Coronation TeIecasts
By Stations in U. S.
Defended by Nutting
By the Assoeiassd Press

LONDON. June 18.-The vast
majority of American television
stations exercised good taste in
broadcasts of the coronation of
Queen Elizabeth II, the House
of Commons was told yesterday
by Anthony Nutting, Undersecre-
tary Of State for Foreign At
fairs.
Many Britons were aroused by
reports that the coronation pic
lures were used in the United
States with commercial an
nouncements. The reports were
seized upon by opponents of a
plan to introduce a controlled
form of commercialized broad
casting in Britain.
"All information available
shows clearly that the treatment
Of the coronation in the United
States was a most profound
manifestation Of sympathy and
good will toward Britain" Mr..
Nutting said. "Her Majesty's
Ambassador in Washington re-
ports that during the main show
ing of the television Aim by the
three networks with which the
British BroadcaSting Corp. made
special arrangements, CONNER
cials were reduced to an extent
unprecedented in American tele-
vision"
A Labor Party member, Maui
rice Edelman, asked whether "in
this controversy between public
and private television you are on
the side Of the chimpanzee." He
referred to a chimpanzee's ap-
pearance on a National Broad
casting Co. program in which
coronation still pictures also
were shown.
"The program in which this
particular animal appeared was
not q coronation program" Mr..
Nutting replied.
1T was a news magazine pro-
gram in which the chimpanzee
appears to be a regular feature,
and certain people no doubt like
this particular feature. pass no
judgment on it myself, but it so
happened that this news maga-
zine program had some still
photographs Of the coronation
included in it. It was not q
special broadcast, or rebroadcast
or retelevising Of the coronation
ceremony"
The British Broadcasting Corp.
got into the discussion by issuing
a statement on June 8 saying it
had received confirmation Of re-
ports that the broadcasting Of
the coronation service from
Westminster Abbey was marred
in the United States by the in
PRODUCTION of advertisements"
After Mr.. Nutting's statement
in the House a BIC spokesman
said he had mo comment"

him so cents. That was an easy way
to get rid of him and probably the
poor old fellow was thirsty.
Good and Bloody
One agent selling magazine SUBJ
scriptions offered me two farming
magazines, saying all farmers should
have these magazines $50 they could
read about farming in their leisure
time"
I said jokingly, ''That's where
you're wrong. That's bad psychol-
ogy. Farmers should get away from
farm subjects to rest their minds.
They need something different
personally, like detective maya
zines.'
Before he could reply, my little
daughter piped up, eve like good
bloody murder, don't we, mother?"
1 thought the poor man turned
pale. Anyway, he hastily departed,
glad, no doubt, to escape from me
and my blood thirsty little daughter.
The whole family laughed about
that for a long time.
And the Spices Man
That spice salesman was just to
our liking. He loved to talk pol
itics and signs of the times" We'd
make a feeble show of looking at
his sample case-soap, spices and
what not. Then my husband would
slyly open the subject with 'feel-
ers" such as, what do you think
of so-and-so's chances to get elect
ed?" Or 'Iooks like cattle are going
into slump, just as thought they
would"
The spices would be forgotten, the
fun would begin. We'd stand around
the kitchen until we'd get leg
weary, then slow up long enough to
make our way to the soft chairs in
the dining room where we would
continue undated, finally discov-
ering that our political sentiments
were quite congeniaL
But it was great fun hashing it all
over, and the spice business didn't
do so badly either since we'd buy
a careless assortment of stuff before
he left to sort of compensate him
for the time he'd wasted on us.
Yes, I have been tackled by all
kinds of agents and solicitors, SELL
ing books, magazine subscriptions,
this, that or the other. Some times
the money was to buy wheel chairs,
iron lungs, hospital beds or points
for scholarships. I have sent my
share of young men to. college if
they used the points I bought to
take them there.
really do think I'll start a guest
book for book agents when another
season rolls around. And for all I
know maybe the statesmen who stop
here put some kind of a sign on the
gatepost as they go out, a sign which
probably says, ''This is a good place
to sell. Woman very gullible, will
buy anything" Yes, I like book
agents.

YES, / LIKE book agents and any
and all agents. strange as it may
seem to others. These knights of
the road break the monotony of
farm life, especially in isolated
places such as are likely to be found
around Montana.
And through the years of my res
idence here have enjoyed many a
tilt with them. Sometimes l bought
their wares, sometimes 1 didn't;
either way it was fun meeting them
and talking with them. 1 now regret
that l didn't have them sign my
guest book, though possibly some
would have hesitated to set down
their true signatures. Maybe this
would have been a good way to have
filtered out the true from the false.
AS we live in a productive valley
and on a main highway, they must
assume that we have money, hence
they comb this area thoroughly.
There are all kinds, and their
products are miscellaneous, too.
Young Man. Big Hat
There was that good-looking
young man in the big hat who said
he came from Miles City. So had
I, once upon time, and in the
course of our conversation we found
that we knew many of the same
people. My youngsters, standing by,
finally said, Mother, if you keep
on talking you'll probably find out
that he's your cousin, or something"
When I didn't have the necessary
change for magazine SUBSCRIPTION,
he suggested a chicken, and we
'tran down. big red rooster which
went into the crate on his car with
others he had collected. For several
years the young man with the Stet-

why. My meager subscriptions
surely didn't merit any bonuses.
But I still have the blanket.

God.PIanned
Homes
Lesson for November /, 1853

MO Christian home can be found
4 between the covers Of the
Bible. Naturally there were no
Christians before Christ, and the
New Testament books were all
written so early in our era that
what we know as a Christian home
could not exist. Jesus himself was
brought up in Jewish home. Tim
othy had Jewish mother but
Greek father, and the faith" that
was in his mother and grand
mother was not. probably the
faith of Christians Nobody named
in the Bible was married in a
Christian church by a Christian
minister We have to say, if we
stick to the facts Of history. that
the Christian home is something
that developed out of the Christian
faith which the Bible inspires and
inStructs, rather than something
the Bible directly describes.

About Roads

TIED DALTON Republican candidate for
governor, has proposed bond issue for
building Virginia roads of 500 million over
period of five years. Mr.. Stanley, Demo-
cratic candidate, has announced his support
OF the pay as-you-go principle of road
building Thirty years ago Virginia chose
the payas-you-go system; North Carolina,
the bond issue plan.
How have the two plans worked out?
The Winchester Star answers this ques-
ton editorially as follows:
When the pay-as-you-go program was
adopted nearly 80 years ago, Virginia had
no highways and no farm to-market roads
Route l. S. l from Richmond to Washing
ton was untravelable in wet weather. Yet,
