that every precaution against
mishap will be taken.
The proposed regulation would
forbid any one to leave unat-

freezer locker of 11a or more
cubic feet capacity. unless the
door is fastened securely enough
to keep a child out.

Jurisdictions before the Senate
juvenile delinquency investiga-
tors.
I'm these matters, think
Washington should rely on its
own" he said. "These undercov-
ermen are Steered to the worst
spots in town in the time they
are here. I don't believe the Cap
ital is the worst crime spot in
the country"
In other comments on juvenile

on the parents in most cases.
He also suggested that the
residents of such places as
Dixon's court, cited as a Slum
before the subcommittee, be
given brooms to clean up with.
II know my yard would look
like that-with trash strewn
about tiff I didn't get out
every morning, rain or shine, and
pick up the paper and trash
thrown on it from autos and
Buses" he commented.
1t will cost the District be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 to
wish it's employees a Merry Christ
mas and a Happy New Year by
giving them a halliday off be-
fore each holiday, Mr.. Camalier
said. The cost comes from

such as policemen and firemen
who will work that day. The
money will come from such
sources as unused leave, he said.

Give Your Hubby A
Night Out Occasionally

There is a deep-seated desire
in all men for feeling of IL
berty. Even if you've been mar
ried only a few months, you
probably have realized your hus-
band doesn't like to feel chained
or managed.
If he's normal young man,
he undoubtedly likes the idea
| that he is free to come and go
as he sees fit. But the scheduled
night out that you arrange to
give him a sense of independ-
ence, says the october issue OF
Good Housekeeping magazine,
gives him no such feeling OF
freedom.
To accord your husband genu-
inc freedom, let him initiate MS
own recreation away from home.
The first time he calls you and
SAYS somewhat apologetically
that a war buddy is in town and
he wonders if you'd mind if they
had dinner and a chance to
talk, you may feel a little hurt.
But don't let the hurt creep in
to your voice. He has a reason.
He certainly would like his
buddy to meet you if there were
more time. But tonight he is
showing you off 'fn absentia."" |
He is demonstrating that the
girl he married is not the nag
ging, managing type who be
grudges him a night out with |
a friend. This he knows, will
impress his buddy more than ali
the home-cooked dinners and
cozy homes in the world.
You'll be accorded A-pluS for
a first performance and will pro-
baby be rewarded with some
flowers or a night at the movies,
But the article doesn't imply |
for a moment that a husband |
should want to spend four nights |
a week from home.
The author feels that if you
do allow your husband his free
dom, he will want to spend more
nights at home if he doesn't
have to prove his freedom to
himself. But these attitudes on
your part should not be decep-
tive little ways of giving your
husband only the illusion of
freedom. His essential manliness
is at stake a husbands night
out should be really and truly
his.

it rough, harsh and repelelnt.
All of the beauty that you may

by an ugly voice. Many women

der that theymay be pleasing
when they speak. Most people
are astounded when they hear

Pineapple Cranberry Salad. Make
this salad for Saturday night sup
per, to 60 with ham and sausage;
or serve it along with creamy
chicken in patty shells at a buffet
party. Pineapple-Cranberry Salad
will brighten a pot roast dinner

Handsome cranberries on our
food counters predict an unforset-
able good tang in many fall
dishes. We are quite different from
our grandmothers; their use OF
crarberries was mostly in sauce.
Modern homemakers add cranber-
ries for color and flavor in pies,
cakes mullins, sherbet, and salads.
Mealy red berries have a perfect
chance to add favor and eye ap-
peal when they are in a tasty
nodded salad. In buffet supper,
where you plan to please guests
with easy help-yourself foods,
nodded salad that doubles as a
relish is wise flavor planning.
This salad uses fresh cranber~
ries. They are one of the few
foods, nutritionists tell us, which
abound in vitamin c.
