SPEED AND MEN

Three Air Force jet planes recently broke
the speed record from Los Angeles to New
York by covering the 2,445 miles in less than
four hours. The pilots of the jets maintain
that they might have made still better time
had they not been delayed by having to de-
pend on re-fueling in mid-air from obsolete
tanker planes.
1t may be wondered where the quest for
speed records will end. The concept of great
distance is rapidly being eliminated from the
consciousness of men and it is not inconceiv-
able that the time will come when no two
points in the world will be more than min
utes apart
The improvement in transportation and
communication has been steady during the
last fifty years but has accelerated at great
rate in the last fifteen. As matter of fact it
may be contended that this technoligcal prog
ress has been too rapid for man to cope with
Certainly there is a need to revise our think
ing in regard to the other people in the
world. We must adjust to the idea that where
it once took weeks to make actual contact
with them they are now no further away in
time than the picnic spot in the country to
which we travel in the family car.
The expenditure of money, imagination,
energy and dedication is as important to the
solution of human relationships as it has
proved to be in the stimulation of technology
cal progress. If we are willing to accept this
fact the gap between our progress and our
ability to adjust TO it can be narrowed.

A NOSE IN THE TENT

1t was a cold night on the desert. The
camel had chill. That's why the Arab
didn't object when the camel stuck its nose
inside his tent "As long as the camel only
wants to stick his nose in here to warm it
for awhile-there's no harm in that" the
good-natured Arab reasoned.
The camel liked the warmth of the tent.
Slowly, cautiously, it edged further inside:
First its nose was in the tent, then its head,
then its neck, then it's hump. Before that
night was over, the camel had taken over the
tent entirely. The Arab was pushed out on
to the cold desert.
During the last several decades, we've
seen this incident fe-enacted on a grand
scale, with the federal government cast in
the camels role. 1t got its rose inside the
states tent during the depression. Ever
since it has been edging in further and fur
Their. The states are being pushed outside.
There are ever so many examples, but
here's a timely one: Back in the depression
the federal government slapped temper
ary' one-cent per gallon tax on gasoline "re-
luctantly' to balance the budget. No one OBJ
jected much then. Congress frankly admitted
it was muscling in on the states tax terri
tory but promised to move out the next year
That was in 1932-twenty-three years
ago. In 1910, the camel's head and neck push
ed into the tent-when the federal gasoline
tax was boosted to 70 cents. In 1851, the
camel wiggled it's hump under the canvas
the tax was hoisted to two cents.
Now, in 1866, some Congressman have
stopped even talking about dropping the
federal gasoline tax. They're talking instead
about increasing the rate. They're thinking
about hitching this aged temporary" tax to
national road program that would make
Washington the big wheel in highway plan
ming.
Highway development is one field where
the states are still supreme. But they won't
be much longer if the national highway pro-
gram goes through the way it's being talked
about. Advocates of this national highway
program aren't satisfied with federal gas
oline tax increase. They want the states to
boost their gasoline taxes way up, TOTO
fit the highway plans dictated from Wash
ington.
The camel is ready to set up housekeep-
ing In the tent The taxpayers will be shiv-
ering out in the cold unless enough of them
have the courage and the wisdom to put in
a few good ticks for states rights before
it's too late

IT BEGAN IN AMERICA

The observance of Mothers Day, on the
second Sunday of each May, is beautiful
American custom that has spread around
most of the world. 1t began in Philadelphia
in 1907-the inspired idea of devoted wo-
man who, though not mother. herself,
revered the memory of her own.
Happy is the family with Mother in its
midst, to honor in the small, bithesome ways
that can make her special "day" an exciting
ly joyous one. For those of use who are
not blessed by her actual presence, there
is the white carnation to be worn in memory
the memory best loved, and most sacred

This is fine testimonial to American

to the biggest chain. And it is further proof
of the fact that, in every line of endeavor
the free market system gives more people
more and more of the good things of life.

OUR OLDEST CHURCH
The Oldest church in the United States is
on the way to complete restoration. st.
Luke's Church in Smithfield, Va, is being
rebuilt by popular subscription, which has
so far run to 100000. This is not enough,
City, president of Historic st. Luke's Res
toration. 1t will take nearly three times as
much.
When st. Luke's began, the nearby vii
lage of Jamestown, the first English settle
ment in North America, was just 25 years
old. The Smithfield shrine antedates the
oldest relic at Jamestown, the ruined church
tower which may date from 1889 to 1647.
The English colony had not grown great

