 IS THIS YOUR DAY
 by Chaplain Francis Fay -*.~. "The first of April some do say Is set apart for All Fools Day. But why the people call it so '|~2 Nor I, nor they themselves do know"
 (Poor Richards Almanac)
 There has been a lot of prouress since the days of Ben Franklin, but the reason l April is set aside for All Fools Day is still not defini tely known. Most historians think that the origin is connected wi tn the adoption of Gregorian Caldndar. Prior to 1864 when the new calendar was adopted in France April was New Years Day. The French, even then a nation whi oh app- reciated good time, ce1ebra ted for more than a week from March 2l to April l. Some of them were so pleased wi tn the celebration that they refused to recognize any necessity for change when the new calendar came into effect they continued to celebrate their ten day New Year.
 ...- To show their scorn (and roseih1,.
The Adak sun., 1961-04-10

By the time the original poissons had died off, Frenchmen were in the habit of ridiculing someone on April l, so they picked on one another. Such a delightful custom was bound to spread. By the 18th century it was common in the English-speaking countries.
 Since it occurred in the saddest part of Holy Week this year, April Fools Day was fizzle. It did not go unmissed. Even this day wi tn it's folly has a religious lesson and conn., . otation.
 Biblically the worst thing a person Can be is fool. It was consi dered so terrible that Christ warned anyone who in earnest called someone a fool that he was in danger of Hell-fire. Paul indicated that one of the great hardships of the early Chris istians wa that they were considered fools. That hardship was a blessing, because they were fools for the sake of Christ. Psalm l4 identi fies the fool as one who says in his heart, There is no God."
 If thereis anyone on Adals who fails to pray daily to thank God for His p1enitude of blessings; if there is one who does not cherish Gods law as the ideal of his life; if there is anyone who prefers sleep to the worship of God, he is saying in effect, There is no God." As far as the Bible is con- cerned, as far as any thinking is con- cerned, as far as am concerned thatA man is fool.
 Belatedly, let us all wish him happy feast day.

Insects Costing
Kent Farmers
Many Thousands

Insects are inflicting heavy
casualties on stored grain and
costing Kent county farmers
thousands of dollars every year,
says George Vapaa, county ag-
ricultural agent.
Insects such as the granary
weevil and the Angoumois grain
moth spend much of their life
cycles feeding inside the grain
kernel. The saw-toothted grain
beetle, red flour beetle and In
dian meal moth feed on the
outside of the kernels.
With insects working on the
inside and outside, there's apt
to be little left for the produc-
er unless he does something
obout it, Mr.. Vapaa warns.
Even without a lot of appar-
ent damage, the presence of in
sects in grain is considered as
contamination or filth and is
enough to remove it from inter-
state shipment.
Insect-infested wheat in stor-
age develops "hot spots" This
means grain damaging insects
are active.
An area that shows heating
now should be fumigated, the
agent says. A small investment
on a proper fumigation job now
will return a big profit when the
grain is stored.
MIR. Vapaa suggests you stop
by the Kent county extension
office on the second floor of the
Dover postoff1ce for complete
information about controlling
stored grain insects.

Agent Sees No
Big Increase in
Hog Production
by w. T. McAllister

Don't look for a big increase
in hog production and a sharp
drop in prices during 1862.
1t would be dangerous to pre-
dict that prices for 1862 will
be as high as those for 1861,
but all indications point to fav-
orable and steady prices.
Unusually strong prices over
the past 20 months have led a
lot of folks to predict a big
build-up in swine numbers. This
may not happen for these sea-
sons. Many farmers have re-
duced their total corn produc-
ton and are willing to sell what
they do raise to the Govern
ment for $l.20 per bushel; a lot
of producers have reached their
capacity to raise hogs without
making some drastic changes in
their operation. Also it is well
to note that the big increases
in production in 1855 and 1859
came after prices were above
the 20 dollar mark for several
months.
Farmers across the country
indicate they plan to market six
percent more hogs next spring
than in the spring of 1861. The
summer outlook is for a five
percent increase over last sum-
mer.
These are small increases
compared with other years. A
decrease in broiler production
and increased consumer buying
may largely offset this.
Don't count your "porkers"
before they get to market, but
it looks like another good year
for swine producers.

