Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hay For the first time in 176 years, the Congress is giving serious consideration to extending the term of U.S. Representatives to four years instead of the present two-year term. House Joint Resolution 394 sponsored by the veteran Congressman Frank Chelf of Kentucky has been the subject of hearings in the House Judiciary committee during recent weeks. In his opening statement to the committee, Congressman Chelf reported on a survey which he has conducted among the various House members. This survey shows that 254 members, (out of 435) favor extending congressional terms to four years. Only forty-one members are against the proposal with the rest still undecided. A corresponding poll of the United States Senate indicates that at least two-thirds of the members of that body favor the proposal. It is appropriate to recall that when the two-year term for Representatives in Con-; gress was originally established, it sometimes took a month or more for a member to travel by horseback or stagecoach from his Congressional district to the Capitol in Washington. The sessions of Congress in those days lasted for only two or three months, after which the Congressmen returned to their constituents to report on the session and explain their actions. The physical strain on members of Congress in that day was small indeed compared to that which must be endured in today's complex and fast-moving society. A Congressional district in 1880 amounted to only about 40,000 residents. Today's Congressional districts are ten to twelve times as large, the duties and demands are many times as great and the cornhave returned from a three weeks' trip to the Dells, Wis., Yellowstone Park, Spokane, Wash., Portland, Ore., Denver, Colo., and Sioux Falls, S. Dakota. In all, they covered 5,200 miles visiting relatives at Sioux Falls and Denver. EXPERT GROOMING (All Breeds) • BOARDING (Individual Kennels) • TRAINING • BATHING Rudy Becker's Kennels 1018 W.

Most members of Congress report periodically by the media of newsletters and radio reports on their activities in Washington, and what they don't voluntarily report the various news media do for them. The lengthening of the term of members of the U.S. House of Representatives to four years has been discussed in and out of the halls of Congress for many years. Even at the Constitutional convention in 1789 one of the principal delegates (later President of the United States), James Madison of Virginia, proposed a three-year term, a proposal which was turned down by a narrow margin. If four-year terms are recommended at the present session in the form of a Constitutional amendment, it is expected that the terms will be staggered so that only onehalf of the members will be elected at any one time. Heretofore approval of such a proposal in the United States Senate has been virtually impossible inasmuch as the Senators feared that during the off-year e l e c t i o n s H o u s e m e m b e r s would invariably try for their Senate seats with everything to gain and nothing to lose since two years of the House term would remain. This Senate opposition is removed in the present proposal by a provision that the Representatives may not become candidates for any other public office during their terms. The Senators are most pleased with this section of the bill and are reported to be overwhelmingly in favor of Congressman Chelf's proposal. Being a Constitutionl amendment, the proposal will require passage in both the House and Senate by majorities of two-thirds of the members of each" chamber, after which the approval by threefourths of the state legislatures will be necessary before any such change in'the law can become effective. STATE SUSPENDS FIVE LICENSES; ISSUE PERMITS The office of Secretary of State Paul Powell has announced the suspensions of the driver licenses of Ambrose G. Bentele of Fox River Grove, Thomas E.

How can I make sure that my hand-knitted garments will retain their shape when laundering? A. Wash these articles in mDd suds, then pat into proper size and shape. Dry thoroughly and then, when dry, hold your steam iron an inch above the garment, and move it slowly back and forth over the entire surface until the steam has penetrated it thoroughly -- never actually touching the garment with the iron. Q. How can I be sure of eradicating all perspiration odor when laundering sweaters or blouses? A. By adding a little am-- monia to your wash, water. Q, How can I preserve the color of linens? 1 A. By placing a few small pieces of camphor gum in the linen closets and drawers. . Q. How can I remedy loosened edges on my linoleum- A. Procure some linoleum cement or mastic at your hardware store, and work this under the loosened edges or corners, using a dull knife. Put an iron or a few heavy books over the area for at least 24 hours, until the cement has had a good chance to harden. Q. How can I clean a corroded steam iron? A. Fill it with vinegar, and let it get very hot. Pour out the vinegar, and from then on use only distilled water to keep your iron in good condition. Q. How can I keep cream from curdling? A. If the sweetness of cream seems uncertain, stir a pinch of baking soda into it. This prevents curdling, even in hot coffee. Q. How can I prevent the screw tops of glue, shellac, and other such sticky-material bottles from sealing themselves so tightly that their later removal creates a big problem ? A. By applying a little petroleum jelly to the glass threads at the top of the bottle, the caps will be much easier to remove later on. Q. Is there anything else, besides turpentine, mineral spirits, or other such solvents, that I can use for cleaning my hands after a paint job? A. You can do a fine job on your hands if you'll rub with sawdust, then finish by washing • the hands as usual with soap and water. Q. How can I eliminate the rather unpleasant odor when cooking shrimp? A. A stick of cinnamon dropped into the water in which you are boiling shrimp will dispel the smell and still not affect the taste. Q. How can. I prevent white nylon from yellowing? A. By using bluing when laundering your nylon shirts, blouse** ittMtorthiaffty and the like. Q. How can I clean rusted or corroded metal surfaces quickly? A. An ordinary rubber eraser dipped into emery powder makes an effective scourer for cleaning off these rusted or corroded metal surfaces. f JOSEPH FRETT NAMED TO GOP ADVISORY GROUP Swarf-Cuts yo/t cwo by Maggie Lovewell Even the most experienced of us mothers gets confused on Sizes - Children's clothes. Now that it's back-to-school time, here's the rundown. There are three girls' categories: l-3x, 3-6x and 7-14. Though the numbers ordinarily correspond to age, actually they are based on the average height and weight of a child who is the same age. If your daughter is 8 years old and of average height and weight, she probably could take a size 8. But if she is tall for her age, she'll need a 9. If she is chubby, but of average height, look for the "chubby" department in most better stores. One caution: In lower-priced stores although the quality may be there, they tend to skimp on material and the next larger size will usually fit better. Don't be confused by the overlap of "3's" in sizes l-3x and 3-6x. The l-3x group is strictly for toddlers, boys and girls of ages 1 1/2 to 2; the clothes here are made wider and shorter to accommodate their squatty little shapes also bulky diapers. In boys' wear, above toddler, the sizes are 2-7 and 6-14. The overlap means nothing. It's strictly a pricing device set up by manufacturers. Many stores now have a "husky" department for chubby boys. "SMARTY-CUT": Keep jewelry diamonds and such, sparkling with ordinary toothpaste. Really works! Use a discarded toothbrush to brush on the paste. Then just rinse clean. If your little toddler keeps crawling over and PLAYING WITH THE TELEPHONE, tie a nice, loud, jingly bell to the cord. That should warn you to come a-running. RUNNING OUT OF VEGETABLE IDEAS: Try mixing red beets and spinach. Top with a butter sauce. You'll be surprised how good it is. DELICIOUS STUFFING FOR ROAST CHICKEN: Mix together chicken livers, brown rice and mushrooms (ummm, great for turkey, too). (Watch for Maggie every week!) BUY NOW!
