courageous Florida coordnator for the National Assoca

HAPPENINGS THAT AFFECT THE
FUTURE OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL

u. A. Livingston syndicated writer economic af-
fairs recently devoted column to the 1858 business out

Electric as saying, II believe business in 1858 will be
good as maybe better than, this year. expect
that sometime in the second quarter . we'll have to
start selling harder than at any time since the end of the
war"
leaders believe they must do real selling job in the
future though the personal income of
Americans at the highest level in history Mr. Livingston
cites several why this should be true One that
the prospect of initiation longer incentive to

that rea income per person-whch takes into account

Another business forecast came from the National

LETTER FROM
BILL L,ANTAFF
Dear Neighbor:


While the orange bowl festival
ushered in the New Year, 1853,
in South Florida, the new 83rd
Congress- was sworn into office
on Saturday to set the stage for
a new governmental year under
a new Republican administration.
busting off the proverbial cry
stall ball, for a look into the fu-
ture. one can see that events in
the world during the next year
will be shaped by the actions of
the Communists as they move to-
ward their detectives of a Com
munist World dominated by the
Kremln.
Let there be no misunderstand-
ing about the motives of Stain.
Unquestionably, Russia would
prefer to avoid war, but if we let
down our guard in the free world
then the Communists would &C.
cept the risk of World War III
and would move more boldly in
to areas of the world not now
U11Q6F THEIR COIlLIO1.
Such actions fit into their plan
to cut our world markets and
cripple our foreign trade. Since
America is an exporting nation,
the Russians hope to thus weaken
us economically. Stain will also
do all he can to split the unity
of the free world. BY getting us
to fight amongst ourselves, the
Communists are weakening our
ability to resist aggression. Part
of the Russian strategy is to
put out peace feelers every
once in a while in order to get us
to slow down in our military
buildup and to lull us into a false
sleep with dreams of peace and
world and national security. So
in 1858 this struggle with the
Communists will go on and we
must remain alert else false
sleep becomes a Red nightmare.
A blue print for Americas flu
ture has been outlined by in
coming President Eisenhower.
Peace will remain our number
one objective and while we
will always keep the door open
to peace, appeasement is not the
price we're willing to pay. With
President Eisenhower at the helm
of our ship of State, our course
will be to continue our fight for
the free world in Korea to an
honorable conclusion. We will
avoid extending the present con-
fllct but in so doing we will make
1t clear that we will not permit
further Communist aggression. BY
the action of the United States
and United Nations in resisting
Red aggression in Korea we prov
ed that the UN body is not mere
~ a debating society but an in
strument of peace. We will con-
tlnue our support of the UN and
continue our efforts to strenthen
that body. We will continue our
support of the free nations in
their bulldup to deter Red dom
lnatlon but in so doing we will
continue to place more and moro
responsibility on these countries
to strengthen their own defenses
Inc price OF peace is high. Our
own military expenditures for ma
tlonal security will continue IN
run nearly IS percent of our bud
get, although as we begin to reach
our estimated peak - a stretch
out OF our aims program will per
NIT reduced spending in the
years ahead. Yes, the price OF
peace is high but we must re-
member the price of war is nam
not only in dollars but in Ameri-
can lives. I think we would al
rather pick up the tab for peace

Your Sleeping Rooms Can Be inexpensive to Decorate
By Betty Lenohon

There are SO many ways to
make q bedroom attractive that
one need be neither a decorative
genius nor q millionaire to do so.
Bedrooms are perhaps the
easiest and most inexpensive
rooms In the house to decorate.
A fresh coat Of paint. q few
yards OF fabric, one or two addi-
tional accessories and a little
imagination will give new sparkle
to the drabbeSt and most unin-
teresting bedroom.
For the amateur decorator,
well-styled bedroom ensembles
are a good idea-they will be
sure to harmonic in color and
style and will give the room a
unified appearance.
The bedroom illustrated her
is an excellent example of what
can be done to bring charm and
personality into an ordinary,
non-imaginative room. The old
maple spool bed and Boston
rocker are the keynoteS Of the
decorative scheme.
Since these lovely old pieces
call for simple, rather homespun
accessories, a bedroom ensemble
consisting Of coverlet, dressing
table skirt and cafe curtains
(not shown made of fine-woven
cotton was chosen.
The essence of the prim charm
OF early New England is cap
tured in the all-over print de-
sign in shades of red and green
on a white background. The
spread is ample enough in
length to fold over the pillows,
giving a smart bolster effect.
The dressing table skirt is
fitted to an old kitchen table
with glaSS-covered top; a piano
stool, Of the Victorian era, with
q yellow seat cushion. makes a
quaint little vanity stool. The
large gilt-framed mirror, brass
lamps. ceramic. powder box,
milglasS flower holder, marine
and Currier Ives prints blend
nicely with the simple furnish
ingS Of the room.
The yellow walls and char
treuse cotton rug lend extra
color notes and provide a soft
and charming background for
the maple furniture and bright
print fabric.
Answers to Questions.

gold planters on the walls.
What colors would you suggest
for q sofa. two easy chairs and
q desk chair. I could get a

A. For your new living room
furniture I suggest the follow
ing: Sofa, royal blue; easy
chairs, one gray and one red;
