damage must be reckoned with be-
tween now and harvest time. Plant
ings this year were officially re-
stricted to a total of only 17.457, 600
acres. AS recently as in 1851, far
mers planted 2S.195.000 acres to
cotton. No record crop will be
grown on the relatively small 1856
acreage, but it may turn out to be
larger than the cut in acreage
would indicate.
Farmers in recent years have
learned the art of intensive cult
vation-of getting the mostest out
of the leastest." 1t is a safe bet
that Dixie will follow this pro-
cedure in cotton this year. Even a
reduction to only 100000 bales
would not go very far toward cut
ting the millions of bales in
government hands. The cotton
problem is still far from solution.

Dear Friends:
wondered if I'd be able to keep
our fifteen-year-old niece, Jack,
busy out here in Kansas, but SO
far I've had lots of help from other
teen-agers.
Sunday night, Jack was invited
by our baby sitter to go out to din
ner at the Officers Club. Ann Han
sen was the first Air Force "daugh-
ter" Jack had met and the dinner
invitation was a nice way to be-
come acquainted. Jack loved the
club, had good dinner and after
wards she and Ann listened TO the
juke box and compared favorite
songs.
Monday, Vacation Bible School
began at the base. Jack was too
old to enter the twoIweek course,
but our two gals went happily on
their way to class with tranSporta-
ton provided for them by the base
buses.
Tuesday, | decided to do some
summer freezing for winter eating
and bought two fresh pineapples
for twenty-five cents a piece.
thought I'd start with two and if
we were able to manipulate them
I'd buy some more. I didn't have
the vaguest idea how to cut into
them. The husk 90 looked to me
as tough as a cocoanut, but of
course it isn't. I called my Cali
fornia friend and got instructions
from her how to slice it, cut out
the eyes, etc. Jack did one and /
did the other and it required such
a short amount of time that we
were just a wee bit skeptical about
our method of dissecting the pine
| apple.

tive in wide variety Of infections,
in surgical preparation, disinfec

Swabbing the tongue and gums

effective both as preventive and
curative treatment.
Isodine is important news today
because it has just been released
to the public, to be freely sold by
druggists without prescription, and
does not require poison label.
With school out, and the pros

Scoutmasters. hunters and cam

they are uncertain of the purity of

several drops of Isodine to each

What Cost Safetys

Reflectorized license plates, first
issued by Connecticut. in 194S and
now used in five states, have come
into the news after sharp verbal
blast at Connecticut's plan to drop
the plates next year. Some safety
officials have said these plates
which glow brightly in the head
lights of approaching vehicles and
provide a much-needed margin of
safety at night, may shortly be-
come the national standard.
]. w Darley, former deputy mo-
tor vehicles commissioner whose
efforts and experiments over sew
eral years led to Connecticut's a.
doption of the plates, said his
states plan to revert to non
refectorized plate in 1857 is a
long step backward in highway
safety.
A spokesman for Connecticut's
motor vehicle department says the
move is an economy measure that
will result in substantial saw
ing to the state, which has a
crlmped treasury after last years
disastrous. floods. Darley says the
saving will be approximately $751;
900 this year-or only 3% cents a
person! Darley called Connecti-
cuts plan to save these pennies
"a foolish kind of economy" that
'tinker(s) around with human
lives"
There is convincing evidence of
the truth of Darley's claim that
his state is putting money ahead of
human lives. Minnesota, which this
year issued reffectorized plates for
the first time, had 45.1 per cent
drop in night time accidents be-
tween January l and April 80 of
1856. Earl Larimer, Minnesota's di-
rector of highway safety, said his
states reflective license plates are
factor in this important reduc-
ton.
The issue seems to be as plain
as the difference between daylight
and darkness-and darkness is
known to be deadly, particularly on
the highway.

