Does the idea of carpeting the kitchen
or bathroom startle you? 1t certainly
surprised me! My neighbor was so
pleased with her recently installed
Candalon Foam Cushion carpeting on
her staircase, because of its seemingly
safer footing than the bulkier type,
that she had the entire house carpeted
with it = even the kitchen and bath
room!
It's one of the first carpets I've seen
or heard about that can be used tear
lessly in these two rooms. Not only is
it delightfully."- attractive, but there's
no problem with spots = nylon is such
cinch to keep clean, and, the springy
cushion has taken all the fatigue out
of the mileage put in daily with kitch-
en- duties.
Enthusiastic reasons for the whole
house-carpeting project was that its
long wearing and fine sound-absorbing
qualities made it ideal for the televi.
sion and rumpus room, not to mention
juniors room where the carpet acts as
shock absorber against the clatter of
active games. Also, because it has no
lint and is non.allergic, it seemed es-
pecially good for the nursery where
the baby could creep in safety, soft
ness and warmth.
The carpet with its own built-in
foam cushion backing, contains not
only nylon's magical long wearing and
easy cleaning qualities, but also elm
mates the need for separate under.
padding!
My neighbor says it's the biggest
boon to the housewife since the inven-
ton of the gasoline buggy and |
believe it. This low-cost way to provide
soft" flooring safety, comfort and
beauty, is certainly welcome news, and
real luxury at nominal cost!

in fact, most Americans can

it will be due to firms like

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: While l was settin down
drinking ma beer and eatin ma
feesh in one Of my favorite spots
along the Ole Avenue one of the
Oltyme Parish Streeters preached
me and started a conversation
about this younger generation of
Aine Haggar's Chillun, and de
things they're. With me and him
showing signs of being at the
stage where nobody would hardly
think of us as being young any
more we could set back and look
and listen to the subjects and what
We was talkin bout. Over at an
other table some of the female kind
of the younger set of de tribe was
settin down eatin and talkin loud
enough for us to hear them, and
seeing that we were hearing they
didn't lower their voices any but
kept on ginin their boy friends the
Ole scratch, and such language and
cussing you amt never heard, and
from what everybody is saying
now it amt never heard ceptn
'mongst q crowd of Aine Haggar's
younger tribe and as we walk
out we ruined into a couple of
others walkin down the sidewalk
talkin bout de same thing, same
cussin, same language, same eber-
thing What gifts me down is
that in observing their antics and
listening to what they say / gifts
the feeling that they think such
antics and such talks makes them
look "hot", which is adding some
to the tradegy to our young folks
and making it all the more
harder for us to reach the goal Of
first class citizenship, what is
what all of us leaders claims to
be aiming at no matter how inept |
and clumsy some of 'em pears to
be aiming at it ;.

Harold Stassen. presiden-
tiai adviser on disarmament.
has designs on the political
scalp Of Secretary Of State
Dulles. He and o small but
determined group Of follow
ers expect TO be more sue
cessful than they we're
against Vice President Nixon
In 1866.
A failure Of the NATO
parley in Paris may give the
Stassen group q good chance.
The consensus Of most Wash
ington observers is that such
a fiasco will be q curtain
raiser for a meeting at the
summit with Khrushchev
and Bulganin.
The warning notes issued
by Moscow are being laughed
of officially as mere propa-
ganda. However. there is q
growing suspicion in Wash
ington that II President
Eisenhower and his Secre-
tary of State do not succeed
in their task Of establishing
a genuine understanding and
cooperation between the
NATO allies. the cry for talks
with the Russians will pick
up volume in Western Eu-
rope and America,
Mr.. Dulles has successfully
warded of all earlier at
tempts to dislodge him. But
his intimates say that he will
never be a party TO another
summit meeting with the
Russians land the Chinese
Communistsl. He would
rather retire than partici-
pate In such fraudulent
peace and harmony talks.
Mr.. Dulles is reported TO
have pointed out before his
departure TO Paris that the
Soviet bosses have demon
strated beyond all doubt that
they cannot be sincere. He
recalled the consequences Of
the Geneva meeting in 1855.
Hardly were the handshakes,
pats on the back and friend
ship toasts over when the
Russians engineered the
Middle East crisis. Even in
the midst Of the cordial talks
Khrushchey lied blatantly
when he shrugged of the
Secretary's query about the
reported Russian pledge to
supply Egypt with vast
quantities Of modern war
equipment.
In subsequent years the
Russian bosses have demon
strated that they have not
changed their spots. Deceit
and lies are as much their
weapons in international in
tercourse as are their man
power and guided missiles.
