The house must act on the bill and President Truman must sign it, however, before the money would be forthcoming. The measure would increase federal employee wages on the average t $307.53 a year, at an annual cost to the government of about $340,000,000. ' It would grant raises to almost all federal workers except those in the lc; post office department. Postal workers previously were voted increases lafJ!: ranging from $400 to $800 in a senate bill. fe NO RUSH BUYING Merchants in all sections, of the country, from the home towns to the big towns, have noticed recently there is no II k buying rush as there was only a few months ago. Economists have come ' up with several reasons why rush buying has stopped, but the two main 3ot i flries seem to be the increased cost of items and the consumer now is ls tuying what be needs, not because he fears future shortages. '' During part of 1950 and early 1951 the American consumer went on a buying spree because of predicted shortages. Many of the items pur- - chased were on the installment plan and now the consumer is paying ilE for them. The old fear of shortages no longer worries the consumer be-,- cause he believes goods will be available. And because of higher prices many consumers are saving for that , lainy day,, to pay oft debts, and to buy things when prices are read-I- d is justed- - T TAFT PROSPECTS Sen- - Robert Taft frankly admitted on his re-- cent speaking tour through Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota ;rs"' was a prospecting trip which will have great bearing upon whether or sot he will seek the 1952 Republican nomination for president.

Farmer Says Pond Keeps Kids at Home Increases Livability Of Modern Farm Home C. H. Drew reasons that improv. ing the livability of his farm and keeping the kids at home is just as important as building up the soil's fertility. He pays close attention to both. Drew says one of the best invest-ments he ever made was the 2Vz acre pond on his e farm near Huntington, Indiana. He hired a man with a bulldozer to dig it out. The pond is 8 to 12 feet deep at the deepest point and is fed by water draining off an field. "The pond is entirely for recre- - Fringed by trees, the shore of the pond makes a beautiful picnic site. The family uses a big stump for a table for Sun-day night supjers. The area around the pond is a wildlife preserve. ation", he said. "It pays off in mak-ing a better family life. It increases the number of activities my wife and I and the youngsters can enjoy together. It encourages our children to stay at home." Every spare moment during the summer, the children are swim-ming, boating or fishing. Their friends like the pond, too. Some-times as many as 30 kids from the neighborhood come over to join in the fun. In the winter the pond is fine for skating. Drew, stocked the pond with bass and blue gills. Members of the fam-ily and their friends often pull out good catches. FIRST AID to the err ailing house p"" BY ROGER C. WHITMAN Care of New Floors And Woodwork QUESTION: We are moving into our new home soon and I would like some information on the care o: my floors and woodwork. The floors are varnished oak. The woodwork is birch, also varnished. The doors are of flush design and also varnished. It is all very 'ight and I would like to keep it that way What should I u s e when cleaning the floors and what kind of wax would you recommend? Should finger marks be removed from the woodwork with soap and water? Or what would you advise? ANSWER: A floor finish should be protected by waxing, except when there are old people or young children in the house. Paste floor wax can be used, applied in a thin, even coat and polished after a half-hou- r for drying. It can be cleaned with a dry hair broom or cloth, or a specially treated mop. It should not need frequent rewax-in- g except as required in traffic lanes and near doorways. It should be polished or well rubbed about once a week. This can be done with a polishing weight, or a light electric floor polishing machine. Badly soiled places can be cleaned with a liquid wax made for this purpose. (There are special non-sli- p floor waxes that are sold in bulks only and made especially for convalescent homes.)

They are the can-ning and frozen foods programs. In which more than 217,000 H mem-bers throughout the nation partici-pated in 1950. The programs are supervised by the cooperative ex-tension service. Putting up homegrown products to provide diets throughout the whole year is one of the objectives of these projects. An-other is to help cut food costs. As incentives for outstanding rec-ords of achievement, county can-ning winners receive medals of hon-or. State champions get an edu-cational trip to the National 4-- Club Congress in Chicago in No-vember. These awards and six na-tional college scholarships are vided by Kerr Glass company. t ' .

An unidentified American officer (back to camera) directs a North Korean soldier who has surrendered following the battle of the Bloody Ridge recently. The surrendering Communist came into United Nations lines waving a white handkerchief and making gestures as for directions in giving up to the Americans. Apparently, just before his surrender, he was one of the soldiers defending the ridge so doggedly against U.N. attack. I Why Clip Wings? WIRE SOLDER W ON CHICKEN'S STPj W WING FEATHERS J)AJS To the housewife who has a small flock of chickens and has trouble with their flying, here is an idea that might prove prac-tical. Instead of clipping a fowl's wing feathers, wrap a short piece of wire solder around the three largest feath-ers of one wing. The solder not only prevents full spread of the wing for flying, but also weighs it down so that any flight will be made in a circle. f 4 A . 1 RITA AND FRIEND . . .
