Advancing
Visitors To Historic
Mansion "Old Mil
ford Days" Will See
Many Changes In
House Since 1862.

Those who visit the Parson
Thorne Mansion on Old Milford
Days will see house greatly
changed in appearance from last
year.
The restoration work Of this
past summer has given the rear
wing the same outward appear
ance that 1t had when built In
173O-1735. The front Of the main
house and wings has also been
given much of its original ap-
pearance, dating back to 1850.
Much research and study have
been done to make sure that all
restora alton work is authentic.
Since there are no original
drawings, no letters or written
records Of any kind, It has been
necessary to proceed very care
fully because all that IS to be
learned about the colonial ap-
pearance of the house must be
obtained from the house itself.
The Victorian front porch was
removed and under 1t we're found
the scratch marks on the brick
wall made by the colonial car
penter when he built the original
pediment over the door frame.
A pediment Of colonial design
to fit these original marks was
designed and built. Under the
porch floor we're found In the
house wall the original rece sses
Of the beams which held the
original stoop. Likewise, the
original recesses cut into the

And So Goes Life

LONDON R - William Yates, 58, itched and scratched for two nights because of powder his wife put in his bed.
 When the itch powder did not drive her husband out, Mrs. Isabel Yates emptied his bedroom of furniture and put sand, bricks, cement and an old fender in the room.
 She tried to attack him with a broken bottle, dragged the washing he had laundered into the mud, threw his dinner in the garden, emptied his hot water bottle in the bed, shouted insults at him in the local railroad station and accused him of having an affair with an- other woman.
 They married in 1948 and parted l3 years later.
 Mrs. Yates didn't do all the at tacking, Judge Charles Rees said in Divorce Court Tuesday. Yates was extremely jealous and accused his wife of having affairs with tradesmen who called at the house.
 The wife claimed that he also threw their television set out on the lawn, loosened the stair carpet to make her fall and beat her with a part of the vacuum cleaner.
 The judge granted divorce de- crees to both husband and wife on grounds of cruelty.

Malaspina's Vibration
 Problem Can Be Solved Without Major Expense

SEATTLE R - The designer of Alaska's SOS million ferry fleet expressed confidence here Mon day that vibration problems of the NV Malaspina can be solved with out major expense.
 Excessive vibration apparently stems sporadically at certain critical speeds from the charged ex- haust stacks of the ferry's power ful engines.
 Officials said they will try to correct the shiver at Ketchikan by encouragement and strengthen ing of supports for the exhaust piping.
 Philip Spaulding, who designed the ship for Alaska, described the vibration as a defect that could have been corrected in Seattle if the normal time had been allowed for sea trials.
 The Malaspina's twin 4,OOO- horsepower engines make her the most powerful motor ship in the American erchant Marine, Spaulding said.
 The COho, first ship of this gen. eral design, had twin 2,OOO horse power engines. Later vessels built for the British Columbia ferry system carry twin 5000 horse power engines.
 Spaulding said:
 Every new ship that comes out has problems like this. You can- not design an exhaust system to be perfect. There's no way you can tell for sure until the ship is run"
 The Malaspina's sisters, the Matanuska and Taku, now are nearing completion at the Puget Sound Bridge & Dry Dock Go. Spaulding said any changes that are necessary for the Malaspina probably can be built into the Matanuska and Taku without trouble.

US. Negotiates For Military Bases In Spain

MADRID, Spain lR - A high Spanish official predicted Tues day smooth sailing in renegotiat- ing the terms of a treaty granting the United States four military bases in Spain.
 The official said there was con- siderable misunderstanding arising from Spain's notice last week that it wants to revise the terms of the treaty due to expire in September. This was the first official comment since the notice reached Washing ton.
 'You may be sure Spain is not going to ask anything impossible, nor do we believe there will be any great difficulty in completing the negotiations the official said.

 Following World War I, she mar ried Emil E. Hurja. After his death, she married Richard Drum Hunt, who survives.

EC Claims
 Project Chariot Won't Harm Plant And Animal Life

WASHINGTON lR - The Eski- mos of Northwestern Alaska can rest assured that if a proposed underground nuclear detonation is ever touched off there, it won't harm them or the plants and ani- mals they live on.
 This was the conclusion of a committee of Atomic Energy Com- mission and other scientists in a report released by the AEC Friday
 The committee had been set up by the AEC primarily to explore whether Project Chariot" a tentatively-proposed experiment to set off a nuclear blast in the Ogotoruk Creek area would be hazardous to local inhabitants.
 Chariot, if ever carried out, would be part of the AEC's "PloW- share program to investigate and develop peaceful uses for nuclear explosives-such as digging har- bOrS and canals.
 The AEC in releasing the report stressed that no decision has been made whether to go ahead with the project. It said:
 ''No nuclear detonations have been scheduled since some data, expected originally from the Chariot project, have been - or may be - developed from other nuclear excavation experiments.
 Furthermore, new data will continue to be examined for their possible influence on the place the Chariot experiment may have in the overall PloWshare program. The Commission, therefore, decided in August 1862 to defer recom- mending that the President author ize conduct of the experiment"
 Concerning the report itself, the AEC said:
 'As result of careful review and consultation with other sci entists, the committee concludes that, if the experiment were to be carried out, any damage to plant and animal life would be limited to the area closely surrounding the excavation.
 The committee noted that there would be some local changes as might result from any large ex- cavation project, but the Eskimo, and the species of plants and ani- mals from which he derives his livelihood, would not be threat ened."
 The committees studies, the AEC said, have by-product value of great potential significance to sci ence in that the Ogotoruk Creek area has now become "one of the most thoroughly studied areas of the world," on scientific aspects ranging from archaeology to zoo- ology.

Cupid COmsPuter
Couples Correctly

DR.. Eric Kiss, head of the
Scientific Introduction Serv-
ice, a New York marriage
agency which uses an elec-
tronic cupid, claims: "Of the
500 marriages we have ar
ranged this way since 1856
we have had just one divorce.
The divorce rate for the or
dinary marriage in America
is one in four. However, we
don't guarantee anything.'
The electronic match-mak-
ing works this way: A male
client is given a battery Of
tests, the information from
which is coded and fed into
a computer. Within the COM
puter is information stored
on the demands and interests
of 5000 women clients. The
machine eventually sorts out
the women who have the most
in common with the prospec-
tive groom.
