BWlt-ln Pine CGbinetIUOrk Stretches
Floor Space In Attic Room,

The top sketch shows how to make
the most of limited floor space when
finishing an attic. Bottom, mineral
wool insulation is installed between
rafters.
When a family outgrows its pres
ent quarters, the attic may be the
answer to its space needs. The sketch
above shows simple, economical
plan for turning bare attic into an
attractive bedtoom-study for two
boys or girls.
Maximum floor area is preserved
by building twin cabinets or chests
of drawers into the walls under the
caves, and setting desks and bunk
beds against the walls. Stock cabi-
nets of ponderosa pine are available,
knocked down, or fully assembled,
which are easy to build in under the
roof rafters.
The window seat should have
lift-up top so that it can double as
storage box for toys and sports
equipment. Storage drawers are built
under the hunks, too.
A large double-hung window unit

smooth, light surface of this wood

BIuftOn LibrGry's Book Tree" Stunt
DeScribed/In National Library Magazine

How Bluffto9s librarian, Miss ocie
Anderson, used "Book Tree" to Gre
ate an incentive among elementary
school children to ead more books is
explained in an illustrated item in
the April issue of the Wilson Library
Bulletin, national magazine for Ii
brary people.
The article states that Bluffton
children hung the leaves (colored
cards) on the branthes upon finishing
each book. The cards, on which were
spaces for the name of the child and
the title of the book, were prepared in
quantity. The strings were so at

tached that they could be easily
placed on the branches by the chill
dren, who could also make book char
acters to PLACE with their leaves or
underneath TIE tree.
The six-fo9t tree was placed in a
Christmas tree holder in the children's
room, with top branches used by the
children from upper grades and lower
ones by grades dne, two and three.
Miss Anderson said that the branch
es at first stood at 45 degree
angle with the trunB, but the lower
branches became so | heavily loaded
with colored leaves that they later

stood at little less than 90 degrees.
"The children were proud Of the
tree and did not want it removed from
their room,p the magazine explains.
The article is illustrated with a
photograph showing the tree and
five Bluffton children placing leaves
on it.

can readily be refnished.
To maintain a healthy tempera-
ture in a finished attic, complete in
sulation is "must." The first step,
before walls and ceiling are put in,
is to install mineral wool bats or
blankets between the roof rafters, as
shown in the BOTTOM drawing. This
insulation will pay for itself in a
few winters through lower fuel bills,
and will help to keep the attic cool,
and comfortable in the summer.

DETROIT. April 2.-Can hu-
mans be made resistant-or even
immune-to cancers?
There Is new hope that they
can.
Some Of the clues toward this
goal are coming from research
ut the Detroit Institute for Can
Ger Research.
Once In q great while. humans
spontaneously recover from seri-
Gus cancers. Their bodies did
something to win control over
the cancer. Scientists want to
learn what that mechanism was,
And some people, like animals,
are more susceptible to cancers
than others. If the reasons for
resistance can be pinpointed. q
persons resistance might be re-
built. Or the susceptible humans
might be detected early, and
their resistance increased.
Animal experiments in this
field were described today to
science writer's visiting cancer
centers under auspices Of the
American Cancer Society.
One study is whether mice sus-
ceptible to a breast cancer caused
by a virus can be vaccinated or
immunized against it. II viruSes
were found to cause human can

make cancer vaccines possible

gun. The recent pictures, taken in
many instances on the exact spots,
show how the city has changed. The
former site of an office building Is
now a playground, and whole indus
trial plants sprawl over areas that
were once residential, while housing
has been planned in a more orderly
fashion. The city's population is
again at the prewar level, and its in
dustry is thriving.
Though the citizens Of Hiroshima
wanted most of all to rebuild their
city, they were eager also to erect a
memorial to those who died in the
bombing. After much discussion they
decided to leave standing one build
ing-the Industrial Exposition Hall
that had been gutted. The concrete
shell of the walls and bare girders OF
the dome are an eloquent echo OF the

virtual shells of these.
Now, ten years later, Hiroshima has
made an impressive recovery. Except
for a couple of memorials that have
purposely been preserved, the town
shows no scars from the holocaust
that struck it. In fact, the city fathers
were able to plan better, more sub
stantial city. Total destruction in
many areas made it possible to design
wide avenues to replace narrow.
crooked streets. In place Of flimsy
wood construction, many of the homes
now have masonry walls, and CONNER
cial buildings are of the most modern
design.
Only by comparing the pictures
taken soon after the bomb dropped
with those Of present Hiroshima can
the full extent of the destruction and
rebuilding be grasped. Official Air

HIROSHIMA.
r EAFLETS warning the people OF
IL Hiroshima to clear out of their city
had been dropped well in advance.
But war was on, and the residents
had no mind to move, even II the
military forces would have allowed it.
Nothing worse than an ordinary bomb9
ing raid could happen anyway, they
thought.
Then, on August 6, 1945, B-2S
flashed over Hiroshima. It dropped a
single bomb.
Hiroshima became the first victim OF
the Atomic Age, and its name became
synonymous with the destructive
power of the atomic bomb. OF Hiro-
shima's wartime population Of over
286, 600 people, nearly half were killed
or injured. For nearly a mile in all
directions from ground zero, the town
