STlLL SHARING MEsSKITSl


The American Legion everywhere-alOng
with its Auxiliary-is observing April as
its 10Th annual child welfare MONTH
This doesn't mean that The American
Legion is interested in child welfare only
during the month of April. Child welfare
is a year-around continuing major activity
of The American Legion.
There is nothing sensational about child
welfare. 1t does not command big news
paper headlines. 1t doesn't even receive a
great amount of public attention. So it is
fitting that The American Legion should set
aside one month year to telling the world
about its child welfare program. 1t is basic
program of The American Legion. 1t is a
program that is immeaSurably important to
America because tOday's children will be
tOmorrow's citizens. The kind of citizens
they will be depends directly on the square
deal they get as children.
So The American LegiOn's vast child well
fare program should be of interest to ALL
It's chief purpose is to assure every Ameri-
can child a square deal in life. The American
Legion wisely knows that future good citi-
Zenship depends on strong bodies, sound
minds and the care that meets the child's
physical, mental, moral and spiritual needs.
While The American Legion is specifically
interested in the children of veterans, its
broad program benefits all children.
The extent of American Legion child
welfare activities may be measured by the
fact that during the past % years it has
provided more than $105,000,000 in help of
all kinds for children. More than $10,000,OO0
OF such expenditures were reported in 1858
alone Most of this money went for food,
clothing and medical treatments.
Through its legislative activities The
American Legion has been responsible for
streamlining juvenile court procedures,
adoption laws, custOdial care, maternal aid,
training school standards and strengthening
the safeguards of the rights of all American
children. It's enlightened policies have eS-
tablished the child welfare standards now
adopted by many other organizations and
agencies of government.
This interest of The American Legion i'm
children should come as no surprise to any
one who has ever been around an American
military outfit overseas. If there ever was
a sucker for kid-whether in the villages
of France, the islands of the Pacific or the
barren mountains of KOrea-it was the Uni
ted States GI And when we call the CT a
sucker for kids, we're giving him the high
est praise of which we are capable. Ameri-
can soldiers have always shared their mess
kits with hungry children in war-devastated
lands.
Those GIs are now American Legion
LegiOnnaireS. They are carrying on in AM
erican Legion uniform their interest in chill
dren first displayed in a khaki uniform in
time of war.
SO we wish The American Legion well
in it's observance of its child welfare month.
The American LegiOn's child welfare record
locally and nationally, bespeaks for it the
warmest support that the people of America
can give. In a Kid-LOving Legion lies the
promise of a stronger and happier America
of the future.

Washington Letter : By Robert Nelson Taylol

the Councils efforts to make it cry
sIal clear that Judaism is a religion
of universal, ethical and moral
values, while Israel and Israelis are
national designations referring to a
sovereign state. They will agree
that Israel is as foreign to Jews
living in other countries as it is to
their fellow citizens, or as any
other state is to them.

BLIND LFlSHNESS

Our present system of agricultural price
supports, which has led to ever-mounting
surpluses, is certainly unsound and needs
correcting. Groups which are critical of it
including business and labor organizations
would be on much stronger ground if they
showed some willingness to make a few
financial sacrifices on their own hook. AL
most everybody, not just the farmer, has
been looking for profitable favors and pref
erential treatment. A parallel is found in
the effort to cut government spending-ev-
eryone is for it in principle, but cries with
pain when it threatens to touch him. And
that blindly selfish attitude could ruin this
or any country-morally as well as fnan.

GOOD START

Now and then some good news comes out
of Washington, D. c.
For example, during the first seven
months of this fiscal year the government
spent 81 ,600,000,000 less than in the COM
parable period a year before.
That is certainly start in the right di-
rection-the only direction that can save us
from eventual national bankruptcy. May
Congress and the Executive branch not only
keep up the good work, but greatly acceler-
ate it.

