EXPERIMENTERS TRY
MOST EVERYTHING
Dr. Kurt Lewin, a child psychologist, performed an
illuminating experiment with groups of school child-
ren, but the experiment should have been carried fur-
ther.
He had the groups establish little governments of
their own, and after a while he peeked in on them to
see how they were doing.
His conclusions were that in an autocracy the
"social tension seems to be due to lack of free-
dom," whereas in a state of anarchy the tension
seems to be due to the lack of "long-range plan-
ning and meaningful time perspective."
He should have established a democracy in the
midst of autocracies and anarchies, too. There he prob-
ably would have found that the tension seems to be
due (a) to the existence of neighboring autocracies
and anarchies, (b) to a fear of long-range planning,
(c) to a fear of insufficient planning, and (e) to a
fear of too much freedom.
EVEN CHICKENS
HAVE THEIR DAY
t The city of Springfield, 111., had a community cele-
bration awhile ago that was a honey. The mayor pro-
claimed a special day, and everybody rolled up his
"sleeves and pitched in with the kind of civic spirit that
builds mighty nations.
They all had chicken for dinner. The occasion was
"Chicken Dinner Day"—created by official proclama-
tion and destined for annual observance henceforth.
Think of Springfield observing a Chicken Din-
ner Day all by itself! Think of the hundreds of
thousands of chickens all over the rest of this
fair land! How do you suppose they feel? The
turkey has his day, Thanksgiving; the goose,
Christmas; the duck, New Year's. The chicken is
about as American a bird as you could imagine,
and here she is, quite Day-less everywhere but in
Springfield.
Of course Springfield has a special reason for cele-
brating. Hatching chicks is one of its major indus-
tries. But, still, it does bring to the attention a la-
mentable neglect of a highly popular national hero—
or, rather, heroine.
Something ought to be done about it. There
must be a solution. Around the corner somewhere.
If that two-chicken pot hasn't rusted.

To The Voters of West Texas
To all voters and those who love liberty, peace and plenty:
Vote for the Candidate from Governor to Constable who has
the energy and fortitude to declare himself in favor of the
old folks. We want Papa and Mama to at lease have enough,
of the comforts of life that they will not suffer. '
They pioneered this country and made it possible for us
to live here in comfort. We owe this much at least to the
aged. When you vote, vote for the man that you can depend
upon.
