Thursday, January 25, 1951 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Pa?® Three / i A Regular Chronicle Feature Outlook Not So Dark As It Is Pictured, Babson Molds Says Russia Cannot Win Without God and U. S. Should Pray More. Washinigton, D. C., Jan. 20—I am not a military expert and cannot speak with authority as to what is to happen to our 18 to 22 year old young men during the next few years. The plans and hopes of many jobs, homes, and colleges are completely up set. * Let me, however, add a little hope to _ ■.kaw f^htened families. ***** "••®** Men who know the probatoilities assure me that the fu ture is not as bad as it now looks. They insist that only a few more boys will be shipped to Asia. We will be willing to supply guns and muni tions to enaible the Japanese to pro tect Japan, to enaible Nationalists to hold Formosa, and to give needed aid to the Philippines. But no more Am erican boys will be sent to Korea, Indo-China, Burma, India or else where in Asia. Experts at Washington believe that World War III, if it comes, will be fought mainly by the Navy and Air Force. They say it would be suicidal to depend upon numbers of infantry to meet the Russians, even in Europe. With the large number of Com munists who infest each European country, it may be best to limit our help to Western Europe to supplying them with A-Bombs. Therefore, I be lieve that mothers and boys are un necessarily excited. Americans seem unable to strike a middle course. 'Diey either ignore danger and insist on ‘business, prof its, wages and entertainment as us ual”, or else they become panic- striken and go too far in the oppos ite direction. Train For Useful Work I, therafore, strongly advise that parents and their youths avoid get ting unduly excited. First, the chanc es are three to two that Russia will not risk a “hot war” for some time to come; and second, if only the pre sent “cold war” continues, 2,500,000 young men in training would be a nuisance and handicap to all con cerned. I, moreover, speak with some authority, having founded three col leges and graduated thousands of young men. 1 further advise young men be tween 18 and 20 to quit listening to radio commentators who know no more as to the future than you my readers do. Go on about your plans SC Cost Soars In Caring For Polio Patients for schooling or work the same a? if no war is now possible. Then if you are called, it will be okay; while the chances are 50-50 that you won’t be called. When you go to work, get a job with some in dustry which is essential to the war program;—don’t be content to jerk sodas or drive a truck. Brains For War III The next few years otffer a great opportunity for young men to be come expert in some one line of work.. Too many young people have been getting jobs without any care fully planned aims. The new defense efforts enable a young man to take and ascertain for what he is best fitted and how to train therefor. If you live in a small town where there are no industries, have your mother teach you to cook. This is becoming a real profession. Drafted young men who can qualify as trained cooks are always given good opportunities for advancement. The trouble with parents and youths today is that they visualize the next war—if it comes—will be like the last war. This is a great mis take. We cannot lick Russia by num bers. Korea proved this. It was our intelligence forces that let us down. We can win by brains. If World War III comes it will be a conflict of superior intelligence. Hence, let our youth prepare to use their brains; while the poor Russians, Chinese and other peoples are treated as cannon fodder. Lf General MacAr- thur had given more attention to the Intelligence Division of his army and less to old-fashioned fighting cus toms—things would be different. Our boys should be trained by young leaders in these new ways, rattier than by out-dated old “brass” who cannot adopt modern methods. Remember Our Religion Finally, let us parents not forget that God continues to rule in His Heaven and that, in the long run, the Russians can never win without Him. God is still our refuge and our strength if we will cease worrying and take each day as it comes. Let us give more time to reading our Bi bles and less to television or even the radio. Perhaps, God is using the Russians to again bring us to our knees and to make our young peo ple—who have had things pretty easy—“stop, look and listen." At any rate, I am an optimist and believe that whatever happens, those who do their best from day to day have noth ing to fear. The cumulative cosf of caring for polio patients soars tremendously each year as new cases are added to the old, it was pointed out by Dr. James A. Hayne, state chairman of the March of Dimes. Consequently, he added, increas ingly larger amounts of money are needed to cope with the over-all load of new and carry-over cases. As high polio incidence continues—as it has for the past three years—the prob lem becomes increasingly acute. ‘There is only one answer to this new polio \challenge,” he said, “that is to make the present March of Dimes the greatest on record.” Doctor Hayne said that during 1948, 1949 and 1950—when more than 100,000 persons were stricken —the treasuries of hundreds of chap ters across the country were depleted and many others were reduced to the danger point. At the same time the epidemic fund of the National Foun dation reached bottom for two years running. "We are now faced with a stag gering polio patient load,” he said. ‘‘No matter what the 1951 season may bring in the way of epidemics, we know that we will be responsible for the thousands of patients from 1950 and earlier years.” In stressing the high cost of care in some cases. Doctor Hayne cited a South Carolina boy who has re ceived $59,000 since August 1948. U. S. Population Since Census U P 2,< • IIXOI New York, Jan. 20—The population of the United States has increased nearly 2,000,000 since the census was taken last April and now totals about 153,000,000 statisticians of the Met ropolitan Life Insurance company said today. During all of 1950, the statisticians m LIQUID OR TABLETS GIVES FAST RELIEF ►wk«n COLD MISCRIKS STRIKI said, the excess of births over deaths, including losses in the armed forces overseases, was nearly 2,250,000. They said the total increase in pop ulation in the last 10 years was a little more than 20,000,000, the high est for any 10-year period in the na tion’s history. More than 11,000,000 of this increase oocured during the last five years, they said. CALL 74 FOR YOUR PRINTING AND OFFICE SUPPLY NEEDS MORE PEOPLE ARE READING THE CHRONICLE THAN EVER BEFORE!
