B Team Player
Receives Injury
During Practice
Bill Tom Chitwood, 135-pound
junior end on the B team, broke
his shoulder in football scrimmage,
with, the A team Tuesday after-
noon. The break was not serious
and his shoulder is not in a cast.
He returned to school Wednesday
afternoon..
. Bill Tom was one of two B string
boys plajdng against the A team
Bill Torn complained about pain
in his shoulder early in practice
but didn’t realize that his shoulder
was broken until later. It is likely
that Bill Tom will not be able to
play the rest of the season. Th<£
injury will take fram four to six
weeks to heal.
His loss will be felt by his team-
mates since he is more experienced
in football than most of the team.
The B team lost their first game
to Price College B team 18-2 Sept.
25 and played Canyon B at Can-
yon last night. They will play
their first home game Oct. 9
against the White Deer B team.

Family Security Plans Have
Top Priority in Budgets
Every year for more than 20
years, families in the United States
have set aside at least five cents out
of every dollar left after taxes to
pay for personal and family security
programs. And as a result, these
families now own more than 250 bil-
lion dollars of life insurance, have
the largest investment in history in
pensions and retirement plans, and
have a system of sickness and acci-
dent insurance which protects at
least half of the population.
Studies going back to 1929 show
that payments for family security
plans enjoy one of the highest priori-
ties in the budget arrangements of
American families. Families tend to
increase their cash savings and in-
vestments in good times and de-
crease them in bad times; life in-
surance premiums and other kinds
of long-term security payments con-
tinue through the years at a much
more even pace.
In estimating how much Mr. and
Mrs. America pays for family fi-
nancial security, economists include
life insurance premiums, payments
into pension and retirement funds,
accident and hospitalization insur-
ance and servicemen’s, fraternal
and savings bank lifo insurance. In
1950 the total paid by the public for
all kinds of financial security
amounted to some 16 billion dol-
lars, including nearly three billion
dollars which were paid as social
security taxes.
The importance which Americans
place upon life insurance is reflected
in the fact that voluntarily they are
putting some eight billion dollars
every year into life insurance premi-
ums. This represents the largest
single item in the nation’s “bill”
for family security.

Last year Carson and Armstrong
counti es held special tours to both
stations. We have been extended
this invitation again but those who
can, should by all means attend
the scheduled tours Oct. 7 and
Oct. 'll. Much can be gained by
visiting these stations.

Combat Rotation Prevents
Breakdowns Among Soldiers
The beneficial effects of combat
rotation, initiated a year ago in
Korea, have fulfilled favorable ex-
pectations by preventing break-
downs among soldiers in battle,
according to Dr. Albert J. Glass,
psychiatrist at the Letterman Gen-
eral Hospital, San Francisco.
“As currently practiced in Korea,
rotation is a powerful incentive to
positive motivation by providing an
obtainable goal of relief from bat-
tle,” Dr. Glass says.
“It has also prevented the break-
down of the type produced by pro-
longed periods of combat, or the
so-called ‘old sergenat syndrome.’ ”
Adjustment of the newcomer to
military service during the training
period, likewise, has brought about
considerably less hospitalization for
minor emotional difficulties than oc-
curred during World War II, he
said.
Dr. Glass reported that effective
forward psychiatric treatment of
battle-affected soldiers was insti-
tuted in the Korean campaign with-
in six to eight weeks after the onset
of hostilities, as against a delay of
nearly two years in World War II.
Missouri Commercial Fishing
Missouri’s commercial fishermen
harvested 540,000 pounds of fish
mostly carp, buffalo and catfish dur-
ing 1951, according to state conser-
vation commission figures. The take
included 298,200 pounds from the
Mississippi; 227,800 pounds from the
Missouri and 14,400 pounds from
Arkansas boundary waters of the
St. Francis river. The live-weight
retail value of this harvest was es-
timated at $133,000. The 1951 catch
was about 21 per cent below that of
1950. The decline in the commercial
catch may have resulted from ad-
verse fishing conditions in the Mis-
souri and Mississippi rivers brought
about by the Missouri river flood.
The flood not only curtailed fishing
on the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers, but also caused losses of
tackle and fishing equipment.

