New Loyalty Program

It will be interesting to discover
whether the new loyalty program will
prove any more effective than the
Truman method. AS it now stands
the new regime appears to be con-
cerned solely with getting rid of most
of those who did not vote the straight
Republican ticket or made public ut
terances against Senator Mccarthy
who has his eye on the presidency and
doesn't care how he gets it.
Loyalty is not only hard to define,
it is even harder to maintain. Revolu-
tions, contrary to popular belief. are
not made by card-carrying Commu-
nists, but by the abuses of conservative
governments.
J. Wilbur Potherby.
According to President Eisenhower'S
new program governing security risks"
in Federal employment, Senator Nc
Carthy has proved himself to be a
security risk" and should be dismissed
from Federal service. Security risk"
may be defined as person or group
which has adopted or shows policy
of advocacy or approving the commits
sion of acts Of force =. to deny other
persons their rights under the Con-
stitution of the United States"
In McCarthy's most recent audacious
attempts to silence James A. Wechsler.
editor Of the New York Post he has
shown his unequivocable advocacy of
denying a person his rights under the
first amendment of the Constitution Of

their frailties. vices and sins. What
could He possibly want with them?
Answer: He was going to put this
treasure in those earthly vessels.
OF course, He was going to do some
thing to the vessels. They were not
to stay the way they were. He was
going to take crudeness and vulgarity
and mlsdirected impulses and mold all
that into forms of incredible lovelineSs,
until the Church has inStinctively felt
that those first disciples, including even
Peter who. again and again, seemed to
oe made Of the cheapest earthenware,
belong in the category of saints and
seerS. Into vessels like that Christ
was going to entrust the treasure. And
so He did, with what results we know
and the ages behold.
What kind of a vessel was Francis
OF Assist, who is everybody's saint?
What Christian, Protestant or Catholic
does not feel like lighting a grateful
candle to him? But the thing that
makes us love him Is that he was such
an earthen vessel The blessed con-
tagion Of his brand of sainthood, which
sang its way in beggar's clothes around
Italy, earning for him that blithesome
title Gods Troubadour." touches tens
OF thousands of lives even in our sophis-
tfcated day and kindles torches of faith
and hope.
Into this apostolic succession of the
earthen vessel and the heavenly
treasure we are called. Not one of us
is glorious in himself. But we may be
lighted with celestial fire. The one
glorious. thrilling thing about you and
about me is what we can be linked
up with, wired up to-, used by, in the
eternal struggle between the darkness
and the light.
The final appraisal of any life must
be based on what causes have mastered
it, what powers have surged through
it. One Of Americas most useful citi-
Zens. looking back on his life's work
as the tinted shadows were gathering
in the western sky, said II am CRATE
full for the ideas that have used me"
The miracle of Divine grace is that
the treasure gradually transf1gures the
earthen vessel. which becomes more
and more meet for the Masters use,
until it melts into the treasure.
In moving verses which might be
called 1.-THE Vessel and the Treasure, "
the progressive steps which lead upward
to the final merging of the two are set
down in this order: "All of self and
none of Thee-Some of self and some
of Thee-Less of self and more of
Thee-None of self and all of Thee" +"
Then 1t is that the image Of the earthly
is lost in the image of the heavenly.

Oil for Student Lamps

If there is one thing most people want
to pay for on the local level it Is for
the education of their children.
If this proposition is true-and it al
ways has been in our history so far
then an oil hand-out by the Federal
Government is not desirable.
What is closer to the people of every
community than its education pro-
gram? Can or will communities meas
ure such matters as cost, efficiency, and
results if they don't have to foot the
bill? Are not these factors necessary
for true determination of progress
or lack of it?
On the other hand. would not an oil
hand-out to education create false
impression as to the cheapness of edu-
cation?
In a country which spends more
money for whisky. tobacco, cosmetics
and other like items. than on education,
it may be fatal to start deceiving our
selves as to the cost of education via
the Federal hand-out anticipated by
the foes of State control of tidelands.

children could be prevented by the
application of well-tested precau-
tinary measures, according to a
statement issued by the Delaware
Optometric Association in connec-
tion with Save Your Vision Week,
March II. The precautionary
measures recommended are:
1. A better seeing environment
in school and at home.
2. Postponement of reading and
other tasks requiring close visual
concentration until the child enters
school.
8. Early training in safety, so
that the child avoids accidents
from scissors and similar common
household objects, and toys that
cause most cases of childhood
blindness.
4. Immediate professional care
when amy visual problem or threat
to vision arises.
Surveys of thousands of school
children indicate that about half of
the visual problem cases come
from the bad lighting and other
inadequacies of the schoolroom en-
vironment ITSELF" said DR.. Bene-
delta, president of the Delaware
Optometric Association. when
children attend properly lighted,
designed and furnished schools,
there is little increase in eyesight
problems between the first and
eighth grades. In antiquated class
rooms, eyesight problem cases
double or triple during the grade
school years"
DR.. Benedetto said that visual
maturity comes slowly, and that it
is mistake to push a child beyond
the capacity of his ''developmental
stage" He advised against en-
couraging the precocious child to
read at the age of or 4, because
at that age, the child is not suf-
fciently developed for near-point
concentration.
