Unlike any other plane in production, the Skymaster utilizes an engine at each end of the cabin section. One engine pulls and the other pushes. To permit the tandem engine arrangement on the Sky master, the aircraft has twin cantilever tail cones extend ing back from each wing which support individual rud ders and a stabilizer. The cabin section, which carries four persons, is centered under the wing with the rear propeller centered between the cantilever tail sections.

Freeman has said that it would not be measurable. Freeman also has conceded, however, that if his plan works as he hopes it will, re tail prices of some foods like eggs and beef would not drop as far as they might under present farm laws. If consumers have to pass up some possible small food savings under the plan, how ever, Freeman maintains that his proposal to raise farm price supports and restrict production of feed grains would: -Not increase prices of beef and pork, and probably allow chicken and egg retail prices to slide about two per cent during the next year or two. -Save taxpayers up to about $500 million on eventual costs of the 1961 price support pro gram. -And increase the gross in come of typical feed grain pro ducers 10 to 12 per cent through higher support pric es and government payments for keeping land out of pro duction. The relationship between the feed grain surplus prob lem and the price the house wife pays for beef, pork, milk, chicken, and eggs, is simple and direct.

ADAMS Pastor, First Baptist Church, Richmond, Va. (Written for UPI) Christianity has proved its durability. It has survived persecution at the hands of both totalitarian governments, and intolerant religionists. It has the power to continue vibrant regardless of world situations. Dr. Kenneth Scott Latourette, the historian, well says, "Christianity is more to be reckoned with today than ever before." For Christians, this there fore is a wonderful age , in which to be alive. Our times demand Christians of unwav ering faith, deep convictions and courageous commitment. We are called to cooperate with all believers to give the Gospel to all the world and relate it to all of life. But in addition each of us has a per sonal, individual responsibil ity to stand in his own place and serve where God has put us. I think of tins responsibil ity in the words of the charge my father gave me when I was ordained to the ministry. He said, "I charge you with three things: Keep close to God. Keep close to men. Brine God and men together." This is our unending mandate unui "at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow ... and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father." LizTayloFsRest Plans Being Made London-am- Elizabeth Tay lor's recovery from her near fatal bout with pneumonia had reached the point Monday where husband Eddie Fisher already was reported plan ning to take her to California or the French Riviera for re cuperation. Doctors attending the 29-vear-old movie star were ex pected rliortly to give Fisher some indication on when Miss Taylor will be well enough to leave the London clinic where she was taken near death a week ago Saturday. Miss Taylor's recovery from the deadly staphylococ cus pneumonia was hailed as a "miracle'' by Fisher, who admitted that his hope for her survival had "faltered" at one stock protein foods. When grain supplies are heavy and prices low, livestock feeding picks up and the result is bigger supplies of livestock goods at lower prices. When feed supplies tighten, the higher cost of these raw mate rials is eventually felt in higher-priced steaks, chops, and cheeses. Two factors would operate to east the impact of any suc cessful federal production-cutting plan on retail food prices at present. Record High Surpluses One is the fact that the gov ernment currently is holding record-high surpluses of feed grains. If current production can be cut below farmers' actual needs, government stocks can be released to pre vent market shortages and prevent steep price increases. Agriculture department ex perts figure that if the 1960 corn support price of $1.06 per bushel is increased to $1.20 for 1961, corn market prices would average about $1.15. In 1958, corn was sup ported at $1.36. A second point is the fact that the normal production cycles of both beef and pork are currently on the "up" side. Cattle and hog herds are Increasing and produc tion of both meats will be heavy this year. Not Straight Basis Any future increase in the cost of producing livestock products would not necessar ily be passed through to con sumers on a straight percent age basis. Hog raisers, for example, get only 52 cents of the consumer pork dollar with the rest going for processing and marketing charges. A one per cent increase in hog val ues raise retail prices only about one-half of one per cent if marketing costs re mained the same. Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkint (Register and Trlbuns Syndicate 1961) Happy Ending to Animal Stories? It Just Doesn't Work That Way "Wouldn't it be better," asks a reader, "to have the stories end happily, instead of having the little creature die, or be severly hurt? A happy ending does leave a pleasant taste in the reader's mind but too many times, in the lives of the little creatures of the fields and forests, the end is far from pleasant. To them death is always near; it is unusual indeed that any of them can look forward to any sort of a future; to most of them death is sudden, and vio lent. Nature, in the raw is sel dom mild. Recording their lives could not be truthfully told if only the happy incidents were re ported. There is a constant parade of events, not so joy ous, that makes up the every day life of a wild creature. The survival of the fittest, and the eat-or-be-eaten formu la is operative constantly in the world of living things. In so many of the small lives, es cape is always temporary; they only escape today, to live for another danger the next. It docs seem .rather ironic that the complicated growth, and structure of a bird, with its hollow bones and feathers and working parts, should so suddenly be crushed under the wheels of an automobile, when it took all the chemistry of time and growth of living cells many months, to perfect the working body, but such is often the case. The bird wise enough to Test Taken by 97 Medford High Pupils Ninety-seven students