One of the most nerve
racking jobs of parenthood
lies in training the offspring
to assume responsibility for
their possessions.
With some youngsters, only
the strong hand has enough
authority to teach, but most
children respond to inspira-
ton.
The parents themselves
provide the example. but the
best inspiration that can be
given a child is his room.
Even the youngest boy or
girl has a certain amount of
pride, and if his bedroom has
been tailored to his needs and
tastes, it's sure to strike a
responsive note.

Defense Spending g May Exceed
 Korean War Peak

WASHINGTON lR - The de- fense budget, as revised by the Kennedy Administration for the next fiscal year, may approach or exceed the peak spending in the Korean War.
 The estimate for the year start ing next July 1, as submitted to Congress by the Eisenhower Ad- ministration, was S42.9 billion. Speculation is that additions to this may range up to S2 billion. Such a boost would top the $43.7 billion military budget in fiscal 1853, peak spending year of the Korean War.
 At the Pentagon, Secretary of Defense Robert s. McNamara and his aides are working up new study of strategy as directed by President Kennedy. Until that is completed - by the end of this month - and turned over to the President and his budget makers, no firm estimate of the revised military budget can be made.
 However, some preliminary moves, made in response to Ken nedy's request for accelerated ac tion in defense programs, obvi- ously will cost more money which presumably would appear in the revised fiscal 1862 bill.
 First of these items is addition of 55 jet and prophet transport planes for troop and cargo air lift.
 Responding to the Presidents request, the Pentagon - like other federal departments - is trying to eliminate spending for items or organizations that have become obsolete.
 But the constantly mounting re- quirements of defense virtually assure that an increase in military spending is in prospect.
 These requirements arise out of the unrelenting arms race with the Communist powers and swift strides made in weapon technol- ogy. The demands have confront ed both Democratic and Republi- lican Administrations since World War IT.
 In the nearly 16 years since that global conflict - including three years of Korean War-the United States has spent more than half a trillion dollars on defense.

How Much Does Your Family Spend - anl F0r What?

Your Family Spend anl F0r What?
 NEW YORK R - How much does your family spend - and for what?
 The government wants to know.
 So it's going to revise the makeup of the cost of living in- dex last updated in 1850.
 A lot of things - tranquilizers, for instance - have become note worthy items in the American economy since then.
 And changing times have raised many other questions, such as whether the price of hamburger should figure in the compilation.
 The latest monthly index issued by the government was last De- cember's 127.5 - meaning that prices of items listed were 27.5 per cent over what they were in the 1947-1949 period, which is the 100 base.
 The Labor Department plans a comprehensive survey of con- sumer spending habits because it believes the reporting value of some of the hundreds of items that figure in the index may be out moded.
 The survey will start in the New York metropolitan area.
 The plans were announced by Evan Clague, Commissioner of Labor Statistics in the Depart ment of Labor. Labor Department statisticians will be sent out to question families who have in- comes from wages.
 The government announced some time ago that it would con- duct the survey in 27 cities this year and 27 next year, and in 12 metropolitan areas both years.
 The families - selected at ran dom for the survey will be asked to give details on all their living expenses in 1860.

Would Modify Election Co8e's ProYigions on
5 raigkt Party Voting


 s raight Party Voting
 JUNEAU R - A bill which would modify the state election codes provisions on straight party voting was introduced in the House at the request of Gov. Fgan.
 The proposed statute changes the straight party provisions in three ways.
 First, it would permit candi- dates whose names are marked individually, notwithstanding straight party vote in the other column, to receive the vote in tended for him.
 The second amendment deals with situations where two or more candidates are to be elected to the same office, such as in cleo ton districts which send two or more members to the State House of Representatives
 The amendment would provide that when voter marks the straight party square and also marks the name of a candidate of a different party, only this in- dividual vote would be counted. The proposed statute also pro- vides that when a voter marks more than one straight party square these marks will be dis regarded and only those marks placed beside the names of in- dividual candidates will be count ed.

U. $. Gold Measures Affect Canada |.

JUST HOW ANY LITTLE NATION can be an island unto itself economically could not better be it. lusrated than by the present careful fiscal maneu- with balance of payments and the drain on our gold reserves.
 Because we have an imbalance of $35 billion not on trade but on capital novement-We think we have troubles But consider Canada with $1 billion adverse trade balance.
 Also, while we have $40 billion net in foreign assets abroad, Canada has a net external debt of about $17 billion.
 Translate both of these to scale and it is as though we had $10 billion annual adverse trade balance and $200 billion in external debt
 But because we are concerned over the drain our gold and our adverse balance of payments, taking measures which may worsen Canadas plight.
 The Buy American" directive, if rgidly forced could result in substantial dollar losses to Canada-who, incidentally, buys 50 per cent of her imports from
 The consequence of this is that the Canadian budget revealed recently contains several proposals designated to make investment of American capital in Canada less attractive.
 In no sense is this retaliation Canadas part It is simply that two nations in the same econ omic boat, when start rocking same, Canada has to take offsetting action.
 This is an important factor for the new Adninis- tration to keep in mind when 1t tackles the problem of our balance of payments. We don't want to hurt our best customer and staunchest international friend in the process of getting own books squared away

last many generations" she
said. "They had to hold up
well, jogging hundreds Of
miles in wagons and on the
primitive roads Of that age"
Versatility in use was q
must, Miss Devote said, be-
cause 18th century house
keeping and entertaining
was marked by a variety of
housekeeping methods plus
the ever present fact that
furniture had to be portable
in homes that were far from
draft free.
"A generation ago there
were plenty of people who
appreciated antiques or fine
reproductions" Mrs. Devote
added, but in the back
ground lurked the feeling
that those pieces; beautiful
as they were, lacked the
unitarian touch"
AS a consequence, she con-
tinued, most practical moth
ers who subscribed to that
type of thinking did away
with their priceless antiques
in favor Of sturdy, monde

would take hard knocks"
Finer antiques, she asserts,
we're relegated to the best
room for show only.
Thinking Changed
Miss Devote thinks house
wives of today have changed
their thinking on antique
pieces.
"They are finding literally
hundreds of ways of getting
maximum use out of tradi-
tional designs" Miss Devote
states.

An example in the BiggS

comes a small console.
Another fairly common
item in 18th century design
is the closed chest Of draw

which was disguised through

example of where cabinet
makers of the past turned
