LAUNDRY CHORES

Washing clothes in crarnped
quarters is uncomfortable. firing
and takes longer than when there
is plenty of room around the wash
er and laundry tubs.
In remodeling or rearratging
your home laundry area plan am
pie work space for lifting and NOV
ing about with an armlOad OF
clothes or d laundry basket, sug-
gests Grace Ryan, home manage
ment specialist for the Agricultural
Extension Service at the University
Of Arizona.
Until recent years, homes in
Arizona were built with service
porches but with little planning for
the actual home laundry job. With
the wringer-type washer still the
most common in use, remodehng
recommendation now inclu d e
space for standing on three sides
Of the machine and at each end
of set of laundry tubs. When tubs
are not stationary along the wall,
additional work space can be al
lowed along the side of the. TUBS
opposite the machine.
Plenty of room around the
laundry work area permits closer,
safer operation of the washing
machine, easier lifting space for
sorting and startching and convent
ent walkways for carrying clothes
TO and from the machine.
In drawing up remodeling plans
fer the laundry area, another good
idea is to locate outlets so that
electric cords and hoses went be
tcipped over or snarled under foot.

RAIGHT
AHEAD
BY Julius j. Adams

vi
ing metropolis beside shimmefblg
Lake Michigan, with it's shabby and
unsightly flat buildings on the near
Southside and its magnificent man
sions along the Geld Coast, offers
the same kind of contrast in the
personalities of its kindly people.
But the town was in full bloom
for the Republican National Con-
vention over the past week. 1t
was wearing its best bib and
tucker
The ramshackle houses were
scrubbed clean and the vast lawns
of the big estates were trimmed
fine for the gay parties that de-
lighted the delegates and business
friends here for the big dOingS.
Chicagoans, both above and be-
lew the line are much more unSo-
phistocated than the folk along the
Eastern Seaboard. But they are
more lovable They get a genuine
thrill out of doing something nice
for their out-of-toWn guests. This
doesn't apply to politics, neceSsar-
lily. And there were some visitors
here who were backing General
Eisenhower who received mighty
rough treatment from the local
boys, most of whom were for Taft
from the start.
Among the estimated 10000 visi-
tors who occupied about 1900 no.
tel rooms, were many Negroes,
some delegates, some alternates,
and many, just as there were many
whites, who just came along to
rub elbows with the crowd.
The tremendous out-pouring Of
visitors was something Of denial
of the argument that people will
stay away from a show if they
can possibly see it on televiSiOn" or
hear it on radio. The networks per-
formed miracles to provide radio
and teleViSiOn 'cGVerage OF the Con-
vention, yet tickets could not be
had for love or money. It proved,
in a way, that if you produce the
attraction. tte people will want
to see '.the real thing" The Con-
vention was a big show. After a
fashion. it eclipsed anything John
Ringing North ever put on in
three rings under the Big Top.
Trying to cover national con-
vention is just about like trying
to dam the water in a sieve by
plugging a single hole. Each of the
48 states has a headquarters. The
territories. possessions and the Dis
Arizona sun., 1952-07-18

frict OF Columbia have headquar-
ters. Then, each candidate has his
headquarters. as do numerous
other committee and lobby groups.
With such 4 bitter fight as
marked the early days of the Con-
vention and the fierce fight for
delegates, there was potential
"big story" in any 0f these places.
The major newspapers and wire
services simply sent enough people
here to cover. The basement of
the Conrad Hilton Hotel. locale of
Convection Headquarters OF the
National Committee and of the
major candidate, was converted in
to a communications center, from
which millions of words were filed
daily by literally hundreds Of re-
pCrterS.
Trying to get through the lobby
of the Conrad Hilton Hotel was
like trying to work yuor way
through the midway when the
Hoochee Koochee girls were max
ing pitch. The Hotel is a big
fCAr-section building with 5000
rooms and 5000 baths. All its ether
appointments are proportionately
large, yet there was just too much
traffic for the space and facilities.
One reporter interviewed Senator
Duff over a can of garbage near
q service elevator Hundreds cf
delegates used the service elevator
when they discovered they could
get faster service. A few Of the
harder ones tried the steps, but
this was too rigorous.
In spite of all the excitement
downtown, the residents Of the
ScuthSide, sometimes known as the
BLACK Belt" appeared unconcern-
ed Except for the professional pol
iticians, the Negro sections seemed
totally oblivious to what was hap
pening. The voters out there just
did not seem tc care. AS matter
of fact, most of them would OK
claim, What Convention?" when
the subject was brought up.
It would be interesting to note,
however, that Negroes were here
lin large numbers. and participated
actively in the selection CT the
candidate. They have right TO
expect him to serve their best m
terest In event he should become
President. of the United States.

