We were visiting recently WITH
Admiral Thomas c. Hart and Mrs
Hart in their 150-year-old house
in Sharon, Conn. AS in SO many
pre- re-Revolutionary New England
towns, the past and the present
are blended with enduring charm
at Sharon. Elms border the
streets and the village green. The
clock in a high belfry tower
sounds out the hours in tuneful
rhythm. Industries date back to
a forge established in 1743.
Admiral Hart served in the
United States Senate after his re-
tiremerN from active duty, which.
besides his war, record. included
the superintendency of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis. The Harris
have just returned from trip to
Spain, Turkey, Greece, Italy and
Switzerland.
Mrs. Hart is a member OF the
Finance Committee which super
vises the townships expenditures
and is active on various admins
trative boards in the Congrega-
tional Church. George King, the
forbear who built their home King
House, worshiped in that church

well back from the highway,

An exceptionally fine Palladian
window is f1anked by graceful
dormers. The wide. white frame

the house an air of great ele-

HOUSING ExpEQT5 REPORT NEED FOR AHA AppRopRIATION

That there is a definite need and use for the appropriation of Sl5,- OGO.O0O for Alaska housing develop ment. is the opinion of members os housing survey group on a special assignment to investigate the Territory's problem for Con- gress.
 Burton Young, Housing and Home Finance Agency representa- tive. and Robert King, agency ac- counting officer, stopped overnight here on the last lap oi their two week trip through the Territory. They left this afternoon to stop at Ketchikan before going to Seattle where they will join other members of the housing expert group to rrepara their report to be submitted to the Senate Appro- priations Committee.
 Young said today that the group lad made a relatively thorough investigation Of tyre of housing, sanitation facilities, transportation shopping facilities, etc, in Anchor age and Fairbanks before return ing here for similar purposes.
 We found that cost levels are not so extreme as to preclude con- struction of rent and purchase units at prices a fair segment of the population can afford to pay, Young said.
 He particularly pointed out that the Alaska Housing Authority IS not intended as a subsidlzation measure. but is rather a special aid to aid private enterprise m oe- veloping needed units.
 AHA will provide for housing only on an economic i1asis. with actual cost of building determining rental and sale prices.
 This is not a lOw-cost, low rent housing measure" he en- phasized.
 Housing experts met with the AHA Board Of Commissioners Tn Anchorage to lay groundwork TOT handling of revolving fund ad- ministration.
 Funds will be disbursed to AHA from the Federal Treasury disbur- sement offices in. Juneau, Young said.
 The Office of Administration, HHFA, headed by Raymond M. Foley in Washington, DC, will be the agency for administering Federal responsibility, he said.

Bobbsr Of Horses Tails
Added TO U. S, Folklore

TENSLEEP, WYO.-Mike Ber-
nett had no idea Of making history
back in the fall of 1888. All Mike
wanted to make at that time was
a horsehair checkrein for a wild
bronc. He was short Of material
and, being a resourceful man, he
chopped the tails off five Indian
ponies.
It developed that the removal Of
the tails was a serious breach Of
conduct, as the only time an Indian
bobs his pony's tail is when he's
mourning the death Of someone.
There was no death to mourn. The
Indians decided the only way to
bring the thing to a balanced con-
ciusion was to kill Mike.
This lively bit Of Americana
stems from the Tensleep creek Sec
tor near here. II Is one Of scores
Of readable incidents included in

EFT. In the last three decades the
service has compiled millions of
words on the backgrounds Of its Is

Worrying Found to Be
Indicator Of Normally

EVANSTON, ILL.-Don't fr
about being worried. because if
you didn't worry you'd really have
something to worry about That's
the advice Of a Northwestern uni
versity psychologist.
Said Associate Prof. Irwin A.
Berg: I'VE think of worry and how
unhappy we are, but have you ever
thought that if we lacked such con-
Germ, houses probably would burn
down because we failed to extin-
Ruish the gas or q smouldering
cigaret butt, bills probably wouldn't
be paid, and we wouldn't even ask
for a raise in pay because we
weren't worried about the cost OF
living? Many things that should get
done would not be accomplished
without constructive worry"
The core Of Professor Berg's anal
ysis Of worry is that while it hin
ders US, when carried to extremes,
it also helps us physically, mentally
and socially. Sincere worry, not
just fretting and stewing, assists a
person in achieving purposeful &C.
tivity, he believes.
"a better name for constructive
worry is concern" explained
Professor Berg. 1T serves as a
safety valve. 1t is a sort Of pro-
lection, an insurance policy that
certain things will be done"
Emphasizing that worry is a nor
NAL reaction which requires learn
ing and experience to control. the
psychologist said: 1--WE learn to
worry about other things and moi
about others. It's bad for a per
son not to worry at all-that is. te
insulate himself from problems-a:
1t is to worry so much that that.
