I'm THE AIR FORCE"
BY EioIne townsend DIcksrson

While they were waiting for their
sumptuous meal to be complete the
girls ran back to their bed and their
daddy's and made them. 1t was a
very efficient trio. Am sure shall
be missed. but was surely assured,
too, that they will make out Just
fine without me.
Am having an easy day today.
Tonight we're going out to dinner.
The DR.. John Richardson's and us
are invited to Mayo Street to have
dinner with the Ed Longinans,
who are formerly from Ohio, but
are currently stationed at Forbes.
Ed is sportsman and tonight
we're eating some of his game
pheasant no less. This sixsome of
ours has dinner together regularly
and spends the rest of the evening
playing cards.
Tomorrow afternoon from five
to six. Joy Baugh, the girls and l
are going to our newly renovated
Officers Club and see spectacular
fall fashion show. Several girls
from our bridge club are models
and it should be an especially nice
affair. They say the club is really
plush and I'm anxious to see it.
It's a gorgeous fall day here
today Maximum temperature
should be 650. Lynne and Dawn
have gone on their bikes to near
by shopping center Hayes is plant
ing flower bulbs in the garden and
it's time for me to lend him moral
support. Our friend, and my doc
tor, has already called to say he is
leaving for Lawrence, Kansas this
afternoon to see u. of K.-Tulane
football game. Pretty nice of him
to report in to me. don't you think?
Until next week.
Always, ETD

BABSON DISCUSSES OCEAN WEALTH

with heavy cables to dredge the
floor of the ocean several miles
down. Many mines on land are
developing ore discovered a mile
or below the surface, while oil
wells extend down two or three
miles. The ocean which we know,
however, is only as far down as
fishermen can operate nest and
draggers, the distance of a few
hundred feet. The Navy is just
waking up to the great Importance
of oceanography, as the next war
will be fought both in the air and
under the water.
| am pleased that the govern
ment has selected Gloucester, Mass
achusetts, where l was born and
raised, as the location of its fish
cries laboratory. This 1aboratory's
first work will be in connection with
discovering, catching, processing,
and marketing fish products. / hope,
however, it will begin the study of
the wealth of the ocean in other
ways, as is now being done in Afri-
ca. Readers will probably be offered
stocks of new companies which will
build private laboratories in the
u. s., because a cubic mile of sea
water contains more than 100000
tons of useful essential chemicals.
The most active u. S. company in
this field today is the Dow Chemi-
cal Company, which has been sue
cessful securing magnesium from
sea water. Recently Merck and Co.,
has been using this product to pro-
duce milk of magnesia, citrate of
magnesia, and antacid powders.
These last are extensively used
in making steel, rubber and ink.
I am giving special attention to
learning what Africa is doing along
these lines.
Opportunity For Chemists
Just now "electronics" is the
fad and many young men-not
properly equipped in mathematics
and physics-are rushing into this
new industry. If, however, I were
a young man just entering college,
/ would specialize in industrial
chemistry with special reference to
the oceans, which contain such huge
quantities of magnesium, bismuth.
iron and silver salts, and many
other valuable compounds. In addi-
tion to the industrial products, the
ocean provides vitamins for bread
and -four enrichment, antibiotics to
Milford chronicle., 1958-10-31

control infection, and stimulants
for farm feeds.
l have great respect for doctors,
but instead of training to be a doc
tor I should train to be chemist
or a manufacturer of pharmaceu-
tical products. Otherwise, should
attend a school of business admin
stration and learn to sell products
made in electronically controlled
automated factories or else the
chemicals found in the ocean or
air. Personally, 1 would rather be
in the selling end of the business
than in the manufacturing end if
lived in the United States. The
great opportunities in South Africa
should be to educate and capitalize
the huge native labor force for
manufacturing and exporting.
Where To Secure Profits
AS a hedge against imitation. I
purchased some land near Eureka,
Kansas, which has been planted to
alfalfa. This gives me three crops a
year, given normal rainfall. Most
of it is baled and sold for cattle
feed at about $4,000 per ton. Re-
Gently there has been a demand
from a man in Indiana who is will
ing to pay $25.00 a ton for finely
ground alfalfa. Checking through
this sale I find it is used for max
ing alfalfa tablets" which are
sold at my local Wellesley drug
store at $3.50 for two hundred tab
let's.
This means that when 1 buy
these tablets, am paying over
$1200.00 a ton for alfalfa which
1. sell at $25.00 ton! I am not
complaining about this profit, which
comes from the processing, but |
use it as an illustration that profit
in the U. S. comes from manufac-
turing and merchandising rather
than from agriculture. Another IL
lustration of what | have in m nd
is the great success of the Nutrilite
Company of Buena Park, California,
which has thousands of men and
women selling products which come
from the ocean, or from the land
or the air. I hope to find in Africa
even greater opportunities for
profit from products heretofore
wasted. The expectation of lobster
tails" to the United States is the
first to catch my eye.

