SANDU9KY Hnlihtdr tntf futurt ts fatal I ii Mrvictiblu." A Good Job Quiet, soft-spoken Stanley Martin is ducting this week the strangest school we khow of. Martin calls it workshop for custodial hire in the city school system, Martin believes in doing things the modern way, and as the city schools business manager, he is doing a good job. No longer are the schools leaving things to "by gosh or by gdily." When the school is done, each custodial employe will know his job and what is expected of him. Martin calls it a 'job Martin is also going to make it easier in the schools for "Johnny to Read." The traditional dull colors are to disappear. Instead there will be bright pastels to take advantage of the room's exposure.

Keep up the good ideas, Stan. No Spiral Ahead The Consumer Price Index rose as much In the last three months as it had in the preceding twelve months, but government economists regard the rise as an irregular jump in the prolonged period of price stability, not the start of a new price spiral. For one thing, the wholesale price index, which measures only food and goods, has been steady for more than four years. It was 100.4 in 1958 and the same this past April. Prices fell for poultry, eggs, milk, fuel oil and house furnishings.

Fresh fruits and vegetables rose in price, as did used cars. But the biggest element in the increased cost of living was the rise for services and public transportation leacU ing the way. It costs about 5 per cent more to live now than it did four or five years ago, but that is only if living includes the services that have been steadily rising while the price of goods has stood still. There is no dinger of a runaway price rise, primarily because, while economic activity is strong, it is not bursting at the seams. There is plenty of production capacity to satisfy the present demand, and more to spare before inflation sets in and sparks a real price rise.

Model Penal Code The criminal law has grown up in the United States by scattered and often inconsistent decrees over the years. In an effort to meet the legal profession's responsibility for this situation, the American Law Institute has just finally approved a model penal code that has been under preparation for ten years. Its prime purpose is to bring a unified approach to criminal law in the United States. The law institute is an association of the country's distinguished judges, practitioners arid law professors. It works to codify and modernize the law.

In addition to suggesting Its own solutions to many controversial problems of criminal law, the new code gives detailed reasons for its views and the advantages and disadvantages of other solutions. This is designed to help many states that are re-examining the criminal law. The final result, it is hoped, will be more uniform and modern criminal laws throughout the country. A Farmer's Dilemma Nothing we have seen in the current debate over extending rigid farm controls to almost all products of the farm is so effective an answer as a letter sent by Mr. and Mrs.

0. D. Smith of Saranac, to President Kennedy. This is what they wrote: "We will promptly send you a duly recorded quit claim deed to our 80-acre farm if the program calling for Government control of farm production or anything like it is passed by Congress. Since the Government is determined to run our farm, it's only reasonable that you should own it and pay the taxes and mortgage." The proposed bill would base future production on past performance, with no chance to expand and improve a farm family's condition.

The Smiths, and any other independent-minded farmers, want no part of it. Nor should fair-minded Congressmen saddle them with such un-American restraints. SKETCHES BEN BURROUGHS "YOU ARE" You are miHian happy dreams roiled up into one you ire everything worthwhile a dream socond to pone you are the silver sunrise the sunset's golden hue your understanding paves the way of each road I pursue you are the fragrance of rotes that enchant the hours of June and when I hear a love song you are the tender tune you are my reason for smiling your faith keeps my faith ever strong as long as you are beside me 1 knew I'll never go wrong but if you should ever leave me I'd be afraid, confess afraid to face tftffe tomorrow for you are my true nappes. A Most Delightful Letter Thelma B. Wright drtss is not on her letter writes me: "In your column in the Herald Examiner, May 9th regarding the King Anderson bill.

I wish to say, that it is a pity, that one of youf four major illnesses, did not prove fatal. As far as I can see you would be no loss to the ty. "You have the colossal nerve, to say that people who cannot afford medical care are in that predicament, due to 'shiftlessness' and profligacy. "All I can say sir, is 'drop- dead'." This letter, which is the acme of human kindness, is a very intelligent addition to a serious discussion of an important current political problem But it is indicative of the enormous change that has taken place in our society the bitterness over the welfare state and the assumption that Horatio Alger was all wrong -v that" thrift is a Wicked practice; that spending up to the last penny is sound. Of course, when so large a share of everyone's earnings 1 go to taxes, federal, state and local, it is difficult to save.

Nevertheless, this nation was built by thrift. It was built by the expenditure of private funds, patiently saved and not for hasty profits but for permanent growth. Most of the large companies started as smalt ones and grew by putting earnings back into growth and by selling participation to those who had saved their money. Let us have a look at this situation from the standpoint of the stock market panic. The small man, who bought a hundred or so shares on margin and who his probably been wiped out, calculated for some time that he was the owner of, let us aay, $1,500 which is now The economists may say that such a man did not lose that $1,500 because he never had it.

