There are about 1,000 Indian teachers employed on the island, and they are threatening to quK and go home. No one could blame them if they departed. Teaching is difficult enough without having the people who employ teachers to educate their children saying they have no right to homes in their communities. Americans would certainly hate to see a thousand teachers walk out of their schools. . The problem would be how to replace them.

They hare no Idea of the severity and danger of the diseaae. Most of us have the comfortable feeling that we are thoroughly Srotected against smallpox and ist an epidemic to Simply impossible. Bare in the U. S. A. „ Because of widespread vaccination, this disease has become a rare occurrence in the United States, with many large cities not having seen cases for years. However, in a recent study of a group of men entering the Army it was found that almost ten per cent of them had never been vaccinated; of those who had been previously vaccinated sometime during their life, 12 per cent were In need of revaccination in order to continue their Immunity.

Tiny Sweden baa decided to revive trade in that country, it baa announced a vast reduction of tariffs on almost aM imported goods. Sweden’s action was not taken entirely for altruistic reasons, although R was designed, according to the Ministry ot Oommerce, to facilitate a return to the tree exchange of international currencies an<F to liberalise world Jr* trade. It was also dictated by self Internet The move was aimed at setting off a big trade rush between Sweden and the United States which would revive competition, lower prices and check the inflationary trend in that country. ----- __o—-0-The men who have made huge windfall profits from housing developments, do not have so much to explain that they made easy money, as from the fact that they didn’t report the Income in their tax returner Those guilty should be prosecuted for this violation ot the law. Profit is an accepted means of making a living, although all the homing cases do not stand scrutiny, but to gyp the government out of taxes because they made huge profits, is a direct violation of the law. These violators are no better than were the gangsters of the prohibition era when the federal government had to step In* and prosecute the guilty for tax evasion. —o The Champs:— Baseball has not lost any of its interest and thrills for fans who follow the teams in the Big Leagues.

These two best teams in the world will fight every inch of the way and Americans wHI witness one of the greatest world series ever seen on the diamond. Our foreign troubles and international relations will have to take back-page during the world series contest, for Americans will have their eyes and ears glued on the generalship ot Durocher and Lopes as they direct their teams in the series.

At first this rash consists of small red spots that raise to pimples and later form blisters containing pus. Smallpox can be fatal to both children and adults and may leave its victim with many disfiguring pock marks on his body.

T bad lunch with him today,” Quincy said. “He isn’t so grim, really. Sort of a sweet, stormy old thing. Yates took me there." Maude came upstairs then, her bat in her hand. Her tragic mood ot test night nad evidently lifted; she walked lightly and there was smug complacency on her face. “Did Unde Elihu telephone?" Penn asked.

The mortgage was one of those guaranteed by the federal housing administration and was the subject of testimony Tuesday before the senate banking committee during an Indianapolis hearing. John F. Watkins tiled the suit Tuesday in the southern Indiana federal district court in Indianapolis, for the Trust Company of New Jersey. The successful completion of the suit probably would give the mortgage-holder the money and leva* the FHA operating the project During testimony before Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R-lnd.) Milton E. Zerman, of New York, president of Crane Village, Inc. declared that the construction of the housing project in the sparsely populated area was undertaken only because the secretary of the navy had certified it was needed. Zerman said he later learned that the project -was unsound and should not have been undertaken in the first place. He cited unsuccessful efforts to rent the many unfilled units of the new structure, but did say that if he were allowed more time, the project eventually might be financially successful.
