CHARACTER DESTROYER
F rmer Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas re
cently made a comment regarding Abraham Lincoln
that mikes good sense. Said he:
“Had Abraham Lincoln been living today, the
Rotary Club would supply him with a set of books;
the L;ins Club with a good reading lamp; the Cos
mope itan Club with writing equipment; and the Ki
WanH Club with a wooden floor for the cabin.
“He would have the protection of child labor
insur nee. A kindly philanthropist would send him
to college with a scholarship.
“'Incidentally, a case worker would see that his
father received a monthly check from the county.
He would receive a subsidy for rail splitting, an
other one for raising a crop that he was going to
raise anyway, and still another subsidy for not rais
ing a crop he had no intention of raising..
“Result: There would- be NO Abraham Lincoln!”
Governor Alleh recognizes what all too many
Americans today do not realize: that doing for one’s
self and overcoming handicaps build character—that
the “soft life” provided by a combination of paternal
istic government and misguided “do-gooders” de
stroys self-reliance and initiative.
THE SPIDER IN THE PAPER
The News-Herald, of Cuba City, Wisconsin, re
calls the famous answer made by Mark Twain when
he was asked if finding a spider in the newspaper
meant good luck. The writer said: “Finding a spi
der in your paper is neither good luck nor bad.
The spider was merely locking over the paper to
see which merchant was not advertising so that he
could go to that store, spin his web across the door
and lead a life of undisturbed peace afterward.”
The News-Herald adds: “It’s even more true
today. People are buying and reading more news
papers than ever before in history. Population has
increased 47 percent since 1920 ... but newspaper cir
culation has increased 94 percent.
“Almost everybody reads the newspaper. It’s one
medium people won’t do without.”
Wise producers and sellers of goods 'and services
of all kinds know that newspaper advertising is the
'best way to keep the spider and his web away!

Ladies-In-Waiting
One out of every three women
suffers from nausea or acute stom
ach upset durihg the early months
of pregnancy - and no one really
knows why. And, though “morn
ing sickness” occurs as frequently
in Europe as in America, it is un
known in the Middle-East.
Some doctors believe the rapid,
intense changes in the glandular
system may be a cause of this preg
nancy upset. NutAtional needs,
vitamin imbal
ance and emotions
' have also been im
plicated. But so
far, no one has
discovered why
some women are
affected, while
others sail un
troubled through
the first months
of pregnancy.
Wom^i — and their doctors —
are most concerned with alleviat
ing the discomfort which often
mars a period of otherwise radiant
good health. A California physi
cian, Dr. Leon P. Fox, recom
mends use of Bonadoxin before
going to sleep at night. The drug’s
effect lasts from twelve to twenty
four hours and, according to Dr.
Fox, it’s the most effective morn
ing sickness medicine he’s seen in
the last twenty-two years.
Dr. Fox tried Bonadoxin with
150 of his pregnant patients who
complained of nausea and vomit
ipg. Taking the medication once
or twice a day, eighty-five percent
of his ladies-in-waiting were com
fortable and free of symptoms.
With this anti-nausea compound,
says the California doctor, we may
be close to the solution of a per
plexing problem in obstetrics.

Hungarians Protest
When Russian Jet
Lands In Canada
VANCOUVER, B. C., UP) — A
group of expatriated Hungarians
staged a mild demonstration at
the Vancouver International air
port after arrival of the Russian
TU-104 jet airliner Friday night.
As the crew of the big Rus
sian plane entered the air ter
minal building the Hungarians
unfurled banners reading: “The
Russians deprived us of our
homes. Canada gave us new
ones,” and “Maybe the TU-104
will carry the first A-bomb over
Canada.”
Others in the dense crowd that
packed the air terminal booed the
demonstration and some tore up
a couple of the banners, but
there was no violence and the
flurry quickly subsided.

Russia Agrees
To Scientific
Talks July 1
MOSCOW, OR — The Soviet
Union has agreed to begin scien
tific exploration talks in Geneva
July 1 on ways to police any
worldwide ban of nuclear ex
plosions.
The Russian agreement came in
answer to proposals Tuesday by
President Eisenhower. Eisen
hower’s message, which followed
similar earlier proposals, avoided
a flat U. S. commitment to stop
testing atomic and hydrogen
bombs. The West has insisted
technical talks on inspection
must come first.
Russia announced in April she
was suspending nuclear tests and
challenged the West to follow
her lead. The Russians have
consistently rejected the idea of -
inspection and control and claimed
the tests could be stopped by a
simple declaration from the
atomic powers.
The Russian note said the
technical talks should be con
cluded in three or four weeks and
the Soviet position by saying the
Geneva meeting should lead to
a quick suspension of all tests.
Officials in Washington were
reported pleased by Russia’s
agreement to sit down at the time
any place suggested by Eisen
hower. Russia had proposed
any talks be conducted in Mos
cow.
