The Parker House, in this village, comes out this week with hew landffighway Legislation By a slim margin of two votes the House has sustained President Roosevelt's veto of Defense Highway legislation, thus killing the bill. The measure would have authorized the apportionment of $1,500,000 among the states for strategic highway construction. In his veto message the Chief Executive criticized the apportionment of the money among the several states and implied that he himself should have control of any funds authorzed for Defense Highway purposes. The vote on the proposal to override the President's veto, was 251 in favor of overriding the veto, to 128 against, o* two votes short of the necessary two-thirds. Previously the Senate had voted 67 to 19 to override the White House disapproval.

Too Crowded for Convenience Washington hotel men are in tears. In fact, the flow of tears resembles Niagara Falls. The reason is, that they had just been requested by Mr. Leon Henderson, price administrator, Mto discourage" the handling of conventions in the nation's capitol until the present emergency is over. Warti* ington has long been the mecca for conventions of all types, kinds and descriptions. According to reports, 100,000 convention -delegates attended over 200 conventions in Washington during 1940. It is estimated that they spent in the neighborhood of $5,- 000,000. At the present time the nation's capitol is crowded to overflowing. The housing situation is acute and the hotel situation is as bad. Several large hotel buildings have jus* been taken over by the government for Federal Office purposes. As a result, all hotels in the city are crowded. People who have enjoyed weekly and monthly rates in the past, are being laughed at by the hotel people when they ask for them now. It is reported that near-by Baltimore is milking a bid for numerous conventions which have been held annually ta Washington in the past. Vernon J.

All the rest of the world is insured for only about $37,- 000,000,000. There are only 13^,000,000 people in this country, including children, which makes it nearly one policy per person. Of course that isn't quite the case, because there are some who have more than one policy.

With your Camera you can make a historical ?.V,; fIt '• -,. picture story ot changes in the local scenes, and In timd your album will lie a treasure chest ot people, places, and events. Some ot the pictures may seem commonplace now, hut they will become as interesting and valuable twenty to thirty years hence as those ot the "Gay Nineties" are today. il* , r>» Do you remember your town thirty Sj&r . Iv Is years ago? Perhaps the streets were |c * gravel or dirt--now they are paved. ' The livery stable, blacksmith shop, ^ Ul1 the general store all played a ^1**^ * t prominent role in everyday life. Now the horse and carriage is an 4 * I*, oddity, the blacksmith shop has 'v given way to the garage, and the ^ g t o r e t b a t c o n t a i n e d e v e r y t h i n g f r o m '1; mouse traps to coveralls, whose ^ ; owner was both the postmaster and •X ' •• . , the sheriff, is relatively rare. Suppose you had a camera then and recorded all these subjects. Tou could now picture things as they are today and make up a wonderful album of comparison snapshots that would not only be enjoyed but envied by many. The changes in the next thirty years will probably be just as great and noticeable as those in the past. Many towns still have houses ot "gingerbread" architecture, and soon to be replaced. New balldings are being constructed, the street car has already been replaced by buses in many localities. * StyleS change every year, skirts grow longer or shorter, and otir outdoor activities and sports are constantly changing. When planning your picture his* tory, select subjects which, in your . judgment, are most typical of your : town. Street scenes, residences, | lowntown buildings, present types }f automobiles, trains, airplanes." and many other things contain elements that are modern today, but nay be obsolete tomorrow. Take a number of good compart* son pictures. For example, take a shot of an old house which is being torn down, and then, later, take a snapshot of the modern structure which recced it For variety in your albuni, try a number of unusual angle shots similar to our illustration above. And don't forget night scenes of electric signs, light* ed buildings, and the main street. History is being made every day, and your camera is an ideal means ot recording it You'll be surprised at the changes made in a five- or ten-year period. Things we see today will be nothing but a memory in a short wfrile, and the snapshots you take now will have greater and greater appeal as time goes on. » . John van Guilder .
