Something Went Wrong In the heart of the Arabian desert is buried a city which may have been the home of the Queen of Sheba. It was abandoned hundreds of years ago cause “something went wrong” with the watershed, and the water supply failed. This was not an isolated occurence. In 1,800 b.c. and again about 1,200 b.c., large populations were supported in the Negeb, now a dry, barren area between Egypt, Syria and Israel. When proper water conservation practices were utilized, the country prospered. But when foreign conquerors, ignorant of conservation methods, invaded, they destroyed the very prosperity they meant to obtain. Egypt and northern Libya including Tripoli and Cyrenaica are much the same. The dust-filled aqueducts, forgotten dam structures, irrigation ponds and canals built five thousand years ago lie unused and forgotten. In some of these areas the present governments, awakened by the new learning and quickening pace of advancing civilization, are turning, not ‘ to new plans, but the old ones. They are reviva uig ancient Egyptian and Roman water conservation projects —- so that Egypt and Libya can again become the granary of the world. Many people of this generation think of the Suez canal as being a French project of the last century. Actually, it was first, as far as we now, know, completed in about 2,500 b.c. — 4,500 years ago. But succeeding generations “forgot” how to care for it — and lost’ft. The French engineers, so glorified in the last century and early 20th century, merely had to clear the dust of the centuries from the old Egyptian project. No single factor has A a more decisive influence on us than water, and it comes to us from our watershed. If we care for it, it can be used dozens of times before it evaporates and returns to the heavens. If we do not treat it wisely, then our civilization, like many hundreds before it, will vanish as vapor into “thin air.” Editorial written by—• Dick Hell

Greatest growth is likely to occur in the 18-19 age group, see chart above. A 30 per cent increase is, likely to be seen wer the next three years. This contrasts a- with a 13 per cenPgrowth from 1960 tb 1963. Second in line is the 14-17 age group followed by the 20-24 year olds. Greatest impact on economy of this growth will be new members in the labor force, increased pressure on college facilities and expanded demand for selected consumer goods- ; '' ,

for her husband, or by a husband for his wife is not covered by social security. 5. Q— I am a mechanic and recently made some major repairs on a friend's car. In return, he painted my shop for me. No money passed hands either way. Do we pay social security taxes on the value of these services rendered? A—No. With a few exceptions, only cash wages paid are subject to social security taxes. 6. Q— My 7G-year-old father receives railroad retirement but never had any social security coverage. I operate an open air fruit market and need a night watchman. Can I hire my father for this job and pay social security taxes on his wages to help him get coverage? A—Yes. Work done by a parent in the son or daughter’s trade or business is covered by social security. This represents a change made in the law effective with 1961. Work performed by a parent in the private home of a son or daughter is still not covered, however. 7. Q—l hire a maid one day a week at $5.00 per day. Rather than bother with deducting of this money weekly, can I just pay the full 7Vi% of the total wages myself at the end of the quarter when the report is due? A—Yes. You are only responsible for sending in the full amount of these social security taxes. It you desire to pay it all yourself, that is your privilege. Painted Walls A homemade solution for cleaning painted walls can be conjured up by combining two ounces of borax, one teaspoon of ammonia, aid two quarts of water. You’ll need no soap. Apply with a soft cloth.

Good Fellows Club Expresses Thanks

By A Good Fellow Members of the Good Fellows club, sponsored by the Delta Theta Tau .sorority, express their thanks to all who helped make Christmas a little merrier for the less fortunate of the city. The . club visited 72 families with a total of 349 persons. The entire community is to be commended for its spirit of neighborliness and generosity in contributing canned food, toys and money for the purchase of food. We were most happy that we were also able to purchase mittens, gloves, headwear or socks I . ■ £ -K. REASSIGNED — Airman William J.

THE BETTER WAY It has been said frequently that it is not what happens to us these days that matters so much as it is the way in which we meet wi;a't happens to us. Having al proper attitude — that of clear thinking, objective appraisal, viewing situations unemotionally without bias or prejudice — enables us to meet adequately any situation we must face. In this connection, Ralph Waldo Trine has said the following: “No clear thinking or clear seeing man or woman can be an apostle of despair. He alone fails who gives upor lies down. To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy, to take anew this attitude of mind whenever the dark or doleful thought presents itself, or whenever the bogeyman stalks into our room or across our path, is to set our own conditions to the events of each day. To do this 4s to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them. Painted Walls A starch solution will help keep your white painted and enameled walls and woodwork clean.
