gether with the city and police Off
cials jOurneyed to the National
Capital the other day to give their
opposite numbers in the District of
Columbia a new and promising de-
velOpment in controlling Juvenile
delinquency.
At a Washington luncheon, given
by Dr. Frank Monaghan, director
of the National Cleanup, Paint
Up, Fix-Up Bureau, Mrs. Walter
Craig and G. P. Jarden, co-chairmen
of the Philadelphia committee, re-
vealed as the irresistible new force
in civic betterment the Juvenile
Sanitation Squad. Their city, they
reported now has 100 of these
squads representing as many Of the
city schools and tOtalling 4,5O0
| young members. The units have
been organized with the aid of
special police squad. The kids are
given special arm-bands with in
sigma similar to that of the police
badge, and are inducted into the
organization in ceremonies held by
the Police Department which in
clude an impressive oath dedicating
the sWearer to cleanliness and good
citizenship.
Formation of the Juvenile Sani-
tatiOn Squads has put an end to
vandalism in every one of the 19O
schools now represented. These
kids have kept their schools and
school yards polished up, and dur
ing the summer worked like beavers
at cleaning up the litter in nine va
cant lots in order to have their OWL

Dear Friends:
AS / told you last week, the four
fellows in the AZ were getting per-
mission to do their run over the
California Bombing Range. When
they were over their target they re-
leased their photo flash bombs and
an instrument on their panels
showed that they had dropped the
bomb but the bomb bay doors were
shut Colonel Shirley called over
interphOnes to Major Beardon to
open the doors" No one knew in
the ship if the doors still had a
malfunctiOn, if the bomb had gone,
or if it was still hanging in the
bomb bay of the plane, some how.
In the old bOmbers of the last war
many Of you will remember that
someone watched the bomb bay
door and counted to see that all
bombs were released and weren't
caught in the wiring going out.
They waited about 40 seconds
not knowing if the bombs were
iettisoned out or not. Naturally
there was a question in the air
plane commanders mind Colonel
Shirley if they should abandon the
AZ. You don't think rashly about
such a costly airplane. Having
thousands of hours in the air the
boys learn to rely completely or
their maze of controls. The bomI
was released, and after that, the
flash reflected back into the plane
and was counted by all four crew
members.
Time in California allowed Hayes
only a phone call to Craig Robert.

Craig asked Hayes to come fol

Wallace F. Bennett, of Utah, saved
Senior Senator Watkins bacon by
substituting the "handmaiden"
charge-which was based on re-
marks made by Senator Mccarthy
after the Watkins report was sub
mitted to this special session.
We don't know for sure whether

than "censured", but the Senators
seem to consider condemnation a
milder procedure. But it should now
be completely apparent that the Of

undertook to sift fell right through
the sieve and that Senator
Joe was condemned for his bad
manners.
1t is also apparent since the Re-
publican members split evenly, %
aye and % nay, and the Democrats
voted en-masse to condemn, that
the latter could not resist helping
the riven COP into still further con-
fusion. Nothing like salt for a

INVESTIGATE FIRST

Here's one of the best pieces of advice
anyone can be given: Investigate before you
invest. No one can truthfully guarantee that
the market value of any stock will rise Stock
values sometimes go up and sometimes go
down-just as do the values of real estate
and most other kinds of property. But you
can protect yourself against Sucker bait"
securities. This is especially important now.
High-pTessure statesmen, skilled in the arts
of separating the fool from his money, have
been pushing Canadian mineral stocks which
are totally worthless in virtually every case.
Fantastic profits are promised. These gyp
artists think nothing of telling you that your
investment will soon multiply 100 or 1000
times A similar situation exists this side
of the border with uranium shares.
Luckily, there are honest and authOrita-
tive agencies, both private and government
tai, which will advise you as to contemplate
ed Investments, and without charge. These
include the established stock exchanges, the
Securities and Exchange Commission, state
securities supervisors, and better business
bureaus. Investigate before YOU invest.

A TABLE is A SYMBOL

When government becomes the boss of
medical practice-whether through outright
sOcializatiOn or some other form of dOmina-
tiOn-the standards of care inevitably de-
cline.
That isn't just a theoretical argument.
We have witnessed it in Britain's sOcialized
medicine program. Observer after observer
has reported that doctors have been grossly
OverwOrked, that there has been danger
Gus decline in time and facilities for re-
search, and that masses of patients have been
receiving inadequate care. In addition, the
taxpayers have been sOcked hard to meet the
costs.
An interesting sidelight on communist
medicine, which is 100 per cent government
dictated, comes from Bart n Stephens, a
Public Affairs Officer for the u. S. InfOr-
nation Agency, who recently returned from
tour of duty in SalOnika, Greece. At the
SalOnika International Trade Fair the So
viets had a huge propaganda exhibit design
ed to show the superiority of Russian goods
and services. Many of the wares on exhibit,
he said, were inferior to those presently on
the Greek market. Then he added: Gan
American naval medical officer who visited
the Russian exhibit with me said that the
operating room equipment was similar to
that used by the American doctors thirty
years ago. He pointed out an operating table
where the doctor had to crawl back and
forth under it to adjust it."
That operating table is symbolic of what
happens when government takes over, and
pOWer-hungry bureaucrats make the deciS.
ions and give the orders.

