LINCOLN
Welders
Regardless of your
v"** welding problem,
you’ll find the answer to it
in one of the many Lincoln
arc welders. There are Lin
coln arc welders for production, maintenance or structural
welding and for farm use. There are portable Lincoln arc
welders on wheels and engine driven models. Using alternating
or direct current, Lincoln arc welders give weld uniformity at
all times ... and, equally important, they cost less than com
parable welders and give longer service life.

legislation to increase the pay of
“career” military personel.

Dulles Says High-Level
Conference With Russia
Certainly Months Away
WASHINGTON, Uf) — Secretary
of State Dulles said Tuesday any
top-level conference with Russia
is almost certainly “months”
away.
Dulles told the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee it is defin
itely the policy of President Ei
senhower to pursue the possibil
ty of a big power conference once
parliamentary discussions on a
low^r level are out of the way.
He was before the committee to
I ask the Senate’s speedy consent
to ratification of the German re
armament treaties.
Those treaties, he said, should
create “conditions” which he
hoped would “lead to a solution
of other European problems.”
Dulles said it is the “general
desire” of Eisenhower and of
Great Britain, France and the
West Germany Republic “to find
out whether in the light of the
new situation” there can be sub
stantial progress from any meet
ing with Russia’s leaders.

New Comic Strip
‘Half Acre Castle’
Starts Next Week
Look forward to meeting new
neighbors, the Barlows, next
week.
They’re the family that arrives
on this newspaper’s comic page
in the strip, HALF ACRE CAS
TLE, by John Milt Morris. Like
millions of other American fam
ilies in towns and cities all over
the country, the Barlows are
proud owners of a modest dream
castle.
Following their daily antics,
you may find that the Barlows
bear a striking resemblance to the
folks next door—or even to your
own family. The man of the
house, Steve Barlow, for instance,
is really ,proud of his 20-year
mortgage and his right to fumble
about the castle, outdoing the “do
it-yourself” expert next door. His
wife Jan, and daughters Sue and
Jo, add to the fun. They run into
all sorts of household problems,
teen-age hi-jinks, and community
imbroglios.
“Half Acre Castle’s” friendly
and funny satire of home life 20
minutes by bus from the big city
stems from the pen of an artist
and writer not unlike Steve Bar
! low. A half acre castle proprietor
and a do-it-yourseif man himself,
Morris says:
“Sure, I know millions of Am
ericans are moving out to the
country or to small towns. What
do they call it? ‘Shift in popula
tion.’ But I didn’t have a socio
logical tract in mind when I
started to draw ‘Half Acre Castle’
I just wanted to draw life as I
know it and live it—a lot of tun,
and most of the time pretty amus
I ing.”
Be sure you are on hand to
meet the Barlows. Once you get
to know them as they settle down
in your town, they’ll become fast
friends with your entire family.
Watch for them!
