Nylon netting is used for Army sleeping hammocks in the South Pacific because it doesn't appeal to termites, and because it resists mold, dries quickly, is mildew- proof, and weighs less than cotton, although it has nearly twice it's tensile strengh.

THIS BUSINESS OF LIVING
-sy SUSAN THAYER

And there'll be important uses
beside entertainment Department
stores can put receivers in soda
fountains and lounges and restau-
rants, and you'll see a fashion show
while you sip your drink.
In medical schools they're talk
ing of hanging television camera
above the operating table, so that
lot of students can have a close
up of what's going on by seeing it
on a screen.
We can't even begin to imagine
the uses of television that will re-
design the pattern of our lives, just
as automobiles and movies and ra-
dio did. And sooner, than we think.
For industry has its plans well laid
for the switch to peacetime electron-
les, when its genius is no longer
needed to bring the war to victory.

Some of the changes that affect
our lives profoundly come about so
casually that in day it's hard to
realize things were ever different
In our house, for example, one of
the old electric fixtures has gas Jets
too. II was installed when the house
was built, for though the builder
had wired the house, electric cur
rent had not reached our street. Be-
sides, who would think of being
without gas jets, with these unde-
pendable new tangled lights!
Then Zone day the current came
on. We turned off the old gas jets
and never turned them back on.
How dreary and queer the house
would seem the old way!
/ have feeling it's going to be
like that with television. Suddenly
television will be a commonplace.
Thousands will earn their living at
this mysterious business that is
still pure fantasy to most of us.
Well be buying furniture that
we can shove around to face a
television screen, and designing our
living room accordingly. Well be
getting Grapes that will shut out

GOOD READING FOR THE WEEK

rich with the joys and sorrows of
rural life, of working with the hired
man, of raising dogs, of visiting with
the neighbors. 1t is book that will
delight anyone who has ever planted
so much as a radish-or anyone who
hasn't, for that matter. Webster says
humus is a valuable constituent of

soil is winter-chilled, war-weary,
tax-parched, or just plain tired, a
perusal of this book will do it con-
siderable good.
Pennsylvania Dutch Stuff, by Earl
Robacker, will be of especial inter
est to local collectors of antiques.
Much interest has recently developed
in Pennsylvania Dutch furniture and
art and while numerous magazine
articles have been written on this
subject, this is the first book to deal
with it. The writer introduces his
volume with general discussion
of characteristic Dutch art forms
and craftsmanship. Then he goes on
into more detailed explanation of
typical pieces of furniture, china, tin
ware, glass, coverlets and ornamen-
tai objects, and gives the rules for
collector to keep in mind when
