Mexican Envoy
Addresses Club

The Mexican Minister Coun-
selor. Senor Don Rafael Nieto.
was guest speaker at the lunch
con given by the Woman's Ma
tional Democratic Club yester-
day honoring the States of the
Southwest.
Senor Nieto traced the cul-
tural heritage left by Spain
and Mexico on the territory now
occupied by the States of Texas.
Arizona. New Mexico. California
and parts of Colorado and Utah.
Such familiar marks of the
West as the cattle brand. the
roundup or rodeo, and mustangs
are of Spanish origin, he said.
He added that the influence of
the Spanish days is also reflected
in social. religious, economic and
even legal practices of those
States, as well as in their dis
tinctive architecture.
The Minister called the joint
United States-Mexico dedication
of Falcon Dam last week IAN
impressive demonstration of how
neighbors can live in peace and
friendship"
The speaker was introduced by
former Arizona Representative
Richard F. Hairless.
The luncheon, for which Mrs.
Hairless was chairman, featured
a South of the Border" menu.

his mother is worried. The lad
becomes absorbed in what he is
doing and keeps right on at it.
oblivious to meals, school or any
thing else. He has to be con-
stantly jolted through the day.
No wonder his mother is wor-
ried, for her son is always be-
hind time, or not present for
some task. His teacher scolds
him, so do his parents; his
brothers are impatient with him
and tell him off" but it does no
good.
This is a characteristic of the
child-probably inherited. 1t is
going to take a deal of constant
reminding to make him conscious
of the clock. 1t is, however,
worth trying, for if this boy does
not change his attitude he may
miss important opportunities.
Somehow, he must be taught the
necessity of being on time.
One way is to drill into him
the Importance of punctuality
and the evil of procrastination.
Have him sit still for five min
utes by the clock. Do this daily
until he can tell without looking
at the clock when five minutes
have gone by. That would help.
Give him an alarm clock and
tell him to set the alarm to ring

Formal Can

OrShort
RV EIeni

No longer is there any contro-
versy attached to the wearing
of a long formal as against a
short one. If there's any doubt
left, it is in the mind of the
individual as to just which
length she best prefers and
which best suits her specific
fashion need.
Today short formal is as
elegent in it's approach as any
ball gown. In the early rise to
popularity the shorter evening
styles were considered less "cor-
rect" than their longer sisters.
No such problem today. With
their equally elaborate trim
mings, magnificent fabrics. de-
collete styling, short gowns are
certainly under no fashion
handicap where true formality is
concerned. That doesn't mean
the long evening gown is passe.
Far from it. The longer lengths
possess their own particular kind
of beauty and many women pre-
fer their elegance for evening
wear.
America can take credit for
the short evening dress. We
launched it here and European
women were quick to take to it's

at the moment he should switch
from one task to another. And
see that he follows instructions.
This will have a good effect,
provided it is repeated several
times.
Give him a watch and tell him
he must be punctual in future at
meals, at school and at other
duties. Insist on it and don't
permit him to slip back into his
old ways, even if he has to be
nagged.
Young and old persons are apt
to forget that which does not in
terest them. This lad is happy
while reading his books or doing
his drawing. He prefers to be-
come absorbed in these tasks to
the exclusion of the demands of
home, school and, also, the play
ground. He probably dislikes
exerting himself.
Things won't go smoothly for
such a lad, so he must change
from the sorry characteristic and
learn that it is of great conse-
quence for him to attend to other
duties besides his reading and
drawing and to do so on time. In
all probability. he will never be
really punctual, but he may,
through diligent attention from
others, eventually make a strenu-
GUS effort to that end and get by

