having be seated on my right?
My own mother who lives in town
will be present.
Answer: This is an important
question to answer because the
usual practice of seating the guest
of honor, who is a stranger, on her
hostess right means that she has
only one new person to talk to
instead of two. The most practical
seating is that which would place
the most prominent woman in
vited on the hostess right, seat
your mother-in-law next, and an
other attractive person on the
other side of her. In this way
the hostess can add pleasantness
to the conversation by joining in
with the lady on her right, and
include the guest of honor. Your
own mother should be seated
opposite you in your husbands
place.

To HaIve Bulb Maxine
BY the Asseeiated Press

TRENTON. N. j.. May 23.-The
Government is seeking a court
order which would force the Gen.
eral Electric Co. to get rid of half
its facilities for making electric
light bulbs.
Judge Phillip Forman. who was
asked yesterday to approve the
decree. convicted GE and eight
other lamp makers in January,
l949. of violating the Sherman
Antitrust Act by combining to
help GE maintain a monopoly.
The Government seeks a so per
cent cut in production facilities
for making large and miniature
bulbs. including Christmas tree
lamps, as well as the manufacture
of glass and various parts that go
into q bulb.
General Electric would have to
dedicate to the public any and
all existing patents and end af-
f1liations with any other bulb
makers. ...
Judge Forman said he would
hear further argument June IL.
Whitney N. Seymour, chief
counsel for General Electric, said
it was an attempt to destroy GE's
lamp business.
The order would not affect GE
products other than lamps.

BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, May 23.-The
war and politics were blamed to-
day for the Nations widespread
water shortages.
Such was the view expressed
by several experts attending the
American Water Works Associa-
ton convention which is trying
to help American cities get all
the pure water they need.
Summing up a widely held
opinion midway of the five-day
meeting, Harry E. Jordan of New
York. association secretary, put
it this way in an interview:
Actually, as will be explained
many times at the convention,
there is intrinsically no long
range water shortage. The real
shortage is in the facilities for
bringing water to the people"
1.-The major cause of this situa-
ton was the war" he said. Water
works projects suffered during the
war years. because required mate
rails were hard to get or could not
be obtained at all. The country's
whole effort naturally was directed
toward production and uses of
material demanded for victory in
the field.
"But another factor in our fail
ure to keep water supply abreast
the growth of population lies in
administrative faults and neglect
at local levels. Here we find that
administrative officials all to often
do not press for the development
of water works programs which
have been recommended by engi-
neerS. Why is that so? Well, no
doubt because the programs aren't
considered politically expedient."
$50 far as the war imposed cur
tailments are concerned" he went
on. 1--WE can only work hard to
make up lost ground as fast as
possible.
Last year $207 million was
spent on new construction. It is
not enough. We need to increase
that figure by another $100 mil
lion year for the next 10 years.
"The urgency of the problem. is
indicated by the fact that more
and more Americans are moving
to the cities. This accelerating
transition from rural to urban
living makes it increasingly neces-
sary for us to put our national
water systems in proper order
and that means looking carefully
to the future.
TOO many people seem TO
overlook the obvious-that water
is not like coal or like a commod-