Zoos In U.S.
The first zoological garden in the
United States was established in
Philadelphia in 1874. Since that time
nearly every large city in the coun-
try has acquired a zoo. Among the
larger zoos are the celebrated Bronx
Zoo and the Central Park in New
York—and those in St. Louis, De-
troit, Kansas City, Chicago—one in
Lincoln Park, another magnificent
display at Brookfield—and San Die-
go. The United States National Zo-
ological Park in Washington, in a
beautiful setting of hills, woods and
streams, was established in 1890 by
an act of congress. Some of the U.S.
zoos exhibit their collection in
open-air barless pits; the Brook-
field zoo in Chicago follows this pat-
tern.
No Smoking
Six hundred delegates from 40
countries gathered in Amsterdam,
Holland, for the World Tobacco
Congress. They discussed the grow-
ing and curing of tobacco, the tastes
of cigarette, cigar and pipe smok-
ers all over the world. But not
one wisp of smoke rose from the
rows of delegates or the conference
tables of their committees. The to-
baccomen just happened to meet in
the Dutch Royal Tropical Institute
where, they were told, smoking is
strictly forbidden.
Suffrage Is Extended
Since the United Nations Charter
was adopted in 1945, full or less
limited suffrage to women has been
extended by 22 countries. Women
still have no political rights in 15
countries.
When Adlai Stevenson was born,
lis sister Elizabeth, called Buffie
in the family, had already been on
the scene for over two years. Ac-
rording to the psychologists, sec-
ond children often consider them-
selves to be family interlopers,
obliged to justify their presence
by especially good behavior. In the
case of Adlai, there were no sub-
sequent arrivals
to diminish this
illusion. Being a
I serious and sensi-
tive child, he en-
deared himself to
everyone by ex-
j c e 11 e n t deport-
ment. When, on
rare occasions,
| his conduct left
something to be
desired, he was
more upset by it
Gov. Stevenson than anyone.
Adlai’s grandfather Davis gave
him a red-handled jack knife. A
few days later, Adlai mislaid it.
His grandfather found it. Think-
ing to teach his grandson a gentle
lesson in prudence, he asked him
at lunch whether he liked his new
knife.
“I’ve lost it," said Adlai, and
broke into tears of remorse before
his grandfather could fish the knife
out of his pocket.
On another occasion, Stevenson,
like countless small boys before
him, yanked a table cloth, causing
some china to fall and break. In
this instance, his self-reproach was
fcven more acute than it had been
in that of the knife. He retreated
to a dog-kennel where his worried
parents discovered him several
hours later, sleeping on the straw.
A Tragic Accident
What happened one Christmas
holiday evening was that his sis-
ter Buffie, who felt as protective
about Adlai as he felt admiring of
her had been given permission by
her parents to have a few of her
friends for supper. It was to be a
teen-age'party. Mr. and Mrs. Ste-
venson went out to call on friends.
Adlai Stevenson had his supper
early but was allowed to join his
elders later.
One of the boys present was a
student at a military academy.
Alter dinner, it was suggested that
he entertain the others by going
through the manual of arms. Adlai
was sent to get a twenty-two rifle.
The military academy student ex-
amined the gun carefully, to make
sure that there were no bullets in
the barrel or the magazine. Then
he executed the manual of arms,
to the applause of everyone. Adlai
was given the gun to hold. He
tried to copy the motions of his
sister’s friend. It was at that mo-
ment that the gun went off.
Later investigation showed that
one shell in the gun—perhaps be-
cause of a rusty spring in the
ejecting mechanism—had failed to
emerge in the pre-drill inspection.
During the manual of arms the
gun had been shaken and the slock
thumped on the floor. This had
loosened the spring and released
the bullet. Thus, by the time Adlai
got the gun in his hands, through
no fault whatsoever upon his part,
it had become a lethal weapon.
The bullet entered Ruth Mer-
win’s forehead. She fell dead, on
the carpet in the hall: The elder
Stevensons returned a few minutes
“What boy did this?” Adlai’s
father asked.
“I did,” said Adlai. Then he went
up to his room and lay down on
the bed.
Boyhood ,
After finishing grade school in
Bloomington, young Adlai was sent
to the high school at Bloomington’s
twin town of Normal, which func-
tioned as a sort of practice field
for the teachers attending the
State Normal University founded
by his great-grandfather Fell. At
Normal, Stevenson was preparing
to enter Princeton. The efforts of
the school to enable young Steven-
son to matriculate at. Princeton
were a lamentable failure. The
sum of Stevenson’s marks in his
first three college board examina-
tions was insufficient to have giv-
en him a passing grade in any one
of them. His father concluded that
Normal was a misnomer either for
the school or for his son and sent
the latter off to Choate, an Eastern
preparatory institution noted for
its high scholastic standards.
At Choate, cast in his customary
role of late-coming stranger, Ste-
venson, who had already acquired
the family knack for writing gen-
erally, and, for reporting in par-
ticular, quickly observed that the
road to renown lay in heeling the
Choate News, an unusually hand-
some prep-school journal. He
made the paper and was elected
editor-in-chief and president of his
class for what should have been
his third and final year. By this
time, however, the U. S. had en-
tered World War I and Choate
sixth formers were scampering off
to enlist. Stevenson finished the
school year of 1918 and then en-
listed in the United States Naval
Reserve unit at Princeton.
In the first world war, the short-
age of naval personnel was less
acute than in World War II but
the shortage of ships was more
acute. At landlocked Princeton,
Stevenson put in most of his time
marching up and down Nassau
Street with his fellow apprentice
seamen, learning the nautical
terms for floors, doors and stair-
ways, and rowing up and down
Carnegie Lake in a whaleboat.
Even the whaleboats were in there,
lest any of their time be wasted,
An admiral who had sailed in
wooden ships taught them to tie
knots in rope. Before they got a
chance to utilize these skills, hos-
tilities had ended.
What the Choate News is to
Choate, the Daily Princetonian is
to Princeton. Stevenson competed
for a position on the board in his
sophomore year, won it in the first
competition and eventually be-
came the paper’s managing editor,
as well as an elected member of
the senior council.

