NEW YORK (UPD - Too
many homeowners fail to plan
ahead when they arrange for
wiring in new houses or re.
wiring Of old ones, according to
the American Standards Asso-
citation.
The association, which sets
standards for the manufacture
and use of all manner of equip.
ment, ranging from ladders to
lawn mowers, recommends that
space be left in the electrical
plant of a home to allow for ad.
ditional circuits of lights, wall
outlets and heavy appliances
that might be desirable in the
future.
The idea is to handle the
needs not only of today but of
the future as well.
Good indications that a home
needs re-wiring are the absence
of lights on stairways and en-.
frances, the use of octopus out
let's" and the need to grope in
the dark to find light switches.
Another sign of need comes
when a homeowner finds he is
installing a 80 ampere fuse
where only a Is ampere fuse
should be used. He does this
because the Is ampere fuses are
blowing out under the load put
on them, and he takes a danger
Gus step when he up-grades
them.
A rule of thumb offered by
the association for determining
the number of outlets that
should be included in any room
is to divide the total area by

made in Spain. Colors included
camel and bronze. There were
leather buttons, hook vent,
three button and welt edge
seams. There were corduroys
in glen plaid in jackets, and a
three-piece suit with a revers-
IDLE matching and solid
color.
Clinton Swan Clothes, Inc,
New York, showed the most
British-looking coat of all; The
Hunt Club. The jacket was of
wool and nylon in a bronze col

shotgun would hit the Shout

inverted pleat all the way up to
the yoke.
Cricketeer Inc, New York,
took the most direct approach.
1t presented three categories--
the volume news" the trend"
and the image" which is more
to be talked about than liked,
but which might be a best-sell.

Letters to the Sentinel

There are constant court bat

song the children might sing

don't.
The colleges of this country
receive equal treatment and
there certainly has not been
any violation against separa-
ton of church and state. l be-
lieve that elementary and high
school education is certainly
just as, if not more, important
than colleges. We would not
want this country to have only
State Colleges and Universe
ties, neither should we want
such a totalitarian system in
any other segment of our edu-
cational system. The children
in parochial schools receive re.
ligious instructions one-half
hour a day and the rest is pub
lie education and should be
treated as such. Why should a
child be so penalized for learn.
ing about God one-half hour a
day, heaven knows it's the
least we owe to our Creator.
/ think there is entirely too
little religion in the world to.
day as it is. Is this going to be
the message of the Peace
Corps we send abroad, to teach
the people of the underdevel-
oped countries that religion is
unconstitutional, isn't that the
message we would expect
Khrushchev's ambassadors to
convey. You cannot separate
the values from the facts.
In this world today we sure
" need our great scientists,
but don't forget we also need
our Tom Dooley's. In his last
letter to Father Hesburgh of
Notre Dame University, he
wrote that it was to the rock
in the Grotto at Notre Dame
which his life was anchored.
Sometimes l wonder il our
Peace Corps volunteers are
going to find that rock to
which they can anchor their
lives when they are confront
ed with so much hardship. 1t
will be in vain to send these
volunteers unless they under
stand the true values of life
as well as the facts.
Last of all / would like to
say that cannot understand
why your paper is so biased.
Remember President Kennedy
once said that the Negroes can
take it, the Catholics can take
ii, the Jews can take it, but
the country can't take it.

are telling Khrushchev that
we do not have the means to
oppose him anywhere on the
ground, that we will not in
tervene with the big-bomb, and
that he is free even to strike
us at home with impunity. We
will wait until he has hit our
missile bases, our airfields and
our cities before we attempt to
use a crippled second strike
for revenge. If and when we
do it will get to Russia only
to find empty Russian air
fields, empty missile sites and
empty cities. PRUSSIA can
evacuate its cities within forty
eight hours, some of them
within eight
The only job of our huge
Defense Department is to pre-.
pare for our defense in war,
and we are now at war with
Russia and China. Under exist
ing doctrine how can we pos
sibly win this war? We are
not prepared, nor preparing, to
fight on the ground, and we
have declared our unwilling
ness to fight in the air. How
can Khrushchev possibly lose
under these conditions?
1t seems that the real deter
rent to a nuclear Pearl Har-
Dor" has not been our posses
sion of The Bomb, but Khrush-
chev's disbelief that we have
no intention of using it until
after the war is over.