at Medford High school took the National Merit Scholarship qualifying test, according to Lester Harris, principal. The test was administered at the high school at 9 a.m. March 11. The qualifying test is a three-hour examination of educational development. The test is the first step in the seventh annual competi tion for four-year Merit Schol arships provided by the Na tional Merit Scholarship cor poration and by sponsoring corporations, foundations, as sociations, and individuals. The scores of students will be reported to their schools before the end of the spring semester in time for use by class advisors Some 10.000 semifinalists, the highest scor ers in each state, will be nam ed early next fall. They will be asked to take a second examination and those who re peat their high performance will become finalists In the a-MlTim. Mrs. E. B. Natilie is a bright child, yet she is full of unreasonable fears. Natilie B. All they do is make fun of me, and tell me to snap out of it. Mrs. E. B. To look at her, you'd think Natalie was the happiest girl in the world. She's close to the top of her class in high school where, at 14, she's a sophomore. And she's popular, both in school and in the neighborhood. But, inside herself, she seems to be shaking all the time. Most children get over their childhood fears, but Natalie has carried hers along to ado lescence, and added a few more. 1 m used to naving ner run into my bed at the first stroke of lighning. In the sum mer we can't get her into the ocean above her knees, so great is her fear of drowning. At present, though, it's her fear of the dark that's getting worse instead of better. Here she's older, more sensible, yet still insists upon my holding her hand, slaying with her, and leaving a night-light on, just as she did at five and six. Natalie B. My family isn't helping matters by ridiculing avoid a fast moving car may survive a little while, and be get children who may them selves acquire some of the par ent s wisdom, and in conse quence live safely for a while, in a world of moving vehicles. Whether a habit can be come so much a part of a liv ing being, that it will be hand ed down to descendants as an instinctive behaviorism, is somthing no one can answer. In some cases it is thought to be true, but no one has gone along this road far enough to know for sure. Heredity is a peculiar thing and we don't have all the answers. The surprising thing about the entire, complex system of this living world is, thai there always seem to be enough survivors to carry on the spe cies; unless man steps in and bungles the set-up. From the school of fish that constantly is preyed on by larger fish, some few escape to rcpopulate the sea, or lake, with fishes. Over the cold of winter, and in spite of sprays and insecti cides of a thousand kinds, enough bugs live to start the cycle again the following year. From the thousands of field mice born, most must go to continue the life of larger ani mals, but here and there a pair escape, and the race of mice goes on. That they may live their little lives complete, seems not to be the "law of Nature"; many must die that others can struggle on; a happy ending in the lives of God's little crea tures is the glaring exception. Entanglements Is Speaker's Topic No matter how complex the entanglements c o n f r o nting mankind, they can be solved through spiritual understand ing of God good, Arch Bailey said Sunday in Medford at a lecture at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, 100 Wind sor ave. "Let us never doubt the su premacy of good!" he declared. Bailey described healings through wholly spiritual means, and told how scientific Drayer disentangles the snar led ambiguities of modern liv ing. Speaking on "Christian Science: The Solution for Mankind's Entanglements,1 Bailey emphasized the impor tance of gaining a clearer un derstanding of the true nature of man. Divine healing is bas ed on spiritual understanding of the real nature of God and man, the speaker maintained Effective prayer, he said is more the act of listening to God than of informing Him. No matter how complex our entanglements, the speaker concluded, individually or un iversally, the acknowledge ment and application of the truth of Christian Science will open the way to their solu tion. Let us never doubt the supremacy of good. me. The oilier day my oiaor brother handed me a bottle with a nipple on it, as a gag: And my father said he's buy ing me a brand new teddy bear for my next birthday. Maybe I have a vivid imag- nation, btit I don t feel safe in the water. I see myself knocked over by a wave and unable to get up. When I was young, the house across the street from ours was struck by lightning so it could just well happen here, to us. Yes, the dark terrifies me because it's so mysterious. I hear scraping and squeaking and can't explain it. I feci better when my mother lolls me it's a door or a chair, and not a prowler. I think I'm afraid because feel helpless about so many things. Instead of laughing at me, I wish thcy's help me feel more powerful. . The Council: Natalie must have had some frights, far back in her infancy and child hood, which no one was aware of, no one allayed, no one ex plained. So, keeping them locked inside her, she has ad ded new and more explain able fears, and needs patient expert help to exorcise them one by one and then release her from her apprehensive at titude toward life. Ridicule is cruel and fu tile. Glib exhortations to "for get it" are just talk. Natalie must be able to look squarely at Ihe Hung she tears, exam- ne it closely, and then end her fear by doing the thing she has always feared to do. She, (and the rest of us), were born with only two fears, say the psychologists: the fear of a loud noise and the fear of loss of support. All other fears are learned, and they grow from the big gest fear of all fear of the unknown. Therefore, Nata lies fears can only give way before the Known. She must know, and more important that some of the things she's calling "threats" aren't that at all. The pitfall which Mrs. B and the family may be fall ing into is attributing some of Natalie's "acting-up" to the self-dramatization of an imag inative adolescent. That' where a psychological coun selor comes in handy, distin guishing deep-rooted terror from mere attention-getting histrionics. Getting down to cases, Nat- U. S.
