FAR-AWAY CHARITIES

Every so often one is confronted by ideal
istic persons or organizations who are seek
ing funds for some far away charity.
The further away the need, or the more
remote the facts and circumstances, the more
idealistic the project sometimes becomes.
The perfect answer to many of these
pleas is that charity begins at home. There
is nothing more admirable in sending charity
eight thousand miles than in putting it to
use in this community, or in a nearby area
where the charity is actually seen.
There are many adults and children in the
United States, and in this community, who
are in need of charity, or some kind Of help,
in the way of food, clothing, education, or
otherwise. We suggest that those inclined to
send their money eight thousand miles think
twice before they start it on its journey.
Such money may wind up intelligently
utilized, sensibly distributed, and thriftily
handled. On the other hand, one really does
not know what happens to it at the other end,
who gets it, how much of it is drained away
along the route, or by unknown sources who
handle it at the other end of the line.

RISE OF THE SENATOR

One obvious fact about the Democratic
presidential race is that the four leading
candidates, Kennedy, Humphrey, Johnson
and Symington, are all senator's By con-
trast, in the last few elections Robert A. Taft
was the only senator in either party to be a
formidable aspirant to a presidential nomi-
nation.
This senatorial predominance is the long
delayed result of the 18th Amendment to the
Constitution, providing for the direct cleo
tion of senators. This has required senator
to prove his popularity by running success
fully
In the old days the only presidential hope
fuls who could prove their vote-getting pow
ers were governors. Therefore most Demo
cratic nominees from 1886 through 1856
were active or former governors. Since the
passage of the 18th Amendment in 1913 two
senator's, Harding and Truman (who stepped
up from the vice presidency have been NOM
mated for president.
Governors still have a following. How
ever, they have little opportunity to prove
their knowledge of foreign affairs, while
senators have much. On this account, Am
ericans are unconsciously beginning to re-
gard senatorial experience as requisite for
the presidency.

Seven high-speed magazine press
es, built by the Cottrell Company OF

Is million pounds of paper. These
units can whip paper through at
more than QuarteT-mile per min
ute and are capable of completing
more than 100000 catalogs a day.
Called double five-colors", they
can print five colors on both sides
Of a wide roll Of paper.
Over ], 200 miles of stitching wire

over 100000 feet high il stacked,
and 1t would take a three-mile-Iong
train, or 300 railroad cars to trans
port them to the 10000 retailers
who give S&H green stamps. Four
printing concerns have combined to
produce the huge order.

The White House
The White House is a three
story sandstone mansion in which
our presidents live while in Office.
Theodore Roosevelt named it the
White House because it was paint
ed white after the British burned
it in 1914.
The White House was the first
public building in Washington.
John Adams and his wife, Abagail,
were the first couple to live in the
White House. 1t is said that she
hung her washing in the famous
East Room because the building
was not completed. Thomas jeff
erson chose many of the flowers.
He planned it so there would be
flowers blooming most of the year.
We saw yellow tulips and pink
azaleas around the pools. Three
large elms exist from the days of
James Madison.
Each president leaves something
or adds something to the White
House. F. d. Roosevelt added
swimming pool.
The most familiar portico is the
semi-circular South Portico. The
private living quarters are on the
second floor.
The mansion is situated on Is
acres of park-like grounds. We did
not have time to go inside but we
drove around it. We could tell the
President was there because the
flag was up.

aIT WON'T HAPPEN no MED

In reading about accidents that kill other
people, we are apt to dismiss the matter with
a careless, 'It won't happen to me-"
Maybe not, but just the same, it might
be good idea to remember that the victim
of the fatal accident was just as confident
before the accident and as irrevocably dead
afterward.
We recall the case of a young woman
using health lamp to take a sun bath in
her bathtub. Somehow, there was a contact,
and she was shocked. Later she was found
dead
This illustrates the danger of using cleo
trical appliances in and around the bathtub.
There is danger that the cord will become
wet, thus charging the water, or that the in
dividual touching the cord will receive SER
ious shock
The moral is to be extremely careful how
you handle the cord that comes with your
electrical appliance. Be on guard when wa
ter is around. Do not handle electrical plugs,
etc., with wet hands or while standing on
wet floors or wet ground. Watch yourself
and you may live longer!

