LOOKING AHEAD nr GEORGE S. BENSON k frltUfl?Htrdltf Cllllft I Surrf Jktkuntt Baited Hooks Two year* ago when national leg islation affecting schools was pro posed (S437) nobody who favored the bill ever called it the "federal school control bill." That alone would have defeated it No sincere friend of America's public schools wants them bossed by the national government. The thing was referred to always as "federal aid to educa tion." That sounded much better. But a great many people were not fooled at all. They had seen bait used to hide hooks before by polit ical as well as practical fishermen. Although the bill stated, right in Sec tion One, that It would be a nice little law if passed and not help any government man, or group of men, grab the schools and run away with them, the platitude was ignored by our sage and seasoned Senate. Amended by Senate On the floor of the Senate the "federal aid" bill underwent some changes. As changed, no part of the federal ftmds therein provided nor any part of the local funds there by supplemented could be used to make or maintain any distinction between races. That's federal con trol. beyond dispute. I am not dis cussing ths merits of the amend ment. I am saying this: Federal control will follow federal aid as night follows day. The subject Is alive again now. A committee in the House and another committee in the Senate are once more considering legislation that flies the flag of "federal aid to edu cation." Once more I am empha sizing that financial aid to local schools from far-away Washington will bring federal control of local schools in spite of all the protective clauses ever built out of words. It Is Federal Law The Supreme Court of the United States, the most powerful tribunal on this war-cursed earth, has estab lished a precedent in favor of fed eral control. The Supreme Court has ruled that the federal government can control that which it subsidizes. Little, prote^ng sentences in the preamble of lew legislation figura tively fade away in the light of this Supreme Court ruling. Some people may want to argue that federal aid to schools is not federal subsidy of schools. I main tain that any distinction between the two Ihings is a distinction without a difference. I have learned quite a little about these twin bills recent ly and about people who advocate their passage. The bills are prac tically alike and they point to gov ernment control like a compass poinui 10 uie norm. Hi6 EnUrinf Wtdfi Both bill* call for ? 300 million dollar annual outlay of federal fundi, and tt'i only a atart Testi mony of people who Journey to Washington boosting the idea la very clear. It translates the handwriting on the wall. They expect federal aid to grow rapidly after the first bill is passed. 1 also think it would grow in less than ten years from federal subsidy to federal control. I am opposed to federal aid there fore for several reasons: (1) It will lead directly to federal control ot education. (3) When the national government controls the local schools, the children's parents have nothing to say about what takes place at school. (3) If it happens, popular education, so dearly bought, will be nothing but a handy stepping ?tone toward political dictatorship. Economic Security Back in 1883 senators and repre sentatives In the Congress of the United States began drawing $8,000 a year; $100 a week. That was good pay 80 years ago but a flrst-clasa welder can do better now. Congress men have had two raises in salary since then. The leaf one was 30 years ago when they started earn ing $10,000 a year which was, at the time, a comfortable living for them. A great many executives in pri vate enterprise earn more money than senators although they do not claim superior ability. Why do our legislators not earn more? Because their salaries are fixed by law and they themselves are the gentlemen who make the laws. They could vote themselves a raise In pay but there is always reluctance to Introduce such h bill. Ifcreaghent Government There are politics in It, of course. Revenue measures never are popu lar. Congressmen who vote for a dip out at Mr. Taxpayer's pocket come to regret it on election day sometimes, even when the expendi ture was a wise one. That's exactly why employees in the Post Office Department haven't had a boost in pay since the congressmen did, a matter ot 30 years ago. . Wage rates in private I '? . *>? - have advanced from 43 cents to |1 an hour in the last 20 years. They have more than doubled. Informed au thorities say that living costs have gone up 30% or more during that time. Doubled pay for workers in private industry offsets the living costs that are about one-third high er, but what about government peo ple from mall clerks to senators? Ask (or Consideration One of the biggest newspapers in my state published an advertise ment recently, calling the attention of the people of Arkansas to the un happy plight of the postal em ployees who serve them. The dis play advertisement was bought and paid for by the postal workers them selves. In a diplomatic way they are asking their neighbors to help them ask Congress for better wages. I want to see the postal people earning more money. I favor the passage of currently proposed legis lation to boost the pay of senators and representatives 25% or better. I hope to see the day when a self-, respecting poor man can afford to represent his state in costly and wealthy Washington. These are de- J tails however. It is wrong in prin ciple that government employees wait 20 years for a raise. Dangerous Bureaucracy The important thing is that every ? ?? nnlte a <aK in nei WUIIUI1BU WW VjUiva ? jvu HI j/? | vate Industry to enter government employ gets his wage scale frozen. The change of work may bring more pay but that's temporary. Whoever works at that job a generation from now will probably be earning the same amount and spending a lot more to live. Remember that the laborer of today is earning senatori al pay for 1869. These facts are understood well by men of Industry and leaders in labor movements. It is encouraging to observe how the Labor-Management Charter, signed in Washington last March by labor union executives and prominent men of business, deals with the subject. In brief It states: Private enterprise is the necessary foundation for the welfare of labor As well as management. HOME CANNERS ASKED TO "CARRY ON" BY F.D.R. ma