SENATE RESTAURANT Restaurant Manager Says Most Senators Are Meat, Potato Men WNU Washington Barran When a moment of leisure hits Capitol'Kill, many members of con gress automatically head toward the restaurants in the capitol build ing for food and relaxation. On the house side the restaurant is one of the most easy, relaxed, and infor mal spots in all of the capitol. Its counterpart across the building, the •enate dining room, is much more formal. The house restaurant runs smoothly under the supervision of iE^SCREI By INEZ GERHARD W ITH USO Camp Shows once more providing entertainment for American servicemen, Holly wood is again doing its share to supply glamour names to play to overseas GI’s. Audrey Tetter’s tour took her to Korea, where she did a great job of cheering up sol diers in the hospitals; Jennifer Jones made a similar trip, with so little fanfare that not until after she got home did most people know she had gone. Jack Carson went to AUDREY TOTTER Europe with a comedy cavalcade, which Farley Granger and Shelly Winters said they’d join. And of course there was the Jack Benny, Marjorie Reynolds and Errol Flynn trip to Korea, which took them near the fighting fronts. Irene Beasley celebrated the fifth birthday of her radio program, “Grand Slam”, with a party, as usual—and as usual, it was one of the best parties of the year. Every one, including the sponsors, always has a wonderful time. It’s as much fun as Irene’s hilarious show, which is heard on the CBS Radio Net work weekday mornings at eleven- thirty. E. S. T. At the request of Montana's Governor John Bonner, Pro ducer-Director Howard Hawks will send a 63-foot replica of an early American keelboat used In “The Big Sky” to the State capitol, for permanent exhibi tion by the Historical Society. Eddie Cantor will headline the “Colgate Comedy Hour” on the 28th, after making history Sept. 30th by doing the first commercial telecast of a comedy program, emanating from Hollywood, to go coast to coast. The following week Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, hav ing completed “At Sea with the Navy” for Hal Wallis, return to the series, as headliners, of course. William A. Brockwell, manager, and Mrs. Edith G. Ridgely, hostess. They must, and do, know every representative, member of the press, and employee in the house, since the patrons are limited to these three groups and their guests. Working under some difficulty, the lack of space and the fact that in variably everybody wants to eat at one time, Mr. Brockwell and Mrs. Ridgely, and their staff of 110 are able to serve and satisfy their clientele, with only 250 seats. It is not at all unusual for them to learn at 10 or 11 a.m. that a congressman is planning a luncheon for as many as 50 that day. These parties are generally limited to 50 because that’s the capacity of the speaker’s dining room, which is separate from the restaurant. Pro visions are kept on hand at all times for any of these short notice affairs. In addition to the restaurant and the speaker’s dining room, there is a large cafeteria in the house office building across the street, and another one in the sen ate office building where hundreds of employees in these buildings generally eat. There are also two small snack restaurants, one on each side of the capitol. When the house is in session, the restaurant is open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and when the house has adjourned, it closes at 3:00 p.m. • * # SOME CONGRESSMEN have fre quent parties, many never enter tain. Representative Frank W. Boy kin of Alabama has the largest and most frequent parties. The Texas delegation has lunch en masse every Wednesday in the speaker's dining room when congress is in session. The Iowa delegation makes a point of a breakfast once a week when congress is in session. The Repub lican members of the Ohio delega tion meet frequently, as do the delegations from Alabama, Ar kansas, and Tennessee. To bring a home town flavor to the representatives in Washington, the restaurant imports special food from many parts of the country for parties held on the hill or for gen eral consumption. For instance, they bring in salmon from the west coast, muskrats from Louisiana, strawberries from Alabama, and a special rice from Arkansas to make into a pudding. The favorite dessert of the con gressmen is apple pie. Generally, they are meat, potato, and apple pie men. Most of them like plain, substantial food, and as Mr. Brock well points out, none of them are trying to lose weight. Only about a dozen of them ever ask about fads or diets, such as the recent yen for yogurt or black strap molasses and whole wheat germ. In such a place where many per sonalities meet, funny incidents oc cur, such as the two ladies who had secured passes to the visitors’ gallery of congress and stopped at the restaurant to ask if they could get lunch. Mrs. Ridgely told them that in order to be served they would have to be accompanied by a member of congress. They held a whispered consultation, then turned brightly to Mrs. Ridgely and said: “Oh, that will be all right, we don’t mind!” The relaxed atmosphere of the house restaurant makes a daily, pleasant retreat for the legislators of the country.

