Gary S. - The wny I look at It Is June has just gone bud and there's no way to choline her now. Maybe If he Xets married and has a kid or two she'll get her feci on the ground and there' -a chunce she'll live a decent life. What's going to happen if she doesn't get married? She'll run around with every Tom, Dick nd Harry and we know now only too well what he'll be up to. We have tried to give our children the right upbring ing, but It looks as though we'vo fulled with Jane. What we've done wrong, I don't know. But I wash my hands of her. We're Just In for more heartaches If we try to do anything to change ncr ai mis tage of the game. Let her look out for herself. We have three other kids to worry bout. Th Council! It's big mis take to believe a tecn-gcr can't be chnnged. Adolescents lire tlll vory flcxiblo and responsive to change. In fact. It Is the lust tuge of llfo in which change Is eiuy. The youngster 1 still very unformed; habits have not taken deep root; way of Jlfe has not been set. However, It is not easy to mold a child at this age -particularly for the parents, with whom a problem child lins troubled relationship. At this period, a sympathetic nd understanding outsider can be great Influence for the good. But there should be trong cooperation between the parents and the outsider. Gary's readiness to wash a 18 -your -old girl down the drain is shocking. This girl badly needs her father's ten derness. She undoubtedly tnkes Gary' lack of respect for her os an Indication of what all men would feel toward her. If things continue this way In the S. home, Jane's battle for self-respect has been lost In the first round. Wc think he deserves a bettor chance thnn that. Mnry Is right In her feeling thnt the girl shouldn't be hunted off Into a marrliigo thnt Is almost certain to end In disnstcr. On the other hand, the parents' refusal to con gent to a marriage does not noll the end of the problem. Jt's only the beginning. The S.' may have tried to do right by Jane, but some w'icrc they have failed. Pos Ibly Jane la deeply Insecure or hasn't been given an under timdlng of sex In rclntlon to responsibility and moral vnl use.

Wild Flower Once Was Used to Kill Files Thero Is European Immi grant among the wild flow ers that sneaked Into Amer ica and established Itself firmly In waste places, along roadsides or In neglected fields. It carries Its yellow and brown tubular flowers In clus-ter-hcuds atop a tall stem und has an odor somewhat resem bling old cheese. This Is the wild flower known as Toadflax, but which has acquired another rather ridiculous name. Every farm boy knows the plant as, "but ter and eggs" or "eggs and bacon." Many of the wild flowers have Intriguing names usually indicating some common char acteristic, such as color, habit of growth or obvious color. Some names however, seem a little far-fetched, even though faintly descriptive at times. The guy who named this plant must have been lute for breakfast or missed the meal entirely, otherwise he never would have thought of such a name. But It stuck. Meek and Ptebian "Butter and eggs" is a meek plcblan plant, almost a waif among the wild flowers of the field, yet It is tough and hardy. It can live and thrive In soils ond under con ditions most other plants could never tolerate. In the most unfertile of soils and moisture lack, It can even en large Us range to take over entire fields. A dry sundy soil Is merely a challenge, something read ily overcome and conquered. The farmer treats It as an en emy. Livestock avoid it be cause of Its disagreeable taste, but It had Its place, and enjoyed a tiny segment of use fulness. In minor way It once served purpose. A long time ago, before the days of commercial insecti cides, many rural people knew the potency of the toad flax for killing flics. The Juice of the plnnt was mixed with sweet milk, the resultant concoction placed where flics were present. Around the farm kitchen or on the back porch of the farm house there were many of these household pests, but they became fewer as more and more of them drank of the lethal fluid. Due to its pe culiar taste, the farm cat avoided the saucer of milk. No Resemblance The same objectionable fla vor also kept the livestock at a respectful distance. The family cow didn't see any re semblance between "break fast bacon and eggs" or "but ter and eggs" with this cheesy smelling plant. The bumblebees, however, saw In the Toadflax a rich source of reward in the form of nectar. And the bee was the only flying Insect heavy enough to force down the small spur at the base of each yellow tubular blossom In or der to get at the sweet nectar within. When the bee gathered Its Public acceptance of presi dential recreation is fur more sympulhetic today than it use to be. Waller Lord, In his new book, "Hie Good Years," re alls the advice outgoing Pres ident Theodore Roosevelt gave William Howard Taft, the Republican presidential cundidates in the 1008 cam paign. "The folly of mankind is difficult to fathom," Roose velt told Taft. "It would seem Incredible that any one would care one way or the other about your playing golf, but I have received literally hun dreds of letters from the west protesting about it. . . . "I, myself, play tennis, and that game Is a little more familiar; . . . You never saw a photograph of me playing ten nis. I'm careful about that; photographj on horseback, yes; tennis, no. And golf is fatol." But Teddy felt It was little or none of the public's busi ness when he disappeared for days at a time bear hunting In the wildness of Louisiana, or spent protracted periods at his Oyster Bay. L.

