The average man spends near
" half his waking hours on his
Job. His wife, If a homemaker,
spends more than half her wax
ing hours on the job-although
perhaps not quite so continuously
But both of them are going to
devote a large part Of their lives
to work. What will happen to
them If they don't like to work?
Frequently, a man or woman
lis inefficient and unhappy be-
cause work was not learned in
childhood as a normal part Of
life. Few children nowadays are
victims of exploited child labor. I"
Many of them are allowed to
grow up as, in effect, loafers and
parasites. Parents suggestions
of sharing the operations Of the
home are met with a whine Of
Jaw, gee, do I have to work."
Employers will tell you that they
have to deal with the same
attitude.
The solution is to let your
children start, as early as posi-
BILE, to regard work not as drudg
cry or slavery but as a personal
and constructive contribution to
their own welfare and that Of
Others, in which they take pride
and Joy.

Silver Core
Coffee Pot Bosket
Query
Mrs. B. S., Washington

MIS-. b. -, washington
I have noted with interest
letters relating to silverware
and its care. The best care is
to prevent tarnish in the first
place and the easiest way to
to do this is to use the silver
daily. For those who have only
two or three in the family and
an 8 or IL place setting, ro-
tote the pieces of silver used
by some such method as tax
ing from the top and replac-
ing pieces after use on the
bottom of the stack. Incl
dentally. detergents in the
dishwater seem to have an
edge over soap in the preven-
ton of tarnish. ! disagree
with the electrolytlc process
because while it removes tar
nish, it does not polish the
silver. For those interested,

1853 contains a good article on
methods and pollshes, their
various merits and dement's.

have polished it once as a set,

Someone asked about clean
ing a coffee pot basket. The
discoloration and residue are
due to oils in the coffee bean.
Use detergents in the dish
washer, allow the basket to
soak a few minutes while do
ing other dishes. give it light
going over with vegetable
brush and at end of week it
will be clean. If pot is nom
electric, put in some detergent,
fill to top with water. put In
basket and other parts, allow
to barely simmer for half
hour, then wash out. Done
from time to time, this does
reasonably good job Of clean
ing out pot and parts.

Legislation to Kill
Poll Tex Drafted
BY . star star Correspondent

RICHMOND. Jan. 23--Repub-
lican State Senator Ted Dalton
today introduced legislation to
repeal the Virginia poll tax and
lower the voting age from 81 to
10 years.
Both moves would be accom-
Iplished by amending the State
constitution.
Senator Dalton gave the, leg
islation little chance of favorable
consideration. He is the man who
|polled IS per cent Of the vote
against Democratic Gov. Stanley
three years ago.
Poll tax repeal has scarcely
been mentioned at the current
session at which public school
segregation matters are predomi-
|nant.
Negroes registered and paid
their poll taxes in large numbers
to vote in a recent referendum
on the Gray Commission plan for
10 constitutional convention.
Gov. Stanley. meanwhile, for
mally issued a writ calling q
special election for February 81,
This will be held to elect dele
gates to a constitutional con-
vention on March S.
The Governors action means
that candidates for the con-
vention have until midnight
Saturday to file with the clerks
OF their local circuit or corpora
ton courts.
The Tenth District, next to
Washington. is entitled to three
delegates. So far only Frank
u. Ball. ST.. a former State SEN
ator from Arlington, and Albert
v. Bryan, jr.. son Of the Fed
eral court judge in Alexandria,
have announced as candidates.

Capt. C. M. Lindsey, investiga-
tons and records officer.
Officials said the use Of radar
caused the II per cent increase
in speeding arrests.
Radar was used throughout
1855. but only six months in
1854.
Fewer Drivers Caught
1t. Walton noted that fewer
truck drivers are being caught
by radar now than when the
equipment first went into OPP
Grafton.
TITS like when we first started
operating weighing stations" he
said. I'VE had to have four men
at the Woodbridge scales hand
ing out tickets for overweight
trucks. Now it's fallen way of,
It's the same way with radar.
He said it was possible that
truckers may have worked Out

State. The total of traffic ar
rests for all types Of vehicles was
IA, 225.
1t. Walton said the percentage
Iof commercial driver arrests was
greater In proportion to the traf-
lfic now than that Of passenger
car drivers. Commercial vehicles
accounted for 81 per cent Of
traffic on Virginia highways last
year, but the 36.773 violations
charged accounted for ~ per
cent Of the total arrests.
Comparable statistics for 1854
showed 30.779 arrests of COM
mercial drivers Of q total Of
105.416 violations. Commercial
vehicles accounted for 81 per
cent Of the traffic In 1854 while
the arrests were 20 per cent.
Reasons for Increase
It.. Walton attributed the
nearly $4,000 increase in total
arrests last year to increased
traffic now, q full police force
for the first time in recent years
and to use Of radar in catching
speeders.
State police records showed
almost $4,000 more persons were
