equally for its golden suns" and
its silver rain." many picture
takers get their spirits dampened
by a sudden spring shower. They
wrongly feel that they have TO
put their cameras away until the

We suggest that you capitalize
on the next rainy day and let
your camera catch some unusual
shots-maybe the youngsters hop

We could get on our way home we

The following day the destruction
was most evident. Church stained
windows were ruined, one Is story
Office building had every window
on the west side boarded up, each
window pane being broken by hail.
Every single business down town
that faced west had to have win
dows replaced, awnings were too
badly torn to be repaired, and they
believed 75To of all neon signs
in Topeka were ruined. One for-

Babson Park, Mass, April IL.
Very few people appreciate the
great value of books and cur God
given privilege of being able to
read. The most valuable asset of
your community is its Public Lii
brary-not its Swimming Pool.
Ball Park, or Golf Course.
Value OF Books
One of the first things in which
invested my savings was IN
books. I personally now have in
my two homes total OF about
10000 volumes. About 700 OF these
are reference books, including sew
eral different sets of Encyclope-
dias.. As Thomas Dreisr, Board
chairmen of the St. Petersburg,
Florida, Public Library so well
says, Public Libraries can feed
ones brains as SupermarKets feed
the stomach; actually. they should
be advertised just as food stores are
advertised" This is good thought
You often think you would like
to listen to some famous man, yet
you can go to your Public Library
and bring home without cost all
the important things which that
man has said or thought Tt Is all
most as il your local banker said
to y0u-sCome and get without in
terest all the money you win use
properly. All 1 ask is that you re-
turn this money 70 the bank in 3
reasonable time Yet q better
offer is being made to yog by
your local librarian.

Dear Friends
/ can hardly believe it's April
when / look out my window over
this desk. We're having snow to-
day and the ground is completely
covered. Let me tell You about
the weather we had here last Mon
day. Easter Monday.
There was a coke-sherry party
at the club in honor of Louise
Smith. Louise is the president of
the Officers Wives Club and she
leaves this week with her Celonel-
husband for Washington. D. c.,
and then on to Indonesia The
party was held In one Of the small
er rooms OF the club and everyone
there selamed to be having such a
good time when Audrey Lassiter
told us all, the message that she
had just received from her hus-
band rn the phone.
Colonel Lassiter advised us all,
that i'm 10 minutes a Storm would
hit Topeka and we had better stay
put or go home Immediately. / left
the party like most of the guests
did. Came home and wondered
what on earth I would do for din
ner since all the meat in the house
was in the freezer: we had plan
ned to go out for dinner since
Hayes was at MacDiIl, Florida.
Soon Gene Shirley came in the
house and SAID, You know they
can't forecast weather in Topeka
let's go out for dinner. any way.
Her husband was in Tampa, too. So
/ backed out our station wagon
and off we went TO downtown To-
peka. This was about two hours
after the storm was slated to ar
rive here. The storm | could new
er, never begin to describe to you
In fifty minutes 1t rained 2.5 inches
of water, but the severest part OF
the storm was the hail that meas
ured one to two inches in diane
ter. We were only upset about the
children. Our greatest fear was
that the hail would break the car
windows and would badly hurt
the youngsters. We didn't dare
move and hunt for shelter. We
couldn't have any way because

economic problems of "the peoples
who live from North Africa to Indo-

probably never know.
Following his three-day confer
ence in Rome with Canadian Major
General IL. NJ. Burns, UN Pales-
tine truce administrator, and Amer
lean Henry R. Labouisse, head of
UN Relief for Arab refugees in
Palestine, Mr. Hammerskj0ld will
move on to Beirut, Syria. Here, he
will set up his operating head
quarters and make trips into Israel,
Egypt, Syria and Jordan He is to
report back to the Council within
80 days on what further action
may be required, but says he is
ready to extend his efforts beyond
that time if it is necessary.
Mr. Hammerskjold seemed to
feel on his departure that it would
be considerable achievement TO
secure firm agreements to live up
to the existing armistice, and that
conclusive peace treaty would
be too much 10 hope for.
Even the UN can't work mir

Recipe For Survival
A young man by the name of
Alfred p. Sloan, JT., went to work
on his first job-as craftsman
for the Hyatt Roller Bearing Com
pany in 1895, year in which 800
automobiles were built in the u. S.
Just the other day, 81 years
later, Mr. Sloan completed his bust
ness career by resigning the board
craftsmanship of General Motors
leader of an industry that built
100000 cars and trucks during
his last full working year.
1t is said of the retired chairman
that in all those years he never
issued a direct order. He sought
advice from all who he thought
could give it. "Our scheme of man.
agement," he once said, lis to de-
velop the ability, imagination and
ambition of the individual. We are
not afrad to delegate great re-
sponsibility and place authority
with responsibility Then we epect
results
And certainly. throughout Ameri-
can industry today, there can be
no more important result of such
"a policy than the building of men
big enough to take over when the

Jr.-step down.
On this, in fact, our national
future depends.
