From A Reader

Occasionally l get a letter from
a reader that gives me quite lift
I'd like to print bit of one from
Mrs. Kathleen Layman, of Finzel.
Il was more than pleased to
read your kind comments about
Finzel because for a number of
months now, our only publicity has
been the frequent reference to our
obsolete school. In our thinking we
feel that we are doing our best
under unfortunate circumstances
How nice to call attention to pleas
ing conditions and tactfully ignore
or at least to remain silent, about
any unpleasant conditions. | hope
my washing was on the line that
day"
Judging from the neatness of
Mrs. Layman's letter I'm sure her
wash was on the line and she prob
ably had four pins on every sheet.

American Farm Youths
Visit Israel

Three American youths from
farm communities have left from
1dlewild via Ell AL Airlines for
a two-month's study of Israel
agricultural settlements. Each has
been sent by a farm organization
in this country.
Raymond Leon of Colchester,
Connecticut, has been sent by the
Central Connecticut Cooperative
Farmers Association. Vera Good
man, who has just graduated from
high school, has been sent by the
South Jersey Jewish Poultry
Farmers Association, which repre-
sents four hundred farmers in the
area of Vineland, New Jersey.
Michael Lehman, of Pine Beach,
New Jersey, the son of poultry
farmer, has been sent by the Toms
River Community of JEWS h
Farmers.
TIE Jewish Agency for Pales-
fine hailed this tour as the "initia-
tion of an important interchange
between American farm commu-
mites and their counterpErts in
Israel" The Americans will stay
in Israeli middle class settlements
like Beth Yitzchak that approxi-
mate the American communities
from which they come and be
quartered with farm families that
have sons and daughters of the
same age as the U. S. visitors.

when. with a photographer,
she was making publicity shots
against the back door of the
14th century palace of the
Grimaldis. The next time she
saw him was in December,

than two weeks later, they an
nounced their engagement.

Margaret Truman met suave,
CRAVING Cliff Daniels in early
November when they were din
ner guests Of mutual friends,
the George Backers, in New
York. They dated around New
York regularly for a couple of
months. Daniel proposed late
in January, was accepted, re-
ceived the blessing of his pro-
spective in-laws.
On March Q he gave her a
ring. No one suspected a thing.
Then Daniel took his girl to
Zebulon to meet his parents
and rumors started. They'd
planned to make the an
nouncement on March 10, but
former President Harry s.
Truman hastily called a press
conference a day early and
read the brief, formal tradi-
tional announcement.
There are other comparisons:
Rainier, to seal his proposal
in Philadelphia, presented his
bride-to-be with a handsome
circlet of intertwined diamonds
and rubies, which, thought
fully, he had packed along
with him from Monaco. Later
he replaced on the proper
