ARMY KIDS NAVY Madison, Wis. tU.R) Navy men in Wisconsin take a lot of kidding these days from the Army because of'a careless mis take in a state stature. Accord ing to a 1909 -law. it' is illegal to wear Navy clothing in Wis consin. But whoever wrote the law forgot to insert the crucial word "Navy" in the main and oualifying section of the statute. Thus anyone wearing a Navy uniform, unless he is in the Army.;, Marines or National Guard, can be fined up to S100 and sentenced to 33 days in jail.

Mother won't let me visit my favorite aunt. Mrs. G. B. I can't expose Barbara to this woman. Barbara B. I am 15 years old and am having a problem with my mother, who doesn't want me to visit my favorite aunt. Aunt Jennie is my father's sister and she lives in a differ ent city. She and I have the same interests in the theater and mu sic. Aunt Jennie used to be on the stage and had small parts in opera and can tell me all kinds of thines. ' I want to be a singer or an actress and Aunt Jennie tells me how to walk and talk and put on make-up. She likes me to visit her for a few days every vacation. When my father was alive we used to visit her to gether, but after he died. Mother wouldn't let me go at all. She says I can't go alone and she won't go with me. Mrs. G. B. I haven't been able to explain to Barbara that Jennie is and always has been a very immoral woman. She has had many marriages and affairs. I didn't object when my husband went to see her after all, she is his sister and Barbara was too young then to understand things. I wouldn't dream of letting Barbara spend any time alone with Jennie. I don't think, Jen nie would expose Barbara to anything improper if she were ! sober but I know I can't count on that. It's really too bad, because Jennie is my husband's only liv ing relative and she's not a bad sort at heart, but I can't take a chance on exposing Barbara to this woman". The Council Mrs. G. B. has been wrong in refusing to ex plain the situation to Barbara. If Barbara is old enough to "understand things," she is old enough to be told her mother, doesn't consider Jennie a pro per person to take charge of a young girl for any length of time. As" a matter of fact, de spite her innocent air, Barbara very likely -has a strong inkling what the score is. The average teen-ager would and Barbara seems like an average girl. The secrecy about Aunt Jen nie has probably helped to glam ourize this woman in Barbara's eyes, and it is another reason why her mother ought to take the bull by the horns and ex plain things. She can point out that although Jennie seems to have had an exciting life, she can't have been a very happy person. She can explain Jennie's many, marriages represent not so much romance, as failure and unhappiness. She can tell Bar bara Jennie tends to drink too much and this represents an ef- i fort to escape sadness and fu tility. '- - Mrs. G. B. shows she bears Jennie no ill will and she should explain this to Barbara. She can let the girl know it is possible to admire a person for good qual ities, even while being aware of bad ones. It would be a good idea for Mrs. G. B. to -go with Barbara on occasional visits to Jennie and let. the girl have, contact with her not only because she is Barbara's aunt, but because the girl finds her interesting and Monday. NoTmbr It, 1SSI of her resignation would coin cide with the appointment of a new ambassador. Mrs. Luce, who has been the envoy to Italy for over three years, said in her letter of res ignation that she had been "con cerned for some time now that my state of health might prevent me from giving my task the full measure of effort which it so richly deserves." a6r"Ah.-iiopi'ij3Vtfe Safe 4 withdraw tha world will faca a f - attractive. Conducted on this level, the experience of know ing Jennie can be enriching. Keeping Jennie as a skeleton in the closet will make the wom an mysteriously exciting in the wrong way. (Copyright 19SE.

For each of us the fancy roves far out and away, to the green places, where the air is cool and clean, where the trill of the robin and the lay of the lark re place the mill whistle and the alarm clock. The oaks were green and the air was clean and fresh for the begrimed Chicagoans who came out for weeks ends on the muddy shore of the Indiana lake, where we lived for a time in the 1930s. At least for a day the children were in the woods, outdoors, off the dirty and dangerous streets. With Mom. it was still the toil of housekeeping, yet a change.

Few if any Americans would be paralyzed by polio in 1957 "if most of us up to 50" took polio shots, Dr. Jonas E. Salk predict ed today. The Pittsburgh scientist made the claim on the basis of latest findings about the effectiveness of his polio vaccine. In a speech prepared for the American Public Health Asso ciation, Salk summed up evi dence that the vaccine shots, properly made and spaced, can produce long lasting immunity. Polio hits adults as well as children, he said. One fourth of cases now occur in adults aged 30 to 50. To best prevent the chain of infection and paralysis, adults should also take the three shots, he said. Salk said the evidence all in dicated "there need be little, if any, paralytic polio in the Unit ed States in 1957 if all who are potentially susceptible are treat ed with vaccine that is now av ailable." Atomic Missiles Loaded on Ships Honolulu (UK Atomic missiles from super secret Pearl Harbor arsenals are being load ed onto "wartime ready units" of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, the Honolulu Advertiser reported Sunday. The newspaper said Pacific submarines are now operating with the Navy's deadliest weapon, regular guided missiles with atomic warheads. The paper said the Navy has cancelled leaves, placed liberty for key fleet personnel. These restrictions have been ordered since the outbreak of the Middle East crisis. Adm. Felix Stump, comman der in chief of the Pacific Fleet, has been conferring with high Navy and military officials in Washington. He was due back here Sunday night. It said the naval buildup at Pearl Harbor was not apparent to the eye. It said the Navy learned its lesson on Dec. 7. 1941, when i)s warships offered juicy targets to Japanese pilots.

