DEAR POLLY At one time ur another everyone wlio smokes has been caught wiUi a cigarette and no match or vice versa. After 1 buy a carton of cigarettes, I lake a book of matches, open the flap and ',aoe a piece of transparent gummed tape behind tlie row of matches and tape this book to ihe side of a pack of cigar ettes. The entire carton could be done in just a few minutes so matches are ready when needed. E.A.F. DEAR POLLY Do not throw away your little one's old train ing pants just because all the stretch is gone from the elas tic in the top. Cut open the side seams and taper to the child's size. Use safety pins or snaps to hold them in place just as you would a diaper. These are especially good for small chil dren just starting on training. Easy in and easy out NELLIE .' DEAR POLLY We have a fun way to help our school age children learn the spelling and meaning of new words. We put a magnetic alphabet blackboard on the kitchen wall. Every three or four days my husband places two of three new words on Uiis board. We discuss these words at mealtime, ask the children their interpretation and all discuss the real meaning of each word. Amazingly enough just Uio constant viewing of the words leaclics tho spelling. It is now quite a challenge to each of us to explore new words and is an enjoyable way to self teaching. MRS. K.W. GIRLS A good dictionary should he easily accessible in every heme. An acquaintance ff mine has a large dictionary, P. iririr i ' n i i iiiiimi open, on a small table brnath a funnel type wall light as a permanent arrangement in her family room. POLLY MOM; DEAR POLLY-I always liat ed U put a new zipper in pants until I hit on this method. Itip one side almost all the way down and pin the old zipper back the way it was sewed in. Then rip the rest of the way down. Now you have one side of the old one pinned the way tho new one should go. Do the same with lite oilier side. Bring on the new zipper and pin it in place just as the old one is pinned, releasing a pin on the old, tlien pinning in the new and so on. MRS. G E M. Glltl-S This would be a good method for the ot-tno-cxperl. enrrd seamstress to follow w hen replacing zippers in any gar ment.

UN Passes Resolution On Racism UNITED NATIONS, NY. i LTD The United States was committed today to take effec tive measures, within the bounds of tlie Constitution, to comply with a U.N. declaration calling for an end to all racial discrimination. Only South Africa objected Wednesday when the General Assembly approved by accla mation the declaration, which terms racial discrimination "an oifense to human dignity" that must be wiped out all over the world. Adlai Stevenson, U.S. ambas sador to tlie United Nations, registered American reserva tions, however, over a para graph of the declaration which asks member states to take im mediate measures to outlaw "organizations which promote or incite to racial discrimina tion." Stevenson said tlie promotion of ideas, including advocacy of racial discrimination, is pro tected in tlie United States as part of the basic freedom of speech. "For the benefit of those rep resentatives of countries which do nut have such constitutional protections," Stevenson said, "the struggle to establish free dom of speech, which is the foundation of all free political systems, was a long and bloody one and. having won that long, painful struggle for the freedom to speak and to print. . .we in the United States have no in tention of giving it up, or whit tling it down, even for such a good cause as this one.' Russia ridiculed this conten tion, maintaining that dedica tion to free speech was being used to cover up activities of racist organizations. k 1 1 V' MORE THAN HIS SHARE Tragedy has matured Troy Odom beyond his 10 years.

Worst Traffic Wreck In America' Matures Little 10-Year-Old Survivor MONT BELVIEU, Tex. ILPD Last Labor Day. Troy Odom was a traffic statistic. Today he is a towheaded youngster with a face full of freckles that almost conceal the scars. Troy is a shy 10-year-old and his pensive (ace reflects the tragedy that is listed in the record books as "worst traffic wreck in America, Labor Day, 1963." Ten persons died in that two oar collision at Dayton, a small town 40 miles east of Houston and only a few miles north of Troy's hometown of Mont Bel vieu. The wreck killed six mem bers of the Odom family, in cluding Troy's parents, h i s brother and sister and an aunt and uncle. Four persons died in the other car. Troy was badly torn. His jaw was shattered. His face was cut. There was lear of brain damage. Troy came out of it tlie man of the family. He had to make a man's decision and then try erase from his memory the tragedy. He had two sets of grand parents. He had to choose one to live with. He decided to live with his paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Mat Odom Sr. They live in Mont Belvieu. His maternal grandparents live away from the town he grew up in. Returns To School Troy went back to school. He adjusted well. His grandmother said, "He missed too much of this semes ter to get a report card, so when they came out his teach er just wrote us a note, 'He is doing real good.' "He dreaded to go back, you know. But after a while, he even started getting anxious for the school bus to come every morning." Troy's grandparents live a few miles out of town, and Troy has had to meet new neighbor hood friends. "There are some boys just across the fence," his grand mother said. "Troy jumps over every time he gets a chance and plays with them." "We took him triek-or-treat-ing on Halloween," she said. "His mother was so good to him that way, and I am trying very hard." Life has other delights for Troy. The Dayton mortician gave him a heifer calf that his grandparents keep in a pen be hind their rural home. Troy looks in on tlie calf often and helps his grandfather feed it. Remembers Accident Does he still think about the wreck? "He can talk about it now and K does not bother him loo much." Mrs. Odom said. "But he can still remember all the details, and when we go over that road he knows just where it was and can tell you every thing. Once he woke up at night and called. 'Mother,' and we think he must have been dreaming. "We go by the cemetery sometimes. The first time, we left him to go up to the graves alone. He went around and looked at all of them and came back and was crying. But he dried his tears and said to his grandfather, 'Thank you. Paw paw, for bringing me.' " Troy must go through even more grownup ordeals before he can once again be just a little boy in a little Texas town. There are more treatments to come, to make sure he suf fered no lasting physical or mental damage. Doctors must see whether plastic surgery is needed to erase the scar tissue that underlines one eyebrow and tugs at one side of his chin. Troy must experience the legal technicalities of insurance matters still to be cleared up.
