Milton P.-She should leave him alone. He's not the book ish type. Rotili P .-Bookish or not, he'd better learn to read fast er. Milton P. - Our son is only 9, but you'd think he was try ing to get into college the way my wife keeps him at his books. Instead of letting fcim 'go out to play a little aAer supper, she makes him sweat and strain to read her a page out of his reader every eve ning. So what if he doesn't take j to books? Plenty of people get along without them. I'm not much of a reader myself. The newspaper is enough for me. Of course I'd like to see John ny go further than me. But he can do it with his brains and his hands. The reading isn't so important that he must give up his fun for it. Rosalia P. - Johnny is one of the poor readers in his class and the teacher sent home a note asking me to go over his words with him. She also asked me to read stories to him.' Maybe I'm not such a good reader myself, because he won't sit still to listen, but I do manage to get him to squeeze out a few lines of his school reader each day. It's a struggle - first, because read ing comes so hard to Johnny and, also, because my husband doesn I think reading is im portant. I know it's important. I wish I could read faster my self. You have to read for al most everything you do. John ny got started wrong. I taught him one way, the school an other. Now he wants to give up. Th Council: There may have been a time when liter acy was a frill, when reading ability was something you could take or leave. But now when even the farm hand must be able to read the di rections for assembling the milking stool, a low reading skill Is a real handicap. Rosa lie is wise In trying to spare her son this disadvantage. Reading Is the key to all com munications, all learning. The schools now find that the poor readers are the ones who want to drop out ol school as soon as possible. And since this merely floods the unskilled labor market, it is a calamity to be avoided by inspiring reading proficiency, even reading enjoyment in the I MUS STAMP DAYS!

This explains the teacher's note to Rosalie. Of course, it would be bet ter if the special handling of Johnny's problem were a joint project of both parents, guid ed by the remedial reading ex perts at the school. There are conflicting methods and atti tudes blocking his progress. Is he learning the whole - word recognition, or the sound-out-the-letters approach? Is read ing a painful school subject, or an exhilarating pathway to fun? To help Rosalie (and Mil ton, too) get Johnny over the hump, until the school takes over more dynamically, we d like to pass along some novel ideas submitted by our read ers after we reported another case of reading difficulty: Try the "puppy game." Write Johnny's words on a stack of cards. Paste an en velope on a stuffed puppy's mouth and whenever Johnny reads a card correctly put it in the envelope as food for the puppy. Try recipes as reading ma terial. Get a book of chil dren's recipes and let Johnny read and follow them. Encourage much reading aloud. Johnny to you, you to Johnny. In addition to im nroving word-recognition, it offers a chance for closeness.

J i K j? sh First Operations Described If US Attacked From the Air By ROBERT L. FREY United Press International Offutt Air Force Base, Neb. -HOT- If an attack by air on the United States resulted in war, here is where the first operational command deci sions would be made. The aerospace war would be directed from the Command Post three stories under ground by Strategic Air Com mand General Thomas S. Power over a global ground and air communications sys tem. His battle results would be recorded and co-ordinated by a battery of International Business Machines computers. The position of enemy mis siles and planes would be in view on an illuminated map of North America fed by the Ballistic Missile Early Warn ing System and NORAD. Not Pushbutton War This would be no "push button war. That phrase overlooks the highly-skilled technicians needed to guide this complex, electronic sys tem in its deadly mission. This is what could be expected to happen if an enemy missile with a trajectory terminating on U.S. soil were identified on the illuminated map. There would be 15 to 20 minutes warning before it landed. Power and his staff would work from the balcony of the control room. The room is 140 feet long, 39 feet wide and 21 GROUND U BEEF J J 200,000 STAMPS TO BE GIVEN AWAY BY THRIFTY GREEN STAMP REPRESENTATIVES MtDFORD MAIL --27 I feet high. Opposite the bal- cony, giant panels, eight feet Iwide and 20 feet high, would show this country's war plans in maps and charts. Over a gold-colored telephone. Power would be in touch with the Joint War Room in the Penta gon. When the President gave the word, Power would be ready to give SAC's bombers, armed with nuclear weapons, the "Go" signal. In a room under the balcony is the Command Post. Here there are three consoles of communications con trols, "'.witches, blinking am ber lights and plastic push buttons. The consoles are waist high, ten or twelve feet long. On the senior Control ler's desk is a looseleaf book containing messages in code, prearranged to carry out any part or all of the war plan. But the code is incomplete and the order will not be execut ed unless it contains the miss ing part of the code. This is a peacetime precaution. High up on the wall is a red box, about 2 feet square. Its door always is unlocked. When the door is opened a Klaxon sounds throughout the Com mand Center. It contains the balance of the code needed to complete the "Go" message. Alerts Posts With the message ready, the Controller presses a read but ton beside a rod telephone. TRIBUNE.

