Everyone Is snowed under, so to speak, with all kinds of fobs to do and then all of a sudden things seem to just fall in place and everything is set for the annual Maryville Merchants Easter Parade Style Show, sponsored by the Maryville Business and Professional Club. That seems to be the pattern of the style shows and this is the ninth, so the members know pretty well what to expect.

Much effort goes into the stage decorations and this year they are unusual and catching. The theme, too, is different. All kinds of weather has prevailed, however, on the show date, but if it get any more blustery than it is, they will be satisfied. They always hope for nice weather so that more people will have the opportunity of seeing hometown merchandise. Twenty-eight years ago a man came to Maryville from Independence with three trunks of odds and ends.

He had hit the time that life begins right in the middle of the depression. And men over 40 were being by-passed for youth. So Oscar B. Kay founded the Junk House and dealt in odds and ends for years until his death a few years ago. Since then his employes and a relative, W.

P. Kay, operated the shop, which has been located at 116 E. 2nd St. However, W. P.

Kay died recently and in order to settle the estate, the buildings and its contents have been sold to Clyde Woodruff, whose plans are indefinite. Joe Hall, upholsterer and major domo of the shop, has taken another job. No longer can antique hunters, and people wanting used furniture or odds and ends find it on East Second Street. Junk House is no more. Its demise has been as quiet and unpretentious as was its start.

Baker Eddy JFK Greets President Of Brazil Washington President Joao Goulart of Brazil arrived in Washington today for a six-day visit and received a warm greeting from President Kennedy. Kennedy told his guest this country looks to the future of the hemisphere ith great hope and much of that hope comes from Goulart's leadership of Brazil Goulart arrived on a special Jet flight and stepped out into a sunny but crisp Washington morning at Andrews Air Force Base. He was greeted by a coatless and hatless President Kennedy.

The two chatted before going through a reception line that included Secretary of State Dean Rusk and other U. S. and Brazilian officials. Goulart received a ceremonial 21-gun salute and, with Kennedy, inspected an honor guard cape unseen in darkness near a guard tower they knew was unmanned after midnight. The capture followed quickly after a telephoned report that three of the escaped men had been seen in the Santa Venetia area 10 miles north of the prison.

Nine out of 10 persons who replied said The query was one of about 40 related questions posed recently to 400.000 persons in a booklet called Minutes for distributed by the Institute for International Order. Director of the Institute is George Beebe, a scholarly looking man whose size (5 feet, 6) makes him look younger than his 42 years.

Beebe explained the reason for that grim question: just try to get people thinking how peace can come about. Is simply a self-quiz, and we ask anyone to send in their answers, but more than 1,500 did anyway and still coming in. Out of 432 tabulated, exactly 379 thought there was danger of nuclear war. Forty said Some other questions includ ed in the quiz, and responses: Do you think there will al ways be wars? Do you think the U. S.

Americans had long been used to a great deal of self-government The royal charters had guaranteed certain rights, reflecting England's great heritage of liberty and resistance to tyranny.

There were the new state constitutions to be compared. Moreover, the framers knew human history and were determined not to repeat the mistakes of the past. And, not least, an ocean kept away outside interference. What emerged was a conservative, compromise document. Government was to be an intricate system of checks and balances to give no one branch a monopoly of power.

Washington thought it a miracle it was as good as it was, but admitted having certain grave reservations. Two-thirds of the adult male population was not allowed, or did not care, to vote on its ratification. Some states approved it reluctantly, making a number of amendments a condition of These amendments took the form of a Bill of Rights, which contains truths that every generation of Americans must relearn and which much of the world has not yet learned.

The United States was constituted a federal republic, a modified form of democracy, in which at first a restricted number of men were eligible to participate.

Spokesman for the opponents of democracy was the brilliant Alexander Hamilton, who put the new nation on a solid financial basis. He favored a strong central government, reflecting the interests of sound, conservative businessmen. Around him rallied the party of the Federalists. Hamilton antagonist was Thomas Jefferson, leader of the Democratic Republicans. Jefferson viewed government as a necessary evil and urged the greatest possible home rule, freedom and individualism.
