Editorials Beware of Cockroaches Some night the lights in your kitchen have been turned off for quite a little while, walk in and flick on the switch. You may be startled and very surprised to see small creatures scampering for shelter. These revolting pests that are so fond of the dark answer to the name of Cockroach. They stay fairly well hidden during the day, but at night when it is dark and still what a time they have, soiling everything with their excretions and tainting food completely and dangerously. You don't want the Cockroach family living with you, says the Iowa State Department of Health.

They spread disease organisms responsible for many intestinal diseases in humans. It is not at all unusual to have these disease-carrying pests and not know it. Often they are brought into a home in boxes of food supplies and even in one's laundry. Not only do they eat foods of all kinds, they also enjoy leather goods, woolens, and other matter. It is possible for them to be lurking in many places, so it is a good idea to take a careful look at all packages brought into your house.

Since cockroaches are terrifically attracted to exposed food, it should always be put away and covered tightly. The more crumbs and dirty dishes left around, the more cockroaches there will be all of them simply delighted to live with you. When you flick on that kitchen light and see these creatures scampering for shelter, watch where they go, then put roach killer around hiding places, remembering to observe all precautions on manufacturers' labels. Bug killers can poison people, if taken internally. Remember to especially watch children and their pets.

A few of the places Mr. Cockroach is especially happy to hide are along the backs of cabinets, around drainboards, behind radiators, and under the trim of doors and windows. Using puny or plastic wood to fill cracks will help close many openings the roaches use to hide in or escape through. OPINIONS of Others Who thinks only of himself is hopelessly uneducated. He is not educated, no matter how instructed he may be.

President Butler, Columbia University. In country after country, Communism has proved an economic failure. People fleeing Communism are fleeing a life of grinding poverty, food shortages, crowded housing, hard work and low pay. In no nation that Communists rule is found anything like the prosperity that people enjoy in free Western nations. U.

S. News and World Report. Missed opportunity is the price of total reliance on comfortable security. Dr. Edmund C.

Neuhas. The vast majority of people are optimists. Life would be unbearable otherwise. If everybody always thought of all the bad things that might happen, we would be a race of hypochondriacs and the suicide rate would be exceedingly high. But at it is, most of us just need a faint ray of hope and up comes the Silver lining with the promise of a bright day ahead.

Henry Biel. Religion brings fulfillment to life with dynamic peace. Dr. Daniel Marsh. In our youth, the perfect gift for an 18-year-old girl was a compact.

It still is, if it has four wheels. Roicoe Poland. As long as we prevent women from becoming astronauts the man in the moon is aafe. A. H.

Hallock. I NT I NO Ay R. A1.G. Firmness is that admirable quality in ourselves that is merely stubborness in others. A "booming" industry in the U.

S. at present is the manufacture of wigs for fashion-conscious women. Fashion is literally going to milady's head and harried wig makers are "tearing their hair out" trying to find sufficient human hair to meet the new demands. Raw hair prices have recently increased 300 per cent. So if you have a few good strands you don't need, here's your chance to move it at a profit provided you can get the name and address of a wig maker.

Most leading fashion houses and department stores now stock custom-made wigs, ranging in price from $50 to $400, depending on the type of hair used. Biggest market for the ready-to-wear coiffures, according to industry spokesmen, are style-conscious women seeking to enlarge their hairdo Until recent federal restriction on imports interfered, a large percentage of the hair being used by the U. S. wig makers was coming from Communist China. Wig makers have now turned to lesser-grade Asian and synthetic-fiber hair.

The highest-quality hair in the past was imported from Europe, but this supply falls far short of the demand. We didn't know until this week that the U. S. now has a Jog 'population of 30 million approximately onfa dog for every six persons. Dogowners of the nation now spend three quarters of a billion dollars a year on their dogs.

In addition to purchasing food for their canines they buy toys, tranquilifers, boots, pajamas, mink coats, hats, sweaters, spangled collars, hah coloring, shampoos, perfumes, contact lenses, life insurance, hospitalitation policies, canine college training, etc. Is business going to level off in America? Not from the standpoint of industrial output, it is safe to predict. For example, the Automobile industry fully expects to have 20,000,000 more cars on the road eight years hence than there is today or a total by 1970 of 80 million cars. Too many service stations? Not likely, with that many more cars due off the assembly lines. One Russian astronaut radioed a complaint to Moscow this week that the guy ahead of him was refusing to yield the right of way.

Yorktown would have been enough for that. It wasn't just hatred of ty- rany. Hatred always destroys itself. But it was a commitment to freedom for everyone. Freedom is not a state but a process, never completed, always to be worked at.

Official City and Ceunty Newspaper Price Per Copy Ten Cents Sufcwrlettleii Rales 1 year $400; 3 years ST.W; yaars $11.00 I see by the papers where Commerce Secretary Hodges says 10 per cent of the folks working in his department was gitting paid to do jobs started 40 year ago and that don't exist no more. He said he couldn't do nothing about it on account of all of 'em belongs to the Civil Service and can't git fired.

He told the Civil Service Commission that they was two and one-half million employees in the executive department of the Guvernment and that 250,000 of them was dead wood, hired to do jobs that has now disappeared. He figgered it would save the taxpayers nearly $2 billion dollars a year if we could git rid of this dead wood in Guvern ment jobs. Secretary Hodges was wasting his time, Mister Editor, discussing these items with them Washington bureaucrats. Onct they start a project in Washington, they aim to keep it going till eternity. Senator Byrd was telling not long ago about die feller that got kicked out the front door of the Treasury Department and had to go all the way around to the back to git hired again.

And I recollect Senator Smith of North Carolina telling about the time he called up the State Department to see if he could git a job fer a constituent. The Department head ask Senator Smith what the feller could do. "Nothing," said the honest Senator. "Fine, 1 said the Department head, "we won't have to break him in." It's mighty hard, Mister Editor, to git the hogs off the corn, especial the Washing ton breed of the hog family Out our way, the news item of the week was about Bug Hookum gitting one them air conditioning gadgets that you put in the window. The fellers at the country store Saturday night was a little upset over this item.

Ed Vander Laan allowed as how this was some more of that "status" business you reac about in the papers. Ed said he could recollect when Clem Webster put up the first TV an tenna in the neighborhood and it wasn't two months afore ever wife fer miles around hat to have a TV and one of them things atickini up over the roof. The fellers kept waiting fc Bug to show up and offer a apology fer sue! strange behavior. But Bug never showed Ed reckoned he was selling at home trying to git his money's worth out of the thing. Personal, I don't need one fer "status" on account of owing enough at th Bank to keep my "status" in good shape.

Them new-fangled contraptions ain 1 fer a old timer like me. I come along in a ag when the moon was used fer romance and not fer apace travel.
