I was merely doing a little spade work out o( curiosity. Every Kmc we get a wet winter like this the mice seem to move In on the lawns. And I was curious as to how much damage had been done under the loot or so ot snow that was still lying there on the north slope over the grass. It was pretty extensive. The 111 tl. him hiers had eaten up about m per cent of the grass, leaving only an occasional tult Jutting up here and there, like a long Juniper on the desert. These mice out our way are particular little fellows, too, eating only the tender roots and leaving the rest of the grass for me to clean off in the spring. Well, now I know. Mid that, reader, Is why I was out there shoveling. From neie on out I follow the tencnts of the late Hale Scarbrough: Nature brung It, let nature take It away The first robin of spring craze seems to have settled down a bit now. but we got a phone can iroin a Mr. L. J. Brink the other day that really had a portent of fair limes ahead. He reported that he f found a healthy growing dan delion In his lawn last Friday. He lives at 2360 Orchard. I have always known that dande lions were hardy Utile plants, able to resist all the various poisons and even living through a root amputation, but I didn't know they were foolhardy enough to come out Jn January. Which, for some reason or other, reminds us that a breath of the cold, cold North blew Into town the other day In the person of "Lit tle Batch" Blanch!, down from the frozen wastes of Fairbanks. He even brought a hint of the Frozen North with him In the form of a record he cut. "When The Ice Worms Nest Again" on one side and "The Squaws Along The Yukon'' on the other. Quite a Utile bit of musical whimsy. Available at Derby's. He'll be heading back in a month e-r so. driving. Ever since Uiey built that road up there I've In tended lo drive up. and see what the roadside scenery of Alaska looks like. So help me gosh land a little leniency from the publisher i and I'll take off this summer, I prefer the dust to the snow. the ocean. It 1 from this river I have hopes of beaver." The next entry In the lourns comes on "Wednesday 39th Nov. Course south to Ciammltt River, 3S miles from River of the Falls Mr. McKay proceeded ahead to an Indian village distant three miles It was composed of 30 tents built. on the water, surrounded oy wa tor. approachable only bv canoes, the tents built of large logs sbaped like block houses, the foundation stone of gravel made solid by piles sunk six feet deep. Their tent are constantly guarded. They regretted we had opened a communication from the mountains they said 'the Ncz Perces have made different attempts to reach our village but could not succeed. Even last sum mer we discovered a war party of Cayouse and Nez Perces In searcn for us; but they did not find us. Now they will have your road to follow. We have no firearms. Still we fear them not.' They are well provided with bows and arrows. they have only one horse. Snow Is so deep, horses perish for want of food. In winter, they live on roots. In summer, antelope and fish." J'ir.sl HorM' By KEN McLEOD As one looks back upon a child hood education of three or four decades ago there Is a lasting Im pression about Indian Hie In re spect to the Indian and his horse, the two scein one and inseparable. So common a thing It was for In dians to possess horses that even the early pioneer seldom made a reference to them except as some unusual occasion brought the ani mal Into the subject of conversa tion. As a youngster then, we were never told that there was a time when the Indian was strictly a pedestrian. Perhaps some one dtd mention the fact that the horse came from Spain to the Indian but that fact In a child's mind was something like the beginning, of tune, m reality, the event was quite recent as we now begin to visual ize the pa.sap.o ol time. We now understand that it was not until about 1730 when the horse reached the Columbia River coun try in Orciion alter having first reached the upper watershed of the Snake Hi Idaho around 1100. In California, the horse reached Uie northern sect inn ol the San Joaquin Valley by 1115. apparently a much Inter dale than upon the Columbia Thus we have a gap ol some 45 years in which the knowledge ol the horse must have come to the Klanuilh