Sam S.-Pat's sister must
look out for herself.
Pat S.-She has had a tough
break.
Sam S-My wife and I have
been married ten years and
have four children. Things
have gone well with us since
our marriage. We've been
able to buy a nice home and
my wife has always had all
the help she needed.
..Nevertheless, I often come
home to find Pat all worn out
because she has been helping
her sister all day. She'll often
go to her sister's home in the
morning and stay most of the
day helping her with her
young children. In the mean
time our children are looked
after by a servant.
I've tried to show Pat this
just doesn't make sense. Her
sister must look out for her
self. This sister is just making
use of Pat and has never
shown any gratitude for all
Pat has done.
Patricia S.-In his more con
siderate moods, Sam will ad
mit my sister has really had
a very tough break in life.
Her husband was in an acci
dent early in their marriage
and he has never been able
to get back into full swing
in his work. They have barely
been able to make ends meet.
My sister has four children,
as I have, but each child has
been seriously ill at one time
or another. There always
seems to be a big emergency
In her household.
How can I possibly relax
In my home when I know my
sister is going through crises
without any help in hers? My
sister and I are only a year
apart in age and we were al
ways very close. It's unfair
that things should be so much
harder for her.
The Council: One famous
character in English fiction
had a habit of writing long
letters to the newspapers
about the terrible plight of
the starving children in all
parts of the world, while her
own ragged, starving chil
dren tugged at her skirts, beg
ging for food and attention.
Pat may feel her situation
is a long way from this one,
but we think it's a fairly apt
parallel. True, Pat's children
are left in the care of a serv
ant who feeds them, but we
wouldn't hesitate to bet on
the fact that each one of those
four young children could
benefit by their mother's at
tention several times in the
course of a day.
t Ordinary common sense
and mother's instinct should
tell Pat her place is with her
children while they are young
but she is driven to her sis
ter's home by something
stronger-a sense of guilt
which can only have its basis
in an unexpressed hostility
toward her sister.
We aren't trying to belittle
her genuine desire to see her
sister better off, but we do
think she should be able to
recognize when and why her
solicitude for her sister ex
ceeds sensible bounds.

CIVILIAN CASUALTY An aged and bare-footed civilian
casualty from Quemoy arrives at Taipei, Formosa, as
sisted by hospital personnel. In latest developments on
Formosa, Nationalist China's three largest newspapers
have attacked proposals for demilitarizing the offshore
islands of Quemoy and Matsu. But U.S. Secertary of
State John Foster Dulles has put Nationalist China on
notice that the U. S. will not refuse to negotiate with the
Chinese Red if they stop shooting.
World War II Manpower
Shortage Helped Realize
Handicap's Potential
Editor's note: The following was
written by John W. Sinders, cor
ordinalor of selective placement
for the physically handicapped at
the Camp White Domiciliary and
a member of the Jackson county
committee for employment of the
physically handicapped. National
Employ the Handicapped Week is
currently being observed.
Shortage of manpower
which developed during
World War II made it impera
tive that every source of po-
tentional power be investigat
ed and utilized.
The Federal Service was
one of the pioneers in selec
tive placement which made it
possible to utilize manpower
supplied by the handicapped
worker.
Physical standards had been
set so high as a result of pre
judice against employing
handicapped persons that
many persons who were other
wise qualified for particular
positions could not be placed
in those positions until job
standards had been revamped
and modified.
Workers Observed
The Civil Service Commis
sion set out to accomplish this
task. Their doctors observed
workers on their jobs and in
terviewed them. Supervisors,
familiar with all phases of
the job, were consulted.
Safety officers were inter
viewed and consulted.
Thus, it was learned what
was done, how it was done,
and what skills were used in
the doing.
Facts obtained from this ex
tensive study were used to
revise physical standards to
make them more practical and
to permit the otherwise handi
capped person to qualify for
employment.
It would be foolish to say
that every handicapped per
son could fill every job just as
it would be equally foolish to
say that every non-handicap-per
person could adequately
perform any job. However, if
the handicapped person meets
other requiments the job it
self should be studied to see
if his handicap actualljMs a
handicap insofar 'as The" parC"
ticular job is concerned.
Fix- 3n io Job
It is not practical to have
blanket pnysical requirements
to cover every type of employ
ment. A man who works at a
desk would not need to be
as physically sound, for ex
ample, as a fireman. There
fore, selective placement
makes it possible to fit the
man to the job.
Civil Service records prove
that handicapped workers per
form as well as able-bodied
workers, that they have a
much lower rate of turnover,
that they have fewer lost-time
accidents, that absenteeism is
not higher than that of able
bodied workers.
