Menace Near Home
Xt to on« of the distinguishing marks of Western cul-
ture that an extremely high value is placed on individual
human life. No effort is spared to rescue a child caught
In a well, a hunter lost in the woods, a climber trapped on
a mountainside, an airman down somewhere at sea.
Another facet of this concern is the elaborate precau-
tions we take to prevent accidents in industry and ©n the
highways. The greater the irony, then, that many Ameri-
can communities fail notoriously when it comes to pre-
venting a simple, easily avoidable-yet all too frequent-
kind of accident.
m almost every town there is a pond or a muddy
slough, perhaps several of them, in a residential area.
These are a constant menace to little children, who are
Inevitably attracted to such things. Parental supervision
cannot be constant. The obvious solution is to fence off
the slough and such ponds as are not in open park areas.
It is a way to save lives. But how many towns take the
trouble to do it?

Not Detention Camps
Some time ago Gen. Mark Clark, now head of a Sou- |
them military school, proposed using abandoned military
camps for underpriviledged boys and as a possible aid to j
the solution of Juvenile delinquency. The Idea has been ,
taken up by Gov. Averell Harrlman of New York and Gov. |
George M. Leader of Pennsylvania. j —

of mathematicians, and urges women and girls to enter

Mathematics is a gateway to manifold opportunities.
The high school girl who says that she hates algebra
should take a new look at the subject and at herself, be-
cause mathematical accomplishment may be the key to
work after she leaves school.
Boys also should work hard at arithmetic, algebra and
geometry. For one thing, they should realize that engi-
neering, which many of them probably will wish to study
requires considerable knowledge of mathematics. Its not
easy, but it’s useful. —

I didn't think I was hungry, ,
but Dance understood how it was. ,
He went ahead and poured a cup ,
of coffee and cut a piece of pie, j
and by the time he opened up
the sandwiches I remembered I
