tj-Z Village Outlaws Banner Proclaiming Hometown of Adlai Libertyville. III. U.R A village council has decided to coutlaw a banner proclaiming Libertyville the home town of Adlai E. Stevenson. Village President Francis J Berry said he planned to write a "neighborly" letter to the Demorcatic presidental candid ate, explaining that the sign was removed because it was illegal. The fact that the majority of Libertyville voters usually mark their ballots on the Republican side has nothing to do with the banner. Berry insisted. Local merchants were aware of the many tourist dollars that were not filling their cash reg isters simply because traveling voters-were apparently ignorant of the town's connection with the candidate. Consequenty, a large banner was unfurled across the main street of Libertyville. Large letters welcomed the vis itor to: "Libertyville The Home of Adlai." No sooner was the banner raised than Berry ordered it lowered. He cited a law pro hibiting street banners here be cause they constitute a safety hazard. The businessmen, however, were not too pleased with the rebuke to their enthusiasm and local pride. They argued that Democratic dollars were just as valuable as Republican dollars. Berry temporarily appeased them by calling on the Village Council for support. The council voted, 4-2, to haul J? Builders Supply fcifinbbjH QUALITY mm, blocks N Hfc3 Bricks.

By LLOYD ROCHELLE United Press Correspondent Harrisburg, Pa. (U.R)' U.S. Sen. James H. Duff is a veteran of many rough and tumble poli tical campaigns in Pennsylvania, but he has the toughest fight of his career this year in his bid for a secoii term. The 72 -';;). old former gover nor has oft; n -,-,id he never back ed away f. - n fight. He has a formidable o-.'Onent in Joseph Sill Clark Jr., former mayor of down the offending sign. This decision was made in the face of a pro-banner petition signed by 172 townspeople. Berry said that he would write Stevenson "strictly on a person al basis" to explain that there was nothing personal in the council's decision. Philadelphia, the state's largest city. Each candidate professes con fidence, but political dopesters figure the outcome is a toss-up at this stage. And with 47 Re publicans and 49 Democrats now in the Senate, this is another of the contests on which control of the upper house may hinge. Duff has the personal backing of President Eisenhower, with all the weight that may carry with the voters. He is the Presi dent's senator since the Eisen hower farm home is on the edge of historic Gettysburg battlefield in Central Pensylvania. Duff is recognized as one of the first to urge Mr. Eisenhower to run four years ago. He said recently that he did not want to run again and only did so at the request of the White House. Clark is a newcomer on the state ballot, but his reform rec- candled wirn are. Every time you buy Nulade eggs you know they're fresh! Only carefully candled and graded local farm-fresh eggs go info Nulade cartons. LOOK FOR THE DIAMOND AT YOUR GROCERS... ord in Philadelphia made him a shrewd choice to run against Duff. The Democratic organiza tion, headed by young Gov. George Leader and Pittsburgh Mayor David Lawrence, has thrown all its resources into the battle. It has had good success in its fund drive and registration campaign. The traditional Republican majority on the voting lists has been pared down from about one million in 1952 to some 400,000 in last spring's primary. Duff packs a big impact as a personality. He stands close to six feet and weighs about 200 pounds. His close-cropped hair is dappled with gray. He is a fine orator. 'Big Jim," as he is known in Pennsylvania politics, has been a consistent supporter of the Eisenhower program in the Sen ate. tiarK, wno looks younger than his 55 years, could be tak en for a vigorous advertising ex ecutive or businessman . He is quick of movement and com pletely at home in the street cor ner rallies. That was a technique he used when the Democrats cracked the long Republican hold on Philadelphia's city hall a few years back. He is a magna cum laude grad uate of Harvard, practiced- law from 1926 to 1952 except for five years in the Army Air Force in the China-Burma theater during World War II. Clark has hit Duffs voting record and "absenteeism" in the Senate. He contends Duff has been absent from 37 per cent of Senate roll calls in his first five years there a charge emphati cally denied by Duff. He also charges Duff has done nothing to help Pennsylvania's small businessman, farmers and con sumers. On the GOP side, Duff is mak ing much of the S50 a plate din ner in Harrisburg Sept. 13 which opened Adlai Stevenson's cam paign. Duff has turned over to the Justice Department docu ments which he says prove state employees were forced to contri bute to the dinner under threat of losing their jobs. The Democrats reply that any job changes made have been nor mal turnovers in personnel. Garden Notes Br C. B. CORDY County Extension Agent for Horttculrvro As soon as rainy weather starts there will be a fungus dis ease attacking quite a group of plants related to the Arborvitaes. The Berckman's