To starboard of the tiny, flag-decked vessel,
you can set biscuits and spreads in colorful,
sturdy meamine dinnerware. Melamine is par
ticularly appropriate since it was originally
developed for U. S. naval use on the high seas
during wartime
Portside you might stack a group of flower
decorated bon-voyage gifts. They could include
a basket filled with fresh fruit and studded with
boxes of sailed nuts and candy. With two yards
of blue satin ribbon, 3" wide, make three lux
urious sized bows and festoon the fruit basket
and spread jars.
The ships bow points to the cleaning silver
coffee pot melamine creamer and sugar bowl
and to the easy-to-care-for attractive melamine
cups and saucers.

Gold in Your Attic
By VAN ALLEN BRADLEY
Valuable 'Phony' TroveIog

At the 1858 sale of Western
Americana from DR.. Lester
E. Bauer's collection, one Of
the better prices was realized
on a phony book-a book
that is worth more than the
one from which it was
copied!
The item is a travel mar
rative, supposedly by one
"Mr. Maclauries," and de-
scribes the first ocean-to-
ocean crossing of the North
American continent. The title
page reads, in part:
A NARRATIVE, or Journal
of Voyages and Travels
Through h the North West
Continent of America by
Mr.. Maclauries London:
.. 1902.
Actually. the crossing was
made by Alexander Macken-
zie, and was described in his
earlier work, Voyages from
Montreal" published in Lon
don in 1901. The editor of
Mackenzie's notes, William
Combe, is suspected of hav-
ing produced the phony
"Maclauries" version.
"Mr. Maclauries" brought
$425 at the Bauer auction.
Mackenzie's book is worth
probably half that at retail.

All, BUT THERE is an

inside play becomes unman-

note from Mrs. B. Of Bur-

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Re-
garding the letter in your
column recently from the 32-
year = old mother Of three
children who wanted to tell
them that she has q head
ache and feels nervous when
they are noisy in the house,
let me tell you my plan which
I used when our four were
growing up.
The rules were that If they
wanted to rough-houSe and
be noisy, they had all out
doors in Gods sunshine and
fresh air to do it in. That
we had 20 respect and take
care Of our house and be-
longings; that it took a lot
of money and work to keep
things nice; and that they
must join in and help.
Inside, they were content
to look at pictures, color and
read, or play sit-down games
in the house. Try it, mothers.

FAMOUS FABLES

TARGET: During World
War I, Sheraton Hotels

vice, he recalls in The
World of Mr.. Sheraton"
while we were in Italy,
word reached us from Wash
ington that Navy pilots must
henceforth be able to fly at
night. No one in our small
group of Navy pilots was
trained to fly at night.
Swallowing our pride, we
turned to the United States
Army, which sent us from
nearby Foggia an Army ma
jor originally from New
York. He was Fiorello La
Guardia, later Mayor of New
York. Fiorello had been up
three times at night and was
now rated an expert. ! was
to be his first pupil.
I'VE took off in the dark.
Nothing was visible beyond
the glow Of our engines.
Over the roar Of the motors,
I heard Fiorello's voice
shouting that things were
different this time, on his
previous night flights, there
had always been q full moon.
Eventually La Guardia,
pointing in a generally
downward direction, drew at
tention to a speck Of light,
evidently a distant farm
house. We were delighted
until we realized it came no
nearer. Fiorello again
shouted:
That's no farmhouse,
it's Q star. We must be up

But something held me

that people who are sensitive
to extremes in weather are
often insensitive to many of
the finer things in life. Some
how, I have found that the

are the ones who say: "Au-

FAMILY COUNCIL
Dad Insists

Fix House
BY MRS. ALMA DENNY
THE PROBLEM

1hE FhObLEM
Florence J.-He threatens
to sell our home because the
children don't help with the
maintenance.
Edgar J.-They enjoy the
place and they'll own it some
day. Why should I do all the
repairs?
THE DETAILS
Florence i've have five
children, all married, and
five grandchildren. We live
in a beautiful home that
we've been "fussing over"
improving, cherishing for the
past 20 years. The children
love it and spend lots of time
on the premises.
But now an issue has come
up which may lead Ed to sell
it. He expects the sons and
daughters and in-laws to
pitch in when there's man
ual labor to be done around
the place. I can't get myself
to speak up about it, but he
does. He says it's really their
house for they'll own it some
day.
His attitude makes the Wis
its tense and unpleasant. Is
he right?
Edgar il work hard,
harder than my sons and
sons-in-law I think. Besides,
I'm 81. Yet on week ends
they expect to have a nice
rest at my house while I give
up my precious two days and
putter around with repairs,
painting and gardening.
Is that fair? I say no, and
I say it loud, even though
my wife and the kids don't
like it. I'm good to them.
They know I believe in help
ing them out when they need
something. They should feel
the same about me. And I
need their help with the
house.
After all, after we're gone
the place will be theirs. But
If they won't help keep 1t
up, I'll just get rid Of it.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
There are better ways for
Edgar to enlist his children's
cooperation than by invok-
ing the hereafter! AS many
a clergyman can tell him,
that's q hard selling point.
What about the here and
now?
Be honest, Ed. Is it really
a little puttering you ask for.
or help with a new wing, or
a swimming pool? The latter
must be optional.
Demanding and insisting
won't help here. Neither will
efforts to shame" the kids
into pitching in. And. as

FEED GRAIN PROGRAM
PROGRESS REPORTED
BY HYDE ASC OFFICE

AS of May /, corn producers on
227 farms in Hyde County had filed
forms indicating their intention to
participate in the 1861 feed grain
program, Gratz Creole, Chairman,
County Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation Committee, an
nounced today.
In an effort to increase farm in
come and to stop the buildup of
feed grain supplies, the program
provides special payments to corn
and grain sorghum producers who
agree to divert a portion of the
acreage formerly planted to these
two crops to an approved conser-
walton use. While the program is
voluntary, corn and grain sorghum
producers will not be eligible for
prize support on any of their 1861
feed grain crops unless they cooper
ate in the feed grain program.
The Chairman reported that 4158
acres of corn on the participating"

version to conservation uses. The
farms have 1959-60 base acreages
totaling 1888 acres for corn. The
minimum and maximum diversions
for a particular farm are calcula-
ted from its 1890 base average.
Negotiable certificates issued as
payments for diversion from corn
and grain sorghum production have
total value of 81,239. These GER
tificates are redeemable either in
feed grain or in the cash equiva-
lent. Up to half the total payment
to be earned on a farm under the
feed grain program may be made
in advance if the farmer requests
it.
Corn farmers in the county who
are interested in the program but
who have not yet filled an "inten-
tion-to-participate" form are urged
to get in touch with the county
ASC office at Swan Quarter with
out delay.
