Dear Friends


Dear Friends:
AS you know, after reading "In
the Air Force" for 10 months, we
love our life in the service but
there are parts of it that differ
from our life at home with you.
First of all, when your husband
is in the service it is taken as a
matter of course that you will move
frequently. We have been "in"
since March 1851 and during those
two and a+half years we have had
four homes. So you buy things that
will be sturdy enough for travelling
and you also buy with the idea that
it will be serviceable in your pres
ent home as well as your future
homes.
For example; when we lived in
Milford I had plastic cannisters in
my kitchen. 1t only took one move
to know that metal or tin cannis-
ters were the practical ones for
moving around. / have wanted a
freezer ever since I got married
and last spring we bought one. but
we couldn't buy a big one because
we never know what size our next
kitchen will be and we had to buy
one small enough to fit into a
small area. And while we're sneak
ing OF the freezer, you rather have
TO buy with caution when you're
hIllng 1T, in case, on the spur of
the moment your mate should come
nome with orders to move on. The
moving men are supposed to plug
IN your freezer each night on the
road while they sleep, but after
the abuse some of our furniture
mas gotten would be afraid TO
trust some of the van lines and
would fear that the frozen. goods
mad thawed enroute, so I try ia
have our freezer empty wher it's
time to transfer.
Many Air Force families own
their own refrigerator but usually
Wherry Housing is equipped in the
kitchen and that is not necessary
We have friends who own apart.
ment size gas and electric stoves
Here gas is cheap and the kitchens
are "rigged" for gas stoves. but
often they are set up for electric

new chemical compounds. They
will be used for everything, from
houses and bridges down to auto
mobiles, and even soft goods.

New Metals and Alloys. There are
less than 100 elements, but these
can be put together in millions
of different alloys, of which only
small fraction has now been
tested. These new alloys offer great
opportunities for development.

DO IT YOURSELF PLAN IS GROWING


One Of the revealing phenomena of the
tlmes-and one whose significance the econo-
mists and social historians haven't adequately
covered as yet-has been the astonishing
growth Of the "dO-it-yourself'' movement.
Millions OF people, male and female alike no
longer rush to the phone to call a mechanic
or craftsman when something goes wrong.
They do it themselves their efforts run
the gamut from minor repairs to the plumb
ing to constructing whole house with little
or no outside help.
The most obvious reason for this is
econOmlc-the cost of labor. But it isn't the
only reason. The five-day week has given
the bulk of people far more leisure than they
used to have, and thus the opportunity to do
something besides rest up on their off-time.
Furthermore, once people start doing some
OF the things for themselves that they used to
hire others to do, and learn that they can wind
up with an acceptable Job, they enjoy it and
find an abiding satisfaction in it. They can
point to the result with pride. Finally, the
manufacturers of all kinds of goods, seeing
this vast new market, naturally have jumped.
IN and made dO-it-yOurself great deal easier
and less fOrbidding than it used to be. New
kinds of wallpaper and paint applcatOrs :;
small power tools for the home; new types of
building materials these and thousand and
one other wares for the nOnprofessiona
repairman and builder are now universally
sold. Many big-scale and small-scale adver-
tlsers stress dO-it-yOurself. And the publish
ing OF books which show through relatively
simple texts and diagrams how to plumb, wire
carpenter, and so on has become substantial
business.
Sometime ago a National Magazine pub
lished an article by a man who described how,
because of present day prices coupled with the
need to maintain comparatively high living
standards, he and his family were going broke
on an income of $4,000 year. The October
issue of that magazine carries an article,
entitled We've Found a Substitute for In

TTRRB's the tire that looks bigger because
/ / it is bigger. And it will do a great job
for you in any type of farming.
The new B. F. Goodrich Power Grip tire
has bigger cleats and bigger shoulders. The
knife-action cleats and king-si shoulders
give deep penetration. And once the cleats
are in the ground, there's bigger cleat face

Measure the big, broad tread of the Power
Grip tire. You'll find that no leading make
of tire is wider than Powef-Grip. This means
that the tire has larger footprint, gives greater
fotation. Count the cleats ON leading makes.
You'll find that time after time, the BIG
tire has more cIeatS than other makes. More
cleats to give better bite.

