Dear Friends:
Sara knew now desperately we
were depending upon her to help
me when | returned from the hos
pital with cur new lovely daugh-
ter. That is why she felt she, could
not worry us with the news oi
Susan's illness. Sara'g daughter
was i'll the latter part OF October
and of course any day we could
be calling announcing the birth
of the baby. Susan was in and out
of the hospital before we were told
anything about it.
But Sara's smooth sailing hadn't
begun yet. The Gay she was leav-
ing Milford to get her plane in
Washington, d. c., she was on the
outskirts of town and Mother d
asked casually if she had forgot
ten her plane tickets and sure
enough she had.
The most upsettiEg delay in hei
flight west was yet ahead of her
When my sister-in-law went to the
reservation desk of an airline tC
pick up her tickets she was told
that since she hadn't confirmed her
reservations a designated number
of hours prior, they were given to
another passenger. BY this time
Sara of course could picture her
brother in Topeka getting ready to
leave to go to Kansas City, Mo-, to
meet her plane. What would she
do if she didn't get on that fight!
This was Thursday evening tn,

If Sara couldn't get on this fiigh
it was doubtful whether she coulC

will largely take the place of steel
in most building development. AL
though / have felt that the "steels'
are very fundamental investments,
and that Carnegie, Morgan and
Frick shwed great foresight in
forming the United States Steel
Corporation, I now wonder il 1t
ever would have been formed if
plastics had been developed first.
Plastic Possibilities
With the use of chrome, steel can
be made so it will not rust. This
is the so-called stainless steel.
But plastics will not rust or tar
nish; they are very easy to work or
mold. We are still in great Chem
ical Age-and plastics are just be-
ginning to be used My belief is that
plastics will largely replace steel

on copper.
1t we enter an atomic age when
uranium or hydrogen from ordinary
sea water is used to manufacture
cheap electricity, all distribution
systems will have to be doubled, in
cluding the wiring of your house
and Office. Only investors in un-
developed continents like Africa,
who are not loaded up with big. de-
preciating. obsolete plants such as
we have in the u. S., are free to
create truly modern plants. With
copper uranium, water power, coal,
and the elements which make plas-
tics at her door, Africa will create
a great chemical industry which
will astonish every reader of this
column
Milford chronicle., 1958-11-21

Enroute home from Cape Town,
November 20. I have written a
column on gold and another on
copper; but another industry which
may become very important is the
aluminium industry.
How aluminium Is Made
This metal is obtained from a
clay known as bauxite; but it is of
no use unless large quantity of
cheap electricity power is nearby.
This combination requires vast
capital investments. Only cleo
tricity will separate the metal from
the clay at satisfactory cost. Sew
eral countries have bauxite, but
not the cheap power.
In Northwest Africa this cOmbin-
alton has been found near the sea-
coast, which is also an advantage.
Such an electric power plant is
now being built. With cheap Afri-
can labor at $40 per month, this
should enable the Aluminium Com
pany of America to produce and
transport Il its own steamers the
cheapest aluminium in the world.
| am now recommending no stocks
in this p1arket; but if a reader
wants an aluminium stocks as an
investm ent-not for speculation
believe he would do better to
buy Alcoa than the stock of any
competitor.
What About Gravity?
AS most readers know, am
much interested in discovering a
partial insulator of gravity. Such
a discovery would not only be a
great blessing to everyone in time
of peace, but the nation which first
makes this discovery should be the

