parties, and arrives wearing an
orchid, just as she did in the
days when she was first lady.
Several times a month she
plays bridge. The sessions some
times last till midnight.
Mrs. Wilson is a big woman
who likes elaborate clothes. At
teas she usually wears lowered
hats, two or three pieces of
jewelry and furS.
Washington was her home be-
fore she married the widower,
President Wilson, in 1915, so she
stays on. She attends church
at the Washington Cathedral
where her husband is buried.
Leeds Quiet Life
Wering hemlockS almost
completely hide the handsome
home of Mrs. Coolidge. Through
a break in the trees she can be
seen occasionally having meal
on a pretty Second-story porch.
For a year and a half, since
she suffered a heart attack, she
has had to limit her activities
to quiet dinners with small
groups of old friends. The ILL
ness put her in a hospital and
she returned home only after an
elevator had been installed in
her three-story house, Road
Forks.

less active enthusiasm. But she
keeps on making fine needle
point, much of which she gives
to the wife of her son John of
Pennington. Conn.
A maid takes care of the house,
but on good days Mrs. Coolidge
still likes to do her own shop
ping. Northampton folks permit
her to go quietly about her
business.
She has become quite thin
and a little stopped. Sometimes
tourists pass her by without
realizing they have glanced at
Northampton's most famous
citizen.
But let a story appear about
her and she is again deluged
with mail. People begin calling
to ask favors or just talk about
the good old days of keep cool
with Coolidge" The maid tends
them all off.
The name Calvin Coolidge"
still appears on the window of
his old law Office in faded gold
lettering. Sometimes, tourists
stop in to ask Kenneth Hemen-
way, only remaining member of
the firm, why he doesn't have it
touched up.
Mrs. Coolidge is still a meticu-
lous dresser; still likes navy blue
and that rich shade of red which
she wore to many White House
parties.
She says of her presently en-
forced quiet life, I'm making
the most of my limitations"
She says it with that sparkling
smile which made her so popular
in Washington.

Forced Air Drying
Gives Better Hay

Forced air drying of alfalfa and
other hay crops will improve quail
ity from one to two grades and will
save most of the leaves and green
color, says Byron L. BOndurant,
agricultural engineer of the Del
aware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice.
Furthermore, the artificially
cured hay contains more protein,
is more palatable, and has a high
er feeding value, he says.
There are driers designed for
loose, baled, or chopped hay.
Most farmers are using natural
forced air, but good results can
be expected from either. natural or
heated sir. The choice depends
largely on the size of the operation.
Any system must be tailored to
fit needs and the existing buildings
on the farms. Commercially built
systems are available but must be
properly adapted
BOndurantla advises farmers plan
ming to install dTier systems to
contact their county agent for the
help of an agricultural engineer
who has had experience with hay

acreage OF hay, harvesting meth

would have been satisfied" The
Milford Community Concert Asso-
citation was indeed, fortunate to
hear Miss Bronze in her farewell
concert with the Columbia Concert
Trio, after six years with this very
fine organization. From now on,
Miss Bronze will appear in solo
concert, and all success be her
reward.
Cellist, Miss Aryth Alton, capti-
waited her audience with her lovely
rendition of the "Andante" of Rach-
maniOff. The Introduction and
POlonaise Brillante" by Chopin re-
quired technical skill and facility
of a. great artist and Miss Alton
rose to the occasion. Her encore,
"The Swan" drew a sigh from
the audience. The blending of the
cello in the trio works was truly
a high mark. Great sensitivity of
tone-blending and shading, infus-
ed the trio as one instrument.
The question has been raised
here as to why Mr.. GregOr is not
a solo artist with Columbia. His
ability as, a concert accOmpanist
of the first magnitude is not un-
der estimated. 1t is rare, however,
to find a pianist that can nimbly
change from such an accOmpanist
to a sOloist in short order. One
would never have known the piano
lid had been lifted during the
american Folk Songs That soft
pianissimo playing, needed SO
much in accompanying, and play
ing with clarity, will never be for
gotten. The Chopin numbers were
unfOrgetable and the Strauss Waltz
as the encore, was favored with
such dash and contrasting moods
that it was the first time some
thoroughly enjoyed all of this
composition. Many want to hear
Mr.. Gregor in his own solo con-
cert.

