Elaborate hair -do's may be in order as n' the years creep up, but in the * teens they are out. After all, * the hair should be only the * background for her face. • Watch the rouge. Many a girl's fresh beauty is cheap- * ened by its use; her natural * coloring is usually sufficient. * Face powder must be carefully 'z matched with the skin and ap- * plied with the lightest touch. '' As to lipstick, be on guard. • Delicate coloring needs the '' faintest rose treatment, not the * crimson slash. A good cologne * is always refreshing, but never * fall for cheap perfume, it's * a dead giveaway. * Light cleansing cream and ,a a delicate soap keep the nor- * mal skin in condition. Smart * girls watch their diet, and will * not coarsen or irritate the skin * through use of heavy fats or * too many sweets. Pencil -like * eyebrows went out long ago. * Brows can be brushed into * shape and a light oil will en- * courage them to stay that * way. Mascara, of course, is for- "` bidden. * A deodorant is a must. A * weekly manicure is important; * most girls learn to do it them- * selves, following the nail's na- * tural shape and treating the * cuticle gently. s Whenin doubt, the smart * girl consults a reliable beauty * salon and puts herself in their • care. She can learn a lot by s watching their skilled meth- * ods. * TO "GROWN-UP NOW": * Follow these rules, and you * can't go wrong; if you follow * your own, you'll be laughed * at. Lord Chesterfield's advice * to his son includes: "Take * great care always to be dressed * like the reasonable people of * your own age ... whose dress * is never spoken of one way * or another, as either too negli- * gent or too much studied." * You may not agree with this, * but he might well have writ- * ten it today for his daughter * if he'd had one. * * * Dress and manners can make THEY LAUGH AT BLISTERS - "Grandma Walker" Court and her donkey, "Uranium," consider that a big.joke's afoot as they prepare to walk the 150 miles of road between Kennewick and Spokane. Grandma will have travelled twice the distance by the time she finishes the jaunt, as she'll lead Uranium for a few miles, then backtrack to pick up her auto, meet Uranium, and take off on foot once again. All this in preparation for a cover- ed -wagon tour in search of inspiration for her paintings. Yes, She Has Some Bananas—Eats 10,000 a Year Because she suffers from a rare stomach complaint; five- year-old Susan Morgan of Pon- chatoula, Louisiana, has eaten almost 20,000 bananas since her third birthday. It is reckoned that she will have eaten about 70,000 by the time she is ten years old, and she will have to go right on eating bananas at a steady rate, until she is fifteen. The banana problem in the Morgan family is so acute that the State Welfare Board has granted Susan's father eight dol- lars a month to buy bananas for the little girl. Doctors hope the complaint will disappear by the time she turns fifteen. 9:. 5:'.� . /- kk?:•' L ". .;•^.'•k2;2.'rd ::i5 .:5:.....^...xk:a,W.-n.:..:4:...h'.+:a.ja`Iulau..:7i<+n.. - .

YrAlways end abl 211 Build -It -Yourself Aeroplane Craze A Build -It -Yourself aeroplane movement is zooming across the continent. nue elxperimental Aircraft Association, with national heads,' quarters at Milwaukee, on Lake Michigan, has 1,200 members. There are thirteen organized groups of eight or more in cities from coast to coast, Ten pros- pective groups are being, form- ed There are individual mem- bers in ten other countries. A soldier in Korea requested plans so that he could start building a 'plane in his spare time. Paul H. Poberenzy, a service pilot, organized the group in, 1953. "1 believe that encouraging fellows to put their ideas into a design and build it," he says, "may some day pay off with a practical aircraft with the util- ity of the automobile." Now employee as mainten- ance officer with the National Guard in Milwaukee, Poberen- zy presides over monthly meet- ings of the headquarters group, whose members arrive for the evening from 150 to 200 miles away, Once a year comes a big "flys in" at Milwaukee airport. ISSUE 26 -. 1955 Everyone who can get a home - built 'plane in the air has it there on exhibit. Most of the builders concen- trate on midget 'planes. Some build from the ground up, others smarten up factory -built ships. Norman G. Bluhm, president of the Cleveland group, is work- ing on .a wrecked 1932 Mono - coupe which he bought for $325. "When I finish I'll have a 'plane worth twelve hundred dollars. It will out -perform the current commercial small 'planes. I hope to see a pro- gramme of sports racing over the country - testing the work of our hands in .a manner simi- lar to the sports car meets,'he says. The Civil Aeronautics Ad- ministration keeps a stern . but fatherly eye on the goings on. Once out of the garage, an ex- perimental ship must pass a progression of ground and air tests. A good 'plane can be li- censed,' finally, for everything but hauling commercial passen- gers. West Coast members built a 'plane so light it had to be hook- ed to the nearest man -hole cov- er to prevent it from taking off while being started. The pilot flew it lying on his stomach. Another, the Fly Cycle (photo above), was flown astraddle