'More than 60 differei com- pounds have been adapted to the pressure -packed cans that dis- pense a fine .spray or foam at the touch of a finger. New ideas are being added almost every day to a list that already in - eludes dozens of cooking, clean- ing and personal toiletry aids, Fly sprays, air deodorizers, insect killers, moth -prefers and spot - eleaners now are well known. There are also plastic sprays for protecting newly polished silver, shampoos for the hair and for cleaning rugs and upholstery and spray paints and lacquers. me handy containers first made their appearance early in World War II as insecticide "bug bombs" familiar to service- men. Post-war improvements put the. aerosol containers into riieilian use as a handy dispen- ser for liquids and semi-solids. New applications are constantly heing found. The propellant force of aero - :tits is provided by a safe, almost odorless and non-poisonous liq- uid which changes to a gas when released. This compound is the ame chemical which acts as a tooling agent in the family refri- gerator. The fact that it becomes an ex- panding gas above certain tem- peratures has• researchers work- ing on a safety device that will "whistle" in the presence of fire or dangerously high tempera- tures. Chemical researchers foresee other developments. In the field of medicine, work is being clone on a plastic surgical dressing which could be sprayed direct- ly on the injury, offering imme- diate protection and making the healing process visible. There is also the possibility that aerosols will be adapted to antiseptics or healing compounds. So many new uses for the dis- pensers are springing up that they are riot yet available every- where.

In the personal products fields, hair lacquers and sun -tan lotions have joined the list of older aerosol products like deodorants and colognes. Paints and lac- quers are among the most popu- lar of the older products. The f a s t, uniform dispersal power of the spray has made painting and touching up a lot easier and smoother.

TABLE TALKS Ja�AMrews A letter from a reader asks for instructions on making Onion Soup -the French kind, Well, here is a really good one al- though, of course, no French housewife would use beef cubes or canned consomme instead of stock from the traditional pot- au-feu.

MERRY MENAGERIE "Welt, there's one advantage . we always know what our blind dates will look Iiket" WHO OBJECTS TO WHAT!, Mr. M..1..Cgldwell, in a regent radio broadcast, stated that "Loud objections to any increase in social security benefits have come from big business, from some of the Presidents of our Chartered' Banks, tram the Canadian Association of Manufacturers, and The Canadian Chamber of Commerce." This sort of statement has a very familiar ringleut shouId'not be left unchallenged. First of all,' we Brost deny" categorically' that The' Canadian Chamber of Commerce is opposed to social security. A distinction; however, roust 'be drawn between the kind of social security meant by Mr. Coldwell and the kind of social security desired by The Canadian •Chamber of Commerce, The ,rst.kind of sociae security is that which, is `supplied by .and administered by a generous .and beneficent Government.wheeh draws its revonues''from that section of the economy which ,in the opinion of some group of planners, is in the best position to pay for them. In short, as the speaker stated, ... "The Government can take money away from groups ands individuals who have more than they need and distribute it to those who have special needs that they ere unable to meet with their own resources." This is just another way of saying'efrom °deli according to his means to each according to his need." Does this realty spell 'security for the individual? '.The Canadian Chamber of Commerce on the other hand believes that beyond certain minimal protection which, grows as the nation prospers, a young vigordus and pioneering country should con- centrate.upon economic development from which flows the best kind of security for the individual. Can it be argued that the people of any other country in the world no mattei` what social benefits flow from the State have uny greater real security than we have here in Canada? Mr. C. C. Thackruy, President of Dominion Rubber Company Limited, in an addreils to the Kitchener Chamber 'of Commerce, put the matter succinctly when he said, "People '308d protection against old age, unemployment and disability, of course, hut this protection should come first .ot all from the thrift of the individual, from his own efforts and self-reliance. Government benefits should come last, and ,should be held down to a minimum. When the Govern- ment takes the lead in developing human aid a nation's walk down the road to sucialiem turns into a gallop." In an economy where the average industrial wage has increased from less than $24. a week to over $55. a week in thirteen years and where there are 102 people working today for every 100 working thirteen years ago; there has been a very real increase 111 security despite the increase in the cost of living. Mr. Charles Dickens in his preface to Alm third edition of Oliver Twist, written more than 100 years ago, said, "It's wonderful how Virtue turns from dirty stockings; and how Vice, married 'to ribbons and e little gay attire, changes her name, as wedded ladies do, and hecomes Romance:" Bo -called social security provided by the state, which grows by what it feeds on and destroys the ineen- tives which lead a real social security, has been bedecked'^ivith rib- bons and .flay attire.

