8 Friday, April 18, 1953 Stanton DeJaplanes Postcard From San Francisco Hftje Janforti ibontinel -hi iOilkHAL A New Clialleiuie icr DcXXl- Illllltetl cr Dairymen have plenty of reason to be concerned about artificial ice cream, just as they had cause to worry about imitation butter. Today oleomargarine enjoys a sizeable chunk of the butter market, and dairymen were hurt by it. There is no point in ducking the issue, however. The threat is there. Whistling in the dark will not make it go away.

The answer lies, of course, in perfecting very techniques and practices that good dairymen have been pioneering all along and for which Kings County is becoming known. Costs have to be cut and the price kept in a competitive position, at the same time maintaining an ample margin for operation and profit. It will be a( big challenge for the dairy industry. As with the butter-margarine battle, the farmer has the edge in quality. Butter is better, no doubt about it.

Real ice cream is better, too. But quality is only one of the factors. The newest threat to the dairying industry, artificial ice cream, is beginning to show up in Kings County grocery stores, and is apparently selling pretty well. The price is lower than for the real article, and the manufacturer is generally a recognizable trade name already established in the dairy field, both of which are aids to selling. We bought a half-gallon the other night and took it home for a trial.

It was with considerable doubts for few imitations" ever come close to the real thing. In this case, however, we'll have to admit that the product is good, the resemblance to ice cream is nearly convincing, the consistency is right, the flavor is good, the texture is almost the same. You could slip a bowl of this under a persons nose and he would eat it all without stopping to notice that the imitation product, containing no cream whatsoever, was not ice cream. Realtors Help To Build a Better County Necessity Is the Mother Of? 1 THE INVENTORS go on and on. Patent No.

2,827,862 has been issued to a candy machine company in Racine, Wis. It was indented by Mr. William Genich, presumably out in the garage. Great inventors work modestly, according to stones I have read. (Archimedes worked in a bathtub.) Anyway, I guess Mr.

Genich was puttering about the place when a good idea struck him; Who bends the crook handles onto candy canes? This is a poser. And Im sure 1 dont know who did this delicate work But I can tell you they are out of a job now. For Mr. Genich sat right down and invented a machine to bend the handle onto candy canes. They are bent while they are warm.

The candy cane machine takes the straight red-and-white striped stick. And it bends a crook handle on it. Pretty as you please. WHEN I was a youth, I lived next to an inventor, lie worked on his back porch and today he is a millionaire. If I told you his name you would drop your hairpins it was a hairpin he invented that mads him rich.

At this time, however, he was not rich. He had invented a hot water bottle that did not leak. (Leaky hot water bottles were a- problem when I was a boy. Who knows why?) Anyway, Max that was his first name hung the water bottle on the back porch so they could see if it leaked, it hung there fo; days. Each day Mr.

Max inspected it and was closer to fortjne. It hung and it hung and it did not leak a drop. IT WAS too much for me. One day while having at the neighborhood cats with my Daisy air rifle, I looked up and saw the hot water bottle swaying there. I swear all I meant to do was AIM at it.

Bu, all of a sudden POP! A little stream of water leaped from tne inventors hot water bottle. I can still hear the cry of Mrs. Max when she looked out the door: "Max, Max! Mein Got, the water bottle! I fled home and hid under a bed. Mr. Max gave up the water bottle thing.

He got some wire and invented a hairpin. It was an enormous success. And the whole family moved to a richer part of the town. A GOODMANY-tbinpare being invented at this very minute to help you. Like Mr.

Genichs candy cane crooker. Last year inventors patented: A wire snare that traps garfish-very important if you are bothered by garfish. A refrigerator door that holds a small radio. You reach for the milk. The radio gives you three bars of "Lollipop and five minutes of commercial.

There is a dog feeder. The dog puts his paw on the button. The machine drops him a dog biscuit. An inventor made a night lamp with a whirling shade. The shade shows sheep jumping over a fence.

How about that? INVENTORS also invented a spoon which butter comes off of without your having to lick it off. (I think this is a crime against children. If we cannot lick the cake pan, what kind of world is this anyway?) There is a mechanical owl. Inside the owl is a record: "Whoo, v.hoo Scares off other birds. Doctors invented a little radio pill.

You swallow the pill and the medics pick up your broadcast on short wave. You cannot beat such inventions as these such a wonderful world to live in. Everything being invented for you. Candy canes ooked by machines. Dogs fed by their own pawing.

Radios in the stomach and in the ice box. A loaf of bread under each arm and you're crying? Matter of Fact Making Payments On Never Never Plan Hats off to the realtors! This is their week. In Kings County it is particularly appropriate for us to recognize these men and women who are specialists in land and building values, who keep the market alive and thriving by their sales abil, ities and by their impressive knowledge of local conditions. A field day for realtors in Kings County will come with the air station. The realtors will help the incoming residents to find homes, they will help our property developers to find buyers, they will entourage subdivision development and the restoration of property to such a condition it will bring its best price, just as they have in the past.

