Dear Percy,

think it is fair to say that
the voters Of Minneapolis are go

liberal and conservative govern
ment between the Democratic
Farmer-Labor party and the Re-
publican party.
You may have heard it said on
the part of a conservative that he
is conservative on the part of
money but that he is liberal in
terms of human values. When he
says this, he is right . and this
Is his trouble. A person ought to be
conservative in human values; he
ought to be very jealous in pro-
tecting the fundamental civil
rights and liberties of the people
He ought to be very reluctant to
restrict, or toy with, the very
basic liberties and rights of the
citizens.
But when it comes to money
this is a time when a man ought
to be liberal. This was the very
essence Of many of the big in
dustrialists who used their mon
in creative and imaginative ways
And this is the way it ought Il
be in government. The govern
ment ought to be willing to use it:
taxing and spending authority tc

to do it swiftly when the needs
arise.

way campaigns are conducted

he exposes his grasp Of the prob

those he would represent.
So in politics, those who actual

candidates, and come to know the
problems Of government too. And
they are able to make their choices
and to be more effective citizens
because they really understand the
differences between those seeking

their personal interests.
Mrs. Lillian Casey, one of
three teachers on the project,
contrasted her experience with
that of teaching an ordinary

Sometimes they get a little
restless, but not very often.
More often than not. they do
not want to go home at the end

tary supervisor who is in charge
of the pilot course, explains its
purpose like this:
zone aim is to give the chill

"At the same time, we hope
to help them approach the sub
ject with a creative attitude, so
that ultimately they will be
ready for research and other
fields which demand creativ-
ity."
A glance at the course guide
is enough to reveal that this,
indeed, is not ordinary elemen'

covered, for example, include
such relatively esOteric matters
as structure of numerical sys'

FTC Accuses
Sofewoy on
Breed Claims

The Federal Trade Commits

Stores, Inc. Of making false
weight-control claims for its
Slender Way" bread. The
supermarket chain Immediately
declared. 1t had never received
evidence of anyone being mis-
led either from customers or
from the public.
The company has 80 days to
file a formal answer to the
complaint with the commission.
The commission said: Con-
trary to Sideways radio. tele-
vision. and newspaper adver-
tisements. the FTC's complaint
alleges .Slender-Way' bread is
not a low calorie food, does not
have less calories than ordinary
bread, and eating it will neither
cause weight reduction nor
prevent its gain"
The commission added "the
band name itself similarly mis-
leads the public" in quoting
the official complaint.
Safeway, in a statement de-
clared: 'Slender-Way' has
been an established brand OF
bread for eight years. In those
years, this bread has been dis
tributed under full and infor-
NATIVE labelling and we have
never received evidence OF any
one being misled either from
customers or from the public
