THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

heavy handbag who is worry
ing our friend Jones now
~ 1t is the lady with the long
umbrella!
Just as their skirts are run
up and down their legs by
fashion, year after year. so
the length of their umbrellas
changes.
First they were long, then
short, then shorter, and now
they are long again.
Nor is this all.
The newer long ones have
very sharp tips at the holding
end, as well as the floor end.
so that wherever a man turns,
he is met with e sharp point
poked at his eye.
Il
A favorite way of carrying
this long umbrella is to
hold it clutched upright to
the bosom.
This means that the upper
tip is ready to be swerved
into a seated passengers eye.
The seated passenger, of
course, in any modern public
transport. is the william of the
show.
No lady of around so years
can forget the days when
men got up to give them their
seats.
There were gentlemen, in
those days.
A woman would probably
drop dead" in a bus today If
any gentleman" got up and
offered her his seat,
Il 4 =
Between the brass bound
pocketbooks and the long
pointed umbrellas men are
beSet fore and aft.
Temp Jones has often won-
dered why courteous. gentle
and conSiderate ladies so
often swing their handbags
and umbrellas regardless, as
the saying has it.
Everybody seems to have
problems nowadays, and no
doubt the women have more
than anybody else. but Temp
Jones, for one, wishes they
would keep firm hold of the
handbags and umbrellas in
the Christmas rush.
Suppose Jones is coming
home with a big jar OF cram
berry jelly, and some lady
pokes her umbrella through
it,

Emergency Help

The coincidence was just
too much. I was glancing
through Letters to The Star,
just after thanking the
GaitherSburg Washington
Grove rescue squad for COM
ing to my assistance. One
Of the letters dealt with the
recovery operations of the
volunteer rescue squads fol-
lowing the recent drowning
at Great Falls, and the fact
that they had received no
recognition of their efforts.
My small daughter had just
had a convulsion. It was her
first experience and mine
and I hope our last. I imme-
diately called the Gathers
burg Washington Grove res
cue squad. Luckily, she came
out Of it within a few min
utes and by the time I tried
to cancel the call, they were
here.
This was not my first ex-
perience with volunteer res
cue service. We formerly
lived in the town of Glen
Echo, and twice (both new
arrivals) the Glen Echo
rescue squad responded to
our calls Immediately. The
first was an elevator" baby
and the second (the above
mentioned daughter) was a
"dry run" for the squad as
she had already made her
arrival. But the important
thing was, they were there.
I hope my experiences with
volunteer rescue services have
helped bring to light the
excellent response and CO.
operation they offer in time
Of need. They have my
warmest thanks, and I have
complete peace of mind
knowing they are at my beck
and call if and when I should
need them again.

On TV I was treated to
commercials discussing bras
and girdleS and then false
teeth. The poor taste of
dwelling on insanity, crime
and Westerns is enough to
result in permanent discon-
nection of the set. If one goes
to the movies, We have the
drivel designed for msipid
teen-agers, more crime, more
Westerns, love stories of kids
not dry behind the ears. The
country is going beserk.

Dear Sir:
There has been great ac-
tivity in the garden, setting
out bulbs for early spring
blooming. bringing in the
house plants and raking and
burning fallen leaves.
Billy and Bobby Bushy-
tail, the squirrel brothers,
are busy burying their winter
food supply in the backyard.
IF the acorn crop is no
better this year than it was
last. there will be a food
shortage during the cold
months. But our furry friends
have reaped a good harvest
from our walnut tree, and
they know they can always
come to the kitchen door for
handout. They are so tame
they eat right out of my hand
and always mind their man.
ners- they never scratch or
bite.
When I was a child every
grocery store kept a buShel
basket of red cranberries
beside the counter during the
fall and winter, and when
ever I visited the store I
loaded my coat pockets and
carried them home for the
squirrels.
IS #&
Nowadays most every one
buys their cranberry sauce
and jelly readymade In con-
venient cans and Jars, and
the squirrels seem to get
along just as well without
this delicacy in their diet.
However. they are quite fond
of holly berries.
And speaking of holly
berries-the sudden touch of
fall has brought q touch Of
color to them and soon they
will be vivid red, reminding
us that the season to deck
the halls will soon be upon
us and it won't be very long
before we will hear the
manv commercial voices urg-
ing us to do our shopping
and mailing early.

