Than Satellites, Extension Agents Told
People Of Asia More Interested In Food

Germ of most of his people was
enough food to eat. He said, 1T is
almost incOnceivable that any
country with less than 10 percent
of its total population engaged in
farming can produce not only its
own food needs but enough to
share with people around the
world 1t is far more important to
our people to have food in their
stomachs than have satellites in
the sky"
DR.. York told Delaware's extern
sion staff that agriculture and
government leaders in many of
these countries are realizing the
need for an effective agricultural
extension service patterned after
the United States.
This does not detract from the
Importance of research in these
nations, according to York, but in
stead recognizes the great body of
knowledge that is not being ap-
piled. IF this knowledge can be
applied more fully, these countries
can go a long way toward realizing
their agricultural goals" he said.
One minister of agriculture told
DR.. York, THE L. S. has helped
us in many ways but their great
est contribution has been in giving
us their concepts of Extension ed
ucatiOn and helping us to develop
an effective Extension program.
There is a tremendous interest
in some Of these countries in the
development of home economics
and All programs, according to
York. In some countries where
women were still behind the veil,
they recognized the contributions
these programs can make toward
a better home life, family life, and
improved standards of living
I'VE saw the idea of All being
transplanted in tact in some of
these countries" he said Il was
told of an experience in one cOun-
try where the per capita income
was around $40 annually. A All
boy with a vegetable project made
four to five times the income from
this little project than his father
made in his entire farming opera
ton"

The economic development and
political stability of the countries
Of Southeastern Asia living under
the shadow of Soviet Russia and
Communist China, are greatly in
fluenced by the ability of these
countries to meet their agricul-
tural goals, according to DR.. E. t.
York, Jr., Administrator of the
Federal Extension Service, U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
Speaking at the University of
Delaware's a nnu a Agricultural
Extension Conference held recent
ly at Newark, he told of his recent
tour of Southeastern Asia. Il was
greatly impressed with the ca
pacity of American agriculture
during this trip" he said. I'VE
visited countries where the per
capita income annually is e S
than $3.50. Seventy-five to so per-
cent of the population are en-
gagged in farming. Many of these
countries still are not able to pro-
duce their basic food needs"
DR.. York said he noted very
determined effort in most of these
areas to improve agriculture. He
said, when | visited these nations
few years ago they were putting
number one priority on industrial
development. Now the major en-
phasis has switched to agriculture.
Governmental leaders have re
allied that agricultural develop
ment must precede any substantial
industrial growth.
He told of one governmental
leader who said, I'VE have watch
ed with great interest the race be-
tween the United States and the
Russians; race to put the first
satellite in orbit or the first man
in space We were interested in
seeing the great concern exhibited
by the American people when the
Russians succeeded first in both
areas. If you want to make a COM
parison that is meaningful to the
S5 to 80 percent of our peoples
that are in no way concerned in
the space race, you should compare
your progress in agriculture with
that of Soviet Russia"
This governmental leader went
on to say that the primary con-

that land reform cannot be simply
proclaimed with a stroke of the
pen-are accused of trying to
block social progress.
Tax reform. just as badly need
ed, is also slow in coming and
the resistance of the wealthy and
of the poor to its different aspects
is creating new political pressures
The poor, inflatiOn-ridden classes
fear and resent higher taxes on
consumer g0ods-the wealthy eco
nOmic classes tend to reject all at
tempts to tax them more equitably
In several of the republics" Mr.
SZulc notes, ''the trend has al
ready been observed of local capi-
tai fleeing to tax havens of Swift
zerland and elsewhere to avoid
taxation at home. with the result
that national development e
sources are shrinking"
In spite of the many grave prob
lens, Mr. Szulc is hopeful 1T is
sound expectation" he con
cludes, that through the Alliance
for Progress and their own poll
cies, the South American coun-
tries will overcome these threats
to a peaceful process OF develop
ment Hope appears justified that
they will turn their backs on rev.
olutiOnary Establishments and go
on supporting democratic e

Long before the marriage bu

accurate sources of information
gave all the matrimonial advice
needed
She knew with unerring instinct
just which young man would suit
which young lady, and she was

She had her prejudices and
foibles. The most striking was her
contempt and distrust of anyone
lucky enough to marry one to
whom she had acted as Mamie.
She dismissed the husbands as
fools and the wives as being no
better than one could expect. Only
after long apprenticeship could
they hope to be accepted into the

siderable reservations.

