I'm THE AIR FORCE"
BY Elaine Townsend Dleksrson

all tonsillectomies and other minor
operations (although they say
there are no minor operations any
more), merely to save room in the
hospital for flu cases. The base
hospital is filled to capacity and
they have recently taken over one
of the barracks. We have not had
the flu shots merely because they
just received the serum not too
long ago. Dawn and | are fighting
the bug with gargling regularly
and taking lots of juices and any
thing else anyone suggests. It's
been pretty serious for lots of Air
Forces wives who must take care
of their children and try to get
well too. Many of the girls hus-
bands are at the competition or on
missions elsewhere and are left
alone with only other Air Force
wives to help. And they do

Dickey called me from a local mo-
tel. Do you remember my telling
you about Mickey Pate staying
with me for week last winter be-
fore she left to join her husband
in Germany? Wilma and Mickey
have become good friends in Ger
many and when they received or
ders to come to Forbes Air Force
Base, Mickey gave Wilma my adj
dress. Before Wilma left they were
given party by neighbors of theirs
in Germany and their host and hos
tess were "Nicki'' and Craig Rob
ertson. "Nicki'' is better known in
Milford as Adele Warren Robert
son. Adele and / knew each other
all through elementary, junior and
senior high school and so when
Wilma told Adele where they were
being transferred Adele too gave
Wilma our address. Captain and
Mrs. Dickey and their three daagh-
ters right now are staying in the
base guest house, but this week
will be settled in brand new home
right around the corner from our
new home. I've enjoyed meeting
these new friends of friends and
soon will enjoy having them as
neighbors
Halloween night here was not
very auspicious event. Many,
many children were sick l had
barrels of candy ready for the trick
or treaters, but few knocked.
Lynne sat on the sofa and watched
through the window, the healthy
HaIloweeners. Dawn suggested TAX
ing two bags on her tour of doors
and filling one for her as we'll as
one for LYNNE. Lynne missed go
ing out and Dawn missed having
her, so it was quite a disappoint-
ing evening after waiting for at
least four weeks.
Have things planned for this
week and wonder just how much
l will get accomplished or if that
old flu bug will finally catch up
with me. YOU stay well.
Until next week.

fic problems on our roads are sim
pie in concept. They involve no
more than this: undermining traffic
signs.
Minnesota Governor Orville Free
man recently issued an appeal to
all county road commissioners and
engineers in the state to upgrade
traffic signs to nationally recogniz-
ed standards.
In Pennsylvania, officials have
undertaken a huge traffic sign rem
ovation program on 10000 miles
of highway. More and larger signs,
at greater heights from the road
way, placed farther ahead of road
way hazards and reflective so they
can be seen at night are among the
improvements being made in Penn
sylvania. The signs are designed to
compensate for Increased speeds,
traffic volumes (and increased
nighttime motoring)," Pennsylvania
officials say.
Tulare county, California, is one
of many local governmental units
that has embarked on program
of sign modernization and made its
roads safer as a result. By putting
up signs that are bigger, better To-
Gated, and reflective, Tulare Off
cials have made roads safer.
According to safety authorities,
these programs are symtomatic of
the need for highway sign improve
ments. TOO long has the lowly
traffic sign, which does perhaps the
most humble and consistent job of
traffic safety, been without recog-
milton for the tremendous respon-
sibility for which it is charged"
claims one expert Because of the
traffic signs humble role, it's i'm
portance has been overlooked. To-
day, it appears, it is beginning to
receive appropriate recognition.
Lives will be saved as a result"

LABOR'S WHITE KING H T,
WALTER REUTHER, told the
Washington convention of the ALL
CIO Industrial Union Department
he would like Federal legislation
that would put "the Beoas'', "the
Sheffermans" and "the corrupt en-
ployers who cooperate with the
Sheffermans" in jail. He didn't
like "the Goldwaters" either. This
is doubtless because Arizona's Sen
ator Barry Goldwater would like
to see the Reuther goons who have
! terrorized Kohler, Wis, in the jail
house-and is determined that the
Senate Rackets Committee will in
vestigate the Kohler strike, iii spite
of the pressure on Craiman Nc
Clellan to forget it.

