Of particular significance is the revelation that while some increase in crime can be laid to our larger population, major offenses have climbed 20 per cent since 1950 while population has gone up only five per cent. The job of holding crime in check is not one for the police alone. In addition to the proper supervision and moral persuasion which parents should exercise over their children, especially teenagers, it is also important for people generally not to encourage crime through carelessness. Keys left in cars or doors and windows left unlocked at home are invitations to trouble. Equally dangerous is the carrying of large sums of money around or, worse still, of flashing it in public.

In addition to the proper supervision and moral persuasion which parents should exercise over their children, especially teenagers, it is also important for people generally not to encourage crime through carelessness. Keys left in cars or doors and windows left unlocked at home are invitations to trouble. Equally dangerous is the carrying of large sums of money around or, worse still, of flashing it in public. Always take your car keys with you even if leaving your car just for a moment. Always keep your house locked. Always keep your money and valuable papers in the bank and carry with you only the incidental cash needed. Furthermore, when you're out late at night avoid areas, if possible, where crimes are most frequently committed. These precautions faithfully exercised could do much to decrease crime and reduce the staggering burden of physical and financial loss it is imposing on the nation. Illusive Laughter Humor is a "blessed event in our lives, a factor in freedom, a bulwark against totalitarianism and the first casualty of dictatorship — long may it thrive." This opinion was given by Malcolm Muggeridge, editor of Punch, to the Canadian Club in Ottawa. Mr. Muggeridge, in an interview was less helpful about what humor is. "What makes one man laugh will have no effect on another," he said. "In fact, there are a lot of things that go into Punch I don't think are funny at all. But I am assured by others that they are intensely funny." There is a further problem concerning humor, to which actors and other public performers will attest with deep sadness. Not only do people laugh at the wrong times, it is generally difficult to decide whether they are laughing with the speaker or at him. This is why humor is not popular with dictators. They can never be sure if it's on their side. (Montreal Gazette) "This Ought Not to Be" Way back in 1837 this country underwent its first major depression.

Poets—2/01 GETTING HOTTER! The David Lawrence Dispatches By DAVID LAWRENCE GENEVA, May 4—International conferences have their ups and downs, and this is one of those stages in which things are decidedly down. Sometimes it looks as if the entire Western Alliance is just a myth and as if the Communists are riding high to bigger and bigger propaganda victories. This comes about because one sees here the transparent weaknesses of both France and Britain who shy away from even the mildest proposals for collective action and collective-security in Asia and reveal an awe of, if not a submissiveness to, Moscow's demands. It make one wonder how long Uncle Sam can keep on pouring billions into the coffers of allies who, with the best intentions in the world, feel helpless with their own public opinion to stand up in the clinches. As one surveys Europe and Asia to find the real allies of the United States today, it looks as if Spain—which has granted us air bases—will not quibble about our right to throw an atom bomb back at Russia if we are attacked. It also looks in Asia as if we could depend upon the really powerful army of South Korea and the armies of Pakistan, the Philippines and Japan when a crisis comes. But as for France and Britain, they have apparently gone isolationist and seem unconcerned about the possible loss of southeast Asia to the Communists and would make a deal tomorrow with Moscow if they could do so gracefully and without too much offense to America. Prime Minister Churchill's latest speech, too, indicates he is willing to make a deal in Europe with Soviet Russia. It is significant that, for the first time in all his utterances, he wishes "happiness and ever-increasing joy."

Rita's sensational splash was for an intriguing scene in Universal International's "Sign of the Pa-gan."

Three assistant directors stationed at strategic points by the director, Douglas Sirk, watched carefully to be certain Miss Gam's aquatic gyrations didn't show her cinematically beyond the limits of censorship regulations. "They were very careful," Rita explained. "As it turned out, only 32 feet of me will be exposed on the CinemaScope screen. The other 65 will be hidden under the water." After occupying the pool for four hours while the cameras recorded her historic bath, Miss Gam emerged as an expert. "Other actresses might like to know," she revealed, "thaa in a CinemaScope bathtub scene, they should be much more horizontal than vertical. At least, that's what the cameramen kept yelling."

He knows how to cut out unnecessary words When he wrote his chief, President Eisenhower, and said that his doctors advised him to retire he wrote a short note. The Chief was moved to accept, with regret, with a note many words longer.

You first set up the fence and them fit the heavy-gauge Krene liner into place. After you smooth down the floor and sidewalls, the wading pool is ready to hold some 7,000 gallons of water. The plastic seams are electronically welded to prevent leakage. A hose outlet drains the pool, which can be cleaned easily.

