parable to nothing else that has
yet happened to man. In our own
time it has changed the worlds
concepts of time and distance. 1t
has speeded the pulse of business
and the pace of world events. 1t has
brought exploration and develop
ment to the most inaccessible spots
on the globe. 1t has given wings
to new angels of mercy, and new
birds of prey. 1t has become a
farm implement, a fire-fighter, an
accepted rescue tool. Aviation is
available to all of US, whether to
carry our letters, our merchandise
or our families. And military avi-
alton is our first line of defense,
our safeguard against destruction.
This dramatic new force in the
lives of everyone must therefore be
understood and evaluated by youth
who must live with it. Aviation
cuts across every school curricu
lum, from arithmetic to zoology,
yet nationally it still remains to
be made an effective part of edu
cation. School books have not been
able to keep up. 1t was for these
reasons that school people and
aviation people joined hands to
form the National Aviation Edu
cation Council. And what the Coun-
ell is doing should be of vital con-
Germ to every parent and every
teacher in America.
When NAEC was organized in
1853. it set up committee to study
educational needs from first grade
through high school, and to plan
the preparation of the required
classroom materials and teaching
aids. Today, a wide variety of these
special publications-pla and
written by teachers, with the tech
nical aid and advice of aviation
people-are now in use in 1000
schools and libraries across the
nation. And more books are in
preparation.
These books are available at the
cost of reproduction-from 80 to rs
cents each-and a full set costs
$685.. Schools and libraries may
obtain all of these, however, plus
three monthly aviation publications
and various booklets charts and
other materials furnished by the
aviation industry. for an annual
service fee of $500.
We can think of no more urgent
responsibility than that of pre-
pairing our young people to be a
part of the ree-dimensional world
in which they must live.

Babson Park, Mass, Dec. 6. This
time of year | begin to think OF
the South. The birds are no longer
here to wake me every morning but
have gone to a warmer climate;
and so / too hope to leave for the
South fairly soon. Hence, if my
good California friends will for

my column to 'The South. Calife-

it is already booming.
Florida Ideal For Many People
Florida holds a future both for
itself and for you. Practically all
of Florida is still growing in many
directions. Light industries are
finding the South more and more
the ideal spot Labor is somewhat
cheaper and absenteeism is far less
than in the North People are heal
thier and seem happier in climate
like Florida.
In Florida's expanding economy
there are plenty of jobs for peo-
pie who are willing to work. There
appears to be room for everyone.
Certainly, the South is always
looking for young people willing to
learn some trade The cattle and
farming industries in Florida are
growing. Builders and engineers
are needed. In fact, most profes-
sional men can settle in the South
today and have no difficulty finding

ever, that every Southern home
provide artificial heat. Fuel bills
are comparatively small and cloth
ing is less expensive. No elaborate
or expensive winter clothing is
needed, although the women still
want one little fur jacket! Rents
are lower. One can build very
modern house that may be planned
to make housekeeping light. People
are finding it constantly harder to
get servants and hence are using
that money to go out to their local
Country Club for some meals.
LOng-Term Future For All The
South
The constantly increasing popu-
lation of the United States is bound
to affect the population of Florida
and other Southern states. Cities
will grow there very quickly. Think
of your own small town where you
live and you can see for yourself
that since the war there has been
great growth all around vou. Con-

knew as little concerns before the

The Missing Link

The Missing Link
1t has now been openly admitted
by India's odd-ball Prime Minister
Nehru that he comes to Washing
ton on December 10th as a link
between peoples who do not have
such links" Less obliquely, this
means he will be an emmissary of
Red China's Chou En-lai, who is
now visiting in New Delhi Lama
who is a living deity in his own
country-and the organized demon
strations of school children.
While Jawarlhal Nehru comes
over here to visit President Eisen-
hover, Chou will be selling his
''five principles" in Burma, Paki-
stan, Nepal and Afghanistan. This
bill of goods, which India bought
two years ago, pledges, non-inter-
ference in internal affairs, equality
and mutual benefit, and, of course,
peaceful cOexistence. Communist
China, Chou is assuring all and
sundry, will try not to commit the
"error" of pushing the small ma
tiOns around. He has also said he
might give Chang Kai-shek a real
good job if he'd just turn over
F'ormosa to the mother country
/ and come back home, and he would
even consider turning loose the IL
American prisoners that his am
bassador and ours have been talk
ing about in Geneva for more than
year. He did not mention the
hundreds of American CTS cap
tured in Korea, and who, if they
have survived Red Chinese torture,
abuse and privations, are still his
prisoners.
On completion of this tour, Chou
will dash back to New, Delhi
where, again, he will doubtless be
showered with rose petals on Dec
20. Mr.. Nehru will then be back to
report on how President Eisen-
hover is feeling and the chances
of Chou's threatening or horse
trading his way into the UN.
Today. the thought of Nehru
visiting the White House is even
less appetizing than when the ex-
Mediation was first announced. But
it should be possible for the Presi-
dent, without transgressing the
rules of hospitality, to give the

