Belgium Fears Schuman Plan Might Ruin Its Coal Market
Brussels - (U-P) - Tiny Belgium still thinks it might have more to lose by the Schuman Plan than any other country in Europe.
Belgium does not plan to ratify it just because the French have done so.
The plan for a European coal and steel pool is still in committee. There is no sign that it will be brought before the full parliament before the middle of January, at least. Holland as well as France has already ratified the plan.
Bulgium has the most expensive coal on the continent and would not even initial the Schuman treaty earlier this year until special protection was given her industry. Now there is a widespread feeling that the protection clauses were not made watertight.
2. The Schuman Plan is unconstitutional
1. High-cost Belgian coal would be unable to compete in the market and the nation would be swamped with cheaper coal from Germany and other countries.

Millis, Mass.—(U.P.) The ages of the eight brothers and sisters of the Russell family total 655 years, making their average age 82 years. They are: Eli Russell, 94, Syracuse, N. Y.; George Russell, 88, Medford, Mass; Mrs. Amelia Clark, 86, Millis; Mrs. Mary Badger, 84, Boston; Mrs. Angelina Amlott, 80, Malone, N.

East Sandwich, Mass.—(U.P.)—When Mrs. Clara Marchant found herself with 12 children and a disabled husband on her hands nearly 25 years ago she didn't have time to wait for her ship to come in.
She just went ahead and built her own ship. In fact, this winter the 66-year old grandmother expects to build 500 clippers, barkentines, schooners, or about any sailing ship you can name.
Many observers here feel that the three per cent restriction would not work in practice. One of the top members of the coal industry also charged recently that 75 per cent of Belgian mines would have to close down under the Schuman Plan.
Paris Foundation Offers Scholarships To American Students In Art, Music
They're models, of course, but they have made her world famous. Her roadside shack with the swinging sign "Clara Marchant—Ship Models" is besieged through the summer by Cane Cod tourists, in quest of her bottled clipper ships. Her scale models have "made port" in as far-off places as South Africa.
Grandma Makes Whittling Pay
Back in 1927 it was sink or swim, so she took an old jackhive and a piece of soft pine and set up shop. It paid off to the extent that she raised her 12 children and can now boast a brood of 30 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests No.31...THE MOUNTAIN GOAT
He thought they were trying to make him the butt-end of a joke when he was asked to judge cigarette mildness with a mere puff of one brand and a quick sniff of another. The fancy foot-work didn't dazzle him! He knew that the pinnacle of pleasure comes from steady smoking...and that there is only one test that gives you enough time to permit conclusive proof. Smokers throughout America have made the same decision!
It's the sensible test...the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels on a day-after-day, pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments! Once you've tried Camels for 30 days in your "T-Zone" (T for Throat,T for Taste), you'll see why...
After all the Mildness Tests...
Camel leads all other brands by billions
