THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C FEMALE PEACE ORGANIZATION WOULD . . . V/hy Not Let the Ladies Take Over UN's Job? ... SOLVE THE GROMYKO PROBLEM PRONTO LET THE GALS TAKE OVER! Sen. Margaret Chase of Maine proposes that the women of the world form their own United Na tions or other peace organization. Why not? Even if they didn’t get peace the fighting would be easier on the eye. An international debate By H. never loses anything through being photogenic. • The men have had their chance at bringing world peace and have sliced every shot. Senator Chase de clares. We agree. This harassed world would feel better if it knew that its future was in the hands of t p ‘ x; M ; f -- , •>> i -kk.' r f'-. \ ' • >• \ :■.. /• ■y NIGHT T iANK God for night, with its gnu gift of sleep. More wonderful than ail His gifts to men! For Sirs that walk the dream ways, and that keep Their wide-eyed watch until dawn breaks again. Thank God for blessed silence down the land. More soothing than the drip of summer tain; For darkness, soft and cool as some dear hand Laid on a forehead feverish with pain. Oh, only those who carry sleepless scars Can know how sweet sleep is that comes at laft; And only the eyes that have looked long at ftars Have learned night’s secret as it marches paft. Have learned to know how quiet God muft keep To guide an earth through Sars that men may sleep. — Grace Noll Crowell I. PHILLIPS somebody who could at least bake a cake. • No matter how deep the planet’s faith in those men dele gates ever got there was al ways the realization that they really didn’t know how to re place a lost shirt button. • It seems to us that the men might well be called off the peace job and the women sent in. In four years the men haven’t even made anybody turn around and look at them. Not a delegate has had a song written to him. There hasn’t been a heartthrob in a carload. U. N. has no glamour. For one per son who can name the head of the organization 1,000 can name the young woman who was Miss Some body’s Beer for 1948. « If the women formed a peace organization, took over U.N. and sent the men home to look after the kids, put out the cat and do other things not subject to the veto, the peace movement would immediately acquire im mense affection and devotion. Maybe what the world needs Is a League that can be whistled at! • We can see swift results. A fe male U.N. would get a bigger play in all the newspapers and maga zines. It would probably make the cover of Life. It would even make television, which is the ultimate goal these days. Whenever interest in the organization tailed off the delegates could be photographed in beach attire or endorsing a girdle. « A woman’s United Nations would solve the Gromyko problem pronto. There has never been a time when one woman could veto 1,000 other women and live. _ • — What can men do when the world is ornery? Nothing. But in a showdown the women could get what they want merely by flashing a two-word message to all women everywhere: “Stop cooking!’’ And they could follow that up with an order to the girls to refuse to answer the universal question, “Where did you put the aspirin, Nellie?’’ — o — To cap it all they could say, “Not a bed will be made or a sock washed until the armies of the earth disband.” * Gangway for the ladies! They will know the right perfumery. And if, by any chance, they muddled things up even more, the muddle would at least have that certain something. • • • CUFF STUFF President Truman threw out the first ball at the opening of the baseball season in Washington. It was a Blair House twister with al ternating altitude and depth, and everybody can now understand why he feels control is so mandatory to the American system. • • * Can you remember away back when the flags in a college student’s room did not include picket banners? • • • The Blair House, now occupied by the president as a temporary White House, has been piped for music from a corporation render ing this service to hotels and res taurants. Does this mean Mrs. Truman and Margaret are in an all-out move to discourage Harry at the piano? • • • Elm trees a half century old have been carted in from the coun try and planted along Fifth ave. We feel sorry for them. It’s a little late in life to start afresh in New York. We saw one of the trees on a truck preparatory to planting and distinctly heard it moan, “New York is all right for a visit, but I’d hate to live there.” White Mice Serving In Chemical Tests Insecticide Shower Evaluates Formulae An old-style phonograph rigged up to give a revolving shower bath to a white mouse is helping test new chemicals for effectiveness in stable fly control.

