THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1953 THJE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE SEVEX V House Near Westminster Was Home of Horseshoe Robinson Know South Carolina WESTMINISTER—Situated near here is the house of one of the American Revolution’s fabled characters, Horse shoe Robinson—blacksmith, homespun philospher, soldier. Robinson is, remembered chiefly for his exploits at Mus- jcrrove’s Mill near Clinton, where, with the aid of the miller’s daughter, he rescued his commander from the clutches of the British after he, himself, had escaped. Horseshoe Falls at the site is named for him. Around his home before and after the war, Robinson was known for his homespun humor and common horse sense. He could spin a good yarn as easily as he could shoe a horse. Here is a bit of his philosophy: “There is some things in the world that’s good, and some that’s bad. But I have found that good and bad is so mixed up and jumbled together, that you don’t often get much of one without a little of the other. A sodger’s a sodger, no matter what side he is on; and they are the naturalest people in the world for fellow-fellowing. One day a man is up, and then the laugh’s on his side; next day he is down, and then the laugh’s against him.” SOREANS DISCUSS TRUCE . . .

McCarthy" ANSWERS Q. What is this business about your calling on ex-President Har ry Truman to testify before your Senate Subcommittee on In vestigations? A. For years it has been known that Prime Minister Mackenzie King of Canada came to Wash ington to give Harry Truman in formation vital to the security of the United States. I have written to the Attorney General to find out whether Truman has given that information to the new ad ministration. If he has not, I ex pect to invite him to appear be fore our Subcommittee for ques tioning. Q. To what was Mackenzie King’s information related? A. It was related to the Canad ian. spy ring which gave priceless secret information concerning nu clear fission and‘the atomic bomb to espionage agents of the Krem lin. Q. Were United States citizens involved in the Canadian spy ring? A. Yes. Mackenzie King is re ported to have given Truman the names of roughly 150 United States citizeens which were found in the notes or diary of one of the Canadian members of that spy ring. Q. How was the Canadian spy ring exposed? A. That is a long story; but I will outline its essential features. Igor Gouzenko, the code clerk of the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa, de cided to free himself from the clutches of the Soviet slaves state. After receiving an order to return to Moscow, Gouzenko talk ed the matter over with his young wife and together they mapped the daring plan whereby, for their own protection, he would turn over to the Canadian government docu mentary proof of the existence of a spy ring whose assignment was to collect and transmit to Soviet agents the secrets of the atomic bomb. Accordingly, one night in 1945, Gouzenko stuffed hundreds of documents under his shirt and rushed with them to the famous Royal Canadian Mounties. They examined his documents, gave him immediate protection, and saved him from “liquidation.” Q. What did the Canadian gov ernment do about the documentary evidence which Gouzenko turned over to it? A. The Canadian government acted promptly and effectively. A royal commission was set up, com posed of distinguished Canadian jurists. Gouzenko’s evidence was examined with the utmost thor oughness. The report of the Royal Commission was released in 1946. The names of the members of the spy ring were revealed to the Canadian public and to the world. Indictments were, handed down; and some of the Canadian mem bers of the spy ring were convict ed and received prison seatences, including . a member of the Canadian parliament. Q. What happened to Gouzenko? A grateful Canadian govern ment voted to give Gouzenko a 24- hour guard for the remainder of his life. It also exempted his in come, received from articles'about his daring exploit, from taxation. Q. What did Truman do about the United States citizens whose names were submitted to him by Mackenzie King? A.; That’s what I want to know. I think the people of the United States want to know. For that rea son, I have asked Attorney Gen eral Brownell if Truman turned these names over to the Depart ment of Justice, or if he con sidered this just another “red herring” to be treated as he treat ed the case of Alger Hiss.

