Three Bills Pondered
In Billboard Baffle
Portland U.R) The .biennial
battle of the billboards was tak
ing shape in the Legislature to
day.

man of the House Roads and
Highways Committee, said three
bills were being studied for in
troduction.

City. Fathers Help
Solve Cellar Problem
Buffalo, N. Y. U.R) Frank
Bona asked the town board in
suburban West Seneca for help
because he felt like the man
who built a boat in his cellar
and couldn't get it out.
Bona had completed the cel
lar of a new house and had
erected the walls and roof when
he discovered a trunk sanitary
sewer line ran eight feet under
his cellar. . : (
The board agreed the idea of
having to dig up the cellar to
get at the line, if necessary,
didn't seem too good. The mem
bers said they would move the
line ardund Bona's house. ' "
iously coaxing along several
youngsters.
They hold on tight to a small
yellow booklet, "Last Stop,
USA." With instructions on their
last few days in their homeland.
"It's exciting but you wonder
if you'll ever, get there," Mrs.
Robert H. Newby, 30, of Phoe
nix, Ariz.,' said. She was sitting
in a crwded hotel room. Her
children Bobby, 8, and Kathy,
2, jumped on the beds in a rest
less game of tag.
' Like many of the mothers,
Mrs. Newby found there was not
enough room for her to stav at
Fort Hamilton. There are quar
ters for only 700 dependents and
the others are sent to nearby
hotels.
"I saw a girl with three small
children in the lobby today, and
she said she thought this was
the longest day she'd ever put
in m tier life," Mrs. Newby said.
"And it was only noon!"
Mrs. Newby and the children
are en route to France to join
her husband, Captain Newby, a
jet pilot. When he went ahead
last " summer, she waited until
he found a place for the family
to live. Now she has sold their
home in Phoenix and is follow
ing him.
"You should have seen our
temperature c h e c k , a n d . the
orientation session today," the
pretty young mother laughed
"The children thought the tern
perature check meant another
shot, we've been vaccinated so
much. so. they began to scream
"Then they tried to tell us
about checking our baggage and
taking care of the children on the
ship. But , there was so much
noise with all the children none
of us heard much." -
The next morning thev sailed
past "The Lady" on ' a Navy
transport headed for 2'2 years
abroad.

Stabilization
Of Economy
Home demonstration units in
Jackson county 'are joining the
other - 64,048 clubs throughout
the nation in a study program to
determine how their 1,500,000
members can help to stabilize
the buying power of the dollar
and protect the economy against
harmful inflation or deflation.
This program carries out one of
the principal aims of the Na
t i o n a 1 Home Demonstration
council for the 1954-55 club sea
son,, according to Mrs. Ira T.
Burns, Medford, county commit
tee chairman.
"One simple and practical way
in which everyone can help is
by taking part in the United
States savings bonds program of
the treasury," Mrs. Burns com
mented. "Our home demonstra
tion' clubs are devoting at least
one study program this fall to
the part these bonds play in the
economy and in the f Treasury's
debt management policies, in
addition to their benefits to the
thrifty saver. When the possible
savings bond purchases of 1,-
500,000 members and their fam
ilies are added together, it runs
into billions of dollars.
' "The American Legion auxil
iary, Daughters of the American
Revolution, millions of members
of the General Federation of
Women's clubs and the Congress
of Parents and Teachers as well
as many other groups are mak
ing this a special project for the
1954-55 club year. Add all these
and you have a truly powerful
force to 'back any project, they
undertake.
"The national economy is
everybody's business. The eco
nomic welfare of the home and
family depends upon it, and it,
in turn, depends a lot on how
the home and family affairs are
managed. Our word "economy"
comes from the Greek "oikos"
meaning "house" and "nemos"
from the verb "to manage." So
economics is household manage
ment on a national or world
scale.".
