At the Governors' Conference in Puerto Rico, the biggest piece of solid news was word that Rockefeller would make up his mind by , York knows that if he decides to go for the 1960 Republican presidential nomination he wil be coming from far out. He must understand, too, that should he make the race under that handicap he can afford few mistakes. He will need to make the maximum of every advantage. In his short life in politics, the .governor has acquired a reputation for the very kind of required. He has surrounded himself with many able , sure-footedn- ess Something to Consider '.T For a half million New Yorkers affected by 'the city's" recent partial power failure, the experience was ucomfortable, crippling, here t liilU K A ama a. wa w - mr ' life, often adventurous and funny. But what was really frightening was the utility company's statement that the power system might have, suffered a breakdown that could have lasted for months instead of 13 hours. The failure was caused by the burning out of seven feeder lines. Had another ,13 gone, a huge area of the nation's largest city would have been blighted and blacked out well into the fall. The lesson, often spoken but seldom felt, is how crucially dependent our great cities are upon electric power facilities. It should give serious pause to those who scoff at the damage which could be wrought by enemy saboteurs, as well as enemy bombs, in a time of crisis.

Most of the others did not regard it as an auspicious way to begin testing national sentiment. The error was compounded by thervery nature of the news which emerged. There was unfavorable reaction in many quarters to the idea that a decision of such magnitude should rest on a purely statistical measure of a man's chance to win. Rockefeller may or may not have intended that emphasis. But you can't control what will leak out of a background conference. The resulting stories embarrassed him and his supporters. So now,to try to get out of the trap, he has had to call a "clarifying" press conference in Albany to declare that his decision on running will depend on broader factors, particularly his gauge of his ability to render the nation effective and constructive public serv- 5.'

There is no discounting his ability, and his political agility. Looking over the field of Democratic candidates who have a chance at the nomination I can see none who seem to be his equal. If he is elected I think we will at least see an end to the lassitude that has hung over over the' national capitol for the past seven years. Nixon has never impressed me as a man who enjoys being a second rater.

Because home switching, is becoming more of a routine affair each year in many areas, realtors have opened special departments for the express purpose of helping you sell your old home, buy the new. The financial arrangements they offer vary greatly-so- me could be of tremendous help to you, others might prove too ' costly td permit you to ' indulge in such service. Excellent advice comes from John C. Tysen, president of Previews, Ins., a national real estate clearing house. Says Tysen: "Ask the owner of your next, house to sign a sales contract making the closing contingent upon the sale of your present home. Try to work something out on this basis; it is not an1 unusual procedure. Some closings can be delayed a matter of months. Some home sales can be (speeded by accepting as your selling price, not what you dreamed of realizing, but a more realistic price, that set by a realtor. - The concept is fast fading.

Here, to guide you on a switch, is advice both from realtors and home-for-a-lifetl- Have you ever Imagined yourself opening an oyster and finding a pearl in it? Perhaps someone told you it was impossible, that only special kinds of oysters produced pearls. This isn't true. Any oyster even the kind you eat may occasionally produce a pearl I The reason for this is that the material that makes a pearl and the material that makes the shell of, an oyster are identical. So any mollusk with- a shell can create a pearl. Of course when we speak of a pearl we generally mean a gem that Is considerd valuable, and therefore the pearl has to have certain qualities. For example the iridescence and translucence are very important, so is the shape and depth of the pearly lustre. As a result, only pearls found in mollusks Whose shells are lined with mother-of-peaor nacre are really fine pearls. There are many pearls produced which have very little value. At one time it was believed that tiny parasites or grains of sand imbedded in the soft parts of an oyster .stimulated the formation of pearls. But we now know this isn't so. We have pointed out that the pearl and the shell are made up of identical substances. This means that they must originate from identical cells in the soft parts of the i oyster. What actually happens is this. As the grain of sand or other foreign substance is Inserted Into the oyster, it tears, off ducing cells from the soft parts of the oyster. These isolated cells either in the tiny channel that has been formed or in the natural cavities of the tissues, and proceed to produce more shell-o- nly this time it becomes what we call a pearl. There are many factors that determine the quality of the pearl that will be produced, such as the kind of oyster, in what part of the oyster the pearl is being formed, and so on. The shape of the pearl too is determined by' the area in the oyster where it is being formed. In pearl fishing way, it Is estimated that one shell in a thousand contains a pearl, so your chances of finding one in an oyster are very small indeed.
