A Welcome Good'Wil! By W. C. ROGERS A FRIEND IN POWER. By Car los H. Baker, Scribners. $3.95. The chairman of the modern languages department in a univer sity not too far from New York City serves on a committee to choose a new president for his in stitution, according to this first novel by the chairman of the Eng lish department' at Princeton, a university not too far from New York City with a new president chosen not two years ago. This is not the university life seen through the cynical or caus tic eyes of a StringfcIIow Barr or a Mary McCarthy, but a picture. if not almost a vision, of a well meaning and able board of direc tors working through a loyal facul ty group to find the one uniquely qualified individual. You'll be in terested not only for the main theme but also for the background of a busy teacher's yearly round committee meetings, boys in trouble, colleague plagued by a first wite and other legitimate con cerns interfering with classroom work and with the longing to write a book. This, I like to imagine, is the way it really is; here is a welcome good word, and an en joyable one, for. at least one comer of our often criticized educational system. Household Hints By UNITED PRESS You can keep sweet potatoes from discoloring by adding a slice of lemon to the boiling water. To make skillets easy to clean, put detergent and a little water in the bottom before starting your dishwashing. 1 Don't throw away the wax paper in which bread is wrapped. It will do a slick job of polishing a tea kettle or nickel on a stove.

Writing Desk Made From Hardboard Panel A chest drawer can be converted easily into a small writing desk the top. The hardboard panel should be wide enough to cover about two-thirds the width of the drawer. It is held in place by quarter-round cleats screwed to the inside surfaces of the sides and front of the drawer. Mount the deals so the hardboard is flush with the drawer top. The "desk" panel can be moved back to get at the contents of the draw er or can be removed entirely when not in use. By VIVIAN BROWN You may have your gripes against the home builder, ladies. But taint nothing compared to the headaches you give him. Take a quiet-hearted Irishman like Dan Grady of B rook v Hie. Long Island, for instance. Do you think he's in business to keep wom en from buying homes? Absolutely not. He iust wants you to think before you come to see him. He puts It Uiis way: 'What happens when a woman wants to buy a house? It runs to a pattern. She has spent six months or six years clipping beau tiful pictures from the very best home magazines. She takes the best feature out of every $100,000 home, and wants it incorporated into one for $20,000. She beams when she shows me the notebook pasted .up with pictures of her dream house, and revels that she has saved me trouble. It's always loaded with glass. beautifully patterned floors, a bath room so luxurious it would put an- Cross Breeding Is Under Study Additional information on wheth er crossbreeding of dairy cattle can usefully serve the nation s dairy industry is the goal of a study just begun by U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture dairy scien tists at the Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, Maryland. The long-range project will com pare purebred Brown Swiss, Ayr shire, and Holstem cows to cross es of the same breeds. The test matings have been planned so that two-and three-way crosses can be compared in the same generation Results of the trials will be evaluated on the basis of milk production, buttcrfat content of the milk, sohds-not-fat production breeding characteristics, birth weight, growth rate of calves, and feed efficiency. This study should give further information on the value of crossbreeding for rapid herd improvement-when sires from artificial breeding establishments are used. Egg Production Is Down Slightly Oregon has fewer layers than a year ago. Egg production in this state is down slightly.' fcven so. local supplies arc ample to some what in excess of the demand. Since the warehousemen's strike began in the Seattle area, some supplies normally finding outlets there are being diverted to the Portland market. Tnis plus lower values at Seattle influence a low er price trend at Portland. Since the first of May prices paid Port land area producers adjusted downward two to three cents a dozen.

Grady says she wants built-in units to replace pieces she has seen at $500 or more. Only she wants them for $10 additional cost. The fact that women cannot face. Grady says, "or choose to ignore" is that lovely things cost money. "You must provide smelling salts when you tell her the entire cost of the home." He builds in the $40,000-and-up range. But does she give up? No. She thinks if she lops off a few tilings. she'll get the house $10,000 cheap er,. Grady continues: His system is to go down Uie list with his customer. But,, out of 25 expensive items she has insisted on, 23 of them, she invariably says, "I can't live without." That, he insists is the crux of the situation. Women cannot live without beautiful things, even when they can't afford them. What s the solution? "Magazines and TV programs di rected to women, showing alluring things, should give a gentle hint that they cost money. A woman will read Vogue or Glamour and admire a Dior dress, realizing she can never afford to own one, buy ing a fashion copy, perhaps. But when it comes to housing, she thinks the high style magazines are showing homes a notch below what she should have, bo she even improves on Ihem."
