Mixed-Up Political Race
Has Kentucky Guessing

gresham for the last 10 years.
This district went Republican
for Congress in 1852 by 95, 900 to
80, 900.
In the 9th district, in the
mountains of Eastern Kentucky,
the Republicans are tradition
ALLY strong and have been ever
since the days of Abraham Lin
coin. In 1852 it went Republican
for Congressman by $4,000 to
IS. 900, and in 1854 by $4,000 to
so, 900.
Jefferson County, the records
disclose, has been right in the
last IL presidential elections,
starting in 1908, with the cleo
ton Of Taft, Republican, over
Bryan, Democratic candidate.
The Republicans and Democrats
both are working hard to carry
it this time.
Eisenhower Popular
| Here, as in a considerable
number of other States, Presi-
dent Eisenhower remains a
popular figure, although he has
lost some of the supporters he
had four years ago. AS pointed
tout, he has picked up new voters
to Offset these losses in some
measure.
A great deal will depend on
how many Democrats. friendly
to Gov. Chandler, either cross
over and vote for the Republi-
can candidates, or sit on their
hands, through the State.
Adlai Stevenson and Senator
Estes Kefauver, on the other
hand, are not popular personally
in the Bluegrass State. When
Mr.. Eisenhower came to Lexing-
ton recently he was greeted by
the biggest political gathering
ever held in that section-some
$4,000 turned out to hear him
speak.
When Mr.. Stevenson was in
Lexington, ne had a crowd less
by a third than Mr.. Eisen-
Ihower's, and in Louisville he had
about $500 in hall which seats
1000. Further, the reception
accorded Vice President Nixon in
Kentucky was much warmer
than that Senator Kefauver re-
lceived.
The State is prosperous in the
Iextreme. Some of the farmers
are disgruntled, but on the whole
they are doing well. Tobacco
prices have been Stabilized-and
that is the cash crop in Ken
lucky on which the farmers rely.
The question of school inte-
grafton does not appear to have
Ientered the campaign in a ma
terial way, despite the troubles
in SturgiS, Henderson and Clay.
The Negro vote in Louisville and
several other parts of the State
| is considerable.

MORE WIDOWS

On the national average, women
live 6 years longer than their
husbands and are about years
younger, making a 9-year difference
in the life expectancies of average
couples. Thus 1870 of women are
widows while only 496 of men are
widowers. Add this to the fact that
men leave their estates, large and
small, to their widows and you see
why so much of the nations wealth
is in the hands of women The

Be 1t EUer So Humble!

Home is where the heart is or
wherever you hang up your coonskin
cap and both of these centered in
some pretty rude shacks in the first
years of Ohio's civilization.
First homes put up by white men
in the Ohio backwoods and lowest in
degree in frontier architecture were
the "open face camps" These were
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1956-04-26

built by hunters, squatters or others
who expected to leave or be run out
of the woods by Indians at any time
and were simple affairs.
| Without window, door, chimney or
floor the huts had three sides built
of poles and were rooted by poles
and sheets of bark. The whole front
was left open and was curtained by
deer skins or blankets fastened to-
gether. A hole was cut in the roof to
let the smoke out and fire was
built in the middle of the open side
at night to keep the wild animals
away.
/ Even the Indians lived in better
homes than these. They had villages
of a dozen to 20 families on the bank
of some stream and lived in little
pole shacks with doors and windows
and bark and bough roofs standing
irregularly along both sides of
narrow, crooked street. The tepee or
wigwam with which white people
long have associated them was
conical tent made of skins covering
poles leaned together at the top and
was used only when traveling-on
the warpath or the hunt. 1t was
easily taken down, the covering
packed on ponies and the poles drag
ged along by them with ends on the
ground.
Next after the open face camps
came the pioneer log cabins built of
round logs with the bark left on.
These cabins usually were nine by II
feet, one story and had one room.
They had a door and windows of
home -hewed clapboards and roof of
the same material. The chimney was
made of sticks and clay and was
outside the cabin connecting with a
wide baked clay fireplace inside that
end of it. The cracks between the
logs were chinked with mud and the
windows had panes of paper creased
with bears fat to let the light
through.
Many of these cabins had dirt
floors but most of them were floored
with puncheons-long, straight split
poles laid with the rounded side in
the dirt and the fiat side up to form
somewhat uneven floor. These had
an innovation-the potato hole. Dug
exactly in the middle of the cabin
the potato hole was about four feet
square and equally deep and was
covered by puncheons like the floor.
In it vegetables and even fresh meat
could be kept for long periods with
out spelling. lie too was a good place
to hide the children when Indian
raids threatened This until the In
dians discovered its existence after
which is was the first place they
hunted up when raiding a cabin.
In the 1790s hewed-log houses be-
gan to appear here and there in
Ohio. These were built of logs hewed
square and often were of two stories.
Some were Shotgun houses" with
one room on either side of a long
hall open at either end but all under
one roof. The roof was of clapboards
and the chimney still made of sticks
and mud on the outside of the house.
The left or upper story was reached
by climbing a portable ladder and
crawling through trap door in the
ceiling. There yet were no stairs in
the backwoods.
Whenever available buckeye logs
were used in building frontier cabins.
The soft, spongy wood offered little
resistance to the easily dulled or
broken pioneer axe blades and was
almost impenetrable by Indian rifle
balls.
Most backwoods cabins were built
by "raisings." The settler selected
and cut the logs into right lengths,

