REFRIGERAToRs AND CHILDREN

In spite of nationwide publicity over the
past several years, in spite of the fact that
36 state legislatures have passed laws de-
signed to prevent these tragedies, eighteen
more children suffocated inside refrigerators
in 1861
In the past ten years, 113 children over
the nation have lost their lives through the
impulse TO hide in an abandoned refrigera-
tor-the perfect, too perfect, hiding place
Hence the legislation making it a misde-
meanor (it should be felony) to throw out
refrigerator without removing hinges and
doors. But, it should be remembered that
not all of these children have died in dis
carded equipment on vacant lots or trash
heaps. The kitchen refrigerator, empty and
open for defrosting, is just as tempting
when hide-and-seek game is on and mo-
ther has gone to the store or is talking on
the phone. In many homes, this death-trap
may be on the back porch or even in the
basement.
But today, while Congress is considering
WAYS and means Of putting an end to these
hideous mishaps, long-range answer, bet
ter than any legislation, comes from a manu-
facturer. This company has announced that
all its new refrigerators will be equipped
with a safety release, by which the door may
be opened from the inside. A luminous plas-
tic button on the inside-release, that glows
in the dark and attracts the hidden child's
aItentlOn, requires only SlgnL push TO open
the way to safety and freedom
In view of the great concern of Ameri-
can manufacturers for the safety as well as
the quality and convenience of their pro-
ducts, we may be sure that the rest of the
industry will follow Admiral's lead. But.
even so, for years to come-until the last
of these old-fashioned booby-traps is reduc-
ed to scrap-the responsibility of removing
the doors before discarding is a vital one.
Think of the 113 adventurous little peo-
pie who will never play hide-and-seek again.
Think of August II, 1853, when five youngs-
ters from the same family perished in air
tight blackness in Proctor, Ark, and of
August Is. 1853, when four more-three
from one family-net the same fate in
Richmond, Va. In word, think!

The foregoing sample may give
you an idea of the push button life

one appliance they haven't invent

Washington's Cloak A Poor Fit
In his radio report to America
on his recent Asian tour, Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles took
the liberty of quoting from George
Washington S Farewell Address as
follows: st will be worthy of a
free, enlightened, and at no dis
tant period, a great nation, to give
to mankind the magnanimous and
too novel example of people al
ways guided by an exalted justice
and beneyolence. Who can doubt
that in the course of time and
things the fruits of such a plan
would richly repay any temporary
advantages which might be lost by
a steady adherence to it?'
This means. according to Mr..
Dulles own words, that ITO share
with others our own blessings ac-
cords with the best and most deep
ly rooted of American traditions
Our own mutual security
plan" he said, conforms to Wash
ington's prescription"
Mr.. Dulles has evidently forgot
ten the general tenor of the First
Presidents advice was to avoid
entangling alliances. After select
ing the quote above, he should have
read on. Several paragraphs later,
Pre- esident Washington said:
Against the insidious wiles of for
eign influence Il conjure you to
believe me, fellow citizens) the
jealousy cf a free people ought to
be constantly awake, since history
and experience prove that foreign
influence is one of the most bane-
full foes of republican govern
ment. .
And again: "The great rule of
conduct for US, in regard TO for
eign nations, Is, in extending our
commercial relations, to have with
them as little political connections
as possible"
Further: There can be no great
er error than to expect or calcu-
late upon real favors from nation

The Cost OF Food
Efficient employees have nothing
to fear from automation. The in
efficient, as my friend Fl. L. Pratt
teaches, should go hack to school
and learn how to become efficient
This especially applies to those in
the food industry. During the past
few years, the cost of our food has
increased unnecessarily, notwish-
standing the good work done by the
super markets.
In 1949, the average reader paid
about $3.50 year to his favorite
super market. Since then, these
same purchases have increased in
price about 11go. The farmer has
constantly been getting less during
this period and the super markets
have been benefifslng from self

be due TO certain services rendered

shows how the Russians are edu-
eating their youth for automatioI.
Most important OF all, the auto
matte factory is in the best inter-
est of all groups customers, sup
pliers, share owners, the public,
and employees-
Although laEor leaders have not
openly opposed aEtomation, they
are using it in an appeal for short
er hours and higher wages. Tenn
porarily, when factory changes
over to automatic operation, it will
throw some people out OF employ
ment, but the most intelligent
workers will still be needed to
watch the machines and keep them
in order IN other words, the au-
tomato factory will upgrade labor
and encourage efficiency and quail
ity.
Attenuation Encourages New
Industries
Many present women workers
should return to their homes and
devote their time TO bringing up
their families. Many of the young
men workers should go back to
school and become more efficient.
More of the older workers should
be retired under proper pensions
These and other changes should
take up any slack in the labor

