Engraving of Washington
Manifestations of the tremend-
GUS popular acclaim for George
Washington in the early days of
the Republic were common in late
eighteenth-century homes. On
Winterthur's Stamper-Blackwell
Porch is a typical example in
carved-wood sculpture: the classi-
cal goddess of victory holding the
wreath of fame over bust of the
General. Washington's Inaugural
tion in 1889 is depicted in tinted
engraving made by Amos Doolittle
of New Haven. 1t is displayed in
the Dining Room Cross Hall. A
splendid portrait of the first Presi-
dent, done by Gilbert Stuart in
1895, hangs over the mantel in the
Du Pont Dining Room. Fired with
patriotic fervor, the young Ameri-
can nation sought symbols of its
hard-won sovereignty. In 1882
Congress adopted the official Seal
of the United States-an eagle,
poised for flight, surrounded by
thirteen stars. The emblem captur-
ed the imagination of people
who had discarded personal insig-
mia and family coats of arms as
being undemocratic. In furniture,
fabrics, ceramics, mirrors, and sill
yer, the emblem of the eagle pre-
sided over households from New
Hampshire to Georgia. Represen-
tative of this period is porcelain

ForWoy to Cut RetoiI Price and Not Hurt Formers

New York's new Democratic
Governor, Averell Hartman,
has announced he will appoint
a woman to his staff to look
after the interests Of con-
sumers. One of her first tasks.
he has said, will be to try to
find a way to reduce the retail
price of fluid milk without low
ering the price. received by
farmers.
1t is patent that the price to
farmers-already set by the
Government-cannot be low
cred if they are to stay in the
dairy business. Milk is retail
ing slightly over 81 cents a
quart as a national average.
The farmer who produces it re-
ceives slightly over 9 cents.
This price covers the cost of
production only for the most
efficient farmers, which, in
general, means those with the
most capital, and then only
by careful breeding and culling
of animals for sale at fancy
prices.
These also depend on the
condition of the dairy business
as a whole. Items entering into
cost are the price of grain, held
high by some Government in
spection costs, and compul-
sorry Government paper work,
some of which is contradictory
and irrational.

sumer's only protection is a

3 Consumers are also pro-

We can't have it both ways.
There is a Federal milk mar

throughout the country, the
largest being New York City
and environs. Federal and State
administrators (for products
not in interstate commerce)
under a very complicated set
of regulations already fix the
price which the distributor
must pay to the farmer. The
distributors add their costs
relatively high for a perishable
product inspected all along the
line. The storekeeper adds his
mark-up. Identical milk can
have a scent differential ac-
cording to where one buys it
or whether 1t is delivered.

milk will be cheaper and more

The U. N. members have de-
