prompt exploration for new supplies But I do not believe that gas prices should be permitted to rise unchecked, and I cannot condone recent lobbying activities on the part of the big gas companies Last week we averted a rise in

REAL ESTATE

natural gas prices by the votes of just two congressmen. I was one of those who voted to keep the lid on prices charged by the big gas producers. What angered me about the proceedings in the House, however, was the method by which the big gas companies manipulated pressure on Congressmen to influence their votes. In at least one instance, the gas lobby virtually “bought'’ a vote for deregulation, by contributing huge sums to pay off the campaign debts of their chief spokesman, a rich Texas congressman. Although the gas lobby has been seeking price deregulation since the Eisenhower ad- . ministration, they apparently saw this year as the time to make their move. So for several months, gas suppliers warned of impending shortages of the fuel, which heats 40 million homes and 10 million businesses Even the federal energy administration released statistics predicting low gas supplies this winter. Gas companies told hospital administrators, school superintendents and homeowners that fuel supplies might not be adequate to meet their needs These individuals • were urged to pressure their representatives in Congress to support deregulation, and many congressmen responded to the pressure by announcing their support for deregulation. Last month, though, it was revealed that gas suppliers apparently misled the public intentionally by underestimating the gas available. Whether because of domination by big oil interests or because of incompentence. the bureaucrats at the federal energy administration had not detected this intentional distortion of figures by the industry. But the path already had been cleared for deregulation, and the senate caved m to the pressure Last week's house action, narrowly defeating deregulation, has set the stage for a probable compromise in the conference committee by house and senate members. So we don't yet know if the gas lobby will be successful. If they are, the average American family will lose about S4OO this year in added cost of living expenses Thousands of people will be put out of work by the economic shock of a sls billion impact on the economy. The average American will lose if the gas lobby wins. Despite high-pressure lobbying, I will resist the arm-twisting and maneuvering and cast your vote to keep the big gas companies in check.

Plans are now in the making for the construction of a good bathing beach at Waubee Lake at the present site of the Waubee Gravel Co. Under the proposed plans the huge sand pile at the north edge of the lake would be used as a fill in for a safe beach, a bathhouse would be erected and a lifeguard stationed there. The present beach is very popular among Milford swimmers but for those that are "dubs" in this sport, the safety line is very short. This would be a fine improvement for the vicinity of Milford. .

Try your brakes or gently press your accelerator while moving slowly and as traffic and highway conditions permit. Always adjust your speed to road and weather conditions Beware of the road as you drive in winter's worst weather. Remember, ice and packed snow stay longer in sheltered areas and on bridges and curves. Slow down when approaching these areas.

Restoring antique cribs WEST LAFAYETTE — Restoring an antique crib for a new baby can be an exciting project. Not only for mothers and fathers, but grandparents, too. are getting into the act, says Ezelle Johnson, extension home furnishings specialist at Purdue university Consequently, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission has made the following reconynendations for using old or anttque cribs: To provide maximum safety for the baby, \irst check the overall condition of the crib. Loose slats in the side rails or any loose joints should be tightened Darnaged or missing slats should be replaced If the side rails are too low. extenders can be bought to raise them Make sure hardware on the crib and extenders are in good condition, free from rough edges and cannot be easily removed. Check the latch or lock mechanism on the drop side to assure that it catches firmly and cannot be easily tripped by little hands. Faulty mechanisms should be replaced. If the spaces between the rail slats are more than inches, the infant could possible wedge its head between the slats. Bumper pads should be bought Select a firm mattress that fits tightly in the crib. If more than two fingers fit between the mattress and the crib, the mattress is too small Use only paints or finishes labeled ncn-toxic if you paint or refinish the crib. The commission has reminded crib restorers that these are only precautions. Children are ingenious There is no substitute for close parental supervision.
