FRENCH LICK, Ind, Sept. "a

the United Kingdom, France and
Canada, on a subcommittee of
our Disarmament Commission, to
see whether a fresh approach to
the problem could achieve a So
luton acceptable to the Soviet
Union as well as to the free
world. The record of these
meetings has now been made
public.
It shows that representatives
of Canada, France. the United
Kingdom and the United States
tried with patience and ingen-
uity to explore all avenues Of
agreement with the Soviet Union
which would be consistent with
the security of all nations. Once
more, we made clear, as he have
again and again in the past.
that we seek to eliminate the
use of atomic energy for any pur-
poses but those of peace.
These efforts were met by a
fiat refusal by the Soviet Union
even to discuss our proposals on
their merits. The crux OF the
Soviet Unions position was that,
before it will engage in real
negotiations on disarmament, 1t
insists upon a paper ban by the
major powers of the use of nu-
clear weapons. The great shield,
the supreme deterrent, must
first be abandoned, leaving the
free nations exposed to the Com
munist's unrivalled manpower.
Once that inequality has been
assured, then-perhaps-the So
Wet Union will negotiate further
from it's position of assured su-
premacy.
Such procedure would not in
crease the security of any free
nation.
Reluctantly, we must conclude
that the Soviet Union has at
present no serious desire to
negotiate on the disarmament
problem. But we shall continue
to hope, and to seek, that the
Soviet Union may ultimately
come to cooperate on program
which could end the wasteful
diversion of vast economic wealth
and bring it into the construc-
tive service of mankind.

Nifty Mccall when her name was
Mitzi Steiner, and saw her doing

comes as no surprise. Now that
Paramount has signed Mitzi and

Appropriate Recognition

In what more appropriate manner could
the work of that great pioneer Prince Ed
ward surgeon, Dr.. John Peter Mettauer,
be recognized?
Other events might be planned along
this pattern, with a public celebration in
the Fall as fitting climax.
Prince Edward is rich in cultural pro-
gress. Hampden-Sydney College establish
ed in 1776 is truly the mother of colleges.
No less than eighteen colleges and univer
sites have been founded, revived or reorga
nized by men identified with Hampden-
Sydney College, among them being several
Virginia institutions, Union Theological
Seminary, Medical College Of Virginia, and
the University of Richmond. Logically,
these eighteen institutions would welcome
an opportunity to express appreciation
to the Mother of Colleges. Likewise, Long
wood College has a long and revered past.
il being the first teacher training institution
20 be established in Virginia.
In other fields of endeavor Prince Ed
ward has a notable record. The opportunity
so pay tribute and to give recognition to
chose who have made enviable contributions
should not be passed by

AA and Religion

Questions will occur to every
one interested. What exactly does
the IA group do to help alcohol
les? Is the religion of AA the sam.
as Christianity? Why don't the
churches have as good q record
for saving such cases? "A Sober
Faith is an attempt TO answer
such questions One Of the authors
comments must be quoted here:
Impotence. dependence, fellow
ship, service They are the
stages in profound religious ex-
perience. If the Creclaimed) al
coholic hasn't got religion he has
something suspiciously like it,"
Mr. Aiken poses another question:
The IA assumes that God can
be known almost by instinct. Is
it not true. rather. that we would
not have known about the God
of faith if he had not revealed
himself in Christ?

The Alcoholic
The Twelve Steps

Mr.. Aikens book goes through
the twelve steps which are both
the creed and the practice of AA,
shows how they work. and calls
special attention to the genuinely
religious quality of the program.
Here are some of the Steps: J.
we admitted we were poWerless
over alcohol" Conversion be-
gins when a man realizes and adj
mits his own helplessnessD 3.
We made decision to turn our
viii and our lives over to the care
Of God as we understood him
This is Of the essence of religion
Z we humbly asked God TO re
move our shortcomings" can al
coholic who wants to be cured
and yet 60 on as he is. is = hope

amends TO people we had harmed,

Impressive, Mr. Aiken writes. TO
see an exalcoholic paying back
alinony freely. or reviewing some
shady business deal in which he
had come out with more than his
shared ! We sought to i'm
prove our conscious contact with
God as we understood him, pray
ing only for knowledge Of his will
for US and the power to carry
it out" II, We tried TO carry
this message to alcoholics and to
practice these principles in all our
affairs"

An Old Mothers Dream

Alone she sat in the old home
Before log tire burning low;
And as she dozed there came to her
Sweet dreons Of Days Of long oeo.
With eye lids closed she still could see
The old house os it used to be-
he house hos hounted rooms and halls
With little ghosts that smile and play
Upon the bonsters they slide
And peep at her with laughter COY
Again she hears the din and noise
OF hoppy oorefree girls and boys.
They fill the house with childish oIee,
Leave toys and pistols on the floor
The cookie jor they find, and fill
Their hands ond pockets from its stoFe
Leove crumbs from them upon the chairs.
And sticky footprints on the stolrs.
The old house, drob and commonplace
Becomes q sort Of toiry land,
And once o9oin on hers she feels
A boby's little dimped hand
With fingers soft as thistle down,
AS into sunderland il S bound
And as she dreoms there all alone
They oil come back to her oooin,
Her Jeonie with her light brown hair,
Her John and Bill and Martha Jane
They sit With her where freight geoms,
Her children OIL Of whom she dreams
Haunting this house they used to know

landowners, farmers and hunters
would plant grape and apple seed
