Pride in ownership of property is one of the bulwarks of our system of capitalism and Democracy. During this month the pos> office department will check al rural mail boxes to make certaii that they meet safety specifics tions. Many county residents have gone much further, and made their boxes an object of commun ity pride. ——o o The Communists in the United States are now desperately trying to lay a foundation for unity with other left-wing socialist groups, including the Trotskyites, J. Edgar Hoover has told the Senate committee on the judiciary. The head of the FBI has carefully analyzed the 16th convention of the Communist Party of the United States. One of the most obvious faults of the Communist party is its double standard of morality. It criticizes the U. S. unmercilessly for its Negro problem, and the same shelved criticism of the Soviet Union for liquidating the outstanding Yiddish writers and proponents of Jewish cultural life in the USSR. No, the Communist party is still the same old wolf in a new set of sheep’s clothing. o o— Raising first class postage to four cents is not the answer to our postal problem. First class mail is a service for all the people. Widows, soldiers, wives, families separated toy the miles, friends in many places, arc all kept close together by our first class mail. The great expense of maintaining the postal department is, of course, its personnel. Extra personnel are needed, not to carry the great bulk of first class letters, but to carry heavy magazines and big-city newspapers full of advertising. Why not Tgive The very Ught," easy to handle letters a break, and put the bulk of expense on the heavier magazines and newspapers where it belongs? Perhaps the main reason is that main contributors to Republican campaign funds are these same publishers who know a good thing when they have one.

The community fund board has made a wise choice in selecting the Rev. Virgil W. Sexton'as president for the coming year. The community fund is quite important to the community, since many of its charities are supported partly or wholly by funds collected. We are certain that Rev. Sexton will do a fine job a» overseer of the committee. o— —o Adams county residents have again responded mercifully to a plea for help. Aaron Yoder, Decatur man who is a native of the Berne area, will undergo heart surgery June 17. A total of thirteen blood donors must be present to furnish blood needed during the tedious operation. More than 20 have now offered their help. Others who desire to help may donate money to the Aaron' Yoder Heart Surgery Fund at the local Red Cross office. This will be used to" furnish two special ' nurses for Yoder during the operation and for incidental expenses. ——o 0—« Another Decatur youth has been injured riding a bicycle. Some of these accidents could be prevented by adequate safety precautions. Every bicycle in Decatur should be kept in good repair, with brakes, lights, and reflectors. Apparently this is not done. A city bicycle responsibility law, requiring a 50 cent license tag on every bicycle should be adopted. The ordinance should require each bicycle to be inspected by the police, and pass the inspection before it is permitter on the public streets. Parents of minors should be made responsible for their children’s vehicles. Children should pass a simple test on safety before being permitted to drive a bicycle. It’s too late, to talk about safety after a fatal accident. Something can be done now. When summer arrives, children riding tw‘o and three abreast, through stop signs without lights or reflectors on their bikes, will be seen every evening returning from baseball games and the city swimming pool.

When a girl is being introduced to a man whom she believes she has met before, should she mention it to him? A. If his memory does not see«p so good as hers; it would probably be better not to make mention of I the former meeting, but merely to ; acknowledge with, ”How do you do. Mr. Billings.” Q. I was widowed several months ago. and a friend has told ■ me I am supposed either to discard my wedding ring or to wear j it on my right hand. Which is cor- j rect? | A. Certainly, you are not com- j pelled to do either these! You' may continue to wear your wed-1 ding ring for as long as you wish. ; Q. Is it considered bad manners ; for one to sip coffee or tea while . chewing on food that is already in j the mouth? A. Yes; only one item of food I or drink should be in the mouth i at any one time.

Russell Sees Approval For Defense Plan Senate Committee To Study Bill As Soon As House Acts WASHINGTON (ffl — Chairman Richard B. Russell of the Senate Armed Services Committee said today he believes a "defense reorganization bill be approved which is “reasonably satisfactory to everybody." The Georgia Democrat made the statement to newsmen. He said he has not had a chance to study the bill drafted last week by the House Armed Services Committee. But he said his committee will hold hearings on it as soon as the House completes action. “I think a bill can be worked out that will be reasonably satisfactory—and still protect the prerogatives of Congress,” Russell said. “Os course it won’t give anybody all that they want.” Russell's statement underlined the view, expressed by other Senate sources, that the defense rer organization fight which once loomed as a no-holds-barred battle between Congress and the President may end up as a mild skirmish. The President’s plan is designed to tighten up the chain of command in the armed services and give the secretary of defense broader administrative and command powers. An alternate and radically different plan had been proposed by powerful congressional leaders including Chairman Vinson <DGa.) of the House Armed Services Committee. * Ronald Colman Dies In California Today f Noted British-Born Movie Actor Dies SANTA BARBARA, Calif. OF—- — actor Ronald Coli man. 67. whose career spanned three decades of American and English stages and brought him fame as the star of more than 100' motion pictures, died'today. The white-haired and handsome actor had been hospitalized last year at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica for treatment of a lung ailment. He was best known for performances in the romentic. classic style films, but turned to television toward the end of his acting life for the filmed video program, "Halls of Ivy.” Colman's debonair manner and the hesitating, British voice that had been imitated many times stamped him for young romantic roles until he was almost 50. But in recent years, his acting was confined to the suave middle-aged type in company with his actress wife, Benita. Last spring he was one of the celebrities who did fast scenes in Mike Todd’s “ArOund the World in 80 Days,” but he did it only for the fun of it. “I won't do another motion picture role, unless it adds a feather to my cap or is a lot of fun — something that tickles one's fancy,” he said. His personal preference always was for light fomedy and at the peak of his long career he earned an average of $150,000 a week for just eight weeks of work in one picture a year. Colman's -motion picture achievements included such films as “Random Harvest” and “A Double Life,” for which he w’on an Academy award in 1947. Others were “The Late George Apley," “Prisoner of Zenda,” “Beau Geste,” “Clive of India,” “Tale of Two Cities,” and the famed “Lost Horizon.” If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad— they bring results.
