an organized political drive to destroy one

Eldercare is a far more liberal plan—
and far sounder when judged by financial,
social or other relevant criteria. Federal-
state funds would be made available to pay
for private health insurance for the needy,

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

Welfare Recipients •
An Oregon state Senator, L. W. Newbry,
has denounced programs which provide fed

“cofne-ons.” He warned the state against
participating in them “just to get the fed

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-

states only by first taking it away from
the people of the states. And a good share
of it disappears in administrative overhead.
