o Putting In New Gcs Stove Proves Big Task In London LONDON on How many men does it take to install one gas stove? The London Daily Express, cam paigning for more efficiency in Britain, asked that question Tues day and then went on to tell of one case where it took 23 men to put a stove in a store. According to V. B. Wilkinson, who runs a London hardware store, this is what happened when he asked the local government-run Gas Board for a new stove. An inspector called, looked at the old stove and agreed to the request. Two men arrived to de liver the new cooker. Two days later; two men arrived to fit it. Later, another two men called and took the old stove away.

Another man also called to take away the old meter. It was then decided that the pipes needed blowing out. Three men drove up in a truck and set to work with a compressor unit. After a morning's work they de cided the stoppage was not within the building, but must be under the sidewalk or road. Fourteen men so far. At .this point an inspector ar rived with a colleague.

U1 Zoo curator Alan Best said Tuesday he had erred in estimating the hatching time of a king penguin egg at Vancouver's Stanley Park. "I estimated the date of hatch ing would be Oct. 5 but now I learn with authority that we can expect the happy event on Sept. 97 " Roct cnit Meanwhile, Matilda who's do ing the hatching is still balancing the big egg on her toes near her breast, waiting for Canada s first king penguin birth. Beneath Matilda is a thick rub ber pad placed there by zoo offi cials as a precautionary measure in case the penguin drops the egg.

Then, Wilkinson reports, the other day a man dropped in. He announced he would be there the following Thursday to paint the pipes. "What pipes?" "The new gas pipes, of course," was the reply. And he was No. 23. Said The Express editorial: "Can anyone beat that for a record of over-employment?" There was no comment from the Gas Board.

S- Ptt Oft-. i U ,MAMA SHOULD'VE KNOWN SETTER THAN TO SEND ME 1 TENDME Baldock Blames Selfish Politics For Bill Failure SALEM HI State Highway En gineer R. H. Baldock blamed "politics" Tuesday for the failure of Congress to pass highway legis lation and said the federal law makers could take a lesson from the Oregon Legislature. ' The state Leeislature in 1951 and 1953 increased the gas tax, doubled the plate fees on passen ger cars, increased the weight mile tax on trucks and authorized the issuance of $72 million in hoods," Baldock told members of the Salem Kiwanis Club at a luncheon meeting. Durine the eieht-vear nerind from 1947 to and includine 1955. Baldock said Oregon will have ex pended $251 million for roads. "This amount of money will en able Oregon to clean uo the back log of critical deficiencies and to take care of the current deprecia tion," Baldock said. He said that more mnnev. either federal or state, will be needed to Keep pace witlt the state s growing highway construction and main tenance needs. Referring to the failure of Con gress to pass a road bill during the last session, Baldock said, "Un fortunately, this was the first time a road bill has entered into parti san politics. After all. the nroblem is one of economics rather than one of politics." He quoted from the August issue of Engineering News-Record which said editorially, "Kepublicans and Democrats share the blame equal ly. Both played selfish politics and both bowed to lobbyist pressure." FUNNY BUSINESS ' My daughter added her fiance's photo to our collection cf trophies!"

Wholesale Food Prices Drop To Low Level NEW YORK un Wholesale food prices as measured by the Dun & Bradstreet index declined this week to the lowest level in more than 2 Vt years. The index stood at $6.15, down from $6.21 a week ago and $6.65 a year ago. This week's figure was the lowest since Feb. 3, 1953, when It was $6.13. The index represents the total cost at wholesale of one pound each of 31 foods in general use. No particular food accounted for the drop. It was simply that many more went down than up. Lower were flour, wheat, rye, hams, bel lies, sugar, cottonseed oil, tea, eggs, potatoes, rice, raisins, cur rants, prunes, steers,- hogs and lambs. Up were corn, oats, butter, coffee and cocoa.
