* conies to this desk regularly.

* "We are each other's children,
* and there can be no more
* satisfying companionship than
* we have." Older men (with

* are usually proud to have
* captured young brides, and
e are indulgent and completely

* Notwithstanding these ex-

any time.
And yet neither the farmer nor
his family can afford tn get
overly sentimental about the
livestock because the time in-
evitably comes when- age or
barn -room makes it necessary
for some of the stock to be sill.
That is the e ituation we are faced
with this morning. At this very
moment a truclt is down at the
barn loading cattle, all of whom

butcher heifers, so there should
be a few gaud steaks on the
market.
And so activity begins again
after an usually quiet week -end.
We looked for the Toronto folks
but David had a touch of stomach
flu so they didn't come. Maybe
the flu was the result of too
much excitement. His parents
took him to the Royal Winter
Fah and while they were watch-
ing the saddle horses one man
asked Dave if he would like a
ride. Dave, being crazy about
horses, was all for it. Art lifted
him on to the horse's back' and
the fellow took him around the
ring. It is doubtful if any horse
ever had a prouder mount!
As for the other small fry,
Bob took Babe and the children
to London on Sunday, their last
visit before leaving for Elliot
Lake. When that will be depends
on how soon their house will be
ready. Watching day by day
developments on a house you are
waiting to occupy must be quite
an ordeal, besides having to
move into it before it has a
chance to settle. However, you
would at least be on hand to
discover, and remedy, the weak
spots in the plaster.
Ah, there goes the truck with
ourgcattle -- a little bit of Ginger
Farm that we shall never see
again. We still have a few left,
but, not many. Among them are
our pet twin heifers, that are at
present pasturing near the back
of the house. I hate to think what
would happen these days if Part-
ner still had ten or twelve cows
to milk.

These million dollar sales of
toothbrushes, million dollar
sales of toothpaste, and countless
millions of allied dental pro-
ducts,

field for exploitation. It all be-

logical force that propels the

The youngster of five years
explains it. "Wadda yer mean,
I'm cuttin' teeth? The teeth are
cuttin' me."
As the child gets older, he is
taken for his first visit to the
dentist. The introduction is a
very simple one. The child bites
the dentist, then turns to his
mother and says. " I thought
you said he was painless. Hear
how he's yellin'?"
Then little Delphina enters
dental office. Here's a child who
bites her nails so often her
stomach needs a manicure every
hour. Detphina is only eight
years old, but she already has
so many cavities in her teeth
she must have had her mouth
open while site was passing a
shooting gallery.
While the dentist is attending.

"Yes," answered the witness.
"What did he say?"
The prosecutor leaped to his
feet and in a fit of anger de-
nounced the question as false,
misleading, tendig to incrimin-
ate an entirely innocent party,
etc. He also accused the attor-
ney for the defence ' of illegal
tactics, being an immoral per-
son, guilty of malicious practices
in daring to try to introduce
such testimony. He also ques-
tioned the legitimacy of the
attorney's birth, The defence