Washington Letter - By Robert Nelson Tovlor

the Office of Defense Mobilization
with whom he recently conferred
that they were seriously concerned
about the need of graduating more
scientists from our schools and
colleges.
The Presidents establishment,
therefor, must be somewhat dis
appointing to large segment of
American industry that has been
devoting considerable thought, eff
fort and money to this problem
over a period of years. Many large
firms have operated Independently,
and a great many hore as members
of industry associations, to alert A
merican youth, their parents and
teachers to the critical need and
solid opportunities for engineers
and scientists in every branch of
our tremendously expanding tech
nology. Scholarships and other
forms of assistance have been wide
ly offered.
More than a year ago, for ex-
ample, the Manufacturing Chem
lion-dollar aid-to-education pro-
gram to encourage youths at the
junior high school level to choose
careers in science. To date some
$500 junior high schools have re-
queste6 the MICA materials, and in
1857 the program was extended to
cover high school chemistry. The
aircraft industry has followed a
similar course.
Obviously, the Presidents belat-
ed excitment over this educational
crisis is all to the good. 1t should
put fresh steam behind ambitious
youth, behind parents and educa-
tors and all the industrial people
who have been trying to help. And
in view of his earlier conviction
that our educational problems
could be solved by building more
classrooms at Federal expense, it
is encouraging to know that Presi-
dent Eisenhower is now concerned
with what goes on inside of them

! A new trend in traffic safety that
seems to offer reasonably priced
life-saving opportunities is de-
veloping, according to reports from
Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Cali
fornia.
For the first time, according to
these scattered but otherwise SINH
lar reports, highway traffic signs
are being more fully recognized
and utilized. Extensive and we'll
planned programs have been put
into action, and many motorists
lives undoubtedly will be saved as
a result of them.

principles established in the Fed

vate enterprise.
Under such circumstances, in
vestments of U. S. citizens have
good overall chance of pros
pering. At least, they are not sub
iect to some of the nonsensical
restrictions enforced in many other
foreign countries. Also, Canada
has huge metals and minerals re-
sources which can be developed
more speedily and efficiently with
the help of U. S. private capital. In
my opinion, Canada is on the way
up. There may be setbacks, but l

American Companies Abroad
am in favor of American COM
panies extending their operations
to foreign countries where this is
practical. Such investment serves
to offset the disadvantages flowing
from heavy exports to America by
giving us a share in the profits
from such trade. Also, such foreign
Investment creates no sense of
charity, but fosters better under
standing between ourselves and
other peoples.
Eventually, officials of the vari-
Gus Latin American countries will
see the light. Then, one by one, the
restrictive laws which now curtail
U. S. private investment in those
areas so important to our welfare
will be sepealed. I predict that in
less than twenty year we shall be
able to drive from New York to
Argentina over a fine highway.

Dear Friends:
Telephone communication from
my husband in Orlando, Florida,
tell me that participation in the
competition is an exciting expert
ence. The SAC wide competition
this year is being held at Pine
castle Air Force Base. There are so
many crews in the competition that
not all of them could stay on the
base and Hayes and his crew are
spending the ten days in the Cres-
cent Motel, in town. Each wing
is allowed a car for transportation.
You see the flights are scheduled
for all hours of the night and take
off time must be on the nose so
personal transportation was i'm
perative.
Hayes first mission in this i'm
portant contest was like night
mare to the boys since they had
malfunctions in their equipment.
They were unable to complete
some of their bomb runs and there
fore received a minimum amount OF
points. Even though their second
mission was a more successful one
their fight for the top was already
kindled by that first fight in the
1857 competition. Tomorrow morn
ing early is Hayes last mission and
l shall keep my fingers crossed for
them. Already my poor husband
has lost fifteen pounds during his
week in Florida and he had lost
weight even when he was here
worrying about it. You can't Wis
ualize how keyed up the boys be-
come unless you're there watching
all the activity. On the fight line
housed in a building is a huge
score board with each crews' name
on the board. AS each resuit of the
runs are wired back to the base
they are marked on this board (like
the stock board on Wall Street,
and the excitment mounts as the
points are tailed.
Tuesday or Wednesday evening
at a formal dinner in Orlando al
the crews are assembled to watch
the presentation of trophies to the
winning crews. The crew with the
maximum amount of points in the
competition is presented that even
ing with a spot promotion by Gen
eral Tom Powers, the new boss fol
Strategic Air Command.
During Hayes ten day tenure
down south l had planned to an
tique hunt, window shop here anC
in Kansas City, to eat dinner out
and just have vacation too. Hayes

