So one day when Czar Alexander was looking the other way, Metternich sneaked the Russian-Greek Islands out from Russian hands. Since then and until 1947, they have been under the watchful eye of England Look No. 3 A hundred years and more passed. In 1947, the British were trying to balance their budget, wanted to cut down on military expenses.

Winston Churchill put up to arry Truman the idea of taking over British committments in Greece. He pointed out that the Russians were trying to Communize Greece via Red Yugoslavia, that would be fatal for Russia to get a toehold in Greece, that Russia under the Czars and Russia under the Communists had not changed in territorial ambitions, and that Russia wanted to spread through the Bosporus, out through the Greek Islands to the warm and vital waters of the Mediterranean. Harry Truman grabbed the idea and thence came the Truman Doctrine. The United States spent billions in Greece and Turkey, trained the armies of both countries, virtually dictated the appointment of Marshal Papagos as Greek Prime Minis- In the end, Yugoslavia quite its attempt to Communize Grtec0 anti even talked favorab- of oin.ny Greece and Turkey in NATO.

Peurifov was the man who materially cemented Greek- Amrican friendship. But he was a Democrat and an Acheson 1 Truman Democrat at that. Meanwhile, the Cyprus agita- tion which Marshal Papagos un- corked after Eden snubbed him ha reached white heat. Simul- taneously, Dulles made a deal with Eden that he would side 1 with him on Cyprus in the Unit- i ed Nations if Eden would sup- port us in banning Red China from the United Nations. It was a dubious deal.

When the Cyprus vote came up in the United Nations and the USAj voted No, bitter anti-American resentment flared in Greece. Meanwhile, relations between two supposedly stanch Greece and Turkey, worsened, culminating in bloody, brutal; riots against Greeks in Istanbul, The Turkish police looked on' while Turks desecrated Greek church, broke into Greek shops, beat up Greek Nationals. Following this. John Foster Dulles sent identical notes to; both Greece and Turkey telling them to behave He expressed no sympathy for the Greeks, treat- ed both sides just the though there had been no rioting in Greece against the Turks Answer to Previous Puxzle God, our trust is in thee. In that trust we will live and have no fear.

Gladly we commit our lives to thee, knowing of this wisdom and thy constant care. May we face each day with calmness and serenity, brave in heart because thou art by our side. May thy will be our way, thy law our allegiance and thy love our life; in the name of Christ. Amen. Grant Walton.

The first vice president of the organization, Pavlik, resigned just a few weeks ago because of ill health And the second vice president. Garland But- tom, resigned earlier in the year because of his transfer to Waco. These two men, if tradition were followed, would have become the top men at the end of this year. Jerry would have moved up to president, and Garland would have become first vice president. A11 of which made it difficult selecting a new first vice and a new second the two men who will probably run the Chamber next year, Carlos Parker was elected to replace Garland as second vicr president, and directors Tuesday night wanted to move him up to first vice, but Carlos, a comparative newcomer to Taylor, wanted another year to get to know Taylor better.

So, directors, had to start looking again among their ranks because the officers must be elected from the directors. J. K. Moore, one of our grain wheels, was nominated and elected almost before he knew what was going on. In all liklihood he will become president in January.

Seriously, J. E. will ly make a good president.

That the school board has started talking football again, 1 mean.

Tuesday night a couple of the members even predicted the score of the Taylor Hearne game this Friday. One predicted 33-0, the other 27 both in favor of Taylor, of course. Oh, I've heard a little football talk now and then in the last year or so at board meetings, but it was rather rare Seems to be an indication that all is well on the athletic hor- rizon once again. The board also passed a athletic budget this year, which was about $2,200 higher than the preliminary budget submitted last month. Which means, one might surmise, that interest in football and funds for football both went down at the same time.

By BRUCE BIOSSAT merchant marine is not one of such size as to draw gasps of admiration around the globe. For a long time it has been one of those odd paradoxes that ships flying the flag of this great nation have had to struggle to compete on the sea lanes. This wage levels reflect themselves in both the building and the operating of vessels. The costs too often price us out of the market. The condition is chronic.

But there are still devoted men who refuse to give up, and keep fighting for the day the United States will have a merchant marine of a size and consequence that will make the nation proud. Shortly we will see the first fruit of some of this determination. The SS President Jackson, first of a fleet of new ships of the American President Lines, will sail on its maiden voyage around the world. The President Jackson is a cargo ship, part of the 200-million-dollar replacement program designed to help improve America's competitive position over the next 10 years. To achieve that end, the company is planning to introduce the largest and fastest cargo vessels ever seen in world ocean transport.

And U. S. shipbuilders, practiced veterans of two centuries at their trade, are making fresh efforts to show that they can match their foreign rivals. Three others in the new series, the President Ilayes, President Adams and President Coolidge will come into American service in late 1955 and early 1956. The new craft will be unique in several respects, not the least the fact that though cargo carriers they will offer some modern, de luxe passenger accommodations.

As for cargo handling, each vessel will be fitted special pumping equipment to allow efficient management of bulk liquid cargoes, with up-to-date refrigeration controls for both freezing and chilling, and the most advanced loading and unloading facilities. There will of course be no sudden rush to use American bottoms for world commerce. Rut when shippers in the great ports of the Pacific and Atlantic sec what these ships have to offer, they may take new interest in American Merchant transport. A VOTING BALANCES SHIFT Habits of thinking as well as doing can exert a tight hold on men long past their usefulness. Traditionally lhe farmer has bulked large in the calculations of the American politician.

For the farmer was both numerous and powerful. He is still a great force in our politics, but he is no longer relatively so great in numbers. When the late Franklin D. Roosevelt was running for office, one in every six voters was a farmer. Today, that ratio has widened out to one in every eight.

And the trend is continuing that way. Fortune Magazine notes in its newest issue that there are now more clerical workers in America than farmers. Sooner or later, politicians are likely to adjust to these figures. Inevitably, the power at the polls seems destined to decline, though effective organization may keep it at surprising levels for a long time. The forces that shape this its elections never stand still.

The politician worth his salt will keep a sharp eve on exactly who it is that is doing the voting these days. He who does not may find himself appealing to voters who do not exist in the numbers he imagines. Other Voices Of Time And Editors While the telephone was ringing, a delegation of citizens was being heard inside the office and another delegation waited outside the office, a Western Union messenger slipped a telegram onto the desk, the composing room foreman was muttering about editorial page deadlines and our car was ble-parked outside the building, our eye was caught and held by a paragraph in another publication.

The Macon News Going Both Ways At Once If you have an old banjo stuck away in the attic, or a ukulele or a tringless guitar, you ought to haul them out and dust them because they're all back in style.

So are player pianos and hat saloon-tuned, twanging, honky-tonk piano. The young people have discovered these melodious instm- ments and the record business is booming on good guitarists and thumping good banjo men. As a matter of fact things seem in general to be rolling two ways at once. Cars are long and sleek and houses are ranch-spreading, planes are jet propelled and we just get enough progress. Yet latest look is a look backward.

Ladies are wearing those shoes again, the ones with the dagger point toes and what they call an opera heel. It starts big at the heel bone and skinnies down to pencil point thickness. They look a V'- tle like the shoes that Minnie Mouse wears. As for the male garb, the three button suit is Edwardian. The narrow lapel, and higher top button makes any man look as if he were wearing an old turtle shell.

And that natural shoulder line to whom did that ever do any good? It seems as silly to put a flapper in a 1955 kitchen as it does to seat King Edward on a hassock before the TV set But as for the ukulele, there, my friends, is a real instrument.
