Templeton Jones is not
anti-anything, so the follow
ing must be taken just as the
musings Of an honest man.
Jones has watched the
build-up for Asiatic flu shots,
and he has wondered how
successful they will be, since
ordinary flu shots, on which
work has been done since
1918. are not too successful.
Injections to prevent colds
and flu vary. and so do the
people to whom they are
given.
Sometimes they seem to be
helpful. at other times they
put you to bed for a week. In
the latter case. the doctor
gives too big a dose.
Human beings are supposed
to be divided into two main
classes, medically speaking.
adults and children.
Few doctors would admit
that there are some adults
who do better on child-sized
doses of medicines. This APP
plies especially to injections
of one sort or another.
While the frenzy goes on,
Temp Jones says he is going
to follow the following pro-
gram, and he offers it to all
his followers.
No /. He is going to give
up going to public places as
much as he can.
No. 2. He is going to give
up public eating places,
WlJnln reason.
This means that he will
bring his own lunch, If neces-
sary. (This also means ants,
but they can't be helped)
No. 3. He intends to con-
tinue his lifelong habit Of
washing his hands before
any eating.
No. 4. He is going to wear
a hat this winter. Editors
note-He usually doesn't)
No. S. He is going TO try
to induce the transit COM
pany to cut of all heat on
the buses and streetcars.

George Kennedy. an ex-
pert on refrigeration. says
that the men who work in
the big commercial freezers

observing people, cats. dogs.
birds and opossums, declares
that he sincerely believes
that people do catch colds
from wet feet, and especially
from drafts.
Oh, yes, he knows that a
committee Of English ex-
perts decided this simply
isn't true, but Jones says the
committee didn't have him
in the lineup.
But Jones also is as sure as
one can be land you have TO

Doc Torturers

I suggest that the four
juveniles from Prince Georges
County who gave the hot
back" treatment to a friendly
boxer dog be given the hot
seat" treatment by their
parents. It might do some
good.

1t would seem that our
society is spawning its own
variety of Mau Mau. Let us
hope that the boys who
burned the dog will receive
close scrutiny; not only by
the law but by doctors who
understand this particular
sickness. Even a layman
recognizes it as a forewarn-
ing Of future violence against
animal. child or even adult.
We can't understand why
the names Of the boys were
withheld. Don't you think
parents Of young children
and pet owners living in the
area should be warned?
Helen Simkatis.
The names Of the four boys
who wantonly set the boxer
Duke afire to make him
stay away" should be en-
blazoned in capital letters in
every newspaper in Wash
ington so that decent people
will know who they are and
shun them for the vicious,
perverted criminals they are.
However. I'm betting that, as
usual, the so-called justice of
the land will keep the iden-
tity of these minors from the
public so that these inhuman
monsters will be free to con-
tinue to mingle with and
contaminate other young
people with impunity. Per-
hapS in time. if given enough
protection" by the law. these
lads will be emboldened to
try their luck on some un-
suSpecting human victim.
Disguised.
! can't understand why
the police and newspapers
continue to protect" the
families and the sadistic
hoodlums who tortured that
dog. by not revealing their
names. I think the public is
entitled to know, so they
could avoid them like the
plague. and in that way pro-
tect their children from the
same kind of treatment in
case the fiends decided to
try 1t out on humans.
l.. L.
-
Why should the monstrous
minors. the four boys who
fired the back Of the boxer,
go unnamed?
Such characters have the
markings Of uninhibited mo-
rons whose sadism leads to
State and county expense.

FOREIGN Aid Futile?

The Communists taking
Syria adds another country
to the long list of Red satel-
lites. Evidently the inter-
national Communist con-
spiracy methods are vastly
more effective than the
United States foreign aid
scheme to combat commu-
nism.
Why should American tax
payers permit throwing more
good. hard-earned money
after bad?

It's getting to be fashion,
able to suggest that President
Eisenhower-the President Of
the United States-has lost
his influence because under
the two-term amendment to
the Constitution he cannot
run again in 1860. He has
lost, it is said, his influence
with the Democratic-con-
trolled Congress and with the
Republican members of that
body. Some of his critics say
the President is losing influ-
ence abroad, too. Perhaps
they will get around to sug-
costing that that, also. is due
to the Twenty-second Amend
ment to the Constitution.
In view of past history,
these suggestions appear fan
tastic. The President retains
for the next INTERNATIONALLY
years the most powerful Office
in the free world today-and
that may mean the world.
Notwithstanding the dicta-
tors behind the Iron Curtain.
He remains, also, the head of
the Republican Party. When
1t comes to party matters
and one of the principal of
these will be the selection Of
a Republican nominee for
President in 1960-the Presi-
dents influence will be ire
mendous. And more and
more it is likely he will exert
that influence. He Is in a
fight-to-stay for the enact
ment of the program he be-
lieves is in the interests of
the American people as a
whole. Whether the present
Democratic 85th Congress de-
feats this program or not, and
whatever course the seth
Congress, whether Republic
can or Democratic controlled,
may take. Eisenhower will
keep fighting for a program
he believes right.
To Weld Great Weight
That being the case. it is
entirely unlikely Eisenhower
will look with favor on a Re-
publican-as a presidential
nominee-who will buck that
program. On the contrary,
he may be expected to sup
port a candidate who goes
along with such a program.
And his support, welded from
his Office as leader of the
G. o. P. and from the high
Office he holds as President,
and from his great personal
popularity with the voters,
will be great if he undertakes
to give it.
The idea he will not have
this influence because he
cannot run again does not
hold water. Two historic
cases in which an incumbent
President literally named his
party's candidate to succeed
to the presidency are Andrew
Jackson'S selection of Martin
Van Buren,. his Vice Presi-
dent, for the Democratic
presidential nomination in
1888. and Theodore Roose-
velt'S choice of William How
ard Taft, his Secretary of
War. in 1908. Both Jackson
and Roosevelt had great per-
sonal popularity with the
people. incidentally, Roose-
welt was hated by many Old
Guard Republicans. Every
one knew in 1888 and before

@. Where is the Bible ref

A. Many people think that
Nahum "a refers to the
automobile. The King James
version Of this verse is. THE

streets, they shall justle one
against another in the broad
ways: they shall seem like
torches. they shall run like
the lightnings."

Shrimp Plant Quest

Mrs. q. p. w.. Washington
What would we do with
out the Star and the inter-
esting section. RICH?
I would appreciate any Of
the readers advice on q plant
commonly known as shrimp
plant" Where can ] get the
root Of this plant. or where
can ! find It? 1t is the love-
liest plant imaginable. A
stranger gave me a small
sprig and I rooted 1t very
successfully until the cold
weather destroyed 1t while
1t was sitting in my window.
I'm usually successful in
my pleas through RICH chan
mel so l shall be hoping for
the same in this instance.
Thanks very kindly.

Avocado GROWING
Anonymous to

Mrs. Z. B.. Silver Spring
To start an avocado seed.
put three or four toothpicks
around to hold the seed out
Of the glass. just so about
u to y inch of the seed
will rest in water. Keep the
water level up. and even
tually the roots will start.
When the roots are we'll de-
veloped. remove seed. lay on
the side. and pour sand over
the roots gently and move
roots around gently so that
they are coated with sand.
Put in q large pot. being
careful not to damage the
roots any more than neces-
sary. They require a lot Of
water.
The shoot may start before
or after the roots start. but
until the roots are started
pretty wen. Just leave in a
glass Of water.
