THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

who had both hands occupied
was warned of his danger,
and Immediately.
That is why even today,
when we have both hands
busy, the nose begins to itch.
The itching nose demands
that it be scratched, and in
being scratched one hand is
let go of whatever it has
been holding.
In nature, one hand is
better than none.
On the sidewalk, a broken
shoestring is better than
none, too.
When that feeling of a
broken lace strikes, it is a
good thing to hobble along to
a bench or chair, and to try
to remedy the thing.
This is best done by tying
the two ends together, but if
you have butter fingers, as
Temp Jones has, this is an
other of those things easier
said than done.
Wherefore, the making of
simple knots ought to be a
part of every child's educa-
ton, just as knowledge Of
stocks and bonds should be.
But is either?
No, neither, and so we can
not tie knots, or make a for
tune easily, as stock brokers
do. 1t has always seemed to
Templeton Jones that stock
brokers are the only sensible
men in our economy, since
they go right after what
they want directly and do not
bother around with offering
services of some sort in ex-
change for money. They
want money, they get money;
the rest of us perform some
thing or other, according to
our talent, that can be
exchanged for money. 1t
seems a very wasteful way Of
getting money. The next
time, Jones says he is going
to be educated to be a stock
broker from the age of 5
years onward.
Then he won't have to give
a quasi-Service to humanity
in exchange for a few dol
lars. He will be handling the
dollars, and if a few stick.
so much the better. The
honest stockbroker goes right
after money, and money is his
reward, as it is of all men,
only the broker does not
have to waste time about it.
Jones believes stockholders
even know how to tie shoe
strings better than common
men.

UphoIds McGM

In dissenting against Pres
ident EiSenhower's forthcom-
ing visit to Spain, Ralph
McGill was justified and
correct. Dictator Franco up
holds a social atmosphere
that is 100 per cent anti
American and can in no way
be correlated to our version
OF freedom. Spain is, for the
most part. a backward, pow
erty stricken and destitute
country encompassing a con-
trolled press that has long
condoned religiously insti-
gated atrocities and persecu-
tions against the minority
Protestant clergy attempting
to operate there. Former
President Truman went so
far as to take this problem
up directly with the Vatican,
obviously to no avail.
Much of McGill's writings
seem designed to frighten his
readers and point up the real
d dangers confronting this
country l think his version
OF patriotism is based on this
particular objective, and if
this assumption is correct he
would be one of the few with
sufficient "guts" to advocate
a procedure that must be
expanded if our way of life
is to be saved. Like Admiral
Rickover. he is a hereto
against convenient thinking
OF the type used by many of
our politicians to perpetuate
themselves in Office. Collec-
lively, the American people
are still spending their moral
force in mItiny against the
clear-cut demands upon their
intelligence.

LAMONT STREET

Dear Sir:
"One of the most embar-
RAISING of ordinary happen
ings came my way the other
day, and I still rankle.
"As I was walking along
the street, my shoeString
broke.
THAT was all, but it was
enough.
IT read during the war that
ranking prisoners were not
i'll treated, but all of them
in German hands had their
shoe strings taken away from
them.
$50 knew at last just how
helpless those prisoners must
have felt.
"A shoe string is a small
thing, but very important.
"I could scarcely hobble.
Suddenly I wondered why
people had been willing to
give up button shoes.
who remembers them?
GAS I recall, all children's
shoes we're buttoned, and
some of the women's.

write about shoestrings and
other trivia so important in
the daily life.

Templeton Jones pet lack
is a handkerchief.
The moment he discovers
he does not have one, his nose
starts to run.
Call it psychic if you want
to.
1t is much the same as
having two hands busy: then
the nose begins to itch.
This is a puzzler.
The nose does not itch at
all-but suddenly it does, and
the question is why?
1t must be something that
comes down from the child
hood Of the race. In those
days it was essential for a
man to have both hands free
to defend himself. Not only
were there strange wild ami
mails, but even stranger tribes
of people.
A mans strong right arm,
and equally his strong left
arm, were essential to ward
off a sudden attack from
bushes, behind a tree, or
around the corner of the
cave.
Nature seems to have been
ever-thoughtful in such mat
ters.
She saw to it that the man

them achieve both at the
same time"
He continued: "If one
merely consults the newspa-
per headlines, he is apt to
conclude thai t doomsdays
have descended upon the
people of the South-that
decades Of painful progress
have been swept away, re-
turning us to the bitterness
and blindness which set the
South aflame a century ago.
But shrouded behind these
dismaying headlines is the
story of Southern progress.
Today, our region is coming
out Of the blind alley in
which it was trapped for so
long.
1T is this story, so often
unseen, which demands that
all of us put aside the Wild
ow's veil and roll up our
sleeves and meet our oppor-
tunities. I do not believe that
the South is in any way a
land that is slipping back
into the past, afraid Of
change and new ideas, as so
many critics portray it."
Lists Advantages
Gov. Collins pointed out
that although the South
comprises only one-fourth of
the land area of the 48
contiguous States, it has
one-third of the good farm
land, and two-thirds of all
the land with 40 inches or
more of rainfall. He pointed
out the South has become a
leader in scientific agricul-
ture and with its fine pas
lures is rivaling the West in
production of fine cattle.
The South's forests are being
restored, and trees are har-
vested as crops.
More than ten thousand
manufacturing and process
ing concerns in the South
base their operations on this
timber and employ half-a-
million workers. The South
ern climate is attracting more
and more business and in
dustry because of heat and
humidity. The South has the
Nations greatest supply of
fresh water, and business is
constantly springing up on
Southern waters. Further,
with only one-fourth of the
country's land area, the
South produces approx
mately one-half of its min
erals.
Gov. Collins said nuclear
energy stands in the wings,
waiting to take the center Of
the stage as the power source
for tomorrow's Southern in
dustry. Already the region
has made strides in that di-
rection. Also. great strides
have been made in the mat
ter of education, in more
schools and teachers and
better standards. All this is
the picture Of the new South.
But Gov. Collins said in
conclusion that the South
still has a long way to CO."
and for that reason its
people should recognize the
need for aid to the under
developed areas Of the world,
which have so far to go. And
the South, as well as the rest
of the world, cannot develop
until there is a peaceful
world.
The need for great leader
ship in this country at a
serious time. looking to such
a peace, was the main theme
of the Florida Governor,
rather than mere politics.

