turn actually is unique in it's
gentleness to date-and this is
written in full recognition of
the facts that more than 6 per
cent of all who are able and
willing to work are out of jobs,
that home building has slumped
sharply from the levels of 1859,
that the pace Of steel produc-
ton has been spectacularly be-
low expectations, that profits
have been in an unmistakable
squeeze.
Still in the face of these and
other unpleasant facts, the re-
ceSsion has remained modest
ever since it became apparent
in the spring of 1860. 1t has
not fed on itself, the decline
has not gained momentum,
news and talk of the downturn
have not accelerated the down.

in the 1957-58 and 1953-54 re-
cessions, the downtrends were
weekly becoming more marked.
This is a point that observers
are now emphasizing above al
most all others, and they are
using it as a basis for belief
that, while the recession clearly
has months more to run, it will
remain gentle. and when we
do pull out of it the rise will
start from a level not much
lower than today's.

Sowdust's S New Uses

in combination with other
wood wastes to provide heat.
Sawdust alone, 1t has been
found, also can be used to
fuel special home sawdust

Ever use plastic wood? Its
chief ingredient is sawdust.
Graded sawdust is used as
fiber for building products.
Combined with resin, it
makes a subf1ooring for lin
oleum, house sheathing and
as core stock for furniture

The one-time unwanted
stepchild Of the forest indus

come a useful product in
millions Of American homes.
Sawdust at one time was
considered commercially val
liable only as a fuel to power
sawmills. More often than
not. surplus sawdust has pre-
sented a disposal problem.
But slowly this leftover Of
numbering has been finding
its way, in various DISCUSSES,
into our homes.

as porous clay bricks and tile,

sum compositions and cast
products as a fertilizing
agent and as a substitute for
sand. in special cases. in the
making of concrete.
Forest industry researchers
and enterpirsing tree farmers
expect to find many more
new uses for sawdust In the
years ahead.

covered a slight upswing in
privately owned units started
since November. The 81,70O
private starts of December
were only 10 per cent below
the November figure, less
than the usual seasonal drop
between the two months.
When adjusted for normal
seasonal variations, the bu-

Diet Important

portant as we grow older.
Count calories If you need to.
Work out a well-balanced and
pleasant diet regime and al
low it to become q way Of life
with you.
Plan this with the idea that
from middle age on we need
especially vital food but less
OF it. Beware Of calcium, iron
and protein deficiencies,
which are the ones most often
found in older persons.
Rest is another important
factor in the young look. "
You can't burn the candle at
both ends and look glamorous
in broad daylight.
Nobody can tell you how
much rest you need in order
to maintain top energy and
an unmarried appearance.
Analyze your own stamina,
discover an effective schedule
and stick to 1t.
Make daily exercise a habit
and carry this through life
with you, fitting the type Of
exercise to your individual
ability at every age.
Add new interests to your
life.
Regular Skin Care
Skin care is a most i'm
portant ritual and must be
regular. Spasmodic spurts
Of it will not pile up COM
plexion dividends over the
years. Too much hot sun,
cold weather, wind and
steam-heated buildings all
have an aging effect. Usually
the lines start around the
eyes and mouth. Sometimes
the whole face becomes dry
and taut. Daily fabrication
is most essential.
You can sidestep the aging
process to an amazing degree
with the right attention,
methodically administered.
It's as simple as this. Each
day wash your face thor
oughly with soapsuds and
water to float away dust and
makeup. This cleans and
stimulates the skin.
This deep pore cleansing
is more important than ever
prior to using a lubricating
cream. The skin must be
properly cleansed in order
to absorb the cream with
top-notch efficiency. Emolli-
ents will not work well if the
pores are clogged.
Don't forget your neck.
From a cosmetic point of
view it is part of your face
and deserves the same care.

COTTON


Due to heavy rains last week
t looks as if a OF of cotton will
have to be planted over in order
to have the stand you would
want. If you pre-emerged your
cotton there are two good met
lodS you can use in replanting.
First, would be to take a IA
Of 16 inch sweep, run it about
Z inches deep right in top of the
row where your cotton has been
planted and your pre-emerged
used. This sweep should lay the
pre-emerged area on the Shout
der of the row.. Then take small
middle busters and run them
directly In the middle at high
speed about 2 inches deep, pick
up the dirt from the middle,
throw on the shoulder of the row
INTO area rooted out by your
sweep. BY doing this you are
taking dirt out of the middle
that has not had any pre-emer-
ge on it and putting it in top
OF row where you can go ahead
ana replant and also use pre-
emerge again if desired.
Your second best bet would
De to completely disk your soil
up shallow, lay off your rows
IN the same place and plant as
before.
The one thing not to do is to
mp up your rows, harrow off
and plant. This is very danger
GUS as your seed will more or
less be in contact with the pre-
emerged area and cause YOUR
cotton to die after coming up.
BE careful and not work your
ground while it is too wet. Bv
running a little sweep directly
n the middle will help dry out
your land much faster.

the roots of the corn. Side
dress the corn as soon as it is