Scatter Pillows Lend
Hand In Romance

Scatter pillows can make
teady-dating pair in the room of
my young modern. These little
girl and boy pillows are beguiling
md a nice change from animal
motifs that have been around for a
ime. If you get busy on this prof.
ct early, you can make pillows
or all the starry-eyed teen-aged
iris on your Christmas list, one
way to solve that "what-can-I-give-
MISUNDERSTANDING" problem.
Cotton feed or flour bags are
deal for stuffed pillows of this sort,
iay the experts at your local sew
ng center. Select two 25-pound
print sacks in bright prints. Pre-
lare them for sewing by ripping
he chain-stitched seams and soak
ing the bag in warm, soapy water
o remove labels or printed brand
names, then dry and press.
It's a good idea to embroider the
pillows before sewing them to-
gether. Cotton rug yarn is used for
the hair. Hair styles may be
changed to match the teen-ager
who will own the pillows. Such
styles as pigtails, pony tails, or
crew cuts can be done easily with
black, brown, red or yellow yarn

sewing machines or

Cape Town, South Africa, Oct.
80. Those who invest in mining
stocks should save a little money
for investment in companies ex-
tracing minerals from ocean, lakes
and rivers. Every student knows
that the oceans own incalculable
mineral and food wealth. The bot
toms of lakes have been collecting
minerals from the surrounding
watershed for thousands of years,
while gold and uranium is still be-
ing secured from river beds. But
this trip of II days from New York
to Cape Town has impressed me
especially foth the mineral wealth
of the oceans which cover three
fifths of the earth.
The Greatest Undiscovered
Treasures
The greatest boon to mankind
was the discovery of fire; then the
discovery of the wheel for trans
portation; then the discovery OF
steel and of electricity for indus
try. The latest great industries
have been in connection with the
telephone and the internal COM
bustion engine, both of which are
used by almost every householder.
Yet there are other far more i'm
portant things which few readers
realize. For instance, that an acre
of good sea floor can produce nine
tons of clam meat, against one ton
of beef, pork, or lamb on an acre
of pasturage. On land we farm only
a few inches of topsoil, but the
water turns out vegetable matter
in far greater quantities and OF far
greater value. The ocean has a pro-
ducing potential 200 times that of
the land.
The valuable mines of the world
today will be found in the ocean.
We have barely begun to tap the
chemical resources of oceans, rivers
and lakes, which contain most of the
mineral wealth which has been
washed off the land during millions
Of years. This includes boards OF
gold, silver, iron, copper, lead, and
Of course, magnesium and iodine.
This is my first thought as I land
in South Africa.
What OF The Future?
Readers really interested in the
subject should visit the institution
founded by the Rockefellers at
Woods Hole, Massachusetts. This
institution has six vessels afioat

DIRTIEST OF ALL

Before every election one hears fresh
renditions OF that tottering old refrain "Pol-
itics is a dirty business" The trouble is that
the phrase hackneyed though it is, begins
to take on the aspect of universal truth
as the first Tuesday after the first Monday
nearS.
Universal truth it is not. But when the
generalization has been cut down to size
the unpalatable fact remains that almost
every campaign is marred to some extent
by dirty politics-that is, by political action
which does not measure up to the moral
standards of the community.
Dirty politics has its gradations. 1t can
range from more or less damaging innuendo
to outright lies and bribery. In some cases,
the yen to win at any cost becomes fever
that distorts a mans sense of fair play.
Many such departures from the political
straight and narrow can be forgiven, if
not wholly excused.
But deliberate lies, calculated distortions
of an opposition candidates record or words
or attitudes-these are a brand of dirty
politics that cannot be condoned nor for
given This is especially true when such
distortions are thrown into campaign too
late to be refuted. That is dirty politics at
its dirtiest. A party or candidate that stoops
to such tactics deserves walloping defeat
at the polls

