Th$ Week's Home For Living
By HIAWATHA ESTES
This home incorporates as
many as possible of the de
tails considered to be the
most desirable by today's
homemaker. 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.

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

shower and a tub, a semi

All rooms in this home have
cross ventilation. Sliding

These doors open to a cooling

Features of the kitchen are
an eating nook, completely

desires.

Offer of IJC
Post Rejected
Ellensburg, Wash. -(LTD- Hal
Holmes of Ellensburg, former
Republican representative for
the Fourth District, said Mon
day a heart ailment caused
him to turn down the offer of
a presidential appointment to
the International joint commission.
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.
The front wall of the bedroom
wing is completely covered
with stone veneer but wood
siding or some other material
may be substituted for econ
omy's sake.
Complete plans for a de
tached double garage are fur
nished with the house plan. .

juice are available.

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.

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.
Washington-IUPD - The Agri
cultural Marketing Service
(AMS) survey shows that agri

tons of finished steel each
year.
-Uses enough raw rubber j
to put tires on some six mil-
lion cars a year.
-Uses annually more than
50 million tons of chemical

The department also has
estimated that people on U.S. I
farms spend more than 40 1
billion dollars a year on pro
