Work Or Contentment?

k'VERf once IN While, we hear somebody
comment upon the fact that somebody
worked himself to DEATH
AS a matter of fact few, if any, individ-
uals have ever worked themselves to death.
People get physically tired, not by the exer-
else or exertion involved, but rather through
lack OF interest in what they are doing.
An example in point is the case of the little
boy, too tired to hoe mothers garden, but
not too tired to play game of baseball.
Anyone interested in what he or she is
doing, forgets fatigue. Of course, the thing
can be overdone, but this is very rare.

But the reassuring fact is that

its president the other day that in

Sunset Time

Today as watched the sunset,
The sky was q SEQ Of gold;
Above its cleaning reaches,
Greet crimson pillows rolled
And dashed on an emerald shoreine
Where violet shadows lay
Like fantastic giant boulders
Loshed BY Q phantom spray.
And then as watched, the violet
Turned to o mouvish mist,
The emerald tints Of the shoreIine
BY peorIy haze was kissed
The crimson waves ceased rolling,
The sproy no longer flew;
The golden SEQ to the westward
Lay under Q sky Of blue
Then as the sunset faded
While twilight hush was deep,
The evening star cleaned out
To light the day to Sleep

Notes on Mr.. K.

N1k1TA Khrushchev is back in the Krem-
lin. and we can breath sigh of relief.
He travelled the breath of the United
States, was treated courteously, saw more
than he appeared to see. We believe he was
impressed.
-. Mr.. K. held poker face throughout
his visit. He changed moods to fit the oc-
casion. He was jovial vexed. bit angry at
times. His mood changed with the tenor of
the occasion.
H.. Mr.. K. was always conscious of his
job of selling Communism to the people of
the United States. He never missed chance
to extol the Russian system. He is deter
mined, if Intellectual salesman of his form
of government. but failed to impress many
Americans.
... His meeting with President Esen-
hover was pleasant evidently. His farewell
statement was optimistic. cordial and gra-
cious. His words at face value were logical,
but acts speak louder than words We doubt
that he fooled anyone.
.. Russian newspapermen reporting his

visit submitted their stories to the ever
present Russian authorities of propaganda,
and appeared in Russian newspapers al
most the same word for word. The press is
controlled in the communist government.
-. Now we will have the World Series
on TV, a great relief from the fish, isky,
sh, ETC." which have filled the air for the
past week. At one time we wondered if our
TV had not gone Russian, too.
... We wonder why Mr.. Nixon was side
tracked as official host and Henry Cabot
Lodge was substituted. Would the assign
ment have damaged Mr.. Nixon's presiden-
tial aspirations, or did the assignment help
place Lodge in the limelight as candi-
date?
Mr.. Eisenhower will not return the
visit until next Spring Could this give Mr..
K. an opportunity to show by acts rather
than words his seriousness of peaceful pur-
pose? Will it delay a crisis in the Cold
War?

be answered in the months ahead

Where are these remote Sed-

Who attends them? Why do