Dear Friends:-
I have SO much to tell you this
time. It seems this weeks actiyi-
ties have been very diversified.
Last Friday Hayes had the day
off because he had flown the pre-
vious night. It was a lovely spring
day and we had just finished TAX
ing Dawn to the Shawnee County
Health Clinic to complete her poll
10 shots. ! suggested to Hayes that
we go to the local paper and ad-
yertise his Sears scooter for sale.
The nice warm weather that was
forecast for the weekend might
be just what we needed to move
our 10-month-old red scooter.
Hayes only transportation at his
African base last summer was this
two wheel contrivance 1t was a
life saver TO him over there where
base busses ran at infrequent in
tervals. but sSace he has returned
here it has been Sitting idle month
after month. We live off base, you
see, and traffic from here to the
base is too intensified to make the
trip safely by the scooter.
Palm Sunday a young boy bought
our scooter for $3.50 and with that
money we became a two-car fam
lily. Don't you dare laugh; It's a
highly respectable car we bought
for $4,000 Cur NEW twenty-year-
old ear was used by a new car
dealer as a service car. He told US
that the car had been a one-owner
car. It sounded good and on Palm
Sunday we didn't think he could
be untruthful. and sure enough
when we got the title from the
Kansas State Department it had
been owned by a farmer from HOl-
ton all these years. In the tiny
glove compartment was a manuel
that read "Your service manuel for
your new 1896 Chevrolet"
Base stickers are required for
the Chevie to get on Forbes Air

how we could manage this since
the windshield is already too tiny
compared to the wide vision cars
Of today. The car has one fender
that isn't dented Our whole fam
lily is a little cramped in the coupe
and even Dawn complains of a
back ache when she perches on
the little ledge in back of the
front seat. We laughed when we
noticed we were given six wheels
with our big bargain. Hayes said
they did this just to make sure
we'd make it flomei

The Better Life-Au Jus!


No doubt the most spectacular
thing that has happened to us
Americans in this twentieth cen
tury is electricity. AS the century
began, not quite two per cent of
the nations homes were wired.
Today, only two per cent are MOTT
And where only the most opulent
homes enjoyed the luxury of cleo
trict light (without appliances)
half a century ago, almost every
body today is on the threshold of
electrical living, or so we're told.
To US oldsters, having lights and
washing machine and a tOaster
maybe a mixer in the kitchen
and an electric drill in the base
ment tool-box-is living electri-
cally. And the TV set, of course,
is the last word. Naturally, most
farmers are a little ahead of us,
with lights in the barn, electric
mixers and cream separators and
perhaps refrigerated milk tank.
But it seems we're hardly begun
to make full use of kilowatts, and
new age is about to dawn in
which we will. as the electric peo-
pie say, "live better electrically"
To give you an idea of what's
ahead, we shall select at random
a few of the twenty questions con-
tanned in quiz sheet we received
the other day:
Must you feel your way around
a room before you turn on the
light?" it Mostly asks. Sure, we do.
But we've been doing it so long
it's no great hazard when
the lady-of- takes a no
ton to shift the furniture around.
do your youngsters monopoIize
the television set?" OF course they
do, we reply. And the quiz sheet
comes right back at US with the
idea that a second set would fix
this problem. You know, we just
never thought of that.
rs there always enough hot wa
ter to go around at bath time? p
Don't be sillyi
"Does your clock tell more than
the timer" We had always thought
that was responsibility enough for
clock. But it seen now it will
turn on or off the radio and make
the coffee, too. The quiz doesn't
say how it is on waffles.
do you have a good reading
lamp at every chair and sofa in
your living room?" Guess we
really don't. But it's a darn good
idea.
do you have to unscramble a
tangle of extension cords when
ever you want to use an appli-
ance?" Well take the Fifth Amend
ment on that one!

