Rose petals gathered long, long ago;
Only faint, withered fragrance now
To haunt her quiet room and richly endoW
With, her love of beauty and colorful
Garden and house. and sweet scented
Roses OF June, once sparkling with dew,
Yellow and red. and soft-tinted hue;
Glowing pink radiance--the rose she loved

welcome guest;
Redolent ramblers mother would pluck
With beauteous talisman added for luck
A dear lowering spirit comes from afar,

(From Mrs. E. B. NJ. WGshingto',J
To the reader who asked
whether to purchase an electric or
a gas range. I say by all means
to purchase an electric one! / had
been used to gas all my life, but
"a few years ago changed to elec-
tricity because the gas fluctuated
so much. Turned low, it would go
out; if turned high enough not to
go out. it might become higher
and burn the food.
The electric range has been a
joy, but I would advise buying one
with four top burners or the type
of deep well burner which can be
brought to the top. I and some of
my friends find little use for the
deep well. although I know some
do use it a great deal. But I
brought my burner up and use 1t
there all the time. keep my gas
stove in the basement to facilitate
cooking for large groups.
Sometimes readers ask about
preferable cooking utensils. I have
tried both the copperclad stain
less steel and the heavy aluminium.
I find that food burns much more
quickly in the former. and do
not care for it at all. I adore my
aluminium utensils and do not find
that they are heavy to handle. So
long as they are washed well after
use, I do not feel it necessary to
scour them even if they are some
what dark inside. There are so
many other more constructive
ways to spend ones time.

REMOVING GUM:

(From Mrs. W. II. J., Arlinotoal

From Mrs. W. H. j., Arlington)
Mrs. A. L. F., The Plains: I find
the best way to remove chewing
gum from any surface Is to use
nail polish remover. This Is eS-
pecially good when gum gets into
children's hair where the use Of
cleaning fluid is undesirable.
Mrs. M. c. O., Washington: We
have used several methods for
getting rid of fleas in rugs and
find the quickest and most ef-
fective way is to sprinkle the rugs
with moth fakes. Just leave the
flakes down for a very short time
and then take them up with the
vacuum cleaner. This works very
well when the fleas get into the
basement also.

Catholic Group Hits
Some Papers Jeerinq
Stories in Book Probe

The National Council of Catholic
Men today attacked some news
papers for reporting in allegedly
"jeering terms" a House investiga-
ton of popular publications that
overemphasize sex and crime.
A statement by Francis I. Nally
president of the council, was read
into the record as House COM
mittee under Representative
Gathings, Democrat, of Arkansas
held it's second day of hearings on
Objectionable comic books, maga-
zines and pocket-size books.
1T ill-becomes the free press
of this country to look upon one Of
the most serious mortal evils of
our times and to report it in the
jeering terms of those who have
lost the ideals that have made free
America great" the statement
read. Some editors and some re-
porters can see nothing but humor
in permitting the distribution of a
poison that is SO lethal in its con-
tent that it can destroy not only
the whole fabric of American So
ciety but wreck the lives and souls
of our children"
Mr.. Nally is editor of the
Chronicle, a Catholic magazine
published in Toledo, Ohio.
Stern Measures Urged.
His statement was read by the
Rev. John Fitzgerald Of Chicago
spokesman for the National
Council. He called for stern Fed
eral measures against objection
able publications"
Father Fitzgerald suggested the
trade could police itself by estab-
fishing "a code with the co-opera-
ton of religious, civic and educa-
tional leaders"
He recommended that the
Gathings committee set itself UP
as a continuing body to safeguard
the neWsstands and encourage
Federal legislation to bar inter-
state shipment of questionable
material and impound the mail of
distributors of obscene literature
pending court decisions.
Doesn't Suggest Censorship.
Mr.. Gathings said: II note
that you don't suggest Federal
censorship"
Federal censorship is not truly
in the spirit of Americanism-at
least not until every other means
is exhausted to protect our chill
dren," Father Fitzgerald replied.
There are plenty of clean dis
tributors and they should be given
the chance to handle the situa-
tion before Congress gives a
thought to censorship"
Father Fitzgerald submitted to
the committee the titles of "a
pocketbooks, 106 magazines and
80 comic books which, he said,
the National Organization of De-
cent Literature condemned.
The pocket-size book titles in
cluded numerous lurid phrases, but
also included better known titles
such as What Makes Sammy
Run" Sanctuary" Tobacco
Road Forever Amber" "The
Curtain Never Falls" and Mickey
Splllane's Il, The Jury"

BIick Urges Group to Check
Newsstdnds for Obscenity

watch out for acknowledged por-
|nography sold under-the-counter
There should be a committee
not to censor. but to 60 around
and pick up these books and il
there is anything obscene, report
it to the police" Inspector Blick
testified.
He said his morals-minded
policemen now ordinarily act only
upon receiving a complaint.
He could do more, he said, if he
had a law making it a felony to
possess obscene material. Under
present statutes, possession is only
a misdemeanor-and then only II
police can prove intent to sell or
exhibit the material.
Inspector Blick also would like
to jail authors Of obscene stories
Distributors don't know what's
in the books" he said, "but the
men who write the filth know"
Testifies to Quick Action.
Mr.. Ottenstein testified that he
acted quickly on receiving COM
plants against any book or maga-
zine that he distributes. But he
insisted that Congress should let
the industry keep itself clean. He
said that is what the industry is
doing.
Another distributor, Samuel
Black of Springfield, Mass, said
New England doesn't go for dirty
books, but they eat that stuff
up in the South"
Committee Chairman Gathings
of West Memphis, Ark, stiffened.
"Of course" he commented icily,
you distribute in New England
and are an authority on that
area"
Means No Offense.
Mr.. Black looked at the CELL
ing and said that, IF any one
here is from the South, 1 meant
no offenSe."
The witness table was Uttered
with score of comic books and
another score of pocket-sized
novels that had shocked the COM
mittee staff. When the committee
adjourned, policeman moved to
the table with the announcement
that he was standing guard until
the exhibits were taken to place
of safekeeping.
