BENSON k PmUft?Xiriiit Ctlltfe H Startf Jkrkmut a The Third "R" For a short while before my first day at school, and for several weeks after, I heard a gTeat deal of con versation about the three R's of education. My elders seemed to expect me to think it was very fun ny that the three #*? should stand (or reading, writing and arithmetic. It left an impression, to say the least. I still know that education includes some variety. One of the things about modern education that dismays me is the fact that students don't pursue the three te* long enough. They are at liberty too early to ignore one of them?tha last one. Figures are dry at first and a lot of youngsters drop mathematics. High school freshmen have learned to say "it's only a waste of time to study things you don't like and will never use." Ignorance Is Costly "What you don't know doesn't hurt you," is rubbish. Certainly what you don't know does not do you any good. Truly an actor may draw a fabulous salary for years and die In debt. Talcs are told of artists and musicians who can't balance their check stubs. Their ignorance of math did not make them better artists. It would be like saying liquor made Poe a poet, or that harems make great kings. A national poll might show that millions of Americans don't know what it means to balance the budget. It wouldn't be surprising; most of us don't even have a per sonal budget, we live so easily and well. But our national budget needs to be balanced. People who try to laugh that off don't know what it means or, worse yet, would wel come national bankruptcy as a step ping stone to revolution. What Does It Mean? Balancing a budget, whether it is a family budget or a national budget, means keeping a safe rela tion between Income and outgo. The inevitable result of spending more than we get Is debt, bankruptcy and loss of credit. That's just another way of saying "loss of our good name and the respect of our neigh bors." When we stop paying ovr debts and start breaking our prom ises. that's loss of credit. Uncle Sam is on his way to that social level. He has not reached it yet, but when he does it will be too late to save him. Now Is the time to balance the national budget. I was never so proud of my home state as when the entire Arkansas delegation in Congress, senators and representatives" went on record in March as favoring a balanced na tional budget That's practical statesmanship. Bead These Troths "A balanced federal budget can be accomplished in the next fiscal year if congress will meet its full responsibility and adopt a pro gram of economy. By considering each appropriation bill in tha. Ught of its effect on total necessary ex penditures, we can hold the cost of government within the annual reve nues collected. , . . The time to be gin is now." So said the statement Habitually spending money we do not have can't help but lead this nation to eoUapse, and nothing worse could happen to the world's ?r"T Your New Home Trend in Home Construction Moves Toward Factory-made Units By W. WADSWORTH WOOD A STUDY of construction history shows a well-defined trend to ward large units built in the fac tory and assembled on the job. The neon m hi v . 1 i nP fW\ method is in the best American tra dition ; it has brought world fame to American pro duction and played a major part in winning the war. It means uniformly better workman ship and lower production costs, to j the benefit and greater living enjoy- I ment of the entire population. In the building industry until very recently, it was customary to make ! windows and frames on the job, and within the past decade it has still been general practice to construct stairways individually for each house. Now entire window units complete with frame, sash, weather - stripping, screen, storm sash and hardware, all fitted, paint- i ed and glazed at the factory will be sent to the job in a package, ready for the carpenters to slip into the opening. Pre - assembled doors are also available, complete with hardware, frame and trim. Even before the war it was pos sible to obtain factory-built kitchen cabinets. Now, in a very short time you may have ready-made storage units completely fitted with shelves, hooks and racks for cloth ing. Closets, chests of drawers, dressing tables or desks will all be available in built-in models. More and more houses are being constructed on the "modular" plan, which means that rooms, regardless of their arrangement in the house, are built according to pre-deter mined dimensions. This will greatly facilitate the use of standard-size, factory-built walls and equipment. Materials such as plastics, glass and large sheets of plywood and insulation board are easier to handle and ihape at the factory. Mass production of metals for home-building makes possible pre viously impracticable uses for alu minum, bronze and steel. Factory buying power and skilled supervis ion will result In uniformly better materials; factory laboratories can undertake scientific research and tests on a mass basis that would otherwise be impossible. If you desire, you may obtain not only partial but complete prefab rication ? an entire house deliv ered to the site ready to be as sembled on the foundations. A great many people have been deterred from choosing the prefabricated house by the thought that they must accept something unattractive in appearance. Today this is not the case. Many more companies have entered the field, offering a wide variety of handsome selections that rival many small home designs pro duced by the on-the-site method. The increase in prefabrication need not mean drab "standardi zation." It is distinctly possible to incorporate better design into the mass-produced unit; mass produc tion of automobiles, for example, has greatly bettered automotive design. A great many styles will be available, so that architects and builders will have an unlimited as sortment of handsome units from which to choose. We are today faced by an extreme nation-wide housing shortage. It is estimated that full production under present methods will barely be suf ficient to keep pace with current deterioration; it can, therefore, make no reduction in the 12-year backlog of required dwelling units. Only new methods and greater ef ficiency will give us hope of ade quate housing for all within 10 to 20 years. Labor and builder alike j must co-operate to further the use of these new methods. In the final I analysis, the amount of progress made in this field depends on you, I the consumer. j function* now idling along; of the men whote energies might be trans ferred to the credit column. In every locality there is uncounted waste that should be and can be transformed into ? bit of thrift. Uncle Sam Says Atom bombs will soon be explod- , In* over the Psciflc Ocean in a naval operation to assure jour se curity. At flrst glance, there seems . little connection between atom bombs bursting over a Beet of ships and your continued investment in : United States Savings Bonds. Think a moment, friend. Allotment of a portion of your current income for savings bonds Is also an operation to assure family security. V. S- Trtant} Drfmanl Pork and Lamb Liver. Pork and lamb liver are as valu able nutritionally as calf and bee I liver. In fact, pork liver often con tains double or more the iror of calf liver. Rich in inn. copper and animal protein especially need ed for building good red blood, liver also Is a good source of vitamin A and the B vitamins, and even con tains vitamin D. Before cooking, remove the skin from pork and mature beef liver. The akin is less tough then, so eas ier to get off. Tender young liver calf, lamb or baby beef ? usually does not need skinning. For calf or baby beef liver, scald ing (dipping in boiling water before cooking) is unnecessary. For lamb, pork or mature beef liver that is to be broiled or sauteed, scalding gen erally improvise flavor. Also, since It helps "sets" the Juices, scalding makes liver easier to grind or chop Wafer Softeners By all means use a water softener 1 on wash day if the water is hard. 1 The succesa or failure of laundering it largely governed by the quality of the water used. Because of wa ter hardness, wash-day grayness may result. More soap is required, also. Soften hard water before soap is added, thereby preventing the formation of lime soap curds, which are insoluble. There are many good, inexpensive packaged water softening compounds on the mar ket. Two types are generally avail able?those that cause cloudiness and precipitate in the water and those that leave the water clear. Non-precipitating softeners will give the best washing results. Thin Honey for Sweetening When honey is used for sweeten ing such foods as dry cereals and chilled fruits, it will do a better iob if it la thinned slightly. Add about a tablespoon of hot water per cup of honey, place It over hot water and stir the mixture until the honey and water are thoroughly blended. Honey should not be placed over di rect heat, as it burns easily. High temperature causes it to darken in color and lose some of its fine fla vor and aroma. Store honey in a tightly covered container in a dry room at about 70 degrees F. to pre vent discoloration and retard crystallization. Do not store it in the refrigerator. The cool temperature will cause it to crystallize, and once It has crystallized, there is danger of fermentation.
