Sensitise To Change.
011, as the saying goes, is where
you find it. But when the commo-
dity involved is relatively scarce,
when More than hauling drilling
rigs across an ocean or a contin-
ent is required, even then the enter-
prise system has displayed the same
Impressive ability to roll with the
Punch.
During World War IT, it will be
recalled, all the rubber of South-
east Asia fell to Japan. Yet before
long there was enough synthetic,
pieced out by supplies of the natur-
al commnditty from Ceylon, India
and Africa, to serve the greatest
armies and air fleets in history. Silly,
another early casualty, soon was re-
placed by nylon in parachutes and
hosiery and today is rarely seen on
a feminine leg , . , what we are con-
cerned with is demonstration of a
simple truth about the nature of
capitalism: it cannot be throttled by
turning a wheel as an oil well can
be shut off. It is as sensitive to
'ehange as a chameleon, as flexible
,45 a steel spring.
What's more, capitalism comes
by these qualities honestly. For it
it, after all, dependent not on a mas-
ter plats but on the decisions of
many individuals, made on the
basis of cold and ever-changing
calculations of profit and loss in
abilting markets. For this reason it
exploits to the full applied science.
1'n a rigid planned society, instead
of developing the forebear of to-
day's 200,000 k.w. generator James
;Watt might have let his kettle boil
away forever.
Finally, and not by chance, capi-
talism has flourished through com-
merce and the use of the seven seas.
'unlike the . bear, it is a sea
creature, and the sea offers all kinds
�pf alternatives unknown to the land.
A train must stop when its track
ill destroyed; a ship can alter its
course at the twist of a rudder. If
'tankers can't call at Abadan, they
will put in at Kuwait, Ras Tamura,
La Guaira, or Houston. From

De Way Traffic
Three young Poles and a girl
successfully escaped from Poland
to Sweden the other day in a
hone -made airplane. ,This was the
fourth escape to Sweden in a single
month.
All along the iron curtain there
is a constant trickle of people will-
ing to take the enortnous risks and
the bleak uncertainties rather than
submit longer to Muscovite
tyranny.
And, of course, we hear only of
a few who are successful. How
anany others have' tried and failed
to penetrate the wall of barbed and
electrified fences, bloodhounds and
guards with olders to shoot on
eight?
Jia s' pleasant it woul4t be if we
in Canada Could develop some
traffic the other way. Why don't
the local comrades fly to Moscow
—and stay there?
He Missed Third—A hatless, breathless Willie Mays crosses home plate in the second inning; appar-
ently the owner of an inside -the -park home run. But Umpire Babe Pinelli ruled him out because
he failed to touch third base. Philly Pitcher Robin Roberts is at left, and Giant Catcher Wes Westrum,
the next batter, is looking toward third, possibly hoping Willie's error of omission would pass un-
noticed.
Remaking A Farm
In Just One Day
On the picturesque Verde River
near Cottonwood, Arizona, is a 35 -
acre irrigated farm that belongs to
Robert t. Hardgrave, a disabled
veteran. The idea of remaking a
farm in a day was the same here as
in the humid East, but the con-
ditions were different.
The supervisors of three Verde
Valley districts — Oak Creek,
Bridgeport, and Camp Verde—
picked out what they believed was
the most farmed -out, run-down,
depleted place in the entire valley,
as offering the most worthly chal-
lenge to the ingenuity of soil con-
servationists. This farm also offer-
ed a good stage on which to ac-
quaint a large number of people
with the importance of both soil
and water conservation and with
the methods best suited to valley
land in Arizona and similar areas.
Seventy-three manufacturers and
dealers in tractors and farm equip-
ment agreed to donate the use of
their machines, and the job de-
veloped into one of the largest
farm -machinery demonstrations in
the history of the Southwest. Con-
tractors offered to donate the use
of their equipment. Supply houses
would furnish needed materials,
Farmers, laborers, high school
youths and Boy Scouts volunteered
to work, Carloads of equipment and
materials were shipped into the
area from as far away as 800 miles,
The district conservationist and his
technical staff got busy with plann-
ing.
Each man and boy among the
volunteers knew every detail of his
job as a result of tedious briefing in
advance by the technical staff and
the district supervisors. A lone wo-
man tractor operator did a master-
ful job of land leveling.
Up came a model farm, At day's
end it had bench terraces, and an
irrigation ditch lined with water -
saving concrete by machinery which
did 600 feet of lining in twenty
minutes, Another ditch was lined by
a spray gun and a third was oil -
lined. There was a large storage
reservoir scooped out by a giant
bulldozer, designed to save time and
labor in irrigating and to provide
fishing and other recreation. The
course of the Verde River had lit-
erally been changed by the sante
bulldozer, and given steambank
protection against badly eroding
land,
Spectators saw just about every-
thing done that is needed on an
irrigated farm, such as plowing and
floating of fields, installation of
concrete and corruguated iron pipes
and irrigation structures. They saw
post -stole diggers at work, a me-
chanical trencher, a sprinkler irriga-
tion system installed, and siphons.
House and barn were given a coat
of paint. A garden site was pre-
pared, an orchard planted, rose and
other flowers set out around the
house.
The owner, a veteran wounded at
Metz, in the wink of a day saw
done a complete conservation job
that would have -taken him ten
years to accomplish alone.—From
"Big Hugh": "The Father of Soil
Conservation," b y Wellington
Brink.

