Every afternoon, , Monday through Friday "Slackers Prize Suckers” v v7 The editor of this newspaper hasn’t had toe pleas ure of meeting Bill Williams, a Greek who runs a restau rant in Goldsboro. In fact, we never heard' of toe fellow until a piece came out in the papers toe other day in which he expressed his views on the United States’ pay ment of ransom to Hungary for release of the four Amer ican fliers. We don’t know whether Restaurateur Williams was bom in America or in Greece. But we are convinced toit he has' a better concept of Americanism than a lot of other people, including some of the experts in Wash ington. “Suckers —prize suckers, that’s what we are,” > was Willims’ disgusted comment. “We keep shelling out to every country in the world for any and everything. We’re getting weak, losing our principles.” He said he was glad to see toe airmen freed, but de clared handing over the money was the wrong way to do it. “We should give the Commies a taste of their own med icine and stand up to them.” “Look at Turkey,” Williams said byway of illustrat ing his point. “When Russia demanded that they neu tralize toe Dardanelles, did that Small country give in? No, they stood up for their ideals.” Williams said America used to be like that—when Teddy Roosevelt talked with a soft voice but carried a big stick. Today we got a big voice, but there’s no sign of a stick, not even a little one.” The Greek thinks that payment of the money will lead to more blackmailing. “They know a good thing when they see it—they’ll keep asking and yfe’ll keep paying.” How would Williams get the U. S. airmen out of Hun gary? “By giving toe slobs some of their own medicine,'* pointed out Williams. “I don’t know'exactly how wg could nave itatii it . . . Maybe we could (have grabbed a couple of toe' Hungarian officials in Washington and thrown •- Ml jiairetmt mfr%£g>*f WE*n a tffal. likemt boys got.” ' s ' There you have it; a real American point of view spoken by an American of a foreign nationality. We hate to agree that somebody has made a sucker out of America, but toe fact is inescapable. More Than A Hatful A United Press reporter, writing a story on Chore nill’s departure for America, said cleverly that Churc hill was on his way to America “with his nat Oh his head and not in his hand.” Maybe so, maybe so.

It has been a disconcerting, at tlmea, a distressing year, par ticularly for Americans, who final ly had to recognize that they had been forced diplomatically and militarily ip to the second position. Ip 1945, we were the mightiest nation on earth; six years later, it l> impossible to make that claim. In 1945, we had many allies; in 1551, the trend of the world is toward neutrality. In fact, a new word has come into the language, neutralism. In 1945, we had ended a war in which the American peo ple believed themselves to have been the victors. In 1951, the American people know that they were not Victors. They know that while the United States fought the Far Eastern War and overcame the enemy, Russia gained the benefits; that While the United States, Great, Britain ahd Soviet Russia fought the European War as Allies, only Soviet Russia benefited. To the United States, the after math of the War has been a costly, disheartening enterprise; to Oreat Britain it has brought nothing but austerity, increased socialism and the loss of empire. For Russia, it achieved power. This is not a total loss to this Country, because awareness of the truth is in itself an advantage, tn 1951, it did hot develop that the people knew precisely what they wanted done; but it can be said that an increasingly large part of the American people knew, for sure, that the policies pursued. by President Truman, Dean Achescn and George Marshall had failed.. One result; of that decision was the elimination Os General George Marshall from the political life of th* American people. Every effort to force the resignation or dismis sal of Dean Acheaon failed; even the rejection of Philip Jessup by the Senate filled to keep him put of Office.

CRANE s | The “case method" is ideal tof Sunday school teaching. For morality is based on specific habits! The girls mentioned to day had been taught to be kind to their baby sister, but they hadn’t been taught to treat kit tens in a similar manner. So they are kind to the one but cruel to the other. CASE C-331: When our daughter Judy was 8, we bought her a pony named Queen. “Judy, I think it would be a good plan for you to take Queen over to the next farm and let those little girls ride her for a few days,” I suggested during the summer va cation. “Well, I don’t know If that’s such a good idea,” 12-year-old George spoke up. “When Philip and I were down there yesterday you should have seen the way they treated their kittens! “One of the girls hit her over the head with a big iron weed. Another threw her kitten at a chicken, just as if it had been a stone. “The girls also pulled their tails and sat on the kittens till I thought they’d be killed. “If they treat their kittens like that, they might be cruel to Queen too.” CRUELTY TO ANIMALS “Maybe they were just excited at having company," I encountered. “Yes, that was probably part of It,” George continued, “for they started running around and cutting up as soon as we got there. But just the same, I think we better leave Queen at home. The girls we were dicussing rang ed in ages from 7 to 4. There were three of them. They lived on a farm and didn't often get Into social groups for they seldom at tended even a Sunday School. With busy farm parents, they had probably been forced to rely upon their own ingenuity for games and recreation. Besides, they were stimulated by having George and Philip stop at their home.

DEAR MARTH HAWORTH; My husband Paul and I have been mar ried a few years, live in a farming community near his parents, and ' have a small child. Occasionally Paul has to be away overnight on business; and he thinks nothing of leaving the hired man alone In the house with the baby and me. I don’t think it looks right; , but Paid says I am silly: that people shouldn't gossip. I am sure they don’t see it his way. What Is your comment? The last time Paul had to be away I insisted that the hired man stay with his parents—who have a larger house, closer to his work. I don’t like to bother them; but they know about the situation and I see no other solution—as Paul won’t take the responsibility I feel he should. Also he is impatient when I remind him of other neglected obligations. , I am no gadabout, and am nor mally self reliant; but I had thought marriage was for sharing joy*, act ivities and religion as weU as work. When I ask Paul If we can go some place he always says “You can go.” Why doesn’t he want to go? I know he cares a lot tar me, as I do for him; but mostly I go alone, to shop, to church, or to see my parents—“sponging” rides from others. If we do go out together, he gets along fine socially; but when he gets home he says he has wasted his time.

These little girls had good par ents who had taught them to be kind to each other. But they hadn’t apparently ex tended this lesson to kittens. , ; Young people require many and varied normal examples if they are to reach maturity as cultured, eth ical adults. Children are naturally cruel, as are other animals at birth. Kind ness and sympathy are “learned" reactions. They depend upon teach- little girls will never be able to play the piano, either, un less they obtain some specific les sons in that regard. AU .chlldrjjp likewise require some specific les sons In kindness and sympathy. MORALITY IS SPECIFIC ... These little girls have a baby sis ter. Their mother has taught them to be gentle with her. But this lesson isn’t generalized to apply to baby kittens or puppies or baby chicks, etc. Bo they must have new lessons in regard to these other babies and dozens of similar creatures. A child may likewise, learn to play “Old Black Joe” on the piano, but she still will never play “The Star Spangled Banner” until taught this additional specific melodic pat tern. For habits are always speaitial It requires hundreds of DIFFHR ENT moral lessons before children become kind and sympathetic,...,: So don’t let your child grow UP like Topsy and then suddenly ex pect it to blossom into a gentle, unselfish person. “As the twig is bent,” runs.t&e old adage, and “human” twigs-ase always selfish at the outset. They will remain that way until train ed differently. Use the “case method” to speed up their education. --S.; (Always write to Dr. Crane l*j care of The Dally Record, en-; closing a long Sc stamper, ad-- dressed envelope and a dime to cover typing and printing costs ■ when yon send for one es hto phycholocteal charts.) • causes him to grapple compulsively with endless tattu. seldom ta—g time out for a change Os pae*.,.
