BURIED GOLD
IN DENTON?
MAY 88. 1*48
After one of the workers at the
site of the excavation for the new
library building in City Park turn-
ed up a buried keg and took it
home Saturday, rumors of hidden
gold circulated through Denton.
The police, members of the city
park board and many Bentonites
took picks and shovels to the area
Saturday night and all day Sunday.
But after hours of digging, they
discovered nothing.
When the workman returned to
his job Monday, he was literally
pelted with questions from all
sides. His answer was to show
them the "treasure keg” — which
contained much dirt. and a few
very rusty nails.

No one can say for sure how much Communist in-
fluence lies behind the anti-American demonstrations
- in South America, Lebanon and Algeria.
But even if the Kremlin leaders themselves pushed
the button that touched off these almost simultaneous
indignities against the United States, a much more sig-
nificationt factor is involved.
The mere fact that it was possible to foment such
demonstrations should make it clear that in the pro-
cess of becoming the greatest power in the free world,
we have so far failed to win the respect such power
deserves.
Nowhere was this more evident than in Latin Amer-
ica, whose people we have regarded (and in many
senses neglected) as our good neighbors to the south.
The climactic violence in Venezuela, where Caracas
mobs atoned Vice President Nixon’s car and spat on
him and his party, was undoubtedly Communist-in-
spired. But it was also apparent the non-Red major-
ity of the fiery-tempered Latin mobs were giving vent
to bitterness over the fact we have given sanctuary
to ousted Venezuelan dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez
and his hated police chief, Pedro Estrada.
\
Underlying this open bitterness is a smouldering
resentment, not only in Venezuela but in many an- -
other country, oyer rising tariffs, reduction Lof import
quotas, slashes in foreign aid, our story silence on stab-
ilization of commodity prices.
America has a right to be indignant over the way
these resentments were aired. But we will not win
the respect we need'in Caracas, Beirut and Algiers
by indignation alone. ------- ------------------
Our ultimate victory lies in a constructive, positive
attitude that befits America's great power.
The FBI reports that last year juveniles under 18
accounted for an astounding 47.2 per cent of all the
people arrested for such major crimes as murder,
rape, robbery, aggravated assault and so on.
This grim bit of information caused the Wall Street
Journal to inquire into the possible causes behind the
soaring juvenile crime rate. One, it believes, lies in
the increased assumption by the state of responsibility
for children and the consequent lessening of parental
’ ' responsibility— that is “the schools now undertake
to teach things that ought to be taught at home.” And
the emphasis on the progressive theory of education
has undoubtedly undermined self-discipline and re-
spect for authority.
.. The Journal also points to another far-reaching
change in our society. “Somehow we have allowed
the age of a criminal to so tip the balance that a hide-
ous crime by a person old enough to vote becomes
the bewildered act of an unfortunate child if he is
young enough to fit within the juvenile laws. Can it
be that this attitude of softness is itself an invitation
to juvenile crime?”
Society, in self-defense if for no other reason, will
have to realize that crime is crime, no matter what
the age of the offender, and act accordingly. To quote
the Journal again, there will be small chance of im-
provement in this intolerable situation “. . . until
youngsters are held more responsible for their crimes
' and until parents again become more responsible for
their youngsters.”

Henry Hazlitt writes in Newsweek: “Unemploy-
ment insurance as such can only be preserved if it is
strictly separated from relief. What we really need
now is not to desert the insurance principle but to
return to it more strictly. A big step in that direction
migh be to have the workers themselves contribute
directly toward the premiums, as they have always
done in Britain, and in our own federal old-age insur-
ance system.”

