GOOD CITIZEN
Principles of Good Citizenship
Must Be Practiced in Own Home
This is the last *f a series ef 10
articles from the booklet '‘Good Clt-
Isob" published by The Amerlean
Heritage Foundation concerning the
rights and dntles of an American.
The ninth promise of a good citi
zen: I will practice and teach the
principles of good citizenship right
in my own home.
Our country, when you come right
down to it, is just a lot of families.
In the family are cradled the
cardinal virtues that enable good
families to
add up to a
great nation—
standards of
conduct, r e -
spect for the
rights and
property of
others, loyal
ty, health, tol
erance. coop
eration, self-
reliance, good
breeding and a sense of the fitness
of things.
By INEZ GERHARD
A S»BY LEWIS appears regularly
on four NBC shows—“Road of
Life,” “Eternal Light,” “The Big
Story” and “Storyteller’s Play
house,” portrays cooks, crooks,
young girls and old women with
equal ease. She sometimes does
two very different characters on
ABBT LEWIS
the same air show. Abby gives the
credit for this ability to her father,
who was a preacher and missionary
in New Mexico when she was a
child. She often tagged along on his
missionary trips, and afterward im
personated the people she’d met
that day.
“The Goldbergs,” which has al
ready been on radio, television and
the stage, and is now being made
into a picture by Paramount, will
crop up next as a novel. Gertrude
Berg, its author and star, will write
the book.
"Infonnation Please,” granddad-
dy of the quiz shows, might better
have remained in retirement, if the
programs heard since its return to
the air are an indication of what
we may expect. That painful, futile
effort to be funny gets pretty tire
some. In comparison with shows
like NBC’s “Who Said That?” and
American Broadcasting’s “Cliche
Club” it comes out badly.

In principle, the family must be
the keystone, the microcosm, the
atom-that-can’t-be-split of our re
public.
Democracy must be based on
homes where the interests of man,
woman and child receive equal con
sideration.
Whether in a crowded rooming
house or on the farm, / the answer
must come from men and women
of intelligence and good will who
look on the successful maintenance
of a family as one of the greatest
acts of good citizenship.
Just as democracy starts in the
home as an obligation, it ends there
as a reward. To the degree that all
the other duties of citizenship have
been fulfilled, your home will be
your castle, secure from the threat
of confiscation, and those in it safe
from detention camps and firing
squads. N
• • •
OTIS WIESE, editor of McCall’s
Magazine, said in an article, “The
home, we all agree, is the founda
tion of the social structure. And
women are the bed rock under that
foundation. Any woman who
achieves success as a mother has
a more pervasive influence over
the next generation than any cell
of Communists. And her mother’s
mite certainly outweighs in social,
significance the manufacture of mil
lions of can openers.
“The home, in effect, is the trans
mission belt of our culture, for it
is there that the child learns its
first lessons. It is the place where
our social health is either insured
or undermined insidiously . . .”

IN CONCLUDING this series of
articles, one way to measure the
results of our system is to add up
our physical and cultural gains in
everything from bathtubs to sym
phony orchestras. Although it has
only 6 per cent of the world’s popu
lation and less than 6 per cent of
the world’s land area, the United
States has:
Seventy-two per cent of the
world's motor vehicles, one for
every four people. 286,000 miles of
paved roads.
231,481 places of worship, repre
senting 55 religions or denomina
tions.
More than 61 per cent of the
world’s telephones, one for every
4% people.
208,235 public schools, 1,720 col
leges and universities — schools for
nearly everybody.
Forty-eight per cent of the 1
world’s radios, one for every 2%
people.
Ninety-two per cent of the world’s
bathtubs, one for every six people.
6,511 public hospitals.
Eighty-five per cent of the world’s
commercial air traffic.
258,465 miles of railroad trackage,
more than all Europe, including
Russia in Asia.
Sixty - four major museums of
art, science and history. Twenty-
three symphony orchestras. 650
music societies.
31,015,000 homes wired for elec
tricity.

