Oswego Palladium-Times from Oswego, New York • Page 6

IstmtA INSTANT W. ntST Mar. I9il OftWBAO. OTBW I(MUI OUR NEIGHBORS' PLIGHT While Oswego is beginning to bask in the prospect of brighter economic conditions, one of our good neighbor communities in upstate New York is in the throes of extreme economic anxiety. It is the Rome area, and the cause is the Department of Defense's proposal to move the Rome Air Material Area to midwestern locations.

If the plan goes through, 6,240 civilian jobs will be eliminated in the Utica-Rome section. It should not be necessary here to describe in detail the impact of this prospect on the people of that area. Houses are being dumped on the market at losing prices. Retail sales have been markedly affected, and plans for civic improvements and commercial expansions have corne to a grinding halt. At stake is the future financial well- being of the whole upper Mohawk Valley.

We know the sympathy of residents of the Oswego area is overwhelmingly with the people of Rome. The Depart-' ment of Defense is babbling about a more efficient operation which might result if the functions carried out at ROAMA are "compressed" into other bases elsewhere. That is a laudible- sounding aim. but hardly consistent with past experience. The trend has always been to shut down one base and create two others which combined are bigger and more cottly than the first.

So, we suspect, would it be In this ewe. In the end, it is reasonable to assume that the only lasting effect of the proposed change would be economic desolation of Rome and its environs. Everything possible is being done by men and women of the Borne area to stave off this disaster which Washing' ton has in mind for them. Thoroughgoing studies have been made of the effect of relocation; delegations have visited Washington and Albany, and every avenue of appeal has been explored--including the White House itself. There it has even been brought to the attention of the President that Oneida county went Democratic last year, and the question is posed; "Is this then the way the administration shows its appreciation?" Many persons living in the southeastern section of this county would undoubtedly be left jobless if this plan is allowed to prevail, so Oswego cannot consider this a remote difficulty to be regarded with detachment.

Our people are involved as well, and we should join the fight in their interests. We urge residents of the Oswego area, and organizations here as well, to address protests to President Kennedy and to the Department of Defense. Let us do for our neighbors what we would have them do for us. TO ERR IS HUMAN It was only recently that we spotted in Editor Publisher, trade magazine of the newspaper world, a cartoon that we thought represented a neat barb at modern morals, at the same time being good for a chuckle. It showed a plump, motherly type with a newspaper in her hand asking her husband with great puzzlement about their daughter.

"I don't understand," she said, "why they ran the story of Gloria's fifth marriage on the sports page?" Having heard on WSYR yesterday that Sir Thomas Beecham was dead, and just to make sure it wasn't another oil refinery yarn, we leafed through the news sections of last night's Pall-Times. There was, it seemed, no story of the great, irascible conductor's death. But then, browsing on the sport page, the discovery was made. There was Sir Thomas's obituary, a full half- column long, sandwiched between two basketball stories. Except that the type was probably needed to fill space in that early-closing page, we can't for the life of us understand why Sir Thomas should end up in the sports section, especially since he had only been married three times.

We can only say that no slur was intended to the memory of this marvelously talented musician and stimulatingly contentious individual. The positioning of the story of his death was easily the most embarrassing boff to appear in this newspaper in three days. Last Saturday night it was duly announced in our columns that there is to be a speaker at tonight's Community Achievement Dinner. We quote, complete with the extra line that mysteriously crept into the story: "The Rev. Richard M.

McKeon, director of the Industrial Relations Institute, LeMoyne College, will be guest speaker, shouting That we've just got to hear. Viewpoints of Other Editors OX PAY FOB RETIRED TEACHERS (Miami Herald) This remark by Era Mae Furr fairly jumped out of our news story telling why ehe was selected as our community's "Outstanding Woman of the Year' 1 for 1960: "Why, do you know, right here in Dade county there are 65 retired teachers who are livine on less than $100 a month?" Xo wonder Mrs. Furr is sen-ing president of the Retired Teachers Tlub, which is striving to help this under- pensioned group. Statewide, we have learned, the number is 983. Some of these taught for more than 40 years before retiring.

Now the 983 are trying to make ends meet on less than $100 a month--much less, in some cases. Every breadwinner or houseuife knows this is well- nigh impossible today. Indeed, the whole system for retirement of teachers in Florida needs modernizing, in our view: As it stands, there arp five different plans, virtually guaranteeing lack of uniformity in pensions for retired teachers. Men and women who devote their working years to education of Florida's youth deserve assurance of enough to live on in their old age And the pension program should be actually sound to protect both the retired teachers and the taxpayers--which isn't true today, to the best of our knowledge. Meantime, we think Mrs.

Furr and her associates are right in seeking prompt relief for those teachers already retired and facing hardship because their pensions are less nan the cost of living. Health as Seen By Dr. Brady Or. Brady will inrwtr any tignM Mt to health. If your qun- lion of grtn mtirMt.

Addran Dr. Irtov. at IF YOU ARE DWINDLING --BASF DOES IT In the typical case of nutritional obesity of long standing it is reasonable to assume that the ordinary diet of the individual has been vitamin-poor for many years. Now the healthy body requires a certain reserve store of the several vitamins for maintenance of the various functions. In the obese this reserve has long been depleted.

