Helping Gifted Youngsters
For years 1 have been main
taining that the most stupid and
disastrous thing we Americans
have been doing each year is
to let many of our most gifted
and potentially useful young
people go with
out a higher
education in
physics, chem
istry, engine
ering or med
icine simply
because they
were poor and
could not af
ford it. Here
itrt are our Hospi
tals crying out for thousands
more interns, and our research
laboratories handicapped for
lack of trained workers. And
across the Atlantic the Russians
have been giving, gratis, to
thousands of bright young men
and women a technical educa
tion. Why? So that these persons
will turn to and develop wea
pons that can be used some day
for our destruction.
We, who have had billions of
dollars to give away to Burma,
or Pakistan or Egypt, have had
hardly a dollar to spare for the
higher education of our most
scientifically - gifted boys and
girls such as can be found in our
great high schools! As I keep
saying, we human beings are
funny we are often so illogical
in our behavior. Fortunately, at
last a start has been made, and I
rejoice as I read of The National
Merit Scholarship Corporation,
of Evanston, 111., which has just
awarded scholarships to 556
gifted youngsters.
Enormous credit for this step
forward goes to my friend, Mr.
Rowan Gaither and his assoc
iates in the great Ford Founda
tion which gave many millions
of dollars. Money was received
also from the Carnegie Founda
tion; and later the N.M.S. presi
dent, John M. Stalnaker, induc
ed 23 companies to contribute
funds. More money is still need
ed, and it is to be hoped that
many foundations and firms will
now contribute to this best of
all causes.
I will never forget how sad
dened I was a few years ago
when I heard that the two most
brilliant and scientifically-inclined
students graduated from
fhe high school in my city had
had to give up their ambition of
going to college. Because of
their father's chronic illness they
had had to go right to work to
support, not only themselves,
but also some younger brothers
and sisters. Let us see to it that
this sort of thing never happens
again.
Diet and Longevity
My good friend. Dr. Nils P.
Larsen, of Honolulu, said re
cently, at a meeting of the Nev
ada State Medical Association,
that in the last 25 years there
has been a great increase in
Hawaii in the incidence of fatal
heart attacks. After much study
of the hearts of persons who
have come to autopsy, he sus
pects that this has been due to
the fact that the people in Ha
waii, with a good income, have
of late, been eating much butter,
cream, eggs and milk.
In recent conversations with
Japanese physicians, Dr. Larsen
found that the village of Nar
usawa, at the foot of Mt. Fuji,
had the lowest rejection rate for
conscripts. There villagers lived
Llargely on soy bean soup. An
other village, Mukojima, is
peopled by persons with the
greatest longevity of any village
group in Japan. Some 8.4 per
cent of the population are over
70 years of age. There are no
rice fields in Mukojima and the
diet of the people consists main
ly of noodles, made from sweet
potatoes; also dumplings made
from "wheat-beans," dried sweet
potatoes, and azuki beans; also,
small fish and sea-weed, carrots
and pumpkins. It will be noted
that there is very little fat in
this diet and, of course, only a
moderate amount of protein. On
such a spare diet the people can
never become stout.

Unemployment Rises
By Timber Layoffs
Salem U.R) Letdowns in
Oregon's timber belt have added
10,000 jobseekers to the state's
total, the unemployment com
pensation commission reported
Saturday.
The increase brought the to
tal to 25.400 against 21,100 this
time last year.
Early snow and cold. were
blamed for many lumber lay
offs and a slackening demand
for lumber layoffs and a slack
ening demand for lumber was
also a contributing cause.

Infants, human qualifications have been set
forth, and God has been denied His right to
