Entered in the Post Office at Clearfield, Pa, Second Class Mail Matter. There Is No Charge daily The Progress is asked by a news contributor "Is there any charge, for this item?" The answer invariably is "No." There are exceptions, of course, which will be discussed later, but generally speaking, there Is no charge made by this newspaper for publication of news or pictures, provided they meet the ordinary of being newsworthy and of interest to readers of The Progress. We're glad to Be lold of news events involving yourself, your family, your church, veterans, fraternal or civic organizations. We're in the business of gathering and printing news and it's a big help to us when our readers are thoughtful enough to tell us of happenings that make interesting reading for other readers of the newspaper. For example, since the Korean War began a year ago, and even before that, The Progress has made it a policy to print all available news and pictures of the area servicemen.

Much of the news comes from Armed Forces public information staffs but a large portion of it come from members of the servicemen's families who are justifiably proud of their sons and daughters or husbands in uniform. If we've missed anyone, it has been unintentional. a word about servicemen's pictures; we prefer them in one column size (two inches wide) and the picture should be clear enough to reproduce in the rough screen that newsprint demands (a poor reproduction makes us unhappy and the family angry). There are a few simple rules to follow in submitting news fo any newspaper: (1). Write the facts legibly, making certain there can be no mistake as to the spelling of Barnes and places.

It's a good idea to print names. (2). If possible, submit the information well in advance of the date the story should appear. And give the newspaper time to write the headline, get th story into type and juitable space for it in the paper. The of publishing a paper demand time for these steps.

(3). Don't be insulted if the newspaper rewrites your contribution. Even newspapermen rewrite their own or fellow reporters' stories. You wouldn't try to tell an automobile mechanic how to do his job, so why not let the newspaperman ply his trade in the same way. (4).

Remember that what may seem newsworthy to you isn't always 1 viewed in the same light by a newspaper editor who must weigh the merits of your story against hundreds of others that flood his desk daily. If.you're telephoning the news to a newspaper, remember 0) to speak distinctly and loud enough to be heard at the other end (you'd be surprised at the' noice in the average news room); and (2) to speak, slowly enough that the man or woman at the other end can take notes (the newsman who can write In shorthand is one in a million). Now as to the exceptions on news for which a charge is made. Thess. include announcements of ice cream socials, games parties, meeting schedules, expressions of thanks end the like.

These are properly classified as advertising and a nominal fee for the insertion is charged. Many newspapers charge for obituary notices. The Progress does not. Subsequent editorials from time to time will discuss other phases of news and picture contributions. Letters to The Editor Editor, Progress, Clearfield, Pa.

Dear Editor: I read with interest your news article in Wednesday's Progress Of June 27 which covered some of the facts concerning Senate Bills 244 and 245 affecting the Firemen's and Police Pension Funds, I would like to tell more of the story since it affects so many hundreds of Clearfield County Firemen. These two bills provide many good things, and specifically and at last give to the firemen and police all benefits they should have from their funds. In the case of firemen, S. 245 states that all sums paid to the boroughs or townships from the 2 per cent foreign fire insurance premium tax "shall be used to i pension, retirement, disability, or death benefits, by saving and investing amounts, or to purchase policies of insurance to procure said benefits to volunteer or paid firemen or to the dependents of volunteer or paid firemen." Both bills further state that every year all sums received by the boroughs or townships that are NOT PAID OVER to firemen's or police funds must be returned to the Auditor General and must go into the surplus state fund for redistribution. However, the bills contained the provision that $60,000 from the police fund and $40,000 from the firemen's fund was to be turned over annually to the Auditor General to defray the cost of auditing the funds in the various boroughs and townships.

Both bills had passed the Senate and were up for final passage in the House of Representatives when John Myers, secretary of the Central District Firemen's Association, and John H. Walther, secretary of the a i Fire Department wrote me at Harrisburg and requested me to passage of the Firemen's Bill, S. 245 or at least try to have it amended removing the $40,000 provision. I had both bills held up for a week a meeting of local and district firemen was called. This meeting was attended by Rep.

John DuBois and myself, and Clearfield and county firemen and officials. I proposed that an amendment be offered S. 245 removing the $40,000 fee to the Auditor General for making the audit and substituting an annual audit by local borough and township auditors which would accomplish the same purpose. This suggestion was approved. Mr, DuBois and myself sponsored this amendment at last Tuesday's session of the House of Representatives.