Luke people. The record ol such dales comes down to Us from remarks and records of the Ileefy Ituteher By EDWIN SHANKE For Hal Boyle LONDON 11 A beefy butcher Is bucking the bummarees of Lon don's big wholesale meat market and his fight has stirred up a na tionwide stew. Six footer David Durrani, a 41- year-old butcher and owner of two shops, has challenged ' Britain's largest union, the Transport and General Workers (TOWU). And the bummarees? That's a quaint old English nick name for the 600 licensed porters all TOWU members at Smlthfleld Market who lug the heavy sides of beef from the wholesalers' counters to the retail ers' trucks. Durrant says he Is lighting for the right to carry the meat him self and pass the saving In port ers' fees to his customers. At a time of rising food prices, that's popular with the housewives. But the bummarees Insist they alone are entitled to do the toting and they threaten a strike should the butcher ultimately win. 'No one will take any meat away from the market except a licensed porter." declares their spokesman, John Spencer Tribe, styled the "king of Smlthfleld." Durrant opened his fight by win ning a court test case. But when he tried to exercise his new-won legal rlnht to haul his own meat wholesalers fearing a strike refused to sell him supplies. So he was forced to use Ihe porters. The butcher claims he navs on Ihe average to t pounds ($14 to 110.8") weekly to porters to carry his meat and that it adds a penny a pound to his shop price of meat. Kciaii meat traders have backed Durrant, appealing to the Lord Mayor of the City of London to Intervene. The city owns the mar ket, the wholesalers are Its ten ants and it licenses the bumma rees. The 11,000-strong NatlonalUnlon of Small Shopkeepers also pledged Durrant its support. President Tom Lvnch said "the first duty of wholesalers Is to their retail cus tomers and not to powerful trade unions." When he handed down his ver dict in favor of Durrant, Judge bicck criticized Tribe for trying to enlorce a monopoly "which would obviously have the effect of Increasing prices to housewives." lie estimated Smlthfleld porters earned 2 pounds 70 a week. i nc union countered that the basic wage for some 600 porters was about 10 pounds Ui8i a week and that the olher 100 averaged be tween 13 and 14 pounds t$36.40 to san.soi. A TOWU blanch official at Smlthfleld declared the union would take whatever action was necessary "to preserve the. liveli hood oT the members we repre sent." Housewives belonging to the London Housewives Assn. staged a march on Smllhlleld "to orotest against tyranny and the victimiza tion ol housewives by the bummarees." I American people safely through a I great war and preparing their de fense against tne piospccv i another. His performance in office tended to conlirm that feeling of trust. The President revealed himself as a man Intensely dedicated to the preservation of peace, the cause most Americans wanted to see served with full devotion. In the domestic realm, his tenure waa linked first with a moderate economic decline and then with a resurgence that carried the na tion to new peaks of prosperity. Here again, the great majority ol Americans appeared Inclined to credit him with striving earnestly to better their lot in life. Almost beyond these things, Americans came to view Mr. Ei senhower as a man of such In nate sincerity and decency that he has stamped the fresh Imprint of these qualities on the country's public life. He has quieted, If he has not stilled, the angry currents being stirred by the extremists when he assumed the presidency. The tenor of public discussion is calmer, and there Is more unity in Ihe United States than In many a day. His critics In his own party think he has been too much a Democrat. His Democratic adver saries think or say he has beneilted from the "Illusion" rath er than the fact of peace and prosperity. If President Elsenhower should decide to run for a second term, those who would prove Ihese cir cumstances "Illusory" have their work cut out for them. For most people show no signs today of doubting the substance of these favorable conditions. They have watched the Presi dent for three years. And they like what they have seen. early trappers, explorers and mis sionaries. Thus exact dales are!

