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

early grades. 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.

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

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.

With the message ready, the
Controller presses a read but

Over the phone, tne Control

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

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

who was crucified and on the
third day rose again.
"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

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
