Why Not Houseclean
Your Mind This Spring?

a corner and may be just as
unattractive.
What about those little
constituencies and prejudices
which gnaw at the edges of
your consciousness? What
about resentments which drug
you, and old prejudices which
should have been discarded
long ago? What about all of
those little fears and worries
which buzz in and out of your
awareness like flies on a sum-
mer day, thus districting you
from the vibrant way of liv-
ing?
It is essential that we take
stock Of our mental quirks
periodically, that we throw
away those thoughts which
depress us and keep only those
which add happiness to our
lives.
Once we get rid Of all those
mental habits which were
glooming up our days we may
find plenty Of room in our
minds for new interests and
activities and happier, fresher,
more spring-like thoughts.

At some time during each
spring season all women are
attacked by the urge for self
improvement. 1t all begins
with spring house cleaning,
when a man hardly recognizes
his usual habitat upon return
ing home in the afternoon and
can find nothing he looks for.
Everything may seem nor
NAL when he leaves in the
morning, but when he returns
that night the rugs may have
disappeared, the draperies may
be down, and he may glimpse
his wife through an open
closet door, in a mad whirl Of
cleaning up and recognizing.
Usually this frenzy of i'm
provement goes further and
you will find the little woman
giving her skin and hair some
special attention, and prob
ably exercising and counting
calories.
/ often think that we should
take this idea all the way and
give our minds q houseclean-
ing at least once q year. We
accumulate an awful lot of
useless stuff in our minds as
well as in our houses, and hab-
its Of thought become more
securely fixed than cobwebs in

COP. Beef Stew Slippers
Aimed at the Mems Vote

from Denmark in 1918 at the
age Of 10. He peeled potatoes
to earn his passage and had
IS cents in his pocket when
he landed. she related.
HE came to America to seek
opportunity and freedom. !" Mrs.
Knudsen said yesterday. "And
I saw in Mrs. Douglas voting
record a. way Of life that /
feared would take away more
and more Of our freedoms by
the increasing encroachment
Of government on business"
Mrs. Knudsen patterned her
"Women-for- Nixon" activities
after the old New England
town meeting.
In 1852. when she was asked
to head CALIFORNIA; Women
for Eisenhower" she developed
coffee hours as another folksy
way Of getting people together.
Slammed Doors Avoided
They provide a door-to-door
method Of seeking votes with
out the danger of having the
door slammed in your face"
she pointed out.
Resumed in the "a congress
sional campaign. the coffee
hours are well under way once
again. when we observed
Eisenhower Day on May 49,
more than $500 different coffee
meetings we're going on in
Southern California at the
same time" she reported.
Her plans for the Eisenhower
beef stew suppers won appre-
ciative chuckles when she told
of the program yesterday at
the campaign conference of

is the woman behind the
folksy "old-fashioned Eisen-
hover beef stew suppers" that
viii have a major role in the

The suppers. which will fea-

for Eisenhower.
Plans Of the citizens group
to sponsor heef-stew get-to-
gethers throughout the coun-
try as one Of its campaign ac-
tivities were announced yester-
day BY Mrs. Dorothy d. Hough-
ton, national cochairman.
Mrs. Knudsen's coffee hours
for Eisenhower" also have been
adopted by the national COM
Inittee.
While the coffee parties are
aimed primarily at women.
Mrs. Knudsen expects the Eli
senhower beef stew suppers to
have a special appeal for male
voters.

when someone asked her If

own recipe I went right home
and wired the White House for
permission to use it." she said.
Mrs. Knudsen has specialized
in the folksy campaign tech
