LAUNDRY TIPS

LAUNDRY TIPS
Are you one of those lucky per-
sons who has an automatic wash
er with an optional cold-water Sc
lector? If SO, don't go overheard
and wash everything in cold wat
err.
Studies show that a big part OF
the average household wash
still is cotton items which get the
heavier soil, and for these, heat
is essential for good washing. Hot
water also is necessary to remove
any sort Of grease or oil and many
other everyday stains.
For the most satisfactory cold
water washing fabrics should be
only slightly soiled. Sometimes
there must be a choice between
getting fabrics clean with hot wa
ter, or getting it less clean and
avoiding wrinkles caused by hot
water on the fabric or finish.
In the future there may be a
detergent which will wash fab
RIGS as efficiently in cold water
as in hot water but until then
watch what you wash in cold
water.
How much detergent to use in
an automatic washing machine is
always a problem. Here's one sure
way to tell if you've used the
right amount - and that's the
suds level in your machine. A
good active suds level tells at a
glance if there is enough deter
gent in the wash water just as a
gas guage tells if there is enough
gas to keep a car running.
You have an active suds level
when the suds cover the water
and move actively with the mo-
ton of the machine. When the
suds are so thick that they don't

move at all, you've been using

the suds don't cover the surface
of the water, you've not used

washing results.
Make this test a few times, and
then use your results as a guide.
You'll not only save money on

GravitatiOn of Morals
When / was a boy in church and
Sunday School, | was seriously
taught about personal devil
who was continually pulling me
down morally. Now this personal
devil" has gone out of fashion in
most modern thinking; but we are
constantly being pulled down
morally nevertheless. One great
trouble with our nation today is
that this personal devil' is no
longer popular and few preachers
have given us anything worthwhile
in it's place. They should frankly
tell us that. "gravitation" is con-
stantly pulling us down morally
as it is pulling us down physically
1t finally pulls us into the grave.
All the above means that there
is no ultimate protection in any
stocks, bonds, mortgages, real es-
tate, or anything else, but con-
stant supervision, proper diversi-
fication, and courage to act. Hence.
the rule is from shirt sleeves to
shirt sleeves in three generation"
for those who neglect such sup
port. Nature does not provide Sc
curity for any of u.s. 1t is imposs-
ible to retire" without roting away.
Constant struggle against evil is
necessary for self-preservation both
for individuals and nations. The
law of gravitation not money, mis-
siles or other military equipment
will decide our future.

surely believe that such gravity has
a constant downward pull on the
stock market As constant force is
needed to keep up an airplane, kite
or balloon, so constant buying is
needed to keep up prices. Force
can raise prices as it can raise a
load in an elevator. Furthermore.
prices will fall as soon as this force
is removed. Sir Isaac Newton's Law
of Gravitation will be found to
apply to the actions of the stock
market.

Thus the successful investor usually
need only wait until the artificial
supports are removed and he can
then get stocks at his own price.
This is why General Electric, GEN
eral Motors, and other good stocks
sold for only a few dollars per
share in 1882. They kept declining
until support came This will again
repeat itself.
Outlook For World War iii
Newtons Law of Gravitation will
determine the future of inter-
national affairs. Conditions will con-
tinue to become worse until some
nation falls. This need not be Rus
sia. This fall will shorten the cold
war, and either hasten peace or
World War III. What Secretary
Dulles, or Churchill, or the Pope
may say has very little bearing.
What nation will be first to fall We
do not know, any more than we
now know which of our big cor
porations will be the first to fall.
1t will be the first one from which
support is withdrawn
The same fact applies to our
national politics. Every political
party in power, remains in power
until the public withdraws support.
Then, by Newton's Law, it falls
whether its principles are right or
wrong. AS the seed corn natural
ly falls to the ground so does

