Fathers Day!
Remember Father has a
day, Sunday June, Is. What
fathers do for this world is
amazing. Just look at the
shape the world is in today,
atom bombs, unrest, wars,
and the like. 1t took fathers
TO get it all tangled up. But
we couldn't get along without
fathers = that's for sure.
From the time their first
child is born, fathers take on
a responsibility that they keep
for life. hey walk the baby,
entertain the child, direct the
youth, and advise the adult.
All Through this period a
good father exhibits love,
patience, and understanding.
They provide, the food,
clothing, shelter, the luxuries
when possible, as well as nee
essities for their love ones.
They do without, to give
laughter that new party dress.
TO pay dental bills, music les
sons, college educations, new
aarS and to finance sons ven
ture into romance. Most all
of you have done these things,
without complaint.
So, father you deserve d
of your own, q day where
your welfare is uppermost III
hearts of your FAMILY. Ny

OF the House

With the death of Speaker

gia, became dean of the House.
Mr.. VinSon has served in the
House. At years. His service
began November 3, 1914. after
he was elected in a special cleo
ton to fill an unexpired term.
Mr. Rayburn's term began
March 4, 1918.
The ranking member of Con-
gresS in seniority is Senator
Carl Hayden, Democrat of
Arizona, who has represented
Arizona ever since it became a
State. Senator Hayden was
elected to the House on Febru-
airy l9, 1912. After serving IS
years in the House, he was
elected to the Senate and began
his service there March 4. 1927.
Senator Hayden becomes
second, behind the Vice Pres

If Congress had been in ses-
sion it would have elected a
new Speaker, who would be
second in line. But since Con-

without Parallel
The career of Sam Rayburn
is without parallel in the legis-
lative history of the United
States" Senator Russell said.
1T will undoubtedly be some
time before the American
people fully realize the vital
part he has played in the oper-
alton of their Government for
so many years.
He was a gentleman of the
old school who expressed
through his life and work his
sincere belief that character
and integrity are essentials of
pubic service.
House Republican Leader
Halleck, in a statement issued
by his Washington office: Sam
Rayburn was one of the great
and good men of our time. He
was a patriot of outstanding
accomplishment. In these criti-
cal times his passing is a great
loss to the Congress and the
country"
Mr.. Halleck, often at odds
with the Speakers position on
matters before Congress, added,
ours was a close personal re-
lationship that far transcribed
party considerations"
Senate Minority Leader Dirk
sen praised Mr.. Rayburn as
"a man of consummate cour-
age" and "one of the great
statesmen of our generation. &"
Senator Dirksen added:
"As a Speaker he was impec-
cably fair and his respect for
the rights of the minority party
was a household word. In addi-
ton to this, he gained the
affection of everyone who
served with him and he will
be long remembered for his en-
during contribution to the we'll
being of the country"
Byrd Distressed
Senator Harry F. Byrd,
Democrat of Virginia. said
I'm greatly distressed at the
passing of Speaker Rayburn.
He had a notable career and
served his country in a very
patriotic fashion"
Senator BeaIl, Republican of

has lost a great leader. I
came to respect and admire
him. even when we were on
opposite sides of a question. He
was a forceful and powerful
leader for his party and al

BOOM SPLITS
Crane Hits Nelson's Ship
BOOM SPLITS

PORTSMOUTH, England,

British crane driver has accom-

Accidentally, crane m a n
Frank Cox yesterday split in
two the 60-foot-long flying jib
boom of Lord Nelson's historic
flagship Victory.
What happened was this:
The Victory, which spear
headed Nelson's triumph over
the French and Spanish in the
Battle of Trafalgar in 1905. is
in dry dock here to undergo a
badly needed overhaul. For
years she has been a museum
piece. the symbol of the glory
of the Royal Navy, seen and
visited by thousands of people.
But Frank Cox did not see
her.
He was concentrating on a
load of lumber he was trans
ferring at the navy yard here.
Safety first is the big thing
on my job" explained the
craneman, land 1 was concen-
trating on the load"
The lumber was dangling at
the end of the portable crane
as Mr.. Cox carefully guided it
alongside the dockside, not far
from the Victory. AS the diesel
apparatus rumbled past the old
ship, Mr.. Cox failed to see the
top of the crane catch in the
ancient rigging.

Down The Drain

During an average lifetime,
most people in the United States
use about $4,000 gallons of
water, according to recent statis-
tics. And interestingly enough,
more water is used in the higher
income communities than in the
lower.
All this water must be trans
ported through pipes and then
drained off. So it's no wonder
that drains frequently become
clogged. Plumbers will gladly tell
you that the use of coffee grounds
to clean the drains is nothing but
an old wives tale.
However, special product
called Drano is made especially
to dissolve the grease in drains
and not harm the pipes. Not all
products take care of all situa-
lions, and therefore special prod
ucts are made for each job. A
powder called Vanish, for in
stance, cleans the toilet bowl by
its chemical action without HARM
ing the porcelain. Its fixing ac-
ton does all the work and also
disinfects and deodorizes.
To keep plumbing systems
working properly and to cut
down on plumbers bills, devote a
few minutes each week to clean
ing with the proper products.
