By BILL JENKINS Everywhere one soes these last few days you hear comments on the weather how wonderful it has heen. ; This remark is usually, if you are talking to an old-timer, fol lowed by a grisly warning thai "this is jusl like it was in 1936" or 1937, there seems to be a good deal of argument as to which year it was when we got the big winter. Nice up until alter Christmas and then wham I" Well. I'll stick my neck out and say that it won't be anywhere near as bad as thai famous win ter. I remember it, too. The snow came and with it came the cold. The streets were piled so high wilh snow that you couldn't see across .Main. From plowing, of course. '. I'll go even further. If Jimmy Barnes reads this and remembers Hie bet that we used to have a few years ago I'll offer to bet again. ; I'll bet him a lilth of cheer or a new hat, whichever way he wants to go, that we don't have ten inches of snow on the level at any time between now and spring at any given point we agree on. - How about it, Jim? I'll go even further about these gloomy predictions that are be ing made. I checked in the weath er book and the year of 1056 was the same as this year. No snow to speak of early and no bad weather. According lo my record I went out and weeded the front lawn on December 23. It was a lovely day with a high reading of 42 and a low of 24. That year wc didn't get any snow to amount lo anything until the 19lh of January. It started to snow around midaftcrnoon, it was a Saturday, and by Sunday morn ing had piled up about 10 inches In my driveway. " We had an early spring, too. 1 think this country is turning into a banana belt. I can see the day when we'll be tearing up spud fields to plant oranges. If you don't think so ask any duck hunt er. Where at arc the winds and snows and cold of lormer days? I; ask you. The scientific Johnnies have been telling us lor years that the at mosphere was changing, that the Japanese current was snuggling in closer lo the coast, that sun spots were changing the climalc and all that, but no one believed 'em. !Now it is all coming true. ;Or perhaps the atom bomb had something In do wilh it. ; Anyway, I'm saying it will con tinue to be an open winter and challenging Jim Barnes to confest that opinion if he wauls lo.

I OMi A I fill IS By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News An.ilvsl WAMIIM.ION AP-A highly cTilical Democratic Adusory Count il ol which lormer Pres ident Harry S. Truman and Adl, Steenson are members blasts President Eisenhowers conduct of loreign all.ur-. hut oilers no hnsic change ol its own That sums up the lon statement Issued Sunday night by Ihe coun cil on American goals al home and abroad. It was a lot more ex plicit about domestic targets than foreign ones. . The council did Miggi-st ihe Democrats, since they're running Congress, could produce a foreign policy they like if Eisenhower fails to please them. The council said: Congress "has its own constitu tional tasks both in devising pol icy and in wisely exercising the power to grant legal authority lor its execution, along with the nec essary manpower, material and funds." But the council is caught in a dc ble irony: The Democrats, who'll run Con gress these next two years, have been running it the past four. In that time they did not, as a parly, produce any foreign policy basi cally different from Eisenhower's They'd be in an embarrassing position if they did. The basic policy followed rigidly by Eisenhower since he took of fice in 1953 containment of Soviet and Chinese Communists by ringing them with . military bases and alliances was the one laid down and followed by Truman be fore him. The council even seemed to say but not in so many words that it approves the containment policy and wants no change in that. It said: "We are wholly de termined that our country shall carry out solemn commitments lo which it is a party." The only place where the coun cil got specilic on foreign policy was in the field of foreign aid It wants that stepped up. But on Ihe basic policy since over the years neither party has Ihought of something new or dif ferent there's no reason to ex pect any change in the next two years. For instance: Last Week Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles made it clear American policy to wards Bed China a policy ini tiated by Truman will remain rigidly unchanged for Eisenhow er's last two years in office. The policy toward the Red Chi nese in addition to American military alliances around them is nonrecognition. This country under both Demo crats and Republicans has rclused to recognize the Chinese Commu nists as the lawful rulers of main land China, has no formally off! cial dealings wilh lliem, and is against United Nations member ship for lliem. Dulles and he seemed lo be projecting his thought into the in definite future said that to rec ognize Ihe Chinese Reds and wel come them into the family of na tions would be to pave the