WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

Q. I recently saw the fol-
lowing ad in a New York news
paper: SURVEYED NAVAL
VESSELS FOR SALE "AS is"
WHERE IS" I have two
questions about this ad (Which
went on, incidentally, to list a
destroyer, LIST and several
other naval vessels and their
present locationS). First, what
does survey" mean in such a
context? I should have thought
that any Surveying" done
about a ship would be in the
nature of original planning be-
fore the ship itself was built,
not when it was about to be
sold.
Second, shouldn't that head
line read "AS ARE" and
WHERE ARE? There are
several ships involved; I should
think plural verbs would be
called for.--N. H., New York.
A. Survey" has a rather
special meaning here, one that
seems to have eluded most die
tionary editors. I believe this
extension of the basic meaning
OF survey" began in the Navy
Department. though 1t is now
also used by other services,
Briefly, it is an abbrev ltion

to the highest bidder. In Navy
parlance, then, a piece Of prop

bringing up babye
Hints collected
BY Mrs. Dan Gerber,
Mother Of

Many a new mother is apt to worry about
whether her baby gets enough sleep. Strangely
enough, most babies get the amount Of sleep
they need. Reassuring to remember that sleep
patterns vary just as all baby behavior
patterns do. A high-voltage baby tends to sleep
less than a ake-things-as-they-come baby,
but there is no evidence that a wide -awaxer
does not thrive as well as a sleepyhead.
Night owls or sleepyheads have
tendency to eat with special relish when
menus feature Gerber Strained Foods. And
small wonder! They're custom" cooked for
babies. Flavors are delightfully."- natural, the
texture ever so nice to the tongue. And they're
mildly seasoned the way they should be for
young baby. All are prepared by specialists

younger than Ann, rode to New Salem
and told Lincoln of her sickness growing
worse. Lincoln rode out and they let
him in for what might be his last hour
with her. He saw her pale face and
wasted body, the blue eyes and. auburn
hair. Few words we're spoken, probably,
and he might have gone only so far as to
let his gnarled fingers lie softly on a
small white hand while he tried for few
monosyllables of bright hope.
A few days later, on August 25, 1885,
death came to Ann Rutledge. Burial was
in nearby Concord cemetery. Whether
Lincoln went to her funeral, whether he
wept in grief with others at the sight of
her face in the burial box, no one later
seemed to know. Her cousin, McCrady
Rutledge, wrote much later, Lincoln
took her death gerry hard
A letter of Matthew Marsh, dated
September II, had tone as though the
postmaster knew Lincoln was in good
health and cheer. But this tells US moth
ing of Encoln's inner feelings. Later,
when Lincoln was the center Of meal
culable death and agony and friend
rebuked him for telling funny stories,
he cried back, ''DOn't you see that if I
didn't laugh I ,rOuId hare to sceep9"
He did no doubt take AIMS death VERY
hard,'' yet he was ambulant and doing
his work as shown by a cumberland
survey he completed and dated Septem-
her "a, 1885.
A legend is launched
1t was to come to pass that 80 years
later New Salem villagers soberly spoke
and wrote that Lincoln went out of his
mind, wandered in the woods mumbling
and crazy, and had to be locked up, all
of which was exaggeration and reckless
expansion of his taking AIMS death
VERY hard"
Woven with the recollections of his
insanity were also the testimonies of

The letters were said to
maintain that labor organiza-

to promote school and factory
integration. The employer con-
1 tends this is true, and the
Lynchburg workers are sophis-

facts.

On one hand the law says
nothing should be allowed to
interfere with workers having
a free choice on letting a labor

But the law also says "the
expressing of any views, argu-
ment or opinion, or the dis
semination thereof, whether in
written, printed, graphic or Wis
ual form" is permissible to en-
ployers and unions alike.
The question facing the
NLRB-one that it never has

appeals to racial feelings, Ell

In other words, does one

TeIeyised Education for All

Education by televiSion has come
to Washington at last, thanks to the
Greater Washington Educational Tele-
vision Association, the Federal Com
munications Commission, the broad
casters and many school authorities.
The initial viewing group necessarily
will be small, as only a relatively few
local TV sets are equipped to tune in
the new ultra-high frequency (UHF)
station, WETA-TV, operating on Chan
mel rs. But if the programs announced
for the series of inaugural presentations
are typical of what is to follow, we have
no doubt that many additional TV sets,
and their owners, will be converted.
AS for the conventional sets, special
converterS will be required to bring in
the lectures, demonstrations, plays and
other features scheduled for adult and
youthful televiewers. Some of the newer
televiSion sets have already been
equipped for UHF reception. Others
may be converted by addition of a new
tuning strip at moderate cost or by
purchase of converter that will tune
in not only Channel 26 but other UHF
bands as well. Education by television
over station devoted exclusively to
such programs is an experiment that
deserves to succeed

Greet Expectations

One Of the last-minute congress
Sional actions which delighted President,
Kennedy was the enactment of Peace
Corps program along precisely the lines
he asked, including permanent status
for the corps and $40-million authori-
cation to carry it through the current
fiscal year. Within the next 10 months,
the President said, some 2,700 volun-
teers should be in training or abroad,
promoting "the cause of world peace"
and helping other nations toward their
legitimate goals of freedom and oppor-
tunity."
Now that the corps is firmly estab-
liShed, we hope that it lives up to the
high expectations entertained by Mr..
Kennedy. Until there is an opportunity
to see the program in action, however,
we will keep our fingers crossed. A great
deal Of the initial burden will fall on the
shoulders of the Presidents brother-in-
law, Sargent Shriver, who as director
must supervise the selection, training
and assignment of the volunteers. But
the real test will come in the perfor-
nance Of these young Americans them
selves, and in the reception and cooper
alton which they receive in the troubled
areas they will visit around the globe.