IRANGE SPECTACLES
CORNER
By Richard H. Wilkinson
O N THE MORNING of Aug 4th,
Sandra Hunter glanced through
her bedroom window and saw a
strange spectacle. Between the
great white house and the street
was a wide expanse of lawn, and
this lawn was at present occupied
by a young man pushing a lawn-
mower.
Sandra didn’t
know what to
make of it. She
r e m e m b e red
that her mother
and father were away for the week
end and that the servants were in
the rear of the house.
By the time she had dressed and
ventured outdoors, the young man
had finished his mowing and was
resting in the shade of the veranda.
“Will you kindly explain what this
is all about?” said Sandra.
“I just mowed your lawn as it
should be mowed.”
“Should be mowed?” Sandra
puckered up her brow. “What
do you mean, ’should be
mowed'? Who are you? And
where is Rufus, our gardener?”
“I’m Jerry Leonard. I bribed your
gardener this morning to let me
mow your lawn. You see, I have to
drive by your house every morning
on my way to work, and every morn
ing I'Ve noticed that Rufus cuts the
lawn unevenly.”
“Well of all things!”
“Besides, I’ve been wanting to
meet you since last June.”
“Meet me?”
“Yes. My mother and I moved
into the old Saunders place last
June and, the day after, I saw
you and decided I had to meet you.
“I’ve been hoping yon’d speak
to me for ever so long,” Sandra
said, “but you gave the impres
sion of being rather high hat.”
I noticed your lawn and thought of
the idea of bribing Rufus. It war
like killing two birds With one
stone.” He grinned. “I knew your
father and mother were going to be
away.”
“Why, the very idea! I—I can’t
believe you’re serious.”
Jerry Leonard scratched his head.
“I was never more serious in my
life. Shucks! I’m sorry if you feel
the way you look.”
“The way I look!” Sandra began
to wonder how she did look.
A dozen retorts came to mind but
they all seemed flat and inadequate,
almost silly. She hesitated for an
instant longer and then turned
abruptly and strode back to the
house.
Jerry Leonard watched her go
and into his face there came a look

BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET
Uncle Charlie s Luck Is Bad, Bandit Crosses Him Up
By BILLY ROSE
Last Friday night on the way home from his weekly pinochle
session, my Uncle Charlie was held up a few blocks from his home
on Alien Street and a wallet containing $13 was taken from him.
This misadventure, strangely enough, has made my Aunt Frieda
very happy, and with your leave and license, Td like to tell you
why . . .
v To begin with, to hear my uncle tell it, Frieda is crazy like a fox
about most things, but when it comes to fortune telling and allied super
stitions she’s crazy like a crazy. This, of course, in Charlie’s own words,
“drives him to destruction,” particularly when my aunt shells out good
money for such charms and amulets as lucky horse-tail hairs and pieces
of string with seven magic knots.
“I can’t understand,” I once
heard him tell her, “how a distinct
twenty - century 4
type ^ke you could
potsky around with
such superstitions.”
“Century, schmen-
tury,” Frieda an
swered. “What was
good enough by my
grandm ot h e r is
good enough by
me.”
“So why didn’t
you marry your Billy Resa
grandfather?”
“So when I look at you, that’s
who I’m thinking I married.**
• • •
THE MATTER CAME to a crisis
last Friday when Charlie arrived
home from the shop and Frieda
asked him for 10 dollars.
“Only last week I am giving you
16 dollars,” he exploded. “What
you making, a down payment on a
Cadillac?”
“A catalogue I am not needing,”
Frieda sassed back. “Today I am
purchasing from a certain Gypsy
a brass fish with the sign from
Zoroaster which is absolute guar
anteed to make a party healthy,
wealthy and wise, and also rich.”
Charlie examined the brass ob
ject. “To me it looks like a tin
herring,” he said. “Where is living
this Gypsy?"
"In tb* bach of a start on Suf
folk strett, and her 1 am trust
ing complete? said Frieda.
"F’rmstanct, when Mrs. Festal*
son was expecting, the Gypsy
told bar to sew up the stuffed
derma with black thread for a
boy and white thread for a
girl, and when she used the
black, you saw what happened
—a boy"
“It occasional takes place,” said
my uncle patiently, “that a boy
comes in the world without black
thread in the stuffed derma.”
The upshot of the argument was
a decision to put the magical fish
to a practical test, and when Char
lie went out that night for his week
ly pinochle session, the good-luck
charm was in his wallet. If he lost,
it was agreed Frieda would stop
patronizing Gypsy establishments;
If he made a killing, however, he
was to have more faith in her
theories.
WELL, AS IT turned out, my
uncle won ten dollars which, added
to the three he started out with,
gave him a take-home total of thir
teen. Reluctant to face gloating
Frieda, he took a roundabout way
home.
A few doors from a drugstore on
Rivington Street, a hoodlum step
ped out of an alley and stuck him
up.
“Could you return, please, the
pocketbook?” said Charlie “Is gen
uine alligator leather.”
“Scram,” said the hold-up man.
“or I’Jl bust in your head.”
“A pleasure,” said my uncle po
litely. “Cherry-ho.”
When Charlie got home, Frieda
was considerably shaken by the
story of the stick-up, and was
forced to admit that the brass gee-
gaw was a flop. But the next morn
ing she gave my uncle the horse
laugh when the mailman dropped
off a small parcel with the wallet
in it, its contents Intact. There was
also an unsigned note.
"Dear Mister — When l see
you got the Fish of Zoroaster, I
decide to send everything back
because I have dealings with
such fishes before and donft
want no part of them. Besides,
when l count up the money f
find 13 dollars exactly. I know
when I’m licked"
“See?” said my aunt. “On ac
count of the brass fish, everything
is turning out hunky-totsy.”
“Maybe,” said my uncle, “but to
me it still smells from herring.”
T HROUGHOUT the day Jerry was
conscious of a forlorn misery.
All his carefully formed plans had
proved fruitless. At 5 o’clock he
drove home via a route that did not
take him past the Hunter estate.
Leaving his coupe outside in the
drive he entered the cottage by the
rear door and found a note on the
kitchen table, left there by hia
mother, which advised him that she v
had gone to a church supper and
that if he didn’t want to come too
hb’d find some warmed-over things
in the oven.
Jerry moodily ate the warmed-
over things and afterward stepped
outside to smoke a cigarette. He
was about to ease himself comfort
ably onto the doorstep when he
chanced to glance toward the drive.
He blinked, rubbed his eyes, swal
lowed. “What the devil!” he said.
As be approached, the girl
who had been washing the auto
mobile’s wheels straightened up
and stood oft to survey her :
work. It was Sandra Hunter.
“What the dickens,” said Jerrv,
“are you up to?”
“Oh,” she said. “Hello.” She ges
tured toward the coupe. “Dirty
wheels. Been getting on my nerves
for weeks.”
“Wha—what?” said Jerry.
‘Tve noticed you driving by every
day from my bedroom window. Rest
of the car looks fine, but you always
seem to forget the wheels. Very an
noying.” *
Jerry puckered up his brow. Ha
peered at the girl very Intently. His
face was grave. He said. “Is that
all?”
“No,” said Sandra. ‘Tve been
hoping you’d speak to non for ever
so long, but you gave thf impression
of being well, rather high hat. This
seemed like a logical method to
promote friendly relations,” she
grinned. “You see, I knew your
mother was away.”
Egg Profits Down
During Hot Months
Poultrymen Recommend
Close Culling of Flock
On the average, poultrymen fail
to realize a profit above feed costs
during July, August and September
because of low egg production per
hen. For example, during this pe
riod in 1949, the average monthly
production per hen for the United
States was 13.2 eggs. As a rule,
poultrymen who maintain an aver-
Poor layers and culls show
Uttie activity and are often

