THE LIFE OF THE PARTY

Parties are moving outdoors these
warm days. Even with rationing
you can manage to whip up picnic
or two, especially if everybody
brings his own pickin's. Here are
some recently reported party trends
that should help you plan your next
rat race.
Sock 'em-Don't ask US why, but
Sock Dances are very popular. Ev-
erybody takes off his and her shoes
and the idea is to dance in your
socks. Couch, that guy must be an
Eskimo; he dances as if he had
snowshoes on!)
On the Square-Summer's the
time for square dancing-so get the
gang together and buy an album of
square-dance music. Get some local
old-timer to teach you how to do
this rural jitterbugging and you're
all set for a strenuous evening.
YO-Yo Contests-We reported a
few weeks ago that the Yo-Yo fad
was sweeping high school campuses.
Well, now we hear that Yo-Yo con-
tests are the hit of teen-age par
ties. You'll fool so feelish, but you'll
have fun!

HoU War Maps
Are Made

"a map is the foundation stone
of any operation" says a long and
precise document issued by the Brit
ish Information service entitled,
CELEBRATING a Continent-Index to
Invasion"
l have had a little to do with the
making of war maps myself and
know that information that goes into
such maps comes from many
sources. Some of the data is as an
cient as the hills that are depicted
in the convolutions resulting from
painstaking Typographical surveys
which show every three-foot rise.
Some of the data, on the other hand,
is so fresh from the fighting front
itself that the maps upon which it
is superimposed and furnished to Of
ficers from the mobile lorry-borne
photo-litho printing equipment in the
fields are hardly dry. These field
map-producing units can be set up

productions of maps with recent
corrections on them and produce
them in color at the rate of 4,5OO
copies an hour.

claws for grewsome necklace.
Let's revive that old song about
Want some sea-food, mama"
Gypsy Sweetheart-Thel latest ear
ring fad is to wear a large metal
hoop on one ear. Gives you a sort-a
one-sided look and brings out the
gypsy in you.
Tickets, Please-Every time your
date takes you to the movies, be
sure to save the ticket stubs. When
you have good-sized collection,
mount them on pieces of cardboard,
cut to fit, and string them into
necklace Cover them with color
less nail polish, of course, to pre-
serve them. Write the name of the
boy who took you on the back of
each cardboard, if you really want
to be a shoW-off.

new gadget pins (dime store va
riety, we think) is pair of plastic
ice tongs holding a plastic cube of
ice. Pin it on your lapel and give
him the cold shoulder!

Stockman Bombs Cattle
With Salt From Airplane

CANYON CITY, ORE. - Clark
Morris, Grant county stockman,
would make a good bombardier,
especially if livestock were the tar
get.
Answering the problem of how
to salt stock in the high areas of
the county. Morris dropped 5O-pound
blocks of salt from an airplane to
his stock 1000 feet below. Local
stockmen had maintained that the
salt blocks would break if dropped
to the range from planes, but on
riding into the area, Morris found
that only one block had broken and
that each block had fallen within 10
feet of its objective.
Making two trips, 800 pounds of
salt were distributed in 40 minutes.
1t would take at least four days by
team and wagon to distribute that
much salt, if they could make it at
all. Proving that precision bomb
ing" works, Morris has become the
local hero.

Washington, d. C..

In week or so the political cam
paigns will be warming up and al
ready the main lines of attack and
counter-attack have begun to form.
The bombs will explode far from
the banks of the Potomac-Republl-
can headquarters and regional Oh
fees are already springing up and
their activities are far removed
from Washington's daily life. But
nowhere is the interest in politics
and the garnering of votes as great
as in this voteless city.
Before Candidate Dewey started
westward with Pittsburgh and St.
Louis station stops, Herbert Brown
ell, the new chairman of national
committee, visited Republican head
quarters here on Connecticut ave-
nue. to get acquainted. He did and
made a very good impression. AS
one reporter remarked, what
change in the genus chairman
Brownell is quite contrast to his
predecessor, Harrison Spangler, and
the accent is on youth. BroWnell is
40, looks younger, although his dusty
blonde hair is sparse. He reminded

was assistant professor of something
mot too highbrow-the non-academ-

Mayfower descendant who won a
scholarship at his state university
which took him to Yale where he
edited the Yale Law Journal, no in

With knowledge that he is striving
The best that his skill affords,

The great ones who tread the boards.
Yet some of the best and greatest

ResOund when the battles won,
But triumph will be as precious

Storage Lockers
Are Increasing
In Popularity

One war-born custom that will al
most surely be retained after the
boys have come marching home and
settled down is that of buying COM
modities when they are plentiful and
cheap and storing them for the days
when there is a scarcity. Thanks to
the quick-freezing method of pre-
serving food, the vegetables, meats,
poultry, fruits or dairy produce can
be kept without loss of flavor or
vitamin content for many months.

