| began in March until recently
Federal income taxes were pay
able in March, but now March
has been relieved of this latter
distinction. A.
March contains many memor-
able days and anniversaries. On
March 30th, 1912, DR.. Crawford
w. Long, a small-town doctor,
practicing in jefferson, Georgia,
| used ether for the first time on
a patient to remove a tumor. The
patient. James w. Venable, was
surprised when he awoke to find
that the tumor on his neck had
been removed and he had felt no
pain. This is one of the little
known anniversaries of March,
since for many years most of the
population believed that the first
use of ether had occurred in Mas
sachusetts, administered by DR..
William Morton, a dentist.
DR.. Morton first administered
ether to a patient on October 10,
1856, in the removal of a tumor.
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes sug-
gested the name anaestheSia. DR..
Long first used ether in 1912. A
thorough examination of the his
tory of its first use was made by
DR.. J. Marion Sims, of New York,
in later years and from the avail
able evidence, he concluded that
credit for the first use of an
a%naesthetic belonged to DR.. Long.
March, of course, used TO be
the month of Inauguration Day
and on March 4th, for many years
Presidents were inaugurated.
However, with the adoption of
the goth Amendment in 1888, in
augurations have been held in
January.
The cotton gin was patented by
Eli Whitney of Massachusetts,, on
March IA, 1894. South Carolina,
incidentally, voted him an award
of $4,000 in recognition of the
Importance of his invention.
The u. S. Military Academy, at
WcSi IOllll, ~ IL was 4odiidCd
by Act of Congress on March Is,
1902 and St. Patrick's Day is
celebrated on March 18th, dating
from the death of the patron saint
Of. Ireland on March 18th, 1893.
The month is the birthday an
.iversaries of several Presidents
IF the United States, among them
being Grover Cleveland, the only
nan to serve two separated terms

FOUR MILLION
FLYING

The Civil Aeronautics Admins
tration recently announced that
1000, 900 Americans had flown
abroad last year. This is a start
ling revelation, unless one has
kept up with the rapid increase
in aerial fares in recent years.
This means that about one in
every 400, 900 Americans flew
overseas in 1856. When n con-
siders that many others went by
ship, the record is highly i'm
preSSive.
The CAA predicts that, by 1860,
over 100000 Americans will be
flying abroad, and that by 1865,
less than ten years hence, almost
5000, 900 will be flying abroad
each year. The CAA says further
that air commerce seems to be on
the Threshold of a new r of
expansion, which would shortly
make it the dominant public pas
senger carrier.
And, Interestingly, the CAA
looks for a gradual reduction In
the cost of fares overseas in the
coming years. This is long over
due, as we have pointed out be-
fore, since identical aircraft now
charge approximately $500 for a
trip across the U. S., which is
something over 1000 miles, while
they charge about three or four
times as much for a trip from
New York, or Boston, to London,
which is about the same distance.

THE TEST OF A FRIEND
{SeIectcd)

Friends are hard to come by IN
this life, as anyone who has
ever had occasion to have ones
friends tested undoubtedly knows.
Nevertheless, one of life's great
est Joys is to have n true
friend - or more - if that for
tunate circumstance should favor
an Individual.
One will find that the test OF
friendship comes when it costs
something TO remain a loyal
friend. The money test will elm
mate ninety per cent of ones
friends, but the test which will
eliminate ninety-nine per cent is
the occasion which demands 10y
atty to a friend who is suddenly
an expensive" friend.
Realizing that no one is per-
feet, we must all adjust our
thinking and philosophy to the
fact that our friends will make
mistakes, just as we will. Mis-
takes must be forgiven, although
not necessarily forgotten, in a
spirit of give-and-take, and COM
radeship. And just as misfortune
can ALLEVIATE sunshine friends,
success often alienates those who
appear to be true friends. While
envy and jealousy do not part
genuine friends, such develop
ments inevitably part the SUM-
shine variety.
Using the Bible as a guide
and some of the great examples
of friendship and love in history,
one can generally settle upon one
basic rule for friendship. II we
can be happy over the sudden
success and wealth of our friend,
share his misfortune and unpop-
ularity, if that is the turn of
events, and stand ready TO help
or advise, or even get out Of the
way, as the occasion may warrant,
we have come close to being a
true friend.
Finally, if you have such a
friend, loyal all the way, hold on
to him or her. That should be
your most priced possession, out
side of God and your family.

