Study Of Low Incomes

Protest al Testimony

A Republican cry that the Tru-
man administration is trying to
scare" the people into backing a
compulsory health program
threatened today to upset a politi-
cal truce in Congress study of low
income families.
The protest came from Repre-
sentative Rich, Republican of
Pennsylvania. He aimed it at
testimony by John L. Thurston,
assistant Federal Security Admin
istrator. Mr.. Thurston testified
yesterday that three Children in
every average American classroom
of 80 pupils "are destined to spend
part of their lives in a mental hos
pital."
Mr.. Rich, in statement Of his
own, called Mr.. Thurston's testi-
mony lone of the most shocking

Charges Propaganda.
He charged that the Truman
administration, determined to
socialize the United States, has.
used every trick Of propaganda
and duress to put over the main
plank of its socialistic program
socialized medicine"
Senator Sparkman, Democrat,
of Alabama, chairman OF the sub
committee of the House-Senate
Economic Committee, before
which Mr.. Thurston appeared as
the first witness, took different
position.
He said he didn't think Mr..
Thurston was using the figures
on the health of school children
"for the purpose of soaring us
into a socialized medicine pro-
gram.
Earlier, Senator Sparkman and
the other three committee men,
bers attending the hearing had
denounced with equal severity re-
ports that there were political
implications in the low-income
inquiry.

Republicans Discuss
Campaign Strategy
Al Chicago Meeting
By the Assoeicisd Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-The Re-
publican Party's national strategy
committee meets today to discuss
plans for the 1850 congressional
elections.
The committees one-day closed
meeting followed yesterdays ses-
sion in New York by the G. O. P.
Finance Committee, which ap-
proved a 81 1852, ,450 budget to con-
duct next years election cam
paign.
The budget figure. announced
by Sinclair Weeks, Finance Com
mittee chairman, is $27,450 more
than the campaign fund for the
1916 elections. Republicans
gained control of Congress in 1916
but lost it two years later.
Guy Gabrielson, national COM
mittee chairman. has announced
that the strategy group will re-
port back to the national COM
mittee after today's conference
The 23-member committee in
cludes national committee men,
bers, Senators, Representatives
Governors and State and central
finance committeeman.
Mr.. Weeks, Republican commit
teeman from Massachusetts,, said
the 1850 budget sum 'is expected
to be sufficient to finance an ef-
fective, efficient and hard-hitting
campaign in behalf Of senatorial
and congressional candidates"
He called 1850 a crucial election
year and said the party would
welcome contributions in the 81
and $50 bracket"
Quotas for the budget will be
assigned to regional and State
finance chairmen January 2 and
a Nation wide fund-raising drive
will start January 16, Mr.. Weeks
said.

It's fact that the assets of each of the
5S4 life insurance companies, separately
invested, add up to more jobs and better
living for all because:
While $4,000, 900 people are using their
money to provide family protection through
life insurance, they also are helping America
itself "go places"
For these funds, needed to guarantee the
payment of policies, are loaned out and
are actively at work. They help do such
things as extend gas and electric lines, pay
for new railroad cars, improve farms, build
homes, and provide money for business of
many kinds.
This means that each of these 100000
poicyholders, through his life insurance.
has a financial stake in the growth Of
America and it's enterprises.
To make sure you are getting the most
out of your present life insurance, see your
agent. Life insurance is service! Your
agent is trained to help you use it most
effectively. The Institute of Life Insurance

8. Why do men feel that they
must assert themselves in various
and strange ways?
Q. Why do men feel that 1t
doesn't matter about their figure
or grooming but that you must re-
main lovely?
10. Why are men bored with your
jokes If you tell them more than
once but go ahead telling the same
ones over and over again them
selves?
II. Why do they like old shoes
so we'll?
IL. Why they are so attractive
to us?
OF course, all of these things do
not apply to all men but some OF
them apply to all men.
Modern life is rather puzzling to
women! They are supposed to be
alert and independent in spirit
and yet give the impression of be-
ing clinging vines. They are sup
posed to be master budgeters and
yet save for the future and be
charming and young and attrac-
tive at all times, and dish up
wonderful dishes. They are sup
posed to play a good game of
golf but not a game which is too
good!
Anyway, 1t is quite challenge !!

All of us like cold plates. frosty

during the hot weather. But
comes the time even in the worst
of the heat when the family gets
hungry for a regular meat and

it they like the appeal and effect
of GOODNESS at table.
For the cool effect rely on a
shimmering, cool looking and
cool-tasting nodded salad served
with crisp salad green's and have
tall tinkling glasses of fruited ice
tea. The fruited ice tea is made
by adding lemon and canned tan
gerine juice or apricot nectar to
iced tea. A sprig of mint will nod
approval.
Now for the main meal, why not
60 all out and have chop meal?
It takes a minimum of time in the
kitchen heat to broil your favorite
chops. If you haven't used those
canned white potatoes you will be
surprised at the time and work
saved when you do try them. They
cut down on long cooking time
during hot weather, too. which is
an added attraction. With broiled
chops or hamburger steaks a IA
vorite way with the canned po-
tatoes is simply to drain and
brown them in butter or mar
garine. Sometimes sprinkle them
with chopped parsley and some
times slice them and fry them
with onions. So choose your
favorite.
For a good combination of veg
etables try green lima beans with
carrots. My favorite method is to
combine the lima beans and the
carrot strips, season with butter
or with butter and small amount

How do men get that way?

