Your newspaper believes that you have a right to know WHAT, and strives to find out for you. To letyou know WHERE things For the 12th straight month the cost of living has edged upward in' the United States. If this keeps on much longer, the 1958 elections, more than most, will be a pocketbook affair predominantly. The record up to now suggests that neither major party has been able f or long to hold inflationary pressures in check. But this does not necessarily persuade voters to stay put. When their pocketbook troubles mount, their natural tendency is to try something new. Other things being equal, they thus might be expected to do a fair amount of switching in 1058 unless the inflationary spiral flattens out. They work on the theory: "Evidently itj couldn't be worse, and it might be better with some new faces." Of course the Democrats already control Congress. Switching from President Eisenhower could at most only mean enlarging the Democratic margins. , And no one can guess what changes that might produce in the; handling of the inflation danger. But the citizen feeling the pinch won't go in for a detailed analysis. If he votes 'change it will be on a note of hope.

How a man can be vague about his children's ages, and still remember the batting average of every baseball player on his favorite team. How a husband can have so much to talk about when he is away from home, and so little to talk about when he is at home alone with his wife. Why a man thinks gossip is what his wife picks up at her bridge club, but news is what he picks up play-by-pla- -- at lunch.

This is on the subject of competitive athletics for children 12 years of age or younger. The report points out that competition is a natural hea'thy process and should not be denied. 'However, physical fitness is not obtained by participation In competitive athletics alone. Because of their great importance, I am quoting the conclusions: "1.

As far back as Roman times a game was played that might be considered a variation of golf! The French and Dutch also had a similar game in early times. In fact.

A form of golf was very popular In Scotland as long ago 1450. but It took 900 years for tt to develop to its present form in that country. In 1754, the Royal and Ancient Gulf Club of St. Andrews was established in Scotland, and this is the father of all golf clubs. The first golf course in the United States, the St. Andrews le Golf Club, was started as a course in 1888 at Yonkers. golf N. Y., and the first in course was built Chicago a few years later. Golf is one of the simplest games to understand and to follow. The golfer tries to propel tLe ball with a club from the tee, or starting point, into a small, sunken cup in as few area swings as possible.

Nor is the drop the result of Democratic defections primariry. In fact, Republican disappointment was even more in evidence, and the greatest falling away of all was in the Independent camp. FLAGGING FOREIGN FAITH Disquieting currents have troubled the flow of events on the international scene as well. The dragged-ou- t disarmament talks were climaxed, not by agreement, but by Russian announcement of successful intercontinental missile tests, and the discussions later ended inconclusively. A Syrian Army coup dramatized that country's unhalted drift toward Communism and the generally unresolved state of Middle Eastern5 affairs, despite the existence of the Eisenhower Doctrine. A lessening of support for Eisenhower's foreign policy has followed, most noticeably in the internationalist Northeast. During Mr. Eisenhower's first term, a chart of his standing in the public's mind would record a series of gradual declines in approval, with the public protesting a lack of decisive action on his part, followed by sudden rebounds after such eloquent gestures as his "atoms for peace" speech at the UN and the "open skies" offer at the1 Geneva Conference. The first part of that pattern, the gradually declining approval, is clearly evident nov Whether Mr. Eisenhower will .in this case make a sudden recovery of high public esteem remains to be seen.
