(The Western press also welcomed Khrushchev’s stand. “Moderate and hopeful,” London’s ' Daily Mail said.

o o | Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee 0 - p Flower Frog If you need a “frog” in which to ancor flower stems for your table’s centerpiece, half a lemon or orange rind is very handy. Squeeze the juice out first, of course, then punch holes in the rind with an ice pick, set it in the bowl flat side down, and stick the stems through the holes. The rind will hold the flowers, securely and, when they finally get limp, you can throw the whole business away without having any metal gadgets to clean. Petty far Cash You can keep a supply of coins readily available in your car for such uses as parking meters, bridge tolls, and ■ small .curb pui* chases, if you'll cement a slottedplastic coin holder to the inside of the glove compartment door. You can purchase such a coin holder at a variety store, or remove one from a ’discarded coin purse of wallet. Renovated Sheets Bed sheets usually wear out in the middle. Before too much wear takes place, cut the sheet in half lengthwise, sew the two former selvage edges together, and run a hem around the new rough edges.

Goldwater To Reveal 1964 Plans Friday WASHINGTON (UPD — Sen Barry M. Goldwater meets with Arizona Republican leaders at his Phoenix home Friday to announce whether he'"'will seek the GOP presidential nomination in 1964. The Arizona senator, who celeb rat e s his 55th birthday Wednesday, will make known to his state’s GOP chiefs whether he will run for the Republican presidential nomination or drop out of the race and seek re-election to the Senate in 1964. Goldwater was a strong frontrunner for the Republican nomination in the public opinion polls before President Kennedy’s assassination, but since that time has slipped somewhat. Whether the slippage was enough to discourage him remained to be seen. Resting At Home The senator has been recuperating at his home from minor surgery for a bone spur on his right heel. Along with other Republicans, Goldwater had observed a moratorium on politics during the 30-day period of national mourning for Kennedy. That period 'ended a week ago Sunday. Goldwater signaled his plan to make known his prdsSerHial answer in a telegram to a “representative group of friends and supporters throughout the country” . .. - As of now, the only announced GOP presidential hopeful is New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller. Despite intensive drum-beat-ing # on his behalf by various “draft Goldwater” volunteer groups, the - senator has played his politics like his principles—conservatively. He has refused to commit himself one way or the other on a presidential bid. T” Announce Intention The most he would promise supporters was that he would announce his intentions early in January. Some observers believe Goldwater tipped off his presidential hopes when he attacked President Johnson last week for the Chief Executive’s insistence on congressional foreign aid bill action this year. They theorized that this meant he had decided Johnson would not be too formidable an opponent in ’64. Others took an opposite view, citing Johnson’s Southern and Western background. Goldwater adherents had pushed their man as the candidate who could pry the not-so-solid South from the Democratic column, but Kennedy’s death changed all this, they said.

Tide Os Industrial Expansion Foreseen INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Most of the thousands- of jobs lost iij. the closing of the Studebaker Corp, auto production facilities at South Bend will be replaced next year through “a tide of industrial expansion” in Indiana, Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine said today. Ristine issued a year ’ - end statement on business prospects tor 1964. He pointed to the Studebaker closing as “a major blow to North Central Indiana” and “especially tragic because it so directly affected individual, family and community life.” “My experience in industrial development work tells me it’s unwise to take predictions and unthinkable to make promises,” Ristine said. “But still I am convinced that most jobs lost at Studebaker will be replaced during 1964. This I say because there is running in America a tide of industrial expansion. This tide will be especially strong in Indiana.” Ristine said the Indiana Department of Commerce and Industry which he heads has in the last three years played a part ir. the creation of 38,000 new jobs. “I see no reason why We cannot continue to add new and better jobs to the Hoosier economy in 1964,” he said. • Ristine said one of the most “imposing predictions of continued business expansion” was a Fortune magazine survey of 1,000 top-level American businessmen which showed Indiana '’was the “most preferred” site ot all the states- for industrial growth. “Econofnists at Indiana University are optimistic about 1964 for Indiana,” he said. “A distinguished private group of economic experts has forecast a five per cent increase in retail sales during 1964. And all authorities are agreed that Indiana’s '"''diversified economy is ideally suited to take advantage of what appears to be a neW period of business growth.” o ”7 Q Modern Etiquette | By Roberta Lee I 0 „ 0 Q.

Rise In County In Consumer Buying

NEW YORK — How much was eared and how much was spent in Adams county in the last fiscal year? How good a year was it for local business in general? The first detailed figures to be released, covering the period, show that solid progress was made. With incomes on the rise in most families, there was more spending money available after taxes, rent and other necessary expenditures. Retail business in the county was good, as a result. The findings are contained in a survey, based on data gathered from federal, state and local sources, which has just been issued by the Standard Rate and Data Service. It gives comparable figures for each section of the country .for the 12-month period ending June 30, 1963. It shows that residents of Adams county,* taken as a whole, had more purchasing power than in the previous year. Net Income Up Their net income, after payment of personal taxes, added up to $47,109,000, as against the for-i mer total of $44,106,000. The increase, 6.8 per cent, compares with a 6.2 per cent rise in the United States and 4.2 per cent in the east north central states. In terms of the individual family unit locally,- the net income figured out to $6,711 per household, determined by dividing the overall income by the number of households. It Was $6,256 in fiscal 1962. A whole, battery of factors contributed to the nation’s business strength in the year. The boom is autos, the big harvests, heavier spend ing by government - and 'large capital expenditures by industry were some of them. Most areas of the country shared in the economic growth, some to a much greater extent than others. & Better Than Average Here In Adams county, because of the better conditions that prevailed, consumers spent freely for goods and services. Local retail stores, as a consequence, recorded ales totaling $28,018,000, compared with the prior year’s $26,880,000.

The indicators point to another year of good business ahead, with the consumer .con-

They see the gross national product rising to about $625 billion from the present $585 billion level. Says Toll Road No Longer Gravy Train INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Governor Welsh said today that when he took office in 1961, “the Indiana toll road was a gravy train” but that it now is under “a business-like management without political interference.” The statement by .Welsh on the past and future of Indiana's only toll route pointed .out that $4 million in bonds were retired in 1963, bringing the total to $12.8 million retired during the Welsh administration. f—v The road opened for business in 1956 and was built with a bond issue of $267 million. “A savings of no less than $1,231 per day in interest charges has been effected through redemption of bonds since September, 1961,” Welsh said. The governor said the interest rates during this past year still averaged about $25,910 a day despite the reduction. “When we took office in 1961, the road was a gravy train designed to benefit its employes rather than its users and bondholders,” Welsh charged. “The fact we have been able to retire these bonds and substantially reduce ments reflects the healthy rinan .cial condition of our toll road arid sound business-like way in which it is being operated,” he said. Welsh said the entire interstate route of which the Indiana road is a part is “the main street of the Midwest” and that Indiana should do more to capitalize on this location. “Another dramatie forward step in the industrial expansion of Northern Indiana will come when the new Burns Harbor Interchange is open to traf-. fie,” the governor said.