Outlook For Democracy
Good says Expert

Latin America is in the midst
of the deepest crisis in her history
since the 18th century days of her
political emancipation from Euro
pean colonial domination. writes
Tad Szulc, veteran correspondent
for the New York Times. He makes
the observation in an article in
The Rotarian Magazine for Jan.
an issue devoted to South America
"Age-old distortions in economic
and social systems, long ignored
by Latin American republics and
by the Western world, have abrupt
ly come to the fore, and a clamor
has risen from urgent solutions" :"
Mr.. Szulc points out. The question
now, he says. is whether these
solutions can be achieved peace
fully and nationally, or whether
extreme radicalism will capture
the control of South American
events.
The extent of the rising ten
Sions is seen in the fact that in
five South American countries
Bolivia. Colombia, Ecuador, Peru,
and Nenezuela-certa or all Of
the constitutional guarantees had
to be suspended this year by the
democratic governments to help
control subversive movements
land reform has become a
battle cry throughout the conti-

South American peasants do not
want to wait for it for another
generation, or even half genera
ton. The governments that invoke
the need for preparing these re-
forms carefully and gradually

LONDON (AP) = The oldtime
Mamie is fast disappearing from
the British scene.
Making a vain effort to replace
her are armies of educators, so
biologists and psychologists.
Together, some people say, they
do not possess the wisdom and
ability of Mamie.
Who was Mamie ?-The woman
Iabout-the-hOuse whose prim r y
duty was to look after the chill
dren.
She had little training and could
lay claim to no diploma. H r
formal education often was limited
to the elementary school. Her in
formal education probably consist
ed of helping to bring up a large
number Of brothers and sisters.
Mamie DictatOrial -
With such a background. it is
not surprising that Nannie's out
look was narrow, her tongue sharp
and her appearance severe.
AS for her character, that was
as large as her devotion to the
family with whom she lived and
which, usually, she ruled with the
infleXibility of an absolute die
tatOr.
Her position in the household
was unique. She was part of the
staff and yet she was above it. A
sort of high priestess, she ex-
ercised from the precincts of the
nursery or ironing room a benev-
olent despotism.
She knew everything that went
on that might in any way affect
the family. Outspoken when nee
essary, she could, when occasion
required be as discreet as a diplo-
mat
Secure in her peculiar author
ity, she acted as the final arbiter
on family and household problems.
The friend and counsellor of
every member of the household,
she was also recognized as the
Official Recollector. Her memory
was long.
Sometimes it could be chasten-
ing and embarrassing. when she
reminded some apparently sue
cessful adult who had been

incident he had been only too glad
to forget
She ArbitrateS Fashion
Although often austere and
dowdy in her own dress, she was
nevertheless the arbiter Of fashion,

CENETiC RESEARCH

WASHINGTON Up - Research
in human genetics has advanced
to the point where scientists be-
lieve they can someday reverse
i'll effects of atomic radiation on
the human body.
An article in Medicine at Work,
publication of the Pharmaceutical
Manufacturers Association, said
one of the major studies under
way is to reverse the increasing
incidence of birth abnOrmalities
blamed by some on mutations
from radioactive falIout.
DR.. H. Bentley Glass, professor
of biology at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, pointed out in the article
that biologists are learning how
to modify the outcome of heredity.
One day, he predicts, they may
learn to control mutation by cor
recting or replacing defective
genes.
Dr. Herman J Muller, Indiana
professor of zoology and Nobel
Prize winner, foresees the time
when human sperm banks" might
make it possible for parents to
select the characteristics they
would like TO see in their children.
Germ cells stored in deep-frOzen
condition below ground could
serve as one step toward survival
of future generations undamaged
by radiation, Dr. Muller said.

HANDLERS THIRD IN 6 YEARS
Toy Poodle Triumphs
In Westminster Show

NEW YORK, Feb. Is CAPD -
When Anne Rogers talks about
toy dogs. it pays to listen.
Miss Rogers, a 6-foot-l bru-
nette from Mahopac, N. Y,
broke tradition in 1856 when
she became the first handler
ever to win the Westminster
Kennel Club show at Madison
Square Garden with a toy.
Until then the canine shrimps
were virtual orphans. The
judges would take a quick look
at the toy group winner and
turn his attention to the other
finaliStS.
BY way of proving the 1856
triumph was no mistake, Miss
Rogers repeated in 1859. Last
night she made it three in the
last six years when she won
with Oh. Cappoquin Little Sis
ter. a coal-black toy poodle
owned by Florence Nicholson
of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Il think the toy trend shows
handlers are getting more in
terested in the group" she said
today.
1T actually started before I
won in 1856. That just showed
that the handlers of the toys
had about perfected them. They
should win their share from
now on"

another, he made no secret of

1T resolved itself into a
choice of the two poodleS. he