Red Cross Needs
Equipment Returned
Carson County Chapter of thei
American Red Cross is asking
your assistance. At eht present
all hospital beds are out of the
store room. Most of the wheel
chairs are out and practically all
of the crutches are out. Small
bedroom equipment, pans, etc, are
also scarece articles in the Red
Cross room in the Carson county
court house.
Most of this equipment is in
use, but those who have such
equipment belonging to the Red
Cross and not using it at the pres-
ent time are asked to bring it
to the court house as soon as
possible. Once in a while a bor-
rower loans the equipment to a
neighbor and that neighbor is not
listed on the list*of borrowers.
The Carson county chapter has
one of the best equipped supply
rooms in the entire Southwest. The
Red Cross is glad it can be of
service to the community. Right
now your Red Cross is receiving
calls for needed articles that are
not in the store room. If the article
borrowed is actually in use, please
feel free to continue using it. If,
however, you have finished with it,
pleasse make a special effort to
bring it back at once. If you have
equipment ready to come back, but
have no means of bringing it to
the court house, please get word
to the county agent’s office and
some one will call for it. Your
cooperation is needed now.
Covering the Waterfront
A new radio-telephone network,
installed as a civil defense measure,
is guarding New York City’s vast
water supply system. By means of
this new network, a 151-man patrol
force with 24 jeeps, equipped with
radios, keeps a continuous watch
over the city’s 1000-square-mile
watershed area 24 hours a day. The
jeeps can now communicate with
each other over limited distances
ranging from a few miles to 30 or
40 miles, depending on the terrain
separating them. Ultimately, how-
ever, they’ll be abl« to talk with any
of the nine radio headquarters sta-
tions and some 46 radio-equipped
vehicles. Also included in the civil
defense program are two radio-
equipped laboratory vehicles which
can make on-the-spot analyses in
case of suspected or actual radio-
logical or bacteriological attack by
an enemy.

