to the new cooking ware, by

Time Marches On
At the Armory
BY JACK JONAS

There was a time when a
man could throw a few logs
together for a house, lay In a
sack of meal and a side Of
bacon, buy the wife an iron
kettle, and he was in business
as a happy home owner.
But not any more. Now he's
got to make decisions, and
know all about machinery.
This sort of thing is in sharp
focus at the Armory where
the Home Show is displaying
dazzling gadgets that viii lead
to a lot of domestic quarrels
in weeks to come.
The gas people, for example,
rub elbows with the electric
people, acclaiming the adj
vantages of gas. trying to
drown out the drawing power
of the electric peoples glori-
fed Bingo game, a range
complete with lights - and
electric, of course.
Decisions, decisions.
A lumber company pushes
do-it-yourself power tools,
with demonstrations of the
tools in the hands of experts.
Nearby a contractor asks, in
big red letters, why Do 1t
YOURSELF"
Another firm has what looks
like a thousand gadgets and
lawn products on display,
along with power mowers and
seeders. If looking at that
makes you tired, you can step
across the aisle and find out
If they mean what 1t says
under the sign, Learn How to
Lay Brick" Then go home
and brick the lawn over.
Decisions, again.

It is reported that Mr.. Paul Butler,

second term the Democrats should
hold a great victory dinner and
ball i'm Washington celebrating the
retention of Democratic control in
Congress. This brilliant idea, natur-
ally, came from one of the great

According to the Journal, ex-
perts recently estimated Texas re-

A rough rule of-thumb is that it

would mean that the industry will
need 100 to $50 billion barrels of
water, and by far the largest chunk
of this need will arise in West
