The Deweys rented this home for two years before buying 1t. The purchase price was $30,O00, and they paid 5000 down and are amortizing the rest. They have turned the place into a successful dairy farm to make 1t help pay for itself.
 During the summer, each of the boys is given a part of the large vegetable garden to cultivate and is responsible for his share. Dur ing the winter they go to a pri- vate school = Albany Academy = although until the family's re- moval to the state capitol, Tommy and John were regulars in the Pawling public schools.
 FLAIR FOR DECORATING
 Mrs. Dewey's role as wife and mother doesn't limit her commun- lCy acClVlCleS, says neV' ECaApu 0hLlA- Ter, pastor of the non-sectarian church on Quaker Hill, who cites numerous wiener roasts which the Deweys give for the Sunday School gang on the front lawn of their home. Fran" - he calls her - Is in charge of the lemonade, and Tom, ST., does the honors over the outdoor fireplace.
 Lankler says all the Deweys turn out for Sunday meetings in the little white church - once a Quaker Grange on the hill. To save gas, Ma and Pa drive their boys to Sunday School, and sit outside in the car reading the Sunday papers while they wait for their offspring to troop out and join them for il o'clock serv- ices. Here the elder Deweys, who are both trained musicians, schow that they like to sing and give the hymns 8 good rounding out.

By EPSIE KINARD NEA Sta Correspondent

Pawling, N. r., July 3 - The public has gained the impression that Mrs. Tom Dewey is shy and retiring, but her neighbors disagree. I asked the butcher, banker, beauty shop operator, druggist, dry goods merchant, pastor, editor of the country weekly, and her close friends in this village.
 They all say Mrs. Dewey is a good mixer, has a keen wit, and tells good stories. Mrs. Lowell Thomas, wife of the news com- mentator and a close friend of the Dewey family, is one of her ardent admirers. "She has gift of repar- tee that makes you mentally rise to your toeS," Mrs. Thomas confldes.
 Her more observant neighbors say she's an astute politician. Few sus- pect her gift for political acumen because of the self lf-effacing role Mrs. Dewey plays as wife and mother. Governor Dewey has more faith in her keen powers of analysis than he has in many associates more obviously labeled as politi- clans.
 REPORTS NEWS OF DAY
 While she's nursing Tom, Jr., aged Il, and John g, through the whooping cough, measles, chicken pox or attacks of tonsilitis,. Mrs. Dewey is coming the days radio opinions, which will be delivered in a succinct package to her busy husband. While she's about her wifely duties shopping in the vil- lage or running back and forth to New York on errands for her family, she will chat with the local merchants, the baggage master, and the man behind the ticket window, to sample the senti- nlents that kep her husband ap- prized of what makes average Americans tick.

 Yesterdays ceremonies began at 10 o'clock with an academic process sion to the chapel. There the Rev. Jeremiah T. Fitzgerald, o.

 Father Brennan, 8 professor at Providence College since 1881 and head of its philosophy department since 1888, is at the present time visiting professor of psychology at the University of Montreal. A mem- Der of the National Gallery of Liv- ing Catholic Authors, he is the au- thor of several books in English on his field, including '"Thomistic Psy- chology" published in i94l, and The History of Psychology, to be pub- lished this fall, and 8 missionary manual in Latin and Chinese, aris- ing from his stay in China from 1927 to 1881 as perfect of Dominican schools in Kienow.

 Born in Lima, Ohio, July 2, 1897, Father Brennan was professed in the Order of Preachers on July 2, 1919. He received his Ph.

In 1886 he founded and became the first director of the Thomistic Institute of Providence College, body of research scholars, and of the affiliated Thomistic Guilds. groups of laymen and lay women of the various professions who meet to study the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas,

 "VARGA GIRL"
 Like other young couples-both of the Deweys are on the sunny side of 70 - they are adding to family silver, china, linens, and piece by piece are replacing old objects dart with new. John Rogers, the druggist, an admirer of Mrs. Dewey, once outbid her at an auction for an Oriental rug. Rising gallantly to the occasion, he offered to let her have 1t. She declined graciously = and appar- ently because she had bid as high as she could afford to go.
 That Frances Dewey is good- looking and has style in clothes, every man, woman and child in this town will testify. Secretly dubbed the ''Varga Girl" by friends because her figure is that good, she's slim and doesn't have to diet. Her hair is dark with a few grays sneaking in at the temples, a subject about which she and her good friend and neighbor, Mrs. Raymond Thorn burg, sister of Lowell Thomas, often tease each other.

Boys Clubs Support
 Farm Labor Program
"Dig for Victory Summer Theme as Youths Sign Up
 to Work Daily on Outlying Farms

Rabbit hutches and chicken yards have sprung up in basements and court yards.
 Boys Club leaders are finding that the farm labor project is as good for the boy as 1t is for food production. After a summer work ing in the open, boys are healthier and more conscientious. Also some of them have learned fundamental facts that the farm boys knew all along. There is Johnnie, for in- stance, who today knows all about COWS.
 When Johnnie first arrived on a farm as @ helper the farmer took one look at him and asked:
 Bud, do you know how to milk?"
 With city assurance Johnnie re- piled: "Sue, I know how"
 well. go down and milk the COWS in the barn. said the farmer.
 Johnnie took the pail and went off to the barn. Time passed and he didn't come back. Finally the farmer thought he had better check Ou HIS new IlclpSTs GOOA1ik A2l IiiC barn, he saw that Johnnie had placed the pail under the COW in the usual manner and stood patiently waiting. He apparently expected the COW to do the rest.
 Another boy who has been feeding the chickens at camp now knows that they have only two legs. Be- cause his mother bought quarter of chicken at the market and that had one leg. he had arrived at the arithmetical conclusion that real live chicken had four legs.
 Boys Clubs of America has more than a quarter of a million boy members of Clubs throughout the country. Many of the meals the boys will enjoy during the coming winter will be products of their own work.

DETAIL FOR TODAY
 Monkey Drill

Calisthenics in the Navy is called
 MONKEY DRILL because while doing the exercises you some. times resemble a monkey. These
 MONKEY DRILLS, held before morning chow, may be good for your health, but they are bad for your morale. Imagine getting out of bed, still half asleep, running for a half mile, bending up and down a dozen times, falling on the ground and lifting yourself up 10 or IS times and then bend- ing backwards as far as you can. When the drill is over every muscle in your body has moved in at least four different direc. tions. You really don't feel right until you get good nights sleep --and then it's time for MONKEY DRILL again.