Arborvitae is most severely affected but many of the other small ornamental arborvitae and Cyprus plants are affected. When the disease becomes es tablished it kills off little twigs. This generally occurs only in one area or on one side of the plant. This area then appears quite dead and brown. The disease is quite easy to tontrol if a neutral copper spray is applied thoroughly and at the right time. As the spray must prevent infection it needs to be applied in the near future. One fourth pound of neutral copper in 3 gallons of water or 5 pounds per 100 gallons sprayed onto the plants until they are thorough ly soaked will prevent infection. The addition of a little detergent would assist in getting good cov erage and thereby improve control. Some plants will already have brown dead areas from last year's infection. These areas can be cleaned up by beating with a rake or by brushing vigorously with a gloved hand. This proce dure would not only improve the appearance of the plant but it would also reduce the source of infection and make control by spraying somewhat easier. Where plants have been severely infected a second spray should Thursday. October 18, 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FITE On The Side (Distribute! by Klna Fi The Hague This is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited and also one of the friendliest. English is widely spoken. If you ask for directions the person queried is very likely to accompany you to where you want to go and point out places of interest on the way. It is an extremely cosmpolitan .city having long been the locale of the foreign embassies. Also, as you know, the locale of the "peace palace." The American embassy is a few doors from the hotel Des Indies where we are staying. The Des Indies is one of the finest hotels in Europe and . recently celebrated its 75 anniversary. It is the rendezvous of the members of the diplomatic 'corps. Pleas Not The population of The Hague is over half a million. To be exact 555,339. It is the third largest city in The Netherlands, the first being Amsterdam and the second Rotterdam. There is an acute housing shortage in The Hague. This is largely due to the damage the city suffered from during World War II when it was occupied by the Germans. It was from Scheveningen, A suburb of The Hague that the Germans launched their VI and V2 missiles on England. Retalia tion by Allied planes caused much destruction in The Hague, Houting Young married couples have great difficulty in getting a house in The Hague. For child less couples there is no chance to get into a new housing de velopment. Those with one child have an outside chance. Two child couples have a fair chance. Those with three children top the list. So as soon as a pair of young people marry they start to try for three children. One couple had triplets and got a house immediately. In addition to acquiring a house having children in The Hague has another advantage. It brings about a marked decrease in the income tax. Furthermore, there is a government bonus for each. So now you know why The Netherlands currently has the highest birth rate in Europe. Lunchon Had a delightful lunch at a place called Krul's in down town section of The Hague. It was a rarity in two respects. There was no service charge. And it was served by a beau tiful waitress. As I told you smart looking females are rare in The Hague. However, I also promised our bachelor subscrib ers, who may contemplate visit ing Holland that I would try to locate some pulchritudinous females. I am off to a good start. This tray queen, a beautiful brunette, speaks perfect English, has a million dollar smile and beautiful brown eyes. I had a delicious lunch consisting of tomatensoep, broodje met ham, apppelbol and koffee met gebak. Cost me 60 cents. Prices American cigarettes on sale here are definitely in the luxury v E. V. Durling :iture Smdici-t. Inc.) class. Price of popular brands is 25 cents a package . . . Scotch whisky is much cheaper here than in New York. About 52 cheaper per fifth for the best known brands . . . The ice cream is wonderful. An ice cream soda costs about 20 cents . . . you can get an excellent dinner in the best restaurants in The Hague for about S2. A meal that would cost you five times as much in New York restaurants of similar class. Taxicabi The taxicabs in The Hague are very elegant. Are like lim ousines. Drivers are attired in chauffeurs' uniforms. Rates are about 20 cents for the first five eighths of a mile and eight cents for each additional five-eighths of a mile. For 28 cents you can ride a mile and a quarter. When you get off the driver will open the door for you. If you tip him he thanks you profusely. Grammar Grammatically, The Nether lands is handled as a plural. I have been saying "The Nether lands is." I should have said "The Netherlands are." As for example: "The Netherlands Ere not very large, being approx imately 12,883 square miles in area." My grammatical error will cost me plenty of stogies. Particularly in Boston. Oh, well, I will pay off in Dutch stogies. They can be bought for about three for a nickel.
