Dixie Grits Mania Alienates Allies Fervent squawks from this quarter last year anent the forcible feeding v of grits to unsuspecting visitors to the Deep South seem to have had no effect. Indeed, evidence lately come to public notice has it that this quaint cus tom which prevails in much of the former Confederacy is even causing bad blood with our allies across the seas. Charles Gray, goodwill ambassador for Grosvenor House in London, related feelingly in Richmond recently how when breakfasting in a North Carolina hosterlry he didn’t enjoy his meal at all because the waitress insisted on giving him grits. “I didn’t order this,” Gray told the lady when she set the dish down. “Oh, it comes with the meal,” was the reply. “It’s free.” “But I don’t want it,” quoth Gray. “I’ll leave it anyway, sir,” said she. It spoiled his repast, said the Londoner. He didn’t eat the grits, and he was stared at because he didn’t. All in all, a most unfortunate affair. That’s apparently what we’re coming to alt over. Restaurants almost everywhere in the Deep South (and in North Carolina, too, to judge from Mr. Gray’s experience), are alienating furriners from Virginia and Massachusetts, as well as those from London and Belgrade, by pushing grits at them, willy nilly. ' Dp it asking too much to suggest that restaurants in the cotton States hereafter give the customer the option of taking grits or not taking them? Why douse him with this none-top-delectabie dlsn without asking his permis sion? In addition to the fact that it is highly annoying to the breakfaster <* diner to have something forced on him that he didn’t order, vast) quantities of grits must be left unconsumed on plates by-persons who mil to appreciate the sterling qualities of this decoction. It’s high time, then, in the interest net only of inter' sectional good will, but also with a view to promoting con servation, to say nothing of sanity, that far Southern res taurants stop infuriating the customers by practically ramming grits down their throats. Charles Gray’s experience show* the way events are moving. Our allies overseas are sufficiently down on us already. If this keeps up, we may end by not haying any allies at all.

Due to in law trouble, my wife divorced me in 1041, after we had been married for 23 years. My wife is a fine woman ‘ and I know th«t-she will never remarry, owing to tbe attitude of her church, which does not sanction marriage for divorced persons. The immediate problem involves a youn, woman, 19 years my Junior, who is so madly in love with me that she is making my life miser able.

These Days By SoJtal&Au THE MEDICAL COLLEGES Most of us worry about the un important things, the ephemeral, but many really important mat ters pass unnoticed. A most seri ous problem that faces the Ameri can people is the possibility that many of ow medical school* may be forced to close down or to cur tain their services. This can leave our country without adequate fa cilities to produce the next gen eration of physicians, surgeons, psychiatrists and other specialists in the field of medicine. There are 79 medical schools in this country. They are practically , all in serious financial stratls. Tui tion fees, it is reported, have been raised to the limit. The same re port says that because of the re duction of the teaching staff and the impairment of teaching pro grams, teaching ‘time has been cut by seven per, cant sine* a 4*«tee* ago. Several schools are now de bating whether they can continue; some may be forced to close down or to become State institutions. Each year the 79 medical schools of the country educate 27,000 stu dents, graduating about 0,600 doc tors. No matter how high the tui tion fees may be, no medical school is able to pay its own way. Ia ad dition to these regular students, the medical schools provide re-, fresher courses for 17,000 prac - ticing physicians and train about 11,000 specialists in all fields. Each medical school must have laboratories and research depart ments, which are xery expensive Sometimes private corporation* sup port these research departments, but these costs are never quite covered as new discoveries require the purchase of expensive teaching aids. For Utatonee, a mode* elec tronic microscope costa $200)00; in the old days, a cost a few dollars. Many new in struments, each costing thousands of dollars, have to be acquired if a medical school Is to be of real value, not only as a teaching but also as a research center. A committee has been organized to appeal ftg fund* to rescue the American medical schools from ob solescence and. in sdhis cases, dis appearance. This committee is headed by S. Sloan Colt and Colby M. Chester _and it is devoting it self to the raising of 110,000,000 a year to feed these medical *et)ooi* SO that Ntor can continue to func tion properly In their fields. The alternatives are that the goirpm ntent take over medical school* as they go bankrupt or that as these schools fail, an increasing number of Americans go to Europe where they can get training in their field, often not up to the standards to which we have become accustom ed in this country. During the past half century and up to the present period of distress, the American medical aehbol rose to a, wry high estate, so that many believed that our medical schools were the beat in the world. The present appeal is being made to corporations which, under the tax laws, are permitted to contrib ute to such funds with income tax allowances. A breed, general ap peal is not being now in the hope that the gifts from business conoems will hi sufficient to meet these requirements. Be cause of tbe great number pf oth er appeals being made directly to the American people, it was felt that this appeal would be limited to corporation* for the present. One would imagine that some of the huge Foundations could pro vide this entire sum without the disadvantage of being investigated date. When the cur those in charge are in relation to the best Interests of tbe United States. Os course, these people have the Jsg*i right to SMto , Ejejtioney they control as t*sy ~ . IBM DAILY RECORD, A ~ BUawjfcsH Wasting ton President Eisen hower has become almost grumpy about the subject of Alaskan state hood. The other day, John Bhtrovich, a member of the Alaskan Senate, called at the White House to re mind the president that the Re publican platform called for Alas kan statehood, as well as Ha waiian, and that the Alaskan peo ple wanted action, not promises. "We pay the same federal taxes that are paid by the people in the 48 states, Mr. President,” declared BUtrovfch. "But we have no voice in making the federal laws. Includ ing th* tax laws.” ifcete was an edge on l#2’s voice as he shot back: “I- fully appreciate your interest, but statehood for Alaska is not a one-sided question. There are oth er coniWcratlon* that must be tok ■ eh into account." -J- Eisenhower didn’t elaborate as to 'what these considerations were, but it’s . reported one of them is “security.” Some observers are unkind enough to,point out that the White Houae didn’t become concerned about security until after th* Sen ate-voted, 57-to 2s, to approve state hood for both Alaska, and Hawaii.

