"The main reason for this,

The last refuge of the sulk-

Not according to analyses

Gallup poll and makers Of
home canning equipment. The
surveys indicate that approx
imately 20 million, or AZ per
cent, of all homemakers do
home canning every year. In
rural areas the proportion of
home Gamers jumps to 80 per
cent.
And what is the most pop

While the situation may
vary in accordance with crops
and prices, it's generally
agreed tomatoes are No. / on
the list. The reason is sim
pie. They're easy to grow in
home gardens, they're easy to
put up," and they're reason
able in price. And, too. there
are so many different ways
they can be canned: Whole or
quartered, tomato juice, in
chill sauce. catsup, pickles or
relish.
Other favorites with the
homemaker are her own home
made pickles, jellies and rel
iSheS.
From Colonial times, when
the inventory of any persons
estate invariably listed pre-
serving kettles, stone and
earthen jars, and jelly glasses,
to the present, women have
taken pride in making these
special dellcacieS. There's Just
something about a jar of
homemade pickles you don't
find in the "store-bought"
variety.
Although they tell us the
peach crop will be short this

glad to have a few jars Of
peach pickles on the shelf for
extra special occasions.

"And yes, ! do feel happy and

materials by yanking, twisting
and feeling. I try out perfumes
from the free atomizers. I go
from store to store comparing
prices. I sample cheeses, collect
swatches. I like to get my
moneys worth"
That seems to be it, Mr..
Gilman. The inveterate shopper
is hunting for the most for the
least money. When she gets it
she's fulfilled. As for me, it
looks as if I'll have to get
my fulfillment some other way.
Shopping, even when it's not
feverishly snatching at bar
gains, makes my head ache and
my feet burn. So I do it by tele-

SAIGON, South Wet Nam,
July II (R.-The situation in
northern Laos was reported
calm today, with no new en-

forces and those of the Wet
Minh-supported Pathet Lao.
The government news agency,
Wet Nam Press. in a dispatch
from Vientiane, the Laotian

in operations coincided with an
appeal from the International
Armistice Commission to cease
firing. The reinforced Nation

OF alert ready to parry any new
Pathet Lao thrust.
Sources close to the high
command at Vientiane suggest
that the governments energetic
reply to the use of force in the
Muong Peun region 60 miles
from the border of Communist
Northern Wet Nam had discon-
certed the attackers.
Thursdays assault by ele-

Adopting a suggestion of Presi-

State chairmen from 48 States
have been invited by Republican
National Chairman Leonard W.

campaign school, at the Shera-

To complete this campaign OF

early in October.
The national school here will
be conducted by Robert Hum

This campaign of education for

Of q series Of projects which Mr..
Hall has in mind to strengthen
the Republicans for the 1856
presidential and congressional
elections. He said the prime OBJ
jective is to broaden the precinct
organization.
"The inspiration for this prof.
ect came from President Eisen-
hover himself" Mr.. Hall said.
"It will be recalled that shortly
after the 1854 elections the Pres
ident in a meeting with several
of us from the Republican Ma
tional Committee stressed his
conviction that the party should
make a greater effort to broaden
its precinct base. He urged reg
ular precinct meetings with pub
lie announcement of the meet
ings and invitations to interested
people to attend"

that President Eisenhower Is
taking a keen interest in the
