MIXED UP y. Well, after two
weeks Of being MIXED up as to days
and dates, we are moving back on
an even keel again.
What with Christmas and New
Years Day following right on the
heels of Sundays-and with the
unscheduled meals and hours and
between-time snacks and out-of-
school children all over the place,
it was a time Of confusion at our
place.
So much so that my little nine
year-older, John Decatur, called
from a neighbours house one day
last week about noon to ask: "Ma-
ma, have l had lunch YETI"
FIRST TO Co? =. We had read
so much here and there recently
about Commerce Secretary Luther
Hodges planning to resign, that we
called one of our acquaintance
who stays pretty well in-the-know
in Washington to find out what
gives, as they say.
He reports that talk in the Ma
tons capital is that Hodges will
resign and will be replaced by one
Edward Gudeman, a former Sears,
Roebuck merchandising man who
took office about the same time
Hodges did last year in the
Dept. of Commerce.
When? Nobody seems to know.
FROM BOTH SIDES Here
is one of the reasons N. c. Republic
cans are viewing the future with
more confidence than ever:
We were talking to this school
teacher friend of ours visiting in
Raleigh during the holidays about
some Democratic thinking that /. B
Lake is the one man who could
win over Charles Jonas in the event
he G. o. P. runs Jonas for Gov
ernor three years hence.
Knowing of his liberal leanings,
we asked him how he would vote
in such an event. His reply was: u
would unhesitatingly vote for the
Republican candidate"
And there you go. The liberal
wing of the Democratic Party
filings the charge of Republican,"
at the conservative elements. Never
the less, it is an accepted fact that
thousands of them would vote Re
publican if the Democrats happen
/ ed to nominate the wrong" man
in the Primary. What kettle is to
black the pot-or vice versa?
It is no wonder that the Republi-
cans view the future with conh-
dence.

Hundreds of downtowns live un-

poles. The net effect on downtown's
appearance is decidedly mega

Alexander reports that some COM

amounts of money in wire-burying
programs.

This son of prominent politician

The Congressman scratched his
head. "Well, I'll tell YOU, he said,
"there aren't any jobs on my list
right now, but here's what I'll do.
I'll get up a committee to make a
study as to why there are no jobs,
and you can be the head of that

NEW CLUB If plans now
under way work out, Raleigh next
spring will have new private

run more than one-fifth of
your total home investment.
But before buying, consider
the yard. Is 1t big enough for
your needs? What kind of a

can advise you on the kind

Today's home buyer will
find q wide variety Of new
houses from which to make
his selection.
He may choose a split-level
house, possibly one with four
levels. He may prefer a one
story ranch-style house with
generous overhang and
much glass. Or he may de-
eide on a Colonial or other
traditional style.
But whatever his selection,
he will find that 1925 new
homes are more comfortable,
convenient and better built
than ever in history. He
will be delighted with the
high Inability they offer.
Helping Hints
The purchase of a home is
usually the most important
investment a family makes.
No two families are alike but
here is q general guide for
the house buyer:
!. Cost:
A handy rule of thumb to
tell you how much house you
can afford, is employed by
many families. 1t is that you
can afford a home costing
roughly two and one-half to
three times your annual in
come.
However, other factors to
consider are the steadiness of
your job, the amount of your
savings, the number Of your
children and your do-it-your-
self ability.
But generally speaking, a
family with an income of 500
a week should not buy a
house costing more than
$4,000, while those with an