How 70 Buy and Care for
Wash and-Wear Clothing
By DOROTHY ROE

Associated Press WOmen's Editor
WHAT WITH ALL the new mir
acle fabrics on the market, each
with a different talent, the aver
age consumer is hopelessly con-
fused.
What does it mean when a gar
ment is tagged "Wash-and-Wea ?"
What does it mean when it says
Drip -Dry?" And what is the diff
erence when it's tagged Automatic
Wash-and-Wear?"
Nowadays, If she listens to all
the advertising claims, a custom
er may reasonably expect that the
new dress she buys will wear for
ever, never get soiled or wrinkled
or if it does, will go and wash itself.
When a so-called "drip-dry" or
@wash-and-wear" garment fails to
live up to it's billing, the average
woman is likely to become disil-
lusioned about all modern miracles
in clothing.
Actually the failure usually hap
pens because she didn't read the
tag carefully, didn't follow washing
enough in examining the fabric
when she bought the garment.
So how can you be sure you'll
ret what you're promised when
you buy garment labeled wash
and-wear?"
First, you must understand the
Inference between '1wash-and-
wear" and automatic wash-and-
wear" The former should be wash
ed by hand or, If machine is used,
remove before the final spin-drying
cycle. If the automatic" tag is
added, it means that the garment
.an be put through the full cycle of
modern automatic washer and tum-
BILE dryer at temperature settings
for the new clothes.
If a garment is labeled 'sdrip-dry"
it means just that it should be
washed by hand and hung up drip
ping wet. When it dries it should
require little or no ironing, if you
have smoothed the seams and col
lar with your fingers while it is
still wet.
To be sure that the garment
will give the performance you ex-
uect, it is well to examine the
fiber content of the fabric Clothes
which can be washed by machine
and worn without ironing should
have a high percentage of either
dacron, orion, nvlon or one of the
other new synthetic fibers which
are being develcDed every day. A
safe percentage is IS percent da-
crnn orion or other synthetic fiber
with S5 percent natural fiber such
as cotton.

pings or making Christmas orna-
ments. A bowl of soap suds, Opaque
paint, and old boxes and juice cans
can keep a young crew of potential
i,noise makers on the silent beam for
a good spell.
Large cereal or soap boxes, for
instance, may be pressed into SER
vice as Christmas card holders.
When finished you'll have Santa
Claus going down cardboard chim-
Iney.
First there is the paper work.
A crayoned area of bricks is made
on paper and then pasted over the
cereal box that should be in a
chimney shape. The top of the box
should be removed of course. San
ta's face may be drawn on another
.piece of paper and put on a piece
| of paper and put on a piece of
cardboard and pasted at the top
of the chimney Santa Claus
Christmas seals are good for that.
If Santa's head is placed properly
/ it should look like it is just peek
ing out of the chimney.
The chimney may be edged with
a wideborder of suds-snow. And

comes. Such a discovery would
enable missiles to easily break the
gravity barrier and go to the
moon. Furthermore, it would
revolutionize all airplane travel,
increasing both safety and speed
Investors are apt to forget that
there are two sides to the gravity
picure Although all nations should
seek vigorously for partial in
sulator of gravity they should also
demand greater use Of lighter ma
terials such as aluminium, mag
nesium and pIastics. The ship which
I am on now has such a large
amount of magnesium that the
captain is complaining because it
gives bulk, but has no weight for
ballast. In fact, my studies of
gravity convince me that alumni
mum, magnesium, and plastics will
play an important part in industry
and should be watched by every in
vestor.
Alloys For Strength
Aluminium is very much lighter
than steel, but it will dent more
easily. This fact is slowing the
building of trains and automobiles
with aluminium. Great searches are
going on in laboratories to find an
alloy which will combine mo
weight" with great strength. All
who are interested in controlling
gravity should watch the metallur-
gists who. are seeking these new
alloys. A complete revolution may
soon take place along these lines,
including the making of all metals
in every color.
In Africa investors are going very
slowly in building steel plants. Af-
rica now has only three such

is to buy a garment made by a
reliable manufacturer, who un-
doubtedly will have tested it thor
oughly before putting it out under
his label.
When you have satisfactory
automatic wash-and-wear" gar
ment, you may know that its ability
to resist wrinkling and keep a
fresh-pressed look lasts for the life
of the garment and cannot be
washed out. If it has pleats. they
stay in after washing. A good job

