DAILY BIBLE is holy, your body is holy, home should be holy. The whole world is full of God's presence. They shall not profane the holy 22:15. -Why The Community Chest COMMUNITY Chests in some cities are having trouble getting the amount of Jnoney necessary for the operation of the Various agencies for relief and welfare which the Chest represents. Reason, as stated in a newspaper in at least one such city, is there are many other solicitations for other and usually worthy purposes, and that ihe purpose of the have only one Solicitation defeated.

That is true, at least to an extent, yet it should not lead us to refuse to contribute to the Chest, nor to make our contribution Small so that we would have some money left to meet other calls outside the Chest. Before the establishment of the Chest in Paris there were generally half a dozen splicitations, at different times during the year. Individual donors gave more liberally to one cause than to another, according to how much they were interested in the various causes. The result was that sometimes one of the most worthy failed to get tyhat it needed for its operation. But the principal purpose and value of the Community Chest, it seems to The Paris News, is that it provides for each agency it represents in an amount that representatives of the various agencies have agreed will probably meet the need.

This obviates the hit-or-miss result of individual solicitations, and places the social welfare of the city on a balanced foundation. Also it largely prevents duplication which was practiced before Paris organized its Chest some years ago. There will always be moochers and they are not successful with their calls on several relief agencies when there is a co-ordinated Communist Chest. The sensible thing for Paris is to contribute to the Chest when it makes solicitation a couple of months hence, for contributions so made will best meet the needs. War And Elections QTRANGE as it may seem, the outcome of the election for members of the Congress next November hangs on the Korean war.

If by the time that election comes we have driven the communists back of the Imaginary boundary which separates Korea into two countries, most of the Democrat candidates will be elected. If however we are still struggling in the mountains and at the rivers of Korea, indications are that the voters will favor many Republican candidates. Should the struggle be continued until the presidential election of two years hence (and at the moment it looks as if that might be) there would be a clean sweep and a change in administration. For if we are still fighting, in Korea or elsewhere, there will be thousands of men in service, many wounded and many dead, and the relatives of those who have died or been wounded will have been convinced that the Republican charge of mismanagement is well founded. At least part of that charge has a substantial basis.

The Korean war was planned a long time ago, though we were not smart enough to see It. And it is doing just what its planners figured it to do us a little at a time, and 'not knowing where and when to expect the second installment which we may well believe is to come. We made the mistake of taking the United Nations at face value and dismissed our armed forces. We believed that the Russians were decent people and would keep their word, and our diplomats, not even in the first grade of that school, were taken for a ride. The atmosphere of United States is not fitted for breeding diplomats and statesmen.

We are at a disadvantage when we play that game. So when we win this war, and the others that seem slated to follow, we should hold our armed forces in readiness and shelve the diplomats. DREW PEARSON'S WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND Military Aide Offends Chandler Note While Drew Pearson is on brief vacation, his column will bo written by members of his staff). WASHINGTON Defense Secretary Louis Johnson's sagging public relations haven't been helped by the bad manners of some of his military aides, who seem to enjoy getting In people's hair. A classic example occured when Baseball Chandler recently called on Johnson to offer the services of baseball to the effort.

He was met in the outer sanctum by Brig. Gen. Louis H. Renirow. Renfrew munching on some chewy candy as he greeted 'Chandler.

Picking his teeth with a finger, Renfrew mumbled officiously that he had sent for a personnel procurement officer to "sit in on" the conference with Johnson. Then, in a painful attempt at humor, the General added: "After all, he's the fellow whose shoulder you'll have to cry on." The insinuation that Chandler might be seeking special favors- such as deferments for ball players burned him to crisp. Trying to contain 'uia anger, he shot back: "I didn't come over here to cry on anybody's shoulder. I just want to see Secretary Johnson to the services of baseball, including myself, to the government." Still poking at his teeth, Renfrew mumbled something that sounded like an npology.

In fact, I am so old-fashioned that I hove lived for 49 years with the same wife, TRAVEL BY RAIL With military personnel on the move across the country, the railroads are grabbing the lion's share of the business. This is no accident, but by written agreement with the Defense Department.

It's not that train travel is cheaper. Railroads give a 10 per cent military discount, but so do the airlines. In fact, air travel Is sften more economical, considering the meals and pullman charges that are added to the railroad are. Buses are even cheaper, hough perhaps more inconvenient. When we asked the Defense Department to explain this preference for railroads, a spokesman replied "It Is not by virtue of any agreement that the railroads get he bulk of military passenger Tafflc." Yet the Defense Department's ransportatlon agreement states latiy: "The railroads' agreement Is preferential and Is applicable to all transportation furnished on requests of the military agencies." (section 1, paragraph 3) Secretary Defense Johnson promised last year to reconsider this policy, yet renewed the same continued to harp on Hanley's old- eral years ago.

The three children were in lungs at the West Texas polio center at he Plalnview Hospital and Clinic Foundation when the power failed. An electrical storm knocked it out the Lubbock Plainview area for periods varying from only a lew minutes to an hour. Parents of the children said they were never so scared, and then so grateful to those who helped operate the lungs. Hospital attendants, the parents. National Guardsmen, policemen, firemen, and public service company employes all helped.

