Turkey Rises From Ashes Os Ottoman Empire To Join West
By DELLA AND ARCH BAUMGARTNER ISTANBUL, Turkey, Sun., Feb. 20 — Besides being an important bridge between the cultures of the East and West, the country of Turkey provides a genuine, modern-day lesson in how a country with a strong leader can swing itself around to a new culture overnight. the case of Turkey, this leader was General Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, under whose fearless guidance the so-called War of Liberation was fought by the Turks. This would appear to be where the term “Young * ’Turks”*got its origination. “Out of chaos and despair came the revolt of the Turkish people against invasion of their homeland, arid the tyranny of the old Ottoman regime,” says the piece of background literature members of odt- group were given -fti Istanbul World War. I Casualty Decline of the Ottoman Empire set in from the close of die seventeenth century, and the next hundred and fifty years’ was a period of almost continuous ’wars. The First World War dealt the final blow to this Empire, ruled by Sultans, some good, some bad, and let the country destitute in the hands of the victors It was time for General Mustafa Kemal and his “Young .

the face of Turkey," according to our literature. Let’s let it speak: "He saw with absolute clarity that the future lay with the people of Anatolia, and that the country must be modernized rapidly to take its place in the Western family of nations. There must be no hankering after lost territories; no “foreign adventures. “One of the first steps he took in Parliament was to abolish the Caliphate and separate state from religious affairs. By a series of decrees, the all-powerful clergy were confined solely to ecclesiastical functions, the dervish orders were closed, the religious law was replaced by adaptions of the Swiss civil and the Italian penal codes, and the Georgian calendar was adopted The new constitution was based on the sovereignty of the people and the liberty and equality of all citizens irrespective of race or creed. Social Reforms "Then followed a fresh series of far-reaching social and economic reforms, carried through swiftly and often dramatically. When Ataturk decided to abolish the fez, he simply drove to one of the most traditionalist centers in the north, and addressed the crowd wearing a Panama hat. "Realizing that the Arabic script held back the speed of education, he introduced the modified Latin alphabet, and toured the villages with blackboard and chalk. The metric system of weights and measures was brought in. Sunday replaced Friday as the weekly day of rest, franchise was made universal for all men and women over 21, and the adoption of surnames became obligatory.” The change of the alphabet from Arabic to Roman came overnight, literally, and one morning in 1925 all newspapers and official business was conducted in a foreign character for these peoples which now number nearly 36 million. Ataturk had worked out the new alphabet by himself. The new alphabet has 26 characters. It has no letters “w,” "x,” or "q.” It carries a German umlaut on the letters "u” and “o.” and has two letter “i’s," one with a dot above and one without the dot, and two letters “s’s,” one with a dot under it and one without the dot. The umlaut and dot above the "i" or dot under the "s” gives a different inflection, it goes without saying. If you have trouble figuring this out, consider the plight of the Turkish people, whose rate of illiteracy was staggering in 1925, when they were faced overnight with a completely new alphabet. It would take a strong leader, indeed, to accomplish this miraculous transformation. When Ataturk died in 1938. he had brought his people out from the ruins of a bygone age into a compact modem state, and he had laid solid foundations for a lasting and progressive democracy. Test of how the Turkish people revere this leader is seen everywhere one goes in Turkey Main streets are named "Ataturk Boulevard." etc., and parents named their children Mustafa Kemal; our guide, for instance. A young 21-year-old guide who brought us in from the airport on our return from
Ankara, also, reminded us we could easily remember his name — “It is the same as our great leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.” Aligned With West Ataturk could easily see the future of Turkey rested with an alignment with the West. Today this country has strong ties with the West. It is this year observing its 20th anniversary as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and is desirous of becoming a member of the European Common Market. A more recent occasion to note the close ties, is this government’s desire to help us whip the stubborn drug problem in America. Most of the poppy is grown by small Turkish farmers,

EDWIN CABLE Fairfield Science Fair Champion Edwin Cable, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Cable of r 2 Syrtfcuse, was named grand champion Tuesday night of the Fairfield school science fair. His subject was Outdoor Education is For Everybody and his winning work took months of study and research with which he laid out a detailed plan to scale for putting to good use an 18-acre field laying adjacent to the school property at the edge of Benton. His drawing placed*6sß trees and shrubs on the tract, one pond and several to be developed, including ideas of bringing back wild life to this area. Protection and windbreak areas, were also involved. Young Cable, 16-years-of-age, is president of the science club
as a four-way cash crop. With a considerable amount of subsidy from the American taxpayer ($35 million in the next five years), the Turkish government hopes to redirect the agricultural thrust of this country. And, let there be no mistake, no one is saying this will not be a tough problem to lick. When the young General Mustafa Kemal took over the reigns of a broken down government in 1923 \he made as his slogan "Peaceat home, peace in the world.” J It appears from what we have seen in our short visit here, he has kept his promise — and more too.

Meat Is Important
County Extension Service MRS. ANN HANCOOK Since meat is an important part of the diet and is served at every meal in some form, it often consumes more than one fourth of the food budget. The average American consumes 180 pounds of meat a year. Stew meat and less tender roasts are the less popular cuts of meat and usually the most economical. The more tender and more expensive cuts include ribs, T-bones, club, porterhouse, and sirloin steaks. The demand for steaks and rib roasts is especially high during the cook out season. Price per pound should not be the only form of meat comparison. Some cuts contain only lean meat while others contain fat, bone, and gristle. Learn to judge how much you are paying per serving rather than just price per pound.' Price does not determine nutritive value. Meats contain high quality protein which aids in growth and repair of body tissues. Tljey also provide iron, thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin. Lean meats are much the same in value whether for tender or less tender cuts, except that pork is a better source of thiamin. Liver is especially high in many nutrients as are variety meats — kidney and heart. Dried beans and peas are valuable for many of the same nutrients and can be used in place of meat some of the time. Peanut butter is another good value price wise. Eggs and cheese also serve as meat substitutes. Two or more servings should be chosen from the meat group each day. Count as one serving —two or three ounces of lean cooked meat, fish, or poultry, two eggs, one cup cooked dry beans, one cup cooked peas, and four tablespoons peanut butter.
