Bethel High Will Grown Cage Qneen Friday Niqhl MfaCtetoti] fVoTHIsI?*! W NEW YORK ? er worr* ? Now the Civil War Between the States is officially over. Two grandsons of ilustrious opposing generals of that great conflict met in New York recently and shook hands. They smiled at each other, even made speeches praising the exploits of their military forefath ers. The two were General U. S. Grant III and John C. Pemberton III whose grandfathers were the Union and Confederate generals respectively,' at the memorable Battle of Vicksburg, Miss, 'a 1863. Of course Grant won, as we know. But one might not have guessed it to hear the present General Grant eloquently praise the late General Pemberton for his able defense of the Southern city. Nor J was there rancor when President Pemberton of the Civil War Round , Table of Now York cited the high ability and persistence of the Un- , ion commander. General Grant autographed a copy of his speech for me and 1 wish space permitted repeating it here. But he did re- [ mind us that two of his class mates at West Point were Douglas ' MgcArthur and Carl Sandburg. ' the latter falling, he said because 1 of poor grades in English gram- ' mar! ?' ? ?

Newspapers ir V This is the era of built-ins. Peo ile are happy over the trend, hough, because it's making life nore convenient. You don't have to have a mod rn new home to have built-ins. "hey can be designed to fit any louse. Pauline Gordon, State College xtension specialist in housing nd house furnishings has these ecommendations to offer for plan ing storage. Make a list of the rticles to be stored ? the kind nd the number of articles. Deter line size of articles and then plan he height, width, and depth of ach storage unit. Miss Gordon oints out that space is not used to s best advantage tn many closets ecause of poor spacing of shelves, acks, or rods. A storage wall can be designed 3 that it will provide a place for verything and leave more space 3r living With the high cost of jrniture, built-ins can serve a ual purpose ? that of furniture nd closets. Another advantage of uflt-ins is that they get rid of ust catching space beneath and ehind furniture. Living room storage can be tail red to fit the needs of your imily. It can be decorative as well s useful. A built-in wall, for ex mple. can be designed to include esk, book shelves, radio or TV lelf, compartments for card ibles and games. Bedroom storage can be so de gned that it can take the place 1 all furniture except the bed and >me chairs. Of course, the most nportant is the place for clothes, ou can combine the clothing unit 1th the dressing table or desk.