A NOTE ON RESTOCKING


This is the time of year when sportsmei
should consider restocking hunting areas
Just as fishermen and pond-owners stool
their ponds, hunters and those who own
hunting land and want game to multiply
should consider restocking their acreage.
This is practice that has not been fol
lowed in the past as much as it should have
been. In the old days, when there was plen-
tiful supply of game and comparatively few
hunters, things worked out without mucl
restocking. However, the time has arrived
when restocking must be considered mod
ern necessity, if game conditions are to be
maintained as they are today, or even i'm
proved.
The restocking of pheasants in some sec.
tions of the country, of quail in others, an6
of other birds and animals, if they are tC
have maximum chances for survival wher
released, should be released under favorable
conditions and should De prepared as well as
possible for release.
In the case of quail, an exceptionally
adaptable bird and one which can be restock-
ed in all sections of the country, the birds
should be put out at an early age, and should
be placed where there is sufficient food, wa
ter and cover.
Quail are full grown at sixteen weeks
and are wild one week after they have been
released in the open country They will not
travel far from the point of release, if they
find food, water and cover.

of fnger-smOothing viii probably
eliminate the need of any ironing.
If such clothes do need a touch
of the iron it should be just that
merely a. touch, to smooth collar
or a hemline.
The new miracle fabrics are well
worth the trouble of reading labels
and following directions. Once you
understand how to buy them and
how to care for them. you'll find
wash-day much pleasanter and
cleaning bills less.

NO CAUSE FOR CHEERS

Reports now indicate that this years
federal deficit will probably be well below the
S12 billion figure that was forecast until re-
Gently. The reason, however, isn't that gov
stead, that the upturn in business activity
and personal incomes are raising tax reve-
nues.
A reduced deficit will be good news. But
it shouldn't lead to any cheering. At best. the
government will go into the hole by billions
That means more national debt. That means
more danger of imitation. That means ever
poorer chances for tax reduction.
If the next Congress continues the spend
ing sprees of its predecessors. We'll keep
right on moving toward a further debased
currency and ultimate national bankruptcy.
It's happening all over the world. 1t can

WHY GROW OLD?
Exercise
To Have
Good Legs
BY JOSEPHINE LOWMAN

Register ana tribune syndicate
Our Guardian Angels
have a way Of becoming
careless when we do. May
be you have allowed lack Of
exercise and too much food
to land on the calves of your
legs and your Angel thinks
that 1t is up to you since you
CAN do something about it
yourself.
Somehow we expect a wom-
an to have lovely legs just
as we expect her to have a
soft voice and graceful pos
ture. This would be pretty
sad except for the fact that
most women can have a cou-
pie of good looking under
pinnings-if they are deter
mined!
Naturally a woman can
not change the bone struc-
ture Of her legs and some
defects are due to this. How
ever. fatty deposits and mus
culature play a great part in
leg contour.
If your legs are too fat,
stretching exercises will help.
If they are too small, you can
build contour with exercise.
IndividuaIistic
Legs are highly individual
istic. Some very slim wom-
en- have large legs, while
large women may have pipe
stem legs. These usually are
inherited builds, but exer-
else even can improve these.
A letter before me says. II
have reduced my calves an
inch-and-a-half by doing
just this one exercise which
you sent me. I had not men,
toned my protruding tummy
but that went away also"
Effective Exercise
This is the exercise. Lie on
the floor on your back, legs
straight and arms resting on
the floor overhead. Raise
both arms and both legs at
the same time. Take hold Of
the toes with the hands and
pull toward you (knees stiff.
II you cannot do this. bring
the fingers and toes as close
together as possible and turn
the toes back toward the
head.
If you are overweight, of
course, a loss Of pounds will
make your legs smaller. and
you will need to diet. If you
are underweight, a gain will
make your legs larger. but
exercise can speed the loss
or increase in inches.
