•T«HE THIRD promise of a good
^ citizen: I will respect and obey
the laws. I will assist public of
ficials in preventing crime and the
courts in giving evidence.
Laws are rules people make so
they can live together without step
ping on each other’s toes.
The simplest law of all, perhaps,
is the traffic light. When it is green
it’s supposed to protect you against
the other fellow. When it is red it’s
supposed to protect the other per
son from you.
Ours is a government of laws—
not men.
Our constitution guarantees that
our laws may be made in one way,
and one way only, by the people,
through their elected representa
tives—not by one man, or a few
men, or by any appointed group.
No man in this country is so big
that he is above the law, and none
so insignificant that he cannot look
to the law for protection.
A good citizen cooperates with
the law. He assists public agents
In preventing crime, and the courts
In giving evidence.

N ANCY OLSON’S career so far
has been one of those amazing
Hollywood success stories; a tal
ent scout saw her in a play at the
University of California, two years
ago; she had a screen test the next
day, a Paramount contract the day
after that. One month later she
was co-starring with Randolph
Scott in 20th Century-Fox’s “Ca
nadian Pacific.” She had a fine
role in “Sunset Boulevard,” her
second film, so perfectly suited to
her that she wore her own clothes.
“Union Station” is her third. But
it hasn’t all been just luck. Young
Nancy has both beauty and talent,
and has worked hard in college
dramatic courses to get experi
ence.
Sen. Alexander Wiley, of the spe
cial senate committee investigat-
ing interstate crime, held a screen
ing of Columbia’s “711 Ocean
Drive” for Sen. Kefauver and the
other members. The film, starring
Edmond O’Brien and Joanne Dru,
exposes the techniques and meth
ods used by horse racing wire sfer- !
vices to disseminate their illegal !
information throughout the coun
try. ' f
mi*'
Matt McHugh was cast as a
hard-boiled sheriff in “Return of
the Frontiersman” because he
looks more like a cowboy than most '
cowboys do. But Mat, born and
raised on New York’s Tenth Ave
nue, had never mounted a horse
or carried a gun before the picture
started. The brother of Frank Mc
Hugh, he appears in support of
Gordon MacRae, Rory Calhoun,
Julie London and Jack Holt.
A good citizen does not evade the
law. He does not say, “I know
somebody who can fix my ticket.’
• Laws necessarily change with
needs of the times. A good citizen’s
attitude toward a law which he
regards as unfair, unreasonable
and out of step with the times is
that of working to get it changed—
but obeying it while it is on the
books.
There is the letter of the law—
and the spirit of the law.
You cannot make men good by
laws, and the hope *of law and
order is grounded in the reverence
of a major
ity of peo
pie for jus
tice, truth
and good
ness. But,
in the final
analysis, a
law has
teeth in it
Using fed
eral offenses
as an example, one great historian
says,
/ ‘‘If you refuse long enough to
make out a correct income tax re
turn and refuse to obey an order
to appear in court, you will get a
touch of government power. Three
or four husky fellows will take you
by the scruff of the neck and the
seat of the pants and hustle you in
to a police van motored by the
power of internal combustion.”
To guard against hasty and ill-
advised action or the concentration
of powers in any one man or body
of men, a system of checks and
balances is provided ’by the federal
constitution. Of these:
It would take six years com
pletely to replace the elected
branches of the federal govern
ment composed exclusively of
members of one party by the mem
bers of another.
This is due to the fact that:
The President is elected for four
years; the members of the house
of representatives are elected every
two years, and one-third of the sen
ators are elected every two years
but for •». six-year term.
Laws passed either by the sen
ate or by the house of representa
tives must be approved by a ma
jority of the other body.
The President can veto laws en
acted by congress, and his veto
can be overridden only by a two-
thirds vote of each house.
The courts have the right to in
terpret laws passed by congress and
to review the legality of acts of of
ficers of the government charged
with the administration. In many
cases the courts have held acts of
congress invalid as being in con
flict with a provision of the consti
tution.
The senate has the power to re
view and reject Presidential ap
pointments of diplomatic, judicial,
and certain other officers of the
government, as well as the power
to approve or reject treaties with
foreign governments.
The house of representatives has
the power to impeach and the sen
ate the place of trial and to re
move from office all civil officers
of the United States including even
the President.

