Those early day settlers le'w the rest of us much in their debt and it is no raore than right that we should have tl feeling of appreciation and rpeoqlition for What they ac- coniplished throllgh the many bardsl|ips to make possible to- day's present modern development. g r|HE i)eople of the United States 1 have reached a point wlere they must face facts. We have ben taught to look ripen our country as a land of inexhaustible resources. We llave lived in sort of a dremn world! created by our own wishful thinkblg I. We hve been told by st-called cconomL,ts th:tt wages conld be raised al- mo,t indefinitely witllout an in- crease in ihc cost of loving. Ve }lave been told that we could go in debt almost indefinitely, on the. the(Yry tlmt when government harrowed from the people it wan not really a debt because the pea. ple merely owed the money to themselves. Now we face the F'rakenstein we have built. We have found that more wages for less production per man rttises prices enormously. We have found that when we loaned money to ourselves in the fotnl of govern- ment bonds, interest on that mon- ey has to he collected in taxes and paid to ourselves---this in turn adds greatly to the cost of living.

There is only one way the people of the United States (:an save them- selves. As workers we must learn that an increased income can only be made permanent through in- creased production pet' man; we must learn that only by work and saving and economy can we main- tain a solvent government, i.e.. save the money we have "loaned" to ourselves. It makes no differ- ence whether we allow extrava- gance hl govcrlunent of extrava- gance in our .familieseither will destroy our savings and capital. We must all learn' tlmt in a world economy largely devoted to a race for military supremacy and to lhe quickest and most efficient means for destroying the human r'aee. we must be peepared to pro- tect ourselves. Today, we are like a. giant who has become soft due to his own excesses. Unless we correct our metimd of living, we are simply inviting trouble. We have had our waruing. We have seen the inevitable results Of pol- icies we have pursued. Are we intelligent enough to correct ottr errors ? • EARINGS now under way be- fore the house armed, services committee should help to clear away some of the fog that has grathered around the argument over universal military training. lhen we take away the fog, we ought to be able to see that our choice is not to decide whether we like the idea of universal military training, or whether it would re- quire some readjustment in homes and schools, or even whether it would invoh,e great expenditures of time and money wllieh we would rather use for something else. In the world as it is today, our only question iS this: Is U- versal training a necessity, or can we get along safely without it? To decide this, weight must he of the given to the testimony people who know. Almost invar- iably, they have said that univer- sal training is a necessity. The latest to add his voice is Dr. Karl Compton, president of the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology and chairmm of President Tru- man's special commission on uni- versal training. He knows the conditions of modern warfare, in- cluding the atomic situatiofi. Dr. Compton says it all in a sentence in his appearance before the house armed services committee: "We'll need trained men and we'll need them fast." What Dr. Campion means is that we'll not have a yea]" or two years next time to get ready while England and France, or England alone, holds the thin line. Unless we are prepared, there will be Bataans, not in the Philippines but all over this coun- try. This is not our guess or any other layman's guess. It is the considered judgment of men clos- est to the whole situation and technically qualified to reach a sound conclusion. We mean the Marshalls, Eisenhowers, Camp- tons, and the rest America, in- cluding its congress, has listeaed too long to those ministers and general educators who are,,ot qualified to decide but who Wht to discuss what they'd like, We had better begin to listen to the men Who know--men who are willing to discuss the question of necessity. is for Americanism--for the system that has made it possible foi: every man to improve his condition and enabled the great masses of our people to achieve th'e highest level of economic equality nd freedom ever attained in the world's history. t ts for Be:tterment---the opportunity of every man, through his own work or hls money, to earn and make a profit, and to acquire and own property--.to improve the condition of himself and family. is for Co-operation--between neighbor and neighb--between labor and capitalbetween everyone who can accompish more by working together than either could, separately. Members of the Washington Co-op want freedom both of competition and Of co.operation. They want.to live under the American system that has give6 these liberties and want their children to continue to enjoy them. They want their Government to safeguard these freedoms, not to lessen or destroy them. ttA w  , , , .

