What of the Winter?

(Get your scissOrs-Cut This OUT
METEOROLOGISTS cautiously pre-
~ dict an unseasonably cold winter So,
get out the red flannels, lay in the
wood, and get ready for some cold
weather. What makes us say that? Well,
our friend, Louis Rubin, the amateur
weatherman in Richmond. believes this
will be an "off normal" winter on the
cold side. The meteorologists see strato-
spheric winds or air movements from
the northwest to the east. Rubin de-
ponds upon volcanic eruptions Of
months ago and he has pinpointed the
unusual spells to the actual day.
Cut this prediction out and check it..
Rubin says "off-normal" days will
be:
September 81
October l, 6, IA, 20, %
November 5, II, Is, 81
December 4, II, Is, 26, 81.
for:
January 8, IA, Is.
February 8, 16, %.
March 6, 10, Is.
April 8, II, %.
Weatherman Rubin does not predict
the weather, he simply foretells "un-
usal off-normal' temperatures. Wealth
er depends upon atmospheric conditions
at the time the off-normal tempera-
lures occur. Mr. Rubin is uncanny in his
far-range predictions, and is usually
correct within "a hours.

noted that there was a sub.
stantial increase in the number
of memorial gifts received by.

The memorial fund has been
established by the American

practical and fitting means by
which families or friends may
commemorate a loved one who
has died of cancer or other
cause" Mrs. Yates said. Me-
mortal funds are used in the So

believe that cancer will be-
brought under control before
many more years have passed.

Azores Key Point In Air Defense

fic was moving across the
field on the island Of Terceira.
II the U. S. again was faced
with the necessity Of q military
airlift to Europe or the Mdeast,
it could hardly do without the
Azores.
But the future Of American
activity on the Azores is in
question. The base-rights agree
ment is expiring. and the Portu-
guese are planning lengthy ne
gotiations. They feel that they
have received a raw deal from
their NATO partner, Uncle Sam.
No mention has been made of
a money payment for the base
rights. All along Portugal's po-
sition is that the national terri
tory is not for rent. They have
regarded the Azores base-first
granted during the war against
Nazism-as their contribution to
NATO. What they want is an
understanding on Angola.
The United States can't afford
to lose the Azores base. And it
is up to the great engine of U. S.
public opinion to get the Ken
nedy administration moving in
the direction Of a more SYM
pathetic view Of the Portuguese
stand in Africa.
Those American leaders with
a grasp of the strategic reai-
ties realize that the Azores are
only one of many Portuguese
territories that may be needed
for U. S. and NATO defense pur-
poses in the years ahead.
With pro- Communists in con-
troll of the North African land
bridge, the Communist empire
is beginning to plot conquest of
both Spain and Portugal. T h e
Soviets attempted this in tn e
1905 but failed. They intend to
try again. If they seize the
Iberian penicula, by a combina
ton of subversion and terrorist
raids from North Africa, they
will be at the gateway Of
Europe.
NATO strategiSts are increas-
ingly aware Of the fact that the
West must adopt a win"
strategy in Iberia, and build
Spain and Portugal into a strong
bastion.
Indeed. Spain and Portugal to-
gether represent a forward po-
sition for a forward defense
tr a tie gy. If Communists in
North Africa believe they have
outflanked NATO on the south.
then the Western task is to out
flank North African Communists
by building airbases in Spanish
Sahara and Portuguese posses
sions even farther south in
Africa.
d But the key to the whole U. S.
NATO defense position is reten-
ton of the Azores. Without the
Azores, U. S. military airlift
capabilities would be struck a
massive blow.
No State Department desire to
engage in popularity contest
for the favor of Afro-Asian ma
tons can be allowed to outweigh
the survival needs of the United
States in an age of Communist
aggression.
And the Azores are very def
nitely among Americas survival
moods

Suppose the Russians had an
air base in the Eastern Allan
tic?
Even the suggestion sounds in
credible. But q cold look at the
facts of American liberal pres
sure against the anti Communist
government Of Portugal makes
plain that fear Of this happen
ing is not unfounded.
If pressure should topple the
Salazar government Of Portugal,
and a neutralist regime should
obtain power. the Portuguese
might be forced into a deal with
the Soviets. Loss of ng0l a
would cause such economic hav-
&C that Portugal might have to
trade airbase rights on I h e
Azores to the Soviets in return
for financial aid.
Today, those air base rights
are enjoyed by the Unite d
States. The Azores are a vital
air link between the United
States and bases on the
European mainland. With t h e
loss Of U. S. airbases in Mo-
rocco the Azores have increas-
ed in importance.

