We're still living an unnatural

Watermelon continues to be an
outstanding buy both quality wise
as well as price. Cantaloupes,

most as big rs grapes, have de-

Fresh vegetables continue to
pour into local markets in great
abundance. Local corn is being fea-
tured in many stores as well as
squash and new potatoes. Snap

and cabbage are good buys. AS a
whole there is little change from
the past week in supplies, how
ever, few vegetables have de-
clined from their previous low
prices. Broccoli and egg plants
have dropped "a cents per lb.
For those of you who freeze, can,

Local cucumbers are cheap and SO
is squash. Tomatoes arc beginning

Meat prices remain unchanged

BABSON PARK, Mass, July rs
l do not know Lebanon, but | have
for many years studied Egypt. AL
though Russia may be aiding Mas
ser, the latter is the brains of the
present Lebanon-Iraq troubles. AS
/ explained few weeks ago, Mas
ser is trying to form a federation
of the five nations which sell huge
quantities of oil throughout the
world. Nasser wishes to be the
selling agent for all this oil rather
than have these countries com
pete with one another.
HISTORY OF NASSER'S
PROGRAM
Egypt is a very poor country
although it is one of the Oldest
existing nations. It's people are
very poor. 1t had been ruled by
Farouk, a playboy king who new
er was interested in the welfare of
the people. Nasser. who was a
high officer in the Army, saw this
condition and determined to rec
tify it. He first dethroned the play
boy king and then started some
constructive plans to get more
money for his people. His first
attempt was to build the great
Aswan Dam on the Nile River and
he thought that England, France,
and the United States had agreed
to finance it. Suddenly this under
writing was withdrawn. This was
a great disappointment to me al
though my friend, Mrs. Franklin
d. Roosevelt. after return from
Egype personally told me that our

MODERN REPuBLICANIsM

Has President Eisenhower changed his
mind about modern Republicanism? He
advanced as one reason for running again his
hope of liberalizing the party organizations
attitude on economic and social issues He
was interpreted by many as distinguishing
between his followers and those of the late
Senator Robert A. Taft.
Now the distinction appears to be blur
red. At a recent press conference the Presi-
dent explained the Republican defeat in Wis
consin as ian exaggeration of the principles
and ideas that divide the people that so many
of you like to call the right and left wings of
the Republican party"
He added that he had lately conferred
with several senators who he noticed were
classed publicly as rightwingers, and found
''no place where we were in opposite camps.
Whatever wing we all belong to, it was the
same one, and not different Ones"
The present presidential position thus ap-
pears to regard modern Republicanism as no
different from the traditional variety.

BABSON DISCUSSES NEAR EAST

shooting war with Russia as Rus
sia has all the oil that she needs.
The kings of all these Near East
nations are controlled by the
worlds big oil companies. These
big oil companies will naturally
despise Nasser for stirring up this
trouble. 1t, however, might be
much cheaper for the United States
to provide some other means for
Nasser to get funds for his poor
people.
Readers have been wondering
how this situation will affect their
oil investments. The large oil
companies are divided into two
groups: The international oils,
such as Standard of New Jersey,
Socony Mobil, Texas Co., and
Standard of California, which get
large quantities of their oil from
oil concerns, led by Phillips, Shell,
Continental, and Union Oil, which
get most of their oil from North
and South America Theoretically,
the stocks of the companies de-
pending on the Near East should
decline, while the stocks of COM
panies getting their oil from the
United States, Canada, and Ven
eZuela should increase in price, al
though this differential may have
already been discounted. In view,
however, of the Near East situa-
ton, it would be well for readers
not to overconcentrate in the inter
national oil stocks.

