SIMPLE IN DESIGN

Postwar plumbing fixtures will
be simple and functional in design,
easy 10 clean. and without dirt
catching crevices, corners or
edges.
AT the same time. the new fix
lures will set new high standards
OF beauty and sanitation.
Similarly. plumb & fittings
such as faucets. shower heads and
valves. too, will be engineered for
easy maintenance.
Postwar shower heads, like the
best of prewar designs. will be so
constructed that simple turn OF
the face will permit the water 10
flush away all sediment. thus pro-
viding protection against the an
noyance of clogging.

Is Simplicity
Postwar Fixtures
Will Be easyto Clean

The preference of homemakers
who have been doing their own
homework during the war years
are being taken into consideration
by manufacturers in the design OF
postwar plumbing fixtures. the
Plumbing and Heating Industries
Bureau stated Saturday.
Housewives who have had TO do
their own cleaning work have
learned 10 appreciate the import
ance of simplicity in the design OF
plumbing fixtures. and this fact is
influencing the styling of postwar
sinks, lavatories. baths. laundry
trays and other plumbing fixtures,
the bureau says.

OTHER FINDINGS

Other findings. in the first of
three sections Of the survey to be
released. included: a widespread
showing of industrial initiative in
planning new postwar products.
often requiring new plant con-
struction; increasing concern for
the continuing deterioration OF
property under wartime condi-
tons; and an expectation of the
larger cities for increased popu-
-iation and decreased employment
in the first five postwar years.
The association reported the
following detailed conclusion OF
the survey:
Real Estate Prices for 1945:
More than half of the reporting
cities expect residential property
prices to go niger and four out OF
five war centers expect such an
increase.
Housing pressure in communi-
ties under rent control is such that
SO per cent of these foresee higher
prices for dwellings.

By "Bystander"

Last Saturdays dance was a
huge success at Slovenian Ma
tional Home on St. Clair Ave.
Many old as we'll as new faces
were seen at the dance.
For example, Steffie Chum-
brick and Ed Kalmanek were
there. Steffie kept conversing
with friend Norman "Corky"
Korzenowski, while Ed was Civ
ing his phone number to all his
female acquaintances.
Then there was Chuckie
Vidmar who kept dancing with
blondes. That fella must nave
a mania for those fair maidens.
Eleanor Swistock, a Lake
woodite, kept wishing that
some Of those wall decorators"
would ask her to dance.
Really fellas, the girls would
love to see your anatomies
parked in the Hall of Fame,
but they don't like to see them
holding up the walls of a dance
hall.
A lovely pair of legs kept
dancing all evening, and they
belonged to Julia Kosec. Some
day Julia, you might land a
contract with M.G.M.

ter was a~brunette. Who is she
Johnny?
Annie Hocevar was found
gazing at her herman Willy Sr-
nick, while Willy was busy
''beating out" his tom-toms.
Paul Kovac and John Ceh
were seen tearing their shoe
leather on the dance floor.
Since the dance was spon-
sored by Glasbena Matica, it is
appropriate to spotlight some
of it's personalities.
Petite Carolyn Budan was
looking sweeter than ever, and
incidentally, her voice blends in
beautifully with her charm.
Mrs. Frank Plut was seen
gliding on the floor with Her.

What would happen if Tes-

the industrial world is best ex-
planned in a book on induction
motor by Tesla's fellow scien-
tist DR.. B. A. Behrend: "'Were
we to eliminate from our indus

las work, the wheel of industry
would cease to turn, our cleo
trio trains and cars would stop,
our towns would be dark, our
mills and factories dead and
idle. So far-reaching is his work
that it has become the warp and
woof of industry. Should Tes-
las work be suddenly with
drawn, darkness would prevail
and we would slump into bar
barism."
