again. We all know that this CAM
paign is one which deserves every
ones whole-hearted support. No
longer is Polio a childrens disease.
1t knows no age limit. Within the
past five years it has increasingly
claimed people in advanced age
groups as its victims. The develop
ment of Salk vaccine was made
possible by funds raised by the
March of Dimes. This vaccine has
been made available to our chill
dren and is now available to ADULTS.
1t has successfully placed many
beyond the reach of paralytic at
tack The fight has been started.
But, very much more work and
money is needed to put complete
end to this dreaded disease. BY
contributing generously to this
cause, perhaps someday in the
not too distant future we can halt
Polio completely. Please help make
this possible when workers for
this campaign comes to your home.
Mrs. MacLean has appointed the
following co-workers in this drive:
Mrs. Richard Morgan, Mrs. Hazel

SENSELESS SLAUGHTER

The year 1866 set a new record for
deaths on the highways. Over the Christmas
holidays more than 700 persons died as the
result of auto accidents. 1t may be wonder
ed where this will all end. Surely we cannot
permit this slaughter indefinitely.
Some cities and states have found that
harsher attitude toward drunken and reck-
less driving has helped. Offenders are not
only deprived of their drivers licenses and
fined; they actually are given jail sentences.
That is fair enough, for anyone who drives
recklessly, drunk or not, is guilty of criminal
behavior.
The worst thing about reckless driving is
the fact that those who suffer from it are
frequently innocent of recklessness. They
are the victims of someone's impatience,
someone's self centered belief that it is inn
portant to save a few minutes someone's
egotistical insistence that he can drive just
as well drunk as sober
Words will not solve this problem. At
tempts at educating the public do not seem
to help. But surely country which has
built a civilization out of wilderness, which
has ushered in an age of atomic power can
find a way to control the senseless slaughter
along our highways. Shameful as the past
record is, we cannot accept the pessimistic
view that nothing can be done. Something
must be donei Delaware is meeting the
problem by stricter enforcement of our laws.
The drop in highway deaths last year is an
indication of its effectiveness.

HIGH COST OF NASSER

From Ottawa, it is reported that Can
adian pride of authorship for the plan which
sent United Nations Emergency Force to
Egypt is not all that it might be. According
to Raymond Daniel of The New York Times,
it is mixed with anxiety and some cagrin."
There is no clarity as to what is the function
of the UNEF. The opposition in Canada has
attacked the government, charging that it
allowed Colonel Nasser to dictate the COM
position and duties of the troops, as well
as to limit their authority.
The Canadians, it appears, had to send
signalmen, clerks and troops trained for
housekeeping duties. Egypt objected to the
Canadian battalion because its name is SINH
lar to that of British battalions; also, Cairo
doesn't like the uniform of the Canadian
troops, nor the Canadian flag because the
latter contains the Union Jack.
Perhaps the government of Canada could
change its flag the battle dress of its troops,
and the names of its regiments in order to
not offend the pride of Colonel Nasser nor to
interfere with the Legitimate Arab aspira-
TONS of the Nile dictator. This is small
price to pay towards meeting what an Eng
lsh journalist calls "the high cost of Mas
SER" Every day Nasser's cost rises. What
would the bill have been had Nasser's forces
won in the Sinai Desert instead of suffering
an ingiorious defeat?

POLIO-A NEEDLESS RISK

Americans love to take a chance. That's
why we have peanut vendors and multibillion
dollar industrial giants and way of life that
makes us the most fortunate people in the
world.
But Americans neither love nor respect
the fellow who takes the 'you-can' twin"
kind of chance. He is the reason for most of
our automobile accidents our sucker lists,
for much of our avoidable loss of life, health
and fortune.
Until only last year the crippling disease
called polio was pretty much like lightning
in the sense that we never knew where it
would strike and if it happened to hit one of
our own there was little we could do but call
the DOCTOR pray, and turn to the March of
Dimes to help us face up to the cruel blow.
That isn't so today. With the backing of
that same March of Dimes science has taken
better than 80 per cent of the chance out of
polio. We have the Salk vaccine By that
high percentage, we can protect ourselves
and our children. And those of us who don't
take advantage of this tremendous discovery
are now taking the ''you-can't win" kind of
chance.
Yes, your young child or your teenager or
if you are a young adult-you yourself,
may go through life and get by without the
Salk vaccine. But when we didn't have that
vaccine, a certain number of thousands of
human beings in America were crippled each
year by polio. To those who don't get the
vaccine injections, it can still happen.
Why risk being one of them? Why sub
ject your children to that risk? Why not take
the three seconds required for each of the
three shots that will do so much to remove
this unnecessary risk from your life and your
family? See your doctor about it today