JORDAN, M.D. Few diseases today are receiv ing the intense study being given to rheumatoid arthritis. This dis ease is responsible for an enor mous amount of suffering and economlo loss. It is undoubtedly the most serious variety of Joint disease (exclusive of rheumatic fe ver). Rheumatoid arthritis Involves, at first, the delicate lining around the Joints called the synovial membrane. This membrane be comes inflamed and thickened and fluid accumulates Inside the Joint cavity. Generally, the swelling is slight at the beginning and the pain and stiffness Is not too severe. A recently announced diagnostic test for rheumatoid arthritis may prove a boon In enabling early diagnosis and hence earlier treat ment. The wrists, the ankles, the mid dle joints of the fingers and the knees are the joints where rheuma toid arthritis Is most likely to strike first. Unlike rheumatic fever, once a joint has become Involved with swelling, the symptoms are unlikely to disappear entirely from that Joint for some time. Eventual ly, If the Inflammation of the syn ovial membrane docs not subside the cartilage between the Joints may be destroyed and result in an immovable Joint, but this is only a late stage of the disease and fre quently la missed entirely. What can be done for this great crlppler? A good many treat ments are available now. And re search, Including that supported by the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation, may be expected to result in greater knowledge of the causes and prevention as well as the treatrnent of rheumatoid arth ritis. The proper balance between rest and exercise Is considered Impor tant. Simple remedies to relieve the discomfort, providing they are not habit forming, are widely used the most popular is undoubtedly aspirin. Many sufferers from rheumatoid arthritis have a tendency to ane mia so that they may need iron preparations or even blood trans fusions. Generally, the diet is mere ly designed to supply sufficient nutrient material Including vita mins but most doctors working In the field do not believe that diet has any specific effects on the disease. Among other measures of treat ment are physical therapy, includ ing heat, massage, and special exercises. Preparations containing gold given by Injection have been widely used for patients with rheu matoid arthritis. Considerable pro gress In developing suitable Rold preparations and dosage schedules have been made In the last tew years so that there are not as many toxic reactions to gold prep arations as there used to be. Cer tainly some seem to have benefited greatly from this method of treatment. Although most readers are famil iar with use of cortisone and ACTH in rheumatoid arthritis, it should be emphasized again that while Ihese substances often bring sud den and dramatic relief from symptoms the good results are too often of short duration and these preparations, therefore, have not answered all the questions on the treatment. One of the best summaries ol Ihe present situation with regard to treatment was made not long ago by Dr. Freyberg: "Manv dtl ferent kinds o( treatments have been tried. Many have been found to be completely valueless and have been discarded: some have been valuable and their use has been continued. New forms ol treatment are appearing con stantly and their values are being tested and defined " Besides learning more effective treatments, we n e d to know more about cause and prevention. Change Of Mind By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON WV One of the best ways to get a headache is to try to figure out particularly since President Elsenhower says he hasn't made up his own mind whether he will run again. Anyone who reads the Eisenhow er record back to 1946 will find even when he does take a position that what he said yesterday is not necessarily what he will say tomorrow. In fact, he has often done the opposite. Here are some examples: Sept. 28, 1946 he said there was "no possibility ol my ever being connected with any political of fice." Dec. 31, 1946 He said "a man with no party affiliations could not even discuss running for president or the United States.' (Up to that time had never voted, according to a statement he made in 1946. Then he voted three times. 1948, 1949, and 19S0 and so could refer In 1993 to "my Republican voting record".) Sept. 11. 1947 He said. "I will have nothing to do with partisan pontics. Jl is my conviction that no man who has spent his life as a professional soldier should enter partisan politics or seek elec tive office." Several times more in 1947 he said he wanted nothing to do with pontics. But wnen his name was entered in the New Hampshire Re publican presidentlsl primary in January 1948 he kept quiet for some days. Then on Jan. 33. 