He Pulled A Boner The big flare-up has on the sur face quieted down that followed President Truman’s impulsive af front attacking the Marines. .The spark was set off when the Presi dent in dictating a letter wrote: “For our information the Marine Corps is the Navy’s police force and so long as 1 am President that is what it wi.l remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Sta lin’s.’’ In short order when confront ed with a storm of protest and in dignation he called the Corps com mandant to his office and handed him a letter of apology regretting his language. It was another case of the Presi dent pulling a “boner" and especial ly at a critical period when the unit ed efforts and cooperation of all de fense branches is imperative. It was a case of marching up the hill and right back down. Or to put it an other way, the President was forced to eat "crow". The American people wish the President would think be fore he speaks. Strange Words We Say President Truman in his message to the American people a few nights ago set up a powerful new wage- price-production control system to steer the nation through these peri lous times, and he told us that the defense program will cost more than 530.000.000,000 annually. He also said that the war we are in will de mand sacrifices from every Amer ican, and that is asking ,little when we see young men figntihg and dy ing m Korea. ' J-l In his projMJsed program he sug gests harder work and longer hours lor everybody. That is a surprise sug gestion from a New Deal spender of his magniture. The theory preach ed by government the past sixteen years has been short hours and lit tle work. And because of this doc trine welfare and assistance rolls have grown by the thousands and become an enormous and expensive national and state set-up when they were started as emergency meas ures. The tragedy is that so many people don’t want to work because government has encouraged loafing and lack of initiative. was all but true. But if the democ racies continue to labor under the impression that they can do business as usual until such time as the U. N. persuades Stalin to abandon his plans, then their lives will have been thrown away and ours will remain in dire peril. It isn’t fair to place the entire blame upon the various national governments alone. When the sec ond world war ended, it was the people who demanded immediate return home of all troops, and that was natural, even from those posi tions around the world which mili tary brains knew must be held against a threat that was only too apparent. The people forced their governments’ hands—where they needed forcing—and they allowed their governments to make the most outrageous mistakes. Take China as an illustration. And even at this moment when nearly everyone feels that the Korean af fair is the beginning of war to the finish, our government and most of our people still remain hypnotized by the Red propaganda which de prived us of an extremely impor tant! fortification which might win for us—Spain. Regardless of what President Truman says in his an nounced public decision to hold up a heavy loan which Congress di rected be made, Spain should be brought into the defensive lineup against possible Russian attack in Europe. Common sense tells us that it is time to gather all of the anti communist countries we can into our defense program. shoes and wore blue socks. Her cock er-spaniel, whose name is Scoot, sat which has been added a dash on the front porch and whinned his vanilla extract and cinnamon canine belief in the folly of educa tion as she waved “good-by" and started off to the halls of learning. Tonight we talked about school. She told me about the girl who sits in front of her—the little girl with the yellow curls—and the boy across the aisle who makes funny faces. She told me about her teacher, who has eyes in the back of her head, and about the trees in the schoolyard and about the big girl who doesn’t believe in Santa Claus. We talked about a lot of things—tremendous ly vital, important things and then we studied spelling, ' reading and arithmetic, and then to bed. She is back there now—back in the nursery—sound asleep, with “Princess Elizabeth” (that’s a doll; cuddled in her right arm. You guys wouldn’t hurt her, would you? You | see, I’m her daddy. When her doll’s! finger is cut, or a leg is broken, I! can fix it—but when she starts to school, when she walks across the street—well—then she is in your J hands. She is a nice kid. She can run 1 like a deer and darts about like a > chipmunk. She likes to ride horses and swim and hike with me bn Sun- j day afternoons. But I can’t be with' her all the time—I have to work to, pay for her clothes and her educa tion. So, won’t you please look out for her and the other children? Please drive slowly past the schools and intersections—and . please remember that children do run from behind parked cars. Please don’t run over my little girl. Thank you. —“Another Safe Driver.” I (Serves 6) 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin Va eup cold water 2M cups sliced peaches, fresh or canned 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1-3 cup sugar Dash of salt 1 teaspoon grated orange peel Ya teaspoon almond extract 1 cup heavy cream, whipped Soften gelatin in iold water; dis solve over hot water.

DILLARD \ \ What The Korean War Means The names of those who are now giving their lives for their country and for human liberty should be in scribed upon the rolls of honor of ev ery civilized nation in the world, and should be placed where man can see them and revere them always. They have been thrown into a gap which was becoming wider as time and political ambitions overshadow ed patriotism and plain horse sense which those in authority in Wash ington painfully lack. They have been sacrificed upo» the altar of international stupidity; their stories should be a lesson to governments and peoples for generations to come. If the Korean affair is taken ser iously, and what of the free world that is left, at long last, realizes that there is no such thing as ap peasement in this struggle for world domination, their sacrifice will not have been in vain.
