And Now, Spring

For some Spring is the most welcome season of the year. It ushers in the warmer sunhine and the longer days and the flowers and new life of another year. It begins always on the 21st, or within forty-eight hours of it, when the sun shines exactly half the twenty-four hour day. This is know as the Spring Equinox. It means the Summer Solstice is only three months away. That is the longest day of the year, and that day until December 21st, the days will get shorter. Some people wonder why June, the month of the longest sunshine is not the hottest month, and why December, with the stortest days, is not the clodest month. The answer is that the earth stores and holds the sun’s heat to a degree. Therefore, in the first days of Spring, when the sun is shining on the earth more than twelve hours, there is still much cold remaining in the earth from the short, cold winter days.

The First Lady

By for, the majority of writers and observers seem to feel that Jacqueline Kennedy has made this country a charming First Lady. Many of the political observer? feel that she is a great attribute to the President and feel that most Americans are proud that she represents them as their First Lady. Just recently, however, there has been some speculation as, to whether the First Lady should perform the Twist in the White House. There are reliable reports that the President and the First Lady gave a dance and before the dance ended the First Lady had done the twist with

staffer who covers the White House, address members of the Hoosier State Press Associa-Y tion. When the President has had enough, at a sign al, Merriman Smith concludesl the press confer-| ences with the| words “thank| you, Mr. Presi-

ident.” This is the title of ohe of four books he has written about White House coverage. Among his famed stories are the coverage of the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt at Warm Springs and the prolonged heart attack suffered by President Eisenhower. ' Some large marble columns were interposed between my listening post and Smith and, there was noise in the dining room of the Marott hotel. If there are errors in this reporting they are mine, but I will try to pass on the gist of what he said. There is the matter of a Summit Conference 1 . Khrushchev wants it, for Summits are a sounding board for his propaganda. The British want a Summit, especially when it will occur about the time Mac Millan is up for re-election. It would prove a feather in his DeGaulle of France wants none of the Summit conferences. He has his own “summit” in Algeria. IT IS A DAMNED IF YOU DO OR DO NOT ATTEND Eisenhower and Kennedy both said they would have no Summit Conference with Khrushchev until some basis of agreement was worked out at the ministerial lev-

They both faced the fact that after you have gone so far in doing business with the Russians, it is stalemate unless you talk to Khrushchev. It is a matter of damned if you do or damned if you do not And a President carrying responsibility for peace of 180 million Americans in the end will not turn down the Summit. We have many small nations emerging from colonialism who are afraid of the Soviet and need spanking for what they do. We must brace ourselves for an enormous Soviet avalanche of antiU. S. feeling around the world when we resume nuclear testing. But our game of survival is not a popularity game. We must remain calm and not get so all-fir-ed excited everytime that Khrush-' chev rattles his rockets. We must learn to maintain a balance of power that is not a shooting war. Merriman very deftly devoted three-fourths of his talk to lampooning the two major political parties.. He told the story of the Presidential Yacht. Truman had one. Eisenhower said a yacht was a waste of. taxpayer’s money and fitted up a boat originally, the Lenore. The Republicans even went

Likewise, in December, the month of the Winter Solstice, the earth still retains much heat, built up in warmer preceding months, and January and February are usually colder. Spring seems to be, as much as anything, a time of hope. It was the time of the Resurrection. It is the time for new life by the plants and flowers and trees. It is the time students and scholars get the “fever,” and long to get into the Outdoors again. To those who weary of winter Spring is a joyful word. To baseball fans, fisherman, athletes, students and many others it is something special. Perhaps the overenthustiastic gardener in the human breast.” Spring ignites in him a frenzy. It infects us all, nature’s big show. And after this winter, who is not ready for the soft summer skies — which are not far behind ?

Defense Secretary McNamara. One can imagine, around the country, some eye brows going up when they read that the dignity and grace of the. White House was subjected to the new dance called the twist. The twist, however, is just another form of dance. Few of us would object if the President’s wife had waltzed or participated in another dance of similar nature. As long as the President’s wife, the President and his guests dance in such a manner as to show good taste, it would seem of little significance what dance the participants performed.

so far as to contact England where it was built, for papers to prove it was a boat, not a yacht. Ike sailed in it for Newport, the lush eastern watering place. The GOP insisted he was taking his family to a humble cottage on the working man’s beach. POLITICS THE SAME ONLY THE LABEL IS DIFFERENT Kennedy has refurbished the Old Lenora boat and insists it is a yacht, as does the Democratic command. Kennedy goes to Newport too, renting a summer cottage until he can get money to buy One. Its parking lot is bigger than that of the hptel and the Mariott hotel could be put in the dining room. Kennedy goes to Palm Beach where, they use a Brink’s armored car to take the children to school so that bandits will not rob them of luncheon money. Republicans cry to high heaven when Jacqueline Kennedy and her sister save their irioney to go to India and Pakiston, to feed the elephants and shop for antiques in London. The Republicans object to a secret service man’s expense and the cost of a documentary film in showing the good will

GOOD CATCH-WRONG MATCH

Dear Amy: I was chosen to write to you. Four women and myself belong to a rfub that meets once a week. Last week at the meeting, the girls were talking about your column. One of them said that you are single and that she knows your brother. Well ... we have a terrific man that would like to meet you. He’s handsome, a college graduateiand has a wonderful personality. Please let us know how you feel about this. We hope that you don’t think we’re too forward, but we mean well! The Match Makers Dear Match Makers: > I’m flattered at your offer, but you’re eighteen years too late. I’m not only matched, but I’ve batched! P.S. Incidentally, I don’t have a brother. • * * Dear Amy: t My wife and I were divorced 6 years ago but I still hold her in great admiration. She has married again and I still send her cards for special occasions: Birthday, Christmas, and. our Anniversary. My friends say that it isn’t proper. I want to know whether you think it’s right or not. Henry Dear Henry: Frankly I think this depends on the circumstances. If there is any possible doubt in you# mind that these cards are causing your former wife any uncomfortable moments, I do think you should stop sending them. A card on your anniversary seems to me to be uncalled for at this point. * • • Dear Amy: My husband and I are on Social Security. We are having a hard time finding an apartment within our means. Wherever I go, rents are so high. I really can’t find a decent place to live. Where are older people supposed to live? Is there anything you can suggest? High Rents Dear High Rents: I don’t know if it’s any consolation to you, but your problem is a national one. At the present time, our legislature is trying to work out a plan to assist the senior citizens of our country in securing low rental housing. In the meantime, I suggest you write your

of her visit. Yet, the Republicans were strangely silerit when Mamie Eisenhower used a U. S. manned plane to go to an Arizona beauty shop. Overall, lampooning by Smith left an impression with me that the actors change but the play goes on. The only difference between the two political parties is the label.

in a midwestem newspaper. Actually this was a common form of public notice to the effect that the local school board proposed to sell an putmoded school building, with its site, at public auction at the school’s administration building. . The notice gave the technical description of the real estate, the dimensions of the building, the time and place of the sale, the authority for the sale, and the fact that the successful bidder must pay down 10 per cent of his bid with the balance to be paid when the final papers were delivered. The notice was run three times, a week apart, as the law prescribed. « Such a notice is not only a lawful record of a school board action, but it serves other purposes. It informs the public of an impending action involving public property and the public interest. It affords interested parties an opportunity to enter bids. In some circumstances it even makes it possible to take legal steps to block the proposed sale, if this seems necessary.
