From the Page News and Cou
rier, Luray, Virginia: Millions of
people are digging their own
graves with their knives and
forks.
These 1 , citizens, perhaps as many
as 50 million, are victims of their
own appetites. They eat too much,
too often, and “too high on the
hog.” Despite repeated warnings
from health and medical authori
ties, they continue to eat all they
want—v|hich is often two helpings
more than they need.
The situation created by this
nation-wide practice of over-eat
ing presents, quite literally, a
grave problem. According to find
ings published by the National
Health Education Committee,
Inc., overweight is the No. 1 fac
tor in predisposing a person to
arterioscjlerosis, heart attack and
stroke.
Reinforcing the committee’s
study are facts and figures devel
oped by the Society of Actuaries,
which analyzed the survivorship
record of ordinary life insurance
policy holders for a 20-year pe
riod. It was found that, among
men 20 percent or more over
weight, mortality from heart and
circulatory diseases was 40 per
cent higher than among standard
risks. And that’s not all. Excess
mortality in the overweight group
topped 50 percent for cerebral
hemorrhage, 68 percent for diges
tive diseases and approximately
75 percent for nephritis.
Certainly a graph plotted from
life insurance statistics would in
dicate alarming expansion of the
national waistline—make it waste
line because, in this case, that’s
precisely what it is. It has been
said before that there is no better
way to expand the lifeline than
by reducing the waistline.
In almost every case, over-eat
ing is a habit. It may be forged
by those years and years of be-
tween-meal or bedtime snacks. It
may be traced to parental pleas
to “clean up that plate’’ or to
other causes.
But, whatever the origin, as a
habit, it can be attacked and
changed. And over-eating is dan
gerous enough in its long-range
effects to deserve an assault.
Medical and nutritional scientists
have developed nutritionally ade
quate means to combat excess
weight safely and effectively and
it’s high time more Americans
began the battle seriously.

PRESIDENT—NATIONAL
EDUCATION PROGRAM
Searcy, Arkansas
According to the Associated
Press reports, the annual conven
tion of the National Education As
sociation in DUenver heard a
panel discussion last June which
advised teadhers and educators to
fight back ajt “right wing extrem
ists.” This ^as the advice of sev
eral educators in a session on
“Thunder oii the Right and Edu
cation.” One, of the speakers lum
ped the “right wing” with the
Communists when he said that
the only w$y to counter all the
extremist revolutionaries is to
exxpose their methods.
Whatever happened to educa
tors who consider ideas? But
this is the way it goes. One of
the panelists, a prominent educa
tional leader, called upon “true
lovers of freedom” to challenge
“openly, aggressively, and unre-
lentlessly” their opposition. But
what opposition. The Commun
ists? No, he was calling for his
kind of action against Americans
who have been aiming the most
telling blows at Communism. Any
body who exposes the Red men
ace must be heckled and belittled.
Liberals Captured
This soit of thing makes it ob
vious that the Communists have
outfoxed the Liberals. Having won
them over to fight their battles
against the anti-Communists, they
continue to use them in their pur
poses of making Socialist Ameri
ca.
Many well-intentioned liberals
remain blind to the inroads being
mare with their help toward the
Socialist state. Many of them’
seem unaware that the policies
and ideas to -which they are de
voted coul lead us into Commun
ism.
Do the Communists bother to
support legislation that tends to
be socialistic? You can bet they
do! One has only to read their
publication, The Worker, to see
that they like anything that looks
like the welfare state or more
government spending. Do Com
munists work for the programs
they like ? Richard Arens, form
erly on the Un-American Activi
ties Committee staff, has said that
the Reds can pour 50,000 letters
into Congress in 72 hours, sup
porting any bill that resembles so
cialism. The support they are
able to obtain from Liberals is the
greatest hoax of our time.
Peaceful Conquest
Whittaker Chambers, comment
ed in his book, Witness, that when
he took up his sling and aimed at
Communism, he hit something
else. “What I hit,” he wrote “was
the forces of that great ‘Socialist
revolution’ which, in the name of
liberalism has been inching its ice
cap over the nation for two de
cades.”
Lenin vowed that the U. S.
would be forced to spend itself to
destruction, and now the promot
ers of the American socialistic
state are trying their best to fol
low through for him.
Is Mr. Khrushchev pleased by
our march toward socialism? Well,
apparently he is continuing t o
count on it to bring victory to the
Reds, for the Communists Party
here and in Russia has many
times urged our peaceful accept
ance of socialism through legisla
tion. Why should the Soviet army
undertake military campaigns,
when a little patience plus infil
tration can do a thorough job of
conquest ? The Reds have the ex
perience to prove that their plan
works. They think it will work
with America.
Internal Threat
Mr. Khrushchev has voiced this
idea many times. An example was
in a speech last June in Rumania,
quoted by the Associated Press:
“I am convinced that tomorrow
the Red flag will fly over the U.
S. But we will not fly the flag.
It will be the American people
themselves.” In other words, he is
counting on the internal factor of
apathy, negligence, misinforma
tion, and ignorance, plus the dis
service of misled Americans who
espouse socialism and who fight
his battles for him.
Moreover, Mr. Khrushchev is
counting on the U. S. to foster
socialism abroad, supporting it
with foreign aid. We have been
doing this for years, and of course
he appreciates it. In the name of
social justice and redistribution of
wealth, American taxpayers have
been supporting socialistic exper
iments around the world which,
if continued will destroy the in
stitution of private property.
Wherever this is done the Com
munists can then come on in with
their propagandists, saboteurs,and.
teachnicians and finish the job
without firing a shot. me