.FREAR FAV0RS
TRADE PACK
Senator Favors Extension of
Reciprocal Trade Pro-
gram
gram
CITES SAFEGUARDS

United States Senator j. Allen
Frear this week indicated that he
favored an extension of the Reci-
procal Trade Program. A request
for a one year extension of the
Program was recently made to
Congress by the President. In a
statement from Washington, Mr..
Frear presented series of argu-
ments on both sides of the ques-
tion. He pointed out that legisla-
tion is now pending to restrict i'm
ports of certain commodities and
to place excessively high tariffs
upon others. The Senator recogn-
ized the fact that some American
industries could suffer badly
through an unrestricted flow of
foreign made goods. However, he
pointed out that safeguards exist
under the Trade Program which
are intended to protect American
business men from excessive for
eign competition. On the affirma-
tive side of the question, the Sem
ator expressed the view that a
healthy program of trade among
the free nations of the world is
to the respective eco
nomics of all participating coun-
tries, and is a better device than
continuing large amounts of direct
aid which the United States has
been making, particularly to West
ern Europe. Senator Frear added
that no country is completely self
sufficient, and that the United
States, like other nations, is re-
quired to import articles of food
and many other commodities. At
the same time, he urged careful ap-
plication of the Reciprocal Trade
Program so as to protect both
and labor in those in
dustries which necessarily compete
with foreign made producers for
the world markets. In conclusion,
Mr.. Frear stressed that trade with
communist countries should be a
exception. "As far as +
am concerned" he said, "commun-
list nations can be left to wither on
the economic vine. They deserve
no benefits of world
trade, because of their ruthless ag-
gression and opposition to the
of individual freedom
and human justice"

lust AZ EnSiLN2

And now do you realize what
this new type Of plant food means
to you If you are a person who
loves flowers? It means that today
you can send your child out with
his sprinkling can to spray a few
leaveS-and in 10 splash happy
minutes he can revitalize your
whole lawn and garden :. give
you miracle results you never
dreamed possible in just 7 days!
It means that whether you're
an expert gardener or the green
est beginner-now YOU can make
plants bloom like magic with just
sprinkle or two Of this ridicu-
lousy inexpensive plant food Of
the RX-15 type!
This new type of plant food
means that you can grow masses
of beautiful roses, dahlias, phlox,
gladiolus and chrysanthemums in
your garden this season with
nothing more than a sprinkling
of this miraculous plant food once
or twice a month. It means that
with few sprinklings Of RX-15,
you can pick baskets full Of all
kinds of vegetables juicy to-
matoes, massive heads Of lettuce,
cabbages, luscious corn, peas and
strawberries from a patch no
bigger than one-car garage, in

New sGro,Oth' Ingredient Makes RX-l5 the
Only Plant Food Guaranteed to Start
Work in Less Than 90 Seconds

Have you ever wondered how
some gardeners grow so many
flowers with so little work even
in undernourished soil? And why
you can never grow many flowers
no matter how carefully you plant
your seeds, no matter how many
expensive plant foods you feed
your flowers, no matter how many
hours you slave in your garden?
What's the answer? Believe it
or not, you can feed your plants
tons of fertilizers you can en-
rich your soil with the best soil
cOnditioqers - you can give your
garden all the sun and water it
needs . and still YOU MAY BE
STARVING YOUR PLANTS TO
DEATH! How is it possible? Up
to now, if your soil was deficient
in either iron, copper, zinc or
manganese it was extremely diff
ficult to feed your plants all the
elements vital to healthy growth.
Did you ever try to eat a green,
half-ripe apple? 1t has all the
same vitamins and minerals of q
delicious red, ripe apple-but you
can't digest it! And for thou
sands of years science has known
that there was absolutely NO
complete fertilizer no matter
how rich in minerals-that could
be properly absorbed by plants.
There was absolutely no complete
plant food or fertilizer that could
guarantee to feed plants all the
vital. life-giving minerals every
plant needs for masses Of bloom.