After all, Loring Hunt was the most glamor ous of modern day screen stars. ■■ ■ ■ ■ ''» And Rose—well, S minm** Rose was i ust an_ •minuie other young girl Fiction with dreams. She had fallen in love with Loring Hunt when she was 12 years old. Maturity had rather dampened her enthusiasm; at least she never betrayed the real depths of it. When told of Loring Hunt’s pend ing arrival Jerry had snorted. “What!” he cried disgustedly. “That sap coming here? To your house? Why, your mother must be out of her mind!” “Mother’s far from out of her mind,” Rose replied furiously. “It’s only common decency that she ask Mr. Hunt to stay with us while he’s in town. His father and mine were close friends. Since Daddy’s death, the Hunts have been splendid to mother.” She added spitefully: “We’re giving a party in Loring Hunt’s honor and I guess you’d bet ter not come.” “Try and keep me away,” said Jerry. “I’m not letting the girl I’m engaged to run around unprotected with that lizard in the vicinity.” “We’re not engaged,” Rose told him. “We’re practically engaged,” said Jerry. A week later Loring Hunt arrived.. He was wearing a mustache and colored glasses, both of which he removed as soon as he was inside the house. “It’s my defense,” he smiled by way of explanation. “I’d be mobbed without them.” Loring was all and more than she GRASSROOTS Rural Population Is Salvation of Today's Civilization By Wright A. Patterson T HE FIRST WEEK of December, 1951 will mark the end of 11 years that I have been writing this column. Through those eventful 11 years I have, on many occasions, recalled the content of that first column, but I have never reprinted it. It contained a prophecy, made to me by Arthur Balfour, whom during World War I, I considered the most capable, the most discern ing of the British statesmen. The time was the day that marked the close of that con flict in November of 1918. The place was a parlor in the Savoy Hotel on the Strand in London. In that parlor we listened to the wildly hilarious Londoners, millions of them, expressing their Joy over the close of the war. Balfour put down the window that he might make himself heard, and then said to me: “Today we English and all the others of the allied world are crazed with joy over the ending of the war. They do not realize that the world faces a more serious problem now than at any time dur ing the last four years. We know what has happened in Russia; we know that France, Italy and the Balkans are on the verge of Bolshevism; in England we are seriously affected, and in the great cities of America the virus is working. "Within m comparatively short time eve evill he engaged in another global struggle that will mark the end of ciefilizatiou in Europe as we have known and enjoyed it. Our hope of having it returned to us lies in the rural population of America, the peo ple of your towns, your villages and farms. They are the safest, sanest people in the world today. If Amer ica stays out of that coming conflict, those people of rural America will bring our civilization back to us within one or two generations. If America joins in that conflict, she will lose her civilization, and it will take centuries, rather than only gen erations, to get it back." It was a startling^ an unbelievable statement, but I have lived to see much of what Balfour said come to pass. There was that second global war, more destructive, more terrible, than the first one. Con siderable portions of Europe are today living under the blighting in fluence of Communism; England has turned to socialism, and France and Italy are on the verge. I have lived to see the victorious Demo cratic party, dominated by the socialistic New Deal, and this fol lowed by the even more dangerous Fair DeaL We are moving toward socialism at an all too rapid pace. Since that first week in Decem ber, 1940, with that Balfour pro phecy before me as a