Roosevelt Heralded
As Conservationist
In Neuberger Talk
Hyde Park, N.Y. Franklin D.
Roosevelt was heralded Thurs
day as "the greatest conserva
tionist of our era," by Senator
Richard L. Neuberger of Ore
gon at the annual Memorial Day
commemerative c e r emonies at
the grave of the nation's 3Jnd
Presideit.
Neuberger cited R o o sevelt's
leadership in creatine such pro
grams as the Civilian Conserva
tion Corps, the Tennessee Valley
Authority, the Columbia River
hydro-electric-power system and
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serv
ice. "Few nations have looted their
natural resources as profligately
and in so short a period as the
United States," he said. "We
need to be reminded of an era
when a great man and his as
sociates dedicated themselves to
a pj-ogram of genuine respect
and protection of this legacy,
whicji 'we have received from
trie Almighty."
Sa& Lacking Ko
, Neuberger. declared that Roo
sevejt symbolized a fidelity to
the protection of natural resour
ces which the Oregon Senator
charged is lacking in the Eisen
JBywer administration.
"An. administration reigns in
Washington which has surrender
ed surging rivers, valuable for
ests, rare" wildlife preserves, and
immense mineral deposits to
private groups for piecemeal ex
ploitation," he said. "It is well,
I think, that the contrast in this
vital domain of government be
tween the present administration
and that of Franklin Delano Ro
osevelt should be emphasized on
this Memoria' Day."
Neuberger, a Senate member
of the Franklin D. Roosevelt
Memorial Commission, spoke
under the auspices of Mrs. Elea
nor Roosevelt, who was in charge
of the event at Hyde Park. He
and his wife Maurine were guests
of Mrs. Roosevelt for the occa
sion. Snakes Pose Problem
For House Occupants
Williamsville, N.Y. HP)
When the family of Edmund M.
Wuenst Jr. bought an old house
here last year it didn't figure
on having an unwelcome occu
pants. Such as snakes.
The Wuensts didn't think too
much of the matter when they
found a three-foot snake shortly
after moving in But things got
worse this year.
They found three more in the
basement and got rid of them.
But when one was discovered
in the kitchen at breakfast time
one day, Mrs. Wuenst decided
she needed help. But allshe got
was sympathy.
She telephoned the Amherst
police department, whjch refer
red her to the Buffalo Zoo.
"The zoo," said a dejected Mrs.
Wuenst, "said it couldn't send
anybody out but would be
glad to see the snakes if we
brought them in."
DON'T RUB YOUR EYES, IT'S TRUE That really is
Santa Claus you are looking at as he greets seven-year-old
David Edgren and his brother, Robert (hidden be
hind David), at a preview of "Santa Village" near Santa
Cruz, Calif. At left is Mimi, Santa's smallest elf. Santa
though he was too far from everything so he picked up
his entire work shop at the North Pole and moved to Cali
fornia. His Village is a 33-acre development complete
with North Pole, herd of reindeer, gingerbread house
among other unusual buildings, and dozens of elves.
Mr. Peepers Said
'Very Costly Duck'
Cincinnati flP Mr. Peeprs
is as pampered a duck as you'll
find anywhere.
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Thorton,
who got him at a county fair in
Indiana, admit there is some
question as to whether they
own Mr. Peepers or he owns
them.
"He won't eat regular duck
corn, Mrs. Thorton said. He
likes canned peas and cooked
macaroni, celery and head let
tuce.
"When I think of all the can
ned peas I've bought and the
macaroni 1 ve cooked he looks
like a very expensive duck."
Mr. Peepers always insists on
midnight lunch and quacks mad
ly until he is served.
"Once we got a female duck to
keep him company," said Mrs.
Thorton. "but he went way
down in the end of the yard and
wouldn't have a thing to do with
her. .
"Maybe he doesn't know he is
e duck. We got him when he was
a day old, and maybe he thinks
he is jut like us."