vides for an adjustment in exemp-
tions so that instead of the $4,000
deduction now enjoyed, for exam
pie, by man and wife, the taxable
will receive a 5000 exemption and
his wife $500.
On the brighter side, Mr.. Chris
tie pointed out, the exemption for
increased from 5000
to $500. In families of four or less
the tax will be more, but in larger
families, the attorney emphasized,
there will be larger exemption.
The bill, similar to the federal
law, provides an additional 5000
exemption for persons over 65
years of age and an exemption of
$500 for blind persons. Medical ex-
penses up to five per cent may also
be deducted, Mr.. Christie said, add
ing that the maximum deduction
for gifts or donations has been
increased from Is to 20 percent.
Rep. James r. Quigley (D-New
Castle) asked if this bill means
that we are going to be compelled
to pay further tax on money we
never ysee."
"That is correct" replied Mr..
Christie.
"If we don't get the money it's
certainly not income" said the
representative.
"This tax is similar to the gross
income tax" Mr.. Christie said, re-
ferring to the levy approved by the
1949 General Assembly under the
urging of former Gov. EIbert N.

Columbia Concert Trio
Preesnts Final COncer,

The COlumhia Concert Trio pre-
sented the last program of the
Milford Community Concert Series
of 1928, in the Milford High
School Auditorium on Sunday, May
3. The weather was one for an au-
tOmobile ride, but attendance was
at a high mark to hear this inter
esting trio of chamber music.
Each artist has achieved indi-
vidual recognition on his respec-
tive instrument, and the cOmbina-
tiOn of talents produced a stimu-
lating musical experience which
will long be remembered.
From the moment they entered
the stage, perfection pervaded.
Miss Bronze and Miss Alton wore
beautiful gowns of contrasting col
Ors. and Mr.. GregOr, not to be out
done, was in afternoon formal at
tire.
The program opened with the
Scherzo from the Trio in d Minor
of Mendelssohn, an excellent OPEN
ing number. From then on, the
audience went right along with
them into a whirl of compositions
that held them breathless.
Miss Ariana Bronze, the violin
ist, played Sarasate's Carmen Fan
tasy" with an accuracy and bril-
.liance that has seldom been heard,
with the exception of the great
Heifetz. LA FOntaine d'Arethuse"
with enharmonics that would
stump any viOlinist, was played
with such exactness, yet, a flowing
ease that left one completely lost
as to the difficulty; lost in the to-
nal beauty of the composition. One
member of the audience was heard
to say, Miss Bronze could have
played that number forever and

Urge Farmers To
Supply Wheat Data
tcontlnued from fIrst 10

Area instruction schools were
held during the past few days for
PflA county Office personnel in all
counties, and county Offices are
now ready to receive wheat pro-
ductiOn data from every wheat
grower in the State who grew wheat
for use in any one of the years
1851, 1862, or 1868.
Any farmer who grew wheat for
use in any one Of these years
should, by all means, visit the
County PIMA Office at the earliest
possible date and not later than
May 22nd, according to Harry will
son, Chairman of the Kent COun-s
ty PMA Committee.
Mr.. Wilson emphasized that the
final decision has not.yet been made
as to whether acreage allotments
or marketing. quotas will be used
for the 1854 crops of wheat. How
ever, the indicated wheat supply
is such that production controls
will probably be necessary, as di-
rected by law.
An early start on the necessary
advance work is particularly uF-
gent Mr.. Wilson explained, because
the decision and proclamation must
be made not later than July 1st
for marketing quotas and July is
for acreage allotments without quo
tas. # quotas are proclaimed,
national referendum among grow
ers must be held by July 25th.
THE County PIMA Committee is
ready to assist any wheat grower
in establishing a wheat allotment
for his farm Mr.. Wilson pointed
out, "It is the responsibility Of
each wheat grower in Kent Coun-
ty to cooperate In this effort by
furnishing wheat production data
to the County PMA Office at once
if he expects to receive equal treat
ment with other wheat growers.