text, I have endeavored to convince my rural audience, the people of the villages, the towns and the farms, of the dangers in the trend of the social- istio left. I have hoped to cause them to realize their part in the saving of the nation and the world civilization. For us, the destruction will be marked by personal and na tional bankruptcy, caused largely by the effort to meet the demand of those seeking something for nothing. “With the coming of bank ruptcy there will be nothing from which to provide that something that is expected. I have seen that second and greater conflict come and the Hitler legions destroyed. But with that conflict there was de stroyed much of the European civilization. Poland and the Bal kan states have been enveloped within the destructive folds of Communism; France and Italy are on the verge. Engird has gone socialistic, and we in the United States have fol lowed the New Deal, and then the Fair Deal, along the socialistic trail. My feeble efforts, as well as the efforts of many others of great er ability and with larger audi ences, have been outweighed by the something - for - nothing provided through doles to the farmers for not planting or high food prices. They proved more effective than mere words, and they have fol lowed the Pied Piper of socialism, until we are now standing on the brink of the precipice. Because the Jeffersonian Democrats of the south refused to follow the socialis tic program, we are still on that brink. We have one last chance to escape the abyss. That is the next national elec tion. If we at that time defeat the forces of destruction, we can turn back from that socialistic brink. “I look under 30, eh?” Loring chuckled. “They do marvelous things in Hollywood.” had expected. There were a few grey hairs about his temples, but what are a few grey hairs when the man of her dreams was here in the flesh and seeming to take a particu lar interest in her. At least Rose imagined he was taking a particular interest in her. D URING the first of the evening Jerry assumed an attitude of aloofness. He stood in a corner and tried to look disdainful and superior. But when this attitude failed to im press Rose he abandoned it, and took to following her around. Toward the end of the evening Loring Hunt asked her if she’d meet him outside on the terrace in five minutes. “Quite a trick, getting away from that crowd,” Loring Hunt smiled. He drew her to a hammock and sat down. “I wanted to have a few moments alone with you before I left.” “Yes?” whispered Rose. “You remind me so much of your father. He was a fine man. I re member him well.” “You remember my father? But I was only a child when he died!” “You were at that,” said Loring Hunt. “I was young too.” He sighed. “Ah, me! How time does fly. Here I am almost 50 and- ‘Fifty!” cried Rose. “Why, I thought. that is —in your pictures- “I look under 30, eh?” Loring chuckled. “They do marvelous things in Hollywood. But, here. Let’s not talk of me. Tell me about yourself. Are you in love? I no ticed a fine looking boy giving you a lot of attention.” Rose was a bit overcome. She hadn’t dreamed that her ideal •was an old man! was- She started to speak, but a figure had glided up and was standing in front of them. It was Jerry. In the pale light she could see the set look to his jaw. “Ah,” said Loring Hunt, rising, “here he is now. We were just talk ing about you, young man. Rose was telling me well, rather I was telling her that it was a pity her father couldn’t have lived td see his daughter grown to woman hood.” “Yeah?” said Jerry. There was a pause. Rose leaped to her feet. “Mr. Hunt was ask ing me if I’m in love and and I told him yes. I told him I was In love with you, Jerry.” Slowly Jerry relaxed. Rose had taken his arm and was hanging on for dear life. It was a good thing, he told himself importantly, for Loring Hunt, that she had come to her senses.

