NO-I DONT LIKE fTJTJUL VWRiCI W f IT ASA I'rab Food By BILL JENKINS List night marked the annual crib feed down at Malm. And as usual the people don there did a bang-up job of it. What looked to me like a near record crowd and all ol them hungry for that won derful crab. The remark waa passed several times within my hearing that if every town had the same civic spirit as Malln there would be a lot more hustle to the world. True. Anion other thlnti it was a welcome relief to go to a crowded banauet such as that during elec- tion year and not have to listen to a lot of long and windy point- cal speeches. Matter of fact, the tew aspirants on hand weren't even given a chance to get up and Introduce themselves. For which congratulations to Malin. That takes a lot of doing. Even the office seekers present seemed to e n 1 o y the situation Nothing to do but est crab, visit with their friends and nave a gooa time. Mv thanks to Jerry Rainus and his crew who kept us so well supplied in our private corner of the hall. The only trouble was that the service was so good I ate too much. Bt ill bulging today. More that usual, that is. The sun waa shining faintly when we got up this morning and It was almost warm compared to what it has been. A welcome thing alter all our rain and snow and foul weather. According to the weather reports we were supposed to be buried under about two feet of snow this morning and instead we get the best nay we ve hsd in ten days Glen Jackson, the Medford end of Conco, was In town the other day and said the long range report promised another month of w e t weather.

II of ail Memo y DEB ADDISON Attendance at the Klimith Ba sin Home Show last Friday and Saturday confirmed what we've been -reading about people plan ning to Improve, repair and mod ernize their homes. Albert M. Cole, F. H. A. Admin istrator, predicts a 20 percent In crease 1n this kind of home work nationally. Headquarters of Opera tion Home Improvement, a year long nationwide campaign, ius gested by President Elsenhower and sponsored by the U.S. Cham ber of Commerce point out thil AO percent of all homeowners spent nothing on home Improvement last year- 30 'million American hornet haven't been painted in 10 years, and 00 percent of postwar homes built to minimum standards are inn rmirII fnr the normal increase In family sire . . . md the trend on family site Is Increasing. Attendance at the home show here was half again more than last February. The official figure is 5149 adults. That is based on adding a thousand to the 4149 who actually signed in. Last year 2135 signed In. Ouesslng at the number ol lookers who came In the back door or who otherwise didn't sign in. It would run a lot more than that. Anyway, a lot of homeowners at tended and they were there tor Just one reason, to look at the hun dreds or new materials and gadg ets tor the home that the exhibi tors had on display. The Interest was on an Individual basts and what these homeowners do tn the wny of Improvement will be over and above commercial construc tion for military and other new housing needs.

That was 10 8 per cent below the coriesponding level oi last year. History By KEN McLEOD History of the Algonkln people Is well fixed in the American scene since the most famous Individual Indlins in our eirly history were Algonkln for example. Pocahontis, who msrrled in Englishman of rink, ind Missisolt, who wel comed the pilgrims at Plymouth and taught them how to rilse corn. Among the Important tribes in New England were Penobscot, Narra ganset, Pequot, Wampanoag and Mihlcin. Some of the first settlers indi vidually quirreled with the Indians who in turn sought reprisals in true Indiin code which in turn grew into open wirfire; the In dians reuniting in kind. The set tlers cut mi the heads and hands of Indians they killed and set them up on poles In the towns as an example expected to impress fear upon their enemies. In reality this crude barbaric medieval custom merely enraged the Indians who in turn scalped and tortured such whites as fell their way. In a short time all colonies were offering bounties for Indian heads and scalps. An Infant's scalp brought Just is much as that of a man or woman. War followed war, producing great leaders on both sides, but the most conspic uous Indian leader was King Philip, feired by the English for his ability. Philip fought valiantly to the last. Washington Irving has Immortalised him In literature. portraying his strength of charac ter under the stress of great sor row and adversity. Another great leader. Canonchet. an associate of Philip, showed equal nobility, as when captured and sentenced to death, he said "that he liked It well, for he should die before his heart was soft, or he had spoken anything unworthy of himself." Today our language Is graced with Algonkln words, the word wigwam is an Algonkin term for house, When we speak the term "wigwam." however, we are most apt to visualize the skin tents of the Indian of the plains. Black foot as in example but neverthe less members of the Algonkin family. The Eastern Algonkin wig wam was an oval framework of poles, bent into dome shape and covered with slabs or e m bark or similar materials. Where avail able, blrchbark was preferred, es pecially in summer. sometimes the winter coverings were mats mide