Family Life In Holland, Subject Of Letter
From Blufftonite Enroute To Switzerland

The following is a continuation
of a letter written from Holland
by ID. w. Bixler, of Kibler street,
who is in Europe to attend the
international conference of Men
J nonites in Switzerland.
"Our trip also took us to an island
called Markon, which has on it a
town by the same name. Population
of the entire island is 1900. Here
we were permitted to enter a typical
Dutch home.
1.-THE first floor consisted of a liv-
ing room, kitchen and another small
room; no bedroom. The bed was
like a built-in cupboard at the fan
end of the living room. 1t was i'm
movable. At the foot of the bed and
about two feet above the bed was a
built in bed for the baby. 1t also
was immovable and looked like an
old-fashioned cradle.
eff there were other smaller child
rem in the family there were several
units under the bed which they used
as sleeping quarters. Older children
were transferred to the second story
of the house. Through a hole in the
ceiling, two feet square, we saw a
bureau and chair. From all appear
ances it looked like the second floor
was reached by ladder.
"A very noticeable thing was the
few items of furniture, chairs, table
and heating stove about covered the
picture. There is no place for dish
es, which were many in number.
They were placed on the four living
room walls. We were told that
every Friday all the dishes are taken
down and busted. We were there
Tuesday, and it looked like they had
been busted the day before.
Hollanders Are Scrubbers
"That is nj thing which impress
es you all over Holland. 1t is so
clean-sidewalks and streets are
washed very frequently, and no litter
can be seen around anyplace.
"The clothing for the family is
homemade, and typically Dutch. 1t
is quite colorful, uniform in design,
but varying in color. The clothing
for children up to six years of age
is the same for boys and girls. In
the words of the guide "after the
children are six years you can then
tell by their clothing that "she" is a
"he".
"a pattern for boys and one for
girls is used for from six to IS
years. At that age boys begin to
look for girl friends and are now
eligible for marriage. That is a big
event, and a specially designed garb
is used for bride and groom, in which
many of their ancestors had been
married. They exhibited to us we'd
ding apparel which had been in use
for 200 years.
Summer Wear Is Heavy
"The men wear heavy black bloom
.ers-like trousers-with red flannel
shirts, black stockings and wooden
shoes. That is the way they were
dressed the day we were there. How
they can stand all that on a hot
summer day is beyond me. How
ever, they move about leisurely and
are in no hurry.

6. 0. P. May Revive
'SeIf-Finaneing' Of
Farm Programs
BY Ovid A. Mortin
A.socioted Press Sfcff Writer

The incoming Eisenhower ad-
ministration probably will seek
ways of returning to the self
financing" features Of early New
Deal farm programs.
The Republicans are committed
to broad price support programs
which over the last Is years have
cost taxpayers slightly more than
81 billion.
But President-elect Eisenhower,
as we'll as Ezra Taft Benson. his
choice for Secretary Of Agriculture,
have made known desire to re-
duce the cost of price support pro-
grams to the Government.
Early New Deal programs were
financed in part by what were
called processing taxes-that is.
taxes levied on the first processing
operation of farm product, such
as the milling of wheat into flour,
slaughter of hogs for pork. and
so on. This tax was knocked out
by 1886 Supreme Court decision
which declared the then existing
Agricultural Adjustment Act to-
be unconstitutional.
Several Methods Discussed.
Since that time costs of sup
porting farm prices have fallen
on the Treasury. Suggestions
were made several times during
the late 1930s that the processing
tax idea be revived.
Several methods of self f-flnanc-
ing price guarantee programs
have been discussed by farm lead
ers in recent years.
They include: Two-price sys-j
TENS. processing taxes and price
insurance.
Under the two-price system
farmers themselves would con-
tribute to a fund to finance export
of surpluses at cut-rate prices.
They would get the benefit of
high-level supported price on
products consumed domestically-
minus a deduction for the ex-
port fee.
Tax in Limited Use Now.
Under the processing tax plan,
the Government would collect fees
from processing of farm products.
The money obtained would be used
to pay costs of supporting prices
of affected farm commodities.
Such a tax now pays the cost of
supporting grower prices of sugar
cane and sugar beets.
Under the price insurance plan,
growers would take out Govern
ment insurance policies to protect
them against price declines below
designated levels. They would
pay premiums for such policies. A
limited crop insurance program
protecting growers against crop
losses from drought. floods and
the like-is now in effect and is
self financed.
The price insurance and the
self financing type of tWo-price
plans differ from the processing
tax in one major feature. The
cost of the former would be borne
by farmers themselves, while the
processing tax would be borne,
in the final analysis. by consum-
ers of the farm products involved.
