A salary plus an expense
account for the Presidential
wife-if she does a construc-
tive job in public life-was
proposed by columnist Doris
Fleeson yesterday on the
theory that, fully as much
as her husband, she is called
upon for extraordinary ex-
penditures in the line of
duty"
At the same time, Miss
Fleeson nominated Presiden-
tial wives for leadership in
the family sector of our
society"
She further proposed a Bill
of Rights" for the public
wife" whom she described
as decidedly underprivileged
in the political arena"
Article I might state sue
cinctly, she said. that the
public wife has the right to
be herself" and Article II
would give her the right to
talk back"-a privilege she
is now denied though "She
is discussed by the public ad
infnitum and often ad nau-
seam"
Harsh Penalties
Article III would provide
harsh penalties against the
"snoopers and spies" into her
private life.
Miss Fleeson made her Sug-
gestions at a ladies luncheon
held at the Sheraton Park
Hotel in connection with the
48th annual meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States.
She made it clear that the
salary she proposed for
Presidential wives should be
something you can take to
the bank"
She suspects, she said, that
the public wife has to take a

President.

Noting that Pat Nixon

she also pointed out that
Mrs. Nixon does "the little

Six More Weeks OF
Winter Scheduled

The grounding, which was
scheduled to make his annual
observation this past Tuesday,
and an old legend which says
that if he sees his shadow
there will be six more weeks
of winter, will have an opport-
unity to prove its worth.
1t looked as though old
"G.H." might have a chance
to get out and get some air
and call an end to the winter
early Tuesday morning. 1t was
cold and snow was falling.
The woodchuck was making
his way up and out of his hole
and doing very well. He had
nothing to fear and no cause
for alarm.
Then, without nary warn
ing, the sun burst out all
around, and, as he shook his
head to clear away the shock,
he spied his shadow. That was
all it took. It scared him
almost to death and he dove
back into his burrow where
he will remain until spring.
We will now have six more
weeks of Winter!!!
