July II, 1858
Dear Friends:
talked to my parents on the
phone last night and my mother
said, Elaine, don't you think it's
time for you to leave Kansas" ?" We
have been here five complete years
and never have we experienced a
storm like the one we had here
yesterday (Friday) morning. I'm so
grateful Hayes was here to help
us.
Thursday evening ION my name

Minner of Harrington, Delaware)
Hayes and / attended a meeting of
the SAC Aero Club of Forbes at the
service club. We left at $50 when
the meeting was over and headed
for home. We were stopped at the
main gate by the AP (air police)
and were advised not to take the
main highway home, since an un-
derpass on this route was covered
with 18'' of water We quickly took
another route home. anxious to be
with the children. They had had a
cloudburst in Topeka during the
meeting, but since we were in an
air conditioned room with no win
dows we knew nothing of the
storm.
The children were asleep in bed.

street to her home and we settled
back in the family room to watch a

ed. Hayes said, "The william will
lose in the end" and with this hap
ply finish we went to bed. At one
a. m. | jumped from my bed, from
a sound sleep and ran to the front
door to see what the noise could
be that awakened me. Our storm
door was hanging by one hinge and
hail and rain pelted me in the face.
My conscience hurt me to call
Hayes after only one hour of sleep,
but / knew that storm door would
scar the front of our house if it
wasn't removed. / screamed,
Hayes, come quick" He came
down the hall, wondering where !
was, and what | wanted and soon
saw the necessity of his getting up,
too. There he stood at our front
door, improperly attired removing
the door from the hinge and trying
to take off the suction gadget that
prevents the door from slamming.
It didn't take long to realize
that we were witnessing pretty
wicked storm. Our living room was
being flooded with the front door
open and / didn't have the heart to
shut the door on Hayes while he
was playing carpenter with his
screw driver. We finally heayed
the storm door out into the storm
even though it was still partially
hooked to the frame of the front
door. The storm sounded fierce.
didn't know if the roof or the win
dows would go first under the
pressure of the hail storm and vio-
lent winds. The weather bureau
announced next day that during the
two hour period of the storm, the
winds ranged from SIS to 80 miles
an hour.
We went back into the bedroom
securing all windows and it was
then that we heard the weird wall
of a siren. Hayes has always fear

southwest of Topeka as we can

Hayes said we would never hear a
tornado warning signal. Fortu-
nately this time we did. I yelled to
the children to get up Immediately
and had rain coats ready for them
to wrap up in. The hail was so
intense that we knew we could not

PAY HEED TO THE ECONOMIC
FACTOR

Some population experts antici-
pate a new wave of births in the
early 1960's. They base their fore
casts chiefly on the fact that the
number of women in the 18-to-34
age group (Which breeds the most
children) will soon increase rap
idly as the war and early postwar
babies reach maturity. But the fact
that there will be more women of
child-bearing age does not neces-
ssrily mean they will bear more
children.
Years ago, the demographers. or
population experts, were consist
emily on the low side in their fore
casts. Many of my readers re-
member that we were told in the
thirties that the u. S. population
had just about reached its peak.
Then came World War II and an
economic boom which encouraged
a record increase in the birth rate.
This was at time when we were
making great strides in prolonging
the lifespan. Again the demo-
graphers missed the boat, with
forecasts too low. Now their pre-
dictions appear too high! They
are too eager to make simple pro-
jections of recent trends without
taking into account the economic,

independence from Spain was won

Cuba remained a protectorate of
the U. S. until 1894 And, whether
we like it or not, Kremlin stooge
Castro cut this country in OF the
deal when he kidnapped our ma
tionals. Our duty in assisting Pres
ident Batista to resore law and
order is abundantly clear.

