MOTHERS ENTERTAIN DAUGHTERS AT DINNER The mothers of the Happy Homemaker's club entertained their daughters with a pot luck dinner at the home of Mrs. Floyd Mitchel Tuesday evening. After the dinner had been completed, the president, Mrs. Earl Harmon, opened the club meeting by having the group repeat the club creed. For devotions, Mrs. Clarence Mitchel read "A Little Parable for Mothers,” after which Mrs. Floyd Mitchel offered prayer. Roll call was then taken by having the members explain why they like their club. Everyone seemed to agree that it was because of the association of friends and neighbors and because the club teaches its members to be better homemakers.

NATION (Continued from Page one) De Gaulle thinks of France in terms of power and grandeur and might be tempted to negotiate directly with Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev in belief he would be the savior of peace. The steadily worsening French political and military c r isi s—brought to a climax by De Gaulle’s statement he was ready to return — had one immediate effect. It brought some semblance of unity to several of the nation’s quarrelling middle-of-the-road political parties whose failure to agree in the past has caused one government after the other to fallSocialists Enter Government The Socialists entered the government with former Premier Guy Mollet taking the post of vice premier. But still the rightist, Independent (Conservative) Party refused to let the nearness of disaster change its position. The party refused.. to let former Premier Antoine Pinay, its chief, join the government because all its demands had not been met. The Socialists, by joining the government, were expected to reject any Communist pleas for a “United Front.” But the Socialists, the Communists and France’s three biggest labor unions sent urgent appeals to workers for unity to combat the De Gaulle threat. There was fear of widescale rioting and general strikes. More than 16,000 additional police, Republican Security Guards and Mobile Guards equipped with radio trucks and armored cars massed in the capital to reinforce the regular 20,000-man Paris police force. National Assembly President Andre le Troquer ordered police and army protection for the Assembly building itself for the duration of the trouble. An armored regiment was helci alerted at Satory, just southwest of Paris De Gaulle himself waited for ■he government’s next move, protected by hordes of gendarmes, in the unpretentious isolation of his stone country house in the 1 village (Pop. 361) of Colombey--1 les-deux-Eglises in eastern 1 France. 1 A takeover by legal means did not seem possible . President Rene Coty would have no authority to name De Gaulle to head the government. The Gaullist Tarty & a tiny minority in. Parliament. The only way seemed by ■ coup d’etat, revolution and civil 1 war. For 12 years De Gaulle has . advocated authoritarian rule. 3 ■ - ■■ — - • Calm Horses ITHACA, N. Y. — (ffl — Dr. Samuel F.