of cattail stalks, these giving more warmth than bark. The fire was In the center of the lodge, the floor was of tramped earth, and platforms around the sides served as sleep ing and sitting places. The hous ing was simple and comfortable enough for the Indians. Clothing was not elaborate: even in winter the men went about in moccasins, leggings, breechcloth nnd a 'robe. The characteristic woman's costume wis a skirt formed by folding a rectangular sltin around the waist. On occa .Hon, a Jacket was worn as an up per garment. Except in the Far North, the women tended small plots of ground In the forest; the chief crop being corn, though squashes nnd beans were added. Many foods typical of the eastern Algonkin were adopted by the colonists. To day we owe the Algonkln for sucn products as lye-hominy, succotash, wild rice, popcorn, maple sugar, etc. However, though the Indian gave these agriculturil products to the white man his true economy was based upon being a forest hunter, the common deer being his chief food animal, furnishing line skins for cluthing as well. Most household utensils were of bark and wood, tnough some bas kets were made of wood splints; but what attracts the attention of the while man is the wide use these woodland Indians made of certain fibers from the inner bark of such trees as linn, swamp ash. etc. Even today we find Indian women In Wisconsin and Minneso ta making string of this bark In the sime old w-ay. The fibers are shredded from the bArk and twist ed Into thread and twine by rolling back and forth under the palm of the hand on the naked thigh or calf of the leg. Monopoly Bv JAMES MARLOW help ol President Eisenhower. The department goofed once and got caught in Its own flypaper an other time while Hoover, the under secretary, was running ihe show or Dulles, who was on vacation 'The first involved rh r-i. .h. around Formosi Hoover, with tile ipprovil of El senhowei. gave in inswer which got a bid world reaction ind which Chou said -Imost closed Ihe door on my talks. The answer wis giv en so fast it couldn't hivt been thought out verv well. Hoover said the United States would must that the Nationalist Chinese on Formosa sit In on any talks. This would Just about pre vent even exploratory talks since the Reds and Nationalists don't recognize each other as legitimate governments. When he got back from vaca tion Dulles tried to straighten out this error by saying Nationalist China wouldn't have to sit in on a cease-fire talk but would have to be there if the conversation got arouna to who owned Formosa. Hoover's next big unhappy mo ment came this month. Without any public announcement the State Department planned to send 18 tanks to Saudi Arabia. It might never nave said anything about it If there hadn't been a leak. Some one saw the tanks on the Brooklyn waterfront, ready to be loaded on a boat bound for Saudi Arabia. Sending tanks to the Arabs was big news, since the department for months had been delaying action on the pleas of Isriel for weapons. The Israelis said they needed equipment for defense against the Arab nations. Not until it was asked about It, and then only after some delay, did the State Department say it had approved the tanks for Saudi Arabia. It tried to brush off the whole business by saying it was a routine matte. But It wasn't routine to the news papers and radio which played the news big. Many members of Con gress sympathetic to the Israelis' request for arms denounced the shipment. Quickly Hoover he now savs with Elsenhower's approval or dered the shipment suspended. This infuriated . the Arabs. All sides were angry at the department now. In a few days the department lift ed the suspension, let the tanks be shipped. How did this happen in the first place? And why, once the State Department had decided to let Saudi Arabia have the tanks, did it suspend the shipment at all? Hoover tried to explain to the Sen ate Foreign Relations Committee. Whatever light his testimony threw on the deal, it was a con fusing kind of light. This was his story; Some years ago. when Saudi Arabia let the United States build an air base there, close to Russia. It got this country to agree to sell It arms later. Last April It asked for tanks for training purposes. On Aug. 25 the United States agreed. Saudi Arabia paid for the tanks Nov. 26 and was notified the tanks would be shipped in February. This gave the 8tate Department more than two months to check to be sure everything about this transaction was legal. But when the legality of it was questioned. Hoover said, he decid ed the department hsd better check to be sure everything was legal. This didn't make Hoover or the department look very sure of what they were doing. Leveling Off By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK W-SiEns of a lev eling off In business nonpar to day from several sources. But that's nil It is a leveling off at a very high peak. The same sources could put it. -Just as ac curately, another way: business Is good it Just isn't getting much better at the moment. Today's signs ate mostly In the field of new orders. A number of companies report that production remains at a peak but new orders aren't pouring in at the same rate s a few months back. The Business Survey Committee of the National Assn. of Purchas ing Agents