How do men get that way?
Men are fine creatures, of
course, but here are some ques-
lions some of them would not be
able to answer satisfactorily.
/. Why do men hate to be kept
waiting but feel that you should
understand when they are de-
layed?
2. Why is it impossible for a
man to be quiet? Why do they al
ways fall over something in the
middle of the night, no matter
how hard they are trying?
3. Why don't men get accus-
toned to crazy hats? You come
home with one which gives you a
lift and makes you feel at least 10
years younger and he says, Where
in the world did you get that hat?"
Or maybe he simply grabs his
head and screams. Then. later on,
he likes it!
4. Why do men hate to talk it
out" if there are any emotional
values involved?
5. Why do men hate to see you
wear red nail polish or rouge or
lipstick but find other women who
do so attractive?
6. Why are men so afraid to
pick up a little baby?
7. How can men make good
poker players when their wives
know the minute they see them

Books Are Mothers Boon

land Dickens has many followers.
Popular. also, are the Just So"
stories.
Runner Godden's THE Dolls
House" is a charming contem-
porary story with strong appeal
for children. The book is beau
tifully illustrated by Dana Saints
bury. 1t is a novel that tells a
story about dolls in terms of
human values.
Books that laboriously point a
moral stand on the shelves. Far
more easily digested are the
moral values implicit in good
writing. As an example. Miss
Bubb cited Villa Gathers my
Antonia," which so wonderfully
presented the point of view Of
immigrants without having the
pointing of a moral the purpose
of the book. The same is true Of
regional stories, which some adults
feel should be urged upon chill
dren. Only if the book is a good,
well-written one will it be sue
cess with small fry.
What of the concern over the
effect Of televiSion on the amount
of reading children do? Library
figures show an increase in cir
culation of 10 per cent during the
1948 fiscal year, Miss Bubb stated.
Over one and a half million books
were circulated. This increase,
however. does not keep pace with
the stable increase in the num-
Der of births since the late sos.
In a day when competition for the
attention of youngsters has never
been keener. only truly satisfy
ing books will appeal.
Television may stimulate read
ing, Miss Bubb feels, if the classics
are presented in this medium.
The development of nursery
schools have stimulated interest
in the creation of books for chill
dren at the toddler level, and
many such books are consequently
now available. Many children s
room visitors are parents of chill
dren of this age.
Books that are truly moving will
broaden child's sympathies and
understanding. Reading aloud to
a child from a good book-but it
must be good one, nothing is
more deadly than reading aloud
from a poorly written one-whets
child's appetite for good read
ing, and provides an opportunity
for parent and child to become
better friends.

Books are mothers natural
ally on a rainy summers day. To
learn of children's present-day
attitudes and preferences, we con-
suited Miss M. Ethel Bubb. assist
ant director of work with children
at the Central Public Library.
Children who truly have the
reading habit, apart from school
assignments, go right on reading
in the summer. Miss Bubb de-
clared. In the summer, books may
be taken out of the library for a
period of one month, and special
arrangement makes it possible for
10 books to be taken along on
vacation, which can be kept until
October /. There is also list for
vacation reading available. Dur
ing the summer, when the libra
rian is not quite as rushed, is a
good time, too, to get her help
in compiling individual book lists.
The "how to do it" books are
rich in suggestions for rainy-day
! entertainment. What to Do
Now" written and designed by
Tina Lee, with pictures and
charts by Manning Lee, is one of
these books. Written at level the
children themselves can read and
understand, it offers suggestions
for converting prosaic household
items into fascinating things. Egg
boxes. match boxes. bottles, paper
plates, paper towel tubes, paper
bags, mirrors and other things are
used to this end. The egg boxes
can become attractive, gayly deco
rated cupboards. Seeding boxes,
stocking boxes and gadget boxes.
Match box furniture can be Gre
ated, with attractive desks and fl
ing cabinets emerging. Chairs are
made from spools. And instruc-
tons for making simple blouses,
handbags and so forth are given.
Miss Lee also authored How to
Make Dolls and Doll Houses" that
offers suggestions in the same
practical vein. Other books offer
ing aid in the crafts are "A Child's
Book of Carpentry" also written
at the child's level. THE Puppet
Book" Mother Goose Handcraft"
and THE Home Toy Shop" The
puzzles and mathematical quizzes
that children love can be found in
the library, too, along with data
on how to be a magician.
The library can suggest mex
pensive books on insects, birds and
flowers that parents may wish to
purchase as aids to identification
of these things by their children.

quently request such books in the
library. Books such as Grand
father Tales" by Richard Chase,
are favorites. Mr.. Chase is the
author of the popular Jack
Tales" Another favorite book of
Americana is New England Bean
Pot" a collection of folk tales
made by M Jagendorf.
Outstanding among recent ex-
amples of the ever-popular ad-
venture story is "Scarface," the
story of boy raised by pirates,
and told by Andre Norton. The
stories Of King Arthur and his