NOT A HANDOUT

Everyone covered by social security be-
gan paying more for the privilege at the
first of the year, but the chances are that
there will be few complaints. This govern
ment program of paying benefits to citizens
in their sunset years, In return for cOntri-
buttons made during their earning life, has
gained thorough going acceptance as part
of the American system.
The philosophy underlying the social Sc
curity program is scarcely questioned any
more these days. Questions are still raised,
however, and will continue to be raised, as
to the extent of coverage and the amount of
payments into and out of the fund Changes
made by Congress last year provide an eX-
ample.
The present increases in social security
payments are to go into a special fund to
pay for new disability program under
which benefits will be paid beginning at age
so to workers who are or become totally dis
abled. Congress also established provision
under which women workers may start get
ting benefits at 81 instead of IS.
Neither of these changes in the social
security law was favored by the administra-
changes will engender debate in the future.
AS each proposal comes before Congress, it
must be studied carefully as to its merits.
There is no longer any doubt that the
American people favor the principle of social
security. That principle would be violated,
however, if the program were ever to de-
generate into a mere government handOut.
Social security is not a handout; it is a re-
turn to the workers on the basis of their con-
tributiOns over the years.

bedtime story. Unfortunately,
though. there's not much light
to be shed on the origin Of this
word ''hornswoggle." Experts
agree that it's an American COIN
age that can be traced to the
early days Of the 10th century,
One Australian word authority
recently commented: 1.-THE only
American coinage which has left
us breathless with admiration
is lornswoggle"-and this from
a Nation that coined bonner. "
'bushwhacker" and "bilIabong"l
Some theorists hold that the
horns" in hornswoggle may be
the traditional symbol Of the
husband victimized by infldelity
and that this would account for
the element of deceit and
trickery implicit in the word.
But this is hardly a suitable ex-
PLANTATION for an eight-year-old
Why not just tell him that many
of the Nations leading word
scholars admire 'hornswoggle'
just as much as he does-but
they're just as puzzled as he Il
about where it came from.
Question: To settle an argu-
ment, does fob mean freight

Answer: No, it means free on

head in resignation. Let me
put it to you this way, Muzzy,"
he said. IF you have some win
ming tricks, it's a very con-
venient thing to win them within
the first - tricks played. Other
wise, unless the rules of the game
are changed drastically, you
aren't going to win them at all. :"
You're talking in riddles. +"
Mr.. Muzzy complained.
Nothing of the kind" con-
tinued Mr.. Champion. when
Masters was running his hearts
you were playing good winning
cards in other suits. You had
plenty Of winners for your game.
You just didn't take them at the
proper time"
Here's how Mr.. Muzzy played
the hand: The jack Of hearts
opened and he won with the
queen. He then led the jack Of
clubs and let it ride. Mr.. Dale
won with the king and returned
q heart, whereupon Mr.. Mas
tiers ratified off five heart tricks.
Mr.. Champion was right in
saying Mr.. Muzzy had not played
the cards in the correct order.
For his vulnerable overcall, Mr..
Masters could reasonably be
figured for the ace of hearts and
so Mr.. Muzzy very probably had
only one winner in the heart
suit.
Even If the king of clubs was
wrong, he could take five clubs,
two spades, one diamond and one
heart for game. There was no
good reason why he had to win
specifically the first heart trick.
In fact, in the interest of safety,
he should not have done so.
His best play was to duck the
first heart and let the jack win.
If hearts were continued, he
could win the second or third
trick depending upon whether
Mr.. Masters led the 10 at trick
two or cashed the ace first.
In any case. after losing the
club f1nesse later, Mr.. Dale would
have no heart to return and thus
Mr.. Muzzy would be able to re-
gain the lead promptly and make
his contract.

Mitchell Says
Employment
Decline

Secretary Of Labor Mitchell
said today the Nation faces
what he termed "a cyclical eco
nomic adjustment" In 1858.
He saw a probability of in
creasing unemployment and
more labor strikes. but with
improvement toward midyear.
Il don't think we are in for
a serious economic situation. I"
he told a news conference.
The economists I've talked to
believe we will see an upturn
somewhere around the middle
Of 1855"
He said this winter is likely
to be q bit worse than usual
with some declines in business.
Mr.. Mitchell expressed oppo-
sition to any freeze In wages.
saying there are too many in
equities In the Nations wage
structure to adopt any overall
freeze. But he said the danger
OF rising wages squirting a new
infationary spiral Is quite
obvious"
