LOVE AND LAUGHTER
The Hard Woy
Can Be Fun
BY MARJORIE HOLMES

Living in a country cabin brings out the coy
instincts in human beings.
There is something about the very lack of space
within, the limitations, that sparks in a woman-yes
and in old native zeal for making do with
what you have.
A summer cottage cabin is the perfect place for
utilizing all those odds and ends Of furniture reposng
under porch attic. Refrbished with paint and
pillows, old chairs revive become again inviting.
Chests be worked snugly into where their
ample drawers compensate for closet lacks. Shelves in
the proper inches enlarge your little domain here
your spices, there your cannisters hooks behind
door accommodate your array OF pans.
You continually fixing and figuring-conniving
such solutions. And plot and plan think Of
how your ancestral mothers must have similarly out
witted the problems Of keeping tidy efficient their
lonely little homes in the wilderness.
Men, Too
Men share this curious and wonderful drive as they
fashion steps native rocks shave saplng to
form balcony rail There is something exciting about
taking the tools and the elements hand and by your
skill and ingenuity hewing out something meanngful
and often beautiful.
True we lug along with us all possible attachments
and fixtures that simplify living The toaster the
ron the electric frying We wire the yard lights
and install BATH We wrest from rocky hillside
and flowers Though this can be overdone. To keep
improving and expanding until you have first the
comforts then the xures enjoy in town, is often
to wind up with the selfsame responsibilities.
No. to truly challenge and free the spirit the country
cabin should retain of its drawbacks It's need
for cots the porch and sleeping bags when company
comes Its shortage Of forks and Its demand for
we-stocked woodpile for nights when the air snaps
cold Its countless little tests of both physical strength
and disposition to keep it going. let alone gay
There is something about the look Of logs and the
smell Of pine and water that makes want to do things
the hard way, If only to prove that we can!

NEW YORK, June Z CAP)-
The stock market was mixed
late this afternoon as many
investors adopted a wait-and-

Volume for the day was es-
timated at 90 million shares
compared with 4,190,0O0 yes

Changes of most key stocks
were fractional, some going to

Market analysts welcomed
the calmer mood as a sign that
the market may be settling
down to the point where norm

the industrial section of the

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. ia bill
to raise the minimum teacher
pay scale In Maryland has been
drafted for introduction in the
General Assembly.
Backers of the measure,
which has provided king
sized controversy for the last
three years, still are undecided
on how to finance it. One pos
sibility Is to raise the beer tax,
a move which likely would
annoy the administration.
The bill for a minimum State
teacher pay scale Of $4,000 to
$4,000 has been drafted by the
Maryland State Teachers Asso-
citation. The current scale is
$500 to $500, although all
counties but one pay more than
that through local supplements.
Among the sponsors Of the
pay bill are expected to be
members Of the Mahoney-for-
Governor ticket, which has
come out strongly for increas-
ing teacher pay. Three mem
bers Of the Legislature, includ-
ing Delegates Blair Lee III Of
Montgomery and Carlton R.
Sickles of Prince Georges. are
on the ticket.
Gov. Tawes bypassed the
teachers salary request in his
budget. In fact, he has &C
cused the teachers association
Of being a high pressure"
lobby.
Mr.. Mahoney has charged
Gov. Tawes has ignored the
teachers despite a campaign
pledge to seek the $4,000 to
$4,000 minimum salary scale.
The Governor, on the other
hand. maintains he has done
we'll for the teachers by provid-
ing more funds for the local
tiles, leaving it to the local
governing bodies to determine
whether the money should go
for teacher pay or for facilities.
The teacher salary bill would
cost about ST million next year.
The Legislature cannot in
crease the budget submitted
last week by Gov. TaWes unless
it provides a means of raising
the additional money.
Last year, the Legislature
beat down a determined at
tempt to raise the beer tax. The
bill was. dubbed the Hooker
rocker" because of the close
association of the Governor
with George H. Hooker, a rep
resentative Of the Maryland
beer industry.

The District Armory Board

The board, however, attached

A reaportionment bill failed
in the House last year by one
vote.
Six measures were before the
Senate and House Judiciary
Committees yesterday at the
public hearing which attracted
more than 100 persons, most
of them from the suburban
counties around Washington
and Baltimore.
A Prince Georges PTA group
appeared with Identification

ers" underneath a picture of

ence to an Eastern Shore dele

his farm. A spokesman for the
PTA group said they would be
glad to plant tomatoes this
year if anyone needed them.
Royce Hanson. president of
the Maryland Committee for
Fair Representation, told the
lawmakers that representative
government is the basis of the
democratic system. Mr.. Han
son, who lives in Montgomery
County, said the system which
gives the rural counties an
overwhelming control Of the
Legislature is resulting in a
loss of confidence by the people
in their State Government.
Phillip Thorson, president OF
the Montgomery unit of the
Committee for Fair Represen-
tation, told the lawmakers that
they are members of the fourth
worst Legislature in the coun-
try so far as representation is
concerned. He said only Flor
ida, Nevada and Delaware are
more malapportioned.
OF the six reapportionment
measures, one introduced by
Delegate James Clark, jr., Dem.
ocrat of Howard County, ap.
peared to have the most sup.
port. This would leave thu

each. He also would requir,
that delegates be elected from
districts within each county 81
that all of them would not com
from one area Of the county.
Delegate Alger Y. Barbee

however, that trying to draw
the district lines within tn.
counties might create as big 6

itself.