THE CARRIER MIDDLE


The House Appropriations Committee re-
Gently scuttled the plans of the Navy to build
a new 76,00O-tOn aircraft carrier. The story
of this carrier, and it's turbulent history, is
a melancholy one. To economic, the Budget
Bureau has insisted that the carrier be a
conventional-type.
That is, the carrier would not be atomic
powered, which would run the cost of the big
ship up considerably. Congress, on the other
hand, believes it would be foolish to build the
new carrier without making it a modern, ato-
mic-pOwered ship.
This battle has been in progress now for
two years, and was responsible for the delay
of the carriers construction program in 1859
Unless the House of representatives, or the
Senate, reverses the decision of the House
Appropriations Committee, then this year
could be the second year in which construc-
tion of the new carrier was postponed.
This is especially tragic since the ship
was given number one priority in the Navy's
shipbuilding program this year. Although
the Navy will not comment officially, it would
prefer to have an atomic-powered ship, quite
naturally, and does not necessarily agree
with the Budget Bureau. However, in the
interests of unity and teamwork, so-called,
the Navy has gone along with the econO-
MIXING program which required that, if it
had the carrier, it would be conventionally-
powered.
The tug-of-war between Congress and the
Administration last year reached the stage
where Congress vetoed the Administrations
proposed conventional carrier and appropri-
ated $35,000,000 to start more costly nu-
clear-powered carrier.
When this reached President Eisenhow-
er, he impounded the funds Congress had al
located for the more modern type carrier and
repeated his plea for conventionally-pow-
cred carrier.
Although the recent House Appropria-
tions Committee vote is subject to reversal,
and although the Senate could reverse the
House, or the full House could act different
ly from the House Appropriations Commit
tee, it is obvious that chances are good that
the Navy will be frustrated in its carrier
project again this year.

1t has become common knowledge that
the nations colleges and universities face
swiftly rising costs as they try to keep pace
with the tide of new students. Much has,
quite properly, been made of this problem.
Many suggestions for easing the pinch, not
excluding federal aid, have been advanced.
1t is pleasant to be able to note that there
also is brighter side to the matter. The
total of gifts from alumni has swelled to
unprecedented size, and there are indications
that it will continue to grow.
Within recent 12-month period, sur
vey shows, some LOO colleges and universi-
ties in this country and Canada received 1919
million dollars from alumni Of special sig
nificance is the fact that substantial frac-
tion of thisT more than As million dollars,
came in the form of regular annual contri-
buttons which can be expected to continue.
Corporate giving to institutions of higher
learning also is on the increase. Some firms
have begun programs of matching employees
gifts. All in all, the college financial picture
is improving. Not all institutions share
equally in alumni gifts, of course; in many
cases, the lack of sufficient money to keep
teaching facilities up to par is still severe.
But gifts from many thousands Of alumni
are doing much to ease the overall pressure.

TRADE RESTRICTIONS AGAIN


The crop export program of the United
States is endangered by new wave of trade
restrictions.
1t will be recalled that continuing wave
of tougher and tougher trade barriers helped
bring on the great depression in the 193O's
and played a part in bringing about totalitar-
ian governments and, later, war.
Six Western European nations have de-
veloped Common Market system, on politi-
cal grounds, and they are working together
to bring about advantages to the six member
nations. United States's officials, cleaning
the fine print of regulations of Common Mar
ket countries, are worried that American
farm exports are going to be a victim.
This is highly important to the United
States, to our budget-balancing efforts, and
highly important in relation to the success
of our farm program. For example, our ex-
ports for the year ending in June 1859, to
the six countries of the Common Market
area, were approximately $800,O00,000.
The export of these farm commodities
represents more than sale. The sale is good,
but the sale also saves the U. S. government
money, for these crops do not pile up in gov
ernment warehouses at home and they do not
have to be stored and handled.
Although it seems that cotton will be ex-
empt from the tougher restrictions, because
it enters duty-free, the tariff and quota re-
strictions will probably be damaging to
wheat exports and to the feed grains.
Too often in our history we have not
pressed other nations strongly enough, diplo-
matically and politically, to protect our
selves against trade barriers. 1t is true that
the United States was probably the most
guilty of all the nations in the 192O's and
eliminating with the Smoot-Hawlel Tariff
Act in 1905, but we have long since aban-
doned this premise and are now seeking to
expand trade. Our government and our dip
lomats face formidable job in protecting
our farm commodity export program.
The results could reflect directly on our
entire economy, and especially on the domes-
tic farm program.