THE
FICTION
CORNER
TABLES TURNED
By Richard H. Wilkinson
F LIRTING was second nature
with Deborah Bellamy. No one
would have guessed, after one
glance at her gay, laughing face,
after one look into her mocking,
tantalizing eyes, that inwardly she
was afraid.
Afraid that
sometime some
one of her vic
tims was going
to turn the
tables. That is to say, she knew
that one day she was going to fall
in love with one of the men with
whom she flirted. And that, she
knew, would be the end. The end
to all her gay, reckless happiness.
She never dreamed—that this man
would prove to be a cowboy, named
Lon Fairweather.
Deborah had joined a party who
planned a month’s vacation at a
dude ranch in Wyoming. Lon was
the foreman. He was tall, fair,
handsome. After one look into his
sober blue eyes, Deborah began to
lay her snares.
Lon was different, but he was
also human. Hence he succumbed
to her wiles, just as had the others.
The night he told Deborah of his
love they were seated on a high
boulder overlooking a hemmed-in
lake.
Something about the beauty and
grandeur of the scene stirred De
borah’s soul. She found herself
listening to Lon’s love-making
more soberly than was her cus
tom.
“Oh, Lon,” she said a little
breathlessly, “Not now . . .”
She pushed him away and ran up
the path toward the ranch house.
Once back in her room she faced
herself in the mirror and laughed.
BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET
Television Versus IQ-lt Can Be Made Cultural Medium
By BILLY ROSE
As an old blab merchant, I seldom pay much attention to the
other fellow’s speeches, and when I do it’s generally to take um
brage rather than notice.
This week, however, I’d like to turn coat and tables on myself and do
some hefty hollering about a speech on the future of television recently de
livered by Dr. Millard Faugbt, an economist, at the University Club of
Chicago. I happened to pop-eye a copy of it the other day, and while I
haven’t the space to give you the whole 4,000 words, here’s a bit of the
cream off the top . . .
Billy Rose
To begin with. Dr. Faught ax
ioms that TV can be used for a lot
of things besides selling eyewash,
mouthwash and hogwash, and in
sists that its full
potentialities will
never be realized
if we allow it to be
taken over lock,
stock and antenna
by the hucksters.
In his opinion, the
new dingus can do
an unprecedented
job for us in a
dozen esthetic
fields providing, of
course, that a
method can be devised whereby
someone besides the advertiser
foots part of the bill.
The gimmick he suggests Is a
television box office operating on
a pay-as-you-see-it basis, and the
one he specifically mentions in his
speech—Phonevision—is due to be
tested in Chicago this fall with the
blessings of the F.C.C.
+ » •
LEAVING ELECTRONIC double-
talk out of it, Phonevision, which
was recently demonstrated for me,
is simply this: a system whereby
99 par cent of an image Is telecast
free of charge, hot shows up oa ths
home screen as so much hash. To
unscramble the picture one picks
up the phone and asks the operator
to pipe in the missing 1 per cent
through a gadget on his set hooked
up to his telephone line.
At the end of the month, the
charge for this service is included
In his phone bill, and the gross take
divvied betwen the television sta
tion, the creator of the program,
and the phone company.
According to Dr. P aught,
Phonevision—or some equivalent
device—will make it possible to
collect millions of dollars in a
single evening for, let us say,
the Red Cross by putting on one
nationwide benefit video show.
It will enable our sick-unto-
dearth Hollywood studios to quin
tuple their audiences and double
their grosses, and also make
Possible lO-million-dollar gates
for championship fights and
World Series games. But, opines
the good doctor, its most eye-
bugging impact will he on edu
cation.
By bringing the classroom into
the home. It will be possible for
100,000 students simultaneously to
take the same beginners’ course in
Spanish, or child care, or interior
decorating, whereas the average
class on campus today consists of
! from 25 to 50 students.
• • e
YOU-SEE revenue from these
home extension courses would pro
vide the monies for new university
buildings, laboratories, scholar
ships and teachers’ salaries, and
once and for all our colleges could
stop passing .the hat. Education,
the doc goes on to say, is our best
bet to stand off totalitarianism, de
spite which it’s probably the most
obsoletely merchandized comodity
in our society.
The economist stresses that he
has no quarrel with the adver
tisers, but maintains that if
they're the only source of reve
nue, TV is a cinch to wind up the
same sort of cultural pigmy that
radio is.
The living room, he argues, is
probably the room farthest re
moved from the marketplace, and
if Joe Jones and his missus want
something in it besides cornflake
and Cuticura commercials, they’ll
have to contribute the pennies to
make it possible. The government
could probably be pressured into
doing it for them, but who with an
IQ above zero, asks Dr. Faught,
wants political appointees messing
with our educational processes and
cultural preferences?
I particularly like the last line of
his speech: “Never in the history
of the communicative arts was
there a greater premium on fore
sight.”
She found herself listening to
Lon’s love-making a little more
soberly than was her custom.
In the days that followed Lon
persisted in occupying her thoughts.
Some what in desperation she cast
about for escape. And then a plan
came to mind. She’d ask him to
come to New York. She’d get him
on home ground, compare him with
the sort of life she was used to.
The idea seemed a good one and
strangely enough Lon agreed to
come—in the fall.
rvALL CAME, and she planned a
^ party. She invited all those who
had been at the Double O Bar that
summer.
Lon arrived in due time and
called at Deborah’s apartment. She
was h little taken aback at the ease
and grace with which ne wore his
smart new tuxedo, and in spite of
herself she thrilled when he swept
her into his arms.
The dinner was set for 8. At 7:30
the guests began to arrive. Lon
was surprised when he saw that
the men wore chaps and high-
heeled boots; that the women were
garbed in divided riding skirts and
gay-colored blouses. ■
A butler came to the door and
yelled: “Come and get it, cowboy 1”
Deborah felt a little uneasy as
Lon escorted her to her seat. Her
uneasiness grew as he looked
slightly puzzled upon discovering
there was no silverware at his
place save a broad-bladed knife. He
hesitated, watching in amazement
as the other guests picked up their
knives, and with suppressed chuck
les began to scoop up peas and
shove them into their mouths. He
watched as they poured coffee
from their cups and drank from
their saucers.
“I understand,” he said, looking
directly at Deborah. “And I regret
I can't appreciate the humor of the
thing. You see,” he added, “we
westerners have had it drilled into
us by you easterners, that we’re
crude and have no manners.
“But,” he paused and made a
little, perfunctory bow toward De
borah. “Now I know something
else; know that whatever other
manners you, folks might have you
don’t know the meaning of hos
pitality.”
And with this he carefully placed
his napkin on the table, ..ushed
back his chair and strode from the
room. _
“Lon! LonI” she called. “Please
come back. It was all my fault
I’m sorry. Please!”
But Lon was already through the
door and halfway down the stairs.
Above, on the landing Deborah
stood as if dazed. There was a ter
rible gnawing sensation inside of
her, a great, desolate, miserable
feeling. She knew then that Lon
Fairweather had been the man she
was afraid of meeting.
High Quality Hay
Cuts Dairy Costs
Feed, Labor 80 Percent
Of Production Cost x
Good pasture and high-quality,
low-cost hay will cut feed and labor
costs and greatly increase net re
turns for dairymen, declared Tim
othy Hodge, Michigan State College
agricultural economist.
Hodge estimates that feed and
labor expense represents 80 per cent
of the cost of keeping a dairy cow.
Ibe lower the feed and labor costr
can be made, the bigger will be the
dairyman’s net return.
Pasture and hay are the cheapest
teed a cow can get. Agronomists re-

