T h e R u th Circle is sending tw e n ty-five dollars to T h o u sand Sticks, a schoolo in K entucky, w h ich they have also been send ing packages to. ^School nurses attempt to dis cover ;tl)esc incipent cases, and to send the youngster home. Too often, however, they don't notice Billy’s symptoms before he has infected Freddie. Perhaps you have gone on the assumption that if an illness is serious enough o warrant keep ing your* boy or girl home from school, there w ill be a rise in temperature. Unfortunately, fe ver is not an infallible guide. Of ten it does not develop until a youngster has infected others. Hdw long should an ailing child be kept away from other children? Opinions vary, but not too widely. A youngster with cold'symptoms usually gives am ple evidence withit) 48 hours whether or not he actually has a cold. Or he w ill have develop ed other symptoms within that time if h i has something else. And, equally important, such an isolation period'keeps him from spreading any infectious disease when the danger of contagion is at Its highest. Measles, whooping cough, and other contagious dis eases are usually controlled by quarantine. The quarentine is the minimum period for which your child must be isolated. Your doctor\-may lengthen the period if he thinks it advisable. 'The next time Susie or Johnny starts the day w ith a snifTle, a raw throat, or a nagging cough, donT slirug.it'off as “just a cold”. Remember that these symptoms are a warning to watch your boy op -girl carefully—and to safe guard other youngsters by keep ing yours away .from them. If y.ou knew that this was a prelude to—let us say, 'rteasles—would you settd Johnny to* school? Probably not. Yet the protection of other people's ehildren and prevention of epidemics in your community depend to a large extent upon your handling of ap parently minor conditions. You W'oilld not want to think that your boy or girl gave little Mary Williams the cold from which her pneumonia developed. Or tha’t^Eddle Johnson’s rheuma tic fever developed from a sore throat he caught from your John ny. (Reprinted from October issue of Better Homes and Gardens, by permission.

Could an American have said thatT Or does it sound like a m essage from MoscowT Indeed, everything in that statement is un- American. It was written by Wil liam Z. Foe ter, head of the Coto- m unist Party in the United States. This statem ent Is reprinted in larg# type on the back of a pamphlet p re pared and distributed by a Cdrmnit- tee of the U. S. House of Represen tatives. This is the Committee that is accused of \witch-hunting.\ Sworn Statement Nor la the Congress guilty of dis tributing the sayings of Com m unists as propaganda for the Soviet*. The publication which carries Mr. Fos ter’s sworn statement is very much anti-Communlst The booklet is called: \100 Things You Should Know About Communism in the U. S. A.\ It is one of a series at five publications “on the Communist conspiracy and Its Influence in this country as a whole, on religion, on education, on labor and on our gov ern m e n t” By giving Mr. Foster a prominent position on the back cover of this booklet, obr Congress hoped to show Americans that native Communists really condemn themselves when ever they open their mouths. In the quotation, there is revealed Com munism’s greatest appeal: the lust for power, apd the urge to dominate others that some people have. There ia revealed also Its greatest weakness, for people everywhere do not like to be dominated by force. People like to be free. U f k i and Facts The Congressional Committee to which I refer is the Committee on un-American Activities. If you have ever listened to the palaver of Com munists or the \fellow travelers” (Communist sympathisers), the chances are you have heard this Committee of Congress strongly criticized. Like the committee says, the right answers given In the book let, by using the tacts, .must cer tainly infuriate th* Communists. It Is true also that many of these right answers will shock the average citi zen who ha* not studied the “ism ” closely. it is not my purpose to apologize tor the Committee on un-American Activities. No apologies are need- /♦a. It has done a great service to the American people in a\tlme when lifh t and facts are n e e d e d ^ clear up so much confusion. If the Com m ittee has made minor m istakes In the course of its work, it h a s at the sam e tim e done a glorious Job in reselling our people on the Ameri can way of life. It has opened die dark secrets of Communist con spirators. Hired Men The Communist policy Is to break down existing nations any way they can, and in the confusion to seize control. They will prom ise every kind of “better life,” but they have never been known to de liver i t As an American I am thankful for the work the Commit tee has done. I ssy with the Com m ittee: \You know what the United States is like todsy. If you w ant It axactly the opposite, you ahe*Id turn Com m u nist But before you do, re m e m b er you will lose your inde- .pebdence, your property, and your ’freedom of mind.” * PORT GIBSON Military rile s w ere held Tues- lay for R a y m o n d Earl Fisher, 33 .f Newark, w h o was killed in- tantly S a turday night, Oct. 15, \vhcn his c a r left Route 31 just »>ast of Pont Gibson, and rolled .lown a 30 foot em bankm ent on. .lie south side of the Barge Ca nal.
