Giving Up The House A little lady in Youngstown, Ohio, recently sent us her thoughts after moving out of the house in Aitoona, Pa., that she calied home for half a century. Eighty this month, she finally gave in to the concern of her nine children about living alone any longer in the former dwelling place of the family. She put it all in poetry for us and we thought you might enjoy it. Her name is Edith Hopkins Courtney, and she has no less than 59 grandchildren: Years ago we built this house, __ my husband and I. - I1 thoughts I'd never leave it until | die. Our children all grew up and moved away, There seems to be no reason I should stay. My husband died and I am all alone, But still I feel contented in our home. Our children worry, bless their hearts, they're all so far away ; * I've. told them | would move-perhaps in May. i'd have my own apartment, two bedrooms 1 would need, I'd ask my friends to visit me, | would indeed. j Three families live | in - Youngstown and that is where I'll go. The children all are glad, they've toid me so. This house, which was built of lumber and stone, Through half a century has become a home. The happiness and sorrow, the laughter and tears, Have formed many memories through the years. l'll sell our home and try to be brave, I taught all our children how to behave. ~\Into each life some rain must fall,\ This isn't the end of my world aft all. -U.S. PRESS ASSOC.

(UPI)-When the state cut ticket prices and prizes in half and began drawing its lottery winners weekly rather than monthly, sweepstakes supporters predict- ed the faster action would lure more bettors. It has. Under the old $1 monthly drawings-with a top prize of $100,000-the state averaged 3.5 million a month in ticket sales. In the first month and a half of the 50-cent lottery-with a top prize of $50,000 - weekly ticket sales have climbed past the five million mark. On a monthly basis, the 20 million 50-cent tickets produce about three times the income than did the 3.5 million in $1 tickets. At the current rate, the oe “A“, e w Ice building up at road crossings h recently. One such mishap occurred at the Sne Penn-Central engine was de-railed.

Gaill- man said Thursday. ''It looks as though we have a real winner in our new weekly lottery,\ Gallman said. \At the present rate of growth, we should exceed the $55 million budget estimate in the coming fiscal year.\ - Ticket sales during the first six weeks of the weekly sweep- stakes have totalled $12.8 mil- lion, with a net profit of $5.7 mflhon for the state, Gallman said. Sales have risen steadily from the 3.2 million tickets sold in the first week - and sales broke the five million mark for Thursday's drawing, he said. or Illegal im-Cor The district attorney's office _ Chou's Ple -Is Frlendsh|p Wants Norma/Ila tlon For U.S., China By HELEN THOMAS PEKING (UPI) - Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai pledged tonight after four days of in- tensive summit talks with President Nixon to \work un- swervingly\\ to promote friend- ship and normalization of relations with the United States. Nixon, noticeably fatigued and somber, said in a banquet toast a few hours after the latest meeting with Chou that he hoped ''peace and harmony can be the _ destiny of our two peoples.\ Nixon expressed hope during his remarks, at the banquet he hosted in the Great Hall of the People, for \a new world order in which nations of people with different systems and different values can live together in peace...letting history rather than the battlefield be the judge of their different ideas.\ The President told Chou and the other guests: \We began our talks recognizing that we have Medina Housing Funds OK'd Mayor John Cobb said last great differences But we are determined that those dif- ferences will not prevent us from living together in peace.\ Nixon Speaks First In response, Chou agreed with Nixon there are wide differences between the two systems of Lynch Scores Demo Absence at Office ALBION-In a letter to the Board of Supervisors yesterday Republican Commissioner Gerald Lynch of the County Board of Elections called at- tention to a situation that was created . in the Registration Office the week of February 14-19. _ States Commissioner Lynch in his letter: \During this week the office was not viable for five full business days. The Democratic side was not covered though the Republican side of the aisle was staffed and ready for business. \We are now in the period of Central Registration-probably - our one most important function. Rep. Conable's assurance of has indicated it will prosecute night he had received telephone HUD money for public housing the case. Japan Said Nervous Over Nixon Junket TOKYO (UPT)-Japan is as nervous as a new bride and as hurt as a rejected suitor over President Nixon's trip to China but it's top men can't officially say a word against the visit. Nixon's trip is especially tough on Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, 70, who has been trying to mend the longtime rift between Japan and China for several years. Each time he tries, however, Chinese officials say the two countries will never be friends as long as Sato is in office. In this mood earlier this week, Sato glumly watched television coverage of Nixon's arrival in Peking. His reaction, according to Japanese news reports, was a sarcasti¢ com- ment. \Well Nixon himself says it's the great event of the century, so perhaps it may be true. Circumstances do not permit me to say,\\ Sato was quoted as saying. There has been no official comment on the trip and none is expected. At the same time, there have been definite Japanese moves to expand their relations and perhaps shed some of the dependence on the United States which has grown since World War II.

