Every now and then, the news papers tell us of a wealthy person, who lives like a pauper and dies from malnutrition. Early this month, in Miami, Florida, following the death of a woman who had lived in a house for eight years, police found $20,000 in cash and nearly $80,000 in negotiable securities. The woman died in a hospital after being sent there by neighbors, who found her suffering from malnutri tion. If anybody thinks that they under stand human nature, they might come forward with an explanation of this type of behavior. Childish Conflicts Every young child is trying to exist under two sets of laws, declares Dr. C. Anderson Aldridge, pediatri cian, who suggests that parents con front a lot of needless problems in bringing up young children. Dr. Aldridge points out that child ren naturally obey the laws of growth, "more ancient than the race", which work from within. On the other hand, laws of social order, re cent and differing in localities, are imposed from without. The conflict between these laws requires adjust ment. Consequently, Dr. Aldridge sug gests reliance on persuasion, guidance and example rather than on corporal punishment or force. He thinks that corporal punishment has failed to get proper results in the education of children over the years. Federal Workers During the fiscal year, 1948, which closed June 30th, the average civilian employment, in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, was 2, 032,600 workers. This was about sixty per cent of the 3,465,420 average in 1945, the peak year of the war. While the number of employes has been increasing recently, there has been a considerable decrease since the war emergency. Whether the Government needs more than two million employes is a matter beyond us, but a break-down of those em ployed and where they work suggests that as long as the people -demand that the Government "do everything" there will be millions of government al employes. ing subjects upon which nothing can be accomplished. In addition, it is pointed out that the number of international confer ences would be greatly reduced if the agenda of the Council is limited. The United Nations budget has practical' ly doubled in two years, largely as a result of the innumerable conferen ces which, these critics say, have been- premature and without results. BIRTHDAY DINNER ' A birthday dinner was given Sun day, August 8, by the children of Mrs. Annie Lane in honor of her 60th birthday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Louis Proctor, of Hertford.

LOOKING AT WASHINGTON (Continued From Page Three) The information that comes from Europe is somewhat conflicting, with EJIK Land Of Freedom? The next thing you know, some body will be getting a petition in Congress to provide freedom for steers. Recently, a noble animal, penned in a railroad car at Philadelphia, broke loose, vaulted a wall and enjoyed liberty until police fired 150 shots to bring hrn down. The incident will afford ample jus tification for the allegation that the people of this country are unkind to steers and that the animals crave more freedom. After all, isn't this the land of freedom? Covers Too Much Ground After meeting for two weeks in Geneva, the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations is bog ged down in its agenda, which in cludes forty-eight items. Only five subjects have been discussed during two and a half weeks. This situation has brought forward the suggestion that the organization loses much of its usefulness in at tempting to spread-eagle over so many subjects, upon which it can have no effect For example, a re porter points out that the Council spent twenty hours ' wrangling over a report of the, Commission on the Status of Women, which will lead to no action on the part of any govern ment or body capable of doing any thing about the subject. Consequently, some of those who , are friendly to the United Nations and its purposes suggest the number of specialized agencies and commis sions must bo drastically cut. This of special interests, but, unless some will, of course, arouse the opposition thing of the kind is done, the Coun cil wiH spend most of its time debat- ' v For You To Feel Well 24 houn every day, 7 days every week, never stopping, the kidneys filter waste matter from the blood. If more people were aware of how the kidneya must constantly remove sur plus fluid, excess acids and other waste matter that cannot stay in the blood without Injury to health, there would be better understanding of why the whole system is upset when kidneys fail to function properly.

At ail drug stores. some writers asserting that the Euro pean countries are showing no indi cation of the cooperation necessary to make the E. R. P. - succeed. In fact, there is something heard about the "sacrifices' that these nations will make as condition for receiv ing the money of Uncle Sam. It is very difficult for a person not on the inside of the Government circle to determine just what is the truth in connection with such asser tions. Certainly, if the European nations fail to make any effort to improve their economic conditions, Administrator Paul G. Moff man would not hesitate to advise the Gov ernment of the United States. Without knowing the facts and without being able to conduct an in vestigation, there is nothing for us to do but to leave this matter to res ponsible officials and hope that they will work it out in a proper manner. qassified and Legate LADIES REFINED, 3 TO 6 HOURS per day, five day week, car neces sary, no canvassing. $50 to $100 per week.
