might be a Dache or Hopper
but is more likely a Maggie Cas-
tanera creation.
If you should be fooled, don't
be upset. You won't be the first,
nor the last
Trimming hats is hobby that
Mrs. Cssfanera has enjoyed since
the days when she reaped a prof
il of three cents for a cardboard
dream covered with silk and dec
Grated with feathers from her
mothers chickens. Her purchasers
in those days were her playmates
and the models their dolls.
Today if she sees a hat she
covets in a store but feels the
price is more than she can afford,
she simply gathers yard or two
of 80 cents-a-yard ribbon, hand
some feather or two and seats
herself before her mirror with an
old hat and a pair of scissors.
More often than not her crea-
tons turn out successfully. Some
times they are like the hat she
"scissored" so much in an effort
to make it becoming that she end
ed with little more than a rag of
felt and had to relegate it to the
garbage can.
She has no trouble remember
ing details and doesn't even have
to stare too hard. She used TO be
the same way with her clothes
and did practically all her own
sewing. Today. though. she con-
fines her needlework TO dresses
for her granddaughters.
81 think the compliment I en-
| joyed most on a hat was on trip
to Havana when one of the pas
sengers on the ship said How
lovely your hat is. A Hopper, no
doubt?' and | answered, Yes and
had a good laugh in my cabin"
Mrs. Ada Wilkinson. Buena
Vista, has an issue of the Gloster
Record (Amite county, of October
9, 1914. The interest of the paper
is not its age but the fact that it
is printed on Kraft paper, before
bleaching. Seems stronger than
the white, too. Mrs. Wilkinson is
native of Gloster and always
takes the "home town" paper.

Berlin Rail Strikers
Seek Means 10 Ease
Traffic BohIeneck
BY shs Assoeietsd Press

BERLIN, June 16-Leaders Of
Berlin's anti-Communist RAN
strikers today were seeking ways
to settle East-West sector traffic
problems.
Since the walkout on the Rus
sian-controlled railways began
May 21 with demands for full pay
in West marks, union recognition
and job security. Western traffic
has been stalled.
No trains have rolled into West
ern yards since May 26 and the
West sector elevated system is
stagnant.
Want to Ease Bottleneck.
Strikers have turned down two
compromise proposals and want
to obtain their strike objectives.
But they would like to ease the
traffic bottleneck.
Heinz Bracht. union chairman,
said the union Is not only willing
to handle interzonal trains, but to
set up an emergency elevated sys-
tenn.
MIR. Bracht said in the British
licensed Telegraf that the West
Berlin population could mot be
expected to suffer from the ele-
waited situation any longer"
West Berliners now jam the
underground trains, cling onto
autos and trucks or walk.
Separate Service Urged.
The union has offered to handle
interzonal trains, but declares the
railway management will not per-
NIT it.
Mr.. Bracht suggested the ele-
waited problem be solved by au-
thorization from the West Berlin
city government to set UP sep
arate service. He reported suf-
ficient coal, power and personnel.
An American spokesman, how
ever. said establishment Of a sep
arate system was not feasible,
since the 1945 four-power agree
ments gives Russia control Of rail-
way operations.
