It was planned to make every phase of house work as easy as possible. The small hall space in this design allows for larger rooms elsewhere. From the wide center-hall entry, access is available to the living room, the bedroom wing and the kitchen. The master bwdreom is ex- Wq 1 1 Street Chatter New ork -(I'M- Economist John W. Harriman believes that 1960 will be a good year for the economy, in fact, a record year without a "dan gerous boom and without a dangerous declim.". Noting the uncertainties that have arisen from the re cent "sharp decline of stock prices in the face of optimistic prophecies for business," Dr. Harriman holds that '"consid eration of business prospects should be made ... by look ing both backward and for ward." This approach is logical," the economist for Tri-Conti-nenfeal Corp., points out, since a substantial cause of uncertainty lay in the under estimation of 1959 results and over estimation of the 1960 outlook. Dr. Harriman looks for fur ther expansion at a somewhat less rapid rate this year to be followed by a leveling off which could extend beyond the end of the year. He also believes that inventory ac cumulation vill become less Influential the year pro gresses. i There are many factors now that combine to favor the probability of a spring rally retracing half of the winter decline in stocks, says Trend ex. "The rally will be ragged and erratic due to the thin ness of the market and the n e r v o usness of investors." The firm favors the thin stocks that have appeal to in vestors who foresee a new in dustrial era in "space, speed, superlatives and special situations." ceptionally large for this size home and the feature of this room is twelve feet of ward robe.

The Commission is made up of members from the United States and Canada and deals with navigation and power problems. Holmes was informed Sat urday by Secretary of State Christian Herter of President Eisenhower's desire to name him to the commission. -- Holmes has been confined to his home for several weeks and said in turning down the offer he was acting on his doc tor's advice. Holmes served 16 years in Congress but did not seek re election in 1958. Farmer Co-ops Have Some Rights To Control Sales Las Vegas, Nev. - Although farmer cooperatives in actual practice never have achieved i effective monopoly in mar keting their products, their right to do so to a limited ex tent was conceded by the De partment of Justice in recent oral argument before the United States Supreme Court, it was reported Monday at a regional meeting of the Na tional Milk Producers Feder ation. Such a monopoly would have to be acquired by law ful means, and it could not be used to unduly enhance prices, it was explained. The Supreme Court ruling which is expected soon should go a long way toward clarifying the rights of agricultural co operatives under the Capper Volstead act. "When Congress passed the Capper-Volstead act in 1922, it intended to increase the bargaining power of farmers by authorizing them to act to gether in cooperatives for the sale of their products," stated M. R. Garstang, general coun sel for the federation. "At the same time, it established safe guards to prevent any abuse of the powers granted and di rected the secretary of agri culture to intervene at the first indication that prices were unduly enhanced. "Although cooperatives have been reasonably effec tive in the agricultural field, as Congress intended them to be, . they have extended into other fields in only a minor degree. "A great deal of oppositijn to cooperatives has come from retail hardware, grocery, and gasoline distributors," he said. "However, the percentage of retail sales handled by co operative establishments in these fields, as reported by the Department of Labor, is approximately 310 of one per cent." ferred, a laundry tray may be substituted for the dryer. The half-bath off the sevice is readily accessible from both the kitchen and the outside of the house so that there is no necessity for children hav ing to track from the rear door thru the house to the master bath. Louvres extend from the planter at the front of the kitchen to the eave overhang.

Washington - (UPD - The ag riculture department has plac ed these items high on the plentiful foods list for April: Cranberry products - "To lighten and brighten" any meal or odd-hour snack. Abun dant stocks of sauce and tangy juice are available. Ham-Traditional for Easter will be plentiful, along with other pork items and broil ing or frying chickens. Other plentiful - Milk and dairy products, eggs, shrimp, rice, carrots from Texas, Cal ifornia, and Arizona, "sugary" dates, and canned freestone peaches. Washington-OJPD - The agri culture; department advises gardeners to roll out the wel come mat for the lady beetle when she shows up in the spring. The lady beetle helps keep the garden clean by eating destructive aphids, scales, and other soft-bodied plant-feeding insects. Both the larva and the adult lady beetle devour the fast-multiplying aphids. Many of the lady beetles are native to the United States. But one notable im port, the small, reddish-brown Australian lady beetle, has done a fine job of fighting the cottony-cushion scale on U.S. fruit trees. The department said this Australian beetle was imported to help save the California citrus industry from destruction by plant pests-and she did the job. Garden Planting Guide Available Corvallis - Western Oregon gardeners can plan backyard vegetable plots with this handy planting calendar de vised by Oregon State college extension service horticultur ists. Suggested planting times are based on the resistance vegetables have to' killing frosts. Now or anytime between mid-March and April - is a good time to put in aspara gus, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, horseradish, kale, . spinach, turnips, kohlrabi, onions, pars ley, radishes, rhubarb, ruta baga, and peas. These hardy crops may be planted two to four weeks be fore the average date of the last killing frost. The date of the last killing . frost is hard to pin down, the OSC horti culturists note, but in Western Oregon is usually falls around May 1. - After May 1, it's safe to put in beets, carrots, cauli flower, celery, chard, endive, letture, parsnip, potatoes, or salsify, the OSC specialists say. After May 15, plant more tender New Zealand spinach, snap beans, sweet corn, and tomatoes, they advise. Vege tables in the "very tender" class include cucumbers, egg plant, lima beans, muskmelon, pepper, pumpkin;' sweet po tatoes, squash and watermel on. These . seeds need fairly high temperatures to germin ate, and plants require warm temperatures to grow. Helps on culture of indi vidual crops may be secured from county extension offices.

Trio A vAf. ican Meat Institute (AMI) says I the meat industry takes a dim view of the government grad ing system of red meat be cause it is based on an "out moded" concept that the fat test animal is the best. " "From a consumer stand point, the fattest animal ' is not the best," AMI President H. R. Davidson told a lunch group yesterday, "but the government graders tell her (the housewife) that it is." Davidson said the two things the housewife wants most in return for the 25 per cent of her food budget that she spends for meat are ten derness and a minimum of fat.