Boys Don’t Like Girls To Wea« Too Much Makeup
MY GIRL FRIEND
WEKRS A. LOT OF
*JUNK' TOO—
/
THE WEEK’S LETTER: “I am
a fourteen-year-old girl and I have
never had any trouble making
friends. I run around with the
most popular “gang” in my town.
When I became twelve, my
parents agreed that I could wear
a little lipstick. (Of course, I
begged and begged before I finally
convinced them I should). I only
wore it a few times before I
realized that I didn’t need it. A
young girl has enough color in her
face and need not overdo it. I
know that boys do net like to see
girls with a lot of makeup—too
many of them have asked me to
talk to their girlfriends about all
the makeup they wear. At four
teen, usually a little mascara and
eyebrow pencil is all a girl needs.
So, I say to girls: Don’t ever
think that you won’t be liked un
less you wear all the “junk” some
girls wear. Just wear only what
you need. The boys will think
more of you and the girls will
know that you don’t need to wear
it.—Nicky.”
OUR REPLY: Thanks, Nicky-
well said, and good advice.
Since our article on lipstick a
few weeks ago, we have had simi
lar letters from teenagers—to the
extent that we are convinced the
majority of teenage girls quickly
learn that too much makeup is
much worse than none at all.
It seems to follow much the
same pattern: when they first
start wearing makeup, they go
overboard: then very shortly
some good friend is kind' enough
to tell them the truth about what
they are doing to their an"**s»r-
ance.

A LESSON ABOUT MONEY
FOR YOU WHO WILL RETIRE
friends tell us we are
crazy to do what we are
about to do with our retiiement.
But money, houses, stocks and
bonds aren’t really important—all
of them can be replaced. Your life
can’t be. Every day of it that
passes is gone for good.
“So it is urgent, when retire
ment comes, that one pour into
life all the richness that can be
had, making each day overflow
with goodness and happiness . .
Thus begins the argument of a
man who has just passed his 60th
birthday and plans to retire at
62. He has some money. Those,
who don’t have much money and
are nearing retirement may find
some guidance in what he plans.
“My wife also is 60,” he con
tinues. “When we reach 62 we
both will ask for Social Security,
which, with my company pension,
will give us an income of roughly
$400 a month. We own our house, j
which is paid for and worth !
$18,000. We own our burial plot
in a perpetual-care cemetery. We I
feel no obligation to give our chil- j
dren or anybody else anything out'
of what we have.
“We own stocks, bonds and sav
ings worth $21,000. I have life
insurance which, at age 62, will
provide us a 10-year annuity of
$1200 a year.
“What we are going to do— j
and what our friends think is j
crazy—is to blow the works on ,
10 years of living .t up. Not drink
ing and carous ns but traveling

“We’U sell our house, figuring
on $16,000 net from it, and this
we’ll split into $1600 a year for the
10 years. Our savings we’ll split
into $2100. Thcirt two, plus the
annuity, will give us $4900, or
about $400 a month. We’U already
have $400 in regular income, so
our total wiU be nearly $10,000 a
year. This is more than I make
now on my job.
“At age 72 we will be wiped
out, except for the $400 income.
But in ifc^se 10 years we wiU have
had the richest segment of our
Uves. My wife and I both believe
we would then be content to sit
out the rest of the show. And the
$400 a month would be ample
for it.
“If one of us should die before
we reach 72—and so many people
do—we at least would have had
a grand try at life. If we Uve,
then when one of us dies after 72
the surviving income for either
of us would be over $200 a
month . ”
This is a pretty song But it
doesn’t make too much sense.
in the first place, the $800 in
come this couple expects for 10
years is not much money On the
luxury circuit of ocean cruises,
fine hotels, good clothes and
steaks it would buy second-class,
at best In a community of re
tired peopie who had $300 a
month it would be a big deal,
except that in such communities
there is nowhere for a big deal

From The Valley Farmer, Bay
City, Mich.: The federal govern
ment can’t run the nation’s farms,
and its ineptitude has been bril
liantly demonstrated by the fail
ure of one farm program after
another for the past 30 years. The
taxpayers now have a $2.7 billion
investment, not counting storage
and handling charges, in 1.4 bil
lion bushels of wheat and feed
grains—almost a three-year do
mestic supply.
It has been estimated that the
administration’s new farm pro
gram could cut wheat surpluses
225 million bushels a year. If ac
cepted by Congress and the farm
ers, die new plan will enforce
rigid production controls and mar
keting quotas on both wheat and
feed grains.
The Secretary of Agriculture
has said that a provision provid
ing jail sentences for farmers
who fail to keep proper records
will strengthen the program. This
highlights an interesting point
about benefits from government
that all groups seeking or accept
ing federal largess should take to
heart Federal control follows fed
eral money One thing is sure. If
you accept political favors, you
had better control enough votes
to put the fear of the polls into
the politicians granting them.
Otherwise the road may become
rocky, indeed. And how, jail is
suggested as an indoctrination
method—in the U.S.A.
There can’t be free farmers,
when government controls elimi
nate die free market system—,
agricilture will wind up as some
form of communal project, under
the thumb of a political boss. •
From the South Pasadena Re
view, South Pasadena, Calif.: De-i
mands for unreasonably short 1
work hours and higher and higher |
wages will be the incentive for;
the invention and use of more
and more labor-saving equipment.
Will the next step be to pay
some people for not working in
order to reduce a labor surplus
the same as some farmers are
paid to not plant in order to pre
vent overpi , oduction?
Our economy can stand the
strain of inflation up to a point
just like a balloon—then boom—
and we start over.
There is no hedge against a
wooden nickel.