like riding a horse or motor- cycle. Loving's Love, built in Detroit by Neal Loving, was flown 2,200 miles to Jamaica in seventeen hours flying time. Do-it-yourself aeroplane build- ing leads ,down strange paths. In Sky Harbour, Maine, two builders needed an oddly shaped plastic bubble for the cockpit. They fiinally formed it by using the town baker's oven. RONICLES /i1NGERFARM Where is the ideal location for a farm home? Don't you some- times wonder? I certainly do If you could move your farm to a different district where would you go? Here are we, just a nice distance back from a good paved highway. Cars pass our place at fifty (?) miles an hour but yet there is no dust to annoy us. And if we go out, as long as we stay on the highway the travel- ling is good. However, that isn't always possible. Yesterday, for instance, I drove about five miles along one of our gravel sideroads where road work has been in progress for several weeks. ; 1 was literally eating dust and 1 couldn't help wonder- ing how farm people along that road could put up with it. lot only is the dust a nuisance, it is also a menace. Children walk- ing along the road to and from school cannot be seen iinmedi- ately after a car has passed by and drivers have to be particu- larly cautious climbing the hills lest a careless driver might emerge from the dust on the wrong side of the road. After my little trip across country the leather upholstery in niy car wasn't fit to sit on. I came to the conclusion that living on a highway spoils one for travelling on others roads. And yet in other respects .it is so much nicer living farti:er out in the country, away frotr, the highway. Farm houses sur- rounded with aging trees; old apple orchards: cows drinking down at the creek; uullrushes in • the s w a rri p; red -winged blackbirds darting in and out among the willows •- on our farm we never see a red -winged blackbird at all. Weigh the ad- vantages against the disadvan- tages and what have you? I still don't know. I /suppose a lot de- pends upon what one wants and one's ability to cope with disad- vantages. I have in mind one farm, the home of an elderly couple. They have cattle, but there is no milking - short- horn calves are left with the cows. A never -failing stream provides water in the tree - shaded pasture. A few hens, on free range, supply the house with eggs. Occasionally a hen lays away and comes out with a clutch of fluffy chicks. It seems like an ideal set-up - a type of farming, if you can call it that, that is just a way of living. But then you come to the house ... no hydro, no la- bour-saving devices, a lovely garden and all kinds of house- plants but at night just a coal - oil lamp to lighten the darkness - to say nothing of outdoor plumbing. No,. I just couldn't take it. In this day and age that is pastoral living carried to extremes. It seems to me people past middle life need the amenities of mod- ern living even though they bury themselves in the woods. However, the foregoing are just imaginary problems. The difficulties we have to deal with today are real . .. but very! Last week Partner sold all the milking cows to one buyer. The trucker was to pick them up first thing this morning. It is now mid-morning and he still hasn't arrived - and we have two men waiting to help load. However, we just got a phone call to say he would be here right after dinner. So here we are, just on edge, waiting around until the truck conies -- while the cows wait patiently down in their stalls, little knowing this is the last day they will spend in surroundings that have been familiar to them since calfhood. It is a very hot day, which doesn't make things easier. How- ever, we understand the truck is air-conditioned, . padded and separated into several compart- ments with two men in charge who know how to deal with cattle. So maybe the cows will be cooler on the road then they would be in the pasture. In the meantime they are cool and comfortable in the stable. At a time like this I can't help think- ing of the difference between dealing with animate and inani- mate things. If we were selling a car or a piece of equipment it wouldn't matter much when the buyers came for their purchase. But cows are creatures of flesh and blood so we naturally have some concern for their welfare. How anyone could feel other- wise I don't know. And after the cattle are gone ... no cows for Partner to milk! It sounds too good to be true. We shall still have young heiters and a few calves and there will be a dry cow to go out later, but nothing to milk at all. We have been looking forward to this day for a long time but until the cows are safely loaded we shall put in a few anxious hours. Just now is a particularly good time for the cows to go as I expect to be away for a little while and 1 shall certainly go with an easier mind knowing that Part- ner has a lot less work to do, But oh dear, sell a few cows and what rumours you hear! 1 was told down town that we had sold the farm. That definitely isn't true. We haven't even got it listed nor have we given the matter any consideration what- soever. But of course if anyone came along and offered us at fantastic price . . . well, there is no telling what might happen.
