Sex Edacttion Claw Offered by Minuter

Parents may apply to enroll their boys, simply by writing or tele-phoning Mr. Hoornstra. There will be no fee of any kind; the boys are to furnish their own tablets ,-r notebooks.

The three class sessions will be-gin at 4:00 p. m., and will last about 45 minutes each. They will be held in the Junior Auditorium of the Church of the Nasarene. The three topics to be considered are: (1) This Body We Live In; (2) What Is Sex Anyway?; and (8) Dating, Love and Marriage. Mr. Hoornstra says that these lessons are arranged in such a manner that all of the basic "facts of life" are presented in a simple and understandable man-ner. Every question which the boys may ask will be answered accurately.

In announcing this class, Mr. Hoornstra says he Is more con-fident than ever, that In today's world a truthful understanding of sex is one of the greatest assets a boy can possess. I t helps the boy to understand himself and his growing, changing tody; this in turn helps prevent a warped atti-tude toward sex, and leads to greater success and happiness In his life.

In perpetuating and memorial-ising the accomplishments and sacrifices of the men who served In World War B. the ClarkJCIIIs Post 162 of the American Legion Insists that the structure will afford rec-reational activities for all of the cltlsens of the entire community. In addition to providing facilities for a Memorial room, club rooms and bowling alleys, the building will eventually house a large ban-quet hall and auditorium which will be available to all groups. It is also expected that the old East Ward school building, which belongs to the Legion, will be remodeled Into quarters which will be suitable for many group meetlongs.

The pro-gram will actually be a continuing effort Including the ImmunlEation of children as soon as they reach the proper age, the giving of boost-er shots when the children reach school age, and when there is dan-ger of an epidemic; and the per-iodic reimmunizatlon necessary to afford complete protection against the diseases.

While Michigan has made great strides In the prevention of diph-theria an4 whooping cough In the past two decades, the fact remains that there are no more than a half dosen counties in the entire state which are adequately immunised to prevent an epidemic of diph-theria, and that whooping, cough is appearing at a rate of more than 200 cases a week.

In the past twenty yean diph-theria deaths have been cut from 516 a year to 27 a year and whoop-ing cough deaths from 201 to 44, but both could be cut to Eero In the next two decades, through ade-quate Immunisation.

She was first trapped and tagged at Cuslno February 22, 1935, when she was at least two years old. Now she Is at least 18 years old, possibly older.

Because she avoided the live-traps for a dosen years there can only be speculation on how many fawns she has had and on whether she spvint all her winters at Cu-slno, or traveled.

Dr. Sutton Is a past President of the Wilson Ornithological Club, a director of the American Ornith-ologists Union of Canadian and American Ornithologists and one of the editors of the Audobon ma-gasine.

Dr. Sutton was presented by Milton Fuller, program chairman for the day. Those who heard his talk wish that he might return to Lowell sometime in the future for a full length lecture.

Gangrene Cure. A new treatment has resulted in curing a number of persons who were afflicted with gangrene and who faced amputa-tions because of it. The treatment consists of injections of synthetic vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and

histidone, one of the amino acids that are building blocks of protsln. Patients are relieved of pain and the gangrenous process subsides with this therapy. The results make the method worthy of fur ther investigation, the scientists be-lieve.

1,170,000 employea, repraaented by nine-i uniona. But these three uniona, rep-nting only 126,000 men, are trying to

get mora. They are demanding alao many new working rules not embraced in the Battlement with the conductors and train-

labor diaputes. It aeema unthinkable that these three aniona,

representing ieaa than 10 per cent of railroad

employea, and those among the highest paid, can successfully maintain the threat of a par-alyzing strike agalnat the Interest of the en-tire coostry—and agalaat N per cent of tkdr fellow employea.

Incidentally, the Switchmen'a Union of North America represents only about 7% of all railroad awitchmen, the other 93% being repreeented by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and covered by the aettlement with that union.

tike ballot while negotiations were still progress. Thia is not a secret vote but ia

taken by union leaden and votes are signed by the employea in the presence of union representatives.

When direct negotiations failed, the leaders of these three uniona refuaed to

^n the railroads in asking the National ediation Board to attempt to settle the

dispute, but the Board took jurisdiction at the request of the carriers and haa been earnestly attempting since November 24, 1947, to bring about a settlement. The Board on January 16, 1948, announced its inability to reach a mediation settle-ment. The leaders of the unions rejected tbs request of the Mediation Board to arbitrate. The railroada accepted.

The New Security Bond h Your Chance to Help Lick Inflation

•y Om* — r

"American lecurity is TOUR ae-curlty."

That 's tha theme of a sura way to beat Inflation. It 's alao the best protection known against a aaver« shock of deflation.

The other day we received an urgent Invitation from tha United States Treasury department, i i t conference waa to be held in Chi-cago. Newspapers were balog call-ed upon for a resumption of i raf -tlme patriotic service. Ths stakes were high: Survival of the Amer-ican system of free enterprise itself.

What was It all about? Wsll. here's the atory.

The cost of modern war ia tre-mendous. I t skyrocketed our na-tional debt to 279 bllllona a t the close of World War 11. Today, It Is 257 billions. The Interest load alone Is S bllllona each year, |S,000 every minute of the day and night, every day In the year.

Rising price of foodatuffa and clothing, has prompted many bond-holders—those families In the low Income earning group—to turn In their bonds for cash.

During the war these families couldn't buy radios, washing g>u-chincs, and other things for their homes. Credit was restrlotad hy government. You couldn't by dia-mond rings on credit. You had to pay cash.

And so Americans bought war bonds and, a f te r the war, savings bonds. We waited until tha post-war day when this bright new mer-chandise would be available. And, If you have been In department stores recently, you will agree that we Americans have been spandfng our money pretty freely. Christmas sales were the highest yet, and re-tall Inventories are fairly low.

And yet, despite our rush to buy goods, we—the American p e o p l e -hold a nestegg of 46 billion dollars In Uncle Sam's bonds. That ' s a lot of money. I t Is ths beat bulwalk available to cushion ua against the shock of depreaslon.

—

And ao the Treasury Department, in cooperation with retailor and Industrial leaders and farmers , is going to ask us to return to w»ar-tlme saving as a way to lick In-flation. Instead of buying things we could get along without, wa are asked to Invest In Security Bonds of the United States government. Yes, that 's tha new name for them.

The Security bond campaign is to open February 16 In Michigan. I t will close June 10.

A recent poblic opinion survey disclosed that 18 per cant of in-dustrial workers were dissatisfied with the American free enterprise system, and another 22 percent ware

"on the fenoe," neither favorable nor unfavorable.

This minority could become a majority. If the nation were to be plunged Into a long depression. Dictatorships thrive when people are willing to trade freedom for food.

How can the effects of the bus-iness cycle be cushioned? Firs t by saving money for the proverbial rainy day. Save!

That 's why the new Security bond la your security.