road to American disaster. This way: The prestige thus given the Communists would in crease (heir influence in Asia where they are bent on eliminat ing American trade and driving the United Stales out of the west ern Pacific. Since Ihe Soviet and lied Chi nese basic foreign policy is also rigid push and take over where they can, always with the thought of undermining and surrounding Ihe West no real change on eilher side is likely, al least soon. H:ltUU livhl By HAL COOPER LONDON i APi A group of pub lic spirited Britons have launched an all-out campaign lo persuade people Ihal oryctolacus cuniculus is nothing but a common bum. Organized as the Rabbit Advi sory Council, they hope to estab lish in the minds ol all that rab bits are evil, dirty, cowardly, and thieving, showing little or no re straint in matters of procreation. The council proposes to intro duce this theme into British school lessons and story books. Their ul timate objective is the total ex termination ol oryctolagus as a costly pest. As might be expected among a people brought up (or generations on child literature of Ihe Peler liahhit variety, the council is SHORT RIBS W iSe. meeting with outraged resistance. Five years ago the rabbit plague myxomatosis, believed to have arrived in England accidentally from France, slaughtered the lit tle animals by Ihe million. Farmers, estimating their crop losses lo rabbit voracity as high as 84 million dollars a year, were encouraged lo believe that the British rabbit would become ex tinct. On the other hand, hat makers, who rely on rabbit fur to make felt, were far from happy. Butch ers, who sell rabbits for food, suf fered a loss of prolits. The hopes of the . farmers and Ihe fears of the hatters failed, it developed, to take into account the rabbit's hardihood and breeding ability. A strain of rabbit devel oped which was immune lo my xomatosis. These immune rabbits proceeded to breed like rabbits. 1 In many parts of England fields once again arc jumping with the little devils. This led lo the for mation of the Rabbit Advisory Council, and its members' ears are burning. Some typical letters to the newspapers say: ''1 have had a toy rabbit since I was eight months old, and no criticism would make me hate it. I don't think mean, evil, or horrid are correct descriptions." "Let us leave children their few remaining happinesses. May they long ' cuddle rabbits rather than toy guns." "The rabbit is not mean, evil, loathsome, or a thief, or dirty. He is perfectly clean, full of courage, and intelligent."- It looks as though Ihe council is in for a long, tough haul. Profit Sharing By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (ill Getting more goods for less work has long been an American goal. It is increas ingly pressing in today's mounting costs and rising prices. Many manufacturers and service firms try for it by upgrading their plant and machinery, by getting a mechanism lo do what used lo take elbow grease. Many Iry for it by enlisting em ploye enthusiasm through letting them share in the profits. Theo retically at least, the more Ihe workers produce, the greater the profits to share alter the goods are sold and the books balanced. The Council of Profit Sharing In dustries estimates that 20.000 em ployers have some such program affecting perhaps two million workers. Many firms try for increased productivity by tying the wage it self directly to increases in output per man hour of labor. Increase your productivity above what is determined lo be the norm and your take home pay goes up ac cordingly. How effective have these wage incentive plans been in increasing productivity, in cutting unit labor costs for industry, in increasing the earnings for employes? lo lind out, a study was made of 2.500 such wage incentive plans in 29 diflerent industries as set up by 17 management consulting lirms, three fourths of them since 1948. Just completed by the George Elliott Company, New York con sulting firm, reports productivity rose by anywhere from 39 lo loo per cent, with an average of 63.55 per cent. Companies using these plans cut unit labor costs by anywhere from nine lo 59 per cent Tor an average saving of 25.91 per cent. Workers under Ihe plans found take home pay higher by any where Irom nine to 39 per cent lor an average of 20.6 per cent. Wage incentive plans were set up by the consultants in thus fash ion: Base work measurements through time studies or predeter mined time systems set perform By Frank O'Neal V StiACf J.v? WAdCMT NI 1 SCTND .