should draft him.
But still, as he said in reply to
the "elder statemanp accusation:
'"I am very much an alive politi-
cian."
-. And People Last Longer, Too!
Nowadays" you can hear the
wiseacre saying they build cars
to last out the payments"
In fact, we've been hearing that
crack ever since we first became
concerned with such matters
which is no longer ago than needs
to be stated here. Thus, it should
be refreshing, even reassuring, to
learn that the life of automobiles
has doubled in the last 25 years.
Nationwide surveys conducted
through the years and published by
the industry's best authority,
Automobile Facts and Figures"
chart the family autos growing
stamina in impressive terms. In
1925, it was found that cars aver
aged SIS years of service and ran
an average of 25,750 miles. By 1880,
they were good for fiat 7 years
Al, 500 miles; in 1885, for S.3 years
and $4,000 miles. The 1941 research
showed a service span of 1912 years
and $500 miles. BY 1853, the last
year fer which figures are avail
able, it took 1873 years and 10000
miles for the average car to run
from the factory to the junk yard.
In the matter of appearance the
parade of progress has been equal
ly noteworthy, from brushed-on
varnish to sprayed infra-red-har-
dened paints; from brass trim to
nickel plate to chrome-and finally
to enduring stainless steel, such as
now seen in fine tableware.
No matter how many years it
may take today's cars to reach the
end of their usefulness, they can
now deliver the last mile with that
stainless trim cleaning as brightly
as on the first-in spite of salt air
and spray, winter road salt, sum-
mer dust-laying chemicals, weather
and wear and tear -. providing
the owner still has the energy to
wipe it off before that journey to
the bone-yard.
We don't suppose they ever will
be able to build a car that will
forever-even for the owners life
time. But if it should come to
pass, we do have the trim for
it-right now!

There will always be a field for

every reader of this paper is anxi-

will continue to be possible, with
further increase in retail sales.
If. however, the tide changes and
retail sales fall off. the retailer
will buy less from the manufac-

duce the number of his employees,
and the purchasing power of the
country will decline. This could

BABSON DISCUSSES INSTALLMENT SALES

Babson Park, Mass, Aug. 16. My
grandson. Roger Babson Webber,
is much interested in the study and
relationship of future consumer
purchasing to the books which peo-
pie now read, the phonograph
records they now buy, and. the
movies they now attend. He feels
that these may he good barometers
of future business changes. Re
Gently he has been calling to my
attention that best-selling record
has been the song SIXTEEN
TONS.
"The Sixteen Ton" Story"
This is a song of a man working
in the mines, whose job was to dig
sixteen tons of number nine coal"
every day and who bought all his
supplies at the company store. Al
though he worked for years, he
never could get out of debt. Having
been taught that all debts should be
paid, he prayed to st. Peter to give
him more time before calling me
home" My grandson feels that one
reason this record has had such a
big sale is that it represents the
feelings of millions of consumers
who are heavily in debt to some
store.
OF course, consumers have a per-
feet moral right to borrow in
order to enjoy automobiles. refrig-
orators, radios and probably tele-
vision sets. There is no moral rea-
son why a working man should not
be entitled to use credit-as well
as his employer-even though this
is a custom which did not prevail
fifty years ago. Probably modern
advertising has been the force to
bring about this change; now even

Perspective Needed

We have learned the hard way,
as Americans usually learn, that
air transport-in fantastic ex-
pansion that has outstripped any
other public service industry in
our history-has also Outgrown its
administration, and in some cases
it's ground facilities. Since the win
ter of 1951-1952 when the city of
Elizabeth, N j., adjacent to New
ark airport, was the scene of three
crashes involving 118 fatalities
within two months, warnings of
two months, warnings of over
crowded skies have continued.
Efforts at improving air safety have
been localized. or makeshift. But
the unthinka3le, one-in-a-million
crash that wiped out 128 lives over
Grand Canyon on June 30th brought
us face to face with the undeniable
need for reappraisal and COM
plete overhauling of air traffic reg
ulations and controls.
AS never before, this is a time
of travail for all those ten thou
sands of people, aloft and on tne
ground, who have depicated their
lives to the air age, who feel them
selves part, not only of it's tri-
umphs, but of it's tragedies as well.
And it is a time when the rest of
us must not lose our perspective
while we demand a new control
pattern and new safety regulations
that measure up to the svastness
of today's air commerce. Disasters
fresh in our minds may dim the
tremendous achievements of our
flying people, but they can not
erase the fabulous rcord of a con-
quest that most of us have wit
messed in our time. Progress has al
ways been written in blood, yet
through the ages more people have
met accidental death in their homes
than anywhere. else.
However perplexing, the new
problems of air safety must and
will be solved. They can not be
ignored. To those who do not know
what to think, we recommend the
view point of Frazer B. Wilde
president of the Connecticut Gen
eral Life Insurance Co., whose
firm, in 1926, was the first TO in
sure airline passengers, and which
last fall extended life insurance to
the crews of scheduled air-liners
on the. same terms as any other oc-
cupational group.

