Silence is Golden Department REP. USHER BURDICK of N’orth Dakota urges that congressmen be paid on the basis of .he less they say the bigger the jalary. Well, that’s one way of yetting a Congress full of strong, jilent men. i t • Representative Burdick, of :(ntrse, favors important matters yciiif/ aired in Congress—but not \ot-aircd. » i j If Burdick's plan were adopted i typical congressional speech night sound like a 10-word tele)ram. * f I Georgi Malenkov's new job, lays F. E. F. is even more elec-

trifying than was his announcement of resignation as Russian premier. Georgi has just been named minister for electric power stations. ! ! ! In view of Malenkov’s admission of incompetence one can hardly expect that on his new job he'll prove a live-wire. ! t t A boy who won a county pie baking contest has been barred from the Michigan state pastry tournament. Such crust! ' ' ! Just released statistics show that U. S. citizens have saved a total of $231 billion, a record. Looks like the American people are taking a mighty keen interest in interest.

• This quartet was kept busy in many a kitchen before modern homemakers switched to no flame, no fume electric ranges. Now kitchen curtains, walls, cabinets, and other woodwork stay sparkling clean longer . ; . meaning less work for busy homemakers! Remember, too, electric ranges are faster . ; ; safer! And they provide the most perfect cooking and baking possible. In fact, they are so foolproof you can set the dials and leave the kitchen ’til you’re ready to serve. Still cooking the old-fashioned way? See your appliance dealer and get details on his electric range easy-payment plan, plus PSCI’s low-cost installation!