And then, back in the thick of the grind, the worst of. it was made sup portable by the certainty that, come Saturday, the old bus would be rolling down from Chi cago to Indiana again and this time, surely, the bass would be biting hard. There were 500 summer homes about this one lake, which was only 485 acres in extent, had a muddy bottom except for a couple of artificially sanded beaches, and was fringed with second-growth black oaks. Most of the owners of the homes about that lake were city folks of modest means. Every summer Saturday they drove from 50 to 90 miles through heavy traffic to reach this patch of weedy water and little trees, and every summer Sunday they fought traffic to get back into the grime and heat of Lake Michigan's Cinder Shore. Happiness Haven Man was first a nomad, a be ing who lived by hunting in the woods and fishing in the streams. The more settled and stable his workaday life become, the stronger is his age-old urge to move on, inthe way of his re mote and shaggy ancestors. Then, now and forever the pursuit of peace and happiness endures. It is hope and faith in action. So we put such names as "Shady Rest" and "Happiness Haven" on our summer cottages and cabins, though we never think of the like for our homes in town. It is because the place in the country, the shack in the woods, the cottage by a lake is nearly always an ideal realized, and expression of an ancient yearning of the race, of the rest less roving springtime spirit of mankind. Now, in advanced years, an old boompond shack is my "Hap piness Haven", my dream home far from the "Madding Crowd." Once, when we were young, we started planning in November, we built in the spring, then June-time we were hiding away week ends in "Shack Stevens" by Lovely Lake. Rockies, Northern Plains Get Cold By UNITED PRESS Colder air moved eastward over the northern and central Rockies and the northern plains easly today, but it was to warm slightly east of the Mississippi river. Meanwhile, a light snowstorm laid a blanket of white across Colorado. Wyoming and the I mountains of Northern New Mexico Sunday. Weathermen said light snows could be ex 1 pected in the same area today. The cold air mass caused snow flurries as it swung across the Rockies and the plains states. Temperatures dropped as much as 20 degrees, and in some areas readings were below 10 degrees early today. ' It was still chilly along the Eastern Seaboard, but weather man said it would be 'warmed erst of the Mississippi, with scattered showers over the Northern Great Lakes region. Generally cooler weather pre vailed over the Pacific North west and the Great Basin area, with widely scattered showers and snow flurries. Gold Beach Firm Ruled Guilty by NLRB Washington U.R) Camp bell and McLean. Inc., a green veneer firm at Gold Beach, Ore., has been found guilty of unfair labor practices by an examiner of the National Labor Relations board. Examiner Howard Myers rec ommended that the company be ordered to reinstate two workers that he said had been discharged for union activities. Ray and Etta Nelson were dis charged last spring. Officials of the firm said Mrs. Campbell had been discharged for refusing to accept transfer to another job and that her husband had been fired for doing unsatisfactory work. The examiner discounted the Campbell and McLean allega tions. $ $ $ $ $ $ Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.P.) Cus tomers of artist Paul Clemens might not realize it, but when they buy of his paintings they often hang Eleanor Par ker over the mantle. The beauti ful a c t r e ss seldom shows off husband Clemens' Aline Mosbr work. But walking into her large, elegant Beverly Hills home you can't help but notice that most of the paintings on the walls look like Eleanor. Even before she married the well-known portrait painter, she confessed today, she posed when he suddenly was inspired to paint a female figure or a land scape with a woman in it. "A publisher's wife, for ex ample, bought one of Paul's paintings that shows the back of my head but I'm sure she doesn't know who trie model was," the film queen smiled. Painting Very 'Renoir-ish' "Edith Head, the designer, owns a painting I posed for. But she suggested that! She had a hat with pink roses and thought Paul should paint me in it. She liked the painting so well she bought it. It's very Renoir-ish." Some Clemens customers, how ever, suspect the model is Elea nor when it isn't. Jane Powell bought a landscape from the art ist and was sure the women in the background was the film star. . "But it was a professional model wearing my blouse," laughed Eleanor. Then there's a nude hanging in Clemens' sumptuous studio that adjoins the home. That was not posed by Mrs. Clemens, but by a model with the astounding name of Kilo Watts (she has a sister named Twinkle). The actress refuses to let Clemens sell many of the paint ings that are frankly of Eleanor Parker "because I love every thing he does." They hang on the walls of their home. Clemens, who looks more like a banker than an artist, has painted her on some of her movie sets. One oil shows her as the. crippled singer of "Interrupted Melody." Can't Paint Three Eleanors Eleanor's current boss, pro ducer Kirk Douglas, wanted Clemens to paint the actress in her highly unusual role for "Lizzie." But the artist, much in demand to paint portraits of wealthy women, didn't have time to paint three Eleanors. In the film she portrays a girl with a personality that's split three ways. "It's called a multiple hysteri cal personality," said the act ress, who scored in previous dra matic roles in "Caged" and "Man With a Golden Arm." "At times Lizzie is a good girl. Then she turns into a play girl, or a sick introvert.