Women Demanding Probe Of Attica Assaults ATTICA, N. Y. (UPD) - A women's group supporting prison guards demanded Thurs- day night that State Correction Commissioner Russell G. Oswald conduct an immediate investiga- tion into their claim that an Attica inmate assaulted guards and then alleged the guards struck him. \We are of the opinion that our husbands and the inmates arein extreme danger as long as these assaults are not reveal- ed to the public,\ said Women In Support of State Corrections Employes (WISSCE). \The morale of the officers is at a low ebb and if immediate action is not taken, then stronger measures may be taken by the correctional employes,\ the group warned in a statement by its executive board. __ A spokesman for WISSCE claimed officers were assaulted by an Attica inmate on Feb. 17, but that the - Correctional Services Department \took no action as for pressing charges against the inmate.\ . Instead, WISSCE claimed, the inmate charged that guards assaulted him in violation of a court order against the abuse of inmates, and took his complamt to U.S. District Court in Buffalo. On Wednesday, Judge John T. Curtin ordered state prison of- ficials to show cause at a hear- ing scheduled for March 3 why they should not be held in contempt of the court order. The show cause hearing was called after an attorney for three Attica inmates alleged the inmates were assaulted by prison guards. \We demand an immediate investigation regarding the as- sault of officers at the Attica Correctional Facility on Thurs- day, Feb. 17,\ WISSCE said in a telegram to Oswald, 'Why was there no action taken prior to the inmate charges against officers in fed- eral court?\ the group asked. Copies of the telegram to Oswald were sent to various state officials, including Gover- nor Rockefeller, Senate Majority Leader Earl W. Brydges, Assemblyman James L. Emery of Geneseo and Sen. Thomas F. McGowan of Buffalo, all Repub- licans, who were asked \please mvest’ igate and advise.\ The WISSCE statement was contained in a letter to western New York news media. Mail-Order Degree ALBANY, N.Y. (UPT)-If you can't afford to spend two or four years in college, New York State is now offering a degree through the mail for those who qualify. . The Board of Regents Thurs- day set up two \external\ degrees, which will let persons win their sheepskins without necessarily enrolling at a State University campus. All the applicant has to do is pass certain tests, in combina- tion with some college credits, independent study, or even schooling by the U.S. Armed Forces Institute. The student thus avoids the expense and time lost for regular enrollment. At the same time, the State University can build fewer dorms, labs and classrooms. The first two external degrees, announced by Education Com- missioner Ewald B. Nyquist, are an associate in arts, and a bachelor of science in business administration. Nyquist said there have been 20,000 inquiries about the new degrees since the concept was offered one year ago. The re- quirements were drawn by 300 SUNY faculty members under $800,000 in grants from the Carnegie Corp., and the Ford Foundation. - \Regents' external degrees will provide an alternate route to a college degree , \In some ways, I think it's going to be harder to acquire a degree this way than going in _ lockstep, sitting in a classroom for four years.\ During the week seven in- dividuals appeared to register. They were turned away because no member of the, Democratic party was present to record and certify the information given. “Regrstratmns were not ac- cepted since Section 355 of the 1971-1972 New York State Election Law could not be followed. I quote in part 'The board of elections shall keep its office open to receive registrations at all such times and shall, at all such times, keep. in attendance at least two members or employees of the board authorized by the board to receive registrations, one such member or employee representing each of the two political parties which, at the last preceding election for governor, cast the highest and the next highest number of votes. \Our Superivsors was determined, in effect, by two votes. Last week seven Orleans County voters could not register because no member of the Democrauc party was in attendance.\ Attending the annual seminar of the Department of State on Elections at Grossingers in the You Eat All But The Peking Duck's Quack!

Then duck giblets and hearts followed by soup made of duck entrails.

It can be heaped on: thm pancakes with sliced green onions and plum sauce, rolled - and enjoyed. It was followed - by a concoction of duck's brains which was served along with the duck's head, and yet another 'soup made of duck. bones. All of it was washed down with tumblers of beer, orange soda, glasses of sweet red wine, fiery Mao Tai and Creme de - Menthe, the latter: three lifted to shouts of '\'\bottoms up.\ The chef also threw in fried \gan bei\ Have A Chuckle Pee 'TAVISTOCK, England (UPI) - Ernest Oxland said he had no trouble with his new car until he changed his front tire for a spare.

However, no official business could be transacted because there was not a similar substitute provided by the Democratic Commissioner and the election law states that both 'major political parties must be represended at all times that the office of the Board of Election is officially open. Commissioner Lynch revealed that the practice of leaving the Democratic half of the office without representation has been a continuing one. Asserts Lynch \As early as June 4, 1971, I in- formed Commissioner Monacelli of this fact and he replied that it was not necessary as he was saving the county money by not designating a substitute. In a letter to Monacelli he stated: \This is to advise you that I will turn away all registrants when a representative of the two major parties are not in attendance to accept registrations-it grieves me to not properly serve the public. It has been a lifetime policy of mine to properly serve clients and customers.\ Concludes Commissioner Lynch \Had Commissioner Monacelli wanted to save the county money either he or his clerk or both would have remained at home.