HOLD IK, NEWT-? MACKENZIE'S COLUMN Moscow Is Still Having Trouble In Communizing Europe Satellites Bv DEWITT Mai-KEN7IF in By DEWITT AP Foreign Affairs Analyst Evidence multiplies that Moscow is far from having succeeded in communlzlng her satellite empire in eastern Europe. Indeed its' becoming increasingly clear that Soviet efforts to bring that part of the continent into the Red fold to say nothing of an ideological conquest of western Europe will be a long range affair at best.

It's the old, old story that you may compel physical obedience by force, but you can't change men's minds by force. Signs of hostility to the Soviet regime continue to maifest themselves in various parts of eastern Europe despite the use of the iron land, Disaffection is so prevalent some states that there is an almost constant purge of the dls- elements going on. Specifically, in Czechoslovakia manj people recently have been sentenced some of them to death on charges of plotting to overthrow the government. And it should be noted that this is one of he key states of the Red empire. Over in the three little Baltic epublics the Russians have been waging a purge to protect the coas- al defense secrets.

The authorities eportedly fear fifth column ac- ivity by Baltic Nationalists along he seacoast where the Soviet is aid to have submarine pens and ocket launching sites. Hungary and Poland have been urinishing their quotas of alleged Isaffection. And of course Mos- ow has relegated Yugoslavia to he doghouse in toto with Tito. So the story runs until we have sufficient evidence to warrant the assumption that Moscow never will subdue nil of the present genera- Ion in eastern Europe.

Continuing the effort for better traffic in Paris, instituted by City Marshal Walters, the city attorney. Homer Ellis, warned that speeders and parkers in zones in front of theaters would be prosecuted. City council decided to submit a bond issue of $41.000, for completing street topping, to take the place of WPA money that had been withdrawn.

will have to rear and communize another generation before thi danger of revolt is wiped out, if ever it can be. So there we have another excellent reason why Moscow Isn't challenging fate by employing strong- arm methods to conquer western Europe. She knows that, despite her 17 divisions of troops, it would be making a push ahead terrific gamble to Without consolidating territory already overrun. The general who leaves pockets of rebels behind him is asking for trouble. Naturally another powerful reason for the stoppage of the Red drive in Europe lies in the newly acquired strength of western Europe from the Marshall plan and the Atlantic Pact military projects.

And that's not to overlook fact that America's striking power in atomic bombs is an unknown quantity to Moscow we hope. BOYLE'S COLUMN American Public Gets Bargain in Gen. Barth By DON WHITEHEAD (For Hal Boyle) WITH THE U. S. 25TH DIVISION, Korea f.fl The American public got a bargain in Brig.

Gen Seorge B. Barth of Leavenworth, Kas. He's about the nearest there 's to a doughboy's general that 've found in Korea. Officially, Barth commands the artillery in the U. S.

25th Infantry Division. Actually he's an old in- Tantryman at heart iiever is satisfied with just looking after the artillery. He's always poking around the front and checking up on the infantry. Barth's maui job is to see that he artillery is in position to give he maximum fire support to the foot soldiers. He does that.

But he also acts as a traffic cop, a one man reconnaissance patrol, and an idvisor who steadies officers with less combat experience NOT 'BRASSY' When people talk of generals, particularly in Washington, they are apt to use the term "brass bat." But there's nothing brassy about the one star on the helmet of George Barth. Here's a brief sketch of a day the general's routine: He's up at 6:30 and finished with breakfast by 7:30. After checking on the early morning battle situation, Earth sets out for the front by jeep with a weapon at his side. A. W.

NEVILLE Bock ward Glances Bubbling Spring Made Town Site Decision How the site of Marshall seat of Harrison County, was selected was told some time ago to the Rotary Club in that city by J. C. Armstrong, who was a school teacher and had gathered a lot of early-day history of that section. Harrison County was created from Shelby, one of the original Texas counties, by act of Texas Congress in 1839, but the actual organization was not made until a couple of years later. The first county seat was near the Sabine River.

It proved unhealthy, because, as was then supposed, by bad air, but as we now know by mosquitoes. So a move was begun to have another place selected! One member of the board named to make the selection was Peter Whetstone, who had a headright which he thought should be selected for the county seat. The Armstrong story said Whetstone saved his plea until the board had inspected several other possible sites, spending two days in doing it. One hot summer afternoon they came to the Whetstone land and were shown a spring that bubbled up where now is the city of Marshall. Whetstone emphasized the good points of his land it was elevated and had none of the objectionable features of the river location, was well wooded and spring watered.

One of the board 'expressed hhnselt vigorously agaiijst selecting the place, saying it' was the hottest and driest place'they had seen. Whereupon, Whetstone said he would give them a dfink from the spring. From a hpllow log where he had hidden it in anticipation of this objection 1 he took a jug, which he passed'to the members of the board. They liked the "water" so well that the jug went the rounds until it was empty. The board member who had objected to the location, was a bit unsteady on his feet by that time and he withdrew his objection.

