BIGGEST BANG
Scientists say that the greatest
explosion in history was the vol-
canic explosion of the Javanese
island, Krakotoa, in 1883; the big-
gest atomic explosion we've had
so far doesn't hold a candle to
that one. The blast sent six to
ten cubic miles of earth 20,000
feet into the air. The roar was
heard distinctly 3,000 miles away,
and the waves started by the
blast were recorded at London,
8,000 miles away, For two years,
the dust -laden atmosphere pro-
duced brilliant dawns and sun-
sets all over the world.

Hope is rather a spineless qua
ter unless we give it a boost wi
a little honest -to -goodness 01

For instance we may hope

she comes for her usual;`wint

us hope ;,that. this talk about

but what are we doing, to abrin
about the fulfilment,,. off' o.
hopes? Hope won't ' get ..thos
extra job; done, nor will i
write` a single letter. And. hop
never yet made anyone easie
to live with. Tolerance, syn•}
pathy and understanding ac
coniplish far more. And for' goo
ness sake, what is the good'o
"hoping" ' that a recession is no
on the way? I have met quite
a number of farm folk — and
others --who are terribly wor-
ried because they think difficult
times are ahead. So what? Few
of them, as far as I know, are
doing anything about it. And yet
there is an old proverb that
tells us exactly what we should
do — "Hope for the best but
prepare for the worst." To me
that makes sense. If we work
hard to bring about a desir d
result then we have reason to
hope for success.
And that policy certainly ap-
plies to a possible recession --
a recession which is in fact al-
ready with us to a moderate ex-
tent. How can it be otherwise?
Farm produce prices are lower,
labour and running expenses
higher. The result is obvious, so
why shy away from the
thought? The honeymoon for
farm folk is over and we might
just as well realize it, Pile soon-
er we do the better chance we
have to combat it.
Of course there isn't much we
can do about falling markets —
except to watch for an oppor-
tune time for anything we have
to sell. Some farmers watch the
market trend, some don't. Send
cattle to market when there is
already a heavy carry-over, and
what can anyone expect but a
low price? Naturally there are
all kinds of farm economists
telling us how to grow better
crops, how to improve livestock;the best type of mhachinr+ry for
modern farming and so on. But
I notice few of therm give ad-
vice to the average Mind/ ed.
acre farmer on how to econo-
mise. Along that line farm folk
usually have to work out their
own salvation or they don't
--according to their ability and
ingenuity,

ing track of your income and
expenditure. Go over ;' your ac-
countsrifor 1953 — you will have
to sooner or later anyway to
make out your income tax re-
turns. But don't wait until the
last week in March, Do it NOW
while the year is still young,
and by so doing find out ways
and means by which you can
economise. Your way may not
be our way because we all have
different ideas on economy
However, only by a careful
, study of past accounts is it pos-
sible to find the loopholes
through which unnecessarily
high expenditure has been seep-
ing through. Ways and means
may differ but the same funda-
mental principle applies to all
farm folk wishing to economise
— cut down on the overhead
and reduce current expenditure.
That is possibly a better policy
than to try and increase one's
income -- at least by more in-
tensive farming. Grow more
erops, grow more produce, sell
more produce, and thus you help
to aggravate markets that are
already glutted. Price cuts auto-
matically follow with the farm-
er contributing to the very thing
he has been trying to avoid --
•a reduction in farm income
The very nature of his calling
makes it impossible for the far-
mer to go on strike — even if
he wanted to. But there is noth-
ing' to stop him following the
labour man's policy -- less
work, fewer working hours and
better pay. One farmer alone
cannot do it but it would be
possible if all farmers adopted
the same plan. You will ,notice
I said "fewer" -- not shorter
hours. Farm animals cannot be
put on trade union hours so to
put in less time the farmer
would have to arrange his
schedule to suit himself,
Well, so much for that and
if you would like to know, these
thoughts have come to me as a
result of going over our own
1953 accounts!

