FIVE THANKSGIVING BILLS

Let this be absolutely the first Thanksgiving story of l941. AL though this congressional session is only a few months old, there al- ready are five bills pending in the house designed to settle the carly -or-late controversy over the date If Thanksgiving Even if one of them passed, it probably wouldn' t settle the controversy. Laws some times don't you know. u
 Two of them are almost identi- cal and would establish Thanksgiv- ing always as the last Thursday ;n November. A third would make Thanksgiving the Thursday next preceding the. last Thursday of Mo- vember of each year" A fourth would make it Nthe first Thursday following the, third Sunday, in Mo- vember." while fifth upsets the old apple-cart of tradition and spills fruit all over the Pilgrim Fathers. This one would make Thanksgiving not on Thursday at all, but "on the Monday following the fourth Sunday in November Of each year. p
 At least one congressman, who doesn't want his name used is go- ing to vote against all bills and fight for keeping things just like

PRACTICAL. WASN'T IN IT

MT. Dirksen asked him. Can you give us any practical contribution that these studies have made over the years to anything that IS essentially practical?'
 The scientist according to MT Dirksen, answered.: Well. tn e place was never set up with the idea that it was ever going to pc practical at all. That was the last thought"
 "That-'it was not meant to be practical'--is gem of candor and frankness," says MT. Dirksen We ought to give him medal by special congressional enactment for that sort of a candid answer"
 The Sl0,00O item, incidentally, was knocked out, but. not before Rep. Charles L. Clifford, the Massachu- setts wag, got in his little fable. Pointing out that somewhere in the proceedings, there had been talk of advancing the knowledge of ''bi- ologicalr science. which, in turn, benefited all, reaching even to the teaching of biology to youngsters, MT. Clifford said There seems to be less and less need of teaching biology to the young. There was, for instance, the case. of the mother who one day cornered her very young daughter, and said very seri- ously. daughter, I want to take up with you a serious matter. l want to talk to you about the serious i features Of life, the biological fea- tures.' The daughter sat down and said. very well, mother, what would :. you like to knoW?''

1t isn't "efficient" looking, 1t does

walls and ceilings at all times. Take

New! Wall Covering
With Cloth Base
Hides Cracks
Lockers Now Available
To Store Frozen
Food in Home
BY LAWRENCE CROLIUs.

Are the walls of your home suffer-
ing from a bad case Of "gaposis"
Few houses seem to be able to
escape that common ailment which
manifests itself in hairline and set
ting cracks In both walls and cell
ings. Naturally, you can't put q
Upper on an ugly settling crack
which suddenly makes its way across
q living room wall, but you can take
care of 1t, and future crevasses, by
decorating your walls with new
covering which not only beauties,
but gives structural strength to the
plaster.
Acting as a binder for the plaster
on walls and ceilings, this new cov-
ering has for its base a layer Of
strong and durable canvas. 1t looks
on the surface like wall coverings
of the conventional type, but the
cloth base enables it to hold plaster
together, and if crack of some sort
should develop, 1t will prevent ordi-
nary plaster cracks from tearing
through it. In fact, the manufac-
ea1C Va VliC piOduSt IAdiAio tilC &ild-
terial Is so flexible it can absorb the
tearing effect of even a large crack
and hide it for many a year.
Acts Also as Buffer.
Because of the basic strength of
this wall covering it will act also
as an effective buffer against blows
which ordinarily would result in a
large patch of damaged plaster.
This feature should appeal greatly
to people whose children seem bent
on destroying the old homestead
long before the dive bombers arrive.
They can bump against it with kid
dy-kars, or beat on it, but the sturdy
canvas backing will do its duty, we
are told.
No less important than its strength
is the ability of this wall covering
to be cleaned with ordinary soap and
water in the event it gets decorated
with flngerprints, jam or SCOT. It's

the home with obvious savings and

The cabinets which house these
food lockers are made of hand
somely decorated steel which is
bonderized for durability, then fin
ished of with white duco. The
hinged tops, as you would expect,
are made of cleaning stainless steel,
and around the edges is a rubber
cushion to prevent noise and break
age. The mechanism which holds
these low temperatures is an adap-
tation of the machines used in
stores to preserve ice cream end is

You can place one of these new
electrical servants right in your
kitchen or, If you want a larger size,
in the basement. Either way, one
OF these 16 different sized units
should fit into your home and make

A simple way to provide the addi-