1956, a record for any one year.
The previous high mark was

In the last six years,- 425,521
ponds have been built with tecn-
nical assistance from the Soil
Conservation Service. Since the

sistance, farmers have built

two acres each.
Most of the ponds were built
as a basic conservation plan far

Have you an "occupational"
surname such as carpenter,
Farmer, Painter, Butcher or
Cooper? If so, you know how
your original ancestor made a
living. The subject of occupa
tional" names came up at a so
cial gathering the other night
and a brown-eyed, honey blonde
spoke up saying, "I never knew
anybody named Plumber." Have
you noticed how those blondes,
especially the brown-eyed ones
manage to center attention on
themselves by asking provoca
tive questions? I never knew
anybody named Plumber either.
The reason for that probably is
that when the "occupational"
name custom was in vogue there
were no plumbers. Who was the
first plumber? Ask your
plumber about that to see if he
is on the beam as to the history
of his trade.
Among the Married
The Hollywood record for
number of children is eight, held
by Maureen O'Sullivan. Rose
mary Clooney appears out to
break this record. Married four
years she has two children, ex
pects another this summer. This
brings to mind that when Ava
Gardner married Frank Sinatra
she said, "I want lots of chil
dren. I have always wanted to
emulate my grandmother who
had 19 children."
Guide to Gals
Women born under Pisces
(Feb. 20-March 20) do more talk
ing than any other females of
the Zodiac. When a Picses
woman' is conversing, getting a
word in edgewise is a real
achievement. You may have
heard of the woman whose hus
band said to her, "Anything
wrong, dear? You have hardly
said 2,000 words all evening."
She was probably a Piscean. Or,
so say the stargazers.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
actresses have had five or more
husbands? A. Gloria Swanson,
Arline Judge, Pearl Bailey and
Peggy Hopkins Joyce. That's all
I can think of offhand. Q. Why
was St. Thomas of Aquinas
named the patron saint of psy
choanalysts? A. Because about
700 years ago he argued a doc
tor should have the right to
probe a patient's mind as much
as his body.
Inflation
How long have governments
been worrying about that thing
called "inflation?" Can't an
swer that exactly. However,
Aristophanes discussed infla
tion in a play written in 405
B.C., over 2,300 years ago!
Asides '
The majority of men judge a
woman's age by her hair. Women
pay no attention to the color of
another female's hair when
figuring her age. They judge by
the chin, the elbows and the
knees . . . The first song I ever
heard Al Jolson sing was titled
"Love Thy Neighbor as Thy
self, But Leave His Wife Alone."
Sidelights
What do women who marry
twice do with the wedding rings
slioped on their fingers by their
first husbands? Norma Shearer
keeps on wearing her first wed
ding ring. She put her second
wedding ring over it . . . The
eminent photographer Cecil
Beaton says Greta Garbo is the
world's most photogenic female.
Most Swedish women are quite
photogenic. Next in that re
spect are the Italians. Most un
photogenic are Englishwomen.
Rules Listed (or
Use of Farm Credit
The only exception to the law
requiring signing one surname
in official documents in Eng
land is the royal family who
sign only their acknowledged
baptismal names.
Champaign, 111. tin Farm
families are justified in borrow
ing money, says a credit spec
ialist, but because of the increas
ed risk they should follow cer
tain rules for wise use of credit.
A. T. Anderson. University of
Illinois farm credit specialist,
listed these rules for sound use
of credit in j farming and for re
ducing borrowing risks:
Limit borrowing for enter
prises that are not fully under
stood; to keep debts low, use
loans for purposes that will re
turn the mot for every dollar
borrowed and in the shortest
time; study price trends, espec
ially on items bought with bor
rowed money, have adequate in
curance for added risks; use
loans only for purposes that will
increase income.
The rules are part of a new
circular published by the Uni
versity of Illinois College of Ag
riculture "Borrowing to Increase
Farm Earnings with Minimum
Bisk."
The Holstein cow was import
ed into the U.S. in 1857 from
Holland.
