Out of his despair, One man cries for the answer, "I was completely deceived by the woman," he writes, "whom I came to love beyond all else.

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. 400 Of The Trouble -- These two cornstalks, held by Joyce Chandler, were taken from fields where the Missouri Farmers Association t conducting experiments in the use of soil insect!. *ides. . th e stalk on the left suffered rtiatworm damage, while the stalk tin.the right, from a row treated with aldrin, had a3 healthy root system curd no rootworm damage, What Happened? -- Awe-struck by the huge heaps of snow that almost cover the entrance to her house, this little girl of Castel- tuccio, Italy, finds the world ',changed overnight.

Hoping ... co to think of it good fortune us ally needs more than hope encourage it, don't you. agre Hope is rather a spineless qua ter unless we give it a boost wi a little honest -to -goodness 01 fashioned grit and gumptio For instance we may hope get a lot of extra jobs done th wjter; hope he get, caught with ouxk";correspondence; ho that mother-in-law will be eas er to • live with this year wh she comes for her usual;`wint visit. And no doubt we all us hope ;,that. this talk about recession• is just talk and nothi else. We hope . „,we •liple,e• , , 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, Well, how can it be done, you may ask?

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!

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. are ntil el- uers ow - of can ed- eo- en- on- b- nd n - he ife ral he Iy of 11. nd g, s. h- on d t, st d t - e h e t rs n Y e 0 There is a handy new key - keeper for motorists who like to have an extra car key where they can easily find it.

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.
