RESTRICTIONS ON
 TRUCKING PERMIT
Local Man Filling Five Contracts, Refused Ex-
 tension By Commission

The request of Willis N. Knicker- booker of Waterbury for an exten- sion of his trucking permit, in order that he might haul beer and ale for Waterbury's two brewing com panies, was denied yesterday by the public utilities commission, on the grounds that he already is under contract to haul for five companies.
 The commission warned Knicker- booker that if he took on more than five contracts he would find himself in the status of common carrier and would be required to show public convenience and necessity for his operations.
 At the present time Knicker- booker does all his work for the large trucking lines such as the Seaboard Freight Lines, Inc, and the Consolidated Motor Lines, Inc. It was pointed out that these con- cerns have the right to haul beer from Waterbury, and that possibly Knickerbocker could do the work on sub-contract from them.

This Family Doesn't Squawk---It Works

By NEA Service
 Cushing, Okla, July 12-Albert O'Dell brings home $135 a month from his job as section foreman on the MKT Railroad.
 That doesn't seem like much in these days. But the ODells make 1t cover the cost of rearing a family of children, as fine, clean, and heal thythy as you ever saw.
 A learned committee on popula- ton problems recently reported to the President that the U. s. popu- lation will reach peak In 1888, then start dwindling. But few more fathers like O'Dell could make the experts eat their words.
 Far from being dismayed as their growing family outstrips the pay envelope, the O'Dells are proud, and happy--and smart. They don't moan about burdens. They figured things out.
 To help reduce the grocery bill, they raise hogs and chickens, and cultivate large truck garden. They keep COWS to supply the fam fly with milk and butter. Like oth- CT Katy section foremen, ODell oc- cupies house furnished by the company at $5 a month. That leaves only $130 a month for all other expenses.
 So seven hogs which should yield 5000 pounds of meat for the winter are not too many. The three COWS and 150 chickens produce no sur plus for the market, but they pro- vide the family with food that the $130 probably wouldn't buy at gro- cery or meat market.
 Mrs. ODell believes in everybody taking hand in bearing the fam fly burdens. So she manages the household in such way that each child has daily chores. Lindberg and Grover drive the COWS in from pasture each afternoon. Ila does the cooking, and Ramona washes the dishes. Lucille brings in the wood for the cook stove, and the others help whenever they are needed.
 O'Dell has been section foreman for 18 years. When he comes in at night and talks about what tough time they had to clear the way for that passenger train, the whole family listens and understands. They are all dyed-in -the-wool rail- roaders and they are just as proud of O'Dell's long and unblemished record as he is of the whole fam- fly.
 As the children grow up. they want to follow in their fathers footsteps, and the two older sons, Edgar, 28, and Harold, 26, already are working for the railroad. Edgar is welder at Tulsa, and Harold is laborer at Gushing.
 The whole family has always been remarkably healthy, and no doctor has crossed the threshold except when another O'Dell was being added to the family roster.
 O'Dell smiles at an inquiry whether so large brood ever gets on his nerves. When they make too much noise I turn on the ra- dio," he explains. "If that fails to drown out the din, I turn on a second radio. If that isn't enough, I have a third :"

PICNIC MANNERS
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Table manners don't count When in the wide open spaces, And you're eating off paper plate In one of those picnic places, Where everybody settles down Each one anxious to do his bit In spreading out all kinds of food Where the flies and mosquitoes do nlt Everybody's free and eaSy
 Each one helps at the roast, Dogs are gobbled hungriy
 But not la Emily Post. What boots 1t if slab of butter Attracts an ant or two, Or that ones plate when stacked Resembles just lot of goo. It's eat, drink and be merry
 And hands were made before forks, You don't need fancy silver for picnics But just something to pull out corks. Table manners are negligible, You take them for what they are worth When you eat, drink and make merry Close to old mother earth.
