Meridian, Indianapolis, Ind. It's there convenient
to the Governors reach - or help yourself, any

Governors Lady. Mrs. Henry Schricker, petite
woman with wings of white hair smoothed back
over her ears.
Baking is Mrs. Schricker's special recreation,
something she enjoys by herself on the cooks day
off. Thursday mornings she takes over in the kitchen
to make few cookies - always the two kinds that
her husband favors As the Governor Lady, Maude
Schricker has almost no time to be just herself
whom she likes to describe as "a plain home body"
Il get homesick," she admits for my own house
up in Knox, Indiana. A little country town." she
told me, where my husband was a banker"
No Fancy Meals
ON day of incessant rain / rang the doorbell at
the Governors Mansion yellow-brick house not
much larger than other homes in the area. Mrs.
Scmicker opened the door, trim, slim woman in
brown corduroy dress with pink at the collar.
Her rain-colored eyes held lively awareness, making
quick inspection. Then Maude Schricker smiled and

We sat on the davenport in the formal living room.
Mrs. Schricker was knitting crib blanket for the
second grandchild, her second granddaughter.
You want the Governors favorite dishes?" she
asked. He eats so simply there are recipes to
give. Now Sunday dinner, for example, he would
be happy to have pork chops with baked potatoes
and snap beans and big salad. No desserts for the
Governor, but he does like helping himself from that

PUBLIC IMPROV'MTS


The citizens of st. Croix now
find themselves the recipients
of miles of additional salt
water and sewer lines and an
entirely new drinking system,
a free gift of the Federal Cow
eminent. The possession OF
such public improvements
marks the difference between
a sanitary and healthy environ

said.
The utilization of these faci
lities is the crucial factor
which will define adequate
