DAT, JUNE 23, IMS Russia Accepts Debate Compromise; Parley Set to Adjourn on Tiesfcf San Francisco, June 20.—Russian acceptance of an Australian com promise on what a 50-natkm general assembly can talk about MaWS the United Nations conference tonight finally and formally to set next Tues day for completion of * world charter to maintain peace. Secretary of State Stettinius an nounced after c steering committee meeting that a speech by President Truman late Tuesday afternoon will end this historic gathering, two months and ft day after it began its delibrationa. • 9i»4ng Set For Monftay. The charter of a new world organi zation'dedicated to peace problems will be signed by all the delegates of 50 United Nations Monday afternoon and night It will bring into being, when enough governments ratify It, an international league empowered to settle disputes peacefully or to use armed might to prevent war or ag gression. It will set up a new international court of justice, and a council for cooperation in removing social and economic stresses which have foment ed war in the past To a compact security council of 11 members — all the five big world powers and six others—will be en trusted the primary responsibility for maintaining peace. A confer ence commission considering the council's structure and duties com pleted its task today. All that remained was to put into charter language sections dealing with a general assembly to ser-'e as the "town meeting .of the world." Russia cleared the way for that and a successful conclusion of the conference by accepting an Austral ian suggestion that the assembly be allowed to debate anything with in the sphere of the world charter. Russia's action was announced by Secretary of State Stettinius at the ind of a Big Five meeting. Stetti nius said the big powers and Aus tralia "have reached full and satis factory agreement" on the question of how broad a debating field should be permitted a world assembly in which every United Nation would have a voice. He said the agree ment would be before a conference committee for disposition today. The Australian compromise ac cepted by Soviet Ambassador An drei Gromyko provides that the as sembly may discuss any matters within the scope of the charter of the wo rid organization, or the pow ers or functions of its organs (as sembly, council, etc.). The difference between Russia and Herbert V. Evatt, Australia's foreign minister, had been rela tively minor except as it bore on arrangements for ending the con ference on schedule. Stettinius was so pleased with the renlta of his effort to clear up the diaagreement that he came from his penthouse quarters to the America* delegation press room in the hotel to announce it personally.

Thomas Ennett, Pitt County Health Officer, sends us the follow ing article. Now that hot weather is here, the infant needs unusual care. The shortage of doctors makes it imperative that the mother iqferm herself as to the proper feeding and proper hygienic can at the baby. Intestinal 1timm * a frequent cause of illness in babies ami this ill ness is often due to improper feeding. Breast feeding is preferred to arti ficiial feedng. If fresh cow's milk is used, it is much safer if boiled. When babies have reached the age'for vsgptshleg, some doctors flunk it is safer for them to have canned vegetables since canned vegetables have been Sterilis ed. Flies frequently carry disease. They should be kept away from the baby awl the infant's food. Two other things are highly im portant in the health of the baby: be should have plenty of belled water, and in hot weather every effort should be made to keep him sool and. comfortable. Remember that a dark room is cooler than * light room; and that closing the windows and drawing the shades early in the morn ing will tend to keep the room cool. The Pitt County Health Depart ment has feeding charts covering the period from the first month up to six yeanofage. And it also has a book A BOY After a male baby has grows oat of long clothes and triangles and has acquired panta, freckles, and so much dirt that relatives do not dare to kiss it between meals, he has become a boy. A boy is nature's answer to that false belief that then is no such thing as perpetual motion. A boy can run like a deer, swim like a fish, climb like a squirrel, balk like a mule, bellow like a bull, eat like a pig, or act like a jackass, according to clima tic conditions. The world is so full of boys that it is impossible to touch off a firecracker, strike up a band, or pitch a ball game without collect ing about a thousand of him. Boys are not ornamental, they are useful. If it were not for boys, the newspapers would go undelivered and unread, sad a thousand picture shows would go bankrupt. Boys are usefiil in running errands. A boy can easily do the fsmlljr errands with the aid of live or six adults. The Jest with which a boy does w errand is equall ed only by the speed of a turtle on a July day. The boy is a natural spectator. He watches parades, fires, fights, ball games, automobiles, boats, and air planes with equal fervor. Big he will not watch the clock. The man who invents a clock that will stand on its bead and sing a song when it strikes will win the undying gratitude of millions of families with boys who are forever coming home to dinner at supper time. A boy is a piece of skin stretched over an appetite. He eats only when awake. Soya faithfully imitate their" dads in spit* of all efforts to teach them good maimers. Boys are not popular except with their own pa rents, but thay do have many fine qualities. You can absolutely rely on a boy—if you know what to rely on. Boys are very durable. A boy, if not washed too often ,and if kept in a cool quiet place after each accident, will survive broken, bones, hornets, swimming holes, fights, and nine helpings of pie. / A boy loves to trade things. He will trade frogs, fish hooks, marbles, broken knives, and snakes for any thing that, is priceless and worthier When he grows up, he will tcade pup py love, energy, warts, baahfulness and a cast iron stomach for a bay window, pride, ambition, pretense, —J a bald head, will immediate ly hegin to say that boys are not what they were in the good old days.

KIWANIS CLUB A most interesting program wu presented to the Kiwania Club under the direction of Lewis "Allen, Chair man of Public Affairs, at the regular meeting Monday evening.

SOFT BALL NEWS (By Frank Allen, Sputa Editor) The Meth-Eps played ball on June 14th as they have been capable of all season and came through with a 14-10 victory over the Baptist. It was a great win for them and marked their second straight. The other teams had better watch out or this club will up set the dope several times ere the sea son ends. The winners oat hit their rivals 16-13 and committed the few est errors. It was one of the few over-time games of the season, tak ing 9 full innings to decide the vic tor. The Christians went on the ram page in their game with the Pres. and wound up on the long end of a 16-9 score, out-hitting their opponents 16-9 and took advantage of the breaks. This victory put tKe Christiana two full games in the lead as to the league standing. In the twin bill on June 29th tfre Meth-Eps showed they are not fool ing by really putting a drubbing on the Pres. to the tune of 10-6 and led in hits 12-6. The game took a peculiar turn in the 7th inning when thru a freak play and some timely hits the Pres. were able to score 4 runs. The Meth-Epe had held them to 2 rune and 2'hits up to this time, whict- was a swell game of pitching by Fiser. This marked the third straight win for the winners and it seems that they are really on t&rwar path. It will be interesting to see the game between them and the Christians in their next encounter, as they have defeated the Pres. twice, and the Baptist once, in their present winning iitmst The Baptists had had one big inning which proved enough to subdue the pace setting Christians by the scon of 13-12. They also secured the most safeties b; the margin of 14-10. The big 3rd inning was the down fall whan the Baptist teed off on the offerings of Alls*, for 8 safetiefe and these link ed with 8 walks and some loose field ing accounted for 10 runs. They scored 6 more in a later inning, to bring their total to 13. The Christ ians stayed in the game by tying the score at 10 all on two innings at S scores each and then 1 run in two tftir innings but they were unable to get file other needed runs.