She had ex perienced difficulty keeping up in the second and third grades of school and through many failures, semesters at boarding schools, and special tutors had graduated from high school. Mother, an immature woman who had used her master’s degree as an emotional crutch, was determined that the daughter should go to college and to gradu ate school and had pulled strings to coerce the junior college to ad mit her. Threats of repection if she failed kept the girl cramming hour after hour, memorizing ma terial whicti she did not under stand, until she could take it no longer and became mentally ill. Facing Reality Parents tend to extremes once they realize a child Is not as rapid to learn as others. Some become overprotective and oversolicitous, further crippling and incapacitat ing him. Others are so horrified at this supposed “taint” on the family name that they deny the problem and resort to driving the child beyond his ability, as was the case with Joan. Careful study of a young child should lead to guidance and training which would eliminate much early failure in school, as well as recognizing limitations up on the amount of school training indicated. Most communities do not have the clinical facilities that would make this possible, and only as parents demand it will they be offered. Average parents seem in a hur-' ry to enter their child in school; they seem afraid that he might get behind or be considered slow. Many children are not ready to enter the kind of schools we now have at six years of age. On the other hand, a few are ready at five, and parents, especially pro fessional people, tend to believe that their child is the exception. The only ultimate answer would be a clinical study of each child and a flexible school system. Both of these facilities have yet to be developed. Nursery Schools Nursery schools and kinder gartens can be of tremendous help or hindrance in the development of a retarded child, depending up on the leadership and methods of handling.

With air conditioners coming within the budget of so many fami lies, it’s a <*good idea for the housewife to forearm herself with practical information before the purchase is made. Rules for getting the most for your money when buying an air conditioner come from an expert in the held. According to him, there’s a common assumption that a room-air-conditioner of a given size will air-condition any room of a certain floor space. This is quite untrue. ^ > The first consideration, even before thinking about the size, should be the room’s exposure The number and the size of the windows in the room, it’s location in the house, construction of the house, and whether the unit will be operated during the tlay or only at night, comprise four very important factors. Perhaps you have an upstairs bedroom in an uninsulated frame house with a southwest exposure and no shade. You want to air- condition the room during the daytime hours only This is the most difficult kind of room to cool. Compare it to a downstairs living room on the north side of a brick house. Even though both rooms are the same size, the upstairs bedroom will take a larger unit to pump out the heat that flows into the room. But there are other considerations, such as the number of people who normally octupy the room, and the height of the ceiling. In addition, remember that it’s a poor idea to let direct sunshine into the room you want to air-condition. The use of awnings, jalousies, or blinds will help cut the unit’s operating costs. By checking these points with your dealer, you may prevent the waste that results from buying a room-air-conditioner that’s too small or too large. Match the unit to your room’s requirements and it will perform both efficiently and economically - ■-.'A A console model air conditioner like this one will cool a large room or several small ones child becomes merely a name and a body to be fed and guarded, or forced into a mold, and succeed where the child is a personality to be led out according to his own inner drives and traits. Efforts to teach subject mat ter and reading skills here are likely to be too early for his de velopment, or to clash with the methods used in the public schools he must attend. In either case, the frustration is so great as to be near fatal for his career as a stu dent. There is a rash of “pre schools” now, most of which con sist of a house and some time by an adult who needs to make a liv ing. Many public school problems either originate or are aggravated here. It is necessary that some system of licensing and control for maintaining high standards be established fqr all homes and schools where pre-school children are cared for even part of the day. Personality Development Organized play, self-expression through art and rhythm, all stimu late personality growth. As some one has said, “Personality before scholarship in order to have later . . ; scholarship with personality.” It sounds like putting a tremen dous load upon the pre-school teacher, but the best - clinically trained leader here, working co operatively with parents, could By TED RESTING People aren’t supposed to have trouble with spinning equipment but they do. And Jason Lucas thinks this can be traced to the fact that what is called spinning should be called threadlining. If the fixed-spool method were called threadlining (it is in Eng land), putting emphasis right at the start on the fact that it’s in tended for and can be done satisfactorily with very light linea only, one of the chief causes of trouble would not even exist. Since too-heavy lines cause most of the dissatisfaction with spin ning, suppose we begin by dis cussing them. Monofilament or braided line?

Most experts agree that for a regular fresh-water fixed- spool reel, a four-pound mono fil line is the lightest practical for most types of fishing and casts fine. * Be sure you put the line on the reel correctly. This means using slight tension and being sure the line works in a figure 8, coming from the bottom of one spool to the top of the other or vice versa.
