both wore red coats. they both wear
glasses and they did look much "a
like with their black hair, similar
corsages etc. (And did you see the
picture of President Kennedy
reaching over to Mrs. Olmstead and
adjusting her corsage and her
puzzled expression on her face?).
I didn't think about it until our re-
turn home. but the crowd and the
Air Force boys were very quiet
when the boys shook hands with
the dignitaries. Certainly words
cannot express how happy we are
TO have them home. especially our
wing and our squadron. but I sup
pose our silence showed our re-
verence for them and our thoughts
of Palm who is buried in Arlington
Cemetery in Washington and OF
Posa. Goforth and Phillips.
When the boys have rested we
will see them again in our midst
and / will tell you about 1t when
we do.
For months and months people in
this state have been planning OUT
standing affairs to celebrate Kan
sas becoming the Bath state of the
United States century ago. The
elimination of their. efforts took
place Saturday or Sunday. this
past weekend and all of this was
almost obliterated by the return of
the Air Force Captains.
There were ten celebrates. all
native Kansans, honored at din
ner Saturday evening and their
publicity took the lower half OF the
front page. Some of those honored
that you might know were: Vivian

Our children went down to, the
capitol yesterday afternoon with
some of the neighborhood children
and had piece of the largest cake
in the world A cake assembled foot
by foot in the rotunda of the cap
itol. 1t was in the shape of the state
of Kansas and measured 20 feet by
10 feet and six inches high.
So you see how busy things have
been with US. Leslie completely re-
decorated our bathroom with red

things have been so muddled here
/ haven't even given you an account
of that The state board notifies us
that our avid reader. ten year old

teenager is deep in braces now and
bouffant hair do.
Things seemed to be all peaceful
for the Dad-Daughter scout banquet
for Dawr.'a troop tomorrow night
and one of the mothers called and
said the restaurant that was hand
ling the affair for us had closed
its door permanently. So you see
sometimes life does seem to be
too much with us

took up part of the morning
session. Mrs. Viola Ocheltree, State
President, stated that the purpose
of the meeting was to get new ideas
and learn new ways of telling our
story of Home Demonstration work
to others.
Mr.. Paul Day of the Wilmington
Sales Executive Club. Wilmington.
Delaware told the women that the
principles of selling used in any
business could be applied to Home
Demonstration work. He outlined
the principles briefly as follows:
/. Approach making the custo-
mer Important - quick, friendly re-
lationship.
2. Finding customers Needs :
getting her to talk, to tell what she
wants or needs.
3. knowledge of Merchandise :
know what you sell--speak with
authority.
4. Closing the sale : ask for order
get a commitment.
S. Selling additional Merchandise
ask about something to go with the
purchase. something related to it.
6. Appearance personal appear
ance inside as we'll as outside -
your inner self shows through.
T. Handling the Stock treat all
merchandise with respect and care
least expensive should be treated
as carefully as most expensive.
s. Ability to get along with others
think OF the other persons view
point.

but also the children of the aged
who are thus relieved of providing
proper medical and dental care for
their parents. Hence. | forecast
that President Kennedy will sue

passed.
Eisenhower And Kennedy Medical
Plans Compared
The Eisenhower Plan was to pro-
vide Federal funds to match State
funds for medical aid. The ANA and
ADA were willing to approve this,
apparently on the assumption that
most states would be niggardly In
their appropriations The Kennedy
Plan is to have the movement pure
ly Federal affair, trying IL to the
Social Security program. Ii would
probably mean u of one percent
boost In the Social Security Tax, to
be paid as now jointly by em-
ployer and employee.
Either of these two plans should
be most beneficial to the life in
surance companies. which are in
terested in one thing, namely in
increasing the health and length of
life of the American people.
Wherever the money may come
from, every doctor and dentist,

Different Kinds OF Life Insurance
Personally. I prefer the simple

endowment or other fringes. Get
this first. After you are married
you can get life insurance to pay
the mortgage on your house, or to
put your children through college,
or to travel in the us. or aboard.
An endowment policy may be a

Hayes was sick with an unpopular

was unable to go. There were news
men there from our local press,
from Kansas City and we talked TO

planes arrival we were all waiting
inside a hanger and the CHS man
was adjusting the settings on his
camera and we asked him to do the
same for my friends.