THE NEW FLAG

The admission of Alaska as the forty
ninth state in the Union will necessitate the
addition of another star in Old Glory. THIS
is a process which has been almost constant,
and which has already functioned more than
once in the twentieth century.
The forty-ninth star will allow the flag to
have seven rows of seven stars each, or six
rows, five with eight stars and one with
nine, (The present flag has six rows of eight
stars each.) In the beginning the stripes of
the flag represented the thirteen original
states.
And while the present flag still has thir-
teen stripes there was time when there
were fifteen stripes in the aag-just after two
additional states lin addition to the original
thirteen) were added to the Union. But Con-
gress realized that stripes could not be added
for each new state, and stars became the
designator of the number of states, and the
stripes remained to represent the thirteen or
iginal members of the union.
The original flag of the Union is some
thing about which there is much confusion.
1t is now pretty firmly established that Betsy
Ross did not make the first flag, even though
as late as 1852 a commemorative stamp was
issued in that vein.
Our flag originated in the Marine Com
mittee of the Second Continental Congress,
in 1777, and news of its adoption was an
nOunced in September of that year. There is
possibility, though, that the flag was used
by John Paul Jones even earlier. In any
event, this first flag was flag Of seven red
stripes, six white, and thirteen white stars
on blue field, representing new constella-
tion."
In 1883 the Stars and Stripes was finally
put into general use, and has been collecting
stars ever since. While the number of stars
conform TO the number of states in the Un-
ion, no particular star refers to any particu-
lar state. And the stripes represent all the
states, too, though they are historically and
traditionally a symbol of the original thir-
teen states

THE FARMER AND THE SEAS

4
The greater part of American farm pro
duction takes place far from the oceans. But
those oceanS-which are the highways on
which foreign commerce mOveS-are mighty
important to our farmers.
Here's why. During the last fiscal year,
S4,70O,000,000 worth of u. S. farm commodi-
ties went into export markets. The signifi-
canoe of this has been sumed up by the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation in these words !:
if u. S. export markets were lost, it
would be necessary to take out of production
the so million acres of cropland now devoted
to the production of commodities for export /"
The fact that the great oceans lap our
shores doesn't mean that foreign trade moves
automatically, as a matter of course. There
must be ships to handle the cargoes. More
than 20 years ago the government recogniz-
ed that we could not strengthen and develop
our foreign trade without at the same time
strengthening and developing our own Mer-
chant Marine. The result of that thinking
was the Merchant Marine Act OF 1886, which
established general policsys that has
been followed ever since. Under the terms of
that Act, we have a u. S-fag Merchant Ma
rine, built and maintained in American yards
and manned with high-paid American crews,
which regularly plies the essential trade
routes of the world The Importance of this
foreign trade is rivaled only by its Importance
to national defense.
Agriculture, like industry, needs the
oceans and the shirs that sail them.

TWENTY YEARS AGO

There are those who say "time f1ies," and
yet-looking back to twenty years ago-the
things that happened then seem a long, long
time back into the distant past For twenty
years is not long time, and it's hard to be-
lieve-even though time does fy-that twen-
ty years ago the world was not at war, and
World War II had not even begun.
1t was on July 18th, twenty years ago,
that Douglas Corrigan of Wrong Way Corri-
gan" fame flew from Brooklyn to Dublin,
without permit or passport, in very light
plane. That seems long time ago.
1t was twenty years ago that Spanish In
surgent forces split Spain in two, reaching
the sea between Madrid and Barcelona The
Spanish Civil War ended the next year, 1889.
And it was just twenty years ago, in Europe,
that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain
signed a Peace Declaration" with Adolph
Hitler.
This was year before the opening of
World War ii, which now seems to have fad
ed into the distant past, what with rockets,
satellites, new weapons and the Communist
menace of today. But it was just twenty
years ago that these things were happening
and the world was drifting toward newt
able war.

BABSON DISCUSSES BABIES AND BUSINESS

BABSON PARK, Mass, July 1S-
For the first time since 1850, our
birth rate is declining Perhaps
this is due to the current recession.
Or perhaps it is because of a
small downturn in the number of
women in the 18-to-34 age group.
l look for a further near-term drop
in the birth rate and do not visual
ize new baby boom for several
years.