Your Children's
Summer Activities

"I'll be glad when school starts
again" seems to be a common sigh
of mothers at the end of a summer
day.
Children get tired of playing
with the same toys, the same play
mates, and in the same neighbor-
hood day after day The result is
likely to be irritable children who
irritate their parents.
A regularly planned program OF
activities may solve this problem.
Mrs. Alice NJ King, State home
demonstration leader for the Uni
versity of Delaware, suggests that
parents take advantage of avail
able help in the community. Many
communities have planned summer
recreation progra including
swimming, arts and crafts, and
supervised play.
Look around your area and take
advantage of the common places
and things. The railroad station,
the airport, boats, the public IL
brary, and public parks are all
places of interest to the young in
quiring minds of children, says
Mrs. King. Accompany children
where there is any danger
Special treats at home give chill
dren something to plan for and
look forward to. Let youngsters
plan and prepare a mid-afternoon
snack or simple party for them
selves and few special friends.
And supper in the backyard can be
almost as much fun as going away
for a picnic.
Your children may enjoy "gar-
den in glass;. suggests Mrs. King.
And you don't have to worry about
the weather. This type of garden"
is easy to care for and is a good
way for youngsters to learn how
seeds sprout. To make the gar
den" moisten a bIotter, put it In
a glass and "plant" seeds between
the blotter and the glass. Keep the
hlotter wet Mrs. King recommends
lima bean seeds as they sprout
quickly and children can easily
transplant them later if they wish.
Busy, interested youngsters find
little time to get into mischief,
Mrs. King concludes.

DISHONEST, .DISGRACEFUL;
DESTRUCTIVE

The Kennedy-Ives labor bill,
which has been more accurately
named the Sweetheart Labor Bill''
by Senator Barry Goldwater, makes
a mockery of the lengthy and ex-
pensive investigation of the Nc
Clellan Committee into the skull
duggery of labor leaders. Even
Senator Mcclellan, himself, is a
little shame-faced about it.
For the sake of appearances and
to soothe public indignation, there
are provisions designed to prevent
union officials from filling their
pockets out of the union treasures
and to give union members a voice
in the election of union officers.
But there is nothing in the Ken
nedy-Ives measure that would
place the unions under restraint of
the antitrust laws. that would
protect workers or management
against compulsory unionism, the
secondary boycott and organiza-
tional picketing to force people into
unions against their will. The
monopolistic practices at the bot
tom of the vicious wage-spiral are
left intact. Nor is there any re-
strictiOn placed on the use of un-
ion dues money and union man
power for political purposes.
On the contrary, this deceptive
measure would further strengthen
union power and weaken manage
ment by providing for the inclu-
sion of many first-line foremen
and supervisors in the same un-
ions as the men they are supposed
to supervise. Another destructive
Taft Hartley amendment contain
ed in the bill would legalize the
outlawed CLOSED shop" in the
building trades. Still another
amendment would permit workers
who have been ordered out on
strike, and who have been replac-
ed, to vote in representation cleo
tiOns. Thus. union that had re-
iected the terms offered by an en-
ployeT, and which, having called
a strike, represented none of those
actively at work, might still retain

and there is some reason to fear
it may be brought directly to the
House floor for action, by-passing
the House Labor Committee and
the hope of reforming it.
The Senate obviously passed the

ably did the right thing by with
drawing.
Nasser's next attempt to get
funds was by raising the tolls of
the Suez Canal. This again
brought the United States into the
picture in a way to get the i'll will
of all these countries England,
France and even Egypt. Readers
will remember how the canal was
blocked and everyone lost money.
ALTHOUGH our Administration
agreed to Nasser's increasing the
tolls, shipments declined so that
Egypt did not get any more real
money. Thereupon Nasser attempt
ed to form the "oil empire" de-
scribed above. The first nation to
fall in line was Syria, which has
since been followed by Iraq
OIL THE CAUSE OF THE
TROUBLE
Fer since the Crusades of CEN
turies ago, every war has been
claimed to have been started for
some great moral purpose All
nations in the Near East conflict
claim that they are fighting for
freedom. President Eisenhower in
sists that if the people of Iraq
had peacefully voted to depose their
king, no U. S. marines would be in
Lebanon today. To have, however,
a rebel band murder the king of
Iraq and his premier is contrary to
the Eisenhower Doctrine. Let me,
however, say that if there were no
oil in the Near East, there would
now be no marines in Lebanon!

CARE MAY PREVENT DROWNING

Vacation time is in full swing and, judg-
ing from the experience of other years, ap-
proximately $500 lives will be lost by acci-
dental drowning during these next few
months. This represents only about half of
the total number of people drowned each year,
but they are crowded into the three summer
months.
The annual death toll in the United States
from drowning grows larger each year. More
than 0ne-half of those dying in this manner
are young persons under twenty-four years
of age, the largest single age group of youths
between fifteen and nineteen years.
Every vacafionist should be careful this
summer. A period of rest and relaxation from
work is fine, and necessary, but carelessness
too far in the surf or to take chances in a
swift current means running the risk of
drowning. Swimmers should be extremely
careful