Choose Right
Kind Of Milk
For Junior
AP Newsfeotyres

Milk is probably the most impor.
tant food for children. However,
there are many kinds of milk
available. So many questions come
in about milk it seems worthwhile
to discuss the whole subject. as
Cows milk is of course the kind
we use almost all the time. But
cows milk as it comes from the
cow is more suitable for a calf
| than it is for human baby. o4
Raw cows milk is difficult for a
! child to digest. 1t forms big thick.
tough curds in the stomach. These
curds are so firm that the -diges-
tive juices do not penetrate them
'easily. Digestion is therefore slow
and difficult. Babies who take raw
cows milk often have collie and do
considerable vomiting and may
have either diarrhea or constipa-
ton.
We can treat raw cows milk so
that it forms tiny soft curds in the
stomach, curds as small as those
of breast milk. There are two main
ways of doing this. The first is by
heating tffe milk, the second is by
the process known as homogenf-
zation.
The more milk is heated, the
smaller the curd. Pasteurized milk
has a smaller curd than raw milk,
boiled milk has a still smaller curd
and milk heated under pressure
(as is done in the manufacture Of
dried and evaporated milks) has a
still smaller curd.
Homogenization of milk is pro-
cess by which all the fat particles
are broken up into such tiny bits
that they do not rise to the top Of
the milk as cream. Homogenized
milk, like heated milk, forms smail
curds in the stomach and there
fore is easily digested. =
Babies as young as three months
can digest undiluted homogenized
milk, although they would have
trouble with raw milk. i-
In addition to the digestibility OF
milk we must consider the ques-
ton of transmitting germs to chill
dren in milk.
Milk is not only good food for
children, it is also an excellent
food for germs. A few germs that
may get into milk during the milk
ing will multiply rapidly In this
good food. Therefore we must take
special precautions to see to 1t
that no harmful germs are in the
milk the children drink. -
Evaporated and dried milks as
you buy them in the store are CON-
pletely free from germs. However
the heat treatment does affect the
taste. Babies love the taste of
these milks, but oder children Of
ten object Fresh milk to be safe
should be pasteuriZed. This is
process in which the milk is heated
to a temperature well below boil
ing and kept at this temperature
for a definite time. PasteuriZation
makes the milk safe from harmful
germs and affects the taste very
little (much less than boiling). All
fresh milk. whether cream-line or
homogenized, should be pasteurI
lied Never use raw milk. If you
go off on a trip where you cannot
get pasteurized milk, give the chill
dren evaporated or dried milk.
See that your children have plep-
ty of milk to drink. Fresh pasteur-
lied milk or homogenized milk is
digestible by children too young to
handle cream-line milk.

LET THE NEWSMEN IN

The State Department has not yet given
any sensible reason for wanting to keep Am
erican newspapermen out of Communist Chi
ma. Fifteen reporters, including veterans
representing some of the nations finest
newspapers and news organizations, have
been invited to make a month-long tour of
Communist China. The State Department
has declined to issue passports, giving as its
chief reason the fact that the Reds are still
holding IL Americans in China against their
will.
The continued Imprisonment of these Am
ericans is certainly deplorable. To hold them
as pawns in the game of international poll
tics, as the Chinese Communists are doing
is an act of barbarism. The State Depart
ment should vigorously continue its efforts to
free these American prisoners.
There is no clear connection, however, be-
tween this matter and the question whether
American newspapermen ought to be per-
mitted to see what they can see in Red China.
There has been no indication that holding
them back would in any way speed up release
of the American prisoners. One is forced to
conclude that the State Department must
have other reasons for its action.
State may be afraid that the newspaper
men would be fed lot of propaganda. Of
course they would But any reporter worth
his salt has learned early to separate what is
ITOIH WIldL people WdHC MIN LO Lnlnk IL Is.
Our newsmen in Russia and other Iron Cur
tain countries are swamped with propagan-
da, but they keep an even keel.
Actually, it would be much to this coun-
trys advantage to have first-hand reports of
what is going on in Communist China. Lead
ing American newspapers, press associations
and journalistic groups, recognizing this
have protested the State Department ruling
Secretary of State Dulles would do well to
heed their protests.