December /, 1856
Dear Friends:
Doesn't the date scare you? It
does me. Hayes still insists that |
not buy Christmas presents until
we find out if we're going home or
not so we won't have so many to
bring with us. 1t surely is going
to be a mad rush for me at the last
minute this year.
Wednesday at ten O'clock in the
morning Margaret Russell of Chi
cago and l started on tour of five
homes here in Topeka. This tour
was sponsored by the Woman's
Auxiliary of Grace Episcopal Ca
thedral and they made money Qots

took the tour, how they could deco

Tickets were only one dollar and

making money and with compare
lively little trouble.
The first home was labelled the
Gourmet Kitchen. On the front
door was the homen:a wreaths
that you see so much this year.
Spruce branches furnished the
background and fruits and gilded
nuts wrapped in Saran paper COM
pleted the colorful door wreath. 1t
was Just lovely We then stepped
into the warm, friendly home of a
r. iC Nylr
there in their living room stood the
loveliest tree decorated with cram
berry strings, popcorn strings, and
cookies. Looking at the tree it was
hard to believe that everything on
its boughs was edible. In the dim
ing room we found a red cloth on
the table with two miniature green
trees used for centerpieces. At the
bottom of both trees were tiny
packages and toys and encircling
both trees were short, fat, red can
dies held in place by clear glass
cups.
The kitchen was literally loaded
with good things to eat-canned
peaches, fruit preserves, cheese
dips, TV mix (nuts and cereals
sauteed in butter and garlic salt)
and cookies that we had seen on
the tree On the wall of the kitchen
was a tea kettle made from styro-
foam and trimmed with gold bands
and red knob on the lid and dress
ed very festive. Angel hair coming
from the, spout initiated the steam
from the kettle. Instead of this ket-

everyone's eye.

ON CHRISTMAS MAIL

PostmaSter-General Arthur E. Summer
field recently listed ten rules for holiday mail
users. We will not repeat all the ten rules,
for some of them are just simple, ordinary
common sense.
However, some of them are worth listing
Summerfield asks that addresses be printed
in full and not abbreviated, and that senders
should put their return address on them, in
the upper left hand corner, on both parcels
and Christmas cards.
1t is also suggested that parcels be insur-
ed and that valuable letters be registered.
Free pamphlets on postal rates and package
sizes are available and should be obtained be-
fore mailings and can be of great assistance
to many.
The best tip by the Postmaster-G General
is probably the one on the time one should go
to the post Office. Studies show that if you 90
to the post Office before ten o'clock in the
morning and between l 80 and $3.50 o. m.
in the afternoon, you will find fewer people
in line at the window. This does not hold
true, necessarily, in all towns, but for most
cities and towns in the country.
The last suggestion is that you get your
Christmas mail off as soon as possible. Par
GELS to men overseas should already have been
sent, and it is urged that all those sending
parcels to friends in this country should mail
them at the latest, by early December.

FILLING IN A GAP

ILLIINNT lin "A CAT
To know man well, it has been said, a
person should examine everything he has
written. By this test the great men of the
Republic have, until recent years, scarcely
been known at ALL
The writings of Washington, Jefferson
and Lincoln have not been published in their
entirety, although in each case the work has
been undertaken and is fairly under way In
the case of another figure of the first rank,
little has been done. That defect is now to
be remedied.
This is James Madison, the most infiuen-
tial member of the Constitutional Conven-
ton, the adviser and secretary of state of
President Jefferson, and himself President
for two terms. Two universities. Chicago and
Virginia, plan to compile and publish every
thing he has written. The work will run to
% volumes, the first to appear in the spring
of 1852 and two to be published annually.
Part of the expense is covered by grants
from the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations.
The State of Virginia has appropriated S1O,-
600 for each of two years. There remains
$4,000 to be raised by the two universities.
This praiseworthy enterprise should be
initiated for later figures of great renown.
Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, John C. Cal
houn and William II. Seward suggest them
selves. And then there are the presidents.
The more we know about the thinking of
the great men of our past, the better able we
will be to deal with problems in the present.
