Messer The Salt Lake Tribune, Monday, November 18, John Llovd The Neighbors Americans Help English Village To Resist Onrush of Progress t But the development, with Its attendant publicity, has at least brought Godaiming's case to their further attention Special to The Trioune You may be interested in tliis little story of how an old English town has benefited from an extraordinary example of American aid. Let me introduce you, then, to a gem of antiquity in the delighta town that ful Surrey countryside takes pride in its narrow High street and Qu..int age worn buildings. It is pleasant to think that such places survive. Godalming has grown, begrudgingly, over the centuries to a size of 18,000, but you can still look a few paces back from its double row of neat modern shops and cotsee the old Tudor and tages, and beyond them a pretty pattern of greenery. You are only an hour from London, but there is all the difference in the world in that short distance and you realize why Godalmiar.s are intent on preserving that difference. It happens that two and a third centuries ago Gen. James Oglethorpe, of the Oglethorpes who owned a fine big residence in this picturesque town, traveled over land and sea and founded the American colony of Georgia. Went Its Own Quiet Way LONDON Tha President has a new grandchild. Hisjgrardfatherly pride was much in evidence as he told reporters the news and handed out cigars. There was candy for the ladies. There was also a picture of the President viewing the infant in the hospital nursery. One could well imagine that he was attempting as most parents to elicit a smile and grandparents do from the newborn infant. Are there any hazards in being a new grandchild? Indeed there are. The first for the child to overcome is that of simple fatigue and overstimulation. conThe infant is expected to perform and on cue smiling cooing by stantly for his adult audience. The less inclined he is to perform, the harder die adults will work to elicit the desired response. d But an infant has just so many smiles available in any given day. Unfortunately, some grownups tend to be unaware of this fact, particularly grandparents. Older persons will often go to the ends of the earth to get the new grandchild to smile or gurgle. Someone should gently remind them that perhaps the infant is tired, and that his should not be taken personally as rejection or dislike. . Can you imagine what would happen If infants did not occasionally smile and coo at the parents? One can only sympathize with parents whose child Is a for there are few satisfactions in life, or few rewards as great, as this type of communication between parent and offspring. non-smili- non-smil- One note of caution. Parents who conon disstantly put their young child him condition play 'may inadvertently always to seek the limelight. He comes to expect a great deal of attention, and is only content when he is center stage. He may 'well come to think of himself as a stage actor giving a series of performances.' Fortunately there is a corrective. As the child grows older, his peers will let hint know in dear and loud tones that bethey do not look kindly on this kind of havior. It is a painful lesson, but It has to be learned: the sooner the better. The Weather : And You MlfeJw'WbtaaB JSSS him I smashed a fender and he didn't even grunt!

Mrs. Johnson is naturally cautious and charitable. She tends to yank the muscle from strong phrasing. If she can be persuaded to permit the President to tell a straight forward revealing story, LBJ is bound to make the r at, say, a guarantee.

Godalming, meanwhile, pursued its tranquil way. Now, suddenly, a horrible fate stales Godalmians in the face. The countrys road planners are bent on driving a three-lan- e highway direct through the town, paralleling the High street and running roughshod through the charming old mill district. It is bad enough to find, in this modern age, that heavy interborough traffic forces you back on the narrow sidewalks in fear for life and limb, but to learn that your town is going to be cut in half for the benefit among other things of a constant procession of articulated trucks is beyond the pale. People First Campaign have been holding protest meetings and have been hanging in their windows signs reading: People first in Godalming; no road through our history! And a plea went forth across land and sea to the state of Georgia to come to Godaimings aid. It isnt thought, of course, that the state of Georgia would actually interfere in the domestic affairs of a friendly nation, but word has been published here that a Godalming day may be declared there and this is held to be a gesSo Godalmians Just nn iry And Stop Me By Bennett Cerf QUOTABLE: Never look behind you: something Satchel may be gaining on you.

In the matter of word usage, the President has faith in his wifes opinions. He told me that he would not make a speech of any sort without first reading it to her in his bedroom. He accepted her judgment in the matter of alterations because she has a degree in journalism.