kcCahhyism Creates
Fear 10 Dissent, Says
Civil Liberties Union
BY the Assoeioscd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-The
American Civil Liberties Union
said yesterday the worst dam
age" done by congressional in
vestigations "and what is gen.
orally called 'McCarthyism' is
intolerance Of dissent and "fear
to express dissent"
The statement came in a re-
view by the organization of fac
tors affecting civil liberties in
the United States during the
last 80 months. -
Criticizing Congress for what
it said was it's failure ''to lay a
lf-denying ordinance on it's
committee procedure" the report
said that ever larger and more
vital group Of Government en-
ployes, as well as others, are
brought to trial by publicity,
accused and judged and SEN
fenced in a court which is not
a court"
Notes Two Pressures.
Patrick Malin, executive direc-
tor, in a preface to the report.
called the chief threats to liberty
outside the Nation "the violent
and implacable masters of the
Soviet Union," and within, the
"excrescences of our natural and
indispensable determination to
guard against acts of reasonable
or revolutionary 8subversion."
Declaring it the "right and
duty" of Congress to- investigate
illegal acts whether committed
by teachers or preachers, editors
or lawyers. bankers or farmers"
and to see that appropriations
are properly spent or "probe for
information pertinent to possible
legislation within its constitu-
tlonal powers" the report added:
mo legislature has any right
even to expose anything which
is not pertinent to constitution
ally permissible legislation, Just
as the executive and judiciary
have no right tofexceed their re-
spective constitutional powers.

gram for employees.

Question: have recently pur-
chased a home with brick base
ment walls. In the summer the
basement is very damp and the
dampness has caused the surface
of the brick and the mortar to
deteriorate and crumble. What
can be done to stop this condi-
ton and to repair the walls TO
give a nice surface? Asphalt
coating on the inside walls was
suggested.
Answer: If this condition oc-
ours during the summer season
only, the problem is evidently
one of condensation (sweating). 4.
To prevent moisture from accu-
mulating on the surfaces of the
walls and from penetrating into
the brick, apply a couple of coats
of a dampproof cement-base
paint.
This paint comes in powder
form and is mixed with water.
You can get it from dealers ham
ding the masonry materials. An
electric dehumidifier would help
absorb the humidity during the
summer season. If the moisture
condition is present all year
around, it will be necessary to
waterproof the walls on the out
side with hot tar or asphalt.

Question: Last summer I

cutters with an asbestos fiber

roof coating to preserve the
wood. But now I notice that
the house paint is peeling off
the outside of these cutters.
What can I do to prevent the
paint from peeling when I re-
paint the cutters?
Answer: I suspect that when
you coated the inside Of the gut
ters the wood was not thoroughly
dry. This would lock in the
moisture which would eventually
force its way out through the
painted side, causing the paint
to peel off. Remove the present
paint down to the bare wood and
allow at least a week of clear.
dry weather to elapse in order
to dry out the wood thoroughly,
then apply your paint. Make

certain the inside is thoroughly
coated with no breaks where
water could get through the
paint into the wood.

Answer: II there is q terrazzo
contractor in your community he
could grind down the floor to
smooth finish. Otherwise it will
be necessary to put down about
a 1-inch topping of concrete after
the old floor has been further
roughened with a hammer and

ton on the preparation of the

Veterans News

ITO the Home-Buying Vetef-
ans" a 32-page guide for veterans
planning to buy or build homes
with CT loans, is now available, at
all Veterans Administration Of
fices.
VA said the pamphlet is designed
to help World War II and Post
Korea veterans get started on the
right foot under the CT home loan
program.
The pamphlet discusses what a
veteran should look for in selecting
the neighborhood, the lot, and the
house itself. 1t also covers the costs
of home ownership, the contract of
purchase, final settlement or clos
ing the loan, and what to expect
before and after moving into a
new home.
The responsibilities of the veten-
an home owner and what the VA
can and cannot do to assist the
veteran are also discussed.
A copy of the pamphlet will be
sent to each veteran applying for
a certificate of eligibility for a CT
loan. Veterans also may obtain a
copy by writing the nearest VA
Regional Office. There is no charge
for the pamphlet.