You Haze Ne in
STITCHES
BY DOROTHY ROE
Associated press women's editor

Associated Press Women's Editor
MODERN HOME SEWING fans
are tricky gals. They can pick the
simplest style in the pattern book,
whip it up in no time and achieve
a haute-couture look with a few
imaginative touches of their own.
Local sewing center experts point
out that trimming possibilities are
unlimited if you take advantage of
the new decorative stitching poss-
ible with new automatic sewing
machines or attachments.
An example is a simple one-piece
dress of the easy-to-make variety
featured by most pattern compan-
les. Make it in dark crepe or
sheer wool, then go to work on
decorative stitching for yoke with
a western flavor.
After the dress itself is complet-
ed, make a pattern of the motif
you cohose on tissue paper and
trace it onto the dress. Try the
dress on before stitching the de
sign, to be sure it falls in the right
place.
The most effective design uses
several kinds of stitches. A plain
zigzag stitch may be worked in
wide scallops for the top row of
stitching, all the way round the
yoke. This is one of the basic set
tings of the new slant-needle auto
matte machines. The next row may
be done in the solid scallop or
solid pyramid design. To make cir
cles, place fabric in an embroidery
hoop, set machine for freehand
stitching and satin stitch. Turn
hoop slowly and evenly to achieve
circles.
Below the circles make a line of
plain satin stitching, then three
more lines of stitching for a decor
ative finish. Two rows of solid pyr-
amids, may be stitched, with a line
of diamonds or little balls in be-
tween.
The stitching should be done in
white on a black, navy or brown
fabric.

Babson Park, Mass, Nov. Z. The
devaluation of the French franc
and the threat of currency deval-
uation in other European countries
have caused considerable concern
here in the U. S. l am asked if
foreign investments are safe or
wise at this time OF course, there
is no simple answer to such a
question, but l will try to explain
my position.
Good Investment Climate
Usually, 1 have advised people
not to invest their hard earned
money abroad. have done this not
because it is impossible to make
profits on foreign investments.
but because their proper super
vision takes more time and effort
than most people are willing to
give. Without close supervision,
profits are unlikely and serious
losses could occur. Sometimes
have advised against buying the
securities of foreign companies be-
cause of tax complications in the
home country of the firm and in
the u. S.
However, l have never been a.
gainst sound foreign investments
in cases where the prospective in
vestors were willing to work hard
to protect their interests. Some
foreign countries,-like Canada, and
to a lesser extent, Britain, France,
Italy, and Spain-provide fairly
good climate for American funds.
others, including some of our
neighbors in Latin America, cling
to restrictive laws which make it
foolhardy for Americans to invest.
What To Look For

opportunity abroad, do not jump.
Take time to investigate the COM
pany. Or if you are going to en-
gage in a foreign business Oper-
alton, study the laws of the coun-
try so that you will know where
vou stand and what your rights
are. You can get help from U. S.
consulates abroad and from A
merican officials of companies
operating in foreign lands. Find
out exactly what foreign taxes you
will have to pay and what per-
centage of your earnings you will
be able to take out of the country
and deposit to your account here
in the u S.
If you do not know the language
of the country, employ some trust
worthy person who does know it
SO that you will not lose out
through failure to understand con-
tracts and other agreements. OBJ
tain such concessions as you feel
are justified and drive as hard a
bargain as you can. You will be
the better respected for it. Because
of low labor costs, good profit mar
gins are impossible in some foreign
countries but business moves more
slowly abroad and you must have
patience.

CASUALLY the company's treasurer,

tions and the necessary record
forms. The company representative
issues the checks directly to the
executives, statesmen or others
with trips to make or business en-
tertaining to do, and the bank
charges these checks against the
company's account as they are is
sued.
Thus we seem to be on the thres-
hold of the "cashless age. The
good old u. S. Dollar may soon be
a museum piece, what with the
expansion cf charge accounts for

emancipate company cashiers from
slavery to the cash-box, the mount
ing worries and risk of loss and
theft of ever-increasing amounts OF
folding money.
AS for the men-on-the-road, this
new company money is safer fol-
them, too, and should give nc
trouble-even in the newest OF
most primitive territory. The
records show that these checks are
honored by upper-Amazon head

NOT MEN, BUT A SYSTEM

Sputnik and the dismissal of Marshal
Zhukov from his post as Russian defense
minister are not necessarily serious defeats
for America. But they should have dissi-
pated the American habit of entertaining
illusions about the Kremlin clique and Rus
Sia'S potential.
The America which rose from Pearl Har-
Dor can prevent the Russians from overtak-
ing us. And concerning Zhukov, the lesson
is clear. To hope for one man to rise and end
the cold war when we are dealing with to-
talitarian system is to nurse illusions. To
translate Russion politics into the terms of
politics in America or Great Britain is to
practice self-deception and TO waste energy.
In 1927 some Americans hoped that Stall
in would be better for the West than Trotsky.
Later it was hoped that Khrushchev would
hoped that Zhukov would be the man poss-
IDLY to end the cold war.
But we are not dealing merely with men.
We deal with men fighting one another with
in a system. This is the one-party system.
Until there is clear evidence to the contrary.
we must assume that the party controls and
that the man who leads the party is the big
boss.
A failure sufficiently to realize this fact
has been a source of much wiShful thinking
and analysis. The Soviet system and the
history of its evolution has not been studied
closely enough. This is why the Russians
have been surprising us, even our so-called
experts, for some years. To wake up should
mean to think and study, and to remember
that wishes do not necessarily produce truth
or logical analysis.
