Mrs. Clark, very familiar with this frame of mind, completely ignores him and continues preparing the meal. At last, finding the paper himself, he settles down. He is immediately startled by large headlines reading: MASS SENATOR PROPOSES NEW BILL. Senator Cordon K.

Leading Powers model, Miss Jeanne Chase, stated, 'It is evident the government is trying to cause an unemployment situation in our businesslm Having finished page one, Mr. Clark, beaming with pride, turned to page two and was instantly attracted by the headline: NOBEL PRIZES AWARDED FOR 1955.