Secrecy Labels Ordered Taken From Tons of Old Documents Washington - fUPD - The defense department hus Issued orders to .trip the secrecy la bels from tons of old docu ments which have accumulat ed In guarded storehouses across the land. Reduced storage costs for records no longer needing protection could run to sev eral hundred thousand dollars a year. The declassification process will be automatic for most documents from now on, Deputy Defense Secretary James H. Douglas announced. Time will be the criterion for discarding secrecy classifica tions. 12-Year Tim Limit The automatic time limit feature Is the keynote of the new plan. Once a paper is 12 years old, It will be "declas sified" entirely. Anyone who wants to examine it, presum ably may do so. Douglas' directive exempt ed "extremely sensitive doc uments" from the automatic downgrading plan, however. It may take 25 years to get records such as an Intelligence report or an Item on submar ine tactics, cut down from "to secret" to the minimum classification of "confiden tial." Such sensitive papers can be turned loose to the public -If ever -only after special review. The Pentagon action was enormous in scope. But it will benefit chiefly historians and researchers. In this particular action, the department did not deal with complaints - and there are many - about its handling of day-to-day data about America's defense policies and military forces. Standard Caution Rpatd Douglas did repeat a stan dard Pentagon caution, con tained in earlier directives, that "arbitrary and unreas onably withholding" of in formation must be avoided. He said concealment of mis takes and embarrassment is no ground for withholding otherwise reicasable data. As sistant secretary Murray Sny der said the department had scrupulously observed that policy. Snyder, who is In charge of the declassification project as well as all other Pentagon Information activities, hailed the downgrading of old docu ments as a "trail-blazing ef fort that will be copied" by other government agencies. To emphasize the enorm ity of the project, he cited the downgrading of one batch of archives tnat occupied 7,000 cubic feet of space -the equivalent, he said, of a dozen stacks as high as the 555-foot Washington monu ment, The opportunities for sav ings are obvious. It costs about 80 cents a year for each cubic foot of unclassified rec ords stored in ordinary ware houses. But the cost is $2 for secret material kept in expen sive buildings with special flies, alarm systems and guards. In 1058, the department Is sued an order declassifying most of the defense docu ments which originated prior to 1048. There were at that time 325,000 cubic feet of documents, probably compris ing 660 million pieces of pa per. The Pentagon said that doc uments being downgraded by today's directive Included: World War II reports on the lend-lease program, some Korean war reports, Inventor ies of defense department real estate and facilities, docu ments on personnel manage ment, training materials, re ports on administration in oc cupied areas, papers dealing with war-time controlled ma terials, plans, production and procurement, records of com bat units deactivated aftor World War II. Materials which may ba kept secret 24 years and re leased only after special re view Include: War plans of large land, sea and air combat forces, In telligence and counter-intelligence documents, radar and aerial photogrophy, reports on the Jamming of radar and other electronic devices, doc uments on structural and per formance data concerning ships and armament, docu ments that affect U. S. for eign policy. Our Hardware, Housewares and Sporting Goods mm WORE!! Dublin Elects Non-Catholic Mayor Dublin - HJPD - Maurice E.

The trial opened a new phase of the clean-up cam paign conducted by the revo lutionary government which took over after Rhee's pow erful regime was toppled by student riots earlier this year. On trial were 10 former cabinet ministers, 13 mem bers of Rhee's former ruling Liberal party's braintrust, 4 bankers, a former national police director, and 2 Home Affairs Ministry officials. Officials said they would hold night trial sessions to try to end the mass trial by mid-August.