Brings DeDey Closer
To General Public

He made an excellent law connec-
ton in New York, was elected to the
state legislature and developed a
keen nose for politics which brought
him to the position of counsel for
the state Republican committee. He
was one of the inner circle of the
Dewey group and liked Dewey as
those who are closest to him do and
unlike those in the middle distances,
who don't. A part of Brownell's job
will be to bridge that gap. He or
somebody else has already been CIV
ing lessons to the governor in the
charm school as was evident at his
first press conference in Chicago aft
er his nomination where he revealed
his training. The cynical Albany
press gang were little taken aback
by the governors showing at that
time.
Dewey is naturally an introvert,
with a tendency toward egocentrici-
ty.. But he is one of the lucky ones
who knows it and from school days
he has struggled against the aloof-
ness which often grows up around
the man who is always the head
of his class as Dewey was.
He is ready to help the Republi-
cans put the accent on youth and
underline it heavily. Brownell fits
into that picture naturally and Dew
ey can be counted upon to match his
own conduct with his years as far as
vigor and energy 60 and he will
probably be able to acquire the
"hail-fellow' flavor for public rela-
tons!
1t is clear when you talk to Brown
ell that he is all for the "wim-and-
wigger" type of electioneering. The
Democrats know what to expect.
They started a defensive-offensiv
on the need of wisdom and expert
ence in their convention speeches.
They are going to try to prove that
when the contestants weigh in,
Democratic gray-matter will out-bal-
ance the red corpuscles and vita
minis which their opponents display
and of which they will boast.
AS we waited to interview Brown
ell on that muggy Washington after
noon, a figure emerged who may
have been exhibit A of the Republi-
cans immortal pep. He was the
man who nominated Taft for Presi-
dent SO you can date him. He was
former Sen. Jim Watson of Indiana
(born 1859, not juvenile, but he
hadn't lost his up-and-at-' EN-. Gas
Uncle Joe Cannon always used to
advise me-" Senator Jim allowed to
all and sundry, give 'em hell,
boys!
l asked Brownell later if the Re-
publicans intended to campaign in
IAN unusual way" since the Presi-
dent had said he wouldn't campaign
in the usual way. Brownell smiled
and replied with sentence the bur-
den of which was energetic"

lush but poWdery thatch doesn't go

Control of the Democratic par

the corrupt big city machines and
the radical left wingers who are
closer to communism than any 9TH
er political philosophy"
Right there you have two key

Expect DeUey to Rip
Trun,an's Connections
A Democrat who was Wallace
hacker said to me just after the Tru-
man bandwagon began to roll: II
can't figure out what this is all
about. They nominate a man who
got his start from the Pendergast
machine because Pendergast swore
he could take an unknown and make
him a senator and did. What will
Mr. District Attorney do to him?"
1t is true Pendergast gave Tru-
man his start, but whatever you
may think of Mr.. Pendergast's NOR
als-they did land him tenn Hrarily
in jail-the one quality II every
body who knows Truman talks about
and the thing the senator's record
points to, is honesty. But what are
facts in a political year anyhow?
Brownell limited that there would
be plenty said about Bosses of cor
rupt political machines" So that's
the scent and fairly noisome one,
which you can expect the Republi-
cans to follow Justify and in full cry.
Brownen was asked if the inf1u-
erce of the CLIO on the Democratic
party would be exploited. Brownen
merely said we could expect some
thing on that subject, too. He would
not say, however, whether he
thought that nominating Truman in
stead of Wallace, for whom Sydney
Hillman's CLIO political committee
was pulling so hard, strengthened
the Democratic ticket.
He was asked if he expected the
support of John Lewis. He didn't
answer that directly but he did say
that he expected a large proportion
of labor support and that party lead
ers in Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Ohio and Illinois (where Lewis
United Mine Workers are chiefly To-
cated) were strongly Republican
and that editorial writer's of the
UNIV periodicals and union leaders
had noticed the trend and were fol-
lowing it.
The "don't change horses" argu-
ment will be met with arguments
offered at the Republican conven-
ton, that there will be no change
in the American high command, no
interference with military leaders or
their strategy and then, of course,
there is the pious hope, too, that
should the war in Europe end be-
fore the ides of November, the
stream will be reduced to such a
trickle that nobody will worry about
little leap from one saddle to an
pfbor eoIl1a
