Associate Editor Social Editor .......... .... = Patting The Porcupine The Arab nations patted the wrong porcupine when they tangled with Israel, and retired liberally feathered with quills. It seems incredible that in four days of whirlwind fighting, the Israelis could have accompanied so much. Never under-rate an opponent. One Israeli foot soldier, interviewed at the time the volcano was about to blow its top with the blockading of the Gulf of Agaba, is quoted as saying, “Armament? What armament? All the Arabs will need is light running shoes.” And so it was. The fleeing hosts discarded even the running shoes at times, and made tracks over the burning sands in their bare feet. ; Egypt's Nasser should have known better than to ask for retirement of the UN troops from the Gaza Strip. It was a thrill to see Ambassador Goldberg, poker- faced but wreathed with canary feathers, stating the facts to the United Nations Security Council. Too long has the United States been kicked in the teeth by nations which expose their feelings of inferiority by belaboring the very nation which has helped them. A great nation is always a prime target. It can always be blamed for everything that happens, on the grounds that it is an imperialistic aggressor. We get tired of this sad song of aggression. The Mediterranean Fleet kept its hands off the Near- East in the recent Israeli-Syrian Blow-Up, standing by only to evacuate its nationals if called upon. The Soviet Fleet stood by and watched the United Arab Nation go down the drain, which was about the only thing it could do, but the Arabs are not about to forget that they didn't get help when they needed it. Israel, that spunky little country, didn’t need help. It was like watching a small boy cleaning up a ring of school bullies. A Halo For Fathers, Medium Size We feel that fathers should get a great deal more credit than they usually do. Fathers Day should at least result in a medium sized halo for Dad, maybe even a power lawn mower so that he can cut the grass while Junior is off to the swimming pool. It’s so simple on Mothers Day. A pretty card and a bouquet, and Mother is all set for another year. Fathers are pretty much taken for granted. He's the guy who pays the rent, or the installments on the house, and the fuel bill and the taxes and tha in- surance on the car. A The guy who blisters his back excavating for the swimming pool, exposing that area to the June sun which toasts his offspring to a golden brown, but which leaves him: with a sunburn that causes him to sleep on his face for a week. The guy who somehow scratches up enough money to trade in the old T-V for the color job, thereby adding to the status and the image of the family. The guy who trades in his fishing trip for a family vacation at the seashore. The guy who sees himself on TV as the prime bun- gler, tripping over the furniture, turning to Mom for the solution of the family problems, helpless in the face of her admittedly superior mentality. We'd like to see some changes made. Because Dad is a pretty solid citizen. He doesn’t really require a halo, but he might enjoy wearing one for at least one day out of the year. He'd probably laugh his head off at a Father's Day card, but he just might appreciate a little more considera- tion. If You Missed The Immunization If you missed the immunization day for measles on Sunday, it will pay you to see your doctor and take steps toward protecting your small children. The Sunday immunization was free. Your doctor will make a charge, but any step which will help eliminate the aftermath of a bad case of measles, is well worth taking. ; Time is long past when mothers took their children to a neighbor's home to “catch the measles and get it over with.” The same thing applies to mumps and scarlet fever and whooping cough, and all the formidable list of child- hood diseases which left damaged hearts and ruptured eardrums in their wake. Diphtheria was once considered inevitable. too. And as for polio. there is no reason for polio to be a menace. ever again, IF parents heed the warning to have their children immunized. Safety Rules For Motor Cycles Z Riders of motorcycles are urged to read and heed the instructions printed in an advertisement in this issue, directed toward their safety and that of others. Kunkle Motors is making a real contribution to safety on the highway by listing rules for safe motor cycling. With the advent of warm weather, cyclists are tak- ing to the roads in ever increasing numbers. Motor cycles are here to stay, and drivers of cars may as well get used to them, accustom themselves to the racket, and stop fuming. In the horse-drawn era, the first automobiles were viewed with an equal intolerance. The highways are open to anything on wheels that can maintain the necessary speed. Motor cyclists pay gasoline taxes, too. If they obey the rules of the road, they are no more a menace than a driver in a Cadillac. Editorially Speaking = | Married: Iris G.

Her hair lis reddish brcwn and she is very | beautiful. | “This is my last doll, so I am | asking everybody to buy a ticket. | “I can’s get out, but people can l'eall me, and I will send them one or more tickets. “In addition to the antique doll, | there is a doll quilt and a boy's | bicycle to chance off. | “Thank you for all the nice things yon said ‘in the article on ‘my death.” | Mrs. Newman's non-obit was writ- {ten in an issue some months ago, | | when the area was greatly relieved to find that the Jennie Newman ‘who had died was not the Mrs. | Newman who has been a standby of the Library Auction for so many years. | Express your gratitude by buying | | . a bcok of tickets for the doll.

Monday, a week ago, folks who relied on submersible pumps for their water supply, were borrowing buckets of water from the neighbors on lines serviced by the Water Company. Last Wednesday night when the water supply was cut off from Dallas-Shavertcwn customers, the drought extending into Thursday morning, folks who had borrowed water from their neighbors * Monday, were able to return the favor. : Many’s the slopping bucket of water that was transported in the family car to alleviate the situation, and provide water for the morning coffee. We have heard that people drained their hoses to obtain the last drop, and that businessmen started for town with a towel and a razor and a container of whichever foam hair-bristler they prefer- red, headed for the Men’s Room in the office building where they could shave in peace. Left with a tubful of dishes were the women, those who had collapsed on the couch for a bout with television before clearing things away, only to find on regaining consciousness that the water had gone off and left them. It is always astonishing to find that a utility which you have counted on always to be there when you called for it, can possibly let you down. But we do think that people can get too dependent. There's that vague soul who fed celery stalks and chicken bones into what she thought was a disposal unit in the sink. After the plumber got through removing the celery and cleaning up the mess, he explained the facts of life to her. It was a regular sink, he instructed, and not the kind that you fed with chicken bones. What she needed was a good garbage pail with a tight lid. We've got a trick worth two of that. * We look at potato peelings and apple peelings with a eye to humus. What's the difference be- tween fallen leaves, wilting iris stalks, and apple peelings? Th all came from the ground, they can all return to it, increasing the humus and the moisture retention qualities of the flower beds. There's nothing like a good humus pit. The drawback is that it doesn’t seem to want to remain a K it wants to burgeon into a humus hump. This can be overcome in a variety of ways. When our city visitors are shocked by the idea of burning garb- age, we explain that it is the one best method of disposal. No garbage bucket to breed maggots if left overlong, no con- tainer to scrub, nothing to attract stray dogs and cats. If you're on the gas line; you've got it made. There's an in- cinerator which burns the trash while it heats the water. If you have a bucket-a-day, it will greedily take care of the garbage. If you have a Franklin stove, you're all set. When you burn your milk cartons and your Ritz cracker boxes in it, you heave in the garbage, and in five minutes it is ancient history. But there just isn’t much you can do without water. Folks take a plentiful supply for granted, which is nice work if you can get it. A power failure points up the fact that we are practically help- less in these modern times without power. That's where the pioneers had it all over us. As soon as the country was settled enough, and the Indian situation simmered down so that it was safe to go to the spring without carrying a gun, ingenious farmers figured out a way to pipe the water down the hill to the house. There are still some houses in this area which are supplied by | gravity feed, with no recourse to the power lines, and with enougiify pressure to blow the lid off. . The households do not suffer when there is a power black-out. Most of them still have a coal or wood stove in the kitchen, and§§ there is a row of polished lamps on the kitchen shelf. Primitive, but it works. En | or 1] | | p Special Prices for Children.
