(UPI) Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS (Reaistar and THbuna Syndicate 1962) Lost Sheep Almost Sum To Work at Galling Lost It's easy to understand why the expression "Utile lost snerp" is so poignantly sym bolic of abject forlornncss and hnpless bewilderment. One of the easiest actions sheep accomplishes is the "get Inst." He even seems to work al it and very successfully. "Having the wool pulled over lis eyes" would appear to be a condition inherent in these animals. Like anls, termites or honey bees, the sheep Is real ly a snrial animal. As long us It is a member of a flock, either large or small, it is reasnniiblv content. Bui, by lis own blundering Inatten tion to the presence of others, II is pretty apt to wander away from the group, and Is immediately in deep trouble. Being naturally short sighted and characteristically thoughtless. It will get lost and remain lost even when the flock, of which It wants desperately to he a member, is actually within sight. It will stand Mid h-a-a-ah piti fully, instead of trying to re join the others or returning to the sheep-fold, Neod Guarding Kcraiise they can and do necnine so frequently lost and so blind in only following in stead of leading, most folks i hum Hie sheep is very stu pid. Inn dumb, in fact, even tn survive unless constantly guarded and protected. 'l'lii' sheep lives up to this following his own foggy im pulses. This rather dumb Inclina tlonal ways to be a blind fol lower rather than a leader gets the individual sheep in all kinds of trouble; trouble becomes almost a way of life. Even as a group, a flock of sheep will mill around near a hole In a fence, each one waiting for one of the others to be the first to go through. Finally one will take the ini tiative and dash Into the open ing. Then regardless of what happens to be on the other side, all the flock will dash in as though tickled to death the decision wns made. Deep Trouble If one of the tHrdy ones happens to miss the opening, which one or more usually will, then he Is In deep trou ble. He becomes hopelessly lost, confused and hewildered. This, loo, would seem the normal state of affairs. It's really a little palhellc how a flock of sheep will fol low a hellweather, usually a male sheep wearing a hell, into any place - even the slaughter pen. This example of implicit faith and misplaced trust makes the driving ol sheep an easy task, but it dnc not speak very highly of the animal's Intelligence. It might better he "lost." And, sadly enough, a lost sheep remains Inst; it will hardly make a reasonable ef fort to gel "un-lost," Perhaps, after nil, the sheep really Isn't so dumb as it acts. It may be weeks ago one of our great weekly organs of public opin ion stated flatly that about all the President had been able to get through Congress had been appropriations for state and defense." Salinger said that by the time Congress adjourns it will have passed almost 70 per cent of the President's re quested legislation. He said accomplishments of Congress included the first major housing bill in 11 years, the trade bill, establishment of the Peace Corps, authoriza tion of the Alliance for Prog ress, passage of the United Nations bond issue and cre ation of the communications satellite corporation. Few Blamed It Referring to the "myth of the anti-business administra tion." Salinger said that "even at the height of all the stories about how the administration was abusing business, a Gallup poll showed that only IB per cent of businessmen them selves believed it." "President Ken nedy," he I said, "believes that a healthy climate for business is good for the entire country. We have allempted to create that climate " Salinger said that "perhaps the press is getting too sensi tive for its own good." "The press is a powerful and great enough institution tn withstand criticism," he said. "So is the Presidency. We can both live with con structive criticism without sensitivity. But let us not he afraid to talk back to each oilier." Salinger was introduced by UPI While House Reporter Merriman Smith. NucUar Physicist Speaks Other speakers at the clos ing day of the two-day meet ing were Dr. Edward Teller, nuclear physicist; Edward V. Rickenbacker, World War I flying hero and board chair man of Eastern Air Lines, and Adm. Harry D. Felt, Com mander of U.S. Forces in the Pacific. A. Minis Thnmasnn, UPI president, announced that the Ifhi.t national conference would be held In Chicago. new York Slate Council of Retail Merchants meeting, Mr. Zclomck said that he sees at least a 3 sales rise over last year. His indicators for a high Christmas volume include: an all-time high average family income, the sound cash position of the public, the fact that installment debt is not abnormal.

Actual overall length of the new F-85 has been increased only 4 inches while the maneuverability of its 112-inch wheelbase has been retained.