Something To Chevy On

We are expecting good deal
of the great American dentist For
instance, there is only one of him
to every 1856 of us. And, except
for runny noses in season, nothing
troubles so many of us as our
teeth. In spite of the fact that we
pay an annual dental bill of a
billion-and-a-haIf dollars, less than
half of us are receiving the dental
care we need. Even though the
Government screens draftees for
healthy specimens, it's costing a
hundred million a year to fix their
teeth, and veterans dental bills
paid by Uncle Sam in the last five
years amount to $50 millions.
Even though nothing in the world
can hurt much more than a real
jumping toothache, dental Ills
aren't as dramatic as many others
which the public is asked to fight
with their cash contributions year
| in and year out. The dentists have
never put on a fund drive, but con-
tribute about quarter million
dollars year themselves to dem
tai research. The proposed federal
budget calls for an appropriation
of 100000 for this purpose.
In view of the shocking fact that
SO per cent of all Americans are
victims of tcosh decay. and that our
43 dental schools and seven dental
research centers are virtually with
out endowment, the need for ade-
quate research funds would seem
to have reached the proportions If

BABSON PARK, Mass, April
We see much in the news today
regarding Attenuation, which is
the scientific name for automatic
factories. / want all investors to
know how I feel regarding such
developments.
Changes VIII Come Slowly
The automatic factory is coming,
but will come slowly, for several
reasons: i1) 1t awaits more con-
solidations. ~ 1t requires large
capital expenditure (3) 1t applies
only 20 standard goods which can
be used in great quantities, and
cannot now be used for a product
which has various styles and sizes.
The oil industry uses automation
successfully; but the baking, can
dy, textile, and many other indus
tries could also do so il they could
raise the capital and secure the
volume necessary for profitable
change-over.
Investors should realize that it
is foolish to invest in obsolete con-
Germs. Many corporations listed on
the n Y. Stock Exchange are now
earning good money, but have OBJ
solete plants. They could not
stand up, in competition, with this
new automatic development. The
sooner these stocks are sold, the
better. Please, however, do not
write me for the names of these
companies. Your investment ad-
visor or local bank should be able
to give you this information. I be-
Iieve that investors have much
more to fear from automation than
has labor.
Rfasons For Attenuation
Attenuation is absolutely neces-
sary If we are to continue to raise
the American standard OF living.
1t is also necessary for our na-

sion, executive agreement or treaty
can supersede the Constitution;
by keeping out of the Atlantic
Union and World government; by
ending the Status of Forces Treaty
which denies Constitutional pro-
lection to servicemen abroad; by
continuing the policies expressed in
Washington's Farewell Address
and in the Monroe Doctrine; by re-
organizing the United Nations as
an association of Communist
states, and falling that, press for
u. S. withdrawal.
2. Protect the solvency of the
u. S.-by limiting federal taxes,
spending and borrowing; by balanc-
ing the budget and reducing the
national debt; by limiting foreign
spending; by safeguarding Amer
ican markets with mutually bene-
fetal trade agreements; by taking
the Government out of business; by
adopting the Hoover Commission
recommendations to save seven
billion dollars year.
8. Maintain peace with honor-by
entering no foreign wars unless
the safety of the u. s. is directly
threatened; by making full use of
our industrial power; by creating
Overwhelming American air super
iority supported by modern land
and sea forcess by rejecting the
out-dated mass army concept, and
by abolishing conscriptlon.
4. Safeguard the Constitutional
people-by reversing the federal
drive toward socialism; by enforc-
ing Articles TX and x of the Bill
of Rights-providing that Constitu-
tional rights and powers not spe-
cifically given to the Federal Gov
eminent are reserved to the States
or to the people-and which places
the complete and exclusive control
of public education undor state and
local governments.
5. Destroy the Communist con-
spiracy and abolish socialistic bu-
reaucracy-by supporting anti
Communist Investigations; by up
holding the McCarran-W Walter Act:
by refusing or Withdrawing dipIo-
matte recognition of Communist
countries; by abolishing monopoly
and special privilege in business
and labor and government; by
abolishing the Withholding tax: by
guaranteeing the right TO work,
and the right of the worker to re-
ceive his earnings In full.
Politicos who may be inclined to
regard all this as reactionary hot
air, are reminded that the Wash
ington's Birthday rally OF For
America jammed New York's Car
negie Hall to the roof, and left
