A new system of land gestures whereby the child deaf from birth will think and ex- !press himself in terms of words pro- 'duced by gestures has been devel- oped by Sir Richard Paget, 78-year- old British lawyer and physicist. Sir Richard, who has spent 13 years compounding his new sign language for the education of chil- dren born deaf, a task involving the 'study of primitive gestures, in many parts of the world, demonstrated 150 ;of the 3,000 signs in the vocabulary 'to the anthropology section of the British Association for the Advance- ment of Science. With his hands, fingers and arms moving slowly, he spoke in the sign sentences which he said a child of four could express in the new sys- tem. "We all went to the animal en- closure at. the zoo. The monkeys made us laugh. The keeper fed the sea lions with fish. I wish you could have seen it." Sir Richard announced he was proposing to try the experiment of educating a small group of young children deaf from birth by habitu- ally speaking to them in the sign language, which is totally different from finger spelling. Instructors will encourage the deaf children themselves to speak 'in the system, in which every sign is the equivalent of a spoken word. "A normal child of five has a vocabulary of 2,000 words," Sir Richard said, "and a deaf child leads also to dumbness and mental retardedness. "If the child deaf from birth has a normal vocabulary of 2,000 of these signs he should be able to learn to lip read as well as the child who has become deaf after learning to speak. "We can give him a language which is as easy to acquire as a v.tspoken language is to the hearing child." Loans for Rice Growers Arranged by Government WASHINGTON. Because of re- cent declines in prices, the agricul- ture department set up a govern- ment loan program designed to as- sure rice growers not less than 90 per cent of the parity price of their 1947 crop. The department's Commodity Credit corporation will offer grow- ers loans on rice at rates averagib.g $1.69 a bushel for rough rice at the farm or at approved country ware- houses. Officials said this average is equivalent to 90 per cent of the July 15 parity price of $1.88. Under farm laws, the government is required to support grower prices, at not less than 90 per cent of parity for a pe- riod ending December 31, 1948. Take Fire to Firehouse; It Works Okay With Trolley PHILADELPHIA. A fire came to the firehouse here. When flames broke out on a rear seat of a trolley car, James Brown, a passenger, directed the motor- man to the nearest engine company headquarters, three blocks away. Brown dashed into the firehouse, grabbed a hand extinguisher and put out the blaze. -ir Polio Strides (Continued from page 1) the drive. Mira pointed out that rising costs have created a tre- mendous problem in the fight against the disease, as m all other phases of living. "The dime grows smaller in purchasing power every day." he asserted, "and if we are to meet the ascending scale, of our obligations we must all give more than ever before to the March of Dimes."

Our Country '^7 '' Right or Wrong FIRST CATCH YOUR DOCTOR Proponents of coml)pulsory health insurance have made extravagant claims and promises -which, in the view of experts, are impossible of fulfillment. For example, it has been said that the Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill would make possible, a complete physical examina- tion each year for everyone covered. Yet, if our 125,000 practicing physicians were each to spend their full working time of 2000 hours a year oh physical for all the people, they would have less than two hours to devote to each person-and there wouldn't be a single physician to help the sick! New Zealand's compulsory medical system is an example of unfulfilled promises. The New Zealand law says, in effect: "If you can find a doctor who will treat you on the terms laid down by the social insurance law, we will foot the bill." It works out that is now a problem of "first catch your doctor." Involution: A woman making a monkey out of a man. BANKERS HAVE RESTORATION IDEA When American bankers get together on a plan for combatting inflation, there should be some immediate results. And at this time there is a movement of the organized banking inter- ests of the count y to go along with the gov- crnim went's efforts to prevent further develop- ment of a menace that could damage most seri- ously all that the nation. now enjoys in material prosperity. In Ne\v York, the other day, Joseph Dodge, president of the American liankers Associa- tion. gave publicity to the association's general anti-inflation program for the year now be- .gun ( and in that program is at least one pro- p)sal to lie commlended1 most highly by the nul)lic at large. That is that banks this year, and so long as llay be nlLecessary. give priority to borrowers liho can-'and v. ill turn out supplies and serv- ices presently needed here and abroad-and at the same time to cur) the letting of money to interests withholding essential goods from normal market channels in anticipation of an advance of prices. And loans for expensive non-essential developments are to be dis- couraged. In this the American .Bankers Association lays out a simple policy of encourtagement to production-the one thing most strongly em- phasized by President T'Iruman's anti-inflation advisory committee as essential to a restora- tion of normal price levels. More of the same disposition and action on the part of business and financial interests in general can do much to this end. There is noth- ing of the spectacular "campaign" method in the bankers' plan. It is just plain American common sense.-Florida Times-Union. Florida has a forest fire "season" as well as one for tourists. The difference is that while visitors bring wealth into the state, forest fires destroy it. If you can laugh at yourself, there's hope.

That's why the sky looked bluer, the clouds looked whiter as they lay arm in arm on the fresh green grass. "Just think," said Ann. "Tomor- row at this time I'll be Mrs. Ter- rence Patrick O'Halloran." "Sure and the O'Hallorans were always lucky," Terry exclaimed, mimicking his grandfather. After the wedding it was grand fun going together to the little white frame house they had se- elected. Most of Minute their savings Fiction had gone into the modestly furnished little place. But it was a home. Theirs. Then Marianne was born. A sweet pale baby but so' delicate. It took a great deal of skimping to meet all the expenses. They lived simply and Ann knew how to get the most out of every- thing. Right in 'the middle of this eco- nomical but ecstatic heaven of theirs a thunderbolt crashed. Terry lost his job. But youth is not easily discour- aged. Terry set out to' find another job. He was eager to work. He was sure to find something better. His enthusiasm wavered tlowever after several weeks. Too many, "Sorry, young fellow, but we're not taking anyone on." Back home evenings with Ann though, he was optimistic, "I've got a good. prospect tomorrow," he would say, and Ann's answer in- variably would be. "Don't worry Terry. We've still got a little money in the bank." Terry thought to himself, how little it was. ANN tried to keep her worries from him too. She didn't tell him that there was going to be an- other baby, until it was impossible to keep it a secret any longer. He took her in his arms. "Ann darling, it's wonderful." But he couldn't keep the note of despair out of his voice as he said. "if it's 4 boy, I hope he's a better success than I am." Their money dwindled down to nothing. Debts piled high. They lost their little home. They moved to a smelly, dank tenement. But they weren't discour. aged yet. The future surely held something good for them. But Terry gradually declined; pulled himself into a shell. Ann was sweet arid' kind. Terry misunder- stood. He thought she grieved. He brooded. There was only the one way out. Suicide. It would look like an accident. GAS would be the best way. He planed the whole thing stealth- ily. He knew he was a coward. But he had to do it. He couldn't bear to see Ann go on this way any longer. j;"LCopyrighted Material '- Y.? Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" 44 It was the way he always had loved to wake up. The $1,000 insurance would mean Ann could go to a hospital when the baby was born. After that he couldn't think of any more. His opportunity came quicker than he had expected. That night "Oh, how did. you know?" tioned Ann. "I dieln't -ant to tell but z'e cal have it turned on to rou'. They were really very / waiting until after supper time."
