Great thoughts flow from its

Between book binding, magazine

With recent memories of
White House dogs that bit a
CongresSwoman and a CORES
pondent, it is we'll to know about
the penchant of Governor and
Mrs. Winant of New hampshire.
They say in New England
that Governor Winant, having
ended the textile strike, may
possibly convert his success into
the sort of boost that Calvin
Coolidge got out of his alleged
settlement Of the Boston police
strike.

at some unforeseen date might
come to live at the White House.

three Boston bulls. And Mrs.
Winant, with 10 Sealyhams al

land considering the purchase

fancy monogram to night club
on Tuesday. He also wore a
full white blouse, a flowing black
tie and pumps. Now, here was
q faStidiouS costume.
The Maryland girls with whom
he stepped out on the dance
floor thought he looked "cute."
Maybe he did. Anyhow, he
danced, so they tell me, with the
merry abandon of the more
than-Slightly-bald."