He said that any spring that produced such water was the place where the county seat should be located. He moved that the Whetstone site be accepted and the vote in its favor was unanimous. Every abstract of land title in the city of Marshall has its origin in the Whetstone headright, but the spring is no longer in evidence ant! none of that famous water is obtainable legally in Marshall now. In the audience that heard the Armstrong story was a man who was a great-grandson ol one of the board members who selected the site, and he assented to the story as he had heard it years before from his father. It is a good story, not at all improbable, and should not be debunked like the George Washington cherry tree My Day By Eleanor Roosevelt (World copyright.

His first chore is to visit his artillery batteries to see where the guns are emplaces: if there is enough ammunition; if the men are in good spirits, and if there is anything he can do to help them. Once he knows all is well with his artillery, Barth pushes on up to visit the forward areas to see how things are going. VISITS TROOPS The other day Barth arrived at a regimental commuiid post just as the enemy was attacking, the regiment all along the line. Actually, he has pushed beyond the command post.

Foot soldiers gawked at the one-star general who rode through an area swept by enemy lire. Then he scrambled through a ravine to visit one of his batteries which was firing at the enemy at pointblank range blasting hillside less than 800 yards away. Then he swung down another road and went forward on another sector to see how the Marines were doing. The day before, Barth had pushed up so far that he had to take to a ditch when an enemy machinegunner swept the road with fire. Late in the afternoon he was back bringing with him to division headquarters an exact picture of the situation up front.

HYDE August 14, was the fifteenth anniversary of the social security act. and those of us who think back to the very beginnings realize how much has been done under that act to change the daily lives of our people. Of the original board, consisting of John G. Winant, Vincent Miles and Arthur Altmeyer, only Mr Altmeyer, is living today. His leadership has meant a great deal in the development of the whole social security program.

Anyone who knew John Winant will realize the idea would have great appeal for him, and as long as he lived he would have been deeply Interested in the development of a program which meant permanent changes for the better in the lives of so many people. I know people in this country who look upon social legislation as socialistic, if not Communistic, but there are few people who would run for public office and publicly oppose continuance and further development of Social Security. An old friend of mine, Miss Jane Hoey, of New York City, is the one bureau director who started out with the program and has remained with it ever since. She Is head of the Bureau of Public As- sistance. I remember her work In New York, but today, of course, she is much more widely known for what she has done in the Social Security program.

I think a great many people throughout the country will be grateful that 15 years ago we had the foresight to establish (he Social Security act and that we have had good leadership in the development of the programs under this act. My congratulations go to every member of the staff and to the director who is in charge today, Oscar Ewing. We got back from Tanglewood at a fairly reasonable hour Friday night. I will frankly say it was a surprise to me to find how much interest there seemed to be in the playing, of "Peter and the Wolf." It is charming music, however, and I enjoyed reciting the words and listening to the wonderful performance of the orchestra, led by Dr. Koussevitsky.

I have never recorded anything with an orchestra before and did not realize how difficult it is to get so many human beings to perform correctly. But it was finally achieved, and I hope the record will bring pleasure to a great many young people In the years to come. Advanced Air ROTC Men Can Resign From Reserve A rm WASHINGTON f.B Students in advanced Air Force reserve officer training can resign from reserve forces or the National Guard in order to complete their HOTC work.

YOUR BABY AND MINE An Allowance Will Teach Child Meaning of Money By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED In some newspaper interviews with children on the subject of money, it was Interesting to notice how few of these children had regular allowances. A few had, but most of them earned money by washing dishes, or just by being given small sums when they needed them. This is what might be expected of a subject upon which parents have such varied viewpoints.

Not all of them would handle money the same way. But, allowances are the best means of teaching children the use of money. They are not an indulgence, as some parents seem to think, but are educational. The child with an allowance knows exactly what ho can and cannot spend. His allowance should be scaled to his needs so that he does not become a spendthrift through having too large a one; nor a miser because he has too little.

AT SCHOOL AGE Children of school age should be able to manage from five to ten cents during their first year of school. This cannot be expected to take care of their Sunday School money which should be exclusive of their allowance but will be able to give them some experience in spending. That is what they leam first. As the child's needs increases, as well as his capacity to manage his pennies, the allowance can be made larger, Or.ly the parent is in a position to know when this should be done and how much of an increase is needed and can be managed. Children, themselves, differ greatly in their use and their appreciation of money.

Some children are parsimonious and get the most out of any money they have. Others spend it all the first day or two and then have to wait a week until their next allowance is due. Some children seem to care little for money and shun its responsibilities. ALL NEED IT Whichever type of child j-ou are dealing with will need an aUTTw- ance. The first two to give them a better education in how to spend and save, the latter to introduce him to the responsibility of money and help him to accept St.

The parsimonious child might want to dp more work than was available in order to earn more money. The spendthrift ditto. But the child who cares little for money would refuse tasks so that he might not be confronted with the responsibility of his earnings. To attach money to home tasks may bring about situations the die. So the consensus remains that an allowance, unrelated to home tasks hut related to the chiids' needs and capacity to manage, is the method best calculated to teach him the meaning and values of money.
