ative party, as in England. Liberals and
radicals from the two parties could
unite to form a labor OF liberal party -
as in England, it was argued.
The rash Of demonstrations and vel
fare programs might help force such an
alignment. 1t is too early to say it will
succeed and definitely bring about that
realignment. But the Goldwater candid
acy and long smoldering conservative
sentiment are bringing the day closer
and closer, as is the Kennedy Admin
stration's domestic program What we
are seeing might indeed be the begin
ming of the long-discussed realignment
of conservatives and liberals within the

A Tax Cut

Former President Eisenhower has
made an important workable contribu-
tion to the discussion concerning a pos
sible cut in federal taxes.
He is not opposed to tax reduction.
But he adds condition-that it be ac-
companied with firm pledge to hold
federal spending to ceiling. Specifical-
ly, he urges an executive assurance" H.
that, until budgetary surplus has been
achieved, future annual expenditures
will not be permitted to rise above the
already Inflated level for this fiscal
yearsof approximately $98 billion"

If you're house hunting, how
can you tell whether a house or
house plan will serve your
needs? Katie Thomas, Kent coun-
ty extension agent, home eco
nomics, says there are six
features which especially affect
the Inability of a house. She
suggests careful study Of room
placement, circulation, storage
facilities, ease of = furniture
placement, ease Of maintenance
and capacity for electrical
power.
Placement of rooms in a house
is one of the most difficult
features to change If it proves
unsatisfactory, SO it's good
idea to think through your family
needs and way of living. Mrs.
Thomas recommends that the
kitchen and back door be located
near the garage or carport. Re-
member the many trips you make
from the car to the kitchen with
groceries and other supplies.
The kitchen should be within
easy reach Of both front and
back doors and should be near
the children's indoor and out
door play areas.
The living room should be
shielded from the front door :
to save wear and tear on the
carpet and to allow for privacy.

other places, and usually they are attri-
buted to carelessness.

and heads Of households, to make pre-
cautionary survey Of possibly danger

proposes should satisfy even the most
liberal spender, and many authorities
recommend much lower sum. But
whatever figure might finally be arriv-

suggests would 60 a long way toward
eliminating the well-grounded fear that

The girls played quietly in
their corner near grandmother
with their rag dolls and acorn
dishes. No wonder there was no
need Of tranquilizers in those
days. One glance out of grand
fathers eagle eye was calming

About the only special social
event of the whole year in which
grandmother participated, was
the meeting Of the Ladies' Aid.
She had them at her home when
it was her turn and she went to
their homes once a month. Now
they can't even leave that organi-
zation with good, plain, self
explanatory name. The Ladies
Aid was just that. The Ladies
gave their aid to affairs of the
church when and wherever need

Women's Society of Christian
Service. Even our Home Dem
onstration Club of today has fin

omics Extension Club or some
such thing. I'm not for 1t. like
to keep things simple in this

Along about this time in Nov-
ember when I was little girl,
my grand other would be
getting out her quilting frames.
She would have grandfather set
them up in the parlor. The lit
tie parlor stove "a tiny iron one
which 1 have kept) would be
brought out and set up and stove
pipe attached. BY this time,
grandfather would have his corn
husked and his fields "laid by"
so he would not mind giving a
hand around the house.
Quilting parties were all-day
affairs, with neighbors coming
in to help. The beautiful patch
work quilt was stretched on the
frames, and the women gossip
ed and ioked as they piled needle
and thread. This was cold, snowy
winter time and the men stayed
too and sat around the kitchen,
taking turns feeding the glowing
old kitchen range with firewood.
They exchanged stories Of hunt
ing trips and Dragged about their
coon dogs. I'm sure they remem-
bered every rabbit they had ever
"scared up" and just how it and
the dogs behaved.
A hearty meal was served at
noon, and before sundown the
guests departed SO the men could
get their chores done and the
animals bedded down for the
night.
AT one Of these quilting
parties when I was nine years
old, / became THE STAR. I had
pieced a quilt myself with over
200 nine-square blocks in 1t.
They quilted my quilt, and Il

smile was almost too big for

its long pigtails.

cream at the school picnic. Some
of the fathers went to town with
horse and wagon to get the ice.
School closed in May in those
days because most of the boys
and some Of the girls had to
help in the fields.
OF course mother always low
cred the butter and milk down
the we'll. Although we had a
pump then to get the water, there
was a trap door over the well,
and that was our refrigerator.
It was several degrees coole,
down there. The food was low
cred on ropes which were an
chored to a nail by the trap
door.
In grandmother's young days
the water had to be drawn up by
bucket. One day the we'll was
left uncovered while grandfather
was working In the meadow and
minding the two-year-old twins
at the same time. He saw one
twin running toward him, crying
and pointing toward the house.
He took off running and when he
reached the we'll, all he could
see were two sets of little
fingers above the edge. He used
to say he lived a lifetime in
those few steps, until he could
grab the little arms and drag
twin John to safety.
like to think of that bride
and groom who were my mater
nal grandparents. She was eight
cen and he, twenty when they
married, and I doubt II they had
$1,000 in cash between them. He
built his home of four rooms,
two up and two down. Seven
sturdy, healthy children grew up
in that house under the guidance
OF my tiny, fun loving grand
mother and the jolly, but stern,
discipline Of my grandfather.
They were even proud of those
strict rules in later years. My
uncles used to boast about how
grandfather would order them
to the bench in the chimney cor
ner after supper. II they sat
quietly they might listen to the
grownups until bedtime. Any gig
Cling, scuffling, or unseemly
noise would bring down an order
to go to bed Immediately.

