Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
A PHILADELPHIA LAWYER named Myers Fisher liked
to come to Benjamin Frankin for free advice. "Friend
Franklin," he began one morning, "thee knows almost
everything. Can thee tell
me how I am to preserve
my small beer in the
back yard? My neighbors
always are tapping it o'
nights."
4iPut a barrel of fine, ;
old Madeira by the side'
cf it," advised Franklin.' "
"Let the neighbors but
get a taste of the Madei-
ra, and I . will engage .
they'll never trouble thy
Small beer any more."
.
Stonewall Jackson, great
Confederate general, was
- the Idol of the South, and it generally was believed, not without
Season, that given a mere handful of loyal troops, he could whip
' and outflank an army of thousands. -
After his death, legend had it that St. Peter sent two- angels
foriim. They searched everywhere, but couldn't find him. When
they reported their failure to St. Peter, he told them, "Why, he '
las flanked you both and has been here six hours!"

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
In New Delhi, the capital
of the Republic of India,
President Eisenhower makes
three speeches. In them he
I. Called for expansion of
universal recognition of
WORLD LAW as a sound
basis of peaces -
2. Declared summit confer
ences of the big powers have
less enduring influence for
peace than exchanges of stu
dents and people - to - people
contacts.
. fc Oiled for a worldwide
war on hunger.
A S TO NO. 1
."How can you have peace
"without law?
It can't be done i Before
there can be peace, there must
-be LAW. And ... If LAW is
"to bring PEACE . .' . the law
must be ENFORCED. If the
law is to be enforced, there
must be police. The League
of Nations got nowhere. Uni
ted Nations isn't getting very
far. . '
. Why? The answer is simple.
"NO POLICE. If we are to
have a world organization to
PROVIDE LAW, - we must
have a world police force to
'enforce the law.
AS TO NO. 2 V
Summit conferences of the
leaders of big powers are apt
to wind up as propaganda
battles. For that reason, they
:tend to SOW THE SEEDS OF
WAR rather than sowing the
seeds of peace.
' When people know each
other and understand
other, peace is possible.

each
A S TO NO.
When people are fedr they
are in a contented mood.
When they are hungry, they
are on the prod. People on
the prod are ripe for war.
I KNOW these statements
sound like pious platitudes.
But
SOMETHING is loose in the
world.
What is it?
I DON'T KNOW. But I
.HOPE it is a new and more
intelligent yearning on the
part of the people for PEACE.
For countless millenniums,
the people have tried to solve
their problems by WAR. It
hasn't worked. War has mere
ly brought MORE problems.
Maybe people are beginning
to realize that
CONSIDER MR. K.
, An odd and puzzling
change came over him a while
back. All of a sudden, he be
gan to talk less of war and
more of peace.
Why?
MAYBE, although he is a
despot, he got AFRAID of the
people. Of the PEOPLE of
Russia. Of the PEOPLE of
the conquered satellites. Of
the PEOPLE of all the world.
Anyway, let's hope so.
When despots begin to fear
the people, it's a good sign.
The first issue of the Cen
tral Point Elementary school
newspaper was printed as a

week. Students in grades

Mann and children Frankie,
Sheila Anne, Sherry and.
Jerry, of Hilts, Calif.
George Johns announced
that teachers and administra
tors are working on a new
physical education program
for grades three through five.
The program will start with
strength and coordination
testing followed by a develop
ment program designed to cor
rect weaknesses indicated by
testing. Existing facilities in
the elementary school gym
will be used for the program.
. The second six-weeks period
of school has ended with re

days', visit were Mr. and Mrs.
Ray Scott and Mrs. Eddie
Patronsky and daughters of

L. F. Scott of Central Point.
Mrs. Patronsky is Mrs. L. F.
Many Central .Point res
dents in the past have partici
pated in the annual Christmas
home decorating contest, and
have been looking forward to
this years events. Don Squire

TN CLOSING, one more
! thought:
Maybe Ike is taking a new
tack. Maybe he has concluded
that the big challenge of the
future is a FIGHT FOR THE
MENDS OF THE PEOPLE.
Maybe he is challenging Mr.
K to such a battle.
If so, he has made a pretty
good start in India.

WHY JOHNNY CAN'T READ
Ann Arbor, Mich. -DPD- In
some cnuaren, reauuig uuu-
culties may stem from a faulty
metabolism which affects
their perceptual ability, it was
pointed out at a recent meet
ing of the American Psychia
tric association. According to
i a paper by psychiatrist Donald
E. P. Smith, "Poor utilization
of the thyroid hormone and
calcium has been found among
some such children, and cor
rection of these deficiencies
led to sharp decrease in ten
sion and sharp increase in vis
