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

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.

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.

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.