thing.
However, in the opinion of the
Editor, every citizen shares a re-
possibility TO look into the issues
which face this country, his state
and local community, and try to
inform himself, to some slight
degree, on the more important
ones.
Too often, in our modern civ
ilization, we are prone to do very
little thinking, a great deal of
talking and little or no research
or investigation, to discover the
truth or improve Il knowledge
in various fields. 1t is too easy
10 watch television, go to a NOV
ing picture, or do something
which requires no thought and
which is strictly pleasure, to turn
aside these indulgences and ex-
ercise our brain power.
Nevertheless, it is suggested
that readers find some stimulat-
ing hobby, or subject in which
they can interest themselves and
that they attempt to learn some
thing about it, either by reading,
studying, or by doing some pi-
oneer or hobby work in that field.
And hardly any subject can be
covered properly, if at all, if the
interested individual does not do
some reading on the subject.
1t is disappointing 10 see citi-
zens reach an advanced age with
no particular knowledge in any
field, except in the field of con-
v~ersation. pleasures and indul-
gences, and non-creative pursuits.
Every citizen should try to con-
tribute something to his COM
munity, his state and nation, in
order to assist the general prog
ress. What are you doing, or have
done, toward this end?

every population group examined
at least two out of every three
in each group express approval
of their local police force.
And in no single population
group do more than one in -four
express disapproval.
These groups include men and
women, home owners and home
renters, as well as people in all
city sizes, age groups, occupa-
tons, educational levels, and po-
litical parties.
Highlighting today's survey re-
suits r the following findings.
/. Residents of big cities -
those with 100000 or more peo-
pie = were found to be some
what more critical of the work
of their local police force than
were their smaller-town neigh
bors.
In these big cities, one in four
say they disapprove of the work
of their local police force.
But even in these same big
cities, those who approve out
number those who disapprove by
a margin of better than two and
a half to one.
2. Greatest degree of satisfac-
ton with their police force is
found among rural area residents,
where those who approve of their
local police force outnumber
those who disapprove by a mar
gin of better than seven to one.
3. And people in communities
with populations between $500
and 100000 people approve of
the work of their local police
force by a margin of nearly five
to one.
Sentiment by size of community:
Rural $500 100000
areas 100000 & over
Approve 1870 1870 500
Disapprove 11% 1879 $50
No opinion SO SO To
The need for more police; for
more foot police on the beat, and
for more police protection at
night; better handling of traffic
and traffic enforcement, and the
curbing of juvenile delinquency
are the principal suggestions Of
fered for improving local police
force work.
On the whole, however, Ameri-
can citizens give their local po-
lice force a pat on the back and
appear well satisfied with the po-
lice protection provided them.

Clearing House Sought
The first would be permanent
African regional organization Of
the Confederation to serve as a
clearing, house for trade union ac-
tivities. 1t would conduct member
ship drives, provide trade union
education and leadership training,
support research into labor prob
lens and represent African work
ers at all international labor con-
ferences.
The organization would be COM
POSED of three area committees,
covering West Africa, North AZ
rica, and East Central and South
ern Africa, whose work would be
coordinated by an African region
al council.
The second agency desired would
be a United Nations economic COM
mission for Africa to serve the
same purpose as the Colombo Plan
for the development of Southeast
Asia.
The commission would replace
the Commission for Technical Co.
operation in Africa South of the
Sahara, their abolition of which is
urged. The existing commission
is sponsored by colonial govern
mentS.
Colonial Policies Scored
The report on the economic af-

/. Africa is far from being an
economic entity mainly as a result
of colonial policies. There is a
reed for a more united approach
to Africa's economic problems and
greater economic cooperation.

principle of the superiority of a