Housing, after all, isia business. It is a specialized business, requiring more than a glib tongue and a fast shuffle of papers. In a city like any of ours in Kings County, we deal with men and women we know, whose reputations are established, whose word is as good as their bond. They are community builders. It is to be hoped that the efforts of enlightened realtors will be availed to the full in developing our new housing areas.

They know the value of quality construction, of good subdivision layout affording privacy and ample living space; they cherish, as we do, the advantages of living in Kings County and will help to protect them. We should like to salute at this time, planning commissions and professional planners who will work closely with the real estate men in developing this countys growth. Together these men and women hold the key to building our communities as well as they C2n be built. By JOSEPH ALSOP DETROIT It is a little hard to believe in people like John and Jeannette; but they really exist barely exist at the moment-in a grey little street of grey little houses in East Detroit. John is a fine-looking fellow, 11 years an auto-worker, who was doing setting up exercises when I rang his doorbell because its easy to get out of shape when youre laid off." Jeanette is a sturdy young woman whom John met on the assembly line at one of the Chrysler auto plants.

They are not highly skilled workers, but they had over $160 a week of take-home pay between them before Jeannette lost her job last September. "I wouldn't of believed it until it happened, he said. "Seemed like you'd never be laid off, when youd worked steady for seven years, like I had. AT THAT TIME John had the car paid for (it was a cash bargain from a fellow worker). But the house, the washer, the dryer, the television set and the furniture were all on the never-never.

Altogether, the payments then amounted to $83 a month (although John and Jeannette had never added them up, and Jeannette commented, "Gee, thats awful when I did the sum for them.) Yet with Jeannette already jobless, they went in hock for another $200 to buy Christmas presents at one of the cheap Detroit stores that will almost sell toilet paper on time. 31erry-Go-Round A Tale for Archie, the Literate Cockroach He Sat Down to Play Texas Bov Lasoos Russians By DOC QUIGG To Thaw Farm Controls Other Papers Say There are honest differences buying crops at an opinion about how best to prjce Secretary Dulles, of course, automatically sips every cable leaving the State so it's doubtful whether he knew much about the competition of the cockroaches. At any rate, the problem was taken to the National Academy of Sciences, which, having no replacements on hand, sent rush orders to the University of Minnesota for three dozen more cockroaches. Until they arrive, Americans at the Brussels fair have to resort to colored pictures to show' the achievements of the American cockroach in the battle between East and West. INTERNAL REVENUE officials are getting chuckles out of this story about two clergymen and a revenue agent who died at the same time and approached the heavenly gates together.

After looking them over, St. Peter first beckoned the tax collector into heaven, later admitted the two clerics. The latter were puzzled and somewhat affronted. One of them complained: With all due respect to your judgment, we have always thought that we led exemplary lives, exhorting our fellow men to do good and abide by the Bible. Why then does this layman, this revenue agent, take precedence? What you say may be true, agreed St.

Peter. "However, this man has scaled hell out of more people than both of you together." GOV. PRICE DANIEL of Texas, running for re-election, is so scared that hes almost become a friend of the people. Sen. Lyndon Johnson and family ride coach when they fly from Texas back to Washington.

Rourna-nia is now completely open to By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON American diplomats rubbed their eyes last week when they read a cable flashed across the Atlantic: Please inform which dish of cockroaches broken (signed) Dulles. The cable, signed by the distinguished secretary of state, pertained to the death of 36 cockroaches sent by the United States to participate in the Brussels World Fair. The lowly bugs had been shipped to Brussels as part of the cold war between the East and the West. To some extent they were to prove that the U.

S. A. could raise bigger and better bugs than are raised. behind the from curtain and how to raise them. Thre shipments of cockroaches sent to Brussels a common.

Kitchen, variety untouched by science; a puny, pitiful variety injected with aureo-mytin; and a third batch of super duper cockroaches fed with vitamins. The latter were bugs that the free world could really be proud of healthier, more virulent than any Communist bug that had to scrounge for a living in the slave world. FURTHERMORE, an interesting point was being made by these cockroaches. Though housewives regard cockroaches as parasites, it seems that cockroaches themselves have parasites. And in the cockroaches which had received aureomy-cin, the parasites had been killed, which interfered with their digestion and made them puny.

Unfortunately for the battle of the bugs between E2st and West, the displays of cockroaches were crushed en route to Belgium and the cockroaches killed. Hence the cable; Piease inform which dish of cockroaches broken Dulles. Try and Stop 3Ie Perfectionist Three weeks later, John too was laid off. "If Id knew that, Id never of went so deep at Christmas, said John ruefully. But the deed was done.

Today. Jeannettes unemployment benefits have run out, and the family has nothing but Johns benefits of $43 a week. With time payments swollen to $108 a month by the Christmas splurge, they and their boy live mainly on spaghetti. Worst of all, Johns benefits will also run out in another 13 weeks. But even now they seem to have no sense of on-rushing catastrophe.