They may say that he imagined that he had that money because he read in the newspapers or on the ticker that his particular stock worth that amount of money, less taxes, if sold on a certain day. However, this man did believe that he had $1,500 and he lived accordingly. He bought a car on time; he bought a refirgerator on time; he bought his wife a fur coat on time. He felt fine. He figured that as he got some more money he would buy more things on time.

That $1,500 multiplied itself many times perhaps 10 or 15 times and all on time. Now, he has lost that $1,500, imaginary or otherwise, and he will have to meet his obligations nut of his salary. For a year or two, he will be cautious. He is not going to take a tour on his vacation but will stay at home and cut. the grass.

Go up the line to the man who lost $15,000 or $20,000 and the situation is even worse. That man is frightened and he is looking for a scapegoat, just as during the 1929 panic, he looked for a scapegoat. He will not, of course, blame himself. That is too much to ask of any man. He will not say that his judgement was bad; that he got into a game which he did not understand; that he was a gambler and speculator and was caught short by the debacle.

He must say to himself that he is an acme of wisdom and that someone plotted his defeat. He wants the government to do something about it. Unless stocks are bought for investment, there must be an element of gamble in them. It is absurd to believe that a free enterprise system can exist without loss. Where there is a profit, there must be the possibility of a loss.

Only in the welfare state is it possible to guarantee persons against loss, but such a guarantee must lead to state control of business. If the state guarantees a business against loss, it must eventually take over the business. The trouble with the thinking of Thelma B. Wright and many, others is that they demand government guarantees for themselves from the cradle to the grave but reject the consequences of their demands. The ultimate consequence could be a socialist state.

It must be anticipated that the trend is toward a welfare state in this country and that the opposition to it is trifling. Home Delivery Costs No More Peter Edson Few Of Many Left Wing Groups Are Ready, Willing To Be Counted EDSON WASHINGTON (NEA) Running down active Communist, Communist-dominated, Communist-infiltrated, Communist front and fellow. traveling affiliates in the United States today is a frustrating business. Recent publication in this column of lists of right wing organizations that have sprung up all over America in the last few years brought requests for a similar listing of left wing groups. INVESTIGATION reveals that Communist organizations in the United States definitely low on finances and members, harassed by the government as well as by American public opinion and the anti Communist right wingers- are pursuing evasive, underground tactics that make them hard to catch.

They continue operations by creating confusion through legal delays that tie up court cases and thwart government agencies charged with forcing the Communist party, its subsidiary organizations and members to register. Old Commie organizations that have been exposed or whose purposes have been accomplished go out of business. They change their names and officers. They keep no records. Fly-by-night committees for this or against that are organized without members for the sole purpose of propagandizing some pet Communist cause of the moment.

As soon as these groups and their purposes are shown up, they fold. WHEN THE COMMUNIST party of the United States held its last convention in New York, Dec. 10-13. 1959, General Secretary Gus Hall said it had 10,000 members. Atty.

Gen. Robert Kennedy recently confirmed this figure. The members are concentrated in the New York, Chicago-Detroit and Pacific Coast are3s. The party claims it's broke. In the World War years when the U.S.

and U.S.S.R. were allied against the Axis' powers, Communist party's late National Chairman William Z. Foster claimed 100,000 members. Actually it never got much over The first impression drawn from this decline is that' the anti-Communist crusade in America is beginning to But Communist lawyers are Using every trick of. their trade to, thwart laws, regulations and court decisions intended to keep the party junder control or obliterate it.

So the battle to force Communist organizations to register and disclose their membership is by no means won. DIRECTOR J. EDGAR Hoover has told a congressional committee that Federal Bureau of Investigation now has under surveillance approximately 200 known and slispected Communist controlled or Communist infiltrated groups. For policy reasons he cannot give out the full list. To do so would break cover on some organizations that do not now know they are being watched.

There are official records on over 1,000 United States organizations connected with the Communist movement since 1917. Most of them are now disbanded or no longer active. BUT IT IS POSSIBLE to identify some of the' newer organizations that have come out in the open and disclosed themselves as Communist. In the list are: Committee for Constitutional Liberties. an Organization for Progressive Youth.

Youth Organizing Committee. York School for Marxist Studies. Fair Play for Cuba Committee. Hall-Benjamin J. Davis Defense Committee.

