The free countries — if they
want to remain free — shouldn't
be beguilad by crafty Khrush-
chev’s seeming willingness to co-
operate in peace moves. Even
though Russia is in financial stra-
its, and her romance with with
Red China appears to breaking
up, it must be remembered that
Russian planes — only recently —
shot down an unarmed U. S.
plane that had strayed over East
Germany. It should also be kept
in mind that Russian planes fly
over Western territory at will and
without being molested. Sly Air.

When President Johnson an-
nounced last week that this coun-
try would continue the U-2 recon-
naissance Bights over Cuba — de-
spite Castro’s threats to shoot the
planes down — respect for that
nation mounted a little all over
the world. The president’s state-
ment that shooting down a U-2
could very well result in serious
consequences, didn't reduce the
surge of new respect. This sort of
firmness with Castro is long over-
due. What will Castro do? Noth-

The records of a New York
firm, engaged in keeping odd
statistics, reportedly show 1963 a
record year for husbands to go
“miseing.” Their- records disclose
that during 1968 seventy-five
thousand husbands left home and
forgot to return. .Many of the
abandoned wives are probably as
sjp4 or better, off but don’t rea-
lize it. Some wives seem to have
a penchant for erring and irres-
ponsible husbands.
There is considerable doubt that
the tremendous loss being absorb-
ed by the U. S. taxpayers in the
Federal Housin program, is off-
set by benefits to the building in-

on .hand, is accumulating more at
the rate of 3,000 a month and
averages a 32,009 loss on each re-

A Miatna, Florida woman, near-
ing 60, has a reason to believe thet
miracles atill happen. At nine
months of age disease blinded her.
One morning in April 1968 her
elft eye began to smart. She rub-
bed it and suddenly she could see.
One can only imagine her grati-
tude — being able to see after so
many years of darkness. Her re-
action? “I’ve had a hard life, but
it builds character; makes you
strong.” Her affliction had only
strenghtened what she already
possessed in a large portion. Ad-
versity does that to persons with
strong characters, faith and for-
titude.
•*•*!.*
Speaking of miracles: Two fam-
ous doctors recently announced a
miraculous new invention, now in
the process of development, that
is expected to provide mapy more
years of useful, living to thous-
ands of people. An articifical
heart in the form of a plastic air-
operated pump may — within
three years, if the doctors are
correct — take over when the na-
booming [ tural heart gives out. Splendid!
Buf fan a mechanical heart sei^s
as a'symbol of love, the seat of
life and home of the soul? Possi-
bly, since the brain has more to
do with these functions than the
heart. 1
A British company is said to
have devolped a new long-lasting
insecticide paint that kiUs all
kinds of insects within minute
after they and on it. The paint is
reportedly harmless to all animals
and is not affected by rain, or
storms of any kind. With the bat-
tle for survival drawn between
man and the insect world this wow
product may prove to be a timely
weapon against the hoards of 'in-
sects who seemed bent upon the
(tastruction of mankind.