Nothing at Reddy's Corner - well,
almost so. Two full quarts of that
good old BIatz Beer for 1c = only
one lonesome penny. OF course,
there is a catch to it. But if you
are buying beer, it is a very good
deal anyway. Here is the deal.
YOU BUY ONE CASE OF BLATZ
CANS at the regular price of $5.O8,
which includes all sales tax and
everything. Then for only one
penny we give you two more
quarts of beer. That brings the
whole deal down below any beer

Well, that is just another in
cident where we here at Reddy's

Possibility That Princess Kathleen May Be Raised From 12O.13O Ft. of Water

VANCOUVER, B. C., (R- The possibility of raising the $5,000,00 luxury liner Princess Kathleen from 120 to 13O feet of water was studied here Tuesday by salvage experts.
 The captain of the Canadian Pacific liner expressed the opin- ion there is a good possibility of salvage.
 She's sitting upright" said Capt. Graham Hughes. "I esti- mate she's in 120 feet of water forward and 13O feet aft, resting on a slipping bank"
 The big ship crashed into the rocks Is miles north of Juneau Sunday and sank after 425 pas sengers and crewmen had been removed.
 Just why the ship happened to run into rocks in Lynn Canal was asked by three different sources which started investigations Mon day. One investigation was start ed by the company, the second by the Canadian Transport Depart ment and a third by the U. s. Coast Guard.
 Capt. Hughes said he was mot sure myself yet exactly what caused the mishap." The Kath- leen, making her last cruise of the season on the Alaska run, was a mile and half off course when she struck.

Princess Kathleen's
 Sistership Sunk During War II In Mediterranean

VANCOUVER, B.C., (P)-Com- pared to the fate of her sister ship, the Princess Kathleen had quiet end.
 The 5,908-ton Kathleen crunch ed aground Sunday near Juneau, and sank. All hands were saved.
 Her sister ship, the original Princess Marguerite, was sunk by enemy action in the Mediterra- mean in 1922. Battered and rav- aged by a succession of torpedo explosions, she went down with a gigantic roar when the flames reached her stores of ammunition.
 Both ships were built on Clyde bank in 1925. Both were used on the triangle run between Vancou- yer, Victoria and Seattle. The Kathleen was shifted to the lux ury Alaska cruise during the sum- merS.
 At least II Canadian Pacific steamship vessels were sunk dur ing the war, including the En- press of Britain, Empress of Can ada and Empress of Asia.

surveyed by George Washing
ton in 1748.
Suit died before his dream
was completed, leaving his
wife a stable fortune. Aware
of her inability to handle
money, he stipulated in his
will that she must complete
the castle to receive his en-
tire fortune. Mrs. Suit obeyed.
Then she ran through the
money in a whirl of parties
which, night after night, kept
the castle abiaze with lights.
A lawyer who handled the
estate told Mrs. Sally Horn,
an acquaintance of Mrs. Suits
still living in Berkeley Springs,
that the widow spent $50,000
in six months. But she was
generous as well as frivolous,
and much of her money went
to local less-fortunateS.
For years the town talked
of her workmen's ball, the
first party held after the
castle was completed. Mrs.
Horn recalls that all the
builders of the castle and
their families were invited to
drink champagne and dance.
Simeon S. Buzzerd, pub
Usher of the local newspaper,
still remembers the peacocks
that Mrs. Suit kept as pets.

age along the parapetS or
atop the tower at dawn, they
could be heard for miles, ne

TINE OLD saying, "A mans
Il home is his CASTLE" is
100 per cent true in the case
of DR.. Ward Keesecker, Office
of Education consultant. With
his wife and son, he lives in
a copy of a 18th century Nor
man castle on Warm Springs
Ridge, overlooking the town
of Berkeley Springs, w. Va.
DR.. Keesecker:s castle was
built shortly after the Civil
War by Col. Samuel T. Suit
as a gift for his wife Rosa.
The Suits were frequent visi-
tors to the mineral spring
baths, usually in the company
Of a fashionable crowd from
Washington. It was at a party
in Strother House, center of
the towns social activities,
that the elderly colonel con-
ceived the idea of presenting
his young wife with a castle
overlooking the springs.
Among the guests was A. D.
Mullett, designer of the State,
War and Navy Building. AS
Col. Suit became increasingly
excited over his idea of a
castle, the architect drew a
rough sketch on a menu.
There's your castle, my
friend" he said, tossing the
menu across the table.
The next day, Suit pur-
chased a large part of Warm
Springs Ridge. He laid out
his castle directly above the
springs, on land once a part
of the Lord Fairfax estate