Though tinted finger nails
as old as Egypt, it wasn't u
the comparatively recent dev
opment of commercial lacqu antiquated pastes and p
dens were discarded in favor
quick -drying liquid, polishes.
Northam Warren, an Ameri
pharmaceutical chemist, is cr
ited with making one of Cl
patra's beauty secrets a 20th e
tury fashion. He had long c
sidered producing a lacquer su
stitute for the inefficient ha
buffers of the day. But the u
pleasant custom of cutting t
cuticle with scissors or a kit
diverted his attention for seve
years. And so,, it wasn't until t
young chemist had successful
formulated the first bottle
liquid cuticle remover in 19
that he was able to turn Ms mi
to manufacturing a quick-dryin
long-lasting lacquer for the nail
Finally, in 1916 the first brus
applied nail lacquer appeared
the market. It was colorless an
few women rushed out to buy i
The following year the chemi
altered his product slightly an
created a new fashion. He tin
ed the clear latequer with a pal
rose pigment. This was the birt
of a multi-million dollar Indus
try that has never known a de
pression.
Nail polish sold across th
counter today is a.vastly differen
product from the simple lacque
applied by more daring wome
during the First World War
Polishes now adhere better, dr
quicker, wear 'longer and haw
been specially compounded t
resist the effects of strong soaps
hot water and sea bathing. When
one woman complained that her
brightly manicured nails faded
at the beach, manufacturers
promptly set about making their
shades sun -fast as well.
New shades are now closely
cued to current color trends in
the fashion industry. The mom-
ent tangerine was introduced
several seasons back as n
tune color, nail polish manufac-
turers were ready with their out -
ties of tangerine -tinted nail lac-
quers. Last spring a pinkish hue
was the harmoniting nail fashion,
This spring it will probably be
. a bright, clear red.
Because there are endless vari-
ations of red and pink, nail pol-
ish is one of the most difficult
lacquers to produce. Key man
M the, manufacturing process is
the tinter. Because men some-
times see colors differently, Lint-
ers are always, tested first to de-
termine whether they actually
visualize colors as do the ma-
jority of people. Only after
years of experience in recogniz-
ing ' almost imperceptible vari-
ations in shades, do they qualify
as profesional tinters, '
As women are usually more
,sensitive to color than men, they
'' are sometimes engaged for color
comparison and final appoval
• work, However, since some of
the duties of a tinter involve
lifting heavy batches of lacquer
and pigments, few women are
attracted to this highly special-
ized—field.Manufacturers offer a tip to
women who complain about hav-
ing to toss out half-filled bottles
of nail polish because the unused
contents have become too thick
to spread evenly. This is often
the result of failing to screw the
cap on tightly enough, they say,
and suggest wiping the clogged
area around the bottle neck with
a facial tissue moistened in nail
polish remover before replacing
the cap.

Why Not "Col R.-
tye'Your Home?
Color -styling the outside of the
.house is becoming as fascinating
an adventure in decorating as
doing over the living room. Not
so long ago houses were painted
drab brown, buff, grey or green
to preserve the surface, Little
thought was given to enhancing
the design, Now, there are ex-
terior paints that vie with inter-
ior ones in color excitement.
They will do much more than just
protect property against the ele-
ments.
A well-chosen color scheme can
give a house an entirely new per-
sothlity, make it look larger, con-
ceal an ugly feature as well as
increase its resale, or rental
value considerably.
Among the newest paints tor
use is a line of suburbann
colors specially developed to col-
or -style erected or remodelled
city and suburban: homes. Bright
and cheerful, they have been de-
veloped to harmonize with sur-
rounding landscapes, the house
next door and each other, They
have a look of permanence about
them that helps overconu a new
community's lack of trees and
shrubs. All modern living colors,
they consist of a smokey blue,
a sparkling turquoise, Mother
Nature's own spruce, a cool coral,
a rich sungold and a refreshing
lime.
A house has two large color
areas—the roof and the walls.
They need not match. Usually
they don't. But their colors should
be carefully related. Hence this
family of harmonizing suburban
colors which help home ',owners
relate roof, walls, garage, gable
ends as well as such "accent
areas" as chimneys, shutters,
windows and doors.
If planning to remodel with
paint this spring, just follow the
same guides used when choosing
a dress or a suit. Dark colors
make areas look smaller, light
colors make them bigger, hori-
zontal panels of color give the
illusion of width, vertical panels
height, Warm colors advance,
cool colors recede, small areas of
bright Color balance sections 'of
subdued color.
Paint a small house set 'bac!;
from the street white and i1 • wi Il
loom larger and appear to ad-
vance several feet. Consider your
calor neighbors on either side
Select a basic shade • that will
harmonize with them. Try land-
scaping with color. If the trees
•and ,shrubs seem to overshadow
the house, light, warm colors will
help free it from the .mass of tol-
iage. On the other hand, if the
newly planted shrubs are 'siill
kneehigh, use a warm green such
as suburban spruce on the gable..
ends, walls or garage and the
house will assume an air of
greater solidarity,
Play down ugly features with
colors close to the wall shade.
Then use a strong color like sub-
urban coral or turquoise on one
feature, such as the front door „
to distract attention from less •
attractive parts. •
Finally, take a tip from nature
and keep the color scheme simple.
Let one shade dominate the,
house's color style, just as a single
color generally emphasizes. the
beauty of an individual flower.
Other colors in the individual
scheme can be in contrast or in
harmony with the featured one.
