Fortunately, it more I imaginative than that, It's DO- JNG SOMETHING about it For example: The financial page dispatch that fells of the need for MORE ORDERS for steel goes on lo gay: "U.S. Steel is trying to gel people to switch to KING SIZE BEDS in order lo increase sales of spring and mattress wire." Hmmmmmmmm. There's a thought there for the textile indust 17 which is report ed to be suffering from lack of orders enough to keep its plants operating at full capacity. How about a textile industry drive to induce the men to give up these skinny pants, which re quire relatively little cloth, and go back to the baggy pants of yesteryear which require a LOT of cloth? Truly imaginative thinking can conquer a lot of problems. Then There's the congress. H isn't just sitting on ils well known fanny and letting the world go by. It's DOING something. '. r instance: The congress has just passed and the President has signed into law a bill reducing the cabaret (night club, in these modem days) tax from 20 per cent to 10 per cent. Think of the possibilities for more and better business inher ent in that constructive achieve ment. You go dow n to Las Vegas and blow yourself to a good time. When, along in the wee small hours, your bill has come around, there has been a whopping 20 per cent tax tied onto it. Not any more! Thanks to a wise better-busi-ness-promoting congress, the tax has been reduced to 10 per cent. SO You have enough left In the ack to go back the next night and blow yourself to ANOTHER good time. The congress didn't stop there. It went on and enacted a bill (which the President has signed) reducing the cost of American- made bicycles TWO BITS APIECE by the simple device of repealing the hitherto existing tax on bicycle tires and tubes. Here's how that can work: You go nut and buy a bicycle. YOl' SAVE A QUARTER. If you will buy TWO bicycles, you can save four bits. If you go on and buy four bicycles, you can save a whole buck. The possibilities are limitless So, you see, we AREN'T in a bad way. If our wise and far leeing congress just goes on with ttls pattern It has set. we'll all toon be rolling in wealth. aside from supervisory lime." Frank Ganong, county commis. sioner, explained.

The program here would be conducted with the basic nrin-l ciple of expecting welfare recipi ents lo obtain work of their own as soon as it is possible.

His frank appraisal was con tained Friday in a long letter to Chilean students who had criti cized U.S. policies toward Cuba during Eisenhower's visit to Chile. The Eisenhower letter produced no immediate reaction in Cuba, but observers in Havana felt sure it would provoke a sharp note from Castro's government or a long television speech by the Prime Minister. The Chilean students had writ ten to Eisenhower that they thought the United States had cod dled Latin-American dictators and had not done enough to promote uciuuki nvj ciiiu utu-.ub ....... .... "Unfortunately." the President's letter said, "recent incidents in Cuba make it quite clear that it is dangerous for anyone there lo voice opinions which do not con form with the government policy." He said the United States has a standing policy of not interfer ing in Cuban internal affairs and that no administration official has ever made public statements un friendly toward Cuba or ils people.

The 9!i-monlh-old girl was brought lo the University of Ore gon Medical School Hospital Tues day when she contracted pneu monia and underwent the same kind of breathing troubles that al most took her life after the opera tion last year. As before, doctors slit an open ing in her throat and inserted a brealhing tube in an attempt to save her life, but she grew weaker anyway. She died at 6:30 a.m., more than five months after the separating operation. Her twin, Dcnctt, remains healthy at the farm home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Slubbleficld of Parma, Idaho.

(AP) Spring has come to everything and everyone in Ihe small waterfront town of Suquamish near here ex cept one small boy for whom lime stopped Sept. 23. There was no Halloween with its trick or treat, no Thanksgiving, no Christmas. And there is no pring for eight-year-old Douglas Church. Seven months ago. the youngest of the three sons of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Church pedaled in tha dusk for home on his bicycle. He slill hasn't gotten there. The fast-talking, mischievous boy ended his vide against the side of a truck. He s somewhere now inside a speechless, huddled figure in a bed in the living room of the Church house. And Ihe arms and hearts and 'souls of a mother, a father and two brothers reach out endlessly to find him and bring him all the way home. He cats now baby food, cot tage cheese, fruit juices, soup- after months of being fed through a tube. Six times a day, his mother patiently spoons food inlo the mouth that hasn't grinned at her fnr so very long. She props him in a chair in front of the television set and pravs that Ihe movement of his eyes means he is seeing the pic ture. She rubs his thin body with al cohol and tells herself that the guttural noise ho makes is an at tempt to say Ihe word "cold." She holds him in her arms and talks to him. When his father and his brothers, Ross, 12, and Ste ven. 10. come home at the end of the day, they talk to him. And at night they listen for a word, a sign. Outside the daffodils are bloom ing, the birds sing as they build their nests, the whole world comes awake. And Douglas Church sleeps on. Carillon Gift Is Dedicated WASHINGTON (AP) The inscription on the carillon tower says simply: From Ihe people of Ihe Netherlands to the people of . the United States. Therein lies the story of the Netherlands people and their queen who gathered their guilders in voluntary contributions to build n carillon in gratitude for Amer ican aid during and after World War It. The bells of the carillon rang out across the Potomac. River Friday for the first time from their new tower. The formal dedication won't be until May 5, the day when the Netherlands pcoplo w ill celebrate the liberation of their country 15 years ago from the Germans. At that lime the Netherlands will transfer the tower fbrmally to Secretary of the Interior Fred A. Scaton. Eight years ago the first ideas arose in the Netherlands to offer iho people of the United States a symbol of friendship and gratiy tude, and Queen Juliana endorse; il.