The Civil Service has help
ed the handicapped worker
prove that he is an asset and
not a handicap to the man
who employs him. Won't you
give him a chance?
Britain, China Expected To
Join Race To Explore Universe
Editor's note:. The first of the
Space Age has seemed to be an ex
clusive contest Between the U.S.
and Russia. In the following dis
patch, a noted British scietist tells
why the second year will be dif
ferent what Britain plans as its
contribution to the conquest of
of space.
By L. J. CARTER
Secrelary of ihe British Inter
planetary Society
(Written for United Press
International)
London-(UPD - The age of
space is only one year old but
already science is proving
that once it achieves a break
through its progess is explo
sive rather than gradual.
Russia and the United States
monopolized the first year of
the new era but it is quite
apparent that before the next
anniversary there may be two
more' members of the satellite
club Britain and China.
Scientists would like to see
politics kept out of space', but
this may not be possible. The
orbiting by Russia of the first
Sputnik gave it a tremendous
prestige victory. Moscow
knows that if' it supplies
China with rockets and the
Chinese succeed in putting a
"Chinutnik" into orbit this
would give the East a further
advantage.
Hence, although Britain
realizes there are no good
grounds for duplicating Amer
icans and Russian work, there
is ihe all-important political
aspect. This underlines the
view that Britain ought to
put up several satellites in
the near future to offset a
possible Eastern preponder
ance. Little Impact '
Looking back over the
eventful year it is odd how
little impact the launching of
Sputnik I made on the British
people- who had no intense
feeling of competition with
the Russians, as had the Amer
icans. Britain did not consider it
a blow to national pride and
was inclined rather to take it
for granted since for the pre
ceding 10 years space flight
had been a common topic for
discussion and many people
were wondering why it was
all taking so long anyway.
There was, however, little
official interest in space flight.
Sputnik I came as a sur
prise, of course, to the scien
tific community. The tend
ency was to regard satellites
as an expensive way of ac
complishing very little.
Sputnik I came, however,
Motorcyclist Dies
As Result of Crash
Cougar, Wash.-(UPD-A mo
torcyclist was injured fatally
Monday when his vehicle and
a logging truck collided on
Lewis River road about three
miles west of here.
The Washington state pa
trol identified the victim as
Lewis Andresen 50, Corval
lis, Ore. He died en route to
Providence hospital in Port
land. Driver of the logging truck,
Okey M. Hamrick, 46, Wood
land, was not hurt. Patrolmen
said the motorcycle was east
bound and the truck west
bound when the accident occurred.
REBELS IN TUNIS
Tunis -(UPD-Premier Ferhat
Abbas and three members of
his Algerian government-in-exile
were in Tunis today on
what was billed as a private
visit. It was expected they
will confer with Tunisian
President Habib Bourguiba.
as a real shock. The weight
and wealth of instrumentation
showed beyond all doubt what
such a satellite could do and
brought with it the realization
that the 20-40 pound satellite
was by no means the limit of
what was technically feasible.
It was obvious to scientists
most i n t i m a tely connected
with the International Geo
physical Year that new and
exciting possibilities were
about to be opened up. Offi
cial quarters, too, became
more interested in space flight
though this was equally due
to the fact the British aircraft
industry faced a cutback in
production and was building
up pressure to secure another
outlet for its research staffs.
Fighting Talk
Then Prince Philip took
the bull completely by the
horns and publicly declared:
"I personally cannot believe
that the British people or the
people of the Commonwealth
will be content to sit by and
watch others explore the uni
verse around us."
This was obviously fighting
talk and results were not long
in appearing. Soon afterwards
the existence of two British
research vehicles, "The Black
Knight" and a re-entry ve
hicle called "Blue Streak,"
were made known.
A test firing of "Black
Knight" recently put it up to
about 300 miles and present
information shows that it
could probably launch a satel
lite much larger than the
American "Explorers' or 'Van
guards" though nt such a
heavyweight as the Russian
Sputnik III.
No Satisfaction Answer
There are still many people
in the United Kingdom and
elsewhere who ask, as the
second year of Space begins:
"What are wt going to get for
our money?"
There is no satisfactory an
swer this early in the game.
But all past history shows
that science has an uncanny
way of paying off and space
flight will be no exception.
Even if it doesn't pay off im
mediately in a material sense
it may well do so in a spiritual
sense.
In this, the great centenary
year of the evolutionary
theory of Charles Darwin,
some of us are wondering if
space flight is another means
of natural selection. Is it na
ture's way of ensuring that
the vigorous people survive
while the others who stay at
home gradually fade away?
This is a thought worth
considering as we begin the
second year of the space age.