RUSSIA BUILDS "A RAILROAD


An aup0tlty on the railroad industry re-
Gently quoted warning that appeared in
newspaper story, to the effect that Russia
might launch a Pacific War in 1856 He
cited this, not because he believed the pre-
dictiOn to be true, but because of the reason
ing that lay behind it. By 1856 Russia will
have finished giant railroad network, link
imp the Asian and Eurasian land masses and
running across the China mainland from
south and west to east. Thus, Russia will
have strategic domination of the huge area,
and the capacity to move her land armies
anywhere within it at will.
Here is an excellent example of the re-
latiOnship between railroad networks and
the ability of nations to make war; To quote
the railroad spokesman directly, g. the
Soviet Union today more than ever before,
recognizes that there is no substitute for
adequate and efficient railroads, and set out
shortly after the end for World War II to
create and maintain a railway system that
would far surpasse the one it had.
There is no doubt that if the United
States were again to be plunged into war,
this country would turn to its railroads to
do the basic transportation job. This would
be the case because only the railroads are
capable of handling greatly increased traf-
fee without a cOrrespOndingly great increase
in manpOwer, fuel and materials. 1t is OBJ
viOus, then, that if America is to remain
strong and prepared for the emergency of
war, our railroads must be strong. And to
be strong physically, they must be healthy
financially"
That strength can be assured by modern
izatiOn of our regulatory laws and policies,
in order to put all the competitive carriers
on an equal footing, and allow each to do the
job for which it is best ftted-with none
being either penalized or favored.

FACTS ABOUT SAFE-DRIVING Day


SD Day" is "Safe Driving Day." We'd
nesday, December Is, 1854. Sponsored by
the Presidents Action Committee for Traffic
Safety in cooperation with various national
organizations, it is 9. day to demonstrate that
traffic accidents can be reduced materially
when all motorists and pedestrians do their
part. The test confronting every community
sWil be to remain completely free of traffic
accidents. for the 24-hour period.
SD Day will be preceded by 80 DAYS of
intensive public education, and calls for the
greatest cooperative job ever undertaken in
behalf of accident elimination. SD Day is
an opportunity and a challenge for all types
of organizations state and local
to join in a common effort against a COM
mon enemy: the traffic accident toll All
major traffic safety organizations have en-
listed in the campaign. The purpose Of SD
Day is to show that motorists and pedes-
trians can eliminate traffic accidents by
their own actions. By asking everyone in
every state and community to join in "a
hour demonstration, dramatic and convinc-
ing results can be achieved.
SD Day will demonstrate that the place
to attack the traffic safety problem is in the
community, and that the responsibility rests
upon each individual. 1t will implant in the
minds of all motorists and pedestrians the
realization that, if they can greatly reduce
dCCAuSulS Oh S-D lay buey can 90 so every
day in the year. The preparatory period of
80 days of intensive education, through all
channels of communication, will serve to
alert the public to SD Day, to direct atten-
tion to the urgency of the traffic safety prob
lena, and to emphasize the importance of sup
2 port by every Individual for proven pro-
grams Of accident prevention. This inten-
sive public education program, combined
with the mass pooling of effort by so many
organizations in all parts of the country,
viii give great stimulus to existing safety
programs, and thus foster year-arOund at
tention to the necessity for safe driving and
safe walking.
Motorists and pedestrians will be urged
on SD Day to accept full personal respOn-
sibility for complete adherence to these basic
safety principles:
1. Observe the letter and the spirit of all
traffic regulations.
2. Be courteous to every driver and pc
destrian-practice sportsmanship.
3. Give full attention to driving and
walking.
In short Drive and walk as they would
have everyone else drive and walk.
Specific driving and walking rules which
are considered most important in applying
these fundamental principles will be made
available in the "How to Do 1t" guide.
Milford officials can do we'll by urging a
strict observance Of this day. One life saved
is well worth the effort.

ARE We SPOTLED BRATS3

The thing that is essential today in this
country when we get right down to it is an
effort on our part to keep a sense of values.
We don't want to be like the pampered in-
fant who has so much he doesn't appreciate
any of it.
In recent years the private enterprise
system has shOWered the American people
with every convenience And yet, during this
period of tremendous progress and prosper
ity, gifts" from government have been de-
manded with a resulting drift toward social
ism and away from freedom.
In this age of wonders are we overly
pampered? How far do we have to 90 before
we become a nation Of spoiled brats crying
for more and more from Santa Claus?
CASH IN THE FARMERS POCKET
When it comes to cash income, meat ami
mails are throughout the nation the farmers
best friends In 1858, Department of Agri-
cultura figures show, % cents out of each
dollar of farm income came from the sale Of
livestock That was exactly twice as much
as farmers received from their second larg-
est source of income, dairy products An
interesting sidelight is found in the fact that
prior to 1916 dairy products was the leader,
while in every ensuing year meat animals
have dominated agriculture's income.
This year an all-time meat production
record is in the making. So farmers should
receive as high percentage, if not higher,
Of their income from livestock sales as they
did last year. Another recent report details
the 1858 distribution of the meat packers
sales dollar-and it viii come as a surprise
to a great many people, both within and
without agriculture. Here's how that dollar
was spent: 75-6/10 cents went for livestock
and other farm products; payrOlls account
ed for 1870 cents; other expenses reQuir-
ed 10-5/10 cents; taxes took 1910 cents
That left less than penny-8I10 of one cent
paeker's net earnings.
