Brass Bible Holders
Finally Explained
ST. ALBANS, Vt. UR — Old time
trains in Vermont used to have
brass Bible holders in each of the
cars. Older residents remember
when they had Bibles in them.
Al Sauviat, railroad historian,
has unearthed some of the old
brass holders, but for a time he
was stumped to explain why Bibles
were considered necessary in rail-
road cars. Now be thinks he knows
why.
In 1888 the legislature of Ver-
mont passed a law permitting Sun-
day trains in Vermont. It author-
ized “Running on a railroad of
such through trains on Sunday as,
in the opinion of the Board, the
public necessity and convenience
may require, having regard to the
due observance of the day.” Sau-
viat thinks Vermont railroaders
provided for “due observance of
the day" by making the Bibles
available.
which rose sharply. Increases were
often over 15 cents.
6. Largest decrease was in cer-
tain types of sirloin steak and tur-
key.. both of which dropped about
20 cents.
Actually, the 31 items in 1952
cost the housewife $11.91. Those
same groceries today would be
$12.26.
That's an increase of only 95
cents.
Six of the items dropped in price,
19 went up, and 6 remained stable.
Lard, galad dressing, sugar peas,
sirloin steak, turkey and margarine
dropped, Preserves, apples, cook-
ing oil, waffle syrup, chopped ba-
by food, and cheddar cheese sre
unchanged.
A survey presents a fairly clear
picture of prices in the last year.
Although many items have increas-
ed, some have dropped sharply to
leave Denton consumers with gen-
erally stable prices for the 12-
By BILL MOYERS
Denton heusewives this Spring
are paying more for groceries than
they did one year ago.
The difference, however, hasn’t
hit their pocketbooks hard. Prices
are .20 of one per cent higher
than they were in the spring of
1952.
At least, that’s what a compari-
son of the prices of 31 items com-
mon in the average Denton kitchen
reveals.
The commodities were picked at
random from the shelves of three
big chain stores. Their prices were
। then compared with identical it-
I ems— same brand, same amount
or size, same store—found in last
spring’s advertisements.
The results of the comparison re-
veal a cross-section of the cur-
rent grocery-price situation in Den-
ton.

Some of those resylts:
1. The average housewife is prob-
ably paying less for meat. Smok-
ed ham', frankfurters, and pork
roads went up slightly, but sirloin
steak, chicken and turkey dropped
sharply to more than make up for
the increase.
2. If her family likes vegetables,
the housewife is paying more than
she did last year. Many fruits,
such as oranges and grapefruit,
are higher. Apples have remain-
ed about the same.
3. Baby food has changed very
little. Chopped meat, barley, and
rice are up. Chopped foods are
unchanged.
4. Miscellaneous items, such as
cooking oil, waffle syrup, pre-
serves, cereal, and cheese, have
changed little. Margarine is down
somewhat. Bread is hiyher be-
cause of an increase in the price
of flour.
5. The largest Increase was in

Remember when aside from real royalty
and fairy tales.the only queen you ever heard
about was the Queen of the May? Now, every |
exhibit, fair, and ball, and even special days (

Is it any wonder that the word “queen” no I

a time! Remember?

tody awards made in one state are
subject to possible modification in
another state, the U. S. Supreme
Court ruled 5 to 3 Monday.
The ruling prompted Justice
Jackson, one of the dissenters, to
voice fear from the bench that it
might prompt the losing parent in
divorce cases to resort to "kidnap-
ing.”
The high court held specifically
that Ohio need neither accept nor
reject a Wisconsin court decision
which awarded custody of three
children to their father. ‘
The case was appealed to the
high tr:bunal by Mrs. Leona Ander-
son MLy, who lives in Lisbon,
Ohio, with the children. She and
the rather, Owen Anderson, were
divorced in Wisconsin. Anderson
lives in Waukesha, Wis.
Mrs Anderson took the children
to Ohio shortly before the divorce
was granted.
Later the fther sued in C olum-
biana County, Ohio, to enforce tie
award and won Mrs. Anderson
arpealed to the highest tr'bunal
after ether Ohio courts upheld the
county court on the ground that

credit clause left them no alter-
native
But Justice Burton, who deliv-
ered today's decision, said the
Ohio courts need not have consid-
ered themselves so bound The
case accordingly was sent back to
the Ohio courts for further consid-
eration.
Justices Jackson and Minton
both wrote dissenting opinions.
