- WANTED is a new TV series that
deals with a criminal who is still at
large at the time of the program.
The story of the crime and face of
the ‘wanted’ man is shown on film.
This can create a problem, because
if the criminal is apprehended be-
tween the time of the filming and
the show on Thursday the film is
useless.
John J. Kelly, Chief Inspector of
the Detective Division of the Phila-
delphia Police Department who por-
gram believes the series can be of
great assistance.
Kelly said: “When the Philadel-
phia Police Department was re-
quested to cooperate in the filming
lof the first ‘Wanted’ series, we
naturally investigated the proposed
cooperate for several reasons.
“First of all, we could see tre-
by television of the faces of ‘Want-
ed’ men. In this modern age, police
departments are not concerned sole-
iy with local crime and criminals.
Recent experience has proved that
the modern criminal may utilize the
fastest means of transportation and
communication.
“It is true that police departments
other advanced means of communi-
cation, but this is on a police level
only. ‘Wanted’ it seemed to us, gave
us a chance to communicate direct-
own city, but to every citizen
throughout the nation. For the chief
of a police department to be able
to telephone to McGraw Associated
case presented to a nationwide audi-
ence is a. service for which CBS
Television is to be congratulated.

GRIFFELKIN is the title of a new
opera which will be presented for
the first time on ‘Sunday afternoon
by the NBC Opera Theatre. An in-
teresting fact about this opera is
that it was written by two men who
never knew each other before they
started working on the opera and
never met until it was practically
finished. They were introduced by
mail and continued to do business
by mail. Alastair Reid, a Scottish
poet was teaching in Sarah Lawr-
ence College during part of the cor-
respondence and living in Spain the
remainder of the time. Lukas Foss
the composer was in [California
where he is associate professor of
music at UCLA.
The story for Griffelkin was out-
lined by Foss, who had heard it
from his mother when he was a
child. In the course of about 60
letters the drama and words were

Reports of so much grief have
interested in a true summary of
conditions received from my per-
sonal associates who are just re-
turning from abroad.
| England Is Prosperous
Business expansion is evident on
every hand. This includes new
houses, as well as new businesses.
The people seem to have no fear of
Russia. They are greatly interested
in automation and atomic energy.
The only cloud in the sky is credit
inflation. The English people have
been held down so long by restric-
tions that, with unlimited freedom,
the pendulum is now beginning to
swing the other way.
I have been especially interested
in getting reports of the thriving
state of agriculture with the use of
mechanical equipment. So long as
World War II does not occur, Eng-
land will continue to forge ahead
and will need very little help from
us. She again leads the world in
marine insurance and foreign ship-
ping.
Germany Is Booming
While the English people have
the faith, their unionization pre-
vents: them from doing their ut-
most. The German people have
both the faith and the freedom
from unionization. This, added to
their technical and inventive gen-
ius, is causing them to forge ahead
of the rest of Europe.’ We should
not forget, however, that the Unit-
ed States has been pouring billions
into Germany. This can be cut
down somewhat, but not too much
all at once.
As readers know, West Germany
has voted to arm end is very anx-
ious for a reunited Germany. Since
this means a bittet pill for Russia
to swallow, it will not come about
at once. It rather looks as if Ger-
many might now be at the height
of its present domestic prosperity.
In event of World War TII, Ger-
many may join England and try to
remain neutral; but she is not in
any mood to do this today.
Am Sorry For France
Poor France lacks both the faith
and the desire to work. The coun-
try has been overrun so many
times that its people are “tired
out.” This has resulted in the Com-
munists’ gaining considerable in-
fluence. I believe that we must
continue our aid to France in order
worked out and rewritten as the
music was being created.
Griffelkin is about a 10-year-old
devil who has been sent to earth
with a vial of magic liquid which
can bring anything to life. He has
instructions from his evil grand-
i mother to use it to bad ends. (NBC-
I'TV, Sunday 4-5:30 p.m.)

