Mr.. and Mrs. Garrett l..
Grier have presented to the
Milford Free Library an at
tractiye masonic peg bulletin
board to be placed in the chill

1t has a colorful rural scene
at present and along with it
is literature and books that are
in keeping with the picture.
Miss Nj. Edith Simpson is de-

and so are the children. 1t is
a focal point of interest which
will be changed on occasion of
a historic event, a national hol-
day or a current happening
that will be of interest to the
children. 1t is four by four

Double Check

No doubt but that you were sur
prised to see that the Civil War
was still going on. While the
spokesman preach Peace and
contentment to lull your aching
nerves, we find ourselves in the
assembly line getting our bodies
readied and our minds made up
on what was supposed to- be set
tied a hundred years ago.
Darwin startled the world with
his man from monkey came"
now we are seeing the next
real evolution Of getting man
back to be a monkey again. We
lose on every round.
This may seem stupid to you
now, but you wait around and
get sight on some of our i'm
ported labor that is in the line.
It's not something the young
bride can run home to mother
on but she will be able to
think back and pray for the lights

Remember the old cars when
they didn't know where to put the

the motors in the same fix now
they may put it in the tool
box SOS you can take it to your
room and be certain of having
one to start when you get up in
the morning.
Some still say the world is i'm
proving. Well. you look at it and
if it don't change your mind, look
again.
1t is not clear to me as to
where all those campaign run

even know which way they went.

1T WAS THE SNUG presump-
ton that science is on the equali-
tartan side and those who deny
it are illiterates which prompted
this possibly epoch-making book
of Carleton Putnam's. In his
preface he quotes the Negro
Communist poet, ngston
Hughes, who, in a race problem
debate with me on America S
Town Meeting of the Air from
New York some years ago, kept
saying "Oh, Mr.. Graves, if only
you knew any anthropology!'

aster could cost us the cold war
with Russia some day.

cept as sine qua non of Scien-

talities of the French Revolution.
The South denies those sentiment
alities are embodied in the Con-
! stitution that came of it's own
American Revolution.
But most of all, the South re-
fuses to be indicted as the place
Of racial hate in this country.
That place is Chicago, Detroit,
New York, Los Angeles or some
other place where race relations
are as new and uncomprehended
as ours are old and understood.

Race And Reason

DACK in 1858, Carleton Putnam, a
New Highlander and prominent bust
nessman, wrote letter to President
Eisenhower, setting forth his opinions
on the racial question fomented by the
Supreme Court Decision Of 1854. Mr..
Putnam's letter was published on the
editorial page of the Richmond Times
Dispatch October 16, 1858, and stimu-
lated serious thought throughout this
area. So far as we have heard his letter
was acknowledged by the then Presi-
dent Eisenhower, but that was the end
of that. Several other papers in the
South published the letter and so anxi-

this paper having refused to use it for

General William Rogers in which he
raised pertinent legal points.
There were reactions from the public
to these two letters, if none from the
President or the Attorney General. Mr..
Putnam received thousands Of letters.

Within this overlap many Ne

And for both races there is
room to grow. Heredity puts

It Suits Me Better Now

Old time folks on winters night
In beds, placed heated bricks;
They climbed the stairs by candle light
To dream on strow-fed ticks.
A WOODEN cop and WOODEN socks,
Augmented their ottire;
And with the growing Of the cocks,
They built the morning fire.
When these old methods we're erased,
The furnace maker came;
And bright electric bulbs replaced
The feeble candle flame
Today, with LUXURY the mode,
We sleep on rubber foom
And there are times the cocks have crowed
Before some men get hone
! con recall in boyhood days
How cold bed could be;
And following old fashioned woys,
Took bricks to bed With me-
Our old farm home was hard to beat
In years now far away;
But now, home with furnace heat.

author approaches the problem from
scientific point of view without
emotion. He points to the questionable
equalitarian theories of Boaz and other
modern anthropologists, and his con-
illusions are endorsed by four eminent
scientists, from the fields of genetics,
psychology, anthropology, zoology and
anatomy. But let no one have the notion
that this is treatise for the intelli-

Renewed Cold War

BATTLING of swords is the order of
the day. Khrushchev dares the
United States and President Kennedy
dares the Russians. Hot spots appear
around the world. Thus the most in
telligent people who have ever inhabit
ed the globe find no satisfaction, no
peace, no serenity. The cynic might we'll
ask what price civilization. Love of
power, love of money, ambition and
selfishness hold the sway These are
dangerous times.
Cuba in the western hemisphere, Laos
in the eastern hemisphere hold the
spotlights now. Germany is potential
spot for the next move in the cold war,
or will it be Formosa, or Korea. Rus
STA has engineered the United States
and its allies into a position where
trouble can be excited at a moments
notice in half dozen far-removed
places. Germany and Korea are divided
into two parts, one communist, the other
free. The chinese nationalist govern
ment continues to exist through the mill
tary protection of the United States.
Congo is emerging from savagery either
to established governments or chaos. At
present it appears to be chaos. Russian
agents cover the world with intrigue.
Upon this background Cuba appears

to us to be the most important crisis
for the United States. Castro's commu-

ed by the United States, is challenged
by disaffected Cubans within the coun-
try and thousands who have fled. Rus
sian tanks and bombers have appeared
among the Cuban war equipment How
strong Castro is militarily appears to
be unknown. To what extent the Cuban
people will desert him is question. For
the present the United States are play
ing the part of benevolent neutral to-
ward the Cuban rebels, while Khru-
shchev and Kennedy shake their fists at

AS stated in these columns some
months ago, the United States should
have taken firmer stand with Castro
Time has not helped our position. It
may be late but firm positions should
be taken now, and, if necessary, military
forces be set into motion to stabilize
Cuba. These people understand force
and power They misunderstood diplo-
macy and reason. Put to the test we do
not believe they will choose communism
in preference to self-government.
Regardless, Cuba should be the re-
sponsibility of the United States, and
the sooner it's problem is eased the bet
