Wisdom IN ADVANCE || I People a-c ao forgetful that at own traditions Now It ic r n a the United States is faced with a presidential de mand fo" universal military training as s “ means of strengthening the security” of the nation. The people o f the country, beset and confused by the carefully highlighted dangers that are intarnation- tily lying in wait for the future, are divided, with many of them feeling that perhapr thare is an advantage in preparedness. What must te faced in any fair estimate of the UMT program Is that the .-os* to the ration would total $1,750,000,000 each year plus .the lors in goods and services which would result from the withdrawal of shout one million men from productive work, during their training period. With U S.commitals by the Marshall plan flirting benignly in the billions, destined within restrictions to the rehabilitation of Europe, there should redly he a little slowdown in leas necessary expend itures. And of all things this nation needs. UMT seems to be about the least. Farm, lal or, church and social organisations are leading oppon ents to th_- president’s suggested change in the restrictions of the United States They seem to see in the proposal an insidious threat of a n -wer mo t disastrous war as well as a dangerous fallacy behind which no people can effectively hide. President Truman apparently believes, or through his advisors is led to assume, that the world is definitely divided into two spheres of power which cannot be other than conflicting. It Is also accepted, at the White H use. that a war with Russia is so inevitable that not more than ten years respite separates us from probably, the most hitter—and final -war in history. I f President Truman is gifted with conclusive evidence of the Future's portent, his proposal of a staggering armed forces ex penditure would still seem poorly advised. History has showed the course of downfall which other nations followed by w ry of conscription in peacetime and a staggering arms budget. Recent examples of France and Norway, to cite but two »xamples. show how utter the fallacy of s conscripted defense against Invasion. The true security for any nation is in its technical and industrial rtrength. (Jiviry ap annual clasa of 18-year-old lads one year in uniform then considering them s reserve of strength against any offenses will add very little in the technical skills required Street. New York 10, N. Y. Prob ably there Is some connection be tween sunspots and both crops and business which we do not yet understand The science o f all forecasting Is In its Infancy. Brief ly the sunspot theory is that when these spots are very brilliant and active, we suffer from either, or both, very hot and very cold weather. It is further true that these sunspots will be brilliant in 1M8. On the other hand, since the cold summer of 1816. when the sunspots were very brilliant, there have been many other years when the sunspots were equally brilliant and when none of the corresponding years were badly upset by weather conditions. Therefore, as a statistician. I would say that there Is no existing evidence for farmers to worry about concerning sunspots, al though there may be much for the radio broadcasting companies to tAeA W STMONir RALEIGH HILLS GROCERY Q U ALITY C ROUERIES and MEATS FAIM FRESH VEGETABLES AND ERO/EN rOODS BertHo-Beo verton Highway ot Schollt Ferry Rood C H e rr y 2 1 8 9 Open Sunday» in s t a l i in . . . o i s t U L a ta rra irst i s s r u u n o s isss a. w.

Before mak ing any purchase, visit the new U. 8. irrigation developments in the southwest Thsy are worthy of careful study as the so-called "Arid" land Is very very rich.

It was a year of several volcanoes In action. These might well have caused dust In the air which could shut o ff the sunshine. I further understand that certain other cold summers have come along In conjunction with many dust storms and other causes. The above is not saying that 1M8 may not witness a cold sum mer. but farmers and others will be wise to plan upon normal weather, at least so far as tem perature is concerned As to rain- i Quality need not be sacrificed to make your food budget stretch for enough to cover your needs You con rely on us EACH AND EVERY DAY .. to bring you the very peak of quality., at most substantial savings!

It isn't so long ago that parents bade godspeed to their young, as they embarked on s career of national defense. Have they forgotten, so soon, that they want s quicker, more terrible repetition of the latest e^tlon of World War?