day.
age egg production per month of 15
or more eggs during this period,
realize a profit.
When the profit margin gets slim,
it’s poor business to cut down on the
laying mash, or take it away en
tirely, with the expectation of bring
ing the hens back into production
later when egg prices pick up. The
solution to the problem of increas
ing profits requires close culling of
flocks. Get rid of the “boarders”.
Poor layers, as well as non-lay
ers, can be spotted by certain phy
sical characteristics, such as “crow
heads,” pale, shriveled, sdaly
combs, yellow beaks, yellow legs
and clean feathers. A good layer
will, have large red comb and wat
tles; an enlarged, smooth, moist
vent; and well spread, pliable pin
bones.
Poultrymen who start culling now
will increase profits. Cull often and
closely and sell the culls while they
still have good body weight Then
feed the remainder of the flock a
good laying ration.
Scientists Conclude
*Calf Parasite Study
A study of the parasite infestation
of calves on pasture has led C. D.
Grinnels and J. L. Moore of North-
Carolina Jo three main conclusions:
(1) calves udder ten months of age
should not be turned on pasture;
(2) calf pastures should be rotated
to reduce the parasite intake; and
(3) calf pastures should be grazed
part of the time by horses, mules
or by mature cattle.
Parasite populations build up very
rapidly on calf pastures, the Inves
tigators found. The increase was
most rapid on heavily grazed plots,
these showing almost double the
parasite population as the lightly
grazed plot.
Calves under ten months are ex
tremely susceptible to parasite at
tack. Rotating pastures and grazing
them with mature animals cuts
down the population. Mature cattle
have an age immunity.

try are reporting damage, run

Feed Grinding For Small
Pigs Is Not Economical
Dick Carlisle, livestock special!#
in the Illinois College of .Agriculture
reports that pigs under 150 pound:
chew their food so well that farmen
seldom save enough feed by grind
ing to pay for the cost of grinding.
But for hogs above 150 pounds
grinding will save about five per
cent of the corn. If the cost at grind
Ing 100 pounds is less than the valui
at five pounds, it pays to grind fa
hogs over 150 pounds.
