Hisloris Papers Enshrined In The Nation's Capital Constitution. Declaration ami Rill of Rights Now In Archives Building —*-— President Truman says the idea uf freedom is in danger, not only from cim:nuvii^^^r"m those woo -a ant t’-e government to regulate the mind and spirit. “The external threat to liberty should nol drive us into supples s.fiSf'Wcrty at home." he said. “Those who want the government to regulate matters of the mind and spirit are like men who are so afraid of being murdered that they commit suicide to avoid as sassination." The President’s remarks were in a speech prepared for cere monies dedicating a new shrine ~ in the National Archives for dis play of the Declaration of Inde pendence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. All three documents have been sealed in glass cases specially de signed to protect them from de terioration. Under the shrine is a 20-ton safe, with built-in eleva tors, considered to be impregnable against burglars, fire, bombs, or water. The Constitution and the Dec laration were moved, under heavy guard, from the Library of Con gress a few days ago. The Bill of Rights, ratified 161 years ago. was already at the Archives Building. Challenge Of Communism Mr. Truman said all freedom loving nations face the challenge of communism, and he said any man who isn’t alarmed b.v it "simply doesn’t understand the situation—or he is crazy." "But alarm (s one thing, and hysteria is another,” he continued. "Hysteria impels people to de stroy the very thing they are struggling to preserve.” He did not name those he de scribed at one point as persons ‘‘who believe it is too dangerous to proclaim liberty throughout all | the land to all the inhabitants." : "Invasion and conquest by Communist armies," he asserted, * Now Is The Time to go to COURTNEY’S For FURNITURE NEW AN1) USED FURNITURE ANTIQUES WIER FURNITURE EXCHANGE (Store with the Red Flags) Washington Street GREAT OAK l«Btl BLENDED WHISKEY M p*f. <%% Mi fctfrtf *MR Austii^Hcholsi MAuld Lang Syne” fs Integral Part Of New Year’s Fete “Auld Lang Syne” has become such an integral part of our modern New Year's eve that no celebration, however gay, would be complete without it. The music sheets for those nostal gic strains simply say "Robert Burns — Scotch Air”, and Robert Buius geuct£i' * -upp^ied to have written it xhet he had settled down on a farm and taken himself a wife, following the sweeping success in 1778 of the second edition of his "Poems.” Welt and good. tftiTTfeSd Larg Syne was not exclusively a Burns’ product, nor did he claim it to be. In a letter to George Thomson, a publisher, Burns explained: “It Is an old song of olden times, which has never been in print. I took it down from an old man’s singing." - Modern scholarship has discov ered that Burns was wrong when he told Thomson ”Auld Lang Syne" never had been in print. Its refrain, at least, was printed obscurely long before Burns heard his "old man singing." Further, the original song often has been credited to Sir Robert Ay toun (1570-16:181. Aytouu was one of the earliest Scots to use the lowland dialect as a literary medium Multi tudes of Americans decended from non-British stock are perpetually mystified by this dialect, nor does It seem to make much sense in the itandard English translation. Regardless of its original author ind origin. It was Burns who gave ‘Auld Lang Syne" its immortality. "would be a horror beyond our capacity to imagine. But invasion and conquest by Communist ideas of right and wrong would be just as bad "For us to embrace the methods and morals of Communism in order to defeat Communist ag gression would be a moral disas ter worse than any physical ca tastrophe. "If that should come to pass then the Constitution and the Declaration would be utterly dead, and what we are doing to day would be the gloomiest buna in the history of the world.” New Dedication The retiring Chief Executive believe 1his was going to happen that the ceremony marked a new dedication to the ideals of liberty The President recalled that when the Declaration and Con stitution were sealed in then eases almost .a year and a hall ago, he had spoken of the threat of totalitarianism and comrnun ism, and he continued: "That thro; t still menaces free dom. The struggle against com munism is just as eruieal. just a; demanding, as it was then." But he said the idea of free dom is also m danger from those who "hate communism, but wh< at the same time are unwilling t< acknowledge the ideas of tilt Constitution as the supreme law of the land. . "Whether they know it or not those people are enclosing the spirit as well as the letter of tht original Constitution in aglas; ease, sealed off from the living nation. They are turning it into t mummy, as dead as some ole Pharaoh ol Egypt, and in so doinj. they are giving aid and comforl to the enemies of democracy.” Fewer G. I.