The Fading Season
Sumner begins to fade. Not as
colors fade, or as beauty fades in
a face, but as a day past midafter-
noon begins to fade away toward
evening, The peak is past, the lusts
and eager growth that surges out
of spring reaching toward matur-
ity. Much of the flowering is ac-
complished and the fruiting is at
hand, The leaves, whose prime
function is growth and the sus-
tenance of growth, begin to look a
little worn; their job is all but
done for another year. The grass
]reads ripen. Milkweed thickens its
pods. Asters begin to bloom, and
goldenrod, the festoons of early
autumn.'
You see a more pronounced 'lush
of scarlet in- the sumac clumps.
Sumac is no reliable index, to be
sure; one frond will turn in an
otherwise normal clump even in
Jane. But when Whole' clumps be-
gin to put on -rouge, something is
happening to the season. From a
distance, the. dogwoods seem un-
touched; but Game closer. and you
see the age -lines in the leaves,
the red veining of October. And
even more significant, the buds for
next season's dogwood bloom are
already formed there on the twigs.
The elms have been ragged for
several weeks, but now they am
shedding those first leaves, not all
of them insect casualities, which
fall before the color change strikes
the whole tree. Even the 'maples
begin to look weary and dusty;
their leaves have lost that gloss
which was theirs when the chloro-
phyll was new and full of vigor,
Little, signs, the lesser signals of
a season's change. The green pro-
cesses are slowing down; ripening
accelerans:" And earliest of all to
recognize this are the insects, At
summer's peak they were loud, but
with a lazy overtone of satiety,
Now they ,are insistently 1pud, The

Modern Etiquette
tt. Are there any certain oc-
casions when a man precedes the
woman he is accompanying?
A. Only when the way Is Uncer-
tain or dangerous, such as when
pushing their way through a bois-
terous crowd. I -Is also procedes
her when alighting from a vehicle, so
that he can better assist her in
alighting.
Q. Is it proper to eat the lettuce
on which a salad is served? •
A. It certainly is all right. The
lettuce is as intch a part of that
salad as any other of the ingredi-
ents,
Q. Is it good form to mail a
wedding invitation to "Miss Shirley
Smith and Brother?"
A. Never. The correct procedure
is to nail a separate invitation to
each of these persons.
Q. Is a woman always supposed
to be seated at a table to the right
of her male companion?
A. When practical, yes, The few
definite rule about it include the
seating of a guest of honor on the
right of the host or hostess or
chairman, and the military rule by
which the senior officer walks as
Well as sits on his junior's right.
Q. When a marriage engagement
has been broken, isn't a girl entitled
to consider the gifts and engage-
ment ring her former fiance has
given her as belonging to her?
A: No; good form requires that
she return all these.
Q. Is it proper to mail out for-
mally engraved invitations to a
christening?
A. No; only the fancily and inti-
mate friends are invited,
Q. On formal occasions, when
many people are present, is it es-
sential that any one person be in-
troduced to every member of the
group?
A. No. An arrival may be intro-
duced to one or two persons, or he
may be left to talk with those near-
by without exchanging names.
Q. Should a person insist upon
giving a tip in a restaurant that ob-
serves a "no tipping" rule?
A. No, It is not only unneces-
sary to give a tip, but it is incon-
siderate to the management for one
to insist upon breaking rules.
Q. What jewels, if any, should
the bride wear for her wedding
ceremony?
A. Only the gift from the bride-
• groom.
Q. Would it be proper to write
a note of condolence to the parents
of a friend who has died, even if
you do not know the parents?
A. There is never anything im-
proper about any act of thought-
fulness and sinceretI'.
Q. Who really bows first when
meeting, the woman or the man?
A. In Europe a man is supposed
to bow to a woman first; in Amer-
ica, the woman is supposed to bow
first. Hoverer, few people today
observe this formality. And after
all, if. friends know each other well
enough, it makes 310 difference who
snakes the first greeting.
Smear Campaign
In Washington
Digging out and exposing cam-
mttrfists and their stooges is a
worthy piece of public safely work.
But some of the U.S. activities
on the join are scandalous. As the
U.S. representative of The Econ-
omist of Lundoi puts it:
"It is a technique which shocks
many decent -minded Americans be-
cause it seeks to dress the._ com-
mittee hearings in something like
the robes—or at least the language
—of a court -of law and yet stakes
nonsense of the accepted practices
of legal procedure,"
It was at the current (\1cCarran)
"spy trial" that one of Canada's
senior officals got the Communist
tag.
The meetings of the U.S. Senate
subcommittee are supposed to be
secret, but, since politics and pub-
licity are of such great importance
to the probers, a lot of news gets
out.
The Canadian public is glad to
have the assurance of Ottawa that
there was no justification whatever
for the allegation or insinuation
that E. Herbert Norman of our
Department of External Affairs is
or was a Communist or a sym-
pathizer,
How• slid the Normanname come

ship from the Institute of Pacific
Affairs. That body formed a long

was originally no more Communist
than the girl guides of Omenlee.
Only in recent years did Commun-
ists and their sympathizers succeed
in becoming influential in Institute
affairs.
That the Institute has had some
Communists is true. That all its
members arc Communists like say-
ing all men are Scotsmen.
From one intimate with the
Washington goings-on we had the
following:
"Finding out about Communists
and especially those in positions of
influence is fine, but that's only
a very minor part of what's really
behind circuses of the McCarthy-
1'feCarran kind. These things are
all part of the 'get Truman' drive.
The sante thing is true of the tear
on Acheson, He's one of the best
men we've ever had in that job
but smearing hien helps, they
think, in the war on Truman, Until
after the election you' can expect
that politics will dominate every-
thing."
If wise decisions on grave mat-
ters affecting the whole world can
emerge from this hocus-pocus, we
will be lucky indeed,
