The Il. s. And Cuba

Senator Wayne Morse, Oregon Democra. lin
recent years., has been sounding off almost daily
it seems to us-on Cuban affairs OF course every
American is disturbed about the executions in Cuba,
and defending them is not the point of this editorial
There is right way, and a wrong way, to con-
duct relations with countries the south of US,
and for U. S. Senators to go teevisioh with solu
tions to the Cuban problem. and all sorts of forty
nnecents advice to Cuban rebel leader Fide Castro,
is not the best approach The best approach is the
handling of foreign policy through the State De-
parment and official representations of our En-
bassy in Havana to the Cuban government

fences cross open bitches, free
swinging water gates are needed
so that trash will not accumulate
and clog the ditch.
One way that livestock farmers
may take advantage of D ditch for
watering stock is to build q ramp
to a dug out portion salong the
ditch. A tractor manure loader can
do the job at the proper time.
Another innovation which seems
practical to Tssac Thomas OF Mary
del, is cow operated field pump
which can draw water from
stream or well. The cows operate
the pump by pressing their noses
into a drinking cup when a lever
permits a pumping action. The
machines are locally available and
reasonably priced.
Good Drainage systems and main
tenance depend on good neigbhorly
cooperative effort and understand

Clear bitches
For Drainage

drainage ditch will block water for
more than 1000 feet. Small block
ages and dams can have serious
effect on the efficiency of ditch
because of the fat grades. These
bitches are not able to wash them
selves out with such fiat grades
and the desperately need hand
cleaning.
"Time spent in cleaning trash
and blockages out Of your bitches,
especially those in the woods, can
be very rewarding'', says Frank
HoutmaG, of Kenton. He is very
happySs 60 tell how he saved con-
struction costs and crop loss SIM
ply by cleaning out the outlet ditch
through his woods. Frank says he
had no idea how those little dams
and blockages added up TO where
they were the sole cause of bis

Drainage bitches are not expen-
sive for the benefits received. How
ever, they can be very costly, IL not
maintained properly For instance.
IL a drainage system gets IN bad
condition, the dollar damage TO
land and crops from one hard rain
NAV be greater than the cost OF
building the entire system.
Livestock should be kept from
grazing ditch banks after heavy
storms and during the wet season

SPEAKING or DAYS

On every day of the year there arg MIS-
torical events which should be remembered.
In this connection, the last days of January
and the first days of February are no ex-
ception.
For example ON January 29th we recall
that William Mckinley was born in Niles,
Ohio, January 25th, 1843 This day is also
Kansas Day, Kansas having been admitted
to the Union as state by an act approved
January29th 1861 In addition the day is
remembered as the birthday anniversary of
Emanuel Swedenborg, who was born in
Stockholm January 18th, 1888.
1t is also remembered as the anniversary
of the birth of Thomas Paine, who was born
at Thetford, England, January 29tf, 1887.
The Both is Franklin Roosevelts birthday,
Roosevelt having been born January 30th,
1882 at Hyde Park New York. In Virginia
the Both is remembered as the anniversary
of the beheading of Charles |, and that date
formerly was day of fasting in his remen-
brance
The 31st is remembered as the birthday
anniversary of James G. Blaine, who was
born at Brownsville, Pennsylvania, on Jam
uary 31st, 1880. February 1st is the first
day of the second month, at the end of which
one-twelfth of the year will have passed.
The next day, February End, is Grounding,
or Candlemas. If the grounding sees his
shadow, six more weeks of cold weather is
supposed to be due

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOY SCOUTS!

The Boy Scout movement has reached
ripe middle age Boy Scout Week. which will
be observed during the February 7-13th per-
iod, will mark its 49ih anniversary.
But the passage of time has certainly not
dimmed Scouting's vigor 1t is looking ahead
to ever-greater achievements, to an ever
expanding influence And in this age, with
Juvenile delinquencylramp the movement
deserves the active support OF every decent
and responsible citizen
In its nearly half-century Of existence, the
organization has touched the lives of more
than 28,500,000 Americans. Today there are
more than 4,780,000 boys and leaders pay
ing the "game of Scouting" This WORK out
to one of every four boys in the to J5-year
old groups, and the hope is that this pro-
portion will be materially increased.
DR.. Arthur A. Schuck, Chief Scout Ex-
eciitiye, puts it this way: Looking ahead for
the next five years we must recognize that
never has it been so important or imperative
that the youth of our nation be trained to
high idealism, acquired through unselfish
service, by self-reliance, and cooperative
effort"
The ideals<and objectives of Scouting
have remained unchanged since the move
ment's birth. But changes have been made
in organization methods and operating tech
niques in order to meet the needs of the time.
AT the moment, if Scouting is to be brought
to more of the boys who want it, there must
be more trained eaders and mors facilities
including camps. Meeting Sais challenge
should be regarded As plessure and priv
ilege.
Meanwhile Happy Birthday, Boy
Scouts

HIGH TIME


Some time ago Postmaster General Sum-
merfield asked permission of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to Increase parcel
post rates, by about IL per cent.
A business service, in fOrecaSting COM
ing events here and abroad, says: Parcel
post rate will be increased"
About the best comment that can be
made on that is: "It's high timer
Parcel post was authorized by Congress-
back in 1918, as supplementary service to
the private package carriers. 1t was speci-
fically stipulated that it was not to supplant
these carriers, or to unfairly compete with
them
1t was also stipulated that parcel post
charges were to fully and fairly reflect the
costs to the Post Office Department of pro-
viding the service
These stipulations have constantly been
violated
Direct losses attributable to parcel post
losses which can only be made up by the
general taxpayers - have run far past the
billion point. Indirect losses have added
heavily to the taxpayer-borne deficit. And
it would be hard to find better example of
unfair competition with private enterprise,
which must pay taxes, and meet every cost
of operation, direct and indirect, out of
pocket
Let parcel post users pay for what they
get-just as they pay for what they get
when they patronize any private business.
What could be fairer?