Our .Can.Do. Is Slipping

Chairman Lyndon Johnson of the
Senate Preparedness subcommittee,
who is not the alarmist, arm-wav-
ing type, believes with the rest of
this group that all of us Tin and out
of the armed services and the de-
tense plants) have got to work
harder if this nation is not to
sink to the level of a second class
power and subservience to Russia.
He has remarked with laconic elo-
quence-in respect to missiles
that we have the "know-how", but
are short on "can-do"!
The Johnson recipe against ma
tional decline is ito work as though
there will never be tomorrow and
everything must be done tonight" "
The Senator is saying, in effect,
what GE Vice President Lemuel r.
Boulware has been telling business
and industrial groups in series of
talks across the nation. But Mr..
Boulware, who was vice president
of the War Production Board in
World War II and ought to know,
goes even farther. We have been
dogging it to the point, he says.
where national production could
be stepped up 20 per cent with "the
same facilities and personnel, with

Boulware, ito finance our stepped
up defense program. We can have
both. We can have the sky full of
our sputniks with our dogs in
them. We can still live 20 per cent
better"
But it's time to forget that ir-
responsible admonition: Take it
easy. Those should be fighting
words to all of us, especially in
view of the hard fact that the pro-
ductivity of labor has been going
down for the past 18 months-when
it should rise three per cent a
year merely through improved tools
and increased know-how. During
the past year it has slipped five
points.

calls it staggering, estimates the
postal deficit at two million dol
lars a day.
But, despite his Is years on this
unpopular committee-seven as
chairman-the Senator is still op-
tismistic Writing in the February
issue of Readers Digest. he out
lines four step program by which
''in few years we can get out of
this postal mess and have the best
mail service in the world.
First, Senator Johnson would
establish a basic postal policy"
separating postal costs that should
be paid by users of the mails from
non-postal costs that should be
borne by the Government as pub
lie services. The author listed
eleven examples of extraneous post
Office services-such as the sale of
duck" stamps to waterfowl hun
ters, sale and redemption of Gov
ernment savings bonds and stamps,
registry of aliens, counting deer
and grouse, handling donations for
a dozen nationwide charity drives
a year and helping the families of
decreased veterans procure fun
eral flags.
Next, with policy firmly estab-
1ished, it would be possible to raise
postal rates nationally.
The third step. a truly colossal
one, would be "a long-range, big
scale modernization program for
the construction of efficient build
ings, streamlining of facilities, de-
velopment of advanced mechanical
devices. To pay for this, the Sena-
tor has already proposed that Con-
gress authorize the Postmaster Gen
era1 to borrow two billion dollars
from the Federal Employees Retire
ment Fund at 312 per cent. This
would make the Fund members
happy since their money, invested
in Treasury bonds, presently earns
only 21a per cent, and still be a
break for the Post Office which is
now paying per cent on its limited
borrowings.
Finally, Senator Johnson would
increase enploye efficiency" by
paying more money-enough more,
for instance, that postal worker
wouldn't have to get an extra job
(as many now do ito make ends
meet.
1t is pretty certain at this writ
ing that potsal rates will be in
creased Ito four cents, not five, on
first class maiD and that postal
workers will get an across the
board wage hike. But to take steps
two and four without the vital first
and third will be worse than use
less. Only a basic reorientation and
a complete modernization program
such as Senator Johnston outlines
can clean up the "niess"-and make
it possible for us to get better SER
vice when we pay more for our

A BOW is DESERVED

Inc movement away from the farmS has
not meant the development of corporate
farms in this country but rather the
strengthening of the family farm. The pro-
portion of family farms to the total number
has held steady in recent years. The trend
is toward larger mechanized farms operated
by single family with little or no outside
labor.
The key word in that last sentence is
"mechanized." Modern farm equipment has
made possible whole new concept of the
family farm. 1t is business and profes
sion with substantial capital investment
and far greater productive ability than
was ever known before.
Here another key word should be empha-
sized-the word modern" Judged by any
standard of omparisOn-economy of Oper-
alton, long life, productive efficiency, versa
tility, safety, ease of handling, and so on
the new machines are far superior to their
predecessors.
They are, in every respect, better buy.
This has been the result of engineering
research. And that research, in turn, has
been spurred on by competition. There are
many farm equipment manufacturers. Each
seeks to offer a more attractive product
than his competitors. When that is the case,
in this or any other field of enterprise, max
imum progress follows.
Finally, the fact that the family farm is
growing stronger rather than weaker should
come as good news to us all. This kind of
farm is the backbone of American agricul-
ture. The equipment people deserve a bow