HOW DID THE OIL
INDUSTRY START?

now KNOW almost nothing.
HOW DID THE OIL
INDUSTRY START?
John D. Rockefeller person
ally told me that there was a
break-through in Pennsylvania
where the crust of the earth
was thick, and a puddle of oil
was seen on the surface. Later
other "bre reakthroughs" occurred
in California, Texas, and other
states. This is the way the great
oil industry started.
WHAT ABOUT THE BOTTOM
OF THE OCEAN?
It is only common sense to
believe there are many "break-
throughs" on the crust of the
floor Of the ocean through which
comes the oil on which the
whales have been living. Now,
however, they have been driven
north to the Arctic or south to
the Antarctic, where 1t is too
cold for them to be found and
killed. The bottom Of the ocean
is today as brilliant a hunting
ground as we're the prairies of
the Central West before the wire
fences we're built or the cattle
branded or dehorned.
The first man of my acquaint-
ance who had the fore sight to
study the bottom Of the ocean
was Mr.. E. W. Scripps, who
personally told me Of its great
undiscovered wealth and who left
a sum Of money to endow such
a study. Let me add that think
he was great-grandfather of
the wife Of william Loeb (com-
monty known as "Nackey"). TT
fortunately, no United Nat: :.
existed in that day and D..
Scripps was obliged to depend
upon his newspaper syndicate to
promote interest in the project.
Milford chronicle., 1963-11-15

When I was boy, 1t seemed
as If the ocean was full of whales.
They apparently lived at the bot
tom of the sea where they would
not be harpooned by whalers
going out from New Bedford,
Mass, and other seaports which
made specially Of getting
whales. Gradually, the number
of whales was depleted. Finally,
an international agreement"
was arranged whereby the ma
tions were given quotas; but
these have never been honored.
Therefore, I have definite
proposition, namely, that the
whaling industry be taken over by
the United Nations, which would
see that only the male whales
are killed and that the female
whales are allowed to reproduce.
This would seem a legitimate
work for the United Nations, and
one which would bring the UN
a definite income, lean imagine
1t making a good contribution to-
ward paying up the United Ma
tons present deficit.
THE CATTLE INDUSTRY
When was a boy there was
virtually no cattle industry. My
uncle went west to Nebraska
where the cattle with great horns
were roaming freely over the
prairies. Gradually, wire fences
were erected to allow the cattle
to be branded and ultimately de-
horned. That was done with cat

convenient to all parts Of the
house, yet provide privacy.
Laundry facilities should be con-
veniently located and yet placed
where operating noise won't be
disturbing.
Rooms should be arranged SO
you don't have to go through
one room to get to another. Some
houses are so poorly planned
that you have to cross the living
room every time you go from
the kitchen to the bedroom or
other parts of the house.
Coat closets should be located
near the entrances to the house,
and there should be adequate
storage room in living, sleep
ing and working areas. Closets
should have ceiling to floor ac-
cess, or much space will be
wasted.
Mrs. Thomas suggests trying
to visualize furniture placement
in house or house plan. Would
you have to go around the bed
to get to the closet? Can the
living area furniture be arranged
conveniently in more than Just
one arrangement pattern?
Surface finishes of such areas
as walls, floors and sills should
be easy to maintain. Electrical
outlets should be adequate and
conveniently located. Be sure
you would not have to walk all
the way across a dark room
to turn on a light at night. And
be sure grounded wire has been
used for all electrical circuits.
Milford chronicle., 1963-11-15
A new Industry

tile, and we have the great cattle
Industry of today. The same type
of thing could be done with the
whaling industry; but II must
take place under water instead
Of on the open prairie.
Whales are mammals, not fish.
They are kindly and intelligent;
but have gradually been driven
away from civilized ports and
killed, irrespective of whether
they are male or female, and
even when they are pregnant.
The whaling industry could be
brought back and become almost
as great as the cattle industry;
but this can be done only If the
Industry is controlled by an or
|ganization like the United Ma
|tionS.
LET US APPEAL TO
THE UNITED NATIONS
Therefore, make an appeal to
the United Nations that 1t seri-
ously take up this problem be-
fore the whales all go to the
Arctic or Antarctic waters,
largely under the ice, for pro-
lection. Let us turn the tide be-
fore 1t is too late, and bring forth
and protect a new industry for
the world which will equal the
cattle industry in Importance,
and provide wealth, employment,
and prosperity for all who have a
part therein.
This is a very practical mat
ter and 1t could easily be ac-
complished. The waters of the
oceans are the only natural
monopoly the United Nations
have. Certainly, before spend
ing billions on "going to the
moon," we might find out what
is at the bottom of the seas,
which make UP four -fifths of the
worlds area and about which we
