TODAY'S EDITORIAL Most Appropriate Time rnHE PUBLICATION of the Kennedy Memo in Mc- ■ Call’s magazine comes at a most appropriate time because of the administration’s desire for an arms control agreement, even without adequate inspection, between the United States and the Soviet Union. Writing about the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, the late Robert F. Kennedy reported that the Kennedy administration had fooled itself about Soviet intentions toward the U.S. Previously President Kennedy and his New Frontier .advisers were convinced that Moscow would never smuggle missiles into Cuba because, so the theory went, the Communists were interested in thawing out the Cold War. Besides, Khrushchev had promised he would never do such a thing. Evidence to the contrary, however, had been building up for several months before the administration ordered U2 reconnaissance flights over the island fortress to confirm the presence of missile bases in mid-October, 1962. Throughout the summer of that year, Seri. Kenneth Keating of New York, Barry Goldwater and other GOP senators had warned about the rocket buildup in Cuba. John McCone, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, in late summer had told the White House of what was going on, as had numerous eye witnesses who came out of Cuba. Relying on false conceptions about the Communists, rather than the hard facts, the administration fooled itself, as Bobby Kennedy admitted, and in the process endangered the survival of the United States. The point that all Americans should remember is that the Communists are not interested in calling off the Cold War but only in lulling the people of the United States into a fatal sleep while they plot our destruction. An arms reduction without adequate inspection would only induce a stupor that could be suicidal to the country. The only way to maintain what relative peace exists in the world is for the United States to remain so powerful militarily that the Communists fear to attack or deceive us with treachery like the smuggling of missiles into Cuba.

INDIANAPOLIS ( U P I ) — Sixty-seven-year-old Charles Edward Henry finally has gained his freedom after serving 44 years of a life term for slaying an Indianapolis policeman, a crime he denied. Henry was one of two men serving life terms who were authorized for parole by the Indiana Parole Board in a report made public Monday. The other was Roy W.

Henry was sentenced in 1924 from Shelby County, to which both his trial and that of Reynolds were transferred on change of venue from Marion County.

Bainbridge Latin Club has busy club year planned

A little paragraph in the New York Times appearing a week or so before the national election revealed how the editorial board of the Columbia University newspaper had resolved to vote for President. The vote was for Eldridge Cleaver. The gentleman preferred by the students to Richard Nixon is not widely known in the United States, because we are not all of us so well-informed or welleducated as the young journalists of Columbia University. I spent an hour with Mr. Cleaver here in San Francisco after having read up on him a little bit. His name does not appear in Who’s Who, but if it did, Who’s Who would briefly record that he is currently the Information Minister of the Black Panthers, and was the presidential candidate of the Peace and Freedom party in 1968; that early on in his life he elected to defy the law, which he began to do as a boy by hustling marihuana, for which he was sent up to a juvenile reformatory, after grauation from which he turned to the serious business of rape, beginning first with black victims but moving on to white women for ideological reasons, carefully explained in his best-selling autobiography, “Soul on Ice.” But upon being caught and sentenced to prison for 14 years, he undertook his self-education, and prevailed upon lawyers generally friendly to iconoclasm to argue for his parole, which parole was granted after nine years in prison, whereupon Mr. Cleaver enrolled as a Panther and rose instantly to a position of prominence. In due course a rumble ensued at which a young Panther was killed, and the State of California contends that Mr. Cleaver was consorting with such persons as the parole regulations prohibited keeping company with, resulting in a) his recall to prison; b) his release from prison by order of the lower courts, c) which ruling has been over turned by a higher court; d) whose ruling is under appeal resulting in the protagonist’s continued, if temporary, freedom. Concerning Mr. Cleaver’s activities and those of his Party, one can suggest only the flavor of his approach. Ronald Reagan,

for instance , is, in Mr. Cleaver’s language, “a punk, a sissy, and a coward, and I challenge him to a duel to the death or until he says Uncle Eldridge.” Those who take a little clandestime pleasure at that kind of thing said about Ronald Reagan might however find a little bit off-putting the Black Panther Journal published after the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, which ran a drawing of Mr. Kennedy as a dead pig. Those who find this understandable as campaign oratory may wonder at Mr. Cleaver’s treatment of Julian Bond, whom he recently accused of being “a pig (who) might just end up being barbecued with the rest of the pigs.” Well then, what should we do about it all? ‘T hope,” Mr. Cleaver said recently, “I hope you’ll take your guns and shoot judges and police.” I asked Mr. Cleaver whether he finds it consistent with his ideology to encourage the assassination of Mr. Richard Nixon, who after all is the chief pig-elect, and Mr. Cleaver replied that he would not publicly encourage the assassination of Mr. Nixon because the pigs would come after him if he did, but that privately he would do so, satisfied as he is that he deserves to die, even as did the pig Kennedy. Had enough? Ah, but your stomachs are not as strong as those of the more educated members of the community, like the faculty members of the University of California who have invited Mr. Cleaver to give a course for credit at the Berkeley campus. Actually they really wouldn’t want him for president, they are just getting their kicks without confronting the consequences: a venture in ideological onanism. I told Mr. Cleaver that the supreme irony of it all is that such support as he has is mostly from the white folks. The blacks are too dignified, too honest, too gentle. It takes middle class educated white folks to say “Cleaver for President,” even as, in 18th Century France, it was the sports in the upper class who lionized deSade. Cleaver is half right to feel such contempt as he feels for those of us who tolerate him and his disciples.

