THE NEW PIONEERS !
There’s just no telling where this do-it-yourself
enthusiasm is going to lead us. Present indications,
at least, are that it will go on and on, and we shall be
adding skill after skill to our once limited abilities . . .
and perhaps, in time, make our ancestors proud of us!
We have just learned, for example, of a builder
in Chicago who decided to leave one or more rooms in
his homes unfinished . . with appropriate reduc
tions in price. The buyer who wanted to get Ihe most
house for his money got the builder’s plans for the
unfinished rooms, and also, with the house, he got a
Delta-Shop, which is the latest thing in a home-crafts
man’s power tool. With this, he was equipped for
sawing and mitering, making‘joints, drilling holes and
sanding in the most painless possible way. Also, this
four-way combination tool is so compact, the builder
could find a suitable place for it whether the house
had a basement or not."
Being a smart man, as you can see, the builder
also ran an ad in the newspapers telling people about
these “expandable” homes. He sold six of them the
first day.
And now, a furnace builder is making a do-it-your
self furnace, which will go fine, of course, with a do-it
yourself chimney! The home-owner gets all the pieces
and the plans—for less money than a completed furnace,
of course. When he has it put together, he calls a
company representative who is a qualified heating
nan. The man checks the installation and okays it—
or maybe tells the owner where the left-over pieces
belong.
A man (or woman) smiles now when you call him
a “jack of all trades.” He knows darn well he’s master
cf at least several of them.
The man who does not work for the love of work
but only for money is not likely to make money nor to
find much fun in life. —Charles M. Schwab

ing of new Dior hemline: “Within six months every
one will be wearing shorter skirts.”

U.S. Has More
A-Bombs Than
Planes To Deliver
WASHINGTON, W—Sen. Rus
sell (D-Ga) said Thursday the
United States has more atom
bombs than it has planes and
pilots to deliver them against any
aggressor that might attack this
country.
Russell, top Democratic senator
on the Senate Armed Services
Committee and the Senate-House
Atomic Energy Committee, made
the remark in expressing concern
about Eisenhower administration
cuts in Air Force funds.
How many A-bombs this coun
try has stockpiled is a carefully
guarded secret.
The Georgian, interviewed about
the impact on U.S. defense re
quirements of Russia’s announce
ment that she has developed the
hydrogen bomb, said the best de
terrent to aggression is the ability
to strike back. He said he felt,
therefore, that the retaliatory
I power of long-range strategic
bombers must be the cornerstone
of America’s defense.
l
Despite any defense network
that may be thrown around this
country—with radar warning sys
tems, . fighter - intercepter planes
and guided missiles—some enemy
bombers are bound to break
through in a determined attack,
Russell said. However, he also
said more intercepters and an im
proved radar network are needed.
At the last session of Congress
Russell opposed the Eisenhower
administration’s $5 billion cut in
funds for the Air Force. He re
peated yesterday that he felt too
deep a cut had been made. He
also noted that the Defense De
partment had ordered a further
cutback in plane orders since Con
gress adjourned.

fied Communist China and North
