worked harder than this one
to achieve the grand design of
true peace and true brother

When we sat in his great
oval office, Mr.. Kennedy
exuded confidence. He was
not easily elated-even by
good news-but he felt that he

wheels in motion toward his
two goals: True peace, a
peace in which all nations

the next war, and true broth

But Nog did things no spook
or ghost would ever have done.
On Halloween he would catch
peoples cats and hang them
up by their tails. He would
take little children'S treats
away from them and fill up their
bags with stones. He would tie
up old ladies' doors so they
could never get out of their
homeS-not even If there was a
fire.
Well, he was giving the
Witches a terrible name, you

Wit c h e S went to the Queen

The Queen Fairy was at her
wits end because she didn't
know what to do with him. And
BugabooS never die, you know,
so Nog was going to be around
forever. Then, one day at a
party, the Queen Fairy was
eating ice cream with Santa
Claus and she told him about
the problem.
Santa said, why don't you
send Nog to Santa Land?"

There wasn't anything else

CHAPTER 2

! Once upon a time, began the
Storyteller, there lived an evil
BugaboO in far away Santa
Land.
"0h, no." said Sissy, sitting
at the Storytellers' feet. "Only
good creatures i've in Santa
Land. They are Santa's helpers.
Even the imps and COLLINS are
good"
Hush, Sissy" said Jeremy,
poking her with his elbow. HE
knows the story"
The Storyteller opened his
eyes and gazed at Sissy. "You
are right" he said gently.
"0nly good creatures live in
Santa Land ordinarily. But it is
not always so. And the time l
am telling about there was a
very wicked Bugaboo there"
Miss 10 gripped brother
Jeremy's arm and swallowed.
"W-what was his name?"
''Nog," said the Storyteller.
He closed his eyes and was
silent as though he had been
overcome by the very name of
the wicked fiend. Finally, he
began again.
In the first place, he said,
Nog did not belong in Santa
Land. He had always been a
problem Bugaboo. The Queen
Fairy who is responsible for
these things placed him in
Santa Land because she simply
didn't know what else to do
with him.
She tried having him work in
the Weather F a Glory which
manufacturers storms but Nog
was always fouling things up.
He pushed buttons that made
snow storms in August. He sent
showers of hail down at map

someone's special birthday par

to the sun closet and the sun
didn't shine for seven whole
weeks. Not once.

things like that going on, so the

A 55-page draft of rules and

Frederick ]. Richardson

board and mayor of Mount

other things.
However, the draft was not
released by the county heads
after Mayor Richardson pre-
scented it at the public meeting
1T is not the proper time to
release it for public consump-

president of the board. He said
it will be released after the
county commissioners discuss

Mayor Richardson's position or

to an ordnance passed in
September, 1862, which author

After a short discussion, the
commissioners noted in the
minutes that the ordinance

Mrs. Kennedy Did

She did not want him to have

shyly, looking down at the

Her goal was a personal
family life. This clashed with
his two goals. Mrs. Kennedy

her father-in-law so much that
she told me she asked him to

During that time l have had
five pregnancies which Melted

than with one non-functioning

one.

Zone kidneyed) ancestors
Mrs. r.
THANKS. Your letter
should bring cheer and con-
fidence to Mrs. T. and others
who are about to live on one
kidney.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: l am
90 years old and while / can
see to read very well, l can't
stay awake. The very instant
l try to read, l 60 to sleep.
My doctor says l have lived
too long. What do you think
of that Statement?-Mr. E.
AS THIS is a family news
paper l don't dare make any
comment to your doctor in
this column. However, l have
a good idea about what I'd
say to him face to face. It's
unprintable.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
husband is 20. He has trouble
eating and drinking. Now, on
top of all this, he came down
with a kidney infection and
the doctors found that he has
cancer of the prostate gland.
He lost a leg about so years
ago which may account for
his nervousness. But don't
think so. He has worked hard
all his life, and we used to 90
square dancing for many
years. He didn't give his
wooden leg a second thought.
The doctors had to give him
special hormones to control
the cancer. He also gets
pills every day and night to
control his pain. Here's what
worries me: Is it possible
for him to become a drug
addict?MrS. W.
l WOULD PRESCRIBE as
much medication as he needs
to keep him comfortable as
possible. l wouldn't worry
about drug addiction. The
least we can do in such
a condition is at least make
him as painfree as possible.
So don't Gas many others do,
too become concerned about
drugs. Be thankful there are
such medicines for suffering.
I think most doctors will
agree that the problem of
comfort Supercedes that of ad-
diction in your husbands
case.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: l am
a young girl and l am almost
6 feet tall. That's pretty tall
for a girl and l have Suf-
fered very much about it. If
l should ever meet a tall man
and get married, is there
something that l could do or
give my baby to cut down her
growth?-Miss x.
LET'S MEET that tall boy
first, and worry about the
babyS height later. You are
borrowing trouble. There are
many boys over 6 feet tall
who are potential husbands
for you. Incidentally, there's
no medicine that will restrict
growth.
DR.. Steincrohn's ledtIet,
"HoD to Stop Killing Your
self" DiH be mailed on re-
ceipt of a stamped, self
addressed enUelope and IS
cents in coin for handling.

Powell said the riot would occur
unless two things happen: First,
that the social factors which pro-
duce racial tensions are removed
and second, unless the Negro
community. particularly the up
per and middle class group,
arouses itself to an new involve
ment with its less fortunate, eco
nomically exploited and emotional
ly deprived Black brethren"
Powell, the House Labor Com
mittee Chairman, added: ''In the
midst of this black bourgeois So
ciety of Washington, eighty per
cent Of the people on welfare are
Negroes; seventy per cent of the
illiterates are Negroes; and ninety
per cent of the crimes are COM
mitted by Negroes. Unemploy-
ment among Negroes Is three
times that Of Whites. The rate of
school dropouts continues 10 esca-
late, and there is no place for the
dropouts to find jobs if they are
Black. Industries and businesses
controlled by the Board of Trade
refuse to employ NepOres. .
I ask this question and demand
an answer, or the white COM
munity stands self-convicted of
the greatest crime: What is the
Board of Trade doing to help solve
the problems of unemployment,
racial discrimination in housing
and employment, crime and the
rehabilitation of welfare recip-
ents?"
Powell said, ''Washington's
crime rate is not the highest in
the nation. Washington ranks
18th among Americas Is largest
cities in the number of crimes per
thousand populations. This is more
important, and l am quoting
again from the F'BI Uniform
Crime Reporting Statistics: The
national increase in crime for
1862 was seven per cent and the
increase of crime for Washing
ton was 4.9 per cent"