Watershed Planning
Moves Ahead

The interest of landowners for
improved drainage of the Upper
Nanticoke River Watershed is be-
ing investigated by a development
committee. More specifically, five
committees are studying the project
for five major areas or sections
which can be a part of the project.
Oscar Draper of Greenwood,
chairman of the group looking into
area l, known as the Northwest
Fork and extending from Seaford
to Pennington, announces that the
other five members and he will deal
with probably nine separate sub
sections. Two of these are already
established tax bitches: the Bridge
vile Branch and Cart Branch.
Other portions at one time had
functioned as community drainage
systems, and are known as Polk
Branches A & B, Muggins or Polk
Branch C, Whitemarsh, Kent-Sus-
sex, Hoey Branches, and the Main
Ditch.
others serving on the committee.
with Mr.. Draper include John
Thatcher Of Pennington, Carl
Tucker and Timothy Slaybaugh of
Greenwood; Thurmond Adams and
Lester Lichtenberger of Bridge
vile.
The purpose of the project is to
correct minor flood conditions and
to provide good land drainage for
the area. Considerable federal IL
nancial help will be- available for
the actual construction work.
The committee plans to meet
again on Monday, October 9th at
the H. P. Cannon Company offices
at BridgevilIe, starting at 500 p. m.

If parties, invitations, dates and
BOYS should bring out the hidden

What are those little keys?
Hair is one. It can be a frame of

waves will last from three to four
months. Keep your hair shampooed
if you'd like an impression for
beauty.
Complexion is the number two
key. A skin that is kept clean and
clear by good diet will not need
lay and night creams. Lipstick is

emphasizes the eyes can improve
them for a gala occasion, but often
hat is all that is necessary.
Figure your form as the number

and bra, baggy stockings, out-of-
proportion hemline, crooked shoe
heels, you've lost a point. If you
are overweight by all means cut
down on your calories-not the i'm
portant ones, but the excess accu-
mutation of sugar. starches, fats.
Fourth-your hands. If you are
nail bitter, realize how repulsive
the sight of your nails is to others,
and how vulgar the habit is in their
presence. Make an honest effort to

hand grooming. Keep your nails
clean.
Five is for clothes. If you're on
a budget aim for fewer but better
clothes, rather than lots of casual
ly chosen articles just to fill up
your wardrobe Treat yourself to
a clothes brush, shoe shine kit and
sewing kit to keep wearables in
good repair.
Six is for accessories. These are
the little odds and ends that dress
up your wardrobe-the white col
lars and cuffs, belts, bags, ear
rings, pins. Choose one good belt,
bag or pin rather than a drawer
full if you'd look chic at all times,
and your budget is limited. If you
can afford just one pair of ear
rings, choose a good pair of pearl,
silver or gold earrings, depending
on your budget or gift from some
one, and bank on them to last in
definitely. They'll save you money
in the long run, and you'll look
smarter.

THE NEW CARS

1t seems apparent, now that most of
the new cars are out, that the 1859 models
are a continuation in the longer, lower trend
which has characterized the American auto
mobile market. This is a significant devel-
opment, but one which had been predicted.
At least one manufacturer has argued
that smaller, more economical, car is what
the American public wants. However, the
Big Three manufacturers have insisted that
the American public wants just what they
are being given-longer, lower and wider
automobiles. The Big Three are probably
correct, although it seems there is large
enough segment of the public which is turn
ing to the smaller car to make it profitable
operation.
Just in case that segment which prefers
the smaller car is growing and will grow
even larger, the Big Three are concentrat-
ing on small cars-which will be introduced
at later date. And, one can note little less
emphasis on horsepower and more empha-
sis on economy, and thrift-even among the
larger cars which have just been introduced.
1t must be remembered that it takes some
three years, and maybe more, for the major
companies to change the direction of their
styling. Of course, change could be made
sooner, but it would increase the cost of
production of new model And even though
the major automobile producers have con-
tinued with their larger, lower and wider
automobiles, it seem that this trend may be
nearing the end of its cycle.
The economy Devices and the increasing
success of the small car, and the introduction
of other small cars by the major producers,
makes it probable that the designers for the
major companies will begin to "taper off"
in their enthusiasm for longer, lower and
wider automobiles.
