THE EDITOR'S VOICE
Newspaper men face an exceed-
ingly foggy future as Warren G.
Harding was the cmly journalist or
newspaper editor to have become
president of the United States. But
then how many editors would want
Truman's job with the incoming
Republican Congress?

THANK YOU ALL
Several weeks ago we made pub-
lic the fact that the subscription
price of the Bulletin would be ad-
vanced to $2.00 January 1. Up to
this time we have received a large
number of renewals, many new
subscribers and NOT ONE who
has said: “Stop our paper, if costs
too much.”
In zppreciation of our efforts we
propose to make The Bulletin Big-
ger and Better than ever by pub-
Jishing anything in the shape of
‘news that comes to our attention.
gn our efforts many of you can
assist by giving us a “lip”
any time. We'll do the rest, get the
news and fee] grateful for your
assistance.

VERY WELL TIMED
i One night last week the Ice
Follies opened @n engagement at
Hershey. Several days later the
December issue of the Readers
Digest came thru the mails and it
was interesting news to read there-
lin a condensed article from Coronet
by. Temple , H+ Fielding. headed
“Home-Grown Ice Follies.”
It appers that two boys in a
family of ten children, Sweedish
immigrants, lived in St. Paul, Minn.
They loved skating, got their ex-
perience on a home-made rink
created by pumping water into
their back were given two
ot dogs and two cups of ccifee
for their first pubiic exhibitisn on
skates and now head the Shipstead
Ice Follies, playing 2 48 weeks’ en-
gagement thruout the United States
annually, carry 165 skaters,. 35
technicians, $200,000 worth of glitt-
ering costumes and snap up $4,000,-
000 in gate receipts.
Ancther illustration that one nev-
er knows just where little things
may lead to.
May the success of Eddie and
Roy Shipstad, also Oscar Johnson
be unlimited.

SOUNDS GOOD
It is the same song, second verse,
that the Republicans of the House
lay down for the program for fu-
ture Congressional action. Among
the points is elimination of govern-
ment controls; termination of presi-
-dential emergency powers as rap-
idly as possible; substantial savings
where practical; relief from short-
ages in scarce items such as sugar
and soap; close adherence to the
Congressional Reorganization Act
“with appreciation of the fact that
experience or later developments
might demand clarification and im-
provement”. It all sounds good,
whatever he a man’s political par-
ty. Few can find fault with such
a plan but yet, each act calls for
carefu} study. Several of the points
mean nothing, as the words stand.
Some of the changes, if undertaken
too quickly will be too rich for our
blood. Deliberation rather than too
prompt an action without a follow-
through, will bring more applause
for the GOP party in the final
etunt. A prophecy of prosperity
has been sounded by the President.
A projizram for the Republican Con-
gress to get immediate action for
removals and improvements, is but
an eche of werds uttered before,
in our history. We are proceeding
about cur daily bread and keeping
the fingers crossed.

Dinosaurs Smart
Dinosaurs ruled the earth for
more than 100,000,000 years possibly
because they were ‘smart’ enough
to stay in the shade when it was
hot, to get into the sun when it was
cold, according to Dr. Raymond
B.»Cowles of the University of Cali-
fornia, and Dr. Edwin H. Colbert
and Dr. Charles M. Bogert of the
American Museum of Natural His-
tory. The scientists say that there
is still much to be learned about
the dinosaurs, and especially why
they became extinct. Dr. Cowles be-
lieves that a rise in temperature
may have sterilized the dinosaurs
so that they failed to reproduce. Dr.
Colbert and Dr. Bogert believe that
| other factors may have been in-
volved, including a shortage of food
and competition between the huge
reptiles.

Early Medicines
Many preparations common to
home medicine chests of early Eu-
rope have stood the test of time.
Compound benzoin tincture was for-
merly an English household medi-
cine sold under the name of Turling-
ton’s Drops; gentian tincture was
originally Stoughton's Great Cor-
dial Elixir, a popular British home
remedy of the 18th century; an-
timony was sold as Plummer's
Pills; lavender tincture was sold as
Palsy Drops; rhubarb was first
marketed as Gregory's Powder;
senna was known as a home remedy
of the early 1700s under the name
of Daffy’s Elixir, and magnesium
| carbonate was sold in 17th century
Italy as Count of Palma's Powder.

Rediscovery of Spicer Isles
Recalls Early Explorations
Rediscovery of the Spicer islands | States began prior to the American
| by a Canadian airborne expedition | revclution, and is ene of our oldest
| stirs memories of early Arctic ex- |
risions of the University
ploration when sailing ships first
dared the icy waters north of Can-
ada in search of the elusive North-
west passage. North of Hudson
bay and of the Arctic circle, Foxe
basin—in which the Spicer islands
lie—was named for the English
navigator Luke Foxe, says the Na-
tional Geographic society.
Captain Foxe sailed from England
in 1631 on one of the many expedi-
‘tions sent out in the 16th and 17th
centuries to find a northern short
cut to the trade and riches of the
East. Exploring the waters of Hud-
son bay and the channels north of
it, he showed not only exceptional
navigation skill but a sense of hu-
mor in some of the place names he
left behind him.
“Cape Wolstenholme’s
Vale,” Foxe explained, 0
called because he believed ‘Sir
John Wolstenholme will not lay out
any more monies in search of this
bay.” History upheld the title. In
asserting English possession of the
lands he visited, Captain Foxe
paid respect to his ‘‘dread sov-
Ultimum
was Ss
Great Brittaine,” in such names
as ‘King Charles his Promontory,”
*‘The Prince his Cradle” and ‘‘The
Prince his Nurse.” He called one
group of islands ‘““Brigges his Mathe-
matickes,”” and his
point along Foxe channel “North-
West Foxe, his Furthest.”
Folk Medicine
Ergot, the peculiar fungus of wild
grain, is a folk medicine that wait-
ed years for recognition. Midwives
of Europe had long known that
“spurred rye” promoted the con-
traction of the uterus during birth.
Even the German name for the
growth, Mutterkorn, implies a popu-
lar acceptance of these therapeutic
powers. Finally, in 1807, the wild
rye fungus was introduced to offi-
cial medicine under its modern
name, ergot.