Some 40 other organizations have been cited in various ways by government agencies. Department of Justice has filed petitions with the Subversive Activities Control Board, asking that hearings be held on 24 organizations. Twenty-one others including four of the above 24 have been the subject of hearings before the HouseUn-American Activities Committee. The attorney general 's list of organizations compiled under the internal security Executive Order 10450 contains the names of 11 groups active today, most of them duplicated on the other lists. Identity of these organizations and the work of the government agencies investigating them will be reviewed in succeeding columns in this series.

Dr. Harold Hyman On Guarding Food's Nutrition HYMAN As a nation, we are the best fed people of all times. Nutritional problems frequently are those of overproduction and overeating. Nevertheless, during periods of unusual demand, such as the months of pregnancy and the years of childhood growth, efforts must be made to preserve the nutritional values of products we buy and to reduce spoilage and wastage to a minimum. To assist the housewife toward this end, thus stretching the dollar to the limit of its purchasing power, the AMA council on food and nutrition has issued a series of useful booklets.

Much of the information was originally published in their magazine, "Today's Health." Here are some of the practical suggestions that should have appeal to the prospective mother and to the housewife who is faced thrice daily with the problem of stokiag the furnaces of a brood of rapidly growing youngsters. Store milk and milk refrigeValur. Certain vita nun constituents are destroyed by ugHt. Store frozen foods in freezer at zero degrees F. or less (do not freeze after thawing).

Store canned goods in cool, dry area at about 50 degrees F. (root cellar or back of refrigerator). Store opened canned foods, juices and leftovers in refrigerator after covering Wrap dark green leafy vegetables, broccoli, asparagus, lettuce, in wet cloth and store in humidifier or. coldest part of refrigerator (50 degrees F. or below).

In closed container, place beans, tomatoes, cabbage, pers, in refrigerator. Place fruit in refrigerator if possible. Refrigerate berries. (Vitamin is rapidly lost unless protected.) To prevent withering, store potatoes, carrots, turnips, parsnips etc. in cool, dry place.

Vitamin content is highest in small, new, freshly dug tubers such as potatoes. In trimming vegetables, remember that less attractive outer leaves contain highest concentrations of vitamins and minerals. Sandusky Diary 25 YEARS AGO A branch post office was opened yesterday at Cedar Point as the resort season got under way. William Morross is in charge of the branch, which is located in the pagoda building near the coliseum. Mildred Busam is Morross' assistant and Charles Market is the special delivery boy.

The Mon Ami Champagne located in Sandusky for the past three years, will be closed on July 1 and moved to Catawba island. The firm is moving into larger quarters in a former wine cellar and will employ 35 persons.

Personally, think that the lettes are I beautiful, well'drilled team and they are practicing hard to stay that way. But why those red flags? Aren't there ether colors to choose from? Imagine if there were a group of people carrying the Nazi flags 20 years ago, or even would happen? Or if a group of people would carry Old Glory in any of the Communist countries, what would happen? I'll tell what would happen all would end up against the wall with a bullet hole in their skulls, and there would be no questions asked. It is 1 well known to those, who are willing to read end find out, that there is such a thing as Communist i subversion, that through subversion they have engulfed one third of the world's population in '40 short years, and that in completing their plans they are ahead, of schedule.

Khrushchev stated that they'll bury us. He was not joking! The take over of the U. S. is set for between the years of 1073 to 1975. (Find it out for yourselves in communist leader statements) The Communists say their victory is certain, because the average American is so intellectually lazy, intoxicated with entertainment, limited ft his horizon and inherently selfish that he won't have the conviction or dedication to do that which is necessary to stop it.

They could not possibly take over a great country like ours with armed force, because that would be a signal to all their subdued countries to-rise up now never! The only way is through subversion. Do you really know what Communist take over means? It means wholesale murders of millions, wholesale rape of tens of thousands, losing all your worldly possessions, including ways of support for you and your family. Fake mass trials, and executions on public squares of known patriots who will be branded traitors. Elimination of all educated people (except their stooges), people who are respected in their communities- people in government, police, clergy, lawyers, judges, teachr ers, etc. Children will be requested to spy on their parents and vice versa.

All those people, today living under communism, at one and not so long ago, were free, like you and and they have the same love and feelings for their loved ones as we have. Today they are saying: If, only I had known, but now it is too late and tomorrow is gray Without a hope, any hope at all. All of this does not have to happen here only if the people would get out of their apathy and started to be alert, what is on! And if every one of tts would remain alert, there is no way, how the Communists could subdue us, either through subversion or armed conquest.