Leadership and personality are still inn
portant to the executive, but organlza-
tons such as Chicago'S Social Research,
Inc, have shown that other less obvious
factors are just as significant. Social
Research uses pictorial tests for execu-
tive talent as well as queStion-and-
answer tests like the one you have just
taken. But all the tests are designed to
bring into the open certain traits:
Broadness of interests, open-minded-
ness, emotional maturity, aggreSSiVeneSS
tempered by geniality. integrity. deci-
siveneSS and eagerneSs to learn.
These are the things, businessmen feel,
that make a good, modern executive.
Here is what your answers Indicate:
1, Your answer should be "No." The
type of man or woman who gets to be
top executive is constantly driving him.
self toward bigger and better things.
There is always another goal ahead.
2. If you hope to be boss, your answer
should be NO" Most times, the good
executive takes enough time to think
problem out and talk it over with his
top subordinateS. However, he always
comes up with an answer, right or wrong.
;. mo" is a poor answer. Fear Of fail
ing is drive" that pushes you ahead.
1t keeps you on your toes.
4. A firm mo" is the best answer here.
A good executive is so busy with his own
job that he doesn't have time to figure
out how he can get someone elSe'S.
S. 1t is a good sign if you answered
YES" If you enjoy any hobby that
involves creating and achieving, you
have one Of the characteristics that 60
to make up good executive.
6. The best answer is YES" The good
executive is generally SO active mentally
that he finds it hard to relax and push
aside any problems concerning the job.
This, plus his fear Of failure" keep him
thinking about his work.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-20
Yes, You'd Be A
Good Boss H.,

7. Here, the best answer is No"
Most successful executives don't allow
personalities to get the upper hand in
their dealings with subordinateS' objec-
tiveS, and the job at hand comes first.
8. Again, it is the job, not the name on
the glass door or the increased pay that
intrigueS the good executive.
8. If you are executive material YOU
answered NO" A good executive
doesn't like to be saddIed with strict
routineS or schedules.
10. Unfortunately, the best answer here
is mo" A good executive is so wrapped
up in his work that he can't turn off his
drive to succeed.
II. A good boss, being practical man
with both feet firmly planted on the
ground, generally answers NO to this.
II. Because a good executive is factual,
he likes articles more than fiction. When
he does read fiction it is apt to be the
whodunit type, which offers problem
for solution.
Is. You will make better executive if
you truthfully answered mo" to this
one. Big business and industry today
are looking for general all-around men
and women, not narrow specialists, to
fill key posts. They want bosses with
broad abilities and broad backgrounds.
~. A mo" is the best answer here. A
good executive can take orders as well
as give them. He realizes that his supe-
riorS know more about most problems
than he does and he looks to them for
guidance.
IS. If you are the executive type, you
answered NO" The good executive
can't be obSesSed with details; details
are for his SubordinateS.
So = are you executive material?
There are no hard-and-faSt rules, but
your answers will be tip-of on your
capacities as boss. The End