Cuban Refugees

CINCE Fidel Castro took over with

and thousands of Cuban refugees have
been fleeing to the United States. We
allow practically all Of them to remain
here, despite the general provisions of
grounds.
This is bad precedent and as much
as we sympathize with the people of
Cuba, they must solve their own pro-
blem with our help, we assume) in
Cuba.
The United States cannot undertake
to ignore normal immigration procedure
to receive the multitudes of any and all
Latin American peoples who fall under
the yoke of an evil dictator. For in
these countries dictators flourish and
come annd go periodically.
These people do not come to this
country because they love it or want to
make fine American citizens. Most Of
them, tragically enough, come because
they oppose the Cuban regime, or are
oppressed. To be practical about it, they
could do more for their country in many
cases by staying in Cuba and resisting,
as best they can, the Communist forces
there.
Cubans are still escaping to the Unit
ed States almost daily. While we would
not feel justified in sending them back
to Cuba. We are certainly justified in
asking sister Latin American nations
to take these refugees. There are
enough Latin countries where they can
go so that no one country need take too
many.
The United States cannot be the re-
fugee haven for the Americas. There
are, and will always be, too many re-
fugees for us to digest, and with them

Conventionitis

4 MERICANS have conventionitis. HUI
mans are gregarious naturally, but
Americans have become more so in the
past few years. If one was a member
of three or four organizations and at
tended the conventions held by each,
from two to three weeks per year
would be consumed.
Conventionitis has increased greatly
since business firms may charge con-
vention costs to operating expenses,
thus the money spent becomes income
tax free. If you don't believe people
with money, or businesses with profits
are tax conscious, just talk with some
of them. Federal income taxes on bust
ness are from 80 to So per cent and on
individuals from 18 to 80 per cent
Therefore, if conventions help, aid or
instruct, it is painlessly easy for every
one in sight to attend
Just take us for example. We belong
to three business organizations ~ the
National Editorial Association, the Vir-
ginia Press Association and the Vir-
ginia State Printers Association. The
National Editorial Association has one
principal convention for about two
weeks annually, and several confer
ences in between time, The VPA has
two conventions annually, semi-anni1al

ing, two news seminars, photographers

With the geese ready to go, gremlins now

Some years ago President Dwight D.
Eisenhower asked the American people to
think of ways in which they might help the
people of other lands. Mr. Harold Weisburg,
proprietor of Coo Dor Farm in the upper
reaches of Montgomery County, tried to think
of some way in which he might offer help to
an underdeveloped nation. Mr. Weisburg pro-
duces eggs, ducks, chickens and geese on his
farm at Hyattstown so naturally his thoughts
conferred on poultry products. Suddenly the
answer flashed into his mind-geese.
Geese are in some ways comparable to
an inventors dream, perpetual motion, in that
once started they keep themselves going,
provide useful services, and as a bonus are
good source of nourishing food. Geese are
vegetarians whose main source of food is
grass or any other vegetation that appeals to
them. Strawberry and cotton growers in the
U. S. have found that geese will clear their
crops of weeds without eating the strawberry
and cotton plants The joining of a straw
berry or cotton crop with geese produces a
weed-free crop dressed geese for sale, and a
breeding flock for producing weeders for the
following year.
For those nations with plentiful sup
ply of vegetation but with few meat products
and little capital, geese might provide a con-
siderable increase in the food supply, reasoned
Mr.. Weisburg. He thought first of Korea and
offered % China geese to Federal Agency.
This first effort was apparently checked off
by snarls of red tape, but Mr.. Weisburg tried
again.
The Heifer Project, first organized by the
Church of the Brethren and now supported by
many denominations, is an organization that
arranges for the purchase and shipment of
live stock to underdeveloped areas. With the
help of The Hefer Project and the Peace
Corps, Mr. Weisburg began to make some
progress in his effort to give away 25 geese.
St Lucia Island, located in the southern curve
of the West Indies as it sweeps towards South
America, was the place selected to receive
the geese.
Crates to ship the geese were built by
Frederick High School students from material
supplied by the Farmers Cooperative of Fred