sJers at Our Lady of Providence
True, Mikes is only a part-time
daddy and the lively blond has to
share him with five to ten other
kids. Still, he's tickled pink with
the arrangement. So are the
others.
So, too, are the part-time fathers
who spend one hour twice a week
doing what good dad does the
world over. Between z and p. m
on Tuesday and Thursdays they
romp with the children, read to
them, play games with them and
just plain cuddle them.
Finally they help tuck the hap

occasion, showed up in the nurs-
cry.
The youngsters, many of them
abandoned by their fathers, were
awestruck at the appearance of a
man. Interested as long as the
man kept his distance, the children
would shy off at his approach.
Mrs. Newton, a striking 55-year-
old grandmother, had heard of
cases, too, in which children adopt
ed from the nursery accepted their
new dads with some reluctance.
81 guess it was case of just
too many women" she said.
For years women have been vol
unteering to help the Sisters of
Charity of Providence, Roman
Catholic religious order, operate
the nursery with facilities, always
full, for SO children.
Dozens of women contribute one

men employees feed and bathe

It Could Work Here. Too

If you have a little (or-not-so-
little) bike-rider in your home
and there are Is to 20 million of
them in the u. S.-you will want
to know all about a new bicycle
safety program that is being spon-
sored nationally by Johnson &
Johnson with the cooperation sof
the National Safety Council and
the Bicycle Institute of America.
This new adventure in safety is
built around the successful expert
ment undertaken in White Plains,
N. Y, where safe bike-riding and
traffic rules and hazards are now
taught in school under the super
vision of the police department,
where licenses for bicycles and
bike-riding permits are issued by
the police and where these
young riders are no longer the
nightmare to motorists and police

ul Sci mere. r.
Women volunteers help out on
both floors of the nursery. Up
stairs the babies under 1S months
spend happy infancy under the
watchful and loving eye of Sister
Dolores, floor supervisor.
If children are still in the nurs-
cry when they reach Is months
most of those eligible are adopted
long before that time-they are
moved to the first floor under the
supervision of Sister Francella, a
small, bright-eyed nun, whose aim
is to see that the children, through
love and happiness, are reassured
that the world is a pretty good
place, after all
Under a unit arrangement, eight
to ten boys and girls of varying
ages live together and eat to-
gether. Brothers and sisters are
always kept together. The same
volunteer mothers and staff mem
bers look after the same children.
And, as nearly as possible, the
same daddies play with them on
each visit.
This, says Sister Francella, is
to give the children a feeling of
family security, something which
many of them have had little OF
before they came to the nursery.
The arrangement also inspires the
older children to help the little
ones.
Children of all races, colors and
creeds come to the nursery, men,
ber of the United Fund and the
Oregon Chest. Many babies are
those of unwed mothers, left for
adoption. Some older children
from broken homes are committed
by the courts, others are placed in
the nursery on a voluntary basis
because of family sickness or f.
nanciai difficulties.
They may stay until they are 5
years old, but a few do. If not
eligible for adoption they go to
foster homes or are ultimately re-
united with one or both parents.
Like the children, the part-time
dads are drawn from many nation
alities and religions, and Mrs. New
ton hopes for an even wider re-
sponse.

EXCHANGING VISITS


1t is easy to sympathize with those who
object to an exchange of visits by American
and Russian leaders Russia in the past has
given us few reasons to love her. Her diplo-
mats have specialized in vilification of every
thing America 1t is not surprising that
many of us want to see real proof that Rus
sian gestures of friendship are sincere be-
fore we change our own attitude and poll
cies.
Yet we must remember that visiting the
Russians and having them visit us does not
mean that we approve of their government.
of their leaders, or of their philosophers Such
visits can mean, however, that we come to
know them better and to understand them.
This would be valuable, whether we live for
ever in peace with them as we would like to
do, or whether we are forced to fight them.
We musl also remember that our aim is
peace, and that we dare not ever refuse to
do anything tlat might bring Just and last
ing peace cloEer to reality. Admittedly the
Russian leaders are not the sort we would
want as godfathers for our children. But we
cannot ignore their existence.
