Tuesday, May 6,1952 DIARY HOUSEWIFE By MARY KAY K1DDER We have our share of bad weather in Iowa, it's true, but when we have nice weather in this state of ours it is really nice. Bet there's nothing more beautiful than a beautiful day hi Iowa. Did you see that ball-of-fire sunset Friday evening after our spring shower? It's about time to take a look at what some of the other columnists aie saying--give you a little rest from our own chatter. So, we'll scan the most recent bulletin from the Press Columnists of Iowa: Henry Pox, in the Granger Texas, News got confidence in scientists.

With radar, interceptoi planes, radioactive waves, to throw against a hufoan invader, ail we've got against the fly is screen wire." Grace Dodge White in the Franklin, N. Journal-Transcript complains, "There is a feud at our house. I had a gift of a nice little pair of scissors and my husband went and warped them all out ot shape cutting his totenalls." And here's one that a lot of us could sav--esnecially during these summer-like days that we've been having. Earl L.

Tucker in, the Thomasvlle. Ala. Times: "If there's any subject I'm really well up ou it Is procrastination. Don't reckon there's a more efficient procrastinator in this section of the country. One reason I can do it so pood is because I practice on it all the time, and too.

I was just born with a lot of natural ability." T. Kelly in his "Scratch Pad" In the Emmetsburg Reporter says, "Most army men plan to retire settle down in a little white house with rambline; roses. At least it's Different to find one who wants to settle in a big White House with rambling five per-centers all about."

The areas of agreement among good are so great that there should be little cause for excitment about the small areas of disagreement." Florence P.

Laffer in "Correction Line" in the Correctionville News says, "If we can teach our children to stand on their own two feet, to face their problems, if we teach them that there is no real escape from yourself and that bad behavior always was and always will be stupid, then we have gone a long way toward bringing stability and courage to their confused world."

Today, however, as she surveys the hundreds of acquaintances, with whom she has gamed friendships, she considers her impulsivp action one of the best things that ever happened to her.