Astronouts' Friend

Professor James A. Van Allen, dis
coverer of the cosmic radiation belts
which bear his name, is to receive
another well-merited award. But his
greatest satisfaction probably comes
from the knowledge that his researches
into the radiation hazards of space
travel will result in safer trips for sky
explorers of the future. DR.. Van Allen
is in truth the astronauts' friend.
His latest award is the Elliott Cres-
son Gold Medal of the Franklin In
Stitute of Philadelphia, to be formally
presented to him next month The
medal is in recognition of his discovery
that huge doughnut-like belts of dan
gerous coSmic particles surround the
earth, apparently held in place by the
earth'S magnetism. He first detected
these belts with the aid of Explorer 1,
which was equipped with instruments he
devised for the purpose of checking on
radiation in space. Subsequent satellites
of the Explorer series have produced
data confirming the discovery and
adding information about the size and
nature of the bands.
1t is worth noting that the Wash
ington Academy of Sciences gave its
1948 citation to DR.. Van Allen, then
doing research here at the Applied
Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins
University, for his work in nuclear
physics and coSmic rays" 1t was just
ten years later that he announced for
the first time the presence of the cosmic
belts that pose threat to all explorers
of outer space. More is being learned
about the Van Allen belts with every
spatial probe-and the more knowledge
man has of their characteristics, the
better able he should be to protect him
self against them in his ventures toward
the stars.

Wanted: UGF Volunteers

More than the willingness Of the
public to contribute money is required
to insure the success of the forthcoming
United GiverS Fund drive for $7.8
million. A strong, enthusiastic campaign
organization is essential, as Postmaster
General Day stressed at rally of Gov
eminent Unit workers. That is why a
special effort is being made to recruit
volunteers for this and the other units.
The ability of the UGF to reach it's
target, the largest ever set for such a
drive, will depend to a great degree on
the thoroughness of the canvaSsing.
The citizen who volunteers to solicit
his associates or neighbors for the
single-package campaign next month
is rendering highly important service
not only to the charity, welfare and
health agencies of UGF and their bene-
ficiaries, but to the community as a
whole. He deserves the support and the
encouragement of his fellow citizens.

'MuzzIinq' the Military

The Senate Armed Services Com
mittee, urged on by Senator Thurmond
of South Carolina, has voted to study
and appraiSe" Pentagon policies on cold
war propaganda. We think the COM
mittee acted wisely and with ample
justification.
It has never been our belief that
military officers should be permitted to
go around the country making speeches
on foreign policy, and certainly not
speeches which cut across the lines of
established foreign policy. Senator
Thurmond has produced some evidence,
however, that censorship in the Penta-
gon has been carried to unreasonable
and undesirable lengths, and this, if it
is fact, is an appropriate matter for
study by the Armed Services Committee
A case in point is the disciplining
of two officers by the Air Force for
showing the film Operation Abolition"
at meeting of Reserve officers.
Strictly speaking, the attitude of the
Defense Department toward this film
falls more into the category of suppress
sion than censorship. This is not to say
that the film literally has been sup
pressed or that there has been an out
right ban on its exhibition to troops.
But it is our belief that the Pentagon
has tried to discourage the showing of
the film, and any officer who exhibits
it in the future will have to be bold
or rash man, or both. For he is likely
to find that he has put his military
career in jeopardy.
Operation Abolition" depicts an
allegedly Communist inspired riot in
San Francisco against the House I'm
American Activities Committee. It is,
of course, controversial film-contro-
verSial at least in the sense that its
liberal groups. 1t is also fact, however,
that the film follows closely both the
substance and conclusions of report
issued by FBI Director Hoover on the
San Francisco riots. The essential FBI
conclusion was that the Communists
demonstrated In San Francisco that
they are fully capable of infiltrating
and manipulating student and other
groups. The film takes much the same
line.
1t may be, of course, that the Penta-
gon has devised or will devise better
means of educating the armed forces
with respect to the Communist threat.
But the explanations which have been
offered for the disciplining of the two
officers and the restrictions which have
been put upon the use of the film are,
in our judgment, not very convincing.
The Senate committee, in the course of
its study and appraisal, should take
close look at this as well as other aspects
of the Pentagon's current approach to
this difficult and delicate cold war
problem.

Pushbutton Era

Hasn't your letter-writer
who points to our semi
Socialist" system as being re-
Sponsible for increased per

nation? Doesn't he know
that one man and some push
buttons with power behind
them can do the work 30
men did in 1910?
I'm afraid the socialistic
schemes of the politicians
can't steal the credit from
the scientists for increasing
the per capita production.
On the contrary, this politi-
cal business of taking care
Of every individual, whether
he works or gold bricks, has

producers!
1t is appalling to note,
wherever one goes-in office
or factory-the utter indif-
ference of the individual to
his responsibilities to his fell
low man and to his employer.
Even Diogenes would fail, as
the pushbuttons hum merrily
along doing the guys work
for him and melting paeans
of praise from the theological
theorists for his increased
output.
We've done very badly I'M

