Dale Carnegie Live Fet The Day < Here's how one woman hand led an emotional crisis and starv ed herself and her family on the road to a happy life. I She Is Mrs. Flora Cummlnga and she lives in San Diego, Calif. Ten - years ago she was left a widow with two children. After a couple of years, she met a man who, she believed, would be both a good husband and a good father to her children. He seem ed to like her children snd cer tainly they liked him and lound him entertaining. As for her, ah* saw in him if not a perfect man, at least one with so many won derfully good traits, that minor trait* could readily be overlook ed. But the trials that come from people living together, did not escape their family. Her hus band was jealous of the great amount of time it was necessary for her to spend on the interests of her young son and young daughter. This jealousy was in tensified when times became hard and she had to go to work to augment the family Income. This she felt called upon to do because her children made an extra burden for her husband to carry. Matters went from the prover bial bad to worse state. Her husband bickcred and quarreled, found fault with the children; the children turned Against him, seemed to prefer not doing the things he wanted done. He even ?truck her little 10-year-old daughter, which she says she can never forgive, but only over look. On top of all this her widowed father had to come and live with them. He was always on the side of the children, so rtoort he and her husband were devout enemies. Then one day her church in nounccd a course in hunun re lationships. She went mora to net away from home after the children had gone ' to bed than bttauae she fett 'any good would come of it. She says in that course, was advocated "living for the day", making the moat and the best. of what one had. and forgetting all other considera tions. She began practicing that Within a ; week, her life was happier: within ith, both her husband and caught her spirit and and iJMimc peaceable: children became more htful She says she h;.d before known what a being in trouble could for herself by Just calmly ; for the day and letting the THM WEEK m WASHINGTOH 1 : . M fi Speculation la Washing** as a raault of bitter partisan de bate* ta the congress ran the gamut of whether Prwtdeat Truman would veto the proposed control bill and the revi?ad "In terim" tax bill and whether or not a "fireside chaf to the peo ple would eaae the political prea ?uro on the administration ee a result of OOP charge* of laxity in pie-Korean ,war preparations [ Despite charges of admlnla ?ration blunders, whether true 01' untrue, the harping and "pi ous hypocrisy" apparent in the deliberations of congress waa tending to hamstring the ad minietration efforts in carrying on the Korean war and defense security and efforts at oom bat ting Ruaslan propaganda on the floor of the United Nations se curity council at Laket tturdas*. In the name of politic*, con greaa is handing the President a control bill so fraught with re strictions as to make it nigh Im possible at administration. As this Is written, there was conjec ture as to whether or not the President would accept the mea sure. At the same time, the con gress made no secret of its haste to pass the drift law and to get men into military service as fast as possible. It was averse to drsfting dollars, business and in dustry to pay the price In a com prehensive tax bill. The unite changed radically the control* bill paned by the house, acting on aeveral of (cure* ol the President in administer ing the emergency measure. One amendment proposed by Sen. John W. Bricker of Ohio makea It mandatory on the part of the President to control wage* and price* in all industries and on all commoditie* if he deema it neceaaary to control In one in dustry or one commodity. In other words, if the President and his adviaors believed it neces sary to control prices on soy beans or automobile wheels to prevent inflation or runaway prices on those two items, It would be necessary for him to institute price and wage controls on everything. Another anti administration amendment adopt ed was fostered by Senator Ed win C. Johnson of Colorado specifying that the secretary of commerce should handle the entire allocation and priorities program. The administration wanted It left to the President to decide, which agency would handle particular allocation. It appeared likely that at least this Johnson restriction would be stricken out of the bill in con ference. Instead of giving the Presi dent authority to regulate spec ulation on the commodity ex changes, the senate adopted an amendment giving the com modity exchanges themselves authority to police speculators. The senate passed the peren nial federal highway bill after lopping off approximately $358, (KKt.OOO In authorization at the expense of the Mcondary at the expense of the secondary and urban road program. Total bill authorization* paaaed by the Senate was $1,138,000,000, while the bill passed by the' house car ried authorisation of $1,291,000, 000. President Truman had ask ed the bill to be cut a total of $240<000,000 for the two year period ending June 30, 1953, but the senate went on to slash $119, 000,000 more out of the bill, af ter completely eliminating a new formula for distribution for toads adjacent to large cities in the inter-state highway system. As it went to the confcrencc the bill provided authorization for fiscal 1?S2 and 1953: $225. 000,000 for primary roads; ($135, 000,000 for secondary roads; and annual expenditures of $40,000, 000 for forest highways; $10, 000,000 for park roads and trails; $13,000,000 for parkways; $6,000, 000 for Indian reservation roads and $5,000,000 for emergency highway repairs and construc tion: $4,000,000 for the inter American highway; $10,000,000 for roads to military installation*; $5,000,000 for roads on public domain and $3,500,000 for the Tongass forest roads in Alaska. The motion to slash $130,000, 000 from the secondary or farm to-market road authorization waa made by Senators -Harry Byrd of Virginia and Style* Bridges of New Hampshire. It remain* to be seen whether the appro priations committed will actual ly furnish the money.

J5I Upon arrival at Cherokee and while camp lite was being de cided, we were challeneged for a football game by the Cherokee Indian boy*. They were email, but "hard-hitters" and were very good sports. Mr. Ulan ton Miller of Boone, who played the part of "Tecum - ?eh" in the Cherokee drama, vis ited our camp site and arranged for a bus to carry the boys to the drama "Unto These Hills," which we all enjoyed very much. Sunday jnorning we broke camp sftUcd together for a worship service conducted by Scout Guy Hunt, Jr. Our next point of interest was a trip through the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, stop ping at the Pioneer Museum and New Found Gap. The big attrac tion for the day was the bears. On our return trip home we vis ited the Cherokee Indian Mu seum. We all agree this is the best and most interesting camp ing trip ever experienced. We want to express our thanks to Mr. C. P. Teague and Dr. Lee F. Reynolds for planning and making the trip possible, and Mr. Paul Coffey for the use of his truck.