The Story Of Little Boy

Party lines will mean next to

osophies of the Republicans and
the Democrats are so parallel that
this year, more than ever in my

west is feeling the recession more

Prejudices
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
There is room for everything
but racial prejudice in the home
of the Rev. Howard E. May Jr.,
pastor of the Federated Churches
of Willington, Conn.
In addition to their own 10-
year-old son, the Rev. Mr. May
and his wife are raising three
children of different races they
adopted during a missionary tour
of Alaska.
The youngsters are Sue Anne. 2,
born of Eskimo parents; Jeanette,
5. Chinese-Japanese; David, 19,
Aleut-Scandinavian; and their own
child Kenneth
The only problem, says the Rev.
Mr May. is adjusting the children
to their new environment. This in-
cludes his own son, who spent 7
of his 10 years in Alaska.
The people of Willington have
accepted the diverse family group,
says the minister, but “the chil-
dren realise there is prejudice in
the world. And they understand
it‘s beat merely to shrug their
shoulders whenever it appears.
AWe have tried to teach each
child to be proud of his own in-
dividual background and heri-
tage.”
During his Alaska tour, the Rev.
Mr. May ran a Baptist commu-
nity church and hospital in Cor-
dova, a fishing village of 1,900
persons near Anchorage.
Sister Marv Eleanor, a "shy
Roman Catholic nun, is the only
woman allowed inside the walls of
the federal reformatory in El
Reno. Okla.
She comes to the reformatory
each Saturday afternoon to direct
choir practice — and stays to lend
a willing ear to the problems of
her inmate-students. Often, more
Inmates turn out for talk than for
choir practice.
Most of the inmates are in the
17 to 31 age group, serving sen-
tences of less than two yers.
"They are the unstable ones
who require more rehabilitation,"
says Sister Mary Eleanor, who
teaches at Holy Trinity School in
nearby Okarche.

First Signs
Of Recovery
Are Spotted
By BAM DAWSON . ,
NEW YORK First glimpses
of recovery are reported this week
in a number of industries. Even
with all the caution due such scat-
tered and inconclusive signs they
are heartening — especially since
most of the statistics still are on
the gloomy side.
Better times — or at least an
end of the long decline — arc
sighted by executives in the steel,
copper, electronics, building ma-
terial, synthetic textile and even
the railroad industries.
Steel leaders at the annual
meeting here of the American
Iron and Steel Institute sound al-

important items.
The findings are reported to
Washington. Clague’s staff here
breaks them down and analyses
them. The result is what is known
as the consumer price index which
is the record of living costs.
The 300 items or samples In-
clude over 80 foods, apparel of all
kinds, rents, home ownership
costs, public transportation, auto-
mobiles and their operating coats,
reading and recreation, personal
care and so on.
The index can be divided into
three major,groups; (l) foods, (22 ’
commodities other than foods
and 13) services of all kinds. What
goes into Wm and what happens
to them cab be taken one at a
time:
Foods—This group ranges from
fresh vegetables to meats. There
is a lot of fluctuation in prices
in the food division for many rea-
sons. One important one now is
bad weather which hampered the
growing of certain items, created
shortages and thus forced up the
prices. Clague. explaining the con-
tinued price rise in fresh fruits
and vegetables, said people are
eating more of them and continue
to buy even when the prices rise.
Services—These include items of
personal care, like haircuts, per-
manents. street car fares, recrea-
tion items such as movies, doc- -
tors’ fees and hospital costs.
Clague pointed out the prices bf
these are heavily influenced by
law and by custom. For example:
streetcar fares can be changed
only when approved by a public
service commission.
“The price of a haircut or a vis-
it to a doctor's office," Clague
noted, “is governed to some ex-
tent by custom. They change slow-
ly but, when once raised, they
usually stay there.
"For the past 30 years \ the *
prices of the services represented
in the index have climbed slowly
i
to supply merchandise for stores
in Dallas and Fort Worth. We now
have the opportunity to help es-
tablish and maintain such a store
in Denton, one that not only will
be a source of permanent income
to the Fairhaven Home, but will
also be a bargain center to meet
the needs of folks with border-line
incomas — folks who cannot pos-
sibly supply their family needs
otherwise.
The store is open from 9:30 a.m.
to 5:30 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays
Wednesdays and Thursdays. You
can phone DU2-2305 or DUS-0413.
