General Alert Sounded For All Civic Boosters Hirafd, DM. A general alert for the entire; ftSfftfnunity has again been sounded by the Carroll Chamber of Com- i ffier ee tat one and all to be prepared to put in a good word for the home town should any appear on the scene with questions to be answered. For Car- Mil, there Is a good reason to believe, might be paid a visit by men or groups of men as yet unknown who, upon gaining a favorable impression of the city, might be in a position to produce significant ben- fefits to the economy of the community and entire area. Officials of the Chamber of Commerce and the Carroll Industrial Development Corporation have collaborated in presenting information concerning possibilities the city has for industrial location in response To a special query. From specifications set forth by the inquiring concern, it appears Carroll meets all the requirements squarely on the nose.

The Chamber has issued similar admonishments on previous occasions. It can not be stressed too frequently that all citizens should commission themselves as ambassadors of good public relations for the community and be prepared at all times to voice loud the virtues of their home town. And while the renewal of the public relations plea might appear repetitious at this titfie, it flo wolf, wolf cry. For I the Chamber is dead serious about landing this new industry for Carroll. Difficulties are encountered in any project of an amorous nature when the object of one's projected affections Is completely unknown.

But the Carroll Chamber of Commerce considers such a situation all the more challenging, calling for widespread community Cooperation which it is hoped will be generated and forthcoming. And' even if the most intensive efforts to lure the particular concern which has made inquiry are. unavailing, it most understandably enough can be deemed a worthwhile project and by no means love's labor lost. For who can tell but that such bread spread upon the waters might be returned in measures of even greater good fortune from totally unexpected sources.

A reduction in U.S. forces from 2.6 million men to 2.5 million by the end of 1959 is probable. The, presently indicated two-bil- lion-doliar increase in the defense budget from 3R to 40 billion dollars does not represent the full bill for the expanded missile program.

It is considered all that can be spent next year. The total includes a number of cutbacks on other defense programs. For instance, an end to the pro- lurement of many conventional weapons now seems possible. Othir programs to be cut back are being decided in budget conferences this month. SAC, Missile Development Are Keys to U.S.

Survival By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON (NEA) Ten days before he took the oath of office as secretary of defense, Neil H. McElroy was in Huntsville, getting breifed by the Army's Redstone Arsenal missile experts. That was when the Russians launched their first satellite. The seriousness of the challenge in that event. was properly impressed on the new secretary.

In the intervening two months he has had to devote most of his time to a new appraisal of what the United States will have to do to beat the Russians. In addition to the military tfireat involved, there was a challenge to the U.S. social, educational and economic system as well. For the long range, they are equally important. The present appraisal is that United States survival will not be seriously at stake for several years.

That time enough to catch up in the missile race and to win it. The Immediate problem is to protect the retaliatory power of S. AC the U.S. Strategic Air Command. A first requirement is to obtain greater dispersal so that no more than one squadron of heavy bombers is based in one target area.

This will cost money. Another expensive operation will be greater deployment of launching sites for IRBM intermediate range ballistic i s- siles. Achieving a similar dispersal of bomber and missile bases in foreign countries requires the concurrence of America's allies. How far they are willing to go along with this program will be determined at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization i meeting at Paris. There is a firm decision that the IRBM is a better weapon for quick retaliation and for Amerl ca's defense than the longer range intercontinental ballistic' missiles For Russians, the ICBM is necessarily the better a with which to attack America.

For attacks against Western Europe; Russian IRBM's will do the trick. The decision to go ahead with the Air Force Thor and the Army Jupiter JRBM is probably not a decision that McElroy would have taken in private business. It is a duplication of effort on two weapons, neither of which has been proved out. It is expected that one will turn out better than the other. Production of the better missile will then get the go-ahead and the other will be phased out.

