THE HOME

De urdQeQ IN LOT a new one every
three or four years. 1t will be made
of paper and plastics and will be de-
livered in packages. assembled at
high speed and have a prescribed
"trade-in value" each year.
We assume it will be ordered by
color, with a Duco finish. and tkat
every little while pop will hear NOM
mer say: "Now remember. Ch;Hscy.
this is the day you wash and simonize
the bungalow"
Can't you imagine the situation
when considering the Home of the
Future? The folks will be sitting
around the old (aged three years.
homestead:
Mom-What was that?
Pop-What was what?
Mom-That funny noise I keep
hearing.
Pop-Oh, that's the house. It's be-
ginning to RATTLE.
Mom-Yes, and it's full Of
squeaks. I suppose we ought to take
it in and have it frightened up.
Pop-How long have we had this
home?
Mom-Lemme see . they de-
livered it three years ago Fourth of
July.
Pop-Well. there amt much sense
trying to 60 on in a house much
longer than that. It's stood up pref
ty well.
Mom-I don't agree with you. We
had trouble with this house from the
minute they delivered it. It never
was what you'd call a smooth job.
Pop-You didn't take the care of
it that you should.
Mom-Now don't 60 giving me
that stuff. I was very careful about
this place.
Pop-Well. I guess I'll phone the
builder and see about getting a new
me-. They've got some pretty smart
houses on the market this season..
Mom-Mrs. Maloney just got a
new home and it would knock your
eye out. It's got sensationally new
lines and ONE in three colors. 1t
is heated by radio.
Pop-That's nuthin'. They're turn
ing out a house now that's heated
by television.
Mom-I read about a seven-room
job where you can raise or lower the
windows by pressing a button.
Pop-And they say there's a model
out this year with a gadget which
installs or removes the screens by
hydraulic pump.
Mom-What do you think they'd
allow us on this place?
Pop-Oh, about so per cent of the
original purchase price, l suppose.
I'll have the man come over and
appraise it. What are you doing to-
morrow?
Mom-Why?
Pop-1 thought maybe we could go
down and look at a new house and
maybe take a DEMONSTRATION!

that office. 1t would be nice, too. to
be able to look at the little girl

We a imagine the women max.

Says Elmer Twitchell-
The rubber shortage doesn't seem
so critical now after we have chewed
on the wing and neck of the holiday
birds.
Some Of the turkeys we have seen
look as if they were retreads.
That tie-up racket persists. We
went into a store to buy a turkey
yesterday and the butcher tried to
make us take a goose. a pigeon. a
rabbit and some pigs feet as we'll.
The Nazis have a new war weapon,
the most terrible of all time. And
gosh are they scared of it!