GoLD-AND THE wAGE-HoUR LAW

Numerous factors contribute to the pres
ent balance of payments deficit, which has
resulted in a substantial decline in our gold
reserves. The deficit is the difference be-
tween the total amount of money we spend
abroad and the total amount others spend
with us.
Moreover, the problem could be made
still more severe, and still more difficult to
solve or alleviate, by certain actions which,
on their face, seem to have nothing to do
with international monetary matters.
The Chamber of Commerce of the United
States points out that the proposed increase
in the federal minimum wage could make
further inroads on the gold store at Fort
Knox. And there's nothing far-fetched in
this view. Increasing the minimum wages
land extending the federal wage-hour law
to certain local businesses, such as retailing
which have always been exempt) would
mean higher costs for many u. S. business
men. Capital would be encouraged to in
vest in lower-cost overseas areas, thus in
creasing the gold outflow.
The higher minimum wage would set
loose new infationary forces all along the
wage-price line These increasing costs
would make it more difficult for American
products to compete in foreign markets,
where the competition is already extremely
keen, largely because of our existing wage
standards. Also, the increases would make
it easier for foreign producers of many
kinds of wares to expand their American
sales. So we'd sell less abroad, others would
sell more in our home market, and the pay
ments imbalance would swell
Protection of the gold reserve has be-
come major domestic problem. 1t wouldn't
make sense for the government to aggra-
vate it through legislation which would
make it tougher for us to compete in the
worlds market places.

MAY THEIR ADVICE BE HEEDED

Current events give special interest to a
statement which has been issued by 277 of
the nations Roman Catholic bishops, includ-
ing five u. S. cardinals. AS reported by Uni
ted Press international, they view with
grave concern a decaying trend toward con-
formity and call for a revival of traditional
ideals of indv;dualism before it is too
late. They find that 1--WE have been faced
by frequent lack of truly responsible lead
ership both on the part of management and
labor" In attaining social welfare goals,
they believe "pressures are growing for
constantly greater reliance on the collectiv-
ity rather than on the individual" Further
that, "An inordinate demand for benefits,
most easily secured by the pressures of or
ganization, has led an ever-growing num-
ber of our people to relinquish their rights
and to abdicate their responsibilities
intensive sociaization can achieve mass
benefits but man and morality can be SER
iously hurt in the process"
The statement of these high-ranking
churchmen is directed to parents, business
men, labor leaders and to government
which has done so much through philoso-
ply of wefare-statism, to undermine indi-
vidualism and personal responsibility.

Stove Blamed for Fire
Killing 2ELder!Y People

A two-alarm fire that de-
stroyed a house and claimed
the lives Of two elderly persons
in Brandywine, Md. has been
traced to a faulty oil stove.
Killed in the fire were DR..
Allan De CLANCY, 72, and his
sister-in-law, Mrs. Madge Hole,
SO. Mrs. Hole was a half-sister
Of Dorothy Ann Shoemaker, an
actress who lives in New York.
DIR. De Chaney's four-room
house was enveloped in flames
when firemen arrived at the
blaze on Brandywine Heights
road. His body was found ly-
ing in the front doorway, and
Mrs. Hole was found on her
bed, fire officials said.
DR.. De CLANCY, who retired
about two years ago as a gov
ernment scientist, is believed
to have been awakened when
the stove touched off a fire
in Mrs. Holes bedroom, accord
ing to Prince Georges County
Fire Inspector Harry Webster.
Stove Found Outside
Indications were that Mr.
De CLANCY threw the flaming
stove into the front yard. where
firemen found it still burning
on their arrival. Apparently he
was overcome by smoke while
trying to rescue Mrs. Hole, and
collapsed, Inspector Webster
said.
Also lost in the fire was one