get busy before the rush to
avoid all those ladies with

their pG;tS rave teAl 'Soft'
In their eeSlinss with the
Communists.
Also, he was seeking to
show Senator Kennedy of
Massachusetts as having
newly discovered 8 friendship
for the farmer Of the Mid
west. 1t was, indeed, the
Midwest delegation at the
1856 Democratic National
Convention. led by Missouri,
that turned the tide against
Senator Kennedy In his drive
for the vice presidetial nomi-
nation and brought about
the victory Of Senator Ke-
fauver of Tennessee.
Will Make q Fight
Mr.. Humphrey is a fighter.
In an effort to convince the
leaders of his party he really
has voter appeal and polit-
ical strength, he will enter
many of the presidential
preference primaries next
year. Indeed, he must make
a good showing in some of
them and win others if he is
to have a real chance. There
seems no slightest doubt the
MinneSotan will have strong
labor support. He and his
supporters are counting on
this to win for him in the
Wisconsin primary if Senator
Kennedy enters against him.
Also. Senator Humphrey will
appeal to the farm vote in
that State as against the
EaSterner. He hopes to cash
in in the Oregon primary,
too, for both reasons.
He still remembers the
tremendous ovation he re-
ceived when he addressed the
national convention of the
JAW in Atlantic City not too
long ago. He believes he has
the rank and file of that
union and of others, even
though Walter Reuther, the
JAW president, has been
speaking kindly Of Mr.. Ken
nedy recently and defending
him against attacks of other
labor leaders.
Mr. Humphrey, himself,
has been encouraged by the
well-attended meetings he
has held, many of them
bringing overfiowing crowds
in States of the West, among
them Iowa, Nebraska, Idaho,
Montana and on the. Pacific
Coast.
The candidates he has to
fear most are Senator Ken
nedy, Senator Symington of
Missouri and a candidate who
is not a candidate, Adlai
Stevenson. 1t is to the liberal
Democrats of the North that
Senator Humphrey must look
for a presidential nomination
if he is to have one. Mr..
Symington is emerging in
these days as a liberal, whose
voting record on labor, civil
rights and farm and other
issues before the Senate has
been as liberal as that of
Senator Humphrey, Senator
Kennedy or any of the lot.
1t is possible that the Min
nesotan was hitting, too, at
the Missouri Senator when he
spoke of new images-for
Senator Symington has been
in the past regarded as rather
on the conservative side,
Many Of the liberal Demo-
Gratis, If they fail to get Mr..
Kennedy for the nomination,
are inclined to go back to
their old love, Mr.. Stevenson.
These are the particular
problems which confront the
hard campaigning Senator
Humphrey, and he is not over
looking them. He has still
to convince many observers
and politicians that his cam
paign is really getting of the
ground.

Senator Hubert Humphrey
Of MinnesotG. aeCiveIr cam
paigninR 70: tlIe 1850 Demo-
cratic preSIdentisl ncmlna-
ton. has complained thar too
much attention Is paid tn the
"image" Of potPntisl eandi-
dates for the presidency and
not enough "a the issues in
volved and where these po-
tential candidates stand on
them.
Yet the importance of
images" Of candidates in the
public mind is evidenced by
the fact that Senator Hum
phrey is trying to impress
voters everywhere with a
favorable image of himself.
He is seeking particularly to
convey to them an image Of
himself as a friend of the
farmer. an ardent supporter
of organized labor, a devoted
advocate of civil rights as
they apply to Negroes and to
other minorities in the popu-
lation. In doing so, Senator
Humphrey is conducting, and
has been engaged for months,
in a most active across coun-
try campaign. He intends to
keep this campaign goirg
without relenting. He wishes
to see as many Of the people
as he can and to have them
see him.
For the Senator, who has
been little known outside his
own State and some of the
Midwest territory, this is
greatly important. Too many
people up to date in many
places have shown too much
indifference to Senator Hum
phrey and his candidacy.
This must be said for the
Minnesotan, however. In his
speeches wherever he has
gone he has discussed the is
sues of the day. both foreign
and domestic. He has stuck
, to them, rather than to per-
sonalitieS. And from his point
Of view-that of an ardent
New Dealer and Fair Dealer
his discussions and argu-
ments have been highly in
tellIgent and persuasive. He
has attacked the Eisenhower
administration harshly, but
his attacks have been 'di-
rected along the lines of the
issues which will be fought
out in the approaching cam
paign.
The Humphrey complaint
also has gone to the at
tempts, as he sees them, Of
various candidateS-Repub-
licarl and Democratic-to
change their images In the
public mind, to assume a new
image in the minds of farm
erS, labor and other groups
Of the population; to take on
a new" image, as contrasted
to an old image in peoples
minds.
Barb at Cranberry Eaters
In this connection, al
though he did not use their
names. he seems to have
been hitting particularly at
Senator John F. Kennedy
and Vice President Richard
M. Nixon, the first a leading
candidate for the Democrat
ic nomination and the sec
ond the front-running Re-
publican candidate. For he
called attention to their pub