POOR SHOT By INEZ GERHARD J IM AND MARIAN Jordan had been in and out of small-time show business for several years when a $10 bet landed them on the radio. They were visiting Jim’s brother in Chicago when Jim re marked that he and Marian could do a better job of singing than any one on the radio program they were listening to; Jim’s brother bet him $10 they couldn’t. That was a lot of Fibber and Molly money to the Jordans then; they showed up at Station WIBO, and landed on the air. Five months later the radio job ended, and they went back to vaudeville. It was not until later that they became “Fibber McGee and Molly” in one of radio’s top ranking radio series. The Fiction POACHERS Corner By Richard H. Wilkinson Dr. Henry Darlington, Rector of New York's Church of the Heavenly Rest, recently appeared as family counselor on “The Second Mrs. Burton.” Listening to the singing commercials, he remarked, “If churches used a device as catchy as this, I could guarantee standing room only.” No doubt he went home and asked the cook to try those 'even delicious flavors. Burt Lancaster is back In the circus; he finished “Rope of Sand” and beaded for Lonis- ville, Ky., and the Cole Broth er’s circus, to do an acrobatic act with bis former partner, Nick Cravat; will appear with It in 26 cities. Howard “Sam Spade" Duff re lived a scary experience when he and other members of the “Part ners in Crime” cast were flying to Universal-International’s loca tion in Tucson. The plane shook violently, and one engine went dead. Finally landed on the remaining three. When he was in the South Pacific during the war. Duff was in. a plane that encountered severe headwinds, threatened to run out of gas. He admits that he was as scared as anybody else, but he took out some cards and started a poker game. I T HAPPENED that young Glen Lloyd was the only warden on duty when Chief Fred Mather re ceived word that poachers were doing a wholesale business in moose meat up in BirchUl county. Glen was a rookie on the job. As yet he’d had no contact with either the hardships or the dangers of a north woods game warden. Chief Mather decided to use discretion. “You go up there and do some reconnoitering,” he told the youth. “You’ll find a base camp un- 3 'Minute der a cliff near Ciotion the headwaters Fiction of the Beaver Make this your headquarters until Warden Loomis arrives. He’ll tell you how to pro ceed.” Chief Mather drummed with his pencil. “Don’t take any chances, son. I’ve an idea that Moe Stanford’s behind this ring. He’s a bad actor.” Glen reached the base cabin two days later. The ground was cov ered with a six-inch fall of snow Glen waited two days more and then decided to take matters into his own hands. Armed with his ser vice pistol and a flashlight he con cealed himself near the tote road on top of a ridge where the prog ress of the truck would have to be slow. It was bitterly cold and a brisk wind was blowing. Also there was the promise of snow in the air. Midnight came and went and Glen’s spirits ebbed low. Cursing himself for delaying action, Glen was about to quit his hiding place when he heard distantly the roar of an automobile motor. He waited until the driver was shifting gears for the final pull, then stepped out into the glare of the lights. He held his gun in one hand. The badge on his sheepskin coat was plainly visible. Instead of stopping, the driver bore down on the accelerator. The truck roared straight at the war den. Glen stepped to one side, bare ly avoiding being hit, and as the heavy machine lumbered by he swung himself onto the running board. He clung there perilously for a moment, then something hit him on the head, he heard an angry curse, and went spinning of into space. Fifteen minutes later he emerged on to the same tote road where it doubled back on itself. The lights from the truck were already sweep ing up the incline. G LEN CROUCHED behind a boulder, glad that the darkness was so intense. He waited until the truck had crawled by, then ran after it He caught the tailboard and hoisted himself up. Two men were standing up front, leaning over tjie cab. The noise of the motor had drowned out sounds of his ap proach. Reversing his service gun, Glen crept up behind the men, felled one of them and grappled with the other. The scuffle was short-lived. Taken completely by surprise the poacher was at a disadvantage. Stunned by the blow which he tried to dodge, he fell against the cab and slumped to his knees when Glen struck out a second time. The warden handcuffed the two men to an upright in the truck, then approached the cab. There was a small window in its rear. Through this Glen thrust his gun, splintering the turned to find themselves star ing into the gun’s muzzle. Warden Loomis, trekking north ward to join young Glen Lloyd, was astonished to find a truck on the old tote road. The truck stopped and a friendly, boyish voice greeted him. “Hi, Joe,” Glen yelled. “Put some bracelets on these birds in front, will you? My hand’s so stiff from holding this gun I can’t move it—let alone pull the trigger.” When Chief Mather heard the story he wrote a personal letter to Supervisor Herrick, compliment ing the supervisor on his choice of men.

The test comes the next day in another cage with 20 stable flies. If as many as four of the flies succeed in attacking the mouse without being driven off or poisoned, the chemical is not re garded as worth a full scale test on a cow. This is the first time white mice have been used in just this kind of experimental work. Federal entomologists are search ing actively for a spray that will protect animals from attack by stable flies and other blood-sucking flies and mosquitoes. Recent ex perience has proved abundantly how profitable it is for farmers to protect cattle from the torment of “fly time” and thus avoid the sum mer slump in milk production and gains in weight of animals on pasture. This search calls for trials of hundreds of chemicals. Many of these are new synthetics. Soil Protection “Won’t your wife hit the ceiling when you get home tonight?” “She probably will.

Beating rains on hare land break the surface soil into small particles. These particles quickly fill tha pores of the surface soil. The sur face forms a hard crust. Water cannot soak in. Instead, it runs ever the surface. The farm land then suffers a double loss. It loses needed moisture for crops and it loses valuable top-soil. The Middle West soil improve ment committee suggests these steps for protecting your soil and giving your crops better use of the rains you get: 1. Use a cropping system that gives your soil as continuous cover as possible throughout the year. 2. Thick - growing grasses and deep-rooted legumes give the best cover. 3. Small grains following corn help keep the land protected. 4. If winter wheat or rye is not feasible, a good covering can be had by mashing down com stalks or soybean tops. Legumes like alfalfa and sweet slover prevent washing away of loiL Their prying taproots open the soil so rain soaks in and is held for crops. Legumes well fed with phosphate and potash fertilizer add life-giving organic matter. Dipping casters in melted paraf fin before placing . them under tables and chairs will keep them from coming loose so often.

Try tomato juice to remove stains from washable materials. Apply a thin coat of sealer to wire clotheslines to keep them from rusting and make them much easier to clean. To squeeze that extra drop of juice out of a lemon, use an or dinary pair of pliers. —•— If cheese is too soft to grate, soften it a little more in a warm place and press through a coarse strainer. —•— Purse mirrors placed under in dividual candle holders a re attractive insurance against drip ping or spilled tallow.
