 A thorough dislike for publicity often has resulted in her being termed ''unassuming," retiring and "shy. But at home - the eX- ecutive mansion or the farm, Dap plemere, at Pawling, N.

 Although vitally interested in her husbands career, Mrs. Dewey is above all else a homemaker and mother of the Dewey sons, Thomas E., Il, and John Martin, B. whom both she and the Governor are de- termined to keep untouched by their official public life.
 Mrs. Dewey's days at the ex- ecutive mansion are spent in keep ing the huge building and grounds in smooth running order. She has a competent staff of servants and with the chef plans the menus, going to particular pains-just like

They are called: Government Owned Black Market Stores" Cor whatever the Russian is for that and any citizen can shop in them Tn this way. the govt gets back all that surplus money And keeps the citizens honest at the same time Over here surplus money is being enjoyed only by the "mobs", who keep it all since they rarely pay taxes.