Submarines Nay Travel Under Ice The latest report of progress in the construction of the Navy's first atomic-powered submarine, the Nautilus, indicates that these atom-driven underseas craft may jbe able to operate for some time under the thick polar ice which stretches outward from the poles. The possibility is even seen that an atom-powered submarine will ! cross under this tremendous ice I blanket from the Western Hemis phere to Europe without surfac ing during the trip From a military standpoint, the advent of such a submarine would be of major importance. The northern approach to Russia, for instance, has always been closed to the great areas of frozen seas, or unyielding ice-packs, through which no ship could force itself. Aircraft, of course, fly overhead but until now, there has been no hope for a sea crossing. Tht atom-powered submarine seems to be changing the picture. Submarines, which operate on atomic power are not limited by batteries which have to V* re charged on the surface. Neither does the atom-powered submarine need air for operating its engines. The atomic power plant requires no air m creating the super-heat which produces steam for the propulusion turbine that drives the submarine. Thus, atomic subs can remain underwater for long periods, or as long as the fuel supply lasts. Re cent tests have shown that the Artie Sea apparently has plenty of water beneath the tremendous ice mass, stretching outward from the1 North Pole. A late test indi cates there is 14,000 feet of water at the North Pole, Therefore, the possibility for submarines is al most unlimited, if they are capa ble of operating for long periods under the ice blanket. One can readily see the import ance of the new capacity for submarines, since it will be pos sible, when atom-submarines arc j put into operation, to send on< I under the ice cap at the North , Pule to the shores of a potential enemy, where it can launch an ' atomic nnssle. It could then dive and slip back under the ice blank et and head back to the United States. Neither aircraft nor sur face ships could sink such a sub marine, since the bombs would not penetrate the ice pack above it.

By Robert Schmidt During the dormant season wc should examine our shrubs and fruit trees closely to see if they arc infested with scale insects. H you uu not know what scale in sects look like, call in your Coun ty Agent or some horticultural • toend who is famihar yvHh them If the trees are infested wott Scale ii is important that you oo something about it. Scale insects are very smal sucking insects ihat attach them selves to the twigs, leaves, anc branches of shrubs and trees anc proceed to suck the life out oi them. As soon as they are attach ed to the twig they construct t tough scale covering over them selves for protection. That is whj they are called Scale insects. Th< scales are usually white or graj in color. In order to kill the insects it it necessary to use a spray materia that will penetrate the scale cov ering. Such a spray would be toe strong tn use during the growinf season because it would also dam age the plants. Therefore, wt must -pray for scale insects dur ln8 the dormant season when the plants are not growing and de ciduous trees are free of leaves. Thr miseihle 'dls such as volck and s.enWjd.e and lime sulphur solutions are etfeetive in control ling Seale insects when used ac cording to the manufacturers’ di •j t'-vium- (">:t sprays should no* i>e used in Ireezilig weather. Be cause 'C its fungicidal action es pecially on peach trees it is pre lerred to use Lime Sulphur spray late m the dormant season. Also it this time of the yeai "c may find a number of spindle * shaped cocoons or "bags'' hang ins on the twigs of our narrow - leaved evergreens Many of these “bags" contain eggs of the bag 1 worm which will hatch out inti caterpillars in early summer These caterpillars will eat thi I'Jiage of the evergreens anr will protect themselves by spin ning new bags in which they live 1 while they feed. Later in tin summer they will change to ad hits and the females will lay egg: in their cocoons. For control « 'Radio Appeal Helps Aged Foster - Mother r .. Olnev.