says Its February re port "confirms the slight levelmg oft In Industrial business conditions that was reported In January bv purchasing executives." Most ma terials should come Into a better supply and demand balance In the next six months. New orders for machine tools have slipped from their yearend peak, the National Mnchme Tool Builders Assn. reports in Cleve land. But in spite of a drop In new orders In January the back log of orders in the industry re mains high. Industry spokesmen doubt if orders will pick up much tor awnue but they have enough to keep them busy for months Retail trade has been leveling off. Department store sales stav above the year-ago mark. But that If offset by the drop in retail auto sales and to some extent in home furnishings is home building ta pers off. The NatlonAl Automobile Deal ers Assn. takes a dimmer view of the loss tn January and Feb ruary. Seasonal factors get part of the blame, but association spokes men fear the industry oversold last year and will have to wait for the demand to catch up. Autn makers are more upliitiis tic. They expect new car sales this month to top January, although to fall short of last year's record. (liibfool By EDWIN P. JORDAN. M. D. A child born wuh a deformed twisted loot tot which there are several varieties) is said to have a "clubfoot." The exact cause of this condi tion is now known. It is possible thst the c Kiln ool Is mereiy the result of an ibuormal position of the toot inside the womb of the mother. This is one theory In some cases t h e clubfoot may be caused bv i failure to de velop properly before birth. This miy be because of something In herited directly from the parents, but no one knows certainly. About one child out ot a thousand la bom with a clubfoot. The condition ts about twice as common in boys is in girls. Curiously enoush clubfoot oc rnis more olten in some puts of the country than in others and It would certainly be Interesting to know why. There Is a greater tendency to have children With a clubfoot In some families than in others. Old er mothers have more chance of bearing a child with a clubfoot than do young mothers. Also mothers who have had one child with a clubfoot or some oth er defect which Is present at birth are more likely to have children born later with similar deformi ties. - . . In recent years It has been dis covered that mothers who have had German measles during the first three months of pregnancy have an increased chance of having chil dren with some deformity, auch as a clubfoot. The deformed foot is usually smaller than the normal foot. The heel is likely to be smaller and underdeveloped. Frequently the foot is so twisted that all of the weight la carried either on the ball of the foot or even on what would nor mally be the top of the foot. The tendons ana bones of the foot are therefore twisted. If the clubfoot remains un treated the condition tends tc be come worse, largely because of the Increased pressure from ab normal weight-bearing. Treatment should always be be gun early. If it is startea within the first six months of life there la excellent chance that the de formity can be corrected without surgery. There is. however, a danger of recurrence and consequently treat ment Is usually divided into three stages. These are the correction of the deformity, keeping the foot corrected until normal muscle bal ance has been regained, and ob servation for several years. Manipulation by hand is often helpful. Bandaging can be used early. Casts and a number of dif ferent kinds of operations are em ployed. Just what should be done for a particular child with a club foot depends on how severe it Is. how old the child is. what previous treatment he has had, and many other considerations. Viet IVam Policy By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Staff Correspondent France is getting increasingly angry over the United States policy In the Indochinese state of Viet Nam. The situation could develop into a serious quarrel. President Ngo Dinh Diem of Viet Nam Is building himself up to tne status ot a delator. He Is not only strengthening his personal authority but Is steadily squeezing France out of his coun try, which was a French protec torate for 70 years. The United States strongly sup ports Diem. France, which named him Premier in June,- 1954, did so onlv at Amertcin insistence. Since then Diem has succeeded in ousting playboy Emperor Bno urn ana making himself president. r ranee now Is accusing the United States of helping Diem to eliminate ill Flench Influence In Viet Nam. Flench Foreign Minister Chris tian Pineau made the accusation openly in a speech to the French Senate In Paris last Thursday "I believe the United Slates has made a mistake In trying to eliminate France from Viet Nam for ils own benefit." he said. Pineau Intends to- take up the Issue with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles during the confer ence of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organisation members which starts In Karachi, Pakistan, next Tuesday. He has been Instructed bv his government to protest strongly against American policy. He will hold that "anti-French"' sentiment by the United States in Vict Nam Is weakening the whole allied position in Southeast Asia. !UOfPN By UNITED PRESS UNITED NATIONS.
