With the death of a pedestrian Siturday, the record so far this e vear stands at fifteen dead — one short of 19l's’ record, and two short of Pontiac’s worst year for traffic fatalines, 1950. And with dangerous holiday traffic still in store, police of- ficials feared that either record might be reached by Jan. 1. Statistics leaped during Novem ber, when three persons were killed in aeeidentsmaking that— ee = month the worst for traffic fatali- ties this year. Seventy - three other persons were injured, most of them severe- ly. as icy streets began to take their annual toll. In all, 131 acci- dents occurred. A compariven shows that dur- ing November, 1954, only 89 ac- cidents occurred. A summary is- sued by the Pontiac Police Traf- fie and Safety Bureau states that in these accidents, only 33. per- sons were injured and no one was killed. The total number of accidents is slightly lower so far this vear than it was through November, 1954 according to the summary. But there have been nine more deaths and 89 more persons in- jured in accidents this year than last year.

Reds Stir Trouble
Fresh outbreaks of violence on the
border between Israel and Syria give
concrete evidence that the efforts of
Russian agents to stir up trouble
once more are bearing fruit. This 1s
part of the cold war.
x x *
Wars weaken nations, and weak
nations are easier to overrun. Also,
impoverished governments are more
easily undermined. Hungry people
fall more easily for the alluring
promises that are whispered by secret
Communist agents.
Russia doesn't have to go to
war herself so long as she can stir
up war between other nations.
That is one reason why she is
happy to provide arms for the
Arab nations.
There is good reason to hope that
no big war will develop out of the
very strained relations that now exist
in the Middle East. But even a little
war is apt to prove a boon for Mos-
cow. That is why the Western Nations
are watching developments along the
River Jordan so intently.

It is tragic that as the birthday of
the Christ Child nears, the terrible
scourge of war threatens the land

Lawmakers Should 0.K.
Retarded Child Plan
Once again our old friend Compro-
mise has come to the rescue.
The result is a plan which, if ap-
proved by the Legislature, gives
promise of solving for a year at least
the problem of caring for Michigan's
mentally retarded children.
Like all compromises, that
worked out by the veteran Re-
publican Sen. Porter with House
Democrats and Republicans and
representatives of the Executive
branch, leaves some persons dis-
appointed. Nonetheless, the plan
as it will be presented to the law-
makers provides 1,500 beds for
1,250 children on state hospital
waiting lists.
‘ * * *
Of these 110 to 150 will be placed
in the Farmington Children's Hos-
pital on a contract basis after Jan-
uary 1. Another 800 will be located
at Fort Custer Station Hospital, 100
will be placed in private hospitals,
100 in boarding homes and 350 at
the Mt. Pleasant and Coldwater
Schools.
As Sen. Porter, chairman of the
Appropriations Committee, has
emphasized, the compromise pro-
posal upholds the Senate position.
That is that the State should not
buy or lease hospital space which
would interfere with a long range
solution of the mentally retarded
child problem.
wk OU *
Not only does the plan offer tem-
porary solution but provides a year
for the perfecting of a long range
program. As such we believe it de-
serves the Legislature's endersement
and Governor WILLIAMS’ signature.
Both-Food and Sport
For hunters who have annual argu-
ments with their wives over the ex-
pense of their hunting trips, some
eloquent support has come from the
State Conservation Department.
There always-has been general
agreement that hunting is a
healthful outdoor sport. Now
comes the department with con-
’ vineing statistics proving that it
' yields meat and hides worth more
than $9,425,000 a year.
xk 6 ®t * .
In 1954, for example, a total of
6,000 of edible meat was har-
vested by hunters and trappers. Fig-
J iy § tinee aRG san eV Din at cel prance taretR, o tae
wring it at 75 cents a pound for the
choice cuts and 25 cents for less desir-
able ones, the department says
this meat was worth more than
$8,250,000. Pelts of these game ani-
mals were valued at an additional
$1,175,000.
Last year Michigan hunters bagged
4,671,000 pounds of venison valued
at $3,500,000. Other important crops
were the $1,600,000 worth of pheasant
meat and $1,400,000 worth of rabbit
meat.
* * *
Besides all this, don’t forget
the splendid support our hun-
dreds of thousands of hunters
give Michigan’s great tourist in-
dustry. Their contributions go
a long way toward helping make
this industry rank third only be-
hind automobiles and agricul-
ture.
A State resource that can be
counted in millions of dollars a year
has importance no one can ignore.
Caution Urged
in Buying Toys
‘The State Health Department re-
cently warned parents to think twice
before buying Christmas toys. The
safety angle and whether toys are
completely safe should be considered.
Dr. ALBERT E. Heustis, state
health commissioner, said some
apparently harmless toys may be
deadly. An example, he said, may
be a toy coated with a lead base
paint. By chewing on it a child
can contact lead poisoning.
Following are a few points to be
considered in picking out safe toys:
A child under three shouldn’t be given
stuffed animals with button eyes
which can be twisted off and swal-
lowed; toys with sharp, pointed or
rough edges should be avoided and
youngsters under three should not
receive toys with small removable
parts.