Opechancanough, the Indian chief who in
Smiths day was the whites deadly enemy,

Famous Fables
By {. {. Edaor

REQUEST-One of Sena-
tor Alben Barkley's favorite
stories concerns the constit-
uent who had supported
him in every race he made,
recalls the former Weep in
his delightful book, THAT
Reminds Me-"
After each victory, he
would come to me and say,
I want you to know I voted
for you. I fought for you,
sweated for you. I don't want
q thing in return. All I want
Is for you to be a good off,
cial.'
This went on through all
my races for prosecuting at
torney, county Judge, Rep
resentative and Senator, and
finally I was elected Vice
President. Then he came to
me and said, MFR. Vice Presi-
dent. now I have a request
I want you to do something
for me-
"A little apprehensive, I
asked what it was he
wanted. He replied, I want
you to help me take out my
citizenship papers.
MARRIAGE-Early in his
political career, Sen a tor
Barley was elected county
judge, he also relates in his
book.
"A county judge is au-
thorized to perform marriage
ceremonies. Immediately aft
er I took my oath. the coun-
ty clerk informed me that a
couple was waiting to be
married. I had never per-
formed such a ceremony be-
fore. When I stepped into
the courtroom. I found a
crowd Of more than 100 per-
sons. I began to choke up,
50 I could hardly speak the
words Of the ceremony. I
grunted. sneezed, coughed
and shook at the knees. At
last, in desperation, I blurted
out. You're married. and
fled, pausing only to collect
my SO fee.
Forty years later, when
I was delivering a speech in
Illinois, I received a note
from this same couple, who
happened to be in the audi
ence. I was glad to learn
after all the years that I
had not botched the job"

Nuts From Abroad.

MUS FOm AUEO6Us
We Americans who consume
tons of nuts, sailed, fresh OF
sugared, do not realize that we
have but two native nut trees,
the pecan and the hickory. All
others, the English walnuts, Al
berts, almonds and chestnuts
bear the mark of foreign in
fluence. They are from other
lands and have been brought to
the United States.
Over 400 years ago the pecan
was an important item in the
Americans diet. A Spaniard who
had been taken captive by the
Indians observed that two
months out Of each year pecan
meats were ground and blended
with grain.
Thomas Jefferson while in
Paris sent for some "paccan
nuts" which he planted in
France. What became of them
~e do not know. We have rec
ords to show that Jefferson, a
learned botanist. had a fine
grove of pecan trees at Month
cello.
During the last SO years the
lowly. hard pecan has become
the large paper-shell pecan of
commerce. More and more farm
ers are planting these improved
pecans.
The hickory nuts are native
and have not accomplished
much. They are like the black
walnut and wild hazelnut-hard
to crack but good to eat.
The filbert or hazel goes back
to Homer's day, when the magic
rod of Circe's was a hazel twig
finding water, minerals or lost
article deep in the earth. Fill
bert comes from full beard"
meaning the spring flowers or
the long husk of the nut or from
st. Philibert. whose birthday is
in the harvest season.
The Greeks took the Persian
or English walnut to Rome,
where it was known as Jove's
nut. The Romans took it over
all Europe. 1t turned up in ex-
cavations of villas in England
and walnuts are growing today
in the Carpathian Mountains.
Foreign or not, the Persian wal
nut has been cultivated in Eng
land since 1862. Just when this
walnut reached the United States
wo do not know.
The Persian walnut was not
hardy enough to stand the east
ern winters. However. in 1867,
nuts brought In from Chile
thrived. Some Of these grand
father trees are still bearing
abundant loads.
The almond has been cult
waited since antiquity. The Bible
name is Shaked, meaning
hasten" The tree flowers in
Palestine in January. Aaron's
rod was secured from an almond
tree and Jews carry branches
of almonds blossoms to the syna-
gogue on high festival days.

Mr.. Champions cold and
nierciless logic usually enables
him to visualize his opponents
holding through their bids and
plays. But basing such infer
etces on what Mr.. Muzzy does Is
like building a house on quick
sand.
yin today's hand Mr.. Muzzy led
the ace Of spades and continued
with the nine. Mrs. Keen won
the second trick with the king
and led back the 10. Here Mr..
Champion went into a long
study. He was trying to figure
out some way to use dummy's
king and queen of diamonds.
Finally he ruffed with the
queen of hearts.
Mr.. Muzzy had expected the
play Of a low heart on his right.
He wasn't paying too much at
tention and he unidentified with
the jack of hearts.
Mrs. Keen closed her eyes and
bowed her head in quiet resigna-
ton. If Mr.. Muzzy had two
other hearts with his jack, he
had just thrown away a trick.
Laughing at this error" Mr..
Champion pulled the rest of the
outstanding trumps, tried for a
break in the club suit, didn't get
It, and went down one.
He was lost in thought for
minute, then he emitted a roar
Of rage. II could have made this
hand" he said to no one In par
ticular. IF Muzzy hadn't pulled
that internal jack of hearts,
could have cashed the ace and
king Of hearts, the two high
clubs and the ace Of diamonds
and then stuck him in with a
heart lead. He would have had
nothing left but diamonds and
would have had to put dummy in,
giving me two club discards."
It's hard to say whether he
would have played it that way or
not but anyway, after Mr.. Nue.
Ey's brilliant error. he didn't have
q chance.