Shades of Dixon-Yotes

The nomination of Fowler Hamilton
to administer our foreign aid program
puts the finishing touch on deplorable
but not untypical political squabble in
this Nations Capital.
Mr.. Hamilton, a prominent New
York lawyer, will succeed Henry R.
LabouiSSe in job with different name
and somewhat enlarged scope. Mr..
Labouisse is respected in Washington
and was considered to have done we'll in
his post. Just why he was passed over
for the new assignment is far from clear.
The fact is, however, that the Presi-
dent had intended to name George D.
Woods as chief of the new Agency for
International Development. But the
President had failed to give adequate
weight to the unreconstructed emotion
alistS in the Senate.
Mr.. Woods is chairman of the First
Boston Corporation, which figured in
the Dixon-Yates controversy of 1954-55.
There was nothing in this which re-
Elected on his integrity and certainly no
one questions his ability. That he would
have given the foreign aid program the
quality of competent direction it needs
cannot be doubted. But this, in the
minds of certain Democratic Senators
who never forget and seldom forgive,
was not enough. Mr.. Woods had had
connection with the DiXon-YateS matter,
and that was enough to condemn him
in their eyes. So the plan to nominate
him was quietly abandoned, repeatedly
at Mr.. Woods request.
The nomination requires Senate
confirmation, and one can understand
why the President would want to avoid

Rude Commercials

1 watch TV less than half
a dozen times a year for my
own reasons which are ir-
relevant at this point.
On Sunday, however, l did
not want to miss Ambassador
Stevenson in his Meet the
Press" interview and now I
have a question:
Why don't ordinary good
manners and basic politeness
apply for TV? Why does a
distinguished man like Mr..
Stevenson or any other man
for that matter have to be
interrupted in the middle of
a sentence or almost in the
middle of a word when the
show" is over? Wouldn't it
be possible to let a guest,
who appears for an inter-
view, finish what he has to
say, which would only be a
matter of seconds anyway?
The program could be cut
off when the time runs out
and the announcer could ex-
plain with a few words of
apology to the listeners why
this had to be done. This
would spare Mr.. Stevenson
or any other guest the ex-
cruciating feeling that he
was stopped in the middle of
his last sentence for an i'm
portant message to tn e
world" about dogbiScuits or
shaving cream. And last not
least it would make the TV
station a more gallant host.

Our long parliament, an
American Congress steadily
and soberly in session since
last Jan. 8, is now drawing
to its close in what may be
a gathering twilight for the
parliament of the world, the
United Nations.
Traditionally, the eyes Of
any American President are
fixed, in times of congress
Sional leave-taking such as
this, upon the Capitol. It is
a symbol usually, both of
his achievements and his
Illustrations. 1t is, usually,
the place where he is concen-
trating all his strength to
try, at the 18th hour, to
wrest yet one more legisla-
tive action from the tired
men on Capitol Hill.
This time, however, the
American President, John F.
Kennedy, centers all his ur-
gent activity, not upon per-
Suading Congress to pass just
one more bill, but rather up
on an effort to save the life
of the congress on this
earth, the United Nations. 1t
is not a final appeal to the
membership of the Senate
and House he now prepares.
It is. instead. an appeal to
the membership - and par
ticularly the small and new
ly independent nations of
Asia and Africa of the
United Nations. What he is
asking them to do is to rise
above the hatreds of the long
past, to forget long-dead
grievances against Western
powers which once held them
as colonies. What he is ask
ing them to do is not to let
memories of ancient yester-
days blind them to the peril
Gus realities of today - not.
in short. to join or to con-
done the resumed campaign
of the Soviet Union to de-
stroy the United Nations.

Educating the Masses

The letter High Cost of
Illiteracy" by Elsie King
Moreland has received ire
mendous support and there
have been many suggestions
that it be published where
millions of others can read it.
If millions of parents have
the privilege of reading
High Cost of Illiteracy,"
with the full impact of it's
stark truthfulness they would
perhaps at last rise up and
say "let's do something about
it; we've talked long enough"
Let them say, II want my
tax money to go where it is
most needed right here at
home, to educate all of our
children; to make it COM
pulsory to go through high
school unless proven men,
tally unable. Give every boy
and girl in this rich land of
ours an equal opportunity to
get a college education. Re-
quire every girl and boy to
be under parental surveillance
and, if that is not always
possible, let our tax money
set up adequate places where
other capable adults can
guide them: but for heavens
sake get them off of the
streets. If it is possible to
hire dog catchers to round
up stray dogs, I believe hui
man beings who waste their
time and absorb crime while
doing so can be rounded
up" also.
Expensive yes-but not a
drop in the bucket compared
to the cost of crime.