Ike’s Attitude Toward Public Service
Will Determine His Campaign Decision WASHINGTON—What is Dwight
Eisenhower's basic attitude toward
public service—is it the health and
convenience of an individual or
the needs of one’s country which
must be even SUS
This question was once answered
by Eisenhower in an episode that
various persons in Washington are
talking about now because it may
throw light on the. processes of
the President's mind wher. he
comes to the point of making a de-
cision next year on whether or not
to serve a second time.
It happened in 1942 when CGen-
eral Eisenhower was in London
preparing for the invasion of
North Africa. He had as chief
of staff of the Allied forces Wal-
ter Bedell Smith, then a briga-
dier general. The latter had
served in Washington as secre-
tary of the U.S. joint chiefs of
staff and also as U.S. secretary
of the combined chiefs of staff.
When General Smith came to
London in October 1942, he took
on a series of heavy conferences
daily and, after one of these ses-
sions, Winston Churchill warned
General Eisenhower that General
Smith was not looking well and
ought to be sent to the hospital.
It was not long afterward that the
chief surgeon, General Hawley,
told General Eisenhower that Gen-
eral Smith had bleeding ulcers and
that, unless he was sent home,
General Smith “might be dead in
six months.”
STAYED ON THE JOB
“There'll be a lot of people dead
in six months—in North Africa and
in other places,”" was General
Eisenhower's reply. as he turned
down the suggestion. General
Smith, after two weeks of hospital-
ization, went to serve as Ike's chief
of staff for nearly four years un-
til after the end of the war. He
later was for three years U.S. am-
bassador to Russia and then be-
came head of the CIA and sub-
sequently undersecretary of state.
He is now an executive in private
business.
There was in this instance,
moreover, an intimate friend-
ship which night have induced
greater personal concern about
the risks involved, but Dwight
Eisenhower's point of View has
always been that the needs of
the United States come first.
It is true that the incident oc-
curred during wartime, but the way ©
things shape up today inside the
zovernment—with the Navy and
the Air Force constantly on a 2+
hour-alert basis—it is well known
that the “cold war’ is considered
in some respects as dangerous as
some stages of a-“hot war.
Many close observers of Eisen-
hower’s whole attitude toward
public service now are saying
that, if the country really wants
him to serve on, a sense of duty
will persuade him to do so.
President Elsenhower’s heart
attack hasn’t affected his mental
capacity or acumen. Officials
who have attended recent con-
ferences with him, both of the
cabinet and the National Se-
curity Council, say that he is
even sharper than before in cut-
ting through lengthy debate or
rambling remarks and bringing
his conferees back to the main
point under discussion.
Representative Clarence Cannon.
IVE BEEN THINKING DEAR. JUNIOR _
DOES TAKE pile acer! we Democrat of Missouri, chairman
of the House Appropriations Com-
mittee, said after a_ legislative
conference at the White House
this week: “I was gratified to note
the aggressiveness of the Presi-
dent in conducting the conference.
He was as active as any boy 16
years old. He was the picture of
health.”’
Ed Ld *
It was Woodrow Wilson who in a
world crisis in 1916—before Amer-
ica entered World War I—refrained
from “seeking a second term in
the presidency. He stood by his
statement made as president-elect in Eebruary 1913. when he wrote:
“IT can approach the question
from a perfectly impersonal point
of view, because I shall most
cheerfully abide by the judgment
of my party and the public as to
whether I shall be a candidate for
the presidency again in 1916. I
absolutely pledge myself to resort
to nothing but public opinion to
decide that question.”
s * *
Maybe history will repeat itself,
and the people themselves will
have to decide whether Eisenhower
should be renominated.

U. S. Farmers’ Problems
Affect Business, Politics
By MERRYLE RUKEYSER
INS Economic Commentator
The fact that the farmer is out
of step during the current business
boom casts its shadow across com-
ing events.
LJ ° =
On the business side, it raises
the question as to whether the
imbalance between industry and
agriculture will impair prosperity.
Politically, the Democrats are
relying heavily on rural discon-
tent in the normally Republican
farm states of the /liddle West
to enable them {o recapture the
presidency next November.
From an objective point of view,
it can be chronicled that neither
of the two major parties can boast
about its farm acomne anes in
recent veoue ‘
The Hoeratie in the relative
economic position of agriculture
started during the Truman admin-
istration, and the drift certainly
has not been arrested under Eis-
enhower.
FACE THE FACTS
In view of the pivotal impor-
tance of the issue, it is desirable
to face the known facts dispassion-
ately. * * =
While balance is eminently to be
desired, it should be understood
that in a dynamic world equilib-
rium should be sought through
‘forehanded adjustment to changing
trends.
This point has a bearing on
the attack on Secretary Ben-
son's formula of flexible, rather
than rigid, “government price

Accordingly the farm population
is at present estimated to be 12

1954, the per capital income of
farmers dropped 7 per cent. while
the per capita income of non-farm

has been the fact that govern-
ment price support policy has
added to the size of the carry-

and corn with marked rapidity
during the past three years.
Since 1952 the wheat and cotton
carryover has almost quadrupled,

Doctor Gives His Method
to Ease Ingrown Toenail
By WILLIAM BRAD‘, M.D.
When I was a kid in Canandai-
gua you flattened nails, coins, etc.
by putting them on the rail and let-
ting a train run over them.
It is not so easy to flatten a
nail on your toe. That takes sev-
eral weeks.
But why should any one want
to flatten a toenail? Toe prevent
it from growing in.
An ingrowing nail becomes ex-
cessively curved before it becomes
painful, the. edges, especially the
inner edge, curving down and un-
der so that it presses upon and
actually cuts into the soft tissue
as it grows.
TO FLATTEN NAIL
To flatten such a nail, rub a
small block of lavastone (a coarse
pumice) across top middle surface
until nail is considerably thinner.
This redirects growth so that the
nail flattens out and pressure from
the undergrowing edge is relieved.
Someone kindly sent me some
lava stone, which I used with
satisfaction, but inquiries direct-
ed to the
