GREENVILLE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20,1953 RECORD- ARGUS EDITORIAL PAGE Danger in France The Communists hover like vultures over every government which weak and unstable. The delight of the Reds over the general striken in France has been unbounded. Workers, the greatest part of thnm unsympathetic to Communism, have been staying away from their jobs in protest ngalnst government economy dn- rrces. The position of Joseph banlel, not very secure even when he became Premier, has been wrakenecl further. The Communists, while they may have had an indirect Influence on the calling of the cannot be blamed for starting the rtotiblc this time.

But they did not waste any time Jn adding to the turmoil once it had started. The Reds hope that Parliament may have to be recalled. Parliament has granted Premier Lanlel. certain emergency powers and If It is called back because of the filrlkes these powers may be revoked, a move which would force Lanlel to resign. This could bring about new general elections and a now chance for the Communists to increase their strength.

For a long time the French people have closed their eyes to the realities of economics and politics. Unless they show some willingness to accept facts, to allow a government of strength and purpose to try to balance the national budget and restore France to a position of political maturity, the Communists or the parties of the extreme right may take over. Tills would be bad for the rest of the world as well as for France. Frenchmen must make their decision and make it soon, seems to be running out.

But when he mh Time Passing of An Era One great asset of old-time political candidates is passing out of existence.

The once familiar log cabin, made of undressed' logs hewn with an axe but never sawed, is disappearing, according to Zclinsky, associate in geography at the University of Wisconsin, reporting to the American Geographical Society. In 1934, he says, Georgia had 15,000 log cabins, in 1951 only 10,000 to 12,000. The same decline must hold true for other slates. A candidate for office who came from a log cabin was obviously of humble origin and self-made. Both attributes were political assets.

William Henry Harrison was elected President in 1840, largely because of the log cabin origin his supporters claimed for him. Lin- ocln and Garfield suffered no political harm from their log cabin pasts. Logically a candidate born in a city tenement and therefore just as poor, should profit from his familiarity with poverty and rise to better things. It has not worked out that way, as Al Smith found when he ran for President in 1928. One reason may be the feeling, still widespread in the United States, that city residence is in some degree undesirable, certainly inferior to dwelling in the country or small town.

you! Everything about your dress your posture, your Impression on others Is definitely Influenced by your being free soul enough to stand alone ngalnst the tonsorial trend. And if you're like me, you love It! A gallant gentlcVnan once told me that nothing Is so provocative as a woman with long hair. Seeing it confined In a formal hairdo automatically makes him wOn- der what ahe looks like with It down! Nature has generously endowed woman-kind with several interesting gimmicks. Some, with modern politeness, arc currently collectively termed "curvaceousness." But our most exciting gimmick has always been our hair. Spiritual leaders have long known this and have taken what steps they could to control it.

Wearing hats In church became a custom because our ancestors believed the sight of woman's hair was likely to take man's mind off things. Among Orthodox Jews a wife's hair was customarily cut off at marriage to ruin her attractiveness to other men, and it was also thought to insure frtiltfulness. Virgins in primitive tribes often wore their hair loose and flowing, but once they'd become wives, it was cut short or bound up. Given this abundant adornment and a sense of adventure, woman naturally considered how she might use it to dramatize her personality and enhance her beauty. When, trying to look alluring and at the same time keep her hair out of the family stew as she stirred it over the campfirc, the first prehistoric pretty gathered her locks up with a thong, the hairdressing industry was born.

The "Snood," against which half nearly scalped mo in his efforts to pull me to my fret revived. Revived! I nearly fainted for real. "Get off my hair," I hissed at Giuseppe, sotto voce, thereby becoming the first person In history to hiss a sentence without a single 'S' In it. But he was singing so lustily he heard nothing and only the curtain's call at the end of the scene terminated this "hair-raising" episode. Against such disadvantages, however, I get an Innocent happiness from the economy of never buying hats and the pleasure of having so many different hair-dos I can, like Cleopatra, present an "Infinite variety," In appearance at least.

The predatory male has at various times in history tried to get into the act. In the 17th and 18th centuries particularly, men wore elaborate wigs and fancy hair-dos. But the girls have been smart to talk them out of such doings and been able to keep long hair atrlctly for themselves. It's been one of tho best weapons In Woman's arsenal of tricks ever since the first caveman dragged her off to his iair by it, thinking he'd made a conquest nndwas bringing home a trophy. Actually the poor fellow had probably been lured into it.

