Buying At Home . . .
UYING AT HOME is much like the Golden Rule — "What
soever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to
them”
Everybody recommends it for everybody else, but . . . the sad
fact that some folks who preach buying at home don’t practice it
much, doesn’t keep it from being a wise habit. There always will
be people who regularly stand in their own light, even when they
know better.
Unlike the Golden Rule, the principle of buying at home has
few moral aspects. It’s just a matter of good hard dollars and cents,
and fuller living.
Because somebody else does . , , or doesn’t ... is no good
reason to give away what is ours. Yet that is just what we’re doing
when we spend our money off somewhere else, with the excuse
that our neighbors are doing it.
Let’s quit watching them, and examine our own habits, re
minding ourselves selfishly that of each dollar we spend, nearly
one-third goes to pay for community progress and upkeep.
But it’s no soup in our pot, no schools for our kids, no
churches for our souls, nor increment for our property, if it is
some other community.

Orbit Flight
(Continued from Page 1)
It was not long in coming, really
—though to millions of key-up ob
servers it seemed an eternity. A
homing beacon, part of the Mer
cury spacecraft rescue equipment,
caught the attention of a Navy
Neptune search plane 41 minutes
after the capsule had gone silent
on re-entry.
At 1:20 p.r«, the Navy craft
to send out the glad news that the
astronaut was aboard his raft,
waving his arms vigorously and
therefore apparently in good
health.
At Grand Turk — the same is
land to which Glenn was taken
after his Mercury flight — Car
penter was met with an embrace
by Glenn and a warm handshake
by another fellow astronaut, Navy
Cmdr. Walter M. Schirra.
Glenn pressed his cheek against
Carpenter's, then turned and
brushed tears from his eyes.
At the hospital to which Car
penter was taken, he was quoted
as exulting, “Boy, the sunrises and
sunsets. They are more beautiful
than anything I’ve ever seen on
this earth.”

DBA A WITH CONFIDENCE AT
Green’s City Fuel and Tri
Space Ride
Thrills Millions
Around the World
By the Associated Press
News of Lt. Cmdr. Malcolm Scott
Carpenter’s space ride crackled
around the world Thursday in
broadcasts and press dispatches.
Millions were thrilled.
“Another great success.” said the
London Evening Standard. “It
proves that if America can send
up only little ships she can send
them up thick and fast.”
Many Europeans kept close
to their radios to here the play-by
play directly from Cape Canaveral.
Radio Free Europe beamed the
story across the Iron Curtain to
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary,
Romania and Bulgaria.
Japan’s semi-official broadcast
ing company interrupted its TV
and radio programs to broadcast
the launching.
Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin,
visiting at Osaka, Japan, expressed
good wishes for Carpenter and
told a cheering crowd of 5,000 “the
Soviet Union dreams of the day
cosmonauts of various nationalities
will be riding in the same space
ship.”
Brazilian leaders were among the
first foreign officials to eommerit.
President Joao Goulart called the
flight “a substantial contribution
to the future of science, humanity
and the cause of world peace.” Ex
pressing a similar view, Premier
Tancredo Neves said Brazilians in
all walks of life followed the ex
cursion in space “with emotion and
enthusiasm.”
Hamburg listeners included a
movie group — Sophia Loren,
Frederic March and Robert Wag
ner. They took off an hour from
shooting “The Condemned of Al
tona” to follow the early phases
of Carpenter’s cruise. This break,
said a publicity man, cost the com
pany about $20,000.
The first news the Russians got
that there was another manned
American space ship aloft was in
a 100-word account distributed by
the Tass News Agency soon after
Carpenter blasted off.
Radio Moscow' made the story
the fifth item in its newscast. This
item was terse, factual and with
out comment.
TROOPS GET AMMO
BANGKOK, Thailand UP) — U.S.
infantrymen got cartridges yester
day for the rifles they have been

of ammunition to the 1st Battle
Group, 27th Infantry.
The battle group of 1,000 men—

giraffes,” IATA says.
