Organized and supervised summer activities for youngsters are of utmost importance. And the Midget League as it appears now witt Imve right nt 100 hoys in the 10-12 year ago bracket hustling about the city's various baseball diamonds. As part of the summer program, some 112 young baseball players have registered for play on the six tennis being sponsored by the Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions Cluli and the Jaycees, American Legion and Yarbro Co-Op Gin. We can't think of many things a lad couldVbeller devote his lime to. And up 100 boys in one stroke takes care of a goudly number of them.

Parties Need to Cleanse Blood of 'Smear' Venom The "smear" us a laclic is us old its politics. But the last two decades have seen il elevated to vastly greater importance in pnlitiuil propaganda. we must sadly ncknowleilge thai many IIIPD of professed decency nevertheless cither employ or condone the most virulent attacks upon other men. That tin.

1 users of the smear include so many who think of themselves as de- con is a mark of what lias happened to our ninrai 11 ha.s become commonplace for political candidates to close their eyes to the presence within their camps of the very lowest order of hate-mongers. A lot of these candidates offer themselves as shining white kmVht.x ready to do battle with the terrible enemy, communism. They apparently do not realize they are ffivin.ir strength lo a (lociline which is part of tho very essence of communism. They are acting as if they believe the end justifies the In other words, in their often totally sincere conviction that the opposition is had and must he routed, they allow themselves to he persuaded that any technique which does the job is in the interest of American people. Perhaps such tactics will work for while in a time when people are troubled about who the enemy is and where he is.

Perhaps the stirring of religious and racial hatreds will be looked upon briefly without, great indignation. But sooner or later the elemental sense ot decency of ths clU- 7.en will revolt against the injection of such poisons into the political blood. xlrcam. Sooner or later tlie men who practice or condone the on a grand scale will be thrown out of office. One of the jnost dJMin.il of modern experiences is to listen lo a smear artist defending himself against charges he knows he cannot refute, wraps himself in cloak of righteousness, and de- clarcs (hat UK i.s the victim of a smear.

Recognize the techniijucV It's straight out of Moscow. American political debate has within the last five years sunk lo not equalled for a long time. Regard for (rulli, for honest presentation of issues and'men, has slipped into the background. The great cry is: "Heat 'em, no matter what you have to say!" In the mouth or more before the I9, national conventions, we will lie in for some intense politicking, particularly on the Republican side in the fight between Senator Tuft and General Ki.seuhowcr. Bitterness i.s already rife between these camps, and seems sure to mount as nominating lime nears.

It behooves all sides in both parties to take slock as they go into this critical period. The degenerative process in political debate lias already gone too far. Men of real moral fiber are challenged, in the immediate days and beyond, (o arrest the trend and restore political campaigning to a level of decency. Views of Others Canada Has Newspapers Over a Barrel- Because almost the entire newsprint jnpnly of tills country's newspaper comes from Canada, that country's government approval of another $10 increase in the per ton price will Impose additional cosU of about $50 million on the American jiress and through It Die people. Such added operation casts inevitably must be pa-ssed along to the advertiser or the reader, or bolli.

To the extent that advertising increases volume business and shortens turn-over time, its costs are absorbed, but some of the heavier advertising expense certainly must be flKiircd In selling prices. Newspaper publishers and those in the government who have studied newsprint problems rto not believe the latest increase in the Canadian price is Justified. Qnnniln simply has American newspapers over barrel and is making the most of it. In 1D10, newsprint was delivered to Slium- ton at $46 a Ion. Successive Increases, Including the one just announced 15, have brought It to $130 a ton, tin nll-tlmeTiicqrd.

A fight against Ilils price hike is being prepared, and it may re- Mllt in nn official U.S. request to the Canadian government lo rescind Its approval.

SugBe.Mions abroad that U.S.

newspapers are too large and could be reduced in at considerable savings arc sometimes echoed nt home. The British point to their small newspapers and the high prices Jor advertising and subscript lorn that have kept them prosperous. The British press, howevrr. Is giving tls people nothing like Ihe news coverage nnd general Inlormation and opinion that the U.S. press affords, with what detriment to Britain's ultimate national good we shall not attempt to say here.