-CFn AT A NWtMi Pi SATE f (7)' (2) ance standards considered accept able by managements and the un ions for employes to be able to earn Iheir base rate of pay. Then incentive bonuses were offered for extra productivity above the de termined standard performance. Some standards were updated Irom time to time to take into account changes in methods, equip ment or products. The survey reveals the dollar and cents value to the firms adopt ing them: lor every one per cent increase in wages earned by the worker, the companies on aver age increased productivity by 3.1 per cent and cut unit costs 1.25 per cent. Increases varied widely among industries. Railroad employes involved in such plans had the best earnings increase, 39 per cent; followed by chemical workers, 34.46 per cent; transport equipment workers oth er than aulos, 31.71 per cent; services allied lo transportation, 31.5 per cent; and slone, clay and glass products, 31.22 per cent. Tobacco workers had the small est increase, nine per cent, although the tobacco industry led all the rest with a 100 per cent increase in productivity, while autos and auto equipment had the lowest productivity gain, 39 per cent. The railroads had the best luck in cutting unit costs, 59 per cent. Tobacco was second in cost cut ling benefits, 49 per cent; followed hy state and local government en terprises, 39 per cent: metal roll ing and extruding, 39 per cent and I ihe stone, clay, and glass group, 37.89 per cent. Medical Mpiimin By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. Written for NEA Service Although 1 try to express things clearly, occasionally a remark in this column is misunderstood. Q. You slated that it was fre quently possible to aid the passage of kidney stones by oiling. Would a teaspoon of olive oil taken twice a day help'.' Mrs. S. G. A It would not help at all. When I mentioned oiling, I was referring to the rather difficult technique of passing an instru ment through the urinary passage ways until it came near the stone, and then injecting some oil through this instrument. Q The joint below one of my big toes is becoming enlarged. Could this be a bunion? Since it is in Ihe early stages, would mas saging reduce it to normal? Mrs. L. A This could indeed be a bun ion, but massaging would not be likely lo help. If this is in the early stages, as you say, careful attention to shoeing and avoiding irritation of the area might help you to avoid an operation later. Q I should appreciate advice about the effect on the liver of drinking beer, cocktails and high balls by a person who has had hepatitis Mrs. P. A Long-conlinued consumption of alcoholic beverages may lead to enlargement or other difficul ties with the liver, regardless of whether a person has had infec tious hepatitis in the past. Alcoholic beverages are poorly tolerated indeed during the acute stages of infectious hepatitis. After Hie acute disease is over, alcoholic drinks presumably would have no different effect on the liver than they would in any case. However, it must be confessed that there is an element of" uncer tainty here, because no one really knows whether the virus causing hepatitis entirely disappears or just becomes inactive. Q Is It possible for a person to be allergic to jewelry? I can't wear a watch or wedding ring. When I put them on my arm and lingers break out in an itchy rash. If I continue to wear them the rash covers the inside of my arm, my wrist and my elbow. It clears up when I take them off. Mrs. J. A It sounds lo me as though you have pretty well proved the connection between the wearing ol jewelry and Ihe rash. Perhaps It is correct to call this an allergy. If a Jeweler can tell you what substances the watch and ring are made of, then it might be pos sible to find Ihe particular pari responsible by skin testing. I am uncertain as to whether these can he coated or otherwise treated so that yon can wear them, but per haps it is worth investigating. lliol's United Press International RERUN - Willy Brandt, anti- Communist mayor of West Berlin, on his reelection: , "Wc stand by our pre-election promise that we would not misuse our power.

Electric heat means not only control of tempera ture, but of humidity, air pollution, and fresh air circulation as well. Electric heat is flexible. Different types of electric heating equipment are manufactured for different rooms. Your electric heating system should be bought room-by-room for maximum flexibility and control. Each room can (and should) have Its individual thermostat. Most people realize that electric heat is the cfeonesf heat. It il o scientific fact that the bacteria count drops In most electrically heated homes. Drafts and cold corners are eliminated. Clean, fresh, dry air circulates properly. Messy flame by-products do not exist. Finally, electric heating equipment, properly chosen and properly installed t n well insulated homes, provides economical heat. The original equipment cost is lower than most other types. Maintenance, repair, ond eleoning costs are eliminated. In 1957, the overage cost to the 15,1 16 COPCO customers using electric heat was $11 1.00.. .some paid more, some less, but this was the average cost for a full yearl If you would like to know more about modern electric heat how it might fit into your home or the home you plan to build -call the Home Service Department at COPCO.
