The Briar Patch

If the press is as wrong about the Russian and the European situations as they were about the election, wouldn't it be fine? The trouble is, this time they might be right!

After visiting the Dream House, one sadly concedes the day is gone when the basement meant potatoes, apples,' pumpkins, canned fruit and vegetables, boxes of bulbs for next year's flowers even the washer has moved upstairs! Even if it is a $3500 kitchen, mother seems to be expected to spend most of her time there anyhow the key of the intercommunication system is there. We weren't much interested in that gadget so long as our voice holds up to its present level of being able to call anyone in from the back forty we don't really need one of those. Dad is taking no chances he has provided a quick get-away outlet from his den, either front or back! '. There are some homely expressions that will last as long as human nature remains where it is now: "he went back for some of the hair of the dog that bit him," "swallow a camel and choke on the tail," "white as the driven snow," "running like his tail was afire." Terse and trite, but plan and pithy.

FORBES CORNER

Investigating The Investigator - One of "the more notorious investigators in the United States has been investigated, and .the .result has been a Federal grand jury indictment. 1 It is none other than J. Parnell Thomas, the .Republican from New Jersey. Mr. .Thomas investigated everything from Communists in Hollywood on down the list. Much of his investigation, like the affair of Miss Elizabeth Bentley, turned out to be for political purposes only, but even those shenanigans failed to influence tiie voter against .the Democrats as Mr. Thomas and his House un-American affairs committee hoped it'would. . .' ... . Besides the Bentley affair, which blew up in hu face when Alger Hiss and Whitaker Chambers got caught in a cross-fire of denials and accusations, there was the well-publicised probe of Communist writers in Hollywood. " " There is a curious. comparison to be gained from the two -the writers in the Hollywood probe and the grand jury that investigated Mr. Thomas.

t You may remember that when the committee asked one.; of the writei. if he was a Communist and the writer refused ; ' to say yes or no, the committee and Mr. Thomas promptly-; derpoo were in Jasonville Wed. cjted the man for contempt of Congress. Yet, when the grand j nesday night

jury asked Mr. Thomas to testily, trie New Jersey Kepuoncan refused on the grounds that he might incriminate himself. - So, justice in Mr, Thomas' un-American activities committee and in a Federal grand jury hearing become two different things. Mr. Thomas, on one hand, said it was contempt for a man to incriminate himself. 'But Mr. Thomas refuse?! to do it before a grand jury. -' Kickbacks are the cause of Mr. Thomas' trouble. A kickback is paying an employee a certain salarv, with the nnderstandiner that the boss will receive part of it. The grand ury.,has said that Mr. Thomas put persons on the governirnent payroll who did no work whatsoever, and that these persons kickbacked' their entire salary to Mr. Thomas, the investigator. Of course Mr. Thomas has an, answer for it all. He said fhat it was nothing but a smear campaign to keep him from being re-ejected, to the House.. However! even though he whs elected, he might find that .his kickback practices will force the House to declare his seat empty. i It all looks like retribution. After all, Mr. Thomas investigated a lot of innocent persons. Manv of them suffered loss of reputation and business. To see Mr. Thomas caught in a similar net is giving a lot of peopel a good hearty chuckle.

. All hou.seplants should have a good syringing with a strong stream of water frequently. It washes away the dust which collects on the leaves and also takes'care of many of the pssts whch plague them. A toothpick sab of rubbing alcohol will finish any scale so hardy that it has survived the water cure. . . . Geraniums do best when waterbound. . . . Begonias should be pinched back to keep them from becoming stringy. . . . This is the time to fertilize the poinsetiiasr they need all the light they can get from now on. '. . . 6 If any little word of mine Can make a life the brighter; If any little song of mine' Can make a heart the lighterGod help me speak the little word And take my bit of singing And drop it in some lonely vale : - To set the echoes ringing.

IT NOW TAKES THREE YE

TO BUILD MORE ELECTRIC PLANT CAPACITY-

O Back in 1940, your electric company began an exceptionally large electric plant expansion program which is now scheduled for completion in 1951. It was started because Public Service Company's experienced business management foresaw that war would greatly step up Indiana's industrial and domestic use of electricity. In the meantime the demand for power has increased steadily. Our state attracted a great number of war production plants needing large quantities of electricity. And since the war, the power needed for Indiana's peacetime production is actually exceeding wartime demand. Today, our industries are using more than twice as much power as before the war, and more than 57,000 new electric customers have been added to our lines; ' To meet this continuing increase in your power needs; Public Service has never stopped the expansion program it started in 1940. By 1951,. the Company's 11-year plant expansion program will have cost $115,000,000 and will have more than trebled its 1940 capacity.
