Project in Bokaro In Wednesday’s Democrat, there was a feature story by UPI writer Lyle C. Wilson concerning a project to build a steel mill in Bokaro, India. It, was, a good exanple of “shallow” journalism, or a story written without sufficient background preparation. There were two errors in judgement implicitly apparent in the story. The first was Wilson’s definition of Marxian socialism. “Socialism”, or state ownership of the means of production and distribution, predates Karl Marx. Marxian socialism is the revolutionary socialism which we call Communism, espoused by Marx originally, continued by the Third International of Lenin, and Fourth International of Trotsky. It always includes force by a minority, rather than compensation after a majority vote, as in Fabian, or Second International, socialism, common in England, Sweden, Norway, etc. • We in the United States, who do not care particularly for either forms of socialism have the sloppy habit of lumping them all together. This is a serious error. One presents a serious threat to majority Democratic rule; the other makes possible the American, as well as British, socio-economic systems, which include in this country government ownership of post office facilities, parks, some electrical facilities, nuclear power, etc. In our system, our representatives in Con-: gress decide what will be owned or regulated, after full public hearing and debate, not by stealth, revolution, or minority force. India is not a Marxist socialist country — it does not favor force. It does have more government ownship than the U. S., principally because its means of production and distribution in Indian hands (as we have in the past), and no Indian private source has capital enough to develop the steel mills needed in India. U. S. government authorities, including the new ambassador to India, Chester Bowles, believe that Indian-owned steel mills help strengthen India’s private manufacturing industry (in which Americans invested $l3O million last year alone). Then Wilson makes his second mistake. He quotes from a very critical report by U. S. Steel on the Bokaro project. This report questioned India’s raw materials, manpower (!), transportation, iron ore, metallurgical coal, etc. No doubt U. S. Steel, an American taxpayer as are many, many of its stockholders, has a legitimate right to question the use of American tax dollars to finance a competing industry in a foreign nation. But this it didn’t do, at least in the article. (Actually, the best aid we ean give India is aid that will make the Indians self-sufficient as 'soon as possible — and a favorable balance of trade in iron and steel is quite • - important for this.) India has rich sources of iron, has moved from 19th to 14th in world steel production between 1956-61 by doubling its production (the U. S., leader is the world steel production,-actually decreased its production.) “In northeastern India, in the state of Bihar, lie some of the largest deposits of high-grade iron ore in the world, and these are fortunately located close both to good coal deposits and to the port of Calcutta,” says the Life World Library book on India. U. S. companies get fnhny of the contracts on new Indian construction — like Allis-Chalmers $lO mili lion contract to build a Kerala state-owned hydroelectric plant, or the 150,000-kilowatt steam turbine-genera-tor purchased from the International General Electric Co., for installation near Bombay. In the next ten years, Indiana will need about sl3 billion in economic assistance beyond defense needs. About $4 billion will come from the U. S., mostly as long-term loans at very low interest. A strong India, able to defend Southwest Asia against Chinese Communism is as important to us as Americans as our own Congress and president! A slight exaggeration, perhaps, but a thought well worth considering. •-* v | . |^l ' m us. h>. oh 3*— “Then do what the government does .. • raise your

As this date draws near again I would like to tell you about this flower’s sigrflficance and the purpose of Poppy Days. We in this country wear the poppy once -a year to signify the feeling of reverence in our hearts for the service men who died for America during two World Wars and the Korean conflict. The poppy is their flower. It grew on the battlefields of Europe where so many men fought and died. This flower grew along the battle lines and among the graves of the American dead; because of this, it has become the symbol of their sacrifice. But in addition to serving as a memorial to the war dead, the poppy helps lighten the burden carried by the men who returned disabled in mind and body. Making poppies gives employment to veterans who otherwise would not be able to earn support for themselves and their families. What form of aid could be more effective than helping veterans aid themselves with, productive work? Poppy Days provides an annual opportunity for the American public to offer encouragement to these men. As the special significance of Poppy Days has become widely known, more and more Americans wear these small red flowers proudly. The poppy has become recognized as an appropriate way in which our war dead can be honored while the disabled are rehabilitated. The need for relief

It can harvest some 15,000 pounds of cotton bolls a day. It would take back-aching effort by 75 to 100 men to pick that much cotton in the same length of time.

work which poppy funds make possible has grown each year. Our government has done much for disabled service men, but much also remains to be done. Funds from Poppy Days enables American Legion and auxiliary to meet this need. Dimes and dollars contributed during Poppy Days go directly into the rehabilitation and child welfare programs of these organizations. Not one cent is retained by either of these organizations which administers the program on a voluntary basis. Families aided by Poppy Day funds can be found in every community Veterans who rely upon poppy making for earning money to help support their families are to be found in virtually every stata in thfe nation. Poppy benefits are used to strengthen lives blighted by wartime injuries and suffering. When you are asked to wear a Poppy on Friday-,. May 24, and Saturday, May 25, remember the veteran in a hospital or workshop who made this memorial flower. Our Poppy Day purpose has always been to honor the war dead by assisting the living. This is the true significance of Poppy Day. o—— QModern Etiquette By Roberta Lee o : o Q. One of may girl friends is always* making untactful remarks. Recently she said, I always did like that hat on you,” a real snide implication as to the age of my hat. How can I teach her better manners? — : —• — — - A. The best thing for you to dt> is to handle such remarks in a light vein and when you do this, you don’t give others the satisfaction of thinking they have upset you. And you'll feel much better, too, for having kept your composure. Q. Isn’t it considered poor form for a* woman, at her second marriage to have three or four bridesmaids? A. Yes. The second marriage should be as simple and informal as possible, and the bride should have but one attendant. Q. What is the correct way to acknowledge an invitation to a christening? A. Either by note or telephone is correct. Q. I’ve been invited to spend two weeks with good friends in another city. Would it be proper to offer them some money to cover any extra expenses my visit might entail? A. Not if you have been invited as a guest. A nice, useful gift of some kind would show appreciation of your friends’ hospitality. Q. Even if the wedding is to be a small one, is it necessary for the bridegroom to have a best man?

A. This isn’t an unbreakable rule, but he should have a best man. If he has no brother, he may choose his best friend, or a brother of the bride.

Q. I know it’s a woman’s place to offer her hand first to a men, but if the maa should “beat her to the draw,” what should she do? A. In all good taste, she accepts the hand — without hesitation. Q. Would it be all right to ask my best friend to serve as my maid-of-honor, and my sister to be one of my.bridesmaids? A. Although it is usually the sister who gets “first choipe,” there ife no ironclad rule about this. Os course, it is true that choosing a friend seems to imply that she is more in sympathy than the sister, especially if the ages are nearly the same. Q. Where does the ring bearer stand during the wedding ceremoffy? A. Behind and to the right of the bride. 0 Which should be removed first from the dinner table — the serving dishes or the dinner plates? A. The dinner plates are removed first. Q. Should an usher at a church wedding offer his arm to every wo>

man he escorts down the aisle, whether he knows her or not? A. Certainly. Q. What is a good point to remember when planning the centerpiece of the dinner table? A. That your guests naturally like to see one another across the table, and therefore your centerpeace must not be too tall. It is far better to have a simple, flat bowl of flowers or fruit, flanked perhaps by a pair of candlesticks.