iooa ouuoos is so uar i throughout tha world that, in Janu ary, our habitually optimistic Pres ident asked Victory Gardeners and Home Canners to "carry on until the war is won." Since then we have been told over and over that the only sure way to have enough vegetables for our own use is to grow and can them. "But please," advises Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director for Ball Brothers Company, makers of glass fruit Jars, "before you put your shoulder to the'home canning wheel, take time to learn how Jars and caps should be used. It is also smart to plan ahead, to buy ahead, so that canning time will not find you scurrying around trying to find equipment needed for the job. You may not find your favorite jar and cap unless you shop early in the season or it may be that merchants don't keep them because other styles sell better. If your home is on the West Coast, you may not see any all-glass lightning type jars because most of your neighbors prefer a Mason jar with two-piece metal cap. The oppoeite is true of New Eng land; the lightning type is a best seller there. The majority of home canners in Southern, Central and Northern states have always de manded Madbns with one-piece sine caps. Zinc Cape Supply Uncertain "No zinc caps could be made at fKn Knnlnnlnn ft# (k* war Nfttar th* backlog of zinc hat grown larga enough to permit the manufacture of a large quantity of caps. Will there be enough to supply the de mand? That'* a Se?e?ly-Four Dol lar question ?nobody knows what tha demand will be. But, we do know labor la scarce and shipping facilities are not what wa would like them to be. "A great many jars will have Glass Top Seal (glass lid, rubber ring, metal screw band) caps. There will also be Mason jars with two piece metal vacu-seal caps?these are the ones with sealing compound flowed around the edge of the lid to take the place, of a regular jar rub ber. The nicest of the two-piece metal capa have dome shaped lids which pull down when a good vac uum seal takes place. "Half pints are being made and so arc wide mouth jars but neither is as plentiful as before the war. No matter what size borne can ning Jar and sty la cap you decide to use, no matter whether it is your first or fiftieth year of canning, it will pay to chooae a nationally known brand and to use It by the step-by-step instructions printed on the circular packed with the jars and on the cap carton. It cost the manufacturer money to supply those up-to-date instructions and It is like ly to cost home canners time, money, and precious food if instructions are not followed."

Wise Owner Teaches His Dog To Eat Only From Own Dish Proper Training Saves Much Unpleasantness; How to Go About It Described It's not easy to teach your dog to take no food save from his own dish, but no part of'his training will yield greater dividends, states the Gaines Dog Research Center, New York City. For one thing, says the Center, it will save you much trouble resulting from the dog's "pickin" things up" in h'j wanderings around town or coun try. Most dogs are inclined to take into their mouths or even swallow anything they come upon that ap peals to their sense of smell. There is little doubt that the germs of many illnesses, as well as a wide variety of worms, are thus introduced into the dog's system. Some dogs get into the habit of swallowing large solid objects which accumulate in the in i testinal track and must be removed by elaborate, expensive surgery later. Teaching the dog to eat only from his own dish pays off in other ways, 1 too. It eliminates "begging" at the ) table, which can be extremely em barrassing when you have company, and it makes for more friendly com J munity relations by doing away with I possible visits by Rover to neighbor i hood garbage cans. Most important ; of all, his refusal to take food from strangers may save his life whep aog poisoners are at worx, as tney are at some time ot other in many ! communities. Here is an effective method of teaching this particular food lesson 'to your dog. After he has eaten his meal, take him outside, and place a tempting tidbit in front of him. If he moves to take it, command "No" sharply. If this does not stop him, slap him on the shoulders or tind quarters with a rolled-up newspaper or magazine, at the same time keep ing up the command "No." Later ar range with a stranger to make the offer of tempting food. Continue the punishment until he has learned the lesson. Then take him, perhaps, for a walk through an alley where pieces of meat have been dropped. If he still moves to take the meat, or garbage or refuse, again command "No" and move as if to punish him. Before long he will realize what it is you are after. Training your dog to refuse food from strangers or to eat anywhere but out of his own special dish will come easier, of course, if he is kept regularly on a good food. A good food is described by the Center as one which is a complete meal and provides a balanced diet ? body building proteins, foods and fat for energy and protective vitamins and minerals.

The more of these elements a dog food contains in scientifically determined proportions, the better a dog food it is likely to be, it states. Male Dogs Outnumber Females Two to One Male dogs m America's homes out number females practically two to one, and the average age of all dogs is just about four and one-half years, it is indicated in a survey of 868 rep resentative homes made public by the Gaines Dog Research Center, New York City. The exact percentage of males in the U. S. dog population, as pointed up by the survey, is 63.6, and the average age 4.4 years. Another interesting fact brought to light by the survey, which was un dertaken for the purpose of ascer taining just how well the nation's dogs are faring under wartime con ditions, was that there are 1.22 dogs to the average U. S. dog-owning home. On an average rural farm families, of course, own more dogs than urban families. Farm families feed their dogs on an average of 2.3 times daily, as com pared with 1.7 times a day they are fed in urban homes. Eighty-two and three-tenths per cent of the families buy their dug food from grocery stores, while an additional 14.4 per cent of homa makers say they purchase it at feed stores. The survey also revealed that when a feeding problem is encountered the veterinarian is the one most often consulted. EXECUTRIX'S NOTICE.
