clude the people who have placed
such trust in your husband, in
your family, seeking to serve their
best interests.
You people are rare; I'm great
ly impressed by the way you
have turned out"
Numerous little anecdotes IF
things that have happened to her,
were related by Mrs. Lausche,
who is known to great numbers
of people throughout the state as
Jane" in a most delightfully."- in
formal manner.
But she continued, Il am not

my first appearance when Frank
was mayor of Cleveland" Pressed
into service one night when her
husband was too busy to make
a public appearance, she spoke 20
great audience in the Cleveland
auditorium without any previous
preparation. Il said what l thought
Lausche would say and sat down
to discover that not only had l
spoken to the great throng in
Cleveland, but my speech had been
broadcast over a National hook

for two days. That, l vowed was

Mrs. Lausches talk was brief
and left her audience with a feel

Had a vote been taken Friday
afternoon when Mrs. Frank j..
Lausche, wife of Ohio's governor
finished speaking before an audi
ence that taxed the capacity of
the Coover Memorial club house,
it is believed that she could have
had most any post she wanted,
even to supplanting her husband.
And without political barriers.
Mrs. Lausche came to London
at the invitation of the Twentieth
Century club for its final program
of the year. She was introduced
by Mrs. R. w. Alvis, chairman
of the committee, after a most
cordial introduction by Mrs. Har-
old S. Welsh, president of the
club.
Speaking on her experience as
hostess of the governors mansion,
Mrs. Lausche chose as her topic,
Housekeeping for 8,012,000," "be-
cause" she stated, We're al
housewives.
Mrs. Lausche completely capti-
waited her audience by her vivacity,
charm, and wit. She was most in
formal in relating some of ner
experiences. She told of the rigid
budget on which the household is
managed. As a case in point, she
stated that $500 a year is allow
ed for replacement of mansion
furnishings, which takes some
doing, since the home is constantly
in demand for public gatherings
at which times hundreds are en-
tertained. Culling the newspapers
for the best bargains offered for
things most needed, becomes a
habit, she continued; Especially
when the $50 window panels are
in state of dilapidation. Then
too there are the formal gardens.
The budget allows only $50 Tor
this planting. 1t necessitates not
a little planning and wangling to
get the most out of your money
for all these needs.

ernor Lausche has also been

hilate each other if some means
of peace is not found for all ma
lions.
One hundred years ago the
United States was on the verge
of civil war. Two hundred years
ago We were fighting to become
a nation. Now we are fighting for
a united world. In another hun
dred years l wager We'll be fight
ing for interplanetary peace.
Perhaps this could be called
some sort of progress. But why
human beings, with the God be-
slowed gift of reason, have to cut
each others throats in the name
of progress is an enigma.
The year of 1850 has been a dis
appointment to u.s.. The cost of
living has risen and the war clouds
have darkened. Our boys are dying
in battle and there seems to be
no respite.
We cannot make the resolution
to end war in 81 because war
seems to be one thing we can't
control. In short, we find our
selves stuck, for the year at least.
However, there r several
things we can work for in order
to make the world a better place.
We can stick tight with the U. N.
so that when the present ~conflagra-
ton is over we won't have to start
from scratch again. For, no matter
how often a union of all the ma
tiOns fails, we must try again so
that eventually we do learn how
to walk the tight rope of peace.
And we can return to the throne
of the Father and pray that our
hearts and our minds learn to
accept peace as the natural atti-
trde of men. W. have a long, long
road to stumble along but, per-
haps, if we pray hard enough We'll
see the light sooner than we
expect.
Happy New Year!

dogs in the world, have stomachs
that match their reputation. These
sturdy dogs have been known to haul
heavy loads up to so miles a day on
a diet of frozen walrus hide. Unlike

anything. In one instance, a team OF

in Atlantic City

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept.
-tR-This years crop of compet-
itors for the title of Miss America
went on public view yesterday in a
colorful boardwalk parade witnessed
by 10000 persons.
Fifty-four girls from 46 states,
four cities, Canada, Alaska, Puerto
Rico and Hawaii drew applause and
whistles as they rode a five-mile
stretch of the beachfront.
Most of the beauties rode in
decorated rolling chairs but four
were carried on huge Mardl- Gras
type floats designed by their spon-
sors They were Miss Alaska, Miss
New. Jersey, Miss Pennsylvania and
Miss Puerto Rico.
Maxine Cothern of Fairbanks, Al
aska, appeared in white parka and
black Stacks, standing high on her
float behind an Alaskan sled. Four
papier mache dogs were strung
ahead on simulated snow.
The parade easily was the most
tuneful and colorful of the post
war years.
