The finish on refrigerator Is
subjected to a great variety of se
vere conditions. Its outer surfae is
in contact with a hot, steamy kit
chen, while the inner one is many
degrees lower. The finish must also
tvsist the inevitable hazards of
bumps from milk bottles, smears
of grease, spills of soup or fruit
juices, or energetic scrubbing with
alkaline cleaners. The excellent fin
ishes produced for refrigerator sur
faces these days takes such treat
ment without chipping or showing
the slightest variation from glc6m
Ing whiteness.
Waxes Supplement Finishes
Waxes are used to supplement
various types of finishes by pro
viding a temporary coating which
can be renewed at low cost. The
biggest use is on floors and auto
mobiles. One of the main sources
of wax is the canuuiba palm tree
which grows - In. Brazil; Nature ap
plies it to the leaves of the palm
to prevent the hut sun of the dry
season from drawing out the mois
ture supply stored up in the tree
during the time of the torrential
rains: "A year's harvest from five
trees usually approximates one
pound of .wax provided- 20 leaves
are harvested from each tree.
Asbestos Roof Coating
Asbestos or fibrous roof coating
Is used as a preservative and a
preventive. It Is ' especially suit
able for patch work and for stop
ping leaks on roofs. Inasmuch as
asbestos roof coating is a water
proofing material, it is sometimes
used for waterproofing the walls of
a basement or any foundation. This
material will prevent the rusting of
gutters, spoutings aid flashings
when they have been properly
primed with rust inhibhive paint.
The climate of the Gran Chaco
of Paraguay is like that of southern
Florida. ;
Poultry Flocks Healthier
'. Improved mefiods of fighting dis
ease are paying off in higher prof
its for poultrymen. Twenty-five
years ago before concerted effort!
were made to reduce flock losses
poultrymen thought they were doing
all right when they were able to
raise 60 to 75 per cent of a brood
of baby chicks. Today, however,
efficient poultrymen are saving 90
per cent of practically every brood
and realizing better profits as the
result. .
The Gran Chaco of Paraguay
still in the Wild West stage.
is
' Venezuela's Wading BIrda '
During Venezuela's rainy seas
on, species of egret, heron, ibis,
svork, and other wading birds es
cape land enemies by nesting abov
protective floods. In exchange,
they accept the hazard of the razor
toothed piranha, or cannibal fish.
When wind or rain dislodges an
egg of yourg of the nesting birds,
a vicious horda of piranhas rusheV
to the spot where the victim fall
into the water, and in second! it
Is devoured.
North America has 21.3 persons

with a eltfar title to honors as the
oldest citizen ever to hold the of
fice of vice-president, or President,
of the United States. During 1950
the "Veep" passed two of the only
three U. S. vice-presidents who had
held the office at a riper age than
his when he was inducted on Jan.
20, 1949.

gum from the boy's
dency at the close of Franklin D.
Roosevelt's second term. He was
then 72 years, one month 29 days
old. On Aug. 16, Mr. Barkley at
tained 72 years, eight months, 25
days, which was the age at which
vice-president George Clinton died
in the office in 1812 during James
Madison's first term as President.
The third is the late Charles Cur
tis, Herbert Hoover's running mate.
Mr. Curtis was born January 25,
1800 and left the office March 4,
1933. He was then 73 years, one
month, seven days . . . Mr. Bark
ley's age on New Year's eve.
The nation has never had a 70-year-old
President. However, two
have come very close. Andrew
Jackson's second and final term
ended March 4, 1837, with his 70lh
birthday only 11 days off. James
Buchanan, the only bachelor to
hold the office, stepped down in
1861, less than two months before
reaching three score and ten.
President Truman, on completing
his present term early in 1953, will
be 68 years, eight months, 12 days
out-vintaged only by Jackson
and Buchanan among the 32 men
who have been Presidents of the
United Slates.
Early presidents lived longer
than presidents today. John Adams,
for instance, lived well into his
91st year. Six others, after retire
ment as chief executives, lived be
vond the present ace of former
President Herbert Hoover 76.
The first 10 Presidents averaged
77 vcars of life, while the 10 most
recent Presidents who are now Hv
ine. averaged only 63 years.
Levi P. Morton, Benjamin Harri
son's vice-president, spanned the
vcars from 1824 to 1920, to set a
record of 90 years to the very day.
Morton and John Adams alone, a'
mong 35 who have been vice-presi
dent, lived beyond 85, the present
age of Charles Gates Dawes. Cal
vin Conlidec's teammate, now liv-
Thomas Jefferson, who reached
83, and who, like John Adams, was
one of 10 vice-presidents who be
came President, stands between
Dawes and John Garner. The lat
