It is not in the hands of Hix. The screaming headlines ranged in three banks and printed in large black type read: United States Sends Germany An Ultimatum. The last edition of the Buffalo Inquirer for that mo- mentous date said in equally large and ominous print, Kaiser Must’ Obey, over the signature of President Woodrow Wilson. Illegal submarine warfare must be stopped, no loophole left for diplomatic quibbling, the headlines expanded the theme. Crowded galleries greeted the President’s speech to House and Senate. Immediate severance of dip- lomatic relations was threated- ed and the United States was on the brink of war with Germany. The 53 year old newspaper is in tatters, but it carried the message, the United States of America, jettisoning the Monroe Doctrine, was about to send soldiers to fight on foreign soil, a War to end Wars, to guar- antee peace for the World and a Utopia for the future.

Jackson Twp. Mrs. John Billow, Chase: Manor, has been a busy grand- mother lately. Both her daugh- ters had new babies within a brief span of time. She spent ten days at Ridge Street, Dallas with her daughter Joan's family when infant Paul Voitek was born on Feb. 16 at Nesbitt Hospital. Weighing only four pounds at birth, he just re- cently was brought home to meet his brother Mark five, and sisters Marguerite nine, Eileen seven, Barbara six and Marie two. She scarcely returned home when daughter Maggie, Mrs. John Fronczkiewicz of Tunk- hannock arrived for a few days, with her daughters, Susan five, Carol three and Janice two. On March 13, she gave birth to another little girl, named Amy at Nesbitt Hospital.

Polk Michael A. Polk, Dallas, has been named Administrative Assistant for Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvaniz. In his new position, Mr. Polk will be responsible for administration of the Plan’s recently announced out-of-hospi- tal Prescription Drug Program for Blue Cross subscribers and act as representative to phar- macists throughoutthe 13 county area served by Blue Cross. Mr. Polk served with USV Pharmaceutical Corporation for 11 years before accepting this new position. Born in Wilkes- Barre, Polk was graduated from Swoyersville High School, later attending Eckles College in Philadelphia. Mr. Polk and his wife, the former Dolores Wischak, reside with their sons, Michael and Mare, in Grandview Acres, Dallas. i Just what is the expanding role of the home-maker in a changing world, was the sub- ject of a home-making seminar staged March 20 at the new UGI building in Kingston. Miss Helen E. Bell, repre- senting the Human Develop- ment program at Pennsylvania State University, set her tape recorder in motion, let the gathering in on the secret that she was using the women for guinea pigs, that this was a fairly new approach to an age- old subject, and let’s see what happens. Please, she said, speak up. We all learn from each other, and there is a lot of territory to cover. She plunged into the subject of the contrast between home- making in what people are pleased to describe as ‘‘the good old days,” and home- making at the present time, when so many time and labor saving gadgets are a common- place in every household. A woman bending over a washtub or turning out a batch of fresh bread from a wood- burning stove, was contrasted with a modern home-maker who flips a switch to set the washer in motion, and another to activate the dryer. The mere mechanics of run- ning a house took up all the time there was in the days when the country was young, and pioneers were forging west- ward, leaving behind them even comforrts as they had en- joyed in the settled regions of the east. Men broke the soil, planted crops, established dairy herds, working from before sunrise to sunset. Women tended the kitchen garden, canned for the - winter, dried fruit, put down vegetables in brine, or stored them in the root cellar. ‘picture. Frozen foods, Large families were desir- able, for every son was a potential helper. Life took it out of the wo- men, but it also gave them a goal. There was competition among neighbors to see whose. snow-white sheets were first on the line on Monday morning. Sheets on the line are disap- pearing from the American scene, with the advent of the home dryer, said Miss Bell, and washing is sone at odd times, when it is convenient to fill a tub from the faucet, sift in a cupful of detergent, and set the wheels in motion. Other aspects of home-mak- ing contribute to the modern pack- aged meats, bakery bread, re- lieve the home-maker of so many of her former tasks, that the problem of surplus time arises. And not only surplus time, but what to do with it. The home-maker has been robbed of certain satisfactions that once were hers. She worked harder in the later years of the ninettenth century, but she also felt a sense of achievement and of pride. Her role has changed since the advent of the motor car, the electric refrigerator, the thousand and one inventions that make life easier and some- times more complicated. She finds herself the admin- istrator of the household, the last word in bringing up of the children, for the family is no longer a cohesive unit. The father works, not for himself, but for an employer, and he is away from home, not easily at hand to settle disputes. The “You just wait until your father comes home, young man,’”’ approach to a domestic problem, has gone out with the donning of the grey flannel suit. and the catching of the 60¢ 60¢ - 60¢ 69. 69¢. i 2 B =r) 3 EE 5 63 * = SNA EGGS Butter Cream 1.00 Coconut Butter Cream. 1.00 Chocolate Nut Butter Cream 1.00.
