JANUARY, 1860

January, the first month of the year,
gets its name from Latin, and the Latin word,
Januarius. The Latin word is derived from
the name of Roman god, Janus.
Anglo-Saxons, in the old days, did not
use the word January, but called the first
month Wulfmonath, because of the fact that
the wolves left the forests and entered the
villages in search of food during the month
of January.
Many men famous in the history of the
United States were born in January, in
cluding Franklin d. Roosevelt, the 32nd
President of the United States, James G..
Blaine, who was at one time the most popu-
lar political leader in the country, Robert E.
Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Also Daniel
Webster, famous orator, statesman and
lawyer, Benjamin Franklin, Edgar Allen Poe,
and Millard Fillmore, thirteenth President
of the United States.
In addition, many famous military ac-
tions have taken place in January. The
Battle of Princeton took place on January
3rd and the last battle of the War of 1872,
the Battle of New Orleans, was won by the
Americans on January 9Th, 1915.
January, then, has been an historic month
in this country, January, 1860, is the first Of
twelve months in year which will produce
a new President of the United States, and
which will probably produce prosperity for
most Americans

RELIEF IN NEW YORK

A story reported recently that practically
all of the tenants in one large apartment
building in New York were on relief. Most
of them were drawing unemployment COM
pensation, of course.
In 'melting-pot" cities like New York,
where immigrants are welcomed with open
arms, racial groups like the Puerto Ricans
flock to the bright lights. They come know
ing little or nothing about American history,
tradition or democracy, and congregate in
one section so rapidly that a diffusion of
them, or an Americanization, or education in
democracy, is practically impossible.
While they come in with promises of jobs,
in many cases, they are often not able to
keep the job, or do not wish to keep the job,
and soon they become big colony, which, in
turn, becomes a big problem.
No American wishes to depreciate the
system of immigration, as such. For, after
ALL all of us came from families who immi-
grated-mostly from Europe.
But there is no denying that immigration
should be carefully controlled, and-consider-
ing the population explosion taking place in
the world today-strictly limited Our coun-
try (and most of the other countries in the
world) is no longer capable of receiving un-
limited immigrants Moreover, undesirable
immigrants, or immigrants who come in such
numbers that they cannot be assimilated or
properly educated and indoctrinated in our
way of life, do not do us any good.
The statistics on crime show that king
sized problem is one of New York's worries
today, and that the lack of restraint in re-
ceiving immigrants is one of the causes of the
current problem.
In this question, number of do-gooders
and pink-cloud theorists go overheard on the
theory that everyone is equal and that there
should be no preference among persons or
limit to immigration. This is pure nonsense,
which would not be supported by Thomas
Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, or any of our
other great patriots.

The commissioner, in giving his
reports as they are now available,
has called attention to the fact that
while the tax income has risen
steadily and while the task of the
tax office has been constantly add
ed to by responsibility for new col
lections and procedures on new
taxes enacted, there has been moth
ing in the way of added appropria-

CONSERVING GAME

AS CuG pOpuldI1On Vi CulS COunITy III
creases, and more and more guns and fishing
rods are taken out into the woods and on
the streams and waters of the various sec
tions, an increasingly acute problem will be
the conservation of wildlife.
This problem has already reached the
acute stage in some areas, and with some
species of wildlife. The answer to the threat
of game extinction seems to lie in several
fields. One of the remedies to this eventual
outcome lies in shorter hunting and fishing
seasons.
Game conservation offices, both state and
federal, have already responded to the threat
of extinction in some fields by shortening
seasons, lowering the bag and catch limits
and Tightening up enforcement. But the
problem is not yet solved.
In some areas, forward-looking programs
have begun. But the major factor involved
in this problem is the human factor-the
mass psychology of the hunters and fisher
men, and their attitude toward bag limits,
seasons, etc.
Too many old-time hunters have little
regard for the limits, and laugh about-limit
totals. Many a covey of birds has been killed
down so greedily one season that none are
around the next. If only three or four birds
had been left, possibly even two, a covey
would be found the following season. Until
this realization, and the general realization
that conservation habits must be practiced
by all sportsmen, the decreasing supply of
wildlife will remain an acute problem. The
average hunter is the only person who can
solve it.

MADE YOUR 1860 RESOLUTIONS?

There was a time, not many years ago,
when the people gave some thought to the
resolutions that they would adopt, for the
New Year. Unfortunately, in this modern
age of hurry, worry and hustle the habit has
become somewhat rare, but, nevertheless,
there is much to be gained by following the
age-old custom of our ancestors.
1t always pays man, or a woman, to
take stock of themselves. Frankly, honestly
and privately look yourself over, make an
inventory Nof your assets and liabilities in
connection with world of other people.
We know there are blase individuals who
poke fun at all those who seek to improve
themselves. There are likewise many people
who worship money above all other accom-
plishments and therefore base their judg
ment of everything upon the basis of ma
terial wealth.
Religion teaches us that life is more than
material possessions and that men and wo-
men, who expect to live after death, must
base their faith upon spiritual achievements.
1t is virtually impossible to make much
progress in this direction unless one is
willing to establish, deliberately and intelli-
gently, a set of values for existence.

HoIIeck Sees Nixon
Defeating Stevenson

House Minority Leader Hal

by the Republican presidential
choice, Richard M. Nixon.
Mr.. Halleck also said he be-

"a good fighting chance Of car
rying the House Of Representa-
tives" in the November elec-
tions.
In a speech to the District
Republican State Committee,
Mr.. Halleck, who has said he
would like to get the G. o. P
nomination for vice president
declared that the Eisenhower
administration has written "a
record of accom-
plishment."
Our job is to get this story
across" Mr.. Halleck said.
Urging that the Republicans
avoid splitting into factions, he
said, I'VE have got to quit
choppinE up one another and
start fighting the enemy"

tuals rather than a formal
exchange" of athletes and
musicians is the proper goal
of the West, the report says.
The Senators who will study
this report will be giving
some serious thought to other
aspects of peaceful coexist-
ence" as well. Disarmament
and the peace drive, for >ex-
ample, call for extreme eau
tiousness on the Vests part,
lest we wake up one day to
find ourselves in a "disarmed"
world (as far as conventional
weapons are concerned) with
the Soviet Union armed to
the teeth with missiles and
launching sites.
Here again Mr.. Khrushchev
has succeeded in identifying
the Communist Party and the
Soviet dictatorship of that
party with the peoples aspira-
tionS and yearnings for peace.
BY implication, even more
than by making the open
accusations. the Western
powers, the "imperialists" and
capitalist societies become
the "warmongers" of the
world. Thus, in a very sig
nif1cant field of human ,rela-
tions, the Communist dicta-
torship wins another impor-
tant battle in the struggle
for mems minds.
It is high time that the
policymakers and diplomats
Of the free world look behind
the smiles on the Kremlin's
face and the assurances of
peaceful competition pouring
from Moscow's propaganda
mill. There will be a lot of
dangerous and difficult nego-
tiating before the West can
breathe freely in knowing that
reliable and dependable prog
ress toward a lasting peace
has been achieved.

success, we must also remem-
Der that the Communist goal
Of world domination has not
