A letter was received by the i
United Nations from a lady who ,
said she and he rhusband were <
expecting a baby soon and, in be- f
half of a peaceful world, they j
would like to send the birth an- j
nouncement from the UN post
office. This request was the first
such that the organization had re
ceived, so D. T. Clements, chief
of the UN Postal Administration,
request. He heartily agreed with
the idea suggested that the
regular UN five-cent stamp show
ing an adult hand holding an in
fant’s pudgy list, would be ap
propriate. He even sent the de
lighted parents a folder contain
ing all UN stamps issued for the
year, canceled with the baby’s
birthdate. The parents ordered 124
announcements. they were duly
Posted from UN headquarters—
and they carried the news that
the baby was a seven-pound girl.
Who received the first announce
ment? Chief Clements, of course!

Up until recently, I was under j n
the impression that the reason thej *'
hands on dummy clocks in front 1 t
of jewelry stores stand at 8:17 j r
o’clock, was because that was the j (
time of the tragic death of,
Abraham Lincoln. Now I am in

that in this position, the angle of | <

“eat out” men who did not mea- •

in 1918, when Hansen was in the
infantry and stationed at Camp
Wadsworth, South Carolina, his
company, he states, “indulged in
regular and frequent 32-mile
treks between the encampment it
self and the nearest rifle range.
This was always undertaken in
full battle gear and accomplish
ed in Just eight hours for the
round trip.”

If St. John were living today,

'by J. B. Phillips and it is called,
"One Way for Modern Man”, in
the thought that we are not ordi

booklet sets forth in a dramatic
new way, a story that is old and

Residents of this busy place who
were fortunate enough to visit the
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park in North Carolina and Tenn
essee this summer, have come
away praising a picturesque part
of it called Cades Cove. Here is
Part of the old American frontier,
settled beore Henry Clay and j
John C. Calhoun sparked the idea j
of a manifest destiny westward.
To serene and solacing Cades Cove j
came the pioneer settlers of the!
early 19th century, found them-'
selves happily isolated from the
outside world, so became self
sufficient. Today the visitor, awed
by the quiet majesty of this moun
tain glen, finds some of the stor
ied th ; ngs of yesterday still in-I
tact. Sturdy log houses hewed by
skilled hands long since gone, pr
mitive but adequate churches, a
water mill out of Currier and Ives,
are just a few of the cherished re
minders of what seems to have a
happier, by-gone age. There are
even a few families allowed to
remain in tne Cove. Doubtless
they are thankful for this virtual
Eden upon the. earth, this sanct
uary for souls beset with modern
cares, who seek its peaceful re-
I Jesses.
Safety Tins For Parents Os Football Playes
The sports pages of the nation’s j'
newspapers are turning rapidly ; 1
from a summer of baseball re- j
porting to writing about the 1953 j'
football season.
| Along with the organized teams
I milhons of American youngsters
are swarming the parks and va
cant lots for afternoons of kick
ing and passing, blocking and
tackling. And the bumps and
bruises are piling up on the prac
tice fields and sandlots of every
village and hamlet. Most of these
minor injuries aren’t serious and
are borne with pride by the eager
athletes.
Each year, however, there are
! serious injuries from football, :
even a few deaths. Not many, j

blem. Many of the injuries are un-1 ‘
necessary and could be avoided.
The basic safety rules for foot
ball are few and simple:
Proper physical conditioning
before beginning the rough body
contact phase of training is es
sential. The body hardened by
training will resist injury and
will be less prone to fatigue. Any
ex-gridder will tell you that he
was much more prone to injury
when he was too tired to be fully
alertt.
—ProPer equ ; pment and facili
ties are highly important to saf
ety. If your son is playing this
season, satisfy yourself that lie
has proper padding, a good hel
i met, proper shoes, If his equip
ment is old and worn, see that it
j is replaced.
i —Medical care that is readily i
available also is important fori
football safety. Not all teams,
will be able to have a physi-1
clan present at all practice sess-,
inns but medical services should
be quickly available. The physcian
is best qualified to judge whether
an apparently minor injury is
more serious than ’t appears.