TO BACK “DESERTERS”
Editor The Herald:
Your paper containing your
strong and forthright editorials on
•the present political situation has
been sent to me. I’ve read every
on of them with great interest
and appreciation.
I am in complete agreement
with your views with the excep-
tion, that you have declared sup-
port of the nominees on the Dem-
ocratic ticket, regardless of their
defections politically. In this you
may be, and probably are, right,
but I respectfully disagree.
I think “bolters” and as I call
them “deserters” should be given
dishonorable, discharges from the
Democratic party. That, in my
opinion could be done effectively,
by stricking the names of all ’’bolt-
ers” and “deserters” iij the general
election.
in your fine editorial of Sept. 12
you cite the fact that J. E. Mc-
Donald, a consistant “bolter” was
re-elected repeatedly, until White
defeated him in 19 50. Why? Sim-
ply because the voters were not
advised to strick his name off the
ballot in the general election, as
a “deserter” of his party. If that
had been done, I am persuaded
to believe we would have gotten
rid of him, long before we did.
(In this connection, I as a mem-
ber of the House of Representa-
tives voted to impeach McDonald
for official misconduct. He was not
impeached, but did stand up and
take an official reprimand from
the Speaker of the House for
official misconduct.)
Anyhow, I appreciate to the
highest, your valiant stand for
Democratic victory in this crucial
year.

DEMOCRATIC PAPER
Editor The Herald:
Our daughter Pauline (Mrs.
John Hash) has sent me several
clippings from The Herald, and
I wish to compliment you on the
stand you have taken. It makes
me know there are still some
Texans who have not gone berserk.
Now, I cannot understand how
so many people can make such a
big TO-DO over something until
the test comes. Iam positive that
a man with the fine character,
perceptive ability and the moral
escellence will do the right thing
for his government and for all
of the people in general—and just
such a man do I believe is our
Democratic nominee, Adlai Stev-
enson.
Dave, do you know of any real
Democratic newspapers? Of course,
I know the press situation. But
if I could find which would give
us the Fair Deal, I’d love for Mr.
Rorex to have it to read, for he
cannot do much else. Now, here
is a check for The Herald, and

College Planning
Big Homecoming
Saturday, Oct. 11
CANYON—Preparations for the-
West Texas State College’s big
annual Homecoming celebration,
Saturday, Oct. 11, are under wajr
here with duties from slicing
onions to scrubbing pots and pans
being assigned facuty members by
a steering committee.
Wood for the barbecue fires has
already been cut and stacked on
the ranch of Terrill Christian, an
ex-student who lives near Claude.
The class of 1927 will be ob-
serving its 2 5th reunion at home-
coming this year, and the majority
of the 84 men and women who
were graduated that year are ex-
pected back, according to Milton
“Buff” Morris, executive secretary
of the Ex-students Association.
Registration of all partakers of
the largess of the barbecue slated
at noon, will be asked this year
to facilitate the process of feeding
visitors. Last year, between 5,000
and 6,000 persons were accom-
modated in the bread lines, and
this year a registration tag will
be necessary to obtain food.
Registration may be made in
advance by ex-students, according-
to Morris, through the Ex-Stu-
dents office on the campus. Mail
reservations are already being ac-
cepted, and registration cards will
be ready when exes return.
Programs for the week end, as
outlined by the steering committee
will in general follow that the past
few years, highlighted by the
home-coming parade at 10 a. m.
the free barbecue at noon and the
football game at 2:30 p. m. be-
tween the Buffaloes and New
Mexico A. & M. Western attire will
be in order on the campus be-
ginning Oct. 9, and a sheriff’s
posse will be seeding those not
appropriately dressed as victims
for their horse tank.
Adding Zest
If the flavor of a salad made
from left-overs is dull, you can add
a little lemon juice if it’s a fruit
salad, or a dash of relish Or snappy
cheese if it’s a meat or vegetable
salad.
