Senator Clinton P. Ander-
son painted a picture of Utopia
for the housewife of the future
yesterday.
He discussed everything
from meat that will be able to
be kept for 30 days without
refrigeration to the relieving
of brain tumors with the use
of atomic energy.
The Senator, who is chair
man of the Joint Committee
on Atomic Energy. spoke on
Atomic Energy in the Home. "
at a luncheon given by the
Women's National Democra-
tic Club.
More Leisure
There will be more leisure
for you and your family,
longer life for all of you and
more spare time to come to
Democratic Club luncheons."
said the Senator about the
peaceful use of Atomic Energy.
He said potatoes could be
treated so that they wouldn't
spoil or need any kind of spe-
cial care.
The same will be true of
meat-no more fear Of trichi-
noSis in pork. Being able to
keep meat up to 80 days with
out danger OF spoilage could
in turn cut down on the price
of meat. he pointed out.
These revolutionary ideas
can effect clothing as well. the
speaker added. There will be
new type Of spray used on
garments before they are sold
which will mothproof them
for their lifetime. I'm in
favor of that" said the Sen
ator.
He pointed out that the
most important thing will be
better health.
With the use of boron a man
suffering with a brain tumor
can look forward to skipping
even an operation. He may be
able to take boron. lie down
for 80 minutes, get up and
walk away greatly improved.