Due to the action of local firemen's officials and county organizations advising House members of many THE PROGRESS, Clearfield, Saturday, June 30, 1951 A World Today counties in the state proposed amendment of -this it was STATE POLICE SAY: Will YOU be VICTIM Who will have the dubious honor of being the millionth American killed In a traffic accident since 1900.

virtually assured of passing with many votes to spare, thus saving the firemen's fund $40,000 a year. However, something better was proposed. During the lengfhly debate on our amendment on the floor of the House, legislative leaders suggested a good compromise, which would not only save the firemen's $40,000 but the policemen's $60,000 also. It was suggested that Mr. DuBois and I WITHDRAW our amendment.

It was NOT defeated, as your article stated. By withdrawing our amendment, both bills could be held over until Monday July 9. i the meantime, amendments would be drawn up to take out BOTH the $60,000 provision and the $40,000 provision, and instead, direct the Auditor General to make the audit I COSTING PENNY. EITHER FUND A This is the situation as it now stands. If BOTH bills are amended as above, okay.

If not, Mr. DuBois and I shall again propose our original amendment to S. 245. We have still sufficient support to pass it and protect the firemen's fund, and that is the primary object. But amending both bills is the thing to be desired.

I must add in closing that both S. 244 and 245 had been approved by both State Firemen a Policemen organizations They would have been enacted into law as they were except for the alertness of John A Myers, secretary of the Centrai District, and officials of the Clearfield Fire Department, who notified me in time to hold up the bills. All the policemen and firemen in the state will benefit from the thousands of dollars saved these funds by their speedy action. And I am very to have been able to assist Harris G.

He participated in the Little Rose Bowl game last year This season he pitched a no-hit, no-run game, By JAMES MAELOW WASHINGTON (fl) This a sketch but only a sketch, since some of the tactics can't be mentioned of how this country spreads American propaganda abroad and makes psychological war or Russia.

During World War II the Army carried propaganda-psychological teams right along with the combat troops. When the Army captured a territory, those teams went to work, For instance, in Germany: they took over the radio stations, the newspapers, and other means of information and had the job of changing even the school textbooks into which the Nazis had their own propaganda. The' other two big wartime ogical outfits were the OWI--Office of War Information, and the OSS--Office of Strategic Services, which worked behind the enemy lines. The latter two folded after the Hal Boyle's Americana war. In Japan the Army still carried on the propaganda job.

But in Germany and elsewhere the State Department has taken over this work. And now there are two other main agencies working this field: the ECA--Economic a i Administration, which handles the Marshall Plan; and the CIA--the Central Intelligence Agency. (The CIA, something like the old wartime OSS, has the job of getting information from behind the Iron Curtain. It's a super- secret outfit and whatever it does it pretty much keeps to itself). This sketch will stick to what the State Department is doing.

1. Libraries. It has libraries all over the world into which it feeds pro-American information, plus other material like methods for controlling malaria. 2. Bulletins.

To 160 missions around the world the Department sends out nightly 10,000 words by wireless. These bulletins contain world news. They're distributed to government agencies, newspapers, and anyone who wants them. 3. Broadcasts.

The Department's "Voice of AmericE" broadcasts daily in 45 languages from New York, with relay stations in Munich, Tangier, Manila and other places. These broadcasts contain news, features, comments on world affairs by the department's own people. 4. Films. These are news pictures and documentaries, For example, a Walt Disney cartoon showing how to fight malaria, or a roundup of pictures of General Eisenhower, or the events leading up to the Korean war.

They're shown where they can be shown. In Russia, they can be seen only in the American Em- aassy. In Western Europe they're shown in town squares. In Latin America they may be shown in schools. 5.

They're at our very pates. Who's our foe this time? Nobody but out old cutthroat buddies the nation's barbers. Who'd have thought those gay blades would ever razor voices against us? But listen: "Men with hair are more virile and romantic than those who are bald." That bare-headed slander came today from Nick Caluthis, president of the United Master Barbers of America. "Although there may be no biological relationship between baldness and virility," he added, "the confidence that goes with having a full head of hair gives men more verve in their amours. "Barbers know very well that a woman regards a man's hair the same light as a man regards a woman's figure." Well, how does a wise man prefer a woman's i Covered with a buffalo pelt? Caluthis teed off on us baldies in releasing his organization's annual selection of the "Ten Best Male Heads of Hair in America." His lucky ten: Educator Alfred C.