Terrible Test

Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles, back for a breather and a
report to President Eisenhower at
the gOlfing White House at Augusta,
Georgia, before taking off again for
Paris and Geneva, says he is well
satisfied with the results of my
trip.
OF course, neither Britain nor
France was actually persuaded to
join us, along with New Zealand,
the Philippines and Thailand in
that united action" he urged as
warning to Red China against
further southeast Asian aggression.
81 feel confident" said Dulles in
his Syracuse statement, that that
loss (Of southeast Asia) can be
prevented without extending the
Indo-China War if the free nations
having vital interests in the area
are united in a determination to
preserve peace and freedom in the
area"
But the fact that Britain and
France have agreed only to
examine the possibilities" OF
SEATO (the proposed Southeast
Asia Treaty Organization) would
indicate something less than deter
mination." This. together with the
statement of UN Secretary-G General
Dag HammarskiOld in Washington
that the UN can do nothing about
IndO- China before the Geneva con-
ference, leaves Mr.. Dulles the lone
ly and porilous role of the free
worlds David before the Red
Goliath.
Geneva. said Mr.. Dulles. "will be
a test" and that "if the free worlf
stands firm" it will advance the
cause of freedom in southeast Asia.
We agree that it will be a test, and
we pray that the Biblical legend o.
the slingshot will he reenacted.

Safety Council Notes

In contrast to the grim statistics
of yearly motor vehicle accident
fatalities, it is heartening indeed
to learn of someone who has ac-
cepted a personal responsibility for
the safety of others in traffic, says
Reynolds Du POnt, President of the
Delaware Safety Council.
A lot has been said in the past
about each driver and pedestrian
having responsibility to keep
themselves safe on our streets and
highways. Moreover, the Golden
Rule and the story of Cain and Abel
are cited to help establish a persons
responsibility for the safety Of
others.
And while all the fine words are
being spoken, Gus PotelIin, presi-
dent of a. Chicago manufacturing
company, is busy turning these
principles into action.
The company makes electric hand
misunderstanding lamps which
give out flashing signal. The Ian
terms are particularly suitable for
use on the highway at night as
markers when a car has a break
down on the road.
Gus and his executives each carry
a couple of lamps in their cars.
When they see someone in trouble
they stop, give him a lamp and
drive off. That's all No names taken,
no money asked, no sales talk.
They've been doing it now for
three years, and have given out
about 100 Of the lamps.
Perhaps it's an indication of the
honesty of the American people
or perhaps it's an indication of
how much personal gesture for
anOther's safety is appreciated . j.
but of those 100 lamps, only two
have not been returned to the COM
pany.
AS for thanks maybe this
president and his cO-WOrkers feel
that there is thanks enough in
knowing that the people in those
100 cars-and all the cars that
passed that Way-were made safer
perhaps saved from tragic accidents
by a courteous, unselfish act and
a small electric lantern.

Continued from page u
Congress, have been stated clearly.
mo local, or national Democra-
tic candidate has successfully
challenged the administration
record on this matter. Our good
friends in the Democratic Party,
locally, have boasted as a matter
of fact of their support of Presi-
dent EisenhoWer's program. They
have told us that they voted for the
major bills as much as any Repub-
lican. They cOncede by their state
ments that the Eisenhower Admin
istratiOn has been successful.
But it is hoping too much to
expect a Democrat to ride into
office on the coat tails of President
Eisenhower. Politics is still politics
and what our opponents are hoping
to do is to lay the groundwork for
1866. They advance the philosophy
of President Eisenhower but they
will not cooperate in his program
if they are elected
Il have heard some talk about
the fact that our congressional
candidates, Representative War
burton and Mrs. Martin, the one
our candidate for U. S. Senator,
the other our candidate for u. S.
Representative, have pledged their
support to President Eisenhower.
I'VE in the Republican Party
know that our candidates are rum
ming on the Republican ticket and
that the principles of the Republi-
can Party, which they have en-
dOrsed include not only the pro-
gram advanced by President Eisen-
hover, but also the traditional
Republican philosophy.