Good Taste For Teens By SALLY McCRAE HOW POPULAR DOTS AND GIRLS GET THAT WAY: The desire to be popular presents a problem to many boys and girls. Nothing is more distressing to a teenager than; to be a "wall 'lower" or a "drip", or whatever words you use to describe the hay or girl who just doesn't rate in a mixed group. We've scout- ed around high scho0is and ask- ed teenagers to tell us, "How popular boys and girls get that way." Here •are their. answers. • POPULAR GIRLS ARE: Self confident, neither bashful, stand- offish nortoo forward; Attrac- tively pressed, but not too inter° ested in, clothes; Peppy and inter- ested, b t not. conspicuous; Friendly and fun, but not too eager; Good ttilkers, and good 1.i s t e n e r s; Good Dancers and Good at Sports such as -.tennis and badminton; Welt mannered but not snobbish; Good looking but they don't need' to be beau- ties; Intelligent but- not 'smarty' about it; • Considerate, especially of a boy's pocket book; Natural and sincere; Neither touch -me nuts nor chronic petters; Non drinker s and non , smokers; Not boastful of fernierconquests; • Religious and have high ideals, Time -Keeping At Sea' Liked by other girls; POPULAR BOYS ARE:' Well Clockrnaking tteca7ne a craft of considerable importance about the year 1550. Clocks for the homes of the upper middle classes became a possibility. Sy 1600 there were enough clock - makers at work to indicate the eventual cienversion of the clock from a luxury to a staple article of commerce. The significance of an accurate timepiece as an aidto naviga- tion was generally appreciated in maritime and fiaval circles. In 1714 the English. Parliament offered a grand prize to any clock - maker who would measure time accurately enough to determine longitude within thirty miles. John Harrison (1693-1775) de- veloped one that made determin- ation within eighteen miles pos- sible. This was in 1761. He called his timepiece a chronometer, If determining position by the aid of an accurate timepiece is some- thing of a mystery to any reader, this explanation may resolve the matter: 'You set out on a voyage with an eccurate clock that is set at the time of the place from which you start. That clock on your ship will, if accurate, keep time with -tee master clock back home. Ten days later you want to know about how far you have sailed. At precisely noon you "shoot the sun" with- an instru- ment. You know it is noon by the sun. You calculate the variation between atm time and true time from charts and tables and com- pare that with the "time" back home as 'recorded by the cheek you have with you. Your clock says it's one o'clock. Your sun shooting says it's twelve o'clock, Ergo, you are approximately one thousand miles west of home. The lime difference tells you, where you are. A poor timepiece might tell you within one hundred miles., Harrison's timepiece cut the margin of error to eighteen miles -From "American Clocks and Clobkmakers," by Carl W. , Drepperd. • dressed and tidy; Well mannered but not 'fussy; Good Talkers and listeners; :Dependable and con- siderate, especially, about get- ting a girl horde on time; Good dancers and good at sports; Pep py and attractive, but not a show off; Self confident, not bashful, knows his way around; Inde- pendent, thinks for himself, not tied to another's apron strings; Not excessive smoker s, Non drinkers; Natural, kind a n d thoughtful; Not chronic neckers; Intelligent but not conceited; Sincere, Religious, with good. morals; Liked by other boys. After reading the above an- swers you'll realize being popu- lar really means having a won- derful personality. However, not even an extremely popular teen will have all the attributes named because each person is different from each other. Every teen has her own special personality, only often it is stilt- ed because she fails to make the most of. it. Obviously, a girl who Is keen about making the most of her looks, clever at wearing clothes and is ineeresled in de= veloping her personality will have a happier time and get on much better than a girl who is unkempt and looks slovenly. Personality is YOU. It's how you look and how you act, at home and away from home, at, school, in church, on busses and street cars, in autos etc., that counts. Teens who don't know how to act in certain situations often envy those who do and to cover up their own • lack they develop a singing wit, biting sar- casm, unpleasant tale telling and, other unpopular traits which may -become permanent. ' We all change, for better or for worse, especially, during the teenage years. Fortunately, we can make the most of ourselves in looks, character, charm and personality, but only if we know what to do. We must, however, remember' that perfection comes to very few and it certainly will not come to anyone without time and practice. RELAX: Tile first thing to do to develop a popular.personality, is to relax; forget about wanting to be popular,' Interest yourself in others and ;evhat 'tl oy are .do- ing, Stop thinking, about YOU. and worrying about whether peo- ple like you or not. Most people are too busy fretting about whether, son like them. to think about you, Interest in other peo- ple, makes you interesting. If you feel out of things, feel :that others have intimate friends, while you are even left out of a ' group, don't let it upset you, be- cause ho pile is lilted by every- body. You still crave to be liked, to be wanted, to be popular. What can you do to make people t like you and snake you one 01 the gang? We've given you a list of what boys say make girls Popular; We've suggested that yoso hard tobe �eliked. Herenotlax and are a couple more hints° The confident teen is better liked than 'the nervous one, because our feelings are be- fectiotis. When we feel afraid, ill -at -ease, or striving to.be popu- lar, people near us get the same feeling and are also unhappy, unsure and uncomfortable. They don't like it. Friendliness is also catching. When we are friendly and, sin-. core, we radiate 'a warm sturdy' happiness; 'that, spills over onto people near us and they feel hap- pier, too. People want to get to know us because we make them' feel cheerful, we give them a lift and boost their morale. So stop fretting about wanting to be liked and start liking other peo- ple.

She quickly rushed to the door, only to find the street deserted. About a half -Hour later a timid knock came on the door and the scared voice of a small boy said: "Please, ma'am, here comes my father to mend your window." Looking up the road, she saw a man :with a pane of glass ap- proaching the house, so without further ado, she returned the ball to the boy and praised him for being so honest. It did not take the man lone to repair the window. Then fie turned to the housewife. "Thaf1, be $3.00," he said. "What are you charging int for?" she demanded. "Wasn't tha boy your son?"