1948, he said. "I am not available for and could not accept nomination to high po litical office ... My decision to remove myself completely from the political scene is definite and positive." That killed the Eisen hower boom Just getting started. his name was withdrawn from the primary. In 1952, when his name was again entered in the New Hamp shire primary, he had 10 days in which to say whether he wanted it withdrawn. He kept silent. His name stayed In and he beat the late Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio in the primary votet This year his name was entered In Uie New Hampshire primary and at nis news conference last week he neither said he approved nor disapproved. So his name stays in. July 5, 1948 He said he "could not accept nomination tor anv Dub He office." But he seemed to leave the door open lor the future for he added: "I will not at this time Identify myself with any political party." From December 1949 lo Decem ber 1950 he was president of Col umbia University. Then former President Truman made him su preme commander of the North Atlantic Treaty forces In Europe, By the fell of 1951 Republican politicians began to express pub licly belief he'd run for president in 1952. Elsenhower-for-president clubs started to form. On Jan. 7, 1952, Elsenhower ssid he was a Repub lican ana if nominated by the Re publican convention that year he would feel obliged to accept It as a "duty that would transcend my present responsibility" as supreme commander in Europe. But he emphasized that under "no circumstances" would he ask to be relieved of his post abroad to seek the nomination itself. And he added: "I shall not participate in the preconvention activities of others who may have such an In tention with respect to me." ' March 10, 1952 he said, "In the absence of a compelling call or relief by higher authority, I can not see In any personal or political circumstance a sufficient warrant for me to leave this assignment during the immedlale future." April 2, 1952 He wrote the de fence department, asking to be allowed to return home by June. Truman granted the request May 20, 1952 he said, "I aspire to no public office in the United Slates." May 30. 1952 he said he still would not actively campaign for the Republican nomination. The same day. May 30. his campaign headquarters said the head of ev ery state delegation to the Repub llcan convention had been invited to call on Elsenhower to leam his views. June 1. 1952 He returned home, June 4. 1952 In a speech at Abi lene. Kan., he made a slashing attack on the Democrats. There after he was in up to his neck seeking the Republican nomina tion.

Southern Pacific Announces Employe Educational Plans Southern Pacific announced that it Is enlarging Its employe and of ficer training program to give col lege training to a substantial num ber of its people who have shown initiative and ability. SP says its education plan has been worked out with various col leges and universities along Its lines, and is an extension of tne pilot effort which has been car ried on for the past several years. The college work, according to D. J. Russell, the railroad's presi dent, would Involve one semester of classes in some cases, one month short courses In the summer lor others, and, In a few cases, one year of training. He said the plan Is another step in a comprehensive program for the over-all development of South ern Pacific personnel. The one-semester courses, kus- sell explained, will serve to broad en the background and experience of younger SP people who have demonstrated ability. The one-year courses will be for a few who have not quite completed their work towards a college degree. The one- month courses will give specialized training in the problems of trans portation management and will be for a somewhat higher level of middle management people. "We think this educational pro gram is a sound investment In the future of our company," Russell declared. "We are happy of course, to be able to give more education to some of our people, but the primary purpose also rep resents a hard-headed business effort. "The younger men who will take these courses, many of them junior executives, are those who have al ready demonstrated their initiative and ability as well as their Interest in the railroad," he said. "We are striving, of course, to get more college trained men to come into the railroad, but Uie men we are sending to college now are men who have given tangible evidence that they are intent on making railroading a career." An initial group of 31 Southern Pacific people have been enrolled at eight colleges and universities for the semester just starting, Rus sell said. Colleges participating are University of California at Berke ley, the University of San Fran cisco, San Francisco State College, Stanford University, the University of Santa Clara (Calif.), San Jose (Calif.) State College, the Univer sity of Southern California and the University of Houston. The men will take regular col lege level courses designed to broaden their understanding of American society and Its institu tions. SP is seeking liberal educa tion for these men, Russell said, rather than technical training for specific positions. A few of the men who have sub stantial credit toward a degree will attend some ot the cooperating col leges for one year. Southern Pacific hopes that these men will be able to complete their degree before returning to their company duties. SP is paying the full expenses of the men and will continue their salaries during the time they will atend college. The rail president developed the program in consultation with edu cators and expressed his apprecia tion for the "ready cooperation of already busy colleges and universities." P.T.A.
