news Dy Dr. Edna RdInSeyeT upon dIl
inquiry regarding the transfer of title
to her of the old Bertha Woods resi-
dence at the corner of Spring street
and College avenue. The property had
been purchased recently at public
sale by Harvey Gratz, and last week
transferred to DR.. Ramseyer.
DR.. Ramseyer, associate professor
of home economics, explained that
details of the plan for a Home
Management House had not been
worked out, but that it would probably
be located on the former Woods lot.
At first it was thought that the old
residence might be remodeled, but
more recently the thinking has been
that it would be more economical to
build a new residence on the site
after razing the old building.
Blueprints of the model home have
not been prepared, but indications are
that it would be rather large. 1t must
have at least four bedrooms, DR..
Ramseyer said.
Theory Into Practice
Here, the home economies students.
possibly four or five at time, would
live and do their own housekeeping
putting into practice the theory they
have taken from text books. House
keeping records would be kept,
budget set up, a marketing study
made, and all the ordinary chores
that keep housewife busy would be
handled by the students.
Whether or not an adult couple
would also share the home has not
been decided. This is possible, and it
might be that even baby would be
provided by the resident family for
care by the students.
DR.. Ramseyer said, however, that
the baby in the house was not too
likely since some home economics
authorities frown upon the practice
of too much handling of a baby by
persons other than the parents.
Work May Start Next Summer
"The Home Management House
would fill a very important need in
our department, and we are looking
forward to making the project a
reality as soon as possible" DR..
Ramseyer said.
She indicated that it may be pos
sible to tear down the old building
and start work on the new home
sometime next summer although it is
not certainty.
The new home would be built by
the college professor at her own
expense. She plans ultimately to give
it to the college.

World Reaction Against Brutality

IT was formally announced few DAYS
: ago by the State Department that Ice
land had withdrawn her request that the
United States remove its troops from the
big keflavik air base.
One of the factors behind the latest de-
velopment-a victory for the United States
= is said to be the Soviet brutality in Hun
gary. If this is true Soviet policy in that
country has been costly = for the Russians
were especially eager to get T. s. troops out
of Iceland.
Iceland is one of the many bases the
United States maintains which satisfactory
lily rings the U.S.SR. A | cough most
Americans may not realize it, we have air
bases on every side of the Soviet Union and
thus have great advantage, strategicallv
in being able to operate from number of
widely scattered bases.
The Soviet Union, of course. misses no
opportunity to attack the United States for
its policy of maintaining such bases claim
ing that they are aggressive acts. and that
the bases are intended for eventual aggres-
sion against the Soviet Union. 1t is true
that this propaganda has had its effect on
some countries.
However, the United States ring of bases
is purely defensive, to enable this country
to retaliate swiftly and effectively in case
of an attack by Russia and also to dissuade
Russia from any notion of war against the
United States
Only a few months ago. Iceland had ask
cd this country to remove IFS troons and
therefore close down kefIavic as a T. S. air
base. Domestic politics were responsible for
this request. although the political align
ment in Iceland has not changed since that
time. What has changed is the prospect of
economic aid from the United States and
the attitude of Iceland toward Russia.
