The first telephones were hailed as a great -inventors and staving one on`the living room wall 50 years ago was as much a mark of distinction as having fins on your long, low, shiny car today. Then telephones became com- mon. Nearly everybody had one. In fact, when the party line rangs it might he any one of a dozen neighbors talking, By this time, the phone ceased to be a novel ornament and was , demoted to the -.back hall 1 or the coat closet or some other in- conspicuous place. People also found it more comfortable to sit down than to stand up when they talkeS. TheY could talk longer. Maybe the teen-agers were responsible - anyway engineers designed tele- phones that stood on desks while the ,users sat on chairs, But there •was the ungainly box .for the hell. So somebody de- signed the modern telephone and dressed it up to match the kitchen, the boudoir, or milady's favorite hair rinse. But while these improvements were coming off the assembly line, what do you suppose hap- pened to the old-fashioned tele- phone? It became an antique!` Indeed it did. And then, having exhausted new ideas for radio cabinets, the designers looked around in museums and antique chops and there was their in- spiration. So now, my dear, you can get the most fascinating old-fash- ioned telephone for your living room wall. Only you . don't talk Into it.. It talks to you. Your radio's inside. It's too sweet. It fits right in with turh-of-the-20th century decor. If no one stops to figure .. back, you cguld use it with late 19th century, or even 18th cen- tury 'furnishings, because, of course, it is an antique and who minds mixing periods? But, there's something else. You don't have to use the tele- phone -type raido cabinet. There's the early American tea -kettle with a trivet to stand on. No one would ever guess you had stray- ed so far as to let a new-fangled CORNERED - Under condem- nation regulations in Dallas only the portion of a building actually impending progress of construction may be touched by the wreckers. The rest of this building went to make way for a new highway, but wreck- ers scrupulously left the one corner which did not infringe an the right-of-way. WHERE BRANDING COMES EARLY - In the cow -conscious South- west; branding comes early - to boys and animalis. Fiveyoung wranglers from Sam Houston elementary school .,brand a calf while classmates lean on the corral fence to kibitz. Holding the animal are, left to right, Gerald Nobles Jr.,, William Anthony, Forest' Edwards and John Cusack. Applying the iron is Clarence Sharbauer 111, son of the ranch's owner. The class spent the day getting a taste of range life. Each child helped. radio inject its alien influence into your early American room if you hid it in an. antique teakettle. It's portable, too. What teakettle isn't? Whenreat- reat- randniother g g g ' had the old fireplace sealed up and replaced with a shiny new stove such as Benjamin Frank- lin had invented, .her tabby cat purred with pride. and satisfac- tion as she sat before it. This was comfortable modern living! But Hien: came furnaces, and stoves went to the basement or the junk yard. However, their day was not, done, writes Jessie Ash Arndt in the Christian' Science Monitor. In another generation• or so, the old houses that still stood where grandparents had left them, when they moved to their "new" houses, had undergone a , change. They were now 'DEAR OLD" houses. They could be "restored." ' Fireplaces were opened, lay- ers of paint peeled off to get down to the original color which was carefully matched. And if every room hadn't a fireplace, why not a Franklin stove? For heat? Oh, not neces- sarily. How about television? Why not sit before the cozy comfort of a pretty little stove to enjoy Victor Berge or "Meet the Press," or to watch your favorite team trounce its op- ponents: And no one would ever guess that there 9was a modern note in the dear old house unless Junior should dial his favorite western just as company walk- ed in. Maybe times do change but not much. We have the same old sadirons, but now they're door stops! LIVING IT UP Meet a man who claims to have worked longer than any other man ever lived Mr. S. Goven- der, of Lenz, near Roodeport, South Africa. His age? He's 105. He stopped work oq a farm in 1954, when he was 101, after working, he says, ever since he was a small boy. Mr. Govender is an Indian. He attributes his wonderful,. longevity to the fact that he has worked all his life .in the open. 6. Assigned to,a 39. Strive' station- 26. Tavern 7. Behave 86, Wee 8.
