THE GREAT
GAME OF
POLITICS
By FRANK R. KENT

AOAtl uSCu AdituIudtC
In the past week Mr.. Adlai f.
Stevenson has shown a side of his
character which neither his per-
sonal nor his political friends can
take much pride in or view with
very great satisfaction. What he
seems TO have demonstrated is that
he is one of those politicians who
can dish it OUT but can't take it."
s. 81
For example, in recent speeches
and statements, which pour out
from his press agents in d steady
stream, he has accused President
Eisenhower of a number of more
or less heinous Offenses. He as
serts that the President is DOM
mated by the Big Business" in
terests and cares nothing about
the welfare of the small farmer"
and small business man. He al
| leges that he is a feeble President
who has neglected his duties and
is against the working men and
women. He alleges that he has
broken his promises, bungled our
foreign policies and falsely claimed
credit for many things which he
did not do at all He blames Mr..
Eisenhower for the failure to pro-
vide for more schools for Ameri-
can children and higher pay for
their teachers.
In brief he has personally mis-
represented the Eisenhower record
and aspersed the Eisenhower mo-
tives. And for this he was vocifcr-
ously cheered by the Truman
give 'em hell" elements of his
party, though some of his journal
istic supporters expressed a GER
tain degree of disappointment.
Though he made these charges
with great vigor and a show of
spurious indignation, for none of
them did Mr. Stevenson present
any data or supporting facts. In
brief, he made the charges but of
fered no proof, mcrrily going his
wise-cracking way across the coun-
try, as though there were no reason
in the world to bother about
whether or not he was justified in
what he said.
That is, he did go along mcrrily
until on Monday last, the Presi-
dent, without mentioning his name,
called the good Adlai confused
candidate" and declared that he
was talking lot of wicked non
sense" In support of this the Presi-
dent presented various facts and
figures. He likewise asserted that
it was Mr.. Stevenson's own party
which had killed his educational
bill in the last session of Congress.
j He further cited various other leg
islative action which Mr. Stevenson
now favOrs but the passage of which
! the Democrats in Congress had
blocked Did Mr.. Stevenson answer
these Eisenhower figures and facts
with any of his own? He did not.
What did he do? He bleated.
$
! That is the only word to describe
his reply He deplored the alleged
fact that the President had now
taken the low road" in this cam
paign which previously, he de-
clared, had been followed by his
running mate Mr. Nixon He said
that always in a political campaign
good deal of nonsense was talked
and he did not mind being accused
of talking nonsense" What he did
resent was being accused of talking
wicked" nonsense. He was hurt
by such an adjective, which he said
implied evil, and felt that the Presi-
dent should not have used such
loose and reckless language,

POSTER HOME CARE PROGRAM

This is the first in q series of articles bringing to you
information regarding the Foster Home Care Program and
the need for it. The space for these articles is being gracious
ly provided by this paper without public charge.
The Division of Child Welfare of the Department of
Social Welfare has the responsibility Of providing needed
care and services to the children of the Virgin Islands. Our
lob cannot be done effectively without the help OF the cons
munity. and it is this reason that we are appealing to you the
citizens of this community to help us to provide good foster
homes for. the many children of this Island who are in need
Of them
There are many stuations-which make foster homes
necessary and therefore result in the need for our foster
home program. In some cases a child may not be able to re-
ceive adequate care and supervision at home because OF ms
parents physical or mental illness, Many are deprived OF
parents due to death. Quite often it Is necessary for the
court to deprive parents Of the custody Of their children be-
cause for one reason or another they cannot meet the child's
emotional needs. When a boy or q girl marry their new home
will be patterned after the home in which they grow up. In
order, therefore, for our children's children to have happy
homes, we must provide the same for our present generation.
Many children from broken homes caused by divorce,
deserHon, or death react unfavorably to this situation and
need to be placed In foster homes. They may feel unloved
and sometimes a foster parent can help a child to overcome
these feelings.
Children often exhibit behavior problems which cannot
be effectively dealt with by the family, They often have re-
sentiment towards the parents or the parents find 1t difficult
to understand and accept his role. In this situation roster
home care where the child can receive adequate care and
casework services Is indicated.
There are many cases Ia which placement In foster
home Is only temporary. A young child may need care when
both parents are employed or III. Foster parents and the child
are made to know the temporary nature Of this plan
We are interested In securing three types of foster homes
for our children. They are the free home the boarding
home, and the adopted home"
The free home Is one, which because the foster parents
are able to provide for themselves as well as any children

child in their home to love and care for and. are not paid for
their services.
The adopted home is one where the child receives
free care with adoption as the ultimate goal, II the place
ment proves satisfactory during the trial period allowed to
determine If the child can make an adjustment In the home.
The home most used today Is the boarding home be-
cause 1t provides q good foster home for z child without In
posing financial obligations uponathe foster parents The pa
rents receive remuneration from the government Tor their

snunity supplies the support for the. child, thus the foster
