Romanian Woman Red
LEADERS Acid Words
Steal Belgrade Show

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Aug. s.
(CDN.-Ana Pauker, Romania -
Foreign Minister, is stealing 'thes
show here at the 1l-nation confer.
ence to regulate trafic on the
Danube River. @ Is
Ana's venomous attacks against
the United States, Britain and 3
France are sometimes even more
acid than those of Andrei Vishinsky. 4
the Soviet Unions Deputy Foreign 3
minister and conference hatchet-
man.
Mr.. Vishinsky, with lots of United
Nations practice in defiling the
Western democracies, is having .
hard time keeping pace with Ana
Pauker.
The lady can slug as hard as he
can. 1t appears sometimes that
each is trying to Guido the other
in making vindictive political
speeches against the "imperialistic
countries of the world"
Often Mods Approval.
The Romanian Foreign Minister i
is a woman of vitality and force.
Her steel-gray hair Is closely
cropped. She sits nervously at thu !
conference table, massaging the
glossy surface in front of her. Shs
runs her hands through her hair.
she mods with approval while Mr..
Vishinsky goes through his PAGES.
Then she is on her feet de-
nouncing America, Britain and
France with better adjectives and &
stronger verbs than Russia's master
of vitriolic denunciation.
1.-The British and French secre-
taries, working in the Danubian
control division" she charged, were
paid higher salaries than the Ro-l
manian commander in chief.
Exploitation of the Danubian
countries by these imperialistic
powers is at an end. If the i'm
perialists want another Munich
this conference need not 60 on
longer"
Audience IL Attentive.
Ana always gets an attentive
audience. Her Russian is only
sketchy. so she keeps an inter-
prefer beside her when Mr.. Vishin-
sky is speaking. Sometimes she
has to get f1ll-in before she smiles
at Mr.. Vishinsky's remarks.
She was asked Informally the
other day whether she thought
Michael, whom she is accredited
with having kicked off the Roman
ian throne, would ever return.
1T is very unlikely" she grinned.
The climate in Romania is I'M
suitable for Michael's health. It
has been suggested-and I am in
clined to- agree-that he should oe-
come an American citizen. He
might even make a good Briton.'
1t is unfortunate that we have no
more room in the Balkans for people
like Michael"
Attracts Crowds.
There is more interest in this
lady Foreign Minister here in Bel
grade than there is In any other
Danubian conference delegate. She
draws crowds wherever she goes.
She likes it, too. She performs
well in public. When she is stopped
by neWsnen she gives Of freely.
She handles herself well and OBJ
viously is one of the shrewdest
diplomats at the meeting.
I'VE are here" she said the other
day, Ito see that the Danube River
is controlled by the .Danubian
countries. n was a mistake ever
to make ita free water way. Ro-
mania has nothing to say about
how the Mississippi River, the
Thames, the Amazon or the Rio
de la Plata are operated. Think
that over"

PUD Customers
10 Give Opinion.
On Billing Idea

Customers of the Benton Coun-
ty Public Utility District will
have an opportunity to express
their preference for monthly or
bi-month1y billing when poll is
taken this month to obtain Gus
toner reaction to the proposed
change. Owen w. Hurd, P.U.D.
Manager, announced that consid-
Grafton is being given to the
change in billing period for most
of the PUBS customers because
of savings, and other benefits
which would accrue, due to this
change.
A statement explaining the pro-
posed change, and the reasons
for it, will be sent each custo-
mer this month with a ballot at
tached on which they can indi-
cate their preference. Final deci-
: sion on adopting bi-monthly bill
will be placed after results
poll have been made
known.
An estimated savings of nearly
$4,000 a year will be made by
the PUD if customers are billed
once every two months instead
of the present practice of once
a month. The savings will be
made in reduced costs Of meter
reading, billing, postage, collec-
tons, bookkeeping, and general
office expense.
If the plan is adopted, all resi-
Dental and small communicated
accounts would receive their cleo
trio bill six times year. Large
commercial and industrial users
would continue to receive their
electric bills once a month. No
change in rates will be made as a
result of the longer billing per-
iod.
Hurd states that several other
private and public power dis
tributors have adopted bi-month-
1y billing with excellent results
and to the satisfaction of their
customers. "A
If the change is approved, the
last billing under the present sys-
tenn will be received in July. The
first billing under the new plan
will be received in September.

humidified egg room.
4. The egg cases should be kept
cool also. Place the eggs into
them with small ends down. Do
not wash them; any small stains
should be removed with a buf-
fer. When the case is filled, fast
en- down the top so that there
will be less chance Of breakage.
Large eggs can be packed in the
corners of the filters 50 that
they do not rise above the filters.
S. Infertile eggs spoil less
quickly than fertile ones. It you
are producing eggs for human
consumption, be sure they are
infertile. It's a good idea to re-
move the males from the breed
ing hens as soon as the eggs are
no longer being saved for the in
cubator.
6. Ship the eggs at least twice
weekly to the local market Pro
tect them against rain, wind, heat
in summer and cold In winter
during the trip to the market.
2. Avoid Earring the eggs, for
this may cause tremulous air
cells. Pack them into the truck
carefully.
8. The wholesaler viii store
them into refrigerated rooms and
he will grade and candle thcEo.
He will ship them in cool ven
tilated and humidified trucks to
the retailer.
8. The retailer helps to retain
quality of eggs by storing
-. in refrigerated or cool dis
play counters. "
10. The housewife will do the
same by keeping them in the re-
frigerator at home until she is
ready to use them.

,s.s Care Ca" I
Be Stressed Too
Much Says Agent

The importance of taking good
care of eggs all the way. from
the poultryhouse to the house
wife's refrigerator just can't he
stressed too much, according to
Frank Webster, County agent.
The following reminders on
the proper care of eggs from the
time they are laid until they are
consumed come from DR.. Will
son Henderson, assistant pro-
lessor of poultry husbandry,
Washington state college.
4. Keep the litter and nesting
material as dry and clean as
possible by changing it frequent
ly. Where deep litter is used,
concentrate on keeping it dry. :
2. Gather the eggs or 4 times
day, for they will lose their
quality quickly if allowed to stay
in warm nests, and this is all
the more true when broody hens
are allowed to sit on them. Z
8. Use wire baskets for gath
ering the eggs. Leave the eggs in
the baskets inside the cool room
until they are cool before pack
ing them into the cases. The hui
nudity of the egg room should be
kept high; the temperature should
