apprenticed TO his father-in-Iaw,
II. p. Hines, in 1905. The wooden
building containing two FORCES
was erected in 1888.
It is a minor miracle that the
building has never caught fire.
Powdered run-of-the-mine coal
lies everywhere and the walls of
the building show numerous
scorch marks.
Unwary visitors to the forge
come away looking like chimney
sweeps, blackened by the sooty
patina that covers every object
there.

Numerous nails in the walls are
encircled by lighter marks where
horse shoes once hung. II haven't

Finneyfrock said with typical
verbal thrift.
Ancient scythes whose owners
never came back for them lean

He charges so cents for each.

Brush With
Lightning
Hurts Man

A lightning bolt recently near
ly took the life of Edgar Walters.
45, who works on the Joseph r..
Harris dairy farm on Falls Road,
Rockville.
Walters was finishing up milk
ing chores around 5 PM, and as
he passed an outcropping of rock
a lightning bolt flashed down. 1t
blasted the rock and flung a
splinter against Walters right
temple.
A passing motorist saw the
flash and observed walters
crumpling to the ground. The
Rockville Rescue Squad took Wal
ters to Suburban Hospital where
doctors made 10 sutures to close
the wound.
X.rays did not indicate any
fracture, a hospital spokesman
said. Walters was discharged
Tuesday morning. He lives alone
with his wife in a tenant house
on the Harris farm.

of both parties. This may be re- garded as the first evidence of the blessings of statehood.
 Members of both parties have made trips to various villages on the island, and learned little bit about the problems of the people.
 This is all to the good. Having a vote will give island residents an entity, and recognition, but it will also tend to stir up an inter- est in the same people in affairs of their state.
 Alaska becoming an integral part of these United States, as a state, clearly has changed the thinking of individuals in even the smallest hamlets and villages throughout Alaska.
 It's all for the better.

Kodiactors Score
 With Perforl lrlance

First nighters were entertained with an excellent performance of You Can't Take 1t With You" on opening night Wednesday of the Kodiactors at the Lake Louise Little Theatre.
 The groups performance of the famous Moss Hart and George $. Kaufman play, showed excellent casting. Some of the characteri; cations were naturals, notably that of F l.. McCradv as Grandpa Martin Vanderhof. and J. H. Lit tlejohn as Mir Kirby. McCrad" admirably projected himself across the footlights as the ser enc, lovable character of the orig inal production. Littlejohn was very convincing as the harried Wall Street business man-voice, posture and general bearing con- tributing heavily to the general effect.
 Ester Doggette should receive plauditS for her performance as Penny Sycamore, as should Merle Boxwell as Elsie Carmichael Donna Picard as Rheba, the maid: Bruce Wilson as Paul Sycamore; Dick Lasater as De Pima; Dean Clock as Ed Carmichael, all turned in creditable performances.
 Gil Reel as Donald brought laughs on his every appearance before the footlights, partly for his makeup and also his perform ance and delivery.
 The entire cast should he conn plimented for almost flawleSs die tion. There were few awkward pauses throughout. The part of Boris Kolenkhov was deftly han dled by Frank Palermo, who by voice and manner portrayed a convincing Russian dancing teach CT.
 The two young lovers, Alice Sycamore and Anthony Kirby, Jr.. were acted out by Lee Cunning ham and Dave Birkner. They gave sympathetic portrayals of young love, but their love-makins lacked the spontaniety of the real thing. which is to be expected. However. both acquitted themselves very well.
 Director Jules Radinshy must be complimented for an excellent job of casting and directing. Stage effects, lighting and sound, per formances of the actors, all con- tributed in making this a most enjoyable evening.

Here, There and Everywhere ---
 A New Era: The Yen to Spend
By SIG DECREE

How would you like to be in Ike'S shoes? Economy minded Ike faces a Congress made up of legis- lators who are expected to have a yen to spend. His role will not be an easy one for the next two years, or the Republicans the next four, with the Democrats in clear majority in both the Senate and the House -majorities which they are not likely o.lose.
 What happened? Democrats were swept into office in the farm belt, despite bumper crops and new factories going up-and the general picture across the nation generally good economically.
 Predictions now are for infla- tion, with government spending remaining high, or may even go higher. A housing bill is expected to be introduced in Congress i'm mediately after if convenes. Air port construction, vetoed by Pres. Eisenhower, is expected to be re vived again-for more than $437 million.
 Democratic pressure is expect ed to be put on the Federal Re serve Board to ease its tight-credit policy; and a more liberal unem- ployment-irsurance act is in the offing if unemployment continues to be a factor.
 No tax revision is likely in the next Congress.
 These are only few of the problems of lame-duck presi- dent for such will be the role of Pres. Ike for the next two years. No longer is there the threat of a third term to deter the Democrats ... He will not be looked upon for leadership among the Republicans. He cannot expect much support from the Democrats, such as he had in the last sessions of con- gress.
 It will De in the field of reces- sion problems and defense that Eisenhower will face new Demo cratic opposition. His foreign poli- cy will no doubt be assailed from the opposition. But it is in the field of labor that he will be at tackled, since 1t was by labor vote the Democrats now have the authority to act.