"Bredthes there man aCith soul so dead,
who never to himself hath said:
~ could run this blankety-blank airline bet

WASHINGTON (UPD-Are you one of
those passengers firmly convinced that airline
schedules are drawn up by former Gestapo
agents who hate people?
Do you really think you could do better
job?
Recently the Air Transport Association
CATA) held symposium on flight scheduling
for group of reporters. After three hours Of
lectures on the why's and hows of scheduling
by top U. S. airline officials the newsmen were
convinced:
The airlines do pretty good job consid-
ering all the difficulties involved
If the average citizen had to plan flight
schedules for single airline over one-month
period, it would be race between bankruptcy
and insanity.
For example:
You have S. million jet sitting on the
ground at Los Angeles around pm. with no
place to go. Fine, you say we'll schedule
flight to New York. There's only one thing
wrong with that decision. 1t seems the public
avoids west-to-east nonstop flights which leave
between pm. and 10 pm. Pacific time) be-
cause they arrive too early the next morning.
Another problem is the annoying and often
unexpainable inconsistency of travel habits
that vary among cities. One airline official
said his company always can count on good
load from Dallas to New Orleans or to Atlanta
on flights leaving at am. But in the reverse
direction, any flight departing Atlanta or New
Orleans to Dallas before noon will be flying al
most empty.
Scheduling is sensitive business One air.

On another occasion, an airline wanted to

minor change would have:
Caused severe gate congestion at Pitts.

Ruined interline connections at Atlanta.
Left insufficient time for servicing an

Required doubling ground personnel and
equipment at st. Louis

small, often results in such chain reactions

HordIy Believe Eyes

| could hardly believe my
eyes when / read the letter of
Lester Kimble in Tuesdays
edition of your newspaper.
First of all / think you owe a
public apology to all the Cath
Ollie citizens of Montgomery
County. 1t was a very serious
accusation to call us a totali-
tartan religious organization.
I've been under the impression
that in a totalitarian state, the
state was their god. Isn't this
the very thing the proposed
multi-billion public school aid
program is leading too, name
ly, a totalitarian educational
system as is present in Russia
and all the other Communist
countries. It is a serious at
tempt to abolish the parochial
school system which is older
than the public school system

NucIear Pearl Harbor"

AS the last line of resist
ance to a communist take-over
of the world, American mill
tary power is under very care
full scrutiny by our allies and,
indeed many of the neutrals.
The much discussed prestige"
rating is more nearly an opin-
ion poll among those countries
as to their confidence in our
ability to prevent such a dis
aster. Many of us become sur
prised or annoyed and upset
about the fact that this rating
is declining, which means
specifically that there is a
growing lack of confidence
thruout the world in our will
ingness or ability to preserve
freedom.
Whether or not a loss of con.
fidence In America is justified,
it is really not too surprising.
The actual measurement of our
military power takes a sOphis.
ticatiOn that many Of them

is very difficult to fathOm,
and there are visible signs that
we lack resolution. Cuba and
Laos are far from reassuring
to Thailand or Brazil. The
very fact that we maintain
only a cOrpOrals guard of a
military establishment, five

Twenty.seven years later he
was to buy space for what is be-
lieved to be the first full-page

Before that, however, he'd

store itself, and used enough di-

set off a century of retail bally-

At least one stunt backfired.

he guaranteed satisfaction,

In 1876, Wanamaker gathered
under one roof--an old Phila-
delphia freight station-goods
which had previously been sold
only in small specialized shops.
He called the store the Grand
Depot, describing it as "a COM
posite store" and advertising it
as 1.-THE store of thousand sur

More than 10000 persons
gathered to wonder, and buy, on
its opening day.

ancestors and elsewhere, offer
ing large quantities and varie-
ties of imported goods for the
first time In America. He also
invited local home craftsmen to
set up concessions in the Grand
Depot.
The Grand Depot's wares
were advertised with 1O0-foot
posters. One summer Wanna
maker floated balloons over
Philadelphia and offered a free
suit of clothes to anyone who
brought one back to the store.
A mail order business began
with the department store, and
was handling 1000 orders daily
by 1883.
A New York store was opened
in 1896 with John Wanamaker's
name on it. The Grand Depot
was rechristened to match.
Branch stores have been add
ed. Four are in operation to-
day, but the New York store,
which did its share of Wana-
maker innovating, was de-
stroyed in a spectacular fire in
1856, a year.and-a-half after its
door had been closed and its
furnishings removed-including
a famous organ which had
broadcast concerts to Paris on
Wanamaker's own radio sta
ton.
At Christmas i'm 1873, the
Grand Depot was lit up by cleo
tricity, the first store to display
such illumination. Newspapers
demanded police protection for
the public so they wouldn't be
burned by the new-fangled
equipment.
In New York, Wanamaker set
up a pioneering telegraph sta
ton on the store roof, offering
telegraph services to his Gus
toners. At that station, in 1911,
young telegrapher named Da-
vid Sarnoff spent hours relay
ing messages from the sinking
liner Titanic and the vessels
which sped to its rescue, the
first such reporting of a disas-
ter at sea.

Many manufacturers were

Almost every manufacturer
showed double-breasted coats in

They are shorter than usual
