Fulton presented evidence from psychologists, juvenile judges and educators that the gory comics (Canadian circulation 5,000,000 a year v. an estimated 145 million in the U.S.) have a bad effect on children, rolled up an impressive backing of parent-teacher associations and clubwomen. The publishers unwittingly did their bit. To prove to Parliament that their books were really good clean fun, they distributed them to M.P.s Many were so aghast at them that they hustled to support Fulton...
...widower with two sons, 8 and 12, Stuempfig somehow combines his absorption in art with "generally fulfilling the job of parent. It's either work or stomach ulcers for me because if I don't paint I get sick." For the last 15 years he has been painting an average 56-hour week, alternately learning and ignoring his craft...
...Parent & Taxpayer. Last week, sparked by William McCarthy, the United Secularists were fighting their first court case. Atheist McCarthy had been thinking about it ever since the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled on the suit of Mrs. Vashti McCollum against the board of education of Champaign, Ill.

Doremus, a mechanic of East Rutherford and director of the Secularists of New Jersey, was glad to protest as a taxpayer. With Lawyer Zimel, they filed their case before Superior Court Judge Robert H. Davidson...
...Manhattan last week, an obscure company named Connecticut Boola, Inc. paid $4,500,000 to R. H. Macy & Co., to buy Macy's spanking new nine-story building in San Francisco. But there is nothing obscure about Connecticut Boola's parent: Boola is the wholly owned subsidiary of Yale University. The new owner promptly leased the store back to Macy's for 31 years and two months, at an average annual rental of $240,000. Thus Yale became Macy's San Francisco landlord...