Kinsey Stateman Bernard Baruch; Bandleader Elliot Lawrence; New i Commissioner Thomas F. Murphy; Artist Salvador Dali; Film Actor Errol Flynn; Scientist Albert Einstien; Government and Business- Executive Nelson A. Rockefeller' Sportsman Ben Hogan, and Radio and Television Star Arthur Godfrey. There is no quarrel to be found with the list for sentimental, old-fashioned folk who still like hairy-topped men best. More people in the world live in thatched huts than in houses with slate roofs, but they aren't as comfortable.

"Hair is like a muscle," said Caluthis, advocating daily brushing. "Keep it exercised and it won't let you down or fall Operating on this theory, the average barber must go home at night too tired to lift an arm to his own head. Most barbers I meet look less like Einstein than they do Mexican hairless dogs, As a matter of fact, barbers actually seem to have a marked distaste for customers with bathmat-thick cranial shrubbery. It is to clip a lawn than hack a path through a jungle. What forward-looking man of taste today wants to keep his hair anyway? It falls in his eyes, gets caught in electric fans, grows over his ears and makes it hard for him to hear over the telephone.

It isn't of help to him in any way, except as a cushion if he is hit with a blackjack. And a man who keeps getting hit with blackjacks doesn't really need more hair. He needs more judgment. All the evidence of modern science tends to prove that bald- headed men are actually more virile than hairy-headed men. Smart woman have already found that out, too.

and nobody has to feel sorry for "Old Baldy" today. He's doing all right. The reason he doesn't brag more is that he doesn't want guys with hair to shave it off and increase his competition. The most successful Casanova I ever knew was a barber -bald as a basketball. "Guys with hair give me a laugh," he said once.

The general practitioner, familiarly known as the family doctor, is being restored to his former prominence by the public and his specialty colleagues. Within the past few years, a reaction against over-specialization has taken place not only among physicians but also among laymen. Partly this has been due to the increasing difficulty of rural and small urban communities to obtain adequate medical care. Such communities realize their need of men who can practice a wide range of medicine, surgery and obstetrics.

The family doctor of old was friend and advisor, as well as doctor to his patients, and the home was the area of his practice The specialist was an awe-inspiring gentleman in a Prince Albert coat who was seen rarely and when he was called into the home for consultation is meant that mother was really in a bad way. The picture slowly changed until just a few years ago when the public's attitude became keenly attuned to specialization. The public came to regard the specialist as the guaranteed competent man in his field, somewhat by-passing the general practitioner as a fellow who might give insurance physical examinations and dispense prescriptions for simple aches and pains. Although specialists are of ne cessity here to stay, medical schools today are stressing general practice and setting up general practice residencies in their university hospitals. It is necessary for doctor and patient today to see more of each other in the hospital and less at the home bedside.

Many new and important methods of treatment can be properly used only in the hospital, where there is continuous watchfulness and high quality in care. DO YOU KNOW?

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS Washington Scene WASHINGTON Bound in red embroidered in pearls, a work in Latin stanzas on the Psalms of David came to the Fogler Shakespeare Library recently.

The rare manuscript volume, presented to the library by Lessing J. Rosenwald, philanthropist, once belonged to Henry, Prince of Wales, heir apparent of James I of England. It is en- iitled "Argumenta Psalmorum Davidis" and dates from 1608. Copied in the handwriting "of Ssther Inglis (or Langlois), said have been governess of ihe brilliant young prince, tiie book was a gift'to him from her. Dr.

Louis B. Wright, director of Folger Library, and I were discussing the fact that young people today just don't easily snuggle up with a bok of Latin stanzas on the Psalms of David, even if the handwriting is a work of art and the volume'is bound in pearl-encrusted red velvet. "Such gifts were common in the 17th century even young men favored their sweethearts with such unusual volumes," Dr. Wright remarked. "In my grandmother's and even my mother's era a volume of poems bound in Morocco and usually titled Flowers of Poetry' was considered the proper gift.

I can't magine many young men today away with such a gift. The girls seem to prefer portable radios." Dr. Wright, as a matter of act, has much to say about what le calls "the lost art of reading." He especially deplores the addiction to television. "Television," he' told me, 'promises to destroy, in the next generation, the capacity of human beings to read. Families now turn off the lights and dwell in a dim world of wonders where they see visions of muscle and brawn to be envied prayed for.