You may think I am referring to nutritional obesity as 1 hough it were a disease, and so I am. At least it is a deficiency condition to i extent: Lack of the mms the body demands accounts for the abnormal craving for carbohydrates instinctively the body craves carbohydralrs because most of vitamins in nature grow wilh carbohvriratcs. Unfortunately most of the ml- NEWSPAPER! ural vitamins are removed or destroyed in preparing, cooking, refining, preserving and serving of our food, so in the instinctive effort to get enough vitamins we eat more than we can metabolize. This conception is amply borne out by clinical experience. Physicians have proved in thousands of cases that when the body's reserve of vitamins is re-established, the overweight individual is content with much less food, and so reduction becomes easy.

So, in overweight of long standing, particularly where the person is past the prime of life, and it is reasonable to assume that the years of hypo vitaminosis have left some degree of degeneration as well as mere functional weakness, it is important that the patient should have a week or two of super-feodinj; with vitamins, with only moderate restriction of intake of carbohydrate perhaps some one item, such as sugar or potato omitted before any a is made on an actual low calorie diet. IdealTy the man or woman past 35 who has been insidiously accumulating slacker flesh for years, should Jay in plenty of vitamins in Ihe first Uvo weeks and Jet the diet bt just a fair maintenance diet for a person of his or her status. It will be found that this plan, while giving little if any reduction of weight the first week or so, will put the patient In much better condition physically and also in better condition to stick with a suitable reduction diet through as many weeks as may be desirable. That is, to do so with comfort, with a steady weekly loss of from two to four pounds and a steady gain in general resiliency and vitality. In the last analysis of any reduction plan the paramount question is, not how many pounds one can burn off the first week, but how many weeks can one remain faithful to the rules while the weight is returning toward the ideal.

to the Eisenhower pro- On several issues, might David Lawrence Kennedy Adds to Confusion About U. S. Funds for Non-Public Schools WASHINGTON President Kennedy in his press conference today did not clear up but rather added to the confusion he has already created by his public discussion of the issues of Whether federal funds may be used to aid non-public schools. News reports of his press conference on March 1 gave the impression that he had said there was "no room for debate" on the constitution ality of any phase of the matter. So a.

reporter asked this question at the March 8 conference: Mr. President, you said last week, as. I recall it, that there was no room for debate about this matter. 'The President: No room for debate about grants. There is obviously room for debate about loans, because it has been debated.

My view, however, is that on the matter of loans, to the best of my knowledge and judgment, this has not been tested by the courts, of course, in the sense that grants have been. But by my reading of the constitutional judgments in the Everson Case, my judgment has been that across-the-board loans are also unconstitutional." But what was said in Everson Case as decided by the Supreme Court of the United States on Feb. 10, 1947? Here is the pertinent quotation: "The 'establishment of religion' clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the federal government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one region, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go or to remain away from his church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion.

No person can be punished for entertaining or professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or non-attendance. No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called, or whatever form they may adopt to teach or practice religion." Plainly the prohibition is against any aid whatsoever to religious teaching. There is no ban, however, against aid to a religious institution for anything that is not direct- which are non-public, have been supported by the Congress and signed by the President. Loans and even grants to secondary education under some circumstances might be held to be constitutional. But across-the-board to all nonpublic schools, in my opinion, does raise a serious constitutional question which after reading the cases and giving it a good deal of thought, in my opinion is and to my judgment would be unconstitutional.

But there is no helpful explanation that can really be derived from reading the decisions of the Supreme Court. For no differentiation is made in any decision between a grant and a loan. The whole issue revolves therefore around the form of aid. Aid that helps teach religion is of course, prohibited. Aid, however, that pays transportation by buses or gives fire or health protection or assists in the construction of fire-proof buildings or classrooms is not an aid to religious education as such.

Mr. told his press conference that he is "extremely sympathetic to those families who are paying their taxes for public education and also sustaining their children in non-public schools." But he added that he believes there are constitutional barriers, nevertheless, that he has to take into account. The late President Franklin D. Roosevelt had no such inhibitions. He used to tell Congress that, if they had any doubts about constitutionality, they might as well pass the legislation and let the courts decide afterward.

As for Congress, it will find millions of citizens objecting to any penalty or form of discrimination being imposed against parents who are already incurring a double expense for the education of their children. The Fourteenth Amendment says that all citizens are entitled to "equal protection of the laws" of the states. The Supreme Court has also gone a step further and said that this principle must be applied to the "equal protection" of citizens under federal laws. even cedure, marks were sometimes scruti- position to his legislative nized by his publicity staff and gram.

Thus, in the bill which President Kennedy has sent to Congress providing scholarships for students who may attend institution, public or non-public, religious or non-sectarian, there is a stipulation that $350 may be paid by the federal government as a "cost of education allowance" directly to the institution itself to supplement the scholarship payment made on behalf of the student.

This is, of course, a direct grant of aid and is no more related to the teaching of religion than any loan would be which is repayable i interest over a number of years. The President was asked at his press conference whether he would veto such a bill. He said he would prefer to and see the measure before he made the decision, but his bill was'unconstitutional.
