Fred Chea REALTY VIEWS Abraham Lincoln, a real leader of men, is commonly accepted as "the most respected figure in American History. Now, with his birthday near, we should pay honor to him. His own humble origin was in a log cabin and He never amassed a large fortune. But after a lifetime of thrift and shrewd obs e r v a 1 1 on, "Honest A b e" Hated his views on home ownership. "Property Is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; It is a positive eood In the world; That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." Follow Lincoln's advice. Be thrifty. Own vour own home. Buy through a kcm-iuk. Let us snow you the home or homesite that fits your needs. Call 2-5124.

New Zealand And Australia Aroused By Russian Threat Sydney, Australia (U.R) Con cern is mounting in Australia and New Zealand over the south ward push of Asiatic communism and other Far Eastern political developments. Conservative governments of these countries "down under" were swept into power by the recent ousting of entrenched so cialist labor regimes. Now they are recasting their foreign poli cies and checking their defenses. Both countries are looking to the Far East and northward to America and less to London and Europe. Both want United States protection as a cardinal point of foreign policy. The communists are driving onward toward the borders of an unstable French Indo-China. The United States therefore refuses to become involved in Formosa. Australians and New Zealanders therefore remember with grow ing uneasiness their predicament on Dec. 7, 1941. Isolation Feared Unrest in Burma. Malaya and Indo-China remind these people of the frightening isolation and the "out on a limb" feeling they endured when the Japanese at tacked Pearl Harbor. Their mounting fears are re- iiected in the growing space de voted to discussion of Asiatic events and backgrounds in news papers which a few years ago vir tually ignored the Far East. It is reflected also by the ex traordinary importance govern ments and the press attach to the British empire conference of for eign ministers at Colombo. The drift of events today is re calling nostalgically to the peo ple how the United States came to their aid in 1942. Suzy (Cat) Mourns Ignatz Her Friend Pittsburgh (U.R All cats don t hate all mice. Suzy, a cross eyed tabby belonging to Paul Hammaker, Dormont, Fa., cur rently is in mourning for one. Iznatz, a tiny field mouse cap tured near the Hammaker home, died and Suzy has been moping around the house ever since. She doesn't go near the bathtub any more. She and Ignatz used to play there daily. Suzy is no ordinary cat. She disdains milk, preferring to drinK water rignt out ot tne tap. Noting Suzy's gentleness. Ham maker introduced Ignatz to her when he tound him. tori while, the tiny fellow was frightened, but when he saw that the friend ly feline meant no harm, he walked right up and sat on her tummy. Suzy never batted a crossed eye. Each day, Hammaker would fill the bathtub with water and put a little boat in it. Ignatz would dive into the water and swim out to the boat. Deftly, he'd euide It to the side of the tub. where Suzy waited. Then she'd push the boat around with her outstretched raw. When thev weren't playing to gether, the'y ate together and Slept uigeincr. But Ignatz got just a little too old for a mouse. He finally died, of natural causes. Suzy hasn't been the same since.
