Now a family in Lu Ku, by hand tilling the soil seven days a week for eight months and working with a mule cart on construction proj eels for the other four, can earn the equivalent of $222 in a good year. Even in China this is not much money. But it is more than the peasants of Lu Ku have ever had before. , Without benefit of machinery, workers from the 10 villages which comprise the sprawling communal farm have by official account in creased production from the time worn soil by 600 per cent since totalization. The Sino-Sovict is a thriving es tablishment of 1,504 families seven miles from the heart of I'ciping. Lu Ku is the administrative cen ler of the (arm, which began in 1951 when 180 families pooled their labor under the rulebook guidance of a staff of Communist cadres sent from Poiping. Over tea, cigarettes and wet peanuts pulled from the farm's humanly fertilized soil, a director named Kuo Chen told of the co operative's development. His prac ticed, sing-song recitation never hesitated for a fact or statistic. Kuo Chen has told the same story many times to many visitors. Landlords were disposscsed and land redistributed on a common standard among the peasants in IPSO. In 1951, said Kuo Chen, the village families formed mutual aid learns of five families each, re taining their own portions of land but working together on them. The following year, mutual aid teams grew to 20, production In creased and a aemisociallst coop eratlva was formed, with peasants pooling their land and being paid (or land and labor contributed. Then the 10 surrounding villages eombined into one advanced co-op ef 15.000 mou (about 5,000 acres). AM land animals and equipment wera pooled into common owner ahip, and members were paid only (or labor contributed. Kuo Chen was asked what hap pened to the lnndlords who once owned the village.

TJicy Double Dated; Now lie's In Love With the Other Girl By DIIIIOTIIY DIX DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Mv eirl friend and I hid hn rf,,M dating for about a monlh, when suddenly my boy friend turned around and slarlcd dating her. He wrote to me, explaining that he had laiirn in love with the other girl. I n very hurt Should I try to win him back? Corliss DEAR CORLISS: Trying to win him back will cost you the friendship of the boy, your chum, and your pride. Stiffen the upper lip and take it wiiri a grin. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: After a two-and-half-weck hectic rush. during which I fell madly in love. Rill said he didn't like me as much as he thought. I cried for three days. 1 hadn't seen him (or two months, then last night he called me for a date. Should 1 go out with him? Cora DEAR CORA: What can you lose except more tears? Perhaps Bill has been considering and decided he really docs like you more than he thought. Boys are changeable but that's what puts a thrill in romancing. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My husband shows such favoritism toward our younger son. aned 3. that a bad impression is being created for our older boy, aged 8. The older must defer to the younger in every way. giving up toys or anything else the baby wants. How can 1 alter the situation? Aline DEAR ALINE: Your husband's mistaken notion of love is going lo turn an otherwise cute, adorable little boy into an insufferable. overbearing despot. When he is forced to acknowledge his darling boy's unpopularity, it will be too late to alter the situation. Get some good hooks on child training from your public library, and have hubby read the case histories. Tlicy may be illuminating. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Please answer this letter. I think the prob lem concerns many other young people, too. 1 like Dennis very, very much, I can t bear to see him with another girl, and I can t enjoy mvself with any other man. He'd like to date me. but 1 have misgivings on two scores: 1. hp's older than I 129 to 201, and 2, he's superior to me intellectually. My education ended with high school graduation and his includes a master's degree Sophia DEAR SOPHIA: Young people who like each other, as you and Dennis evidently do, have overcome much greater obstacles than these and actually, your misgivings are entirely uniounoea. a can of nine years is not too important. As lor education I hope you really didn't mean that yours "ended" wilh high-school gradua tion. You can go on as tar as you wisn. ll lormai scnoonng is imnossible. even at night, study, read, and learn by yourself. Aspiring to be Dennis' equal will give incentive and interest. A man worthy of respect and admiration, who can be looked up to, is any girl's dream. Don't throw away a wonderful friendship for foolish scruples. Send your problem lo Dorothy Dli. Or write lor her Irea leallet D-20, "A Considerate Approach." In all eases, be sure to enclose a stamped, srlf-addressed envelope, and send request lo her care of this newspaper.

Russ Aircraft Industry Said In High Stage LONDON (UP) Russia's air craft industry is moving into the "very advanced" stage but is still hampered by the general back wardness of Soviet industry, the authoritative publication Janes All The World's Aircraft said today. The book said the Soviet Union was developing atomic powered aircraft, guided missiles and ad vance design flying machines and in general showed more evidence of "moving fully into the field of modern aeronautics" last year. Editor Leonard Bridgman said Russian aircraft will "receive the modern refinements which they perhaps lack at present" when the general background ol soviet lite and industry improves.