port that 25 pounds of good alfalfa
hay will supply all the protein need
ed to produce about 30 pounds of A
per cent milk daily and furnish cal
cium, darotene and vitamin D as
well. Good pasture cuts labor ex
pense, because the cows do the har
vesting.;^
Three essentials needed to main
tain good pasture and get maximum
returns from pasture crops are: (1)
—a good legume-grass mixture best
adapted to your growing conditions.
(2)—-a fertile soil that will steadily
furnish a well balanced supply of
plant foods. Soil tests will show the
land’s need for lime and for phos
phate and potash fertilizer. (3) —
good management which rotates
grazing and avoids overworking
some areas whila others become
coarse and unpalatable. Good man
agement also involves harvesting
pasture growth at the peak of Its
protein value to insure high quality
hay.
Fanners Report New
Disease Among Pigs
A strange disease of little pigs
that makes them shiver, jerk and
sometimes “dance” is worrying
quite a few farmers.
What causes the condition is some
what of a mystery, the American
Veterinary Medical association
says.
It strikes newly born pigs. Some
of the affected animals merely
shiver and tremble. In other cases,
the pigs may not be able to keep
their feet still, resulting in an in
voluntary “dance.”
The latest report, by Dr. H. C. H.
Kernkamp, a research veterinarian
at the University of Minnesota, in
dicates that the disease, known as
myoclonia congenita, is still almost
as baffling to scientists as it was
when first described in 1922.
Electric Hired Hand
Electricity can lighten farm
chores and greatly increase pro
ductivity. How it’s done is shown in
a new color film, “Electrified
Farming” which has been released
by General Electric.
Crop dryers, barn cleaners, milk
ing machines, water pumping sys
tems, electric brookers, and venti
lating fans are cited as examples of
the widening use of electricity in
production on modern farms.
Soybeans Important Cash
Crop in Minnesota
Soybeans as a cash crop in Minne
sota responded to high prices dur
ing the war and post-war years. The
acreage harvested for beans in
creased from 30,000 acres in 1939
to 929.000 in 1947 and then dropped
back to 709,000 in 1949. Most of the
Increase occurred from 1944 to 1947.
In 19 counties 9 per cent or more
of the tillable land was in soybean!
harvested for beans In 1949.

