March 16. / V." t Hatch The Foundation* Foundations for war are not laid the day or even months before the shooting starts. Thev are laid sometimes years before actual hostilities break out. It is possible that we are laying the foundation today for another shooting war. maybe an all-out. final one. Secretary of State Dulles put his finger on the trouble when he told the Senate For cign Relations Committee a short time ago, "1 secured an agreement in writing that the Geneva Conference would not constitute recognition of China, but even so I cant seem to please you gentlemen. It looks as if there’s just no way we can conduct for eign relations to your liking." Mr. Dulles' statement is supported by past events. Back in 19B0, Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson pleaded with the old iso lationist gang to support .just a consultative pact. The great Herbert Hoover slapped him down, and we drifted along into war a decade- later Stimson tried to act when the Japanese war lords moved into Manchuria, but the isolationists slapped him down again. It is possible that right then and thiere. we lost China to the communists. Then there was the League-oi Nations, a noble effort tiiv. anted uv the isolationists. Time and time again, the isolationists, marching mainly under the Republican banner, have wrecked the peace fences and .» .injured, wm in • Talk with the communists may lead no where. But it has been proved that a with . drawal into our shells in the end invites • war. It is better to have talked and failed than to withdraw and Later be plunged into war with the same fellows we refused to talk to.

But that is just what will happen if more support is not given it in the immediate future. This year one out of every thirty-five persons in the chapter is being asked to do •' nate a pint of blood. The request is not an unreasonable one. especially when the re sulting benefits are considered. ’ The blood program has meant much to - the people of this area. The saving ofuves * has been traced to the program since it was £ inaugurated a few years ago in the chapter. Strange as it may seem, the value of the ■ program has been overlook in numerous * cases, while unfounded rumors have been circulated, intentionally or unintentionally. * to hamper the work. It has been pointed ^out time and time again that the Red Cross * makes no charge for the blood, but some * insist on saying that they are charged foi * it. The reports have been investigated and * each time it v. -s found that the charge often * reierrea to is me laDoraiory tees cnargeu V by the hospital for typing and administering 0 the blood. y Last year in this chapter, the Red Cross « spent $2,904 in operating the bloodmobile * and making blood available to local hos * pitals and others in the chapter. \ It is time for the people, all the people, * in this chapter to give the program a more * serious consideration and make certain that *,it is maintained. € _ ****** JUST HER LUCK Iowa girl has been in two plane wrecks, three auto smash-ups and a train crash.

Besides threatening the unity of the coun trv and trampling the rights of citizens, mc carthvism is' pushing" into the background some deals that apparently have an unsav ory smell. It now appears that membership on Secre tary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson's com mittees carries indirect if not direct bene fits. Some time ago thousands of tons of peas were .sulci secretly b\ the: Dcpsrtnienc at $3Q a ton less than the price offered in the ■**►*■• ..... ......— markets, itSB man who handled me costly deal for the taxpayers was a member of Mr Benson’s Ag: ^cultural Advisory Committee. nearly heo and one-half million i'W loss to the government would have bought a lot of mink coats and other special favors for the little folks in and around Washing ton. Investigators were advised that a “lit tle" mistake had been made, and the admin istration press said little or nothing about it. More recently the Department of Agricul ture sold twenty-one million pounds of seed, and when the deal appeared a bit on the shady side. Congressman Pat Sutton. Demo crat of Tennessee, started an investigation. He learned- chat' -I-rlleen minion poUnus of the seed, bought bv the government for six million dollars, had been sold for less than two million dollars to a five-company syndi cate. that each company had a representa tive on Mr. Benson’s Seed Industry Advis ory Committee. A short time before the sale was made to the syndicate, the Agriculture Department advertised the seed for sale at a price three times higher than the one paid by the apparently preferred group, the gen eral advertisement advising that there would be no price reduction in the imme diate future. The deal was described bv Representative Sutton as having “an odor like that of a pile of fish lying in the sun for a week." In the Truman administration the moun tain labored and brought forth a mouse. Nows under the present administration, the mouse labors and brings forth a mountain for the privileged few. And the press and others stand by while a few gobble up and run off with the country, including the rights of individuals.

Shipyard Log. 60 Second Sermons By Fr^d Dodge ■ TEXT: "Real and imagin ary evils have the same effect on the mind.” 1 The president of a rather large bank always wore his hat to cover his bald head. One daw in his office, he met the bank’s janitor, an old timer with the bank “George,” said the banker, jokingly, “you have been with us for 30 years. Why have not you taken out an account with us?" The janitor thought for a moment, and answered, Will. Boss, I ain’t put no money in here b< cause you' always look lTkc ‘you're goin' some place else.” "Guilt by association” has become a com mon phrase. Men and women in public life are condemned because they have associat ed with those guilty of crimes or disloyalty. We cannot, in fairness, accuse them of crimes and disloyalty, too. However, we must admit that they unwisely exposed themselves to criticism, and for that reason, do not deserve our complete trust. The ap pearance of evil has the same effect on ob servers as the evil itself. Those who would not be accused of evil must guard them selves against associates who appear evil, no matter how convenient or profitable. Few men with intelligence above that of a moron, can fail to recognize, before long, that their associations are evil. Carefully guarding against even the appearance of evil is the best safeguard for reputation.

This compares with 34.17 cents pel pound the previous Friday and 33.60 on the corresponding date a year ago. Host Beautiful ! Women In World The latest bit of bunk to ap- | pear in the newspapers is a story | telling the selection, by a group ; of so-called experts, of the world s j ten most beautiful women. Strangely enough th^ ten were famous people, and some would be adjudged homely by even the most generous judge. As is the case with ’he ten best dressed racket, and similar fareial selections of such talents as best groomed women, etc., the selec tion of the world's ten most beau tiful women is an impossibility. The selection is actually a game played by those doing the select ing, some of whom curry favor with famous and wealthy women by selecting them for publicity honors. Of course, the most beau tiful woman in the world may live in Podunk, and the metropolitan experts selecting the world's most beautiful women would never have an apportunity to see her, or a thousand others—all of whom would put the famous ten to shame. The practice ot making tnese selections provides newspaper copy, and furnishes the country bumpkin with a little hokum which he too often takes seri ously. In other words, it's a farce from beginning to end. - —— Time Saves If or her Who drabs Hand In Falling Manchester, England—Harold Wood was repairing the face of the St. Mary’s Hospital clock, 60 feet above the ground, when a gust of wind blew down his wooden scaffold. Wood. 42, grab bed the 3-foot minute hand, hung on and yelled for help.'Nearby workmen ran over with a ladder and rescued him from his precari ous position. -- Strong demand for both fresh and frozen eggs is holding prices received by farmers slightly above a year ago.
