Farm Safety Week
We say thai in respect to numbers of people
involved, agriculture lias declined, hut with
the mechanization and haste which are in
creasingly a par; of today's farm, danger also
increases.
In the United Stales accidents kill one farm
resident everv 4;> minute- Every 1)2 seconds
a farm resident suffers an injury which dis
ahles him beyond that day.
National Farm Safety Week, to he observed
July 2,'i 20 tin year, is a "cod example of a
"week' Ilia' should be <onsideréd a continual
part of rural iife It especially true in this
area, in which agriculture plays a major role
in our economy.
Telegram on Berlin
Lufkin and Nacogdoches Counties citizens
have signd a telegram to the President of
the United States urging a linn stand in
Berlin.
It is to be regretted that these people and
millions more feel that we need to urge
strength upon our leaders. Why should the
peopk' hi've Ui fear the policies of their own
leaders?
Perhaps that answer is to be seen in Korea,
and more recently i .«tos, where we talked big
and did nothing

Word Problems
Several news stories about the weather of
late leaves us more than ever convinced that
W(. need some new words and descriptions.
For centuries, we'd guess, hail has been as
big as ege.s Then along came golf balls, and
with the cooperation of the weather hail
came to conform to the >iz<• of yolf balls.
It hardly ever hails now that the stones are
not the same size as either hens eg;;s or golf
balls. But we've witnessed some hail that has
varied from these descriptions
But the hail we saw never got in the news.
Come to think of it maybe that'.- why. in
the news, gatherings become mobs and inci-
dents become riots.
Federal give-away agencies with thousands of
employes in Washington and deployed around
the "lobe and with millions of taxpayers' dol-
lars to spend in self-serving propaganda to
extract, billions more. The Committee's posi-
tion has. in fact, been recognized by no less
a corporate bleeding-heart than the New York
Times whose correspondent fears the foreign
aid bill may have tough going because of this
"articulate and well-organized" group of 44
men vvith a budget said to be "around $50,(100
a year."
And well the Federals may fear David and
his pebbles despite their own heavy artil
lery. We quote in full the latest shot at en-
trenched fatuousness:
"A favorite argument of the foreign aiders
is that il costs less than one per cent of the
Gross National Product (GNI'i. As the New
York Times editorial of .(une 12 puts it. surely
we can afford 'one penny out of every dollar's
worth of goods and .services we produce.'
"These comparisons are like saying that
since one's skin is less than one per cent of
his body, a man may be safely flayed GNP
is not national income. Kvery business in the
United Stales conceivably could be operating
at a loss and still there could be a huge CM'.
But there would be no business income to
lax. GNP is not a fund: it is a statistic

THIS WEEK S HISTORY CAPSULE
POLITICAL PARTIES
At first there were no politi-
cal parlies in the I 'lilted States.
George Washington didn't ap-
prove of them After all, he was
the father of our country and in
those days parental authority
was more than a parlor topic.
But .soon there came to be a
surplus of opinion about public
affairs, a n d the articulate
statesmen, seeing how that even
churches had found a number
of different ways to worship
God and all of them acceptable,
became persuaded that the He
public needed at least one
minority.
Along carne tariffs and this
persuasion crystallized Now
tariffs don't seem like much to
fall out over, but we have to
remember that there were a lot
of political tyros in those days.
II has taken us nearly 200 years
to develop such sophisticated
issues as foreign aid and farm
programs.
Hard times often spawned
other little parties, such as the
Townsends, but the big two got
around to making bigger plat-
forms. and that was a blow.
The little parties had nothing
left to promise,
"Political science" has emerg-
ed ¡if a result of having more
than one party. This is a lib
eral usage of the word science
but much in politics is liberal.
But since politics is a growing
and developing thing there had
to be an accumulation of laws
and consequences and theor-
ems. So they call it science.
As politics has become scien-
tific, much of the superstition
formerly attached to it lias been
removed. For example, it was
once believed that a man could
run for only one office at a
time. This was sheer ritual.
Sn politics may be seen as a
growing, developing thing. And
George Washington to the con-
trary notwithstanding, we will
have two major parties for some
time to come Without them we
could have no bi-partisan for-
eign policy.

'Mistake'Allows Karl Marx
Edict Into School Yearbook
By Dr. Alfred P. Haake
(Editor's Note: Alfred P.
Haake, PU D., is a noted econo-
mist, public relations consul-
tant, author and lecturer.)
A sleepy city, where the sun
shone so regularly that the local
newspaper charged nothing for
its papers on days when the sun
did not shine, where people
vegetated on green benches
along the main streets, and old
folks went to die -came to life
a few years ago.
Now people go there to live.
A Chamber of Commerce pro-
claims proudly the virtues of
this Metropolis at the tip of a
peninsula where fish abound in
the waters surrounding its
beauty.
St. Petersburg, Florida, is
also one of the targets for the
communistic undermining of
our country. Here, too, the doc-
trines of Karl Marx are fos-
tered, under other labels, with
the added impetus of social se-
curity and old people tired of
fighting again the battle for
freedom.
In diabolically ingenious ways
the slogans and key doctrines
of communism are fed to our
youth, usually in the guise of
worthy purposes, and often aid-
ed unwittingly by the very
leaders who should be teaching
the truths bought so dearly by
earlier generations of Ameri-
cans.
It came to pass that someone
wrote into the key spot of a
high school annual, for all the
years to come, the very corner-
stone of communistic ideology,
promising .unearned living for
the many at the expense of the

few; substance from the dili-
gent for those who are less de-
serving.
In the "Viking Log" for 1M1.
published by the Northeast
High School of St. Petersburg,
on page 117, introducing the
activities of Organizations,
someone succeeded in getting
into print as the slogan and in-
spirational note of student ac-
tivities. this deadly quotation:
"From each according to his
abilities,
To each according to his
need."
(Karl Marx)
It is doubtful that the man-
aging committee of students
realized what was being done
when that slogan slipped into
their yearbook. But it is there!
The faculty supervisor may
have missed it, or deliberately
let it get by. The Principal did
not stop it. And a happy bunch
of graduates have their most
important Yearbook besmirch-
ed and disgraced with the key-
note of communism staring
them in the face when they
turn to that part of their book
describing the activities of high
school days.
When called about it, the
Principal is quoted as having
said it was only a "mistake"
and people were not really con-
cerned about it. A similar reac-
tion was reported from the Su-
perintendent of Public Instruc-
tion.
It is significant that when the
students looked for a slogan to
introduce the important section
on Organizations, the idea that
came up was a quote from Karl
Marx. Does that mean that the
ideas of Karl Marx, imbued in
them in various ways, popped
up when a significant quote was
needed? Were there none
among them to think of or
search for quotes from the un-
told riches of the Bible, our
great writers, statesmen, and
founders of our country? Did
the students have to go to the
Father of Communists, atheists,
and destroyers of freedom to
find the thought that Organiza-
tion meant to them?

which rises with the sun during
this period.
Of course, the uncomfortable
commuter might disagree and
insist that the days were so
named because dogs are most
likely to get rabies at this time,
as some superstitious people
once believed.
Sirius, the brightest star in
the heavens, radiates about 27
to ¡40 times as much light as the
sun. That's not why the weather
is so hot. but it is a reason why
we pay any attention at all to
the star.
Another reason is that Sirius,
which is the head of the con-
stellation Canis Major, or Great
Dog. doesn't travel alone. It has
a companion star made up of
material that is about 50,000
times as dense as water. One
cubic inch of material from this
star would weigh about one ton
on the earth.
This fat friend was the first
such "white dwarf" star dis-
covered.