Water Supply Vital In Farm Fire Control Annual Damage Amounts To Over $100 Million Recently a New Jersey farmer’s barn was set afire by linghtning, and despite the efforts of three fire departments from nearby vil lages, the barn was a complete loss. Two factors combined to defeat the firemen. There was a delay in notifying the fire department be cause the fire wasn’t immediately noticed. There wasn’t a good sup ply of water near the barn from which the pumpers could draw. These conditions are common to most properties in rural or small town areas. If rural residents can find means to correct them, they £ % -.'sSS.-yx Mp >•£ No water.* There ia not mneb these firemen could do to save the barn without an adequate water supply. will go a long way toward reduc ing the large number of “total losses” that occur on farm proper-, ties, causing damage amounting to $100,000,000 a year and taking the' lives of 3,500 farm residents. In spite of efforts on the part of county agents, farm groups, insurance men, and volunteer fire departments to encourage the building of farm ponds, there still are thousands of farms in all parts of the country with inadequate water supplies. The easiest way to provide ade quate water is to dam a brook, or deepen an existing marsh or water hole near the bam. Or a farmer may be able to bulldoze a suitable pond near his buildings. For proper drainage, the pond should be laid out with surveying instruments. . 'Sound oi Com Growing* Recorded by Professor ' Probably every farmer in the United States at one time or an other has heard the old saw “it’s so hot you can almost hear the corn growing.” Now, seven men, in cluding three University of Wiscon sin experts, have joined the ranks of believers. They have a tape recording of what they describe as com growing. Herbert Jacobs, telegraph and farm news editor of the Madison Capital Times, thought up the idea. With the aid of Wisconsin U. experts the ex periment was conducted in a 100- acre stand of university raised com. Recording equipment was carried 500 feet into the field. Microphones were carried deep into the com rows.’ There was no wind or other noises to complicate the recording, the experimenter reported. When the experiment was over and the recording played, Vemer E. Suomi, associate professor of meteorology at the school, said, “When background noises subsided, you could hear that com growing.” Farm experts report com makes 80 per cent of its growth during night-time and will grow as much as two to five inches in one night. Hinged Fence Here is an idea a number of midwest farmers might nse in their feed lots. Hinged at the bottom and held in position by chains, a section of fence is lowered to form a manger. It can be raised when not in nse to become again part of the fence. Posts should be set along the length of the manger as il lustrated. Farm Land Prices Up Sharply in Nebraska Farm land dollar values in Ne braska have increased 124 per cent since 1939, according to figures of the bureau of agricultural eco nomics. In the west north central region of the country, of which Nebraska is a part, prices have increased 3 per cent during the four months ending in July. This despite the usual seasonal reduc tion in farm real estate activity and a downturn in farm products.

Are wartime college students ‘nervous Answer: They are more prone to “nervous habits” than in peace time, reports Dr. Florence M. Young of the University of Georgia in the Journal of Personality. Dr. Young made a comparative study of the prevalence of such habits (in volving the mouth, nose, hair and face) in college students and in Answer: Normally, yes. There is no better evidence of mental health than reacting to each situation with no more emotion than it deserves -for example, not exaggerating the importance or the difficulty of mak ing a good impression when you meet new people. The poised, well- adjusted person takes such meet ings in his stride because he realizes it is not a matter of life and death that everyone he meets should like him. But there is a kind of false “poise” which is the result of such intense fear of emotion that the persen will not let himself feel at all. Real poise does, not mean in difference or lack of interest.

Thus, the patient goes into hospital under the care of his own physician who, after an examination, prescribes certain general measures and calls into consultation various specialists connected with the hospital. At the end of three or four days or a week, during which time the pa tient is checked over by these spe cialists, he may be sent home for further treatment by his own phy sician or to rest up to undergo operation. Instead of having him enter hos pital, the family physician may have him enter the consulting rooms of a group of specialists where he is checked and re checked to find the cause of the symptoms. Just as there are various condi tions of the body which require the W. Barton services of various specialists, so physicians are finding that all dis eases of the mind and of behavior are not alike and so various spe cialists are needed to get best re sults — neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychoanalysts and others. In The Journal of the American Medical Association, Drs. Esther Bogen Tietz and Martin Grotjahn, Los Angeles, state that “the best treatment for mental cases should utilize the services of an integrated team of physicians, psy chotherapists, social workers, psy chologists, teachers, vocation al counselors and laboratory tech nicians, under the direction and control of a psychoanalytically trained psychiatrist with a broad experience in the handling of all types of psychiatric disorders.” By this teamwork method, the psychiatrist can treat many more cases.
