Duke Buys Home Will
Not Be In England
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 16. (UP)
—Edward, Duke of Windsor, paid
today ne ana his American wife
plan to return to England, but will
not make their home there.
The duke and duchess, a little
tired but very cordial, received the
press today at the start of a rush-
ed three-day visit to Mexico City.
The former King of England and
his duchess, the former Wallie
Simpson of Baltimore, for whose
love he gave up the British throne
in 1936, answered “all but political
question*.”
The duke spoke bpth ip Spanish
and in English.
The duke officially denied ru-
mors that he and the duchess plan
toestabligh their home in England
before the end of 1960.
to decide how to vote the three
shares of United States Steel com-
mon stock it owned. Members in
26 other states and those who
couldn’t come today will be polled
by mail. It’s part of the educational
program to show women how they
can wield their stock-holding in-
fluence.
Steel stockholders later this
month will vote on six proposals.
The company is asking approval of
(1) the pension provisions of its
new contract with the United Steel
Workers (CIO); (2) plans to re-
store non-contributory pensions
for some retired workers and sal-
aried workers. The corporation
asks stockholders to vote against
(4) Mrs. Soss’ stockholders res6-
lution that would require all pen-
sion plans to be approved by the
stockholders; (6) and, (6), reso-
lutions by another stockholder,
Janies Fuller (described by Mrs.
Soss as a "sort of Horatio Alger
from Hartford), which would put
a $12,OQO-a-year ceiling on all
pensions and require employes
making $20,000 a year or more to
contribute 20 to 60 per cent of the
cost of their pensions.
Bring Lunches.
The ladies sipped coffee and
listened to feminine statisticians
and economists explain the pension
business.
“So you see, members,” one bf
them explained, “it can grow and
grow and grow.'*1
A portly gentleman with a neat-
ly trimmed mustache and well-
polished head puffed up the stairs,
trailed by a pale young woman in
mink.
“Ladies, am I welcome?” he
boomed. "I had to bring my own
chair.”
‘'She’s Junior* League,” some-
body whispered to somebody. “We
investigate everybody.”
“Her husband brought her be-
cause she’s timid,” somebody else
confided.
“Yes", “No” or “Present”.
“Those of you who are bubbling
with questions, just write them
] down,’’ said the chairman. “We’ll
' get to them later. For the benefit
of those who came in late, we’re
trying to eat our lunches quietly.”
“Now,” said Mrs. Soss, “Here’s
your 14-page proxy statement.
Looks about like your lease. You
get tired of reading all the fine
print, so you don't. I want to tell
you there are three ways to vote.
There are just two ways on the
ballot—“yes” and “no.” You can
also vote ‘present.’ Don’t throw
away your proxy statements. If
you don’t approve but don’t want
to say so, just send them in mark-
ed ‘present’.

NEW KNOWLEDGE SOUGHT
AUSTIN—If public health is to
contribute to health amd happiness
in 1960, the people of the State
need to gain 3 new knowledge of
its significance and to convince
their leaders of the importance of
the support of the people, said Dr.
Geo. W Cot, State Health Officer.
The Stats Department of Health
is the state agency responsible
by low for the health of all the
people in Texas. The working out
of this responsibility, however,
must bs a joint affair shared by
all the people.
The State Health Officer is the
administrative and executive head
of the Department. The field act-
ivities are organized in 18 differ-
ent divisions. A division director
with specific training and exper-
ience in one of the specialized
fields of public health as well as
in general public health measures
directs the activities of each div-
ision.
The many problems faced today
by every American community and
by every school, farm, business
and industry are: how to prevent
and control illness, malnutrition,
and epidemics; how to make the
community in which one lives as
free as possible from hazards to
health.
The world of disease it not di-
vided; it is a common world. Tuber-
culosis in the United States is not
different from tuberculosis in any
other country. In terms of human
needs, the world is truly one
world- Public health and medicine
have a tremendous part to play.
They possess one of the important
keys that unlock the door to future

From Joan Bennett
HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 16. (UP)—
A movie gossip columnist said to-

Josui Bennett to send her a skunk
as a Valentine.
The glamorous star mailed the
skunk Tuesday and said it was “as
good a time as any to answer
back.”
“For years I’ve been the victim
of her nasty remarks,” she said.
Miss Bennett also took $800
worth of heart-shaped ads in two
movie trade papers to hint the col-
umnist is a “frustrated and job-
less actress."
