URES By TOM ELLIS WELL, THE RUMBLINGS and grumblings about the much publicized report of Dr. Kinsey anent the erotic stumblings the subtler sex have subsided.

And really, it seems unfair to paint the poor man either as a saint or sinner. Yet that, generally, is what the public has done. There appears to be no middle ground as far as the bulk of the people are concerned: either they're ardently st for or they're damningly against Dr. Kinsey and his work. Even so, we atle had a lot of fun out of the press, and even some of the preachers.

Look at the tongue-in-cheek headlines some editors used: "It's 50-50, Mate Forgives if Wife's a 26 Percenter." Or "They Never Grow Old -Kinsey Book on Women Depunks Popular Ideas." THE I wouldn't mented our acquaintances. read such, filthy you see what it said about-" and he quoted a passage near the end of the long review he refused to read. Or one reporter's comment: "Just proves that women have learned what I've always knownsex is just too good to be true." And preachers smiled tolerantly, spoke in favor of the report, while others tore their hair and promptly composed highly excited sermons against Kinsey and all his works, claiming the road to hell is paved with Kinsey blockheads. One minister, we recall, branded the work "demoralizing." Tisk and tusk. Bet the guy doesn't even read the book, therefore at best will be able only to criticize the criticism of some critic.

Pretty weak broth to substitute for the meat in a sincere sermon. IN ANY EVENT, it has always been our contention that no one but a person with a demoralized mine can be demoralized by another's sane presentation of a sincere study, no matter how that critic may agree or disagree. In fact, he recalls the time, in our student days, when the university's student hospital proposed to install the Wassermann test for all students. It was this university's idea that venereal disease is often visited on to the sons, even to the third and fourth generations. Discovering its presence in youth while the disease was dormant in the victim's blood stream would permit treatment and eliminate much grief in later years.

Sensible plan, wasn't it? But how did public, press and pulpit take it? "Demoralizing" (that word again), screamed one preacher; "immoral." frothed a second; "inviting a breakdown in moral codes." hissed a third. will encourage sexual permiscuity," prated one -an illegitimate son of the Fourth Estate, judging from his spelling. Other papers joined in, and the public took sides. DISH AND PSHAW! What did it come to? The university simply hushed letting up it the drop. matter, But blood apparently samples were taken during the normal physical checkup to which all students submitted each semester.

The tests were run, and a half-dozen students would be called in each semester, told the truth and subjected treatment. Of course it was a jolt to those kids. So is surgery, but many must undergo the salient fact: The lives of a half-dozen potential leaders of future society were saved from a much worse jolt in years to come. Perhaps their minds and lives were saved, and certainly their souls were unharmed. SOMEHOW, we can't the see truth, any telling no matter how evil the truth itself may seem.

Certainly there can be no of any ills until the ills have been diagnosed. But there is something truly evil in the mind that seeks only evil. We recall another case from personal experience that of a minister who came to us almost daily to whisper into our reluctant ears about the "things these boys and girls of today are doing." He cluckclucked pruriently, demanding that we, as a newsman, "do something about it." The only thing we ever did was to wonder why his "best friends didn't tell him" that he had mental and moral halitosis--wondered if his lecherous mind offended God as much as it offended us. DOES IT SOUND as if we don't like preachers? Not at all. We've counted some preachers among our best friends.

they were real, honest, sincere, cleanthinking men. Somehow, we feel that most preachers are of that type. No, we're not down on preachers -just reminiscing. After all, the Kinsey report and all of Dr. Kinsey's work won't depend on how you and we think of it.

That research was primarily intended, and still remains, a bit of work for the academic mind to evaluate, and on that evaluation, not on yours or ours, will its success be judged. But even Kinsey reports don't always agree. You've heard of Dr. Kinsey'sbut did you hear of the report of a Mr. Kinsey who filed for divorce in this area recently, alleging that his wife-his best source for judging the sexual characteristics of woman-was "cold and indifferent." Do we hear any critics protesting that Kinsey report? Almost a billion people in the world cannot read or write.

Roman soldiers carried with them a moistened piece of sponge to be used instead of a drinking vessel. First Venetian blinds in America were made by Priscilla and John Alden from barrel staves with rope twined around them. Daily Record BIRTHS To Mr. wad Mrs. Jacob Dyer, Route 9, boy, 12:40 p.m.
