that when we loaned money to
ourselves in the fotnl of govern-

isposslble we will be in another
war within :12 months. 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.

NEWS
HANGAR-FLYING
By Kurt; Mann
The mere mentioning of a
"Breakfast Flight" at some dis-
tant airport, is like waving a red
flag at a bull. 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.
Rmnor has it that H. L. Alex-
ander has gone into the airplane
business. What's the dope on that

FEW FIXIN'S MAKES BACKYARD
PLAYGROUND FOR KIDDIES
With a few baekyard fixin's,
children of all ages will stay at
hoe and like it.
That positive statement comes
from Agnes McQuarrie of the
State College of Washington. And
here's how the extension recrea-
tip peclalist says families can
lmve fun at home--right in their
own backyard.
Whether the yard is large or
small, a little homemade equip-
ment will keep the children hap-
py--and handyhour s on end:
Ahd that goes for all the chin
drenwhether it's Tommy aged 3
or 4, Jane or Jim aged 8 or 9, or
teen-agers.
Sml-fry Tommy wtll amuse
llim, qelf right through the da.y if
ne lies a sandbox, a wading p0ol,
and lrtaterials from wlidh he can
fashion his own tby$. The sand.
bo; of course, should be covered
--either canvas or plyboard can
be used. AS for he wading pool,
tub 'or large dishpan filled vith
or 3 ifiches o water caa he
used to ser.v¢ tliis turpose. Emp-
ty spools, small bdx:es, afild twine
are the sttiff .that a small fry'

him build his own.

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. Jane

given a box of discarded
will conduct
mer theater right in the back-
yard.
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. (ASk your

emove Fruit Stains
y Water Treatment,
Glycerine; NO Soap
,'Some like 'ern hot and some
like 'era cold" is a saying that ap-
plies to fruit stains as well as
porridge.
some fruit stains will wash out
with b0il!ng water, but at least
four wi!l gLve way only to a cool-
water treatment. That 'n

Noyes, extension home manage-
ment specialist of the State Col-
lege of Wasllington.
Fresh peach, ear
P , cherry or
plum stains can be removed by
using cool water and glycerine or
a soapless shampoo. (Soap sets
the stain. And for these four
fruits, so does hot water. It
darkens and sets the tannin in
the juice.)

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'. (.h(,ek for the 1)rea-
l ence of wiKglers. If the s(mson is
] SolneWb:t advanced the adtllt
mosquit%.s may have :lh'eady
elt]ere(I. Ill tlmt cqse. spraying
will do 110 gee(1.
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.
On a Ramping trip, a. DDT acre..
sol bomb will keel) Lhe lent fre(
of mosquitoes. Just release the
pressure gauge frequently and let
the DDT "gas" out into the tent.
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.

Journalist or newspaper editor to