Who Was To 'L; lame For Pearl Harbor?
By Douglas Larsen
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON -- (NEA) --
"Why didn't I get all of the in-
tercepted Japanese messages?"
"Why did the lieutenant ignore
my radar sighting:"
"Why was the final warning
sent by Western Union instead of
the Signal Corps?"
"And why has no one ever
been punished for the shocking
neglect of Pearl Harbor which
caused close to 3,000 deaths and
virtual obliteration of a fleet
and air force?"
Fifteen years later such ones -
tions still burn in the minds of
the men to whom fate gave key
roles on that black day in Ameri-
can history,
Millionsr
of words of cnnstres-
sional testimony and steres of
books and articles -- even now
being written -- still leave some
of the vital questions un-
answered.
Interviews with those key fig-
ures who are still alive, scattered
ail over the U.S., reveal a dim-
ming at some memories, dismay
at being reminded of the mis-
takes they made, outright irri-
tation at questions which open
old wounds - and some new in-
formation.
Each one, however, has a ques-
tion or two which still gnaws
at his conscience and which, if
answered, might relieve a tor-
tured memory.
Of the nine men aroused of
negligence or blame for Pearl
Harbor in a congressional report
only four are alive. They are
Gen. George C. Marshall, who
was Army Chief of Staff; Adm.
Harold R. Stark, who was Chief
of Naval Operations; Gen. Leon-
ard T. Gerow, who was Army
Asst. Chief of Stat';, and Adm.
Husband E. Kimmel, then head
of the Pacific Fleet. All but Gen.
Marshall granted interviews for
this NRA Service review of the
event,
Those dead include Franklin D.
Roosevelt; Henry L. Stimson, his
Secretary of War; Frank Knox,
his Secretary of the Navy; Cor-
dell Hull, his Secretary of State,
and Gen. Walter C. Short, com-
mander of Hawaiian troops.
At 73, Adm. Kimmel is alert
and spry, retired with his wife
in a rambling modern home on
the edge of a golf course in Gro-
ton, Conn.
"I don't carry Pearl Harbor
around on my back any more,"
he says quietly, "but they keep
reminding me of it." Much of
his mail still concerns that day.
Ile has written a book blaming
lack al information from Wash-
ington for his having the fleet
bottled up in the harbor, making
It an ideal target.
"For example," he recalls, "on
Nov. 18, 1941, Washington de-
coded a message from Tokyo
ordering a Japanese agent to re-
port details of vessels anchored
in'Pear) Harbor. Why wasn't I
told of this?"
Ile adds:
"As late as Dec. 5, if I had all
of the information that the Navy
in Washington had, I could have
sent the fleet to sea- Even on the
morning of Dec, '7 the Navy had
time to warn me so that I could
have moved the light forces out
of the harbor and prepared for
the attack."
The man responsible for not
supplying Adm. Kimmel with
this information is Adm. Stark,
retired on a farm in Pennsyl-
vania, and also in good health
and spirits,
"1 have chosen never to an-
swer or comment on the charges
in Adm. Kimmel's book,"'he says
somewhat sadly and then adds
with some heat: "I can only say
that it's 'hindsight- - second
guessing, of which there has been
too much about Pearl Harbor,"
Joe Lockard, the soldier who
spotted the attacking Jap planes
on his radar that fatal morning,
only to have the information ig-
nored by the only officer on duty
in the warning center, is now a
draftsman in an electronics plant
in Williamsport, Pa. He's quiet -
spoken and a little reluctant to
recall the whole thing,
"It's all sort of hazy today,"
he says, "but there's no counting
the times I've wondered how
many lives might have been
saved and ships left on top of
the water if the information be-
fore my eyes on that morning
had been 'used properly."
Joe was at a radar station
called Opana. He called to re-
port a 'large pulse' on his scope
which was not accounted for by
flights of U.S. planes. On duty
in the. warning center several
miles away was Lt. Kermit A,
Tyler.
•'It's all right, there's nothing
further you can do," Tyler told
Lockard, who was then a private.
Tyler and Lockard have never
met face-to-face to this day. Ty-
ler i5 now is lieutenant Colonel in
the Air Force at Ent Air Force
Base, Colorado Springs, Colo. It's
the headquarters nI the Contin -
eine] Air Defense Command,
"I was not alarmed at Lock-
ard's message because there was
no feeling that this could be
enemy aircraft," he recalls today,
also reluctantly. "It's obviously
not a pleasant memory even after
15 years."
Explaining its effect on his
career he says, "Nearly all.of my
contemporaries are in the lieu-
tenant r'olonel or colonel grades
and there is nothing in my record
to indicate that this incident has
had any effect one way or an-
other."
Joe Lockard still wonders why
hie "big pulse" was ignored,
Former Sen. Homer Ferguson,
one of the most aggressive mem-
bers of the congressional cone.-
mittee that investigated Pear
IIarbor, is today a member of
the U.S. Court of Military Ap-
peals.
"There are many unanswered
questions about, Pearl Harbor,"
he says, "but President Tru -
man's order restricting the com-
mittee from getting at some of
the facts prevented the whole
truth from being told at the
the time.
"It's doubftul now that the pub-
lic will ever find out all about
Pearl Harbor." '
One of t he key unanswered
questions Judge Ferguson poses
is why Gen. Marshall's final
warning to Gen. Short at Pearl
Harbor on Dec. was sent by Wes-
tern Union instead of through
military channels.

Among all of the persons in-

er in Petersburg, Va., and Adm.
Stark believe that there are no
unanswered questions left today.
"It's all done and I think the
public knows all there is to
know about it," Gen. Gerow
says.

One of his favorites concerns
two cloak-and-suiters.
"How are you Cohen?" cries
Lapidus. "Where are you going?"
"Me, I'm going to Chicago."
"So am 1."
"And what business are you
in?"
"In the cloak and suit line,
Coehn. And you?"
"The same thing."
"Say, Cohen, do you remem-
ber the swell parties we used to
have at Rose Lipschitz's house
in Brooklyn?"
"Boy those were the days."
"You said it."
They talked for a while, re-
miniscing about old time, but
somehow Cohen wasn't satisfied
with this set-up, and he begins
to think to himself:
"This guy Lapidus is a cute
fellow. He tells me he's going
to Chicago, but why should he
tell me the truth? He's in the
same business. I'll bet he's go-
ing to CIeveland. Why should
he go to Cleveland? He must
be going to see Ruger Bros.
They probably are going to give
a big order of dresses and he's
trying to get the whole thing.
"No, that can't be. He's a
pretty prosperous manufacturer;
he wouldn't go to see Ruger
himself. He'd send a salesman.
Maybe he's going - to Milder
Bros.? Na, they ain't buying
anything this season, their buyer
just left New York. Then it
must be Lipschitz and Son. ,
But then, again, he wouldn't go
himself; he'd send a salesman.
Say, wait a minute.... That
old man Lipschitz is Rose Lip-
schitz's father. the girl he used
to go with in Brooklyn. I'll bet
he's still nuts about Rose. I'll
bet he's going there to get en-
gaged to be married to Rosie."
With a sly smile be turns to
his friend.
"Congratulations, Lapidus."
"How did you know?" cries
Lappie, amazed.
"I t was obvious," says Cohen.
diet tsar Et?
The human body is in a quan-
dary today. Millions of adver-
tising dollars teach us to eat
our .vitamins and put weight on
ourselves, More millions of ad-
vertising dollars, particularly
the institutional ads of the large
insurance companies, warn us
of the pitfalls of fat.
What are we to do?
Exceed the feed limit?
Or take that most difficult
exercise of all, lean against the
table and push it way with all
our might?'
Usually the mirror, not the
doctor, tells us what to do. If
we become as broad as a quarter
past nine or, as J. B. Priestley
describes it, a vast waddle of
womanhood, we turn to diet.
And the comforting assurance
• we get from this discipline is
furnished by Paulette Goddard.
.She says that if a girl doesn't
watch her figure, the boys won't.
