The Illinois primary election, which revealed that as many Democratic votes were cast in that state as were Republicans should tend to make the President's golf game a little shaky this week. .2 __ 0 -9—— v ift ; The youth of today who thrills at pushing the speed.pedgl to the floor of his high powered automobile is the grandson of the fellow who forty years ago had a run-away with his horse and carriage every Sunday. o- 0The American Cancer society and it? related state and county organizations, has a two-fold program.

Because, at times it is dificult to induce workmen to make long trips into the country to make repair jobs, the fad is becoming quite popular. -» —o—o—- ' ■■■- ■>' -There is strong local sentiment prevalent for a good summer program for young people at the Youth and Community Center.

If the friends of a teen-age girl are permitted to stay out late, should her parents insist upon her being home early? A. This depends upon circumstances. It would be unfair *to make your daughter the exception for very special occasions, such as her school dance. But at other times, it is up to the parents to set the deadline they Think wisest. Q. Where should our dining room chairs be placed when not in use—at the table or elsewhere in the room? A. This depends upon space and convenience. One chair against reach side of the table is the usual practice. Q. Is it obligatory for a bride to entertain those fttajids who have given her wedding gifts? A. While not exactly obligatory, most brides would wish to entertain their good friends. 9— ; 4> Household Scrapbook I BY ROBERTA LEE 0— (• Soiled Book Covers A hard eraser, pumice stone, or soap and water all prove effective in the cleaning of soiled book covers. A wash which also gives good results is two parts of vinegar and one part of water, applied with a clean cloth. Rub briskly until the dirt is removed, and then place the book upright to dry. This should not be used on leather. Quick Ironing , Sometimes one wishes to iron a rough dry garment in a hurry. A good idea then is to dampen the garment lightly with hot water, roll it tightly in a doth and place it on a hot radiator for a few mihutes. Fur Rugs Saturate fur rugs that have moths or moth larvae with turpentine. The fur will be ruined unless some action is taken. 1 ' ■ ■" —■ —, Court Rews Set for Trial The claims by Icel Shanks and Jenevieve Quesinberry against the estate of Mary Runyon have been set for trial May 2 on motion of the defendant.

Suggests Change In Spacing Os Vaccine Delay Timetable To Help More Children NEW YORK (INS) —The medical director of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis urged today a temporary change in the spacing of Salk vaccine injections as a step “to protect as many children as possible from polio this summer.” Dr. Hart E. Van Reiper suggested that the timetable of three injections be delayed to make possible “starting injections” for more children. The foundation’s medical director made his recommendations in a letter published in the April 14 issue of the Journal of the American medical association. He recommended to doctors that they: 1. iGive no booster shots (third injections) between now and July 1 2. Use all available vaccine immediately. 3. Depend on increasing supply of vaccine for second injections. This means giving first doses to all persons in the priority groups who ask tor them, rather than withholding vaccine tor the purpose ot giving second shots. “The exact interval between the first and second shots is not critiWl so long as it is not less than two weeks,” Dr. Van Riper explained. “In fact, longer intervals seem to be advantageous,” he added. "Therefore, the second dose may be givqn at any time without losing the benefit of the first.” The third booster shot should not be given until at least seven months have elapsed after the second injection, but H may be given any length of time thereafter, Dr. Van Riper eaid. The National Foundation’s recommendations for the 1956 emergency dosage schedule conform with those issued by the surgeon general of the U. S. public health i service on March 13, 1956.

Kefauver Children Seldom See Father Senator Has Little . Time For Home Life WASHINGTON (INS) — * It’s tough to be the family of a presidential contender. If you doubt it, ask tltian-haired Nancy Kefauver and her politics-hating brood of youngsters. The four Kefauver children, who adore papa Estes with or without his coonskin cap, average a glimpse of their hero about once every ten days — if they’re lucky. This week was a good example. Flying down from New Jersey one morning for some crucial senate voting, Sen. Kefauver went directly to the capitol, but between speeches managed to call his youngsters and promise to tuck them into bed. Then the senate remained in night session to pass the controversial farm bill which may invite residential veto. By the time the whary vote-wooer arrived at his home, the children were fast asleep. Sighed Nancy: “Estes tried to kobp his promise. He awakened and kissed them before a midnight plane’ for Florida, but the kids were so sleepy that the next morning they had no recollection of having seen him.” Not until April 22 will the children have another glimpse of their fast-running papa. Then, two days later he leaves for whirlwind visits to Poughkeepsie, Pittsburgh, Spokane and Seattle; six days of hard campaigning in Florida, and ten more of the same in Indiana, North Dakota and California. “Twenty-two long days without daddy!" the youngsters moan. And it may be longer than that, according to Kefauver campaign headquarters. The two days that the Democratic candidate has scheduled for home stop around the middle of May are always subject to cancellation, if a handshaking tour of a dozen obscure hamlets seeih suddenly strategic. A bit wistfully, Nancy confided: “It’s really awfully hard on the children. When they know he’s coming home, they crayon big “welcome" signs —- and then scarcely sj®. him. Usually he’s at the Capitol all day, and even If we’re lucky enough to have him on a Sunday, the house is full of secretaries and political callers all day. The youngsters just grab him when they can—between visitors.” Nancy, who campaigned almost as strenuously as her husband four years ago, has firmly put her foot down for 1956. The children, she insists, need her at home. Linda, 14. is in junior high school; Diane. 8. Gail, 5, and adopted son David, 10, are all at Horace Mann public school with the children of Vice President Nixon. H ; —— _ Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
