"The grass is always greener on the’other'
side of the fence." Man seems cursed to fall
victim to this fallacy every time* He is
forever harking back to better days, better
•places, and better times, While he has bo
sweat and slave, others h~ve it easy. • Think—
Oig .always of what he hasn't got, he is nev
pr happy with what-he has.
’A man who goes in for' this kind of self
iity forgets that all any of us-really have
Is,the present. The past is dead, the futurei
is not yet' and may never ‘ be.' If the present |
has its "thorny‘side, why make it worse by I
concentrating on the difficulties to the ex-|
elusion of everything else. Few are so dis-j
illusioned, so disappointed, so disgruntled!
that.they*-are totally blind to the opportun-!
itie£Jfor full, rewarding and often exciting
living that every day can bring to us.
"Seize the day," the Romans used to say.
:t is all you have. Each morning God- gives
ill of Us this shiny new gift of 24 hours to
lave ‘for our very own.'If the end of the day
firds us bored instead cf wcrk-wearyy upset
Instead of relaxed,. fe-Vup instead of fill

itely squandered our daily bread*

iieakley told Senators that theU*S*
plane was 38 miles off North Korea
wnen tne attack took place. he said
all pilots are inder orders to return
fire and take evasive action "immed
iately" if attacked.
One member of Congress called for
action to protect U.S. planes .while
carrying•out their patrol missions.
Flood-said in a letter to Franke,
NavSecy that patrol commanders shcuLd
order the fighter planes to ’’shoot
to kill” if ’‘approaching unidentified
planes failed to heed warnings to
stay away.
Many members of congress had made
angry • comments on the basis of the
crow’s statement. They called it
•'criminal’’ for U.S. Aircraft to lack
parts' for guns after countless bil
lions have been spent on defense.
There were seme cries that those re
sponsible should be court-martialled
and punished.
Defense Secretary Neil McELroy
said the Communist attack would be
treated as an isolated case of "law
less banditry" for the present, and
there would be no 'change in its Far
Eastern Operations.