WHAT MAKES JOHN and Jeannette hard to believe in, of course, is the curious combination of industriousness for both have always been hard, steady workers with almost total, lotus-eating improvidence. They are not unusual either. 1 ran into one young auto-worker who had lost his job, had got married on his unemployment benefits two months later, and had gone on the never-never for $850 worth of furniture and appliances with no job prospect and only 17 weeks of benefits to go. His is on welfare now. The wife is pregnant, and their whole wretched little apartment smelled of ruin.

There was another brisk, bustling woman who had gone to work at Chrysler against her husbandis will "because you never get ahead unless the woman works. With a big combined income, they had signed a really big note to a fly-by-night contractor for finishing their attic as an extra bedroom. Now their time payments were $160 a month, or exactly half what the still worker husband earns. The woman commented; "Anyway, we still got a little cornin in, so we're better off than a lot of people. AT FIRST one hardly knows which is more shocking, the rapacity of the never-never traders who prey upon these simple people, or the shortsighted folly of the people themselves.

Nothing, certainly, can excuse the dealers selling trash for nothing down, easy terms, whose "easy terms are such i that the trash is generally paid for at least twice over. But if you reflect on the matter, you cannot put the whole blame on these industrial workers for their fantastic uses of easy credit. They live, after all, in a society that measures achievement not by inner standards but by material objects. Day after day, there are the voices sometimes very respectable voices warning them they have achieved nothing if their plumbing merely flushes but is not orchid colored, or if their cars merely get them from here to there but do not look like dropsical juke boxes. THEN TOO, the really monstrous use of credit they have been making has been permitted, and even encouraged by the society leaders.

The auto manufacturers were not the least powerful of those who pressed the Federal Reserve Board to relax installment buying rules. And if tens of thousands of the General Motors workers, for instance, have outrageously mortgaged themselves because of over-confidence in their job-security, they have judged their job-security by the forecasts of General Motors' President Harlow Curtice, who so often swept aside every suggestion that the American automobile market might perhaps become 1 I 5 I cl BUT THIS HAS PROVED largely self-defeating. The little farmer and the marginal grower who most need help seldom raise enough to get much benefit from price supports. The big "corporation farms, which often can make a profit at half the current price-support levels, get the big federal payments. And surpluses are piled up which overhang the markets.

Meanwhile growers tend to price themselves out of markets and to become dependent on government aid. It is this situation which causes the President to say that a thaw rather than a freeze is needed. Last year by tremendous efforts and at the risk of incurring retaliation from countries which object to dumping the government sold surpluses abroad and cut its holdings by $1 billion. It naturally does not wish to cultivate new surpluses with high price supports. We believe Mr.

Eisenhower is right in saying that the best interests of the nation and th farmers lie in loosening controls. Christian Science Monitor. American tourists; the Roumanian dance ensemble will tour the U. S. this fall; the minister qualnted with the U.

There has been some speculation here about how Russian food has hit him. He was born in Shreveport, where his parents founded a mission that grew into a church. To keep him quiet when he was a tot, his mother used to give him a triangle to bang on during the church music. In Kilgore, the family joined the First Baptist Church, and Van sang in the choir. In New York, he joined the Calvary Baptist Church, just down the street from Camegie Hall.

He has written hymns and short pieces for the church, and composed a choral setting for a psalm which was sung on the radio here. Hes a friendly character who loves people and practical jokes. Quite a boy. Weed Control Rule Is Made State Farm Parade By UNITED PRESS California has taken a big step forward in controlling one of the major farm pests weeds. The state Dept, of Agriculture has issued a regulation, effective June 1, which is expected to eliminate the movement of weed seeds throughout the state.

The regulation provides that all shipments of grains in California be certified to be clean of weed seeds before they may be delivered to their destination. The idea is to encourage voluntary soil fumigation and certification of grain shipments at their source. In any case, the county agriculture commissioner must be notified of a grain shipment when it reaches its destination. He may either in-SDect it or waive inspection if it already is certified clean or is going to a mill or other establishment where it will not harm agriculture. The clean grain regulation is the result of a bill passed in the 1957 legislature.

The new rule provides the grain must be clean of seeds of all primary noxious weeds plus those of three secondary noxious weeds yellow star thistle, john-son grass and wild morning glory. NEW YORK (UP) If we can stop yapping about juvenile delinquency long enough, it might be well to ponder the fact that a couple of our juveniles are international sensations. One is Bobby Fischer of who at 14 set the chess world on its ear by defeating grand masters to win the U. S. championship.

He now is entitled tc a crack at the world chess title, held by Smyslov of Russia. The other is Van Cliburn of Shreveport, and Kilgore, who at 23 set Moscow on its ear this week by winning the Tchaikovsky internation piano competition. This extroverted Ir-ish-Texan (both his mother and father are of Irish descent) gave his first public concert in Shreveport at the age of three. When he was six, he and his mother, a concert pianist, were giving recitals together. On his first day in school in Shreveport, the teacher asked him if he could read.

We shall not attempt to judge what motives dominated the move in Congress to freeze crop price supports and acreage allotments at last years levels.

But we do believe President Eisenhower displayed wisdom and courage in vetoing the bill. It is easy to understand why many farmers feel crop prices should be artificially supported.
