UNCLE EB from EBENEZER Says: DEAR MISTER EDITOR: I see by the papers where a feller named Edward Harriman that has charge of such matters fer the Post Office Department has given permission to manufacturers to come out with some new models fer rural mail boxes. He recommends the new models open from the back side so’s the younguns can fetch the mail without gitting hit by cars. He didn’t say how the rural mail carrier was going to stuff the mail in from the backside, but I recon one of them Guvernment agencies will solve this problem just as soon as they git a couple million “research” approperation from the Congress fer this purpose. Brother Harriman says the Guvernment ain't setting no price stand ards on the new boxes and if a feller wants to git hisself some “status” in the community, he can have one special, maybe gold-plat-ed and costing SI,OOO or more. Personal, I’d prefer a barrel mounted on four cedar posts and opening from the bottom so’s I could run the wheelbarrer under it and handle my literature from them Guvernment agencies all in one operation. I aim to write my Congressman a letter along these lines. I been trying to figger out, Mister Editor, how much tax relief I’m going to git out of President Kennedy’s plan fer cutting taxes. About the best I can figger right now is that it’ll be like dropping a lump' of sugar in a barrel of coffee. I ain’t going to git enough relief to taste it. I saw where one feller said we ain’t had no real tax relief in this country in 200 year, since our ancesters give the Boston Tea Party, and we ain’t liable to git no .more till the voters has a Washington Tea Party. Well, Mister Editor. 1 hate to report it but the fellers at the country' store Saturday night come out fer this social medicine business. Ed Doolittle said if you take the long veiw of the thing, they ain’t no way around it. Folks has got to have more medical care so’s they can work longer fer tax purposes. Farthermore, Ed claims the kid of today is going to have to last a heap longer than his Pa did and be a heap stronger and able to pay more taxes. Zeke Grubb said he’d have to go along with Ed on this item. Zeke figgers the doctors is all strong agin the social medicine program, but Zeke allows as how the doctors is going to have a hard time paying off the national debt by theirsclves. Personal, Mister Editor, I voted agin the resolution. I’m agin social anything. Ever time the Guvern ment gits into one of them social deals we have to send $2 to Washington to git $1 back. I’d even be agin social mail boxes, would rather buy my own barrel. Yours truly, Uncle EB

AT THE LIBRARY The Living Reed By Pearl Buck Pearl Buck’s newest book is, as usual, well written. An authority on Asia, she now writes about Korea. The Korea she tells about is a land long divided and finally falling under Japanese rule. It was a pawn for many years between China, Japan,/and Russia. The Koreans, in rffeed of help, look to the United States, the only country which doesn’t seem to want something in the way of more terri tory or power. The Christian influence in Korea helps this atttitude toward America, but America shows little interest. In fact, President Theodore Roosevelt seems to be intrigued with the Japanese and helps them on their way toward future expansion. The family involved in this story is of importance in Korea. The older generation sticks to their old ways. One of the sons marries a C hristian, and as his father learns more about Christian love and courage, he becomes more tolerant of these people. The older son, yearning for something greater for Korea, is a revolutionary, at one time leaning toward communism as a possible solution. The reader can see how it was possible for people i t such a place as Korea could be swept along by anything which might promise them more than they have. A pathetic part of the narrative is the episode dealing with Woodrow Wilson. His utterances new hope to the people of Korea, end they felt sure that he must be talking about them. When they went to see him after the War, they found him a sick old man, helpless to offer them anything. One interesting point lost on most Americans is touched upon by Pearl Buck. China and Russia were busy seeking ways to divide Korea at the 38th Parallel almost 5C years before Harry Truman. In fact, much of the history of this land in Asia is one of division between North and South.
