way an apartment house owner
made his ladder-type fire escape

He covered the lower reaches

Inspector Erwin McCurdy told
him to clean off the grease and
take up the door-kicking problem

UNRELATED TWINS /:

JACKSON, Tenn. (P) "A COW
belonging to 4 farmer near. here
had 4 multiple birth recently but
the offspring can hardly be called
twins 81
One is a Hereford heifer; the
other Guernsey hull.
The two different breeds from
the same COW is the result OF
some scientific ! meddling. The
Guernsey is attributed to artifi-
cial insemination; the Hereford
to later service by bun.

COMING ELECTRICAL WONDERS

COMlNG ELECIRlCAL NUMBERS
Electrical conveniences that almost all of
us use would have seemed inconceivable to
our grandfathers. But electric living is still
in its infancy
The chief officer of one of our leading
utility companies recently looked into the
future. Here are some of the developments
he forsees:
Food will be prepared, cooked and served
at the direction of an electric computer pro-
grammed days ahead of time. An appliance
will take the food from the freezer to the
range, then cook and serve it. A small cleo
trio machine will manufacture disposable
dishes, thus eliminating the dishwashing
chore.
The light bulb will be thing of the past.
People will use area sources of light where
whole walls will glow with electrolumines-
cence.
When dirt collects on a carpet closet
it will automatically do the needed cleaning,
then put itself away and close the closet door.
One wall will probably consist of giant
TV screen. Programs will come to you live
from every corner of the world, with the sig
mails bounced to your living room by earth
circling satellites.
Therell be no fussing with heating and
cooling systems. Once the control is set,
your house will be kept in perfect condition,
automatically, the year round.
Driveways and paths around the house
will be heated too, and the snow shovel will
become curiosity
Fantastic? Yes-but these are only few
of the wonders that. will become common
place in the era of electric living that lies
ahead.

WHERE RUSSIA LOST GROUND

About year ago group of government
officials issued report on electrical develop
ment in the Soviet Union. 1t contained valu-
able material. At the same time, however,
it gave, Willingly or otherwise, the impress
sion that Russia might overtake us in this
vitally important field in the not too distant
future. The public power groups, naturally,
seized on this with enthusiasm, and again
demanded all kinds of government crash pro-
grams, which would socialize power devel-
opment-from the atom as well as the con-
ventional sources-at cost of billions to the
taxpayers.
Subsequently, numbers of authorities
have said that if Russia even approaches us
in power output, much less overtaKes us, in
the foreseeable future it will be miracle
of the first dimension. And available factual
information bears that out.
Last year this country produced 794 ,508,-
100000 kiowatt hours of electric power.
That was more than was produced in all of
Europe, except Russia, and about third
of the total for the entire world.
Russia's production was 264000,0 100000
kilowatt hours.
More important still, our increase in pro-
duction was far greater than Russia's -
$4,000, 100000 kilowatts hours as compared
to 30,60O,00O, 900. So, instead of closing the
gap, Russia lost ground vis vis the United
States.
There is every indication that this trend
fidently anticipates an almost unbelievably
huge increase in demand in coming years, and
is preparing to meet it.

PROPHETS WRONG

Remember when - back in the Cos -
there was a fear that the big chain store sys-
TENS would destroy independent retailing
and wind up as monopolies? Stringent anti
chain legislation was widely proposed as
remedy.
Luckily for consumers, the anti-chain
movement failed. And subsequent history
has proven how rong the prohpets of doom
were.
The Federal Trade Commission recently
reported on food retailing in this country.
And here, as summarized by the National
Association of Food Chains, are its finding:
/. The newer chains show a faster rate of
growth than the older ones. 2. The medium
sized chains show a faster rate than the
larger chains 3. There is constant entrance
of new firms into the chain category and
constant growth of the smaller chains in
terms of both numbers of stores and sales.
4. Groups of resourceful, vigorous, indepen-
dent food retailers have not only held their
own. they have actually shown greater
growth patterns than the corporate chains.
D. All of the 180 food chains with IL or more
stores do great deal less than half of the
nations food business
And there's plenty of opportunity within
It's ranks for merchants of every kind and
size.
