This, That & I he Other By Mrs. Thcu. B. Davis After all that pretty, warm weather back in February and March, it goes hard to need fires on May mornings. And we can sympathize with those in the western part of the state where snow fell last week. No accurate reports have come as to extent of damage done crops and iruits; but already in some sections the apple crcp was ruined. In spite of the unusually early -pring gar dens will on the average, proba*- bly be later than for years. Because of the sugar scarcity I’ll be glad when strawberries are gone. They are such unsat isfactory berries unless treated exactly as they demand. You can’t can them fit to eat without sugar; they turn brown and wa tery with little flavor except a dirty, sour taste, if you try it. If you make good preserves of strawberries, you need at lcasl pound for pound; and my favo rite receipe of all calls for four cups of sugar to three of ber ries—that makes a product that in color, consistency and flavor is perfect. But who wants to put preserving sugar into one kettle only? If you serve berries at table, you have to remember to be stin gy with the sweetening again, and strawberries resent any hint of that. A shortcake lacking sweet ness isn’t worth trying to get cream for. If you serve the ber ries whole, giving each person his own tiny mound of sugar to dip into, it is about the fairest solu tion; but some don’t like to eat them that way. O, well, they don’t last long at best. I am not trying to criticize the work done in research nor the progress made in the medical profession. But I do feel that many of us laymen and laywe men who know little of science and less cf medicines are develop ing a tendency to forget what we might have learned through the years bv experience and observa tion, arid a stronger tendency to use and misuse terms that we are far from understanding. In these days of psychological child-training we may lay all mis . behavior on complexes, fixations, inhibitions, psychoses or whatever excuse of that kind we can think up on the spur of the moment; we talk glibly of ego and libido; we must never admit our little darlings are either naturally bad or plain spoiled. But it may be even more serious when we want to be told that all physical ill ness is caused by the lack of some vitamin or other and that its curc depends on the use of some newly discovered drug. If I had not lived so many yeaes without hearing of a calorie 01 a vitamin, I might be more impress ed. But I’ve seen too many stom ach-aches and rashes not to re member that eating food that dis agrees with a small —or a laige stomach may cause as much pain as an absent vitamin all labelled with its capital letter. Castor oil and asafoetida are not so impres sive as penicillin and sulfathia 20V but they have their uses. And I am begining to fear that in striving Lo have a completely balanced diet we may have done much to unbalance it. We feel more important when told we have rare and peculiar symptoms that demand the new est treatments; for there are fash ions in diseases as in clothing and cne^eb - we diagnose tor ourselves, deciding that the doctor who does not agree is behind the times Neu ritis came into style just before I began having the pains that are frequent with me now; so I have neuritis instead of rheumatism; and let no doctor dare tell me dif ferent. As my father used to quote: “A little learning is a dangerous thing: - Drink deep, or taste nos the Pier ian spring.” FREE ADMISSION We think Mothers are wjnacr ful! That’s why we’re inviting all MOTHERS over 60 to be our guests on Mothers’ Day. It s on the house” Mother—so, if you re over 60 just tell the doorman, and you’ll be admitted as our Guest on Mothers’ Day, Sunday, May 13 at Wakelon Theatre. Never put boiling water over cold dishes, or cold water on hot dishes. Harsh scouring and strong soaps may also damage dishes. hi IGibs mm U Volume 21. No. 37 7th War Loan Dr. L. M.

Massey, speaking to the Wakelon High School student body, -presented facts relating to Federal Government aid for edu cation. Dr. Massey was very in formative and discussed in on lightening manner for the boys aud iil ls tin needs as he sees them for such aid. He defined Federal aid for schools as mean ing an enlarged educational pro gram, a broader program, a high er standard of teaching. Because such a program will raise the in telligence oi the worker and thus increase his earning power, busi ness was challenged to show ho-v it can afford to fail to pay the bill. Federal aid is a program of “equalization of opportunity for all children of all states of the Union,” Dr. Massey further as serted. Although more than 59 per cent of our Nation’s popula tion is rural only about 15 per cent of the National income goes -to them. Why? Because of low educational qualities: because of lack of equalization in our educa tional program. While our own state is giving more and better advantages to its children than many other states, still our educational offering does not rank among the upper third of the Union. Because our states ire not equal in ability, the edu cation of many children is and will be insufficient. Only when the Federal Government steps in will education be equalized foi every child in every community. Monday morning, as news be gan to come in of impending V-E Day, it was quickly decided that Wakelon students would want to take part in the observance of a day that will surely go down in history. At 1:30 the entire stu dent body assembled in the audi torium for a half hour of worshiD. The Rev. George Griffin pro nounced the invocation, which was followed by a choral Amen, “Prayer of Peace,” sung by the girls of the glee club. “Come Thou Almighty King” was sung by the group, after which the glee club sang “To Thee. O Country.” The Rev. Charles Vale spoke briefly on the significance of events. Closing the program the group sang the National Anthem. Tuesday morning, as V-E Day became official, the high school body gathered in the auditorium to hear President Truman's proc lamation and the recorded ad dress of Mr. Churchill.