Or a combination of the two may be decided on. The goal for production is July 1958 months ahead of original schedule. A third IRBM must also be developed. This is the Navy's Polar is, using solid fuels. They are necessary because the Navy can't risk handling" highly explosive liquid oxygen fuels aboard shi i Solid fuels "can be stacked like cordwood," as Ihey say.

Goal for the Polaris has been moved up two years to the end of 1958 by assigning more money to its development. Logistics problems for missile warfare are still being worked out. Liquid fuels can't be stored like gasoline and can't be pipelin ed long distances. Liquid oxygen in particular must be manufactured near launching sites. This requires a new kind of supply system.

Thus, while the initial- missile installation is expensive, there is a potential long-range economy. And since fewer men can now de- 1 liver a bigger bang, there is a SO THEY SAY Let's face It.

The American reaction to Bul- ganin's note was the same as Eisenhower's first reaction to the Sputniks: an attempt to minimize its importance. The administration hasn't yet answered the letter or issued a formal statement on it. Instead, it let two press officers dismiss it. as propaganda before the State Department had even released a translation of it. Families Watch TV in House But Aren't Together Any woman who finds housework hectic can relieve some of the pressure by using the techniques of women who seem to do their work easily.

Here are just a few of them as a starter: Keep lists. A list of needed staples for the kitchen. A.list of errands that have to be run, so that as many as pos- bile can be combined in one trip. A list of special jobs that need to be done in the near future, so that some of them can be accomplished in those free half hours that come along occasionally. A list of calls to made, so that 'you don't forget to check on a dental appointment (or one of the children, or order by telephone something that will save a last-minute trip to town.

Assign jobs to the children. Right at first it would often be easier for a housewife to do a job herself than get a child to do it right, But taking the trouble teach him and insisting that he be responsible for it pays off well in the end. Plan Ahead Plan menus a week in advance and market just once or twice a week. The woman who is wonder ing at five o'clock what to buy for dinner is just complicating her life needlessly, Get started on the housework bright and early in the morning. Don't make long telephone calls which could wait until the afternoon when a rest has been earned.

Don't waste time having coffee with a neighbor, reading, or just puttering arpund, wondering where to begin. Do as much ahead of time as you can. It saves last minute panic and avoids last minute complications. Make a clear distinction between the things that SHOULD be done and the things that HAVE to be done. Then don't worry if all the "should be done" things don't get done immediately.

Finally, set your own housekeeping standards, instead of striving to keep up with a friend's or neighbor's. (All Rights reserved. NEA Service. Inc.) DR, JORDAN SAYS By BDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D., Written for NBA Having a System Takes Confusion Out of Work Mrs.

R. asks what might cause a caving in of 6ne side of the chest in an eight-year-old boy. Probably the most likely explanation is a disease known as rickets, which causes the bones to become soft and consequently leads to deformities such as that mentioned, to bow-legs, and to other changes in the bony structures. Rickets is primarily a disorder of children and should be guarded against in infants and the very young. It is a vitamin deficiency disease and results from an insufficient supply of vitamin in the body, The worst time of the year for rickets is the winter, when the sun is out only a short time and then does not have much strength.

Probably the, first one to describe rickets was an Englishman named Daniel Whistler (not. to be confused with the painter), born in 1619. Whistler described the knotty swellings which grow on the chest. The whole bony system is flexible, he said, and the bones can be twisted more or less like wax. Muscles become flabby the bones can scarcely hold the weight of the body.

He also mentioned the narrowing of the chest and the prominence of the breast bone and pointed out the unfortunate effect of rickets on the teeth. Of course, neither Whistler, nor another Englishman named Francis Glisson, who also studied the disease, knew what caused it or how to prevent it. Now, however, we are much better prepared, and there is little need for anyone, who takes reasonable care, to develop rickets. i The action of the sunlight on the skin is the best source of rickets- preventing vitamin However, not all of us can seek climates where the sun is adequate in winter months. "Consequently, the next best sources of vitamin are certain liver oils which contain this vitamin in large, quantities.