France, Switzerland, Belgium, and
Holland are dependent upon ex-
ports to the United States. It could
be suicidal for our country to in-
crease tariffs on any of their pro-
ducts. In fact, I believe that Amer-
ican parents must ultimately choose
between lowering all tariffs, even
with the possibility of some un-
employment or reduced wages, or,
as an alternative, sending their
boys to Europe to fight.
Italy is fortunate in having the
largest amount of water power of
any of the free nations. She also
has an advantage in being close to
Africa, , which will have a great
future when uranium and hydro-
gen are used for power.
Africa and China
Africa has a large population of
hard workers, and when these are
directed to mass production, they
could give the rest of the world
serious competition. The Black Af-
rican has a character and physical
strength which has great possibil-
ities. This is why he is so feared
in both Eastern and Central Africa.
The British and French, however,
are not restricting and abusing the
Blacks, as does the Government of
South Africa. This South African
attitude is really a disgrace to the
Caucasian race.
One of my business associates has
spent many years in China. His
conclusions are as follows: China
will free itself from Russia; China
will come back as a powerful nation
probably with some form of totali-
tarianism, but not of the Russian
brand. It will take twenty or more
years, however, for this to come

We've found out the prescribed
standard procedure for cleaning up
after your dog when you forget to
let him out at night. The Risleys,
who have seen many a dog come
and go, have developed a slick sys-
tem. When your laundry comes
back you save all the cardboard
backers from the shirts . . . and
never throw away empty cereal
boxes, they're important to the sys-
tem. First you take two of the
shirt stiffeners, sneak up on the
problem at hand and from each
side slide the two backers along the
floor (or your Persian rug as the
case may be) until they meet. In
the meantime you have placed an
empty cereal box (shredded wheat
is best) near the scene of the crime
so that, upon completion of the
initial step, you can make the de-
posit into the vastness of the cereal
box making sure that your aim is
true. Since all implements involved
in the process are disposable it is
possible, with a little practice, to
master the art and still control
your temper.

Maybe you heard it but; the oth-
er. night a local radio announcer,
extolling the virtues of his client's
used cars said, “These cars are top
bargains, we will finance them for
you and you can take up to 30
minutes to pay.” At today’s prices
a fellow would have to be pretty
well heeled to buy a car at this lot.

A couple of days ago the “L” on
Mrs. Risley’s typewriter finally gave
way. In fact Myra’s quite ready to
concede that the whole machine
has gone to “L”. This only a few

from under the desk. Sometimes
you wonder if it’s all worth it, don’t
you Myra?

Fellow was tellin’ what a smart
huntin’ dog he had, and to prove
his point, gave us a demonstration.
He took up his .22 calibre rifle and
when we went out in the fields the
dog would only hunt small game.
Later we went out and this time
the fellow carried his .30-.30 rifle
and sure enough old Towser chased
about. He states that my readers
should not expect such sudden eco-
nomic changes in China as are tak-
ing place in’ Europe. He further
believes that both China and Japan
will become, more and more, a
competitor of ours in mass pro-
duction. We Americans had better
worry more about our own econo-
mic future than about that of any
of the nations discussed above,
up a deer and a bear and paid no
attention to small game. We allow-
ed as how this was a pretty smart
dog but, when the fellow picked up
his fishin’ pole and the dog rushed
out in the backyard and started
diggin’ worms for all he was worth,
the smartest dog there is in these
here parts.

Last weekend when the Halls

the Campbells in Greenburg the
four men played golf at a very swell

thought they were in a shooting

around all over the place and the
pellets were dropping through the
trees. All escaped unharmed but

better with a gun rather than a
golf club that day.

Alva Eggleston
Will Walk Again
Alva Eggleston, who broke his
neck in a long fall from an apple
tree in his orchards at Vernon
August 22, is recovering use of his
legs, and learning to walk again
after partial paralysis, by daily use
of a walker. The family is hopeful
that he will be discharged from
General Hospital within a week or
ten days.
Mr. Eggleston is wearing what
looks like a padded horse-collar to
immobilize his neck, and still not
shut off respiration as a rigid cast
would do. He was in traction for
weeks before it was considered safe
to apply a brace.
