ANY MAN who would write a “campaign plan for single women” is a traitor to. his kina in my estimation. Any man who would pen | an article entitled “How to Make Him Propose” so the matrimonial ranks of which he is a member will grow, deserves a swift—rebuttal, Must remember not to get carried away. ” Suffice it to say, the article appears in a current issue of a national ‘magazine. 1 will not be a party to spreading ideas to the “nearly eight million unmarried women between the ages of 18 and 44.” If the piece had heen
written by a member
of the eight milljon, or a starry-eyed young thing just fastened
who had a ball and chain on a
furry ankle, my dander wouldn't be up. But this “campaign plan” was spawned by a married man. What won't people do for money?
A LIFE of freedom is precarious bringing to the attention of would-be brides ‘‘eight definite steps to reduce the ranks of eight million , . . blah, blah.” Unfortunately for us bachelors who consider our pursuit of happiness strictly-our own business, the battle plan, with some exceptions, ap-

And yet: there is something clean and sportsmanlike about the union when it happens that way, For centuries man has either bought, stolen, captured or pursued his mate. The world is wacky enough without encouraging women to Machiavellian practices in the ancient art of making two hearts beat each other to death. There is time enough for skulduggery after the law permits a woman to claim half of a four-poster. I'm going to mention a couple of the st2ps to “aid” a. man. It wouldn't do to give them all.

expected that by 1853, this supply of American tanks and guns will form the basic reserve of all NATO armed forces. Most of the other countries in the organization have increased their military budgets. France and Germany have made some
progress in integrating their arms production. A program !o turn out
trained officers. a commodity in very short supply, is in the works. This fould establish a NATO college within France's West Point, the Ecole Militaire in Paris. ” » » ONE UNIQUE FEATURE of this plan is that the students would not all be military men. The planners figure that, in to-
day's world, defense problems are not purely military. The European Army, for one thing, calls for the setting up of a European Defense Commission, a sort of council for supernational defense. So the NATO military college would have students who were civilian officials — financiers, economists’ and diplomats. They would study the same courses that the military men took. Gradually, the resources of Western Europe are being mar- ' shaled for its defense. But there are still many problems to be solved before the European Army becomes a reality.

Last summer they all migrated to the southern resorts of the Atlantic Coast, Biarritz and St. Jean de Luz.