THE POLITICAL MILL
New South Contributes to Peace
By GOULD LINCOLN

An outstanding Governor
Of the up-and-coming new
South-new educationally, in
dustrially and agriculturally
Leroy Collins of Florida,
in an address to the Southern
Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools in Louis
vile recently said:
Some politicians in the
North and West contend the
South is a region of America
incapable Of producing ma
tional leadership "a shibbo-
leth perhaps calculated to
lessen their competition) and
there are even some South
erners who parrot the same
fallacy. I say it is high time
we rid ourselves of this polit-
ical inferiority complex. After
all, where was the Republic
founded? So much of it came
from the minds of Washing
ton, Jefferson and Patrick
Henry. The young Republic
was nourished by the philos-
ophies of Madison and Mon
roe and Jackson. These were
the great leaders of the ex-
pertinent in democracy which
has literally reshaped the
world. And every one of these
were men of the South. In
those days &. the Nation was
eager to accept fine leader
ship without regard to geo.
graphic consideration. I be-
lieve the Nation is just as
eager today, despite all of the
sage political forecasts that
only men from this State or
that region can win national
affection and provide leader
ship of our country"
Democratic National Chair
man Paul M. Butler of Indi-
ana and Gov. Pat Brown of
California take notice, as well
as some of the other party
leaders who discount the pos
sibility of a President from
the South-the South, which
is predominantly Democratic
and kept the Democratic
Party alive in its weakest
days. The Republicans could
scarcely be expected at this
juncture to pick a Southern
candidate for President. They
may later, when a two-party
system prevails in that Sec
ton. Many Southern Demo-
Gratis today believe in princi-
pies of government more in
accord with those of Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Dwight
D. Eisenhower than those
principles advocated by the
so-called New Deal and Fair
Deal Democrats of the North
Cites SOuth's Progress
Gov. Collins, in his address
detailed the tremendous
strides the South has made
since the turn of the century
And in this progress he finds
hope for the cause of world
peace and improvement of the
underdeveloped countries.
These countries, he insisted,
favor democracy and free
dom, but they require aid if
they are not to be delivered
over to Communist Russia
and Communist China in a
scramble for bread and i'm
proved living conditions
which their own resources
cannot yet provide. Yet, these
countries must be kept free
and democratic If the world
is to have peace.
The Florida Governor
views this as the greatest
problem before us today
These countries" he said
should not have to choose
between democracy and de-
velopment. We can help

LEWE..S

The Lewes Board of Education
and faculty of the Lewes Special
School District have expressed
their grave concern" about House
Bill No. 241 in the General As
sembly, "and other bills that would
reduce educational services at the
state and local levels"
A resolution to this effect, to be
sent to the Joint Finance Commit
tee of the 1859 Assembly and to
Representatives in the Lewes
School District, was approved at
the final meeting of the PTA Ex-
ecutive Committee.
The resolution cites: 1--WE are
distressed that HB 271 reduces the
staff of the State Department of
Public instruction, which renders
us valuable service. 1t is certain
that any reduction of their staff
would result in a decrease in es-
sential services to our school dis
trict. We feel the staff should be
increased in several areas so that
their effectiveness could be even
greater.
However, we are relieved by the
introduction of HB 296 and HA 2,
which would restore funds for
growing school districts, since this
is the time of the year when we are
seeking new teachers for Septem-
ber." The PTA and school board
asks support of this Legislation. "as
it is essential to the well-being of
our educational system"
The executive committee with
the new PTA president, Samuel
NJ. Sloan, in the chair, planned
for next years activities. The
treasurer's report showed bal
ance of over 5000 after paying all
the end-of-the-year expenses, and
the contribution of 5000 toward a
foreign exchange student next
year, and 500 for new pictures for
the school library.
The PTA's major Embarrassing
project, the annual "Jamboree" in
the fall, was discussed by the
chairman, Stephen G. Vaughn.
This was the last regular meet
ing of the 195S-59 school year. The
executive committee will next meet
in September prior to the regular
PTA meeting to be held October, 5.

Zoning Decision

The Fairfax County Plan
ming Commission last night de-
ferred q decision on proposed
coming for industrial develop
lment on an 80-acre area east
of Shirley highway and south
of Franconia road after hear
ing protests from 80 area resi-
dents.
In a related matter, the
commission deferred action on
an application to operate a
gravel pit on a 35-acre tract
in the same area, south Of
Franconia road and east Of
Hooe's road. The commission
asked for staff reports in 80
days.
Vernon Lynch, Springfield
real estate man, submitted the
application for the gravel pit,
contending the area was not
suitable for residential devel-
opment. He said drainage and
sewage facilities were made
quate for home building.
Residents protested that the
proposed industrial coming was
not in keeping with residential
construction now going on in
the area.