Someone yery cus- ually mentioned such an event was being held at Ellensburg this past Sunday meriting, and tile re- sult was that twelve hirplanes took off from the local airport, each plane loaded to all the traf- fic would bear. Thirty-one local fliers registered at Ellensburg, mad after on enor- mous breakfast, were witnesses to a rodeo, plus a wonderful air show. The trip over the nmuntains was certainly beautiful, and even O1' Man Rainier obliged us by moving over just a little to let us get by. Another group of locals wile have been "stung by the flying bug," started their flight train- ing Monday and soon will be among the proud holders of a Private Pilots Ticket. A party was held last Tuesday at Dusty Rhodes' in honor of the last graduating class. Dancing and refreshments were enjoyed by an attendance of approximately 75 fliers and enthusiasts. Add Up-drfts The list of local owners of air- planes is increasing rapidly, Re- cent additions have been Gene Rauchert and W!lly Sharpe, who now owns a Fairchild 24, Frank Gratzinger, a Fairchild P.T. 26, Jack and Mark Chimnn and Slim Cox are in co-ownership of a Fair- child P.T. 26, and Jack Howard has a Ryan P.T. 22.

That positive statement comes from Agnes McQuarrie of the State College of Washington.

Jane, aged 8 to 12, would be tickled pink with a playhouse home of her owna real piny:, hobe--and not just a corner of the yard. Playhouses 'can be made out of piano or refrigerator cratesand given their own spec- ial spot in the backyard. A little point and a little extra duty for Dad with hammer and saw is all tlmt's necessary to make the crate homelike with windows and doors and a real floor of course.

As for ,the teen-agers, or co-ed group, they'll make ,their own play equipment. Just give them a few suggestions and a little encourage- merit. A croquet set can be made at little cost. Stout wire for the wickets and lengths of circular wood ar the materials needed. Some lumber yards have strips of circular wood in 3-Inch diameter for the mallets, and three-quarter inch diameter for the handles. With a little help from Dad the teen-agers can whip up a croquet set from these materials in almost nothing flat. For teen-agers, a gmne table is almOSt a "must." A good-sized ta- ble, measuring about 5 by 9 feet is best. They'll be glad to make it too--with a little supervision from Dad and assistmce in select- ing the right building material. Tlae table should be painted, of course, to prevent warping. And it can be used for backward meals as well as for ping-pong, checkers, dominoes, chess, or cards. Along with that table, a back- yard fireplace is another bit f seen-age equipment that the en- tire (am fly em enjoy.

Insect Serenade Out the Window By Use of DDT The mosquito serenade is back again. Washington families who don't like this brand of mu,ic. don't have to put up with it. They can get some DDT, and spray. And here're directions for deal- ing out that spray where it'll do the most good--or the most harm, at least as far as the mosquitoes are concerned. They're passed along by David Brannon. extension entomologist of tbe State College of Washington. Get off to a good start by buy- ing the right kind of spray ma- terials. You'll need two differ- ent kinds. For spraying inside the house, use 5 per cent DDT in deodorized kerosene. You'll need another spray for the outside, so get the 50 per cent wettable-type DDT for that. And in mixing the spray, use ,..' pound of DDT to one gallon of water. When you spray inside the house, be sure to hit all the spots where mosquitoes may be hidinK. Spray screens, window sills, dark corners, under and behind furni- ture, and in all closets, of course. The spray will leave a deposit wherever it hits so it will continue to give effective control for about a month. Before spraying' inside the house, remembcr to see that all food is covered, also all flow- ers. And---take out the goldfish and pets. The 5 per cent DDT in deodorized kerosene will not stain wallpaper, curtains or rugs if you use a highgrade spray. Cheek the label for the statement ,"will not stain." Get rid of tim mosquitoes around the house and in the yard by spraying all porches, flower gar- dens and shrubbery, and trees wherever you can. Use the wet- table-type DDT for this. Give the yard a good onceover for possible breeding spots. Drain puddles and turn tin cans and tire casings so water can't collect in them. If there are any small streams around, clear out the channel to keep the water flow- ing freely. Protection just within the house and yard isn't enough. The wind can carry mosquitoes for a dis- , tance of 20 miles ore more. So check the whole farm for possible breeding places. Large puddles that can't be f or watering purposes--and whioh have no fish in them---can also be Sl)rayed. Usltally only th(, shore- line need be sprayed. ]3efore sl)ray- inff, Ilowevo'.

To keep mosquitoes at bay Ol-i picnics, lrannoll suggests the use of a repellent-- suci as Rutger's 612.-.rubbed on the exposed skin. Such solutions can llsually be bought at the local drug store.

A fishernlHn in a canoe will probably have to depend (m a good strong pipe or cgar to keep mosquitoes away--or a repellent like Rutgers 6:12, Brannon said. Warren G.
