course, that the largest single purpose to
which government funds are directed is to
the military and allied purposes. W’hile the
admirals and the generals try to tie each
other up in knots over who’s going to build
the biggest airplane or the biggest aircraft
carrier, it seems that at least they can unify
their efforts in gouging huge scoops from
the public trough.
The forces that wanted this “ generah*in
crease” in wage allotments started a rather
public campaign that was sought to inspire
sympathy and horrified agreement to the
picture o f underpaid military leaders. Gen
erals Eisenhower, Bradley and others, who
had served nobly in the uniform of their
country, were listed as in favor o f the bill.
But after the beginning publicity, little was
noted o f the movement.
Now perhaps its is a shameful disrespect
to argue an accomplished fact. The generals
have really made a haul and the taxpayers
might as well make up their minds they are
stuck with it. But, o f course, there are ques
tions to be answered.
W hatever happened to the concept of pul>-
lio Rprvice. patriotic duty and 20 year’s
security which life in a uniform was sup
posed to exem plify?
It seems unbelievable that military leaders
have been so underpaid that they deserve
an increase of $3600 a year. The most har
rowing tale o f hardship and privation that
the generals might be able to build up would
leave many o f us cold and unmoved.
To make the higher ranks o f the military
so extremely well-paid will not further the
wishes o f those who do not favor inflated
military budgets. And as for military effici
ency, history does not o ffe r any basis for
the belief that a well-paid military strategist
is a competent one.
And most certainly the record of battle—
which should he the common level o f com
parison— never set the value o f an army
private in ratio o f 6 to 300 with any gen

liberal education from a flock o f banty
chickens. There is something about these
birds that smacks o f independence and arro
gance and though they might bedevil you
at times, you can’t help but give them their
due credit.
We have a cocky little rooster who rides

lord o f his flock and you never see him but
that his subordinates are well within cluck

In this case, o f course, the banties are as

whims are paramount.
It so happens that one o f the most desir
able social traits o f these miniature chickens
is their ability to produce a beautiful, golden
yolked egg. as perfect a masterpiece as
ever graced a breakfast plate. This we dis
covered one Sunday morning, upon stum
bling onto three carefully nested eggs in an
unused, hay-filled manger.
It became a matter o f great anticipation.
W e resolved to make “ regular collections”
and put to good use the unexpected bonanza.
Resolutions and intentions, indeed! For a
full week, we carefully scouted all likely
nesting spots— and came up empty handed.
Then, by another accidental stumble, a nest
yielded 14 eggs, about half o f them usable
in the kitchen and the rest for pet food.
And, despite an ensuing search, almost two
weeks went by before another dozen e g g s 1
were discovered.
There can be no denying the campaign of
the hantv flock to confuse and hinder pleas
ant breakfasts is annoying. It is a waste of
time and effort. It’s a frustration o f a sym
bolic role we’d be only too happy to have the
chickens live up to.
But to all this, the banties are blissfully
unconcerned. They go about their private
ways, doing what they want to do and lay

might desire.