RBl,SiDlV.BJ.UNADA This alerts 96 subordinate command posts across the Northern Hemisphere to stand by for an importat message. Over the phone, tne Control ler reads the message to the designated Posts. A similar red phone sits before Power on the balcony above. As the Controller reads the message, a member of his staff stands beside him monitoring the written and spoken words. making sure everything is done correctly and In accord ance with SAC procedures. The monitor is armed, not for protection against the enemy, but in order to enforce obedi ence if the lian on the phone should do anything at vari ance with the order he is transmitting. I In a larger room next to the Command Post, the computers are programmed to support the command and control function. They will summarize the results of the missions; they will make suggestions for the most effective positioning of groups of planes; they will analyze any deviations from the mission. They already con tain information on the status of SAC's forces, planes, crews' supplies, flight plans, the war plan itself, and can feed this information to the Command ers and the Controller as re quired. Sealed Off In time of war, this under ground Center would be sealed off. It is self-contained, with J its own supplies of food, water and air. If the Command Post were knocked out, which would require a near direct hit by a nuclear weapon, con i trol of the SAC force would be passed to an alternate Com mand Post or to an airborne Command Post which has been maintained in the air 24 hours a day since last Febru ary. It is commanded by a SAC general officer. The re lieving Command Post always takes off before the one on duty lands. These flying com munications centers can cut into tile SAC communications system and use it in an emer gency.

PickiiV Pears By WALTER TOWNSEND It was cold, fog and only partially light at the Salva tion Army Shelter at S a.m. when early arrivals began to gather at Easter sunrise serv ice the first that some had ever attended. The White City bus came in at 5:30 a.m. Chaplain John E. Frazee arrived with the men, and was at once invited to join in the Salvation Army services. He took his place at the small altar outside the front door of the Sh'elter. lo cated on Crews rd., near Med ford. It was dawn. And the organ recital had ceased. Capt. William Ricken of the Salavation Army called atten tion to the sun rising over the horizon, before he led the song, "He Lives." The audi ence, with backs to the sun, had filled the Salvation Army chairs. When Mrs. Bert Wenzel was asked to lead in prayer, the Lord's Prayer was repeated in unison as the sun rose. Chaplain Frazee of White City selected his scriptural read ing from John. All read to gether of the crucifixion, of the sepulcher, and of how Jesus rose again. Joined in Reading Standing under the porch of the Shelter, the chaplain of the domiciliary faced the sun as many members of the sun rise service joined him in the reading. Next Captain Ricken read "Up from the Grave He Arose." Men in the assembly of worshipers wore their hats be cause of the cold, after Chap lain Frazee had told them it would be all right. A cross of flowers stood on the organ as the singing con tinued and the sun rose high er and warmer. Richard Rick en, a small boy, gave a selec tion on cornet, accompanied by the Salvation Army organ ist. All around the grounds of the Shelter cars were park ed, and a large gathering, at the Shelter door heard Cap tain Ricken preach of Christ 1 Premium-Quality Tires with Twin Treads .' general j r'z:LT! rjrjzy m A Great High-Mileage Tire in the Low - The twin tread Nygen General Jet-Air gives you premium-quality protection and peace of mind at low, low prices.

"Why are we here?" Cap tain Ricken asked the con gregation at the beginning of his sermon. "We came to gether," he answered, "to worship Christ who rose again. "We can hear the birds and see the sun rise above the hill," the Salvation Army preacher said, as he closed his Easter Sunday message. Before going into the Shelt er, Mrs. Dorothy Smith, sang a solo at 6 a.m. Among guests from White City in the chilly air of sunrise service was Arthur Thompson, concert pianist. With prayer, Chaplain Fra zee brought the sunrise serv ice of White City's first at tendance to an end. Around the valley a blue rim of mountains came into full view of bright morning. It was time for breakfast. I "All guests from Camp White will be served first," it was announced. "Ana otner guests in second section," Captain Ricken said. Breakfast Served Florence Kelly and Mr. Richmond, working in the kitchen, were preparing food for the participants in the sunrise Easter service. At breakfast Mrs. Ricken was in charge of the dining room and kitchen. She served every body a huge helping of ham and eggs, with coffee being served by Mrs. Richmond and her daughter Gail.