Such a case is that of Robert e. Lee, a friend of Joe McCarthy's, appointed to th* Federal Cpmmun nicatlons Commission afters vigor ous Senate debate and. after cri ticism by me on tbe ground that he has shown up in a Senate in vestigation as having played an un savory role in the Maryland elec tions in 1960. This was the elec tion where Senator Tyding* was defeated' after McCarthy poured in Texay-Chicago Tribune money and used a fake photograph of Ty dings and Earl Browder. Young Commissioner Lee remark ed to a friend the other day: "I was appointed to government un der a cloud. But I hope to be like Hugo Black. Whtn Black was ap pointed to the Supreme Court, it wa* brought out that he had been a member of the Hu Klux Elan. Despite that, he became a great Jus tice. “In a small way,” said nee, "I can do on the FCC what Black did on th* Supreme Court.” While you don’t win a mile r*ce with a hundred-yard dash, Com missioner Lee seems to be trying hard to achieve his goal.

Cron* Demosthenes was a stutterer and so have been many brilliant men and women throughout his tory. This nuisance habit is a cousin to blushing or hand tre mors and social indigestion. You can do wonders towards stopping it by following the methods de-. scribed below. Parents should never “nag” their children about stuttering. By PR. GEORGE W. CRANE Case L-316: Martin B„ aged 23. is a young lawyer who graduated with highest honors. “B-b-but you e-c-can readily *- s-see my problem," he began. For Martin had become a stut terer in the oth grad*. He was ner vous and high strung at that titnr. And he was called upon to read aloud. The teacher asked hltn to come to the front of tbe room. That just increased hi* itegefrigbt Then he mispronounced a word and the class laughed hilariously. The resulting intense humiliation and embarrassment raised the boy’* nervous tension almost to the ex plosive point. So hit confusion be came indelibly linked with the spe cific muscles that were functioning at the very instant of his shame. In Martin’s case, those were the muscles involved in speaking. In many others, they are th* muscles that surround the tlhy Wood ves sels ixk the skin which relax and cause blushing. Many people develop vomiting in a social situation, and all through life may be unable to eat in imbue because of their naiisea and indi gestion. Spastic colitis, blushing,,tremor of the hand and many other neurotic habits are thus forms of "stutter ing” except they involve “stutter ing” of the muscle* of the blood vessels or stomach or intestines in stead of the throat.

I THE PARSON'S flMh PAHAGRAPHS PH BY If. ROBERT INSKO .'.■iii—.— an iiiivawai— : ■vdv rs TVYVRT RAVR? V tj. ■ In the fifth book of the Holy Bible we find the He brew people on the border of the Promised Land- Thfey J have not vet entered into the Land which the Lord Ood ,:,' sailed them. The name of the book, Deuteronomy, is derived from the Greek word used in the phrase “a copy of this law”'..,, found in the twenty-second verse of the seventeenth chap ter of the book. There are thirty-four chapters in all. The .. content of these chapters consists of three discourses writ ten by some brilliant thinker, not Moses according to most scholars, but dedicated to him. Whether or not Mosea djd ' write them is not an important point. The important thing is that these three wonderful discourses urge the people of Israel to greater love and devotion of God, the ** One God Almighty! It is here, in the sixth chapter, that the famous creed of the Jewish religion, the Bhema, is • found: "Rear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.” And it is added, “and you shall love the Lord your Gpd with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when* [ you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” With these words ringing in our ears, we have little doubt that the Old Tes% tament book of Deuteronomy still has much value for us in our time. It was from this book that our Lord Jesus Christ took. His first great commandment, that, “Thou : shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with* ‘ all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” The book of Deuteronomy is not a volume written and produced during the latter days of Moses’ life. It «ua : discovered by a priest during a time when repairs we\3 being made in the Temple, during the time of king JpsianT j six hundred years after Moses’ death. The priest took it : to the .king immediately. The king read it or had it read ■ to him. He was so impressed that he himself read it to ; 1 his people. It had a profound influence upon the nation. Many reforms Mere instituted. The writer of the book had j i not only summarised the Law, but had brought it down I : to a more specific application for this particular day and : time. It was just the thing the Hebrew people needed for . they had been quite lax in their religion prior to the reigif | of uie present long. m ’■ > Thus this, book had great practical results. It brought Israel to a.greater love of God. What better result could 1 any book hare! The Hebrew people now had a summary of the laws God had given them.