Dames who dally with the dye- pot today no longer have to face the scandalized criticism of the dowagers of the 20's. But the occasional free soul like myself wno lets hair grow unchecked in a short-haired era encounters an endless tizzy of question and comment. You might think such interest, would be confined to fashion- minded females.

Not so, I've had dozens of letters from balding men who figure my floor-length hair is due to some complicated oeauty secret which, shared with them, would repair the damages of time to their own pates. Honestly, I can't see why anyone bothers witrf short hair, and the need for regular beauty parlor appointments, or having to go to bed at night covered with bobby-pins like a porcupine. Long hair, once done, put all day. No vagrant wind ruffles it, no rain takes the curl out of it. And because today's hairdressers, spoiled by the uniformity of shorthaired styles, are disinterested in the challenge of long hair, the lavish-tressed lass does her own, saving money.

Children's Bureau consultant, "but the fact that she who is only a freshman, only a child herself, is pregnant is a disconcerting discovery to say the least." Of the illegitimate babies born in 1950, when the last official count was made, more than half were to girls less than 20 years of age, and more than half of these mothers were 17 or under. Some of the explanations society has offered are mental defectiveness, excessive sexual energy, ignorance, poverty; immoral, alcoholic and "irresponsible" parents, inadequate recreational outlets, lack of religious or moral training, and delinquent companions. Babette Block, of the Family Service Bureau of Chicago, says the number of feeble-minded mothers is jnfinitesmal, that many highly intelligent girls get pregnant, that experience has clearly shown that sex is no rcspector of social intellectual or economic levels.

Kxaclly what, deponent salth not. But we shall see what we shall see, to coin an old phrase. Briefly, and leaving aside the heavy mathematics, the situation is this: Some 5,000 years ago, more or less, the Grand Pyramid was built in Egypt, within sight of the slow- flowing Nile. It became the tomb nf a King, Cheops, and Queen.

was a mighty mausoleum, a monument to a man's ego, a mi- racular feat of presumably nothing more. But was It? For about a century now. srk-n- lowed with additional calculations, based on his measurement. They theorized that tho pyramid had been built in conformity With some orthodox astronomical principles principles well known In modern science, but presumably far beyond the knowledge of tho ancient Egyptians. Future, Claim From this came a still more sen- sadonal theory, namely, that the pyramid foretells the wfcole future of this world, the fate ot-natlona, the wars, armagcddon, and BO to (lie end.

They noted that the four sides of the base correspond to the cardinal points of the compass. And they found the aperture focussed on I ho North Star.

Other facts emerged, things that 1 seemed to indicate tho pyramid was something more than just a pile of massive slono, honeycombed with passageways and the crypts of the King and'Queen.

Lynus Shaffer and Ford Smith, employes of the company discovered that a fire had been built dirctly under the building, which was elevated form theground.

The building at the time contained about 100 kegs of powder and many cases of dynamite. The company had offered a reward of $50 for the conviction of the parties. 70 Years Ago Ground had been broken at New Castle for the connecting link between that city and West Middlesex, uniting the N.Y.P. O. Railroad with the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad and the Pittsburgh Western Railroad on the south side of that city.

passageways, the intersections of ground lines, and in fact, the relationship between each of the various parts of the these things symbolize some significant event on earth, past and future. The crucifixion, the flight of the Israelites from Egypt, and so on, presumably are marked. So, In this theory, arc coming events. However, the batting average for tho "prophecy i stonn" has not been very high, so far. Some predictions never came off at all.

The calculators fixed a number of dates which already have passed without any notable happenings. And they seem to have missed, entirely, that fateful day Sept. 2, 1939. when World War II started. This, of course, was a considerable oversight, to say the least.

So new measurements were made, and new calculations drawn on a different basis. That produced all the decisive points of World War II the re-figuring was done after these events took place. In any case, long years ago, the men who try to read the "prophecy in stone' 'set down today, Aug. 20, 1953, as a day of destiny. It would be nice to know what the pyramid has in store for us.

Maybe somebody will announce the invention of 4D. Maybe Malen- kov will disband the Red army. Maybe Christian Dior will out for no skirts at all. Well, by midnight tonight we ought to know. Watch the papers and stick close to your radio.
