ALL ACROSS THE STATE, thoughtful Mime
Sotans are talking about taconite Perhaps you'd IKE
to test your knowledge Of what may soon become one
Of our great industries
O. What on earth Is tacOnlte?
A. It's q hard virgin rock containing iron minerals.
Minnesota has billions Of tons Of it-cnough to
keep huge mining industry busy for generations.
q. Why bother with tacOnte when we have high
grade iron Ore7
because our hIgh-grade ore will not last forever.
Al present consumption, II could be used up 10
couple Of decades. That's why the iron ore Indus
try wants 10 turn 10 l0wgrade and tacOnits ores,
to extend the life Of the industry in Minnesota.
q. Why should people like Mr.. COy-far from
the Iron rRnge-care about tacOnlte develop
ment7
A. They that tAconite production could mean big
things for the entire state New jobs-bccauBo
taconite ore must be virtually manufactured, not
Just sh0Veled up. Important business for other
Minnesota industry-because manufacturing this
ore will call for plants and tools more power,
increased markets for farm products, more sup
plies Of all kinds
q. Then why not 20 ahead with tacOnite?
A. The present producers want 10 do just that and
are weighing the business risks involved. Already
they've sunk millions In research. But before they
put up the hundreds Of millions more required for
plants and equipment they want to be sure their
industry will have NJ good q chance AZ any other
industry In the state 10 recover tn investment.
q. What do the producers ask?
A. They ask only that their industry will be treated
like other Minnesota Indusry-that fair and stable
tax policies will prevail--thRt hIRhgrade, low
grade and tacone ore viii not be priced Of the
market by nl-adVsed legislation that Min
nesotans recognize that their iron industry,
for the first time, has serious competition.
Why We publish these f0efS
We Of the iron ore industry want TO stay In Mime
sOta-permanently
We want 10 insure the future Of MlnneSota'S iron
ore wealth by investing the millions Of dollars needed
hasten development Of low grade and taconite ores
We want TO help make possible for the people Of
Minnesota 10 enjoy even greater benefits from this
expanded industTy-both In dollars and iobs-for
many generations 10 come.
We publish these facts that matter who you
are where you live what you do for q living you

There is no way to keep a pro-
fessional burglar out of your house
if he wants to get in. The thing
to do is not to make him want to
get in, says a retired burglar after
20 years experience in the bust
ness. Answering questions about
his craft, in McCalls for June, he
tells John Barlow Martin that the
best precautions ere noises lights,
telephone, and reticence with
strangers about your possessions:
80. Is there any way to lock a
door or window securely enough
TO keep burglar out?
"a. No. Oh, a good lock makes
difference to an inexperienced
kid. But it doesn't mean thing to
somebody who knows what the score
is. l can take a knife-edge Still
son wrench, and l can screw a lock
out of any door you got in about
two minutes.
20. What if you haven't got a
wrench?
"a. Don't make any difference.
The smart burglar don't cahry bur-
glar tools anyway. He's got a nice
big cushion in his car. When l
put that silk cushion next to that
glass door or window and hit it,
I've made a hole. The cushion has
followed the glass in and made it
soundproof.
20. You mean a home-owner
can't keep a burglar out?
"a. There's no way to keep him
cut if he wants in. The thing to
do is not make him want in.
GAS long as you can keep pro-
fessional theft in ignorance of
what's in your home, you're safe.
"For instance, the delivery boy
comes in with a COD, so the
lady of the house says, ooh, wait
minute. / have to run into the
bedroom to get change Now that
boy he's all right. He works for
living. But what does he talk
about? His work. Sothe chances
are he's gonna pass that informa-
ton on to some character that's
making living by stealing.
%. What else?
"a. The worst thing you can do
if you're going out for the evening
for dinner is to leave just your
hallway light on or leave all your
lights off. Electricity is cheap. You
can't afford not to leave it on.
20. Evening is the best time for
g burglary?
ga. That depends. You take
Sunday morning, that's a good