Idle 'Chitchat
0/ Your
* * * Is Social Contact
MIND
By Lawrence Gould
Is “chitchat” a waste of time?
Answer: Not always, at any rate. ;
["here's a type of intellectual snob j
who feels it is beneath his dignity
to talk to the elevator man about
the weather or to exchange polite
nothings at a party. But these
often are the only practical ways
of making human contacts and let
ting our neighbors know we ara
aware of their existence. Saying,
“Nice day, isn’t it?” to someone
who has heard it twenty times al
ready may save him the hurt of
feeling that you don’t regard him
as important enough to be worthy
of your notice.
Con a wife help her husband
“succeed”?
Answer: Yes, but not all hus
bands need the same kind of help.
A man who grew up depending on
his mother to plan his life for him
might need prodding, if not nag
ging to spur him to do his best
work and stand up for his rights,
while one who at heart resented
and rebelled against parental domi
nation may ‘ (at least, unconscious
ly) resolve to “show bis indepen
dence” by being a. failure if he
feels his wife is trying to “make
him”' succeed. But to any normal
man a home where he is loved and
happy win be a real and effective
“inspiration.”

an habitual state of mind which in
fluences every act and feeling,
while “anxiety” is an acute reac

occurs only In specific situations.

KEEPING HEALTHY (
The Emotions and Skin Diseases
By Dr. James W. Barton
W E ARE FAMILIAR with the
effect of the emotions upon
certain organs of the body—rapid
beating of the heart, rapid breath
ing and stomach upsets. Recently
we have learned that attacks of
sfsthma are brought on by the emo
tions. However, many of us are not
prepared to agree with the state
ment that certain skin disturbances
and diseases can be caused by the
emotions.
As we think of the matter, how
ever. we must admit that if fright
can cause the hair to stand on end,
the skin to become clammy and
cold sometimes, and turn red at
other times, why then cannot the
emotions cause or aggravate skin
ailments by affecting the nerver
and blood supply of the part?
In “General Practice Clinics,”
Dr. A. H. Gottesman, Beverly Hills,
California, states that dermatolo
gists (skin specialists) are in gen
eral agreement that the emotions
and skin changes are often related
but controversy exist* as to the
nature of the relationship. “Do
certain types of skin diseases owe*
their origin to disturbances of the
emotional sphere?” they ask. “Or
are emotional factors .without any
significance in skin diseases?*
Dr. Gottesman and his co-work-
ers at Menninger clinic believe that
overconcern with «the question of
whether the emotions are the un
derlying cause refllly interferes
with the prompt treatment of the
skin disease. That the relationship
exists, to some extent, must be ad
mitted and treatment should be
given with this thought in mind.
Four or five methods of treatment
are then available: (1) Treatment
of the skin disease according to
symptoms present disregarding the
emotional condition of the patient
(2) Combined skin and psychiatric
'treatment by the skin specialist.
(3) Combined treatment by the skin
specialist and psychiatrist working
together. (4) Treatment by psychia
trist alone.
While infection is the commonest
cause of pain in the shoulder and

Tuberculosis experts have been
so successful that some tuberculosis

Because physicians are able to

should know this and consult their
physicians.
When emotional disturbances
