GREENVILLE, FRIDAY, APRIL 8,1863 THE RECORD-ARGUS RECORD-ARGUS EDITORIAL PAGE No Let-up in Effort Stnce the beginning of the truce negotiations In Korea almost two yean ago, the United has sought a way to end the fighting there. Only the issue of repatriation of war prisoners prevented an agreement when the negotiations were Adjourned last fall. Now that the Reds have finally agreed to the principle- of voluntary repatriation it may be poa- to end the bloodshed Soon. When the war in Korea ends Americans will be grateful indeed. It has been a sad struggle, mostly in lives and money and it will be over.

But the of the fighting must not mean the slackening of our defense effort. In the past Communist peace overtures on one front have often heralded aggressive moves on another. Had we been as strong two years ago as we are today it is possible that the Rods would not have attacked in Korea. There are indications that the new leaders of Russia may want peace. This is hopeful and we should be willing to go along with any suggestions that may help to eliminate the danger of another general war.

Yet we must not forget that in the last tseveral years the position of the West has improved greatly. The proposal for a Western European army has made some progress, the UN has drmonstrated that it can act to halt aggression, the defense strength of the free world, accelerated by the Communist threat, has r.iade the West powerful nguin. It may be these factors which influence the new attitude of Malnnkov and his associates. We miiM not allow that strength to slip awuy.

RECORD-ARGUS luucd Dally Except Sunday by THE REOORD-AKGUS, INC. and merger of EVENING RECORD ADVANCE ARGUS STONEBORO CITIZEN Blontboro JAMESTOWN WORLD CAPITAL LETTER By JANE EADS WASHINGTON Pretty Patricia Ferguson, 15-year-old schoolgirl of nearby Alexandria, is skipping class a couple of months to learn first hand how 'teen-agers of Portuguc.se West Africe live. Daughter of Air Force Lt.

Col. and Mrs. Norman Ferguson, she will live with the family of Senhor Souso Machadn, member of the government council of Angola, learning their customs and teaching them about life in America. Machada, a wealthy business man with extensive concessions for mining explorations jn Angola, makes his home in Luando, with his wife and three the youngest of whom is H. Pat's opportunity came up through an uncle, LouUs Ferguson, who works 113 a geological engineer for Machada and lives in Capetown, South Africa, with his wife, two sons and a daughter.

"I can't wait to go," Pat told me the eve of her departure, "I think it will be educational. I might even learn Portuguese. Senhor Machada doesn't much English, but he's as kind as he can be." Pat expects to graduate from her high school in January 1955, when she will be 17. Her mother thinks she will get as much out of the trip as she might in the classroom this term. Pal likes algebra and is taking her text book along.

A majorette in the community recreation center's group, she saya will also tote her baton with her and teach her new filends the art, as well as what she knows about tap dancing and ballet, about camp life, the Girl Scouts and the things they teach in her home economics class at school. She is secretary of the Future Homemakers of America Club at school. "I'm pretty good with the cheese and macaroni dish," she said. Pat also plays the piano and clarinet, and back in Denver, where the Fergusons lived before coining to Washington two years ago, she used to ski and ice skate with her brothers, Louis, now 18, and Gary, 11. Between getting "shots" required of Americans traveling abroad and saying good-bye to her friends, her Scottie, "Cinder," and Persian cat "Tinker," Pat has been busy shopping for clothes.

"I hear they don't wear shorts in Angola, or jeans," she said. "It will be exciting to see what they do wear. Golly, it's wonderful opportunity for anyone my age to to go away from home all alone and learn about the world." One thing Pat says she's going to tell her new friends: "That they ought to come over here some time. I'm glad I live in America and 1 want them to see why."

Every thing that Lewis Wcssel and Alvin Meyer touch seems to turn to they can't stop touching things. "We try to stay out of new things got about all we can do." said Lewis. "But if it's exciting, we can't stay away from it." Wessel, now 36, and Meyer, 35, played in the streets of New York together as boys and have been lifelong friends.

Al liked the Idea, too. They formed a partnership with $5,000 they had saved. Lew, an exceptional card player, had saved some of his $2,500 from his wartime winnings. "Everyone we talked to said we were foolish," Al recalled, "they said people wouldn't buy anything they didn't expect to nobody really expects to use a fire extinguisher." But by recruiting nation-wide sales force, the two partners soon were selling the cheaply-priced fire extinguishers like grass seed in April. At first they commissioned a metal firm to make them, then bought the firm with their profits.

Now their metals plant and its products gross about million dollars a year. Accent ou Youth "We got into the haircut business jy accident," said Al. "An accountant with us told us that the hotel barbershop he went to was for sale, and he thought it would tte a good buy. "So we bought it, and took the accountant in as partner. The shop did so well we decided to try another." They ended up by buying the largest barber shop chain in Amer I barbershops and eight beauty parlors in New York, Baltimore and Pittsburgh.

The chain takes in better than two million dollars annually. In 1951 the two partners coin lowed to stand while drinking.

No wonder we denizens of the nation's capital often feel like creatures without a country.

"Dear Sir: I have a nice burial lot in New York state.

I wonder if the cherry trees would live there?" "Dear Sir: Could you furnish me with a few grafts of each variety of your Japanese cherry trees? I am outside the Japanese beetle area." Here's a nice bit of irony for you: About a year ago, the Wisconsin Bankers Association sent its executive committee to Washington to talk with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation about an "alarming increase" in the number of crooked operators in the banks of Wisconsin.