OTHMAY possibility of setting up a standing committee of governments for a southeast Asia alliance, similar to the one established for the Korean situation and for NATO. This was a powerful countermove and it worried the Communists, so they got buoy and stirred up Nehru of India, who in turn stirred up some of h's satellites in a suddenly convened conference at Ceylon. There only Pakistan stood up against his efforts to torpedo the Dulles plan. But it was London's turnabout which caused the most commotion here, and it seemed as if the British government were more anxious not to offend Nehru than the United States. Meanwhile, French foreign minister Bidault has tried valiantly to keep the situation fluid so his cabinet would not be overthrown in the midst of the negotiations here. He has struggled to put forth some kind of plan for the partition of Indo-China. To the American delegation, the word "partition" has been an anathema. Then, out of a clear sky and without advance warning the delegation here, President Eisenhower discussed at his press conference the idea of partition in principle. It was promptly seized upon here as meaning a repudiation of what Dulles was trying to do. Actually there wasn't much difference between what the President said and what the secretary was trying to accomplish as an ultimate objective — namely, to achieve a "modus vivendi" in a military sense—but the European press distorted it into an Eisenhower willingness to accept a surrender of Southeast Asia. It would be much better if the White House made no comments at all in these delicate situations while a conference of such importance is in progress, as even McLEAN, Va.—One beauty about a horse is that nowhere upon his anatomy is a bracket to hang a license plate. Nor is he equipped with a glove box to stuff documents making his possession legal. Gad! I've done my full share of complaining about the way automobiles are designed, but what's really getting me down is the paperwork. And the standing in line. I've been so busy lately answering questionnaires and inching my way up to the man at the desk for one sort of document or another, that I haven't had much time to drive my motor car. This automotive bookkeeping seems to be getting more complicated year by year, and if it doesn't stop every dashboard soon must be equipped with an adding machine and a slot in which to place the special license fees. Consider Fairfax County, Va., where I live; it doesn't differ much from any place else in America. Buy a sedan. Then a certificate of ownership, which costs a dollar and some correspondence with the registrar. He forwards an application for license in four sections. Take this out to the county seat, stand in line an hour or so, and pay $10 for a state license. Then go by another office, in another town, and stand in line again for the privilege of paying $5 for a county license. This is a narrow strip of metal with a number on it, designed to bolt on top of the state license. It won't bolt on the bottom. And I've got a sedan with special recesses in the bumpers to hold the state license plates. There is no room for any extra license. I'm worrying about this now; the authorities can fine me up to $300 if I don't carry that county license. That's only the beginning. I've been over to still another line once more to get my automobile inspected. This involves getting a piece of paper stuck to the windshield, plus another piece of paper to prove I paid my money. The $10 fee for the state license was only a small part of it. I sat up late figuring out what my old sedan was worth and swearing to same on a spectar personal property tax form. This I have sent in: I'll get the bill later and it will threaten severe penalties if my check is late. You can't drive a car without insurance, of course, and you don't just apply for insurance any more. You've got to fill in a small brochure, saying where you ordinarily drive it, who ordinarily drives it. how old he is and whether the trips are for business or just fun. This is so the man can figure out the rate. A motorist who drives 11 miles a day to work pays a higher rate than one who only drives nine. In my own case, finally, I have had to get a special license allowing me to park at the U.S. Capitol so I can get my work done. This cost nothing and I was pleased. All I had to do was sign an application. Only the man said it should be pasted in the lower-right hand corner of the windshield. I already had another license pasted there. Came a cop who said I had too much litter glued to the glass. I agreed. He said, move it. I said, how? He wasn't even amused. And there you are (you, too, when you come to think about it) and I claim the time has come to consolidate some of the errands foisted upon the hapless motorist. Either that, or I get a horse. Fact is, a hotel owner in my state put on the road the other day a coach-and-four to carry his guests in ye olden style to Mt. Vernon, home of G. Washington. For this ference between what the President said and what the secretary was trying to accomplish as an ultimate objective — namely, to achieve a "modus vivendi" in a military sense—but the European press distorted it into an Eisenhower willingness to accept a surrender of Southeast Asia. It would be much better if the White House made no comments at all in these delicate situations while a conference of such importance is in progress, as even the most innocent words are misinterpreted deliberately by the anti-American press in Europe. The cause is by no means lost here, however, and it is a good thing Secretary Dulles has decided to go back to Washington for a brief interval, because American public opinion needs to be informed on exactly what the issues are here and members of Congress need to be told how some of them have been inadvertently weakening the hand of their own delegation in Geneva. For, whether it is called "partition" or a "truce line", the important thing is for the Allies to be able to say that they will defend such a line and that any transgression across that line will mean war, just the same as any aggressive action across the line drawn in Europe and across the 38th Parallel in Korea today means war. For it's the only way out—to draw a line in Asia as well as in Europe and tell the Communists to stay behind it under penalty of massive retaliation. But what if our European allies do not go along and want to continue to appease the Communists? Then comes the "agonizing reappraisal" of American aid to Europe of which Secretary Dulles spoke several months ago. Maybe the time to make the reappraisal is nearer than most Europeans think.

A new device for the home or office will increase your comfort during warm weather by turning the air conditioning unit on and off any time you wish. This timer, which is smaller than a lunch pail, thus converts the room air conditioner into fully automatic operation. It plugs into an AC outlet and connects to the air conditioner. By pre-setting the timer you do away with that uncomfortable period before a room becomes cool and you avoid the problem of forgetting to turn off the air conditioner. The metal-cased timer, in addition to 24-hour control, may be adjusted so the air conditioner does not operate on certain days. (Tork Clock Co., Mount Vernon, N.Y.)
