Charles Schaefer, AZ, a miner, was
found dead in bed at the home of his
brother and sister-in-law, Mr.. and
Mrs. James A. Schaefer one mile
west of Grantsville, on Saturday

short time later she returned to his
room and found him dead.
He was the youngest son of the
late Christina Leinsetter and Henry

vile January 10, 1904. He had lived

Farm House
Plans Available

Stating that the farm home is not
only place to live, but is also a busi-
ness office, factory, and that the
| housewife sometimes thinks it's also
q hotel or restaurant, Ray W. Carpen-
ter, head of the Agricultural Engi-
neering department at the University
Of Maryland, announced that complete
plans for GA different farm homes are
available to Maryland farmers.
He explained that bulletins and
catalogs showing these plans have
been placed in the hands of county
agents, and vocational agriculture
teachers. Maryland farmers can study
these and then order complete blue
prints Of the one wanted.
Homemaking specialists, Miss Flor
ence Mason and Miss Helen Irene
Smith, also stressed the Importance Of
having farm houses designed for that
particular purpose. They said that the
convenient arrangement of the farm
house depends upon its relationship to
the other farm buildings. Unlike the
city house, the farmhouse has it's
main line Of communication through
| the back or side door. Therefore out
side doors and porches should be To-
Gated to give convenient entrance
from the farm driveway and the path
to the barns.
If possible, they said, there should
be a convenient place near the rear
entrance for men to leave their outer
wraps and to wash before going into
the house. 1t is also desirable that
the work portions Of the house, where
the housewife spends much of her
time, look out over the farm build
ings and the entrance roadway.
Preferably the traffic-way from the
rear entrance to the main portion Of
the home should not lead through the
kitchen. If the kitchen must be used
as passageWay, the doors should be
50 arranged that the traffic does not
cross the work area.
These and other considerations have
been included in the house plans
which the specialists at the Universi-
ty urged prospective farm home build
erS to get.

Russell J. Garrison died at his

The Republican., 1947-12-18

Many other instances of similar
character are given by Mr.. Herter.
He asserts that with the exception of
the Reconstruction Finance Corpor-
alton, not a single bureau gave so
much of a trace of cooperation. On
the contrary, they joined in a resis-
tance that was almost overwhelming
and wholly illogical OF course, what
this gigantic and organized jobhold-
ers army did could not have been done
without tacit approval, amounting to
encouragement, from the White
House. Every bureau head knew that
Mr.. Truman was opposed to any cut
at all in his 7-billion-dollar budget.
With that knowledge they correctly
assumed they could go to any ex-
tremes in their own opposition
which is certainly what they did.
And Mr.. Truman uttered no word of
dlsapproVal-quite the contrary.

The Republican., 1947-12-18

not only the Republicans but that
pioneer Democratic reduction advo-
cate, Senator Harry Byrd, of Virginia,
and every citizen everywhere justly
appalled, at the size of the vast
governmental machine, its terrific
burden on the taxpayers and the in
herent waste and inefficiency.
We are told by Representative
Christian Herter, one of the ablest
and most sincere members of Con-
gress, that the fight will be renewed
in the regular session. This is heart
ening news. Never before has so much
money been wasted nor economy been
more vital. No sane man possibly can
contemplate our present and pros
pective commitments abroad and re-
main unconvinced of the utterly in
defensible nature of unnecessary dol
lar expenditure at home. Before the
next economy battle begins it seems
essential there should be the widest
and clearest possible public under
standing of why the 1947 effort
achieved relatively so little success.
The reason is very simple. 1t was the
skillful, determined and often unscru-
pulous resistance of the Federal bu-
reaucracy, which Mr. Herter correct
ly describes as the most powerful and
potentially the most dangerous lobby
of them all.
