A HOUSE THAT REMAINS
By Irma Green
Our favorite family keepsake is
our 85-year-old home. It is white
with a red top. Our house is valu-
able because of its history that
includes the building of it, my
forefathers struggles, sorrows,
happiness, and principles. The
original house, a two-room log
cabin, was built in 1879, and each
room holds a memory such as
birth, death, and quarrels.
The house has seven rooms, and
they are extremely large. Each
room has a large door. The doors
are typical of the thinking of our
forefathers because they believed
that business, pleasure, and priv-
acy should not mix.
Our house is straight on one side
and almost round on the other.
The roof is shaped irregularly.
The lumber is of different varie-
ties because of an addition made
to the original.
The first room consists of a
long narrow hall, and the ceiling
is very high here.
Since January 25, 1879 our house
has had many changes. In 1900
my grandfather added five rooms
to the house. The first boards
were logs; then lumber was add-
ed. The original house was built
by my great-grandfather, then my
grandfather made some additions
to it. My great - grandparents,
grandparents, and we of my im-
mediate family have lived in the
house.
I am told that Indians, soldiers
and other families have walked in
this home. This house stands rich
in memories and will keep stand-' heir of the pitcher from 1948 to

From "Bury" To Borrow
Recent developments in Russia and in one of its satellites
are steeped in irony.
That’s because Premier Khrushchev has been compelled
to try to bolster his faltering industrial output by institut-
ing principles of free enterprise—the very system that he
vowed to “bury.”
Here are typical examples of the “copycat” trend:
A new cash bonus arrangement for factory managers
and workers has been installed in six major industries in
an effort to improve quality, as well as, quantity production.
(This is a far cry from the not-too-distant time when plant
managers were reportedly “liquidated” for failing to meet
quotas.)
A textile mill in Bulgaria, which was allowed to func-
tion very much in the fashion of a private American style
plant, proved to be a rip-roaring success. It completed its
yearly production plan six weeks ahead of time, made a sub-
stantial profit, boosted workers’ earnings by 10 per cent and
greatly expanded employment in the community (Actually,
this operation was a back-lash because the Soviet planners
initiated it to “show up” the free enterprise system and their
faces rivaled the red in their flag when the project hit the
jack-pot and the Bulgarian public ^demanded that many more
factories be allowed to operate in the same manner.)
While these moves represent only surface-scratching
shifts in Soviet economic policy it certainly must be mighty
embarrassing for Khrushchev to have to tacitly acknowledge
the superiority of our system by borrowing from it.
