Country kitchens are places of
sheer delight . in September. Sunlight
filters through windows clustered with
ivy ancr flowering plants to dapple •the
piles of garden produce. The scents,
smells and sounds prove the art of can-
. •ning,•.
an-.'ning,; pickling and preserving 'is not
completely lost.
• The spicy scent betrays tomatoes
bubbling in kettles _and being :trans-
formed into chili sauce. Sunlight makes
jewels of corn kernels, 'speckled • with
flecks of green and red pepper - in jars
, labelled "Corn Relish -67" -with a Iov-
'ng care rivalling` a vintner's pride lin a

the kitchen
is the e im t e when baskets of
fruit and vegetables may even .be
crowded into tiny, apartment kitchens.
It is 'harvest time and most women
rspond instictively to preparation, for
the -bleak season of winter. They pride-
fully know that none of man's devices
end processes •for mass preservation of
produce of the harevst can really touch
the simple one• that includes a woman's
b; nediction.
On a blustery day when winter
sa�ms permanent theme*,will be reward-
ed by family and husbandly response
to a jar of home pickles or preserves.
It will have in it the subtle essence of
sunl'-ght,• full harvest flavor and the,
satisfaction of a September kitchen.—.

Britain's Labor government has
' just taken a drubbing • at the annual
conference of the Trades Union Con-
, gress — although there was never any
question of the unions switching their
allegiance to the Conservatives. Even
within the, Labor Party itself, murmur-
ing against Prime Minister Harold Wil-
son — particularly from the left •- is
more audible than, at any time since
he took up residence in Downing
Street. Mr. Wilson's assumption of con-
trol at the Department of Economic Af-
fairs is an indirect admission that gov-
ernment economic policy is still in the
toils, after three years •with Labor at
the controls: And abroad, one has only'

minded of the frustration' of Labor
hopes;
At first sight, this would seem to
make Labor unusually vulnerable to
seige or onslaught from the Conserva-
tive Opposition. Yet Opposition leader.

We cannot be too disapproving of
the Texas millionaire who is reported
to have put ina bid to buy London
Bridge. Like all avid collectors, he just
wants to take it home. (We assume he
has a suitable river for it or will acquire
one.) . '
But somehow we can't picture
London Bridge in Texas. It seems only
proper that the span which has figured
in the singing games of countless chil-
dren for generations should stay in, its
own city, or at least in its own country.
We know the British must regret
the necessity for replacing the historic
structure. They have little choice. Even
though it was widened some 60 years
ago, its fournarrow lanes can no longer
cope with traffic. The new bridge
scheduled for 1970 is a necessity.
British authorities show their re--
spect for, the old bridge, by insisting
it not' be sold piecemeal. It will go to
the bidder who will buy the entire
SiIence
•tives plenty of time: But Mr. Heath will
need to show greater political flair than
hitherto to be able to exploit Labor's
vulnerability when next the British.
c I e.ctorate is consulted.
Mr. Heath's appointment of a new
party chairman is obviously part of his
plan to Conserv ve - l aok.....to
office. But even with this, events — or
somebody's sniping behind the scenes
—seemed to' conspire to fuzz up any
image of buoyant decisiveness which
the move 'was intended to establish.
Last year, when a change in the party
chairmanship was in the air, Mr. Heath
was impeded -by a mature and per-
haps tendentious pfeii leak—from `do-
ing anything at all. This year, there has
been a similar • leak. Mr. Heath went
ahead with the change .this time—but
made the mistakeof overreacting to the
newspaper report.
Many of Prime Minister Wilson's
critics abhor him for what they think is
his excessively clever political sleight.

Mr. Heath to pattern- himself lock, stock

political flair.

An insurance company in Lansing,
Mich., has instituted a "quiet hour"
among its employees. _
From the time work starts at 8
a.m. until 9 a.m.,• everyone ignores
everyone else, no one walks' round,
no interdepartment contacts are made
and no outgoing phone' calls are
allowed.
The quiet hour is said to have
greatly increased efficiency by elim-
iriating many man hours of work -
postponing small talk. Other
are reported to be interested in the
plan.