A first year club member, Paul Sanders, has constructed and furnished a Roman house. The house has two main sections with several wings or alae around each section. The main part or section of the house is the atrium. It is a large room and is surrounded by wings. In the middle of the atrium there is a large basin. The Basin which sits beneath a hole in the roof was used by the Romans to catch rain and obtain sunlight. The other large section, called the peristyle, is completely roofless. The wings around it, however, have roofs. In this room, Paul placed replicas of a statue and trees. The Romans also Maple Heights Club meets The Maple Heights Club met at the club house at 6:30 for their Thanksgiving Dinner. They had a well filled table with food of all kinds, it was all delicious. At 7:30 the meeting was opened by the President Mrs. Grubb. Roll call was answered by, “Something you are sharing.” Ten members were present including one child Debbie Crawley and one guest who is going to become a new member, Mrs. Opal Patterson. The lesson was on, “Smart Trim” and given by Mayme McCullough. She told of the different things that can be used for trim, to give clothes a different appearance. The colors for this season are gray, beige and soft green. The lesson for Dec. is candymaking. Helen Sinclair will give the lesson. The members are to bring 50£ grab bag gifts and your secret pal gift. Also each member is to bring cookies for refreshments. The Club closed with the Club Prayer.

planted such things as flowers and shrubs in their perstyles. The surrounding wings were used for a variety of things by the Romans. They served as bedrooms, libraries, dining rooms, and the servants’ quarters. Paul has designated and furnished each of these small rooms. The outside of a Roman house was usually gray. Therefore, Paul used gray cardboard with a plastic foundation in the construction of his house. The inside of the house also ahs been furnished with a variety of objects and colors. Paul’s Roman house is on display in the Latin room. It helps add to the club member’s knowledge of Roman life.

The entertainment committee for the Roman Banquet has been hard at work. The committee has decided on two skits which will be presented at the banquet. “I Sing of Arms’ and The Man” is a musical skit about the Trojan Horse. “Cupid and Psyche” is a dramatization about fifteen minutes in length.

DEAR HKLOISK: Our son and his wife came up with a great idea which certainly works well for them. In a family where there is more than one child (they have four), write numbers (1, 2, 3. 4 i on pieces of paper and let them draw for who gets the first bath. The children realize that sometimes the same child gets No. 1 two or thiee times in a row, but there’s no argument. They drew it themselves . . . Anyone visiting in their home at bath time is amazed at the harmony and ease of getting those four chlidren ready for bed including an adoring grandmother. Alberta Mason * * * DEAR HELOISE: I put a dab of jam on leftover pieces of pie crust and bake about 15 minutes. Delicious! Bessie K. Emory ♦ * * DEAR HELOISE: I'm fifteen and like a lot of other teenagers have mote "stuff” than I can fit into my dresser drawers. A few weeks ago I came up with a solution. I started saving all the shoe boxes I could get my hands on and dumped everything out of my dresser drawers. I then divided the stuff into categories such as make-up. camera paraphernalia, stationery, curlers, mail, jewelry, etc., put each group in a shoe box and labeled the ends. Then I stacked these on my closet shelf. NOW, I can find whatever I want without searching through all my dresser drawers.

I put my pillow in my sis-ter-in-law’s dryer (which has all those small holes in the drum) to fluff it up a bit. When we opened the door, feathers flew everywhere in her basement. And what a job it was to get all the feathers out of the small holes in that drum. I lost a pillow, but with all the hysteria of laughter that went with it, I'm sure I’ll never forget. Next time I'll check the seams to make sure this doesn't happen again. Betty M. * * * I'm wondering if you used your vacuum cleaner wand to pick up the pieces? We did. Ours happened right in front of a big window air conditioner! And down feathers yet!! .Messy, messy . . .

Then when the answer comes back, I check it off.

In case of film or catalog orders, I note the number of days for delivery. This way I can tell at a glance if an order is long overdue or I'm just too anxious. After one or two orders from a company, I can tell how long to expect to wait, and if I have to send an inquiry in, I have exact information at my fingertips.

While they are slightly damp, I hang them back on the rods and put paper clips on each pleat at the top (inserting them from the inside i and leave them on overnight. The pleats dry perfectly.
