BABSON Babson Park, Mass., April 23—We are ap proaching the big season for weddings. When a young man and woman get married, they be come, in a very special sense, two different peo ple—particularly in terms of basic rseporisibil ity.

HUSBAND SHOULD LEAD THE WAT r ~ r ~ Even before the marriage, while the bride- to-be is floating on a cloud of wedding planning and anticipation, the young man will do well to begin building a “family” economic and fi nancial program. To wait until later is a great mistake, though it admittedly is the easy way out that many lovers follow. Perhaps first on the list should be a careful and mutual decision on where to start their lives together. Marriage counselors generally favor a small, efficient apartment at a realistic rental for newlyweds, especially if the bride intends to continue, or start, working. This will leave ample time for the days of early adjustment when extraordi nary burdens should be held to a miiriminw Once the knot is tied, the young groom should supervise changeovers of various aorta, .. ... » j i .i but not wl thout the assistance and co-operative thonUea.

W. Newbry, has denounced programs which provide fed eral matching funds for state projects as “cofne-ons.” He warned the state against participating in them “just to get the fed eral money.” These programs are largely of a welfare nature. And they seem to have an almost irresistible allure for state and local au- Prairie Schooner During Colonial American days a type of large wagon was built in the Conestoga area of Pennsylvania. These wagons—called Conestogas—were the forerun ners of the covered wagons, so called because they were covered by canvas stretched across a frame built atop the wagons. These covered wagons were used by many settlers who poured westward during the last century, and also by freight carriers who hauled goods to army posts and settlements. At a distance these wagons moving through the rippling grass of the prairies, their white canvas gleam ing, looked somewhat like ships at sea. The similarity was noted and the wagons were called “prairie schoon- ___ 9t ers. fuse. Overlooked is the fact that the fed eral government can provide money to the states only by first taking it away from the people of the states. And a good share of it disappears in administrative overhead. Worse, this dependence on federal larg esse is the great destroyer of state and lo cal responsibility.
