Tatolous’ 15 Years
Radical Changes Seen
In Houses, Cars and
Industry
By 1975, a nation that has
grown to 230 million in popula
tion will have built an addi
tional 22 million homes, cook
dinner in “miracle” kitchens, rely
on ultrasonic sound waves to
wash clothes, which w;ll be made
mostly of synthetics, eat meat
that is tenderized on the hoof •
and frozen-dried fruits and vege
tables, and drive cars of light
weight aluminum, steel or plas
tic, according to Changing
Times, the Kiplinger Magazine.
The current issue of the maga
zine, looking ahead for the next
15 years, points out that idefes
which may seem far-fetched
now are not nearly so remote as
present day products—jet planes, i
dishwashers and disposals, anti-1
biotics—were 15 years ago, at I
the close of World War 11.
Examining the “fabulous sis- 1
teen years ahead,” the magazine,
editors see a population growth I
from 182 million to 230 million; I
a gross national product in the
neighborhood of a trillion dol
lars; inflation that will shrink
the dollar another 25%; indivi
dual incomes that are up 50%.
The most growth will be in the
West, Southwest, Southeast and
the upper tier of the midwestern
states, they predict, with the
biggest population boosts coining
in small fry. teenagers and young ,
adults.
All this grov.'th. according to
the editors, means more homes, .
more jobs, more schools. The ,
working force will be around .
100 million, over 30 million of j
them women. A higher per- |
centage of them will be whi'e
collar workeis, and the trend ;
from farm to city and industry ‘
will continue. Professional poo- j
pie will be in demand, and the (
coming construction boom wll
make jobs for contractors, car- j
penters, electricians and plumb
ers. The government particu
larly state and local gove' n
ment will employ about 25% J
more people.

Plastic Houses
In housing construction, the
l editors predict, builders will
have to trim the price of con
struction to equalize rising land
l costs. One way will be more
prefabrication of wall and roof
panels, flooring, brick work and
even plumbing and electrical as
i semblies. Houses will be made
. of plastic—walls, floors, exterior,
even the roof, with colors mold
ed in, thus solving the problem
of painting and maintenance;
aluminum panel switches may
, eliminate structural framework
, since they would be load bear
ing. Such walls, hooked up to
■ an electrical current, could also
be used for heating, as could
decorative wail surfaces of
aluminum. Porcelain - enameled
aluminum bathroom equipment
is an the way, as well as more
lightweight aluminum appliances.
In steel, the magazine sees a
revival of the all-steel prefab
house, using the curtain wall
principle that has proved suc
cessful for office buildings, as
I well as interior walls—textured
| and patterned in steel—that are
I mounted on rollers for rear
i rangement whenever the mood
strikes.

Tomorrow's Kitchen
Tomorrow's kitchen is already
on the way, the article continues.
There will be units consisting of
a freezer and electronic oven
that will produce a full meal in
10 or 15 minutes; cabinets, ov
ens, dishwashers and refrigera
tors that can be automatically
lowered or raised to suit the
housewife; automatic plastic dish
makers in the kitchen; ultra
sonic dishwashers, noiseless re
frigerators. There will be re
frigerated cabinets and drawers
scattered around the kitchen,
stoves that can be turned off
and on by dialing “instructions”
from a phone booth; concealed
faucets; built-in beverage bars;
plug-in gas appliances; servers
and dishwashers that automatic
ally go back and forth between
kitchen and dining room or pa
tio; water heaters that never
run out of hot water.
Housekeeping By Remote Control
The housewife will have vacu
um cleaners that run themselves,
and homes in the suburbs will
have power mowers that do the
same thing. Small washer-dry
ers will replace the bathroom
hamper; closed-circuit TV will
help keep an eye on the baby;
fuel cells in the basement will
provide power.
Ultrasonic sound . waves will
wash dishes and clothes. Ther
moelectric refrigerators, freez
eis and air conditioners will be
quieter and more efficient. Ra
dios, TV sets and hi-fi equip
ment will be smaller, as tiny
compactrons, diodes and tran
sistors continue to replace bulky

tubes and other components.
New Food, New Clothes
The magazine sees a whole
| new family of synthetics on the
| way, to make clothing light, dur
able, easily maintained. Also, in
j another ten years or so the rt
j tide predicts food stores will be
selling beef, and maybe pork,
lamb and poultry, tenderized an
the hoof through special feeding
of the cattle; precooked canned
roast beef; freeze-dried foods —
foods that are dried, then froz
en and put into airtight cans or
pouches where they will keep
for years. As for atomic-radi
ated foods (no refrigeration
needed), the editors say re
search is well along »and they
should be available between now
and 1975.
Traffic Jam
Growth over the next 15 years
will also create a traffic jam,
according to Changing Times.
By 1975, nearly three-quarters
of the population will live and
work in metropolitan areas. To
move them from home to job
and back will make today’s com
muting problems look simple.
The answer, the editors predict,
will be major emphasis on rapid
transit systems.
But there still will be cars—
although they will look differ
ent, may function in different
ways. The roof may be made of
indestructible, glasslike ma
terials. Bodies will be of light
weight steel, aluminum, maybe
even of plastic so tough it can
compete with metals. Motors
will be smaller and routine
maintenance will be far less of
a problem than now. Other
changes will include total disap
pearance of the floor rump; de
vices that consume exhaust
fumes and gases; centray hy
draulic units providing power
for brakes, steering wheels, wip
ers, air conditioning, suspension;
limited use of gas turbine en
gines.
And the electronic highways—
there may be some stretches,
with cars properly equipped to
use them, by 1975.

George Washington, Sam Houston, Names on Immortal Roster
Early Leaders Set Citizen-Soldier
Standards for Duty in Peace or War '
..George Washington, at the'
age of 22, commanded a Vir
ginia Militia regiment in the
French and Indian Wars. Even
as a young man, Washington
believed in a principle which he
later in life expressed in these
words: “Every citizen who en
i joys the protection of a free
government owes not only a
portion of his property but even
of his personal services to the
defense of it-” George
Washington’s Birthday is also
widely observed as “National
Guard Muster Day.” On “Mus
ter Day” the National Guard
salutes the memory of the First
President militiaman in the
“civilian-soldier” tradition.

1 In the Mexican War a cry
rang out above the din of battle
on a fateful day at Buena Vista,
“Stand Fast, Mississippians!”
This was the beginning of the
legend of the famed Mississippi
Rifles whose commander was
Colonel Jeff Davis.

Pitted against each other un

69th New York and the 4th Ala

of the Nation re-united when
these two regiments, redesig
nated the 165th Infantry (New
York) and 167th Infantry (Ala
bama) fought shoulder-to-shoul
der in France during World War
I, with the famed 42nd Rainbow
Division. “We ure young men of
promising pasts, but durned un
certain futures,” a young sol
dier wrote in Ohio Rainbow Re
view. By the time the Armistice
brought WWI to a close the
Rainbow Division was among
those rated as toughest by the
German High Command. Six of
the eight “toughest” were Na
tional Guard divisions.

The 1940-41 mobilization of
the Guard immediately doubled
the site, of the Army. Nearly
80)000 Guardsmen were commis
sioned officers by the time they
left active service. Twenty
WWII Guardsmen earned the
iWtion’s highest award.for val
or, the Medal of Honor.
The first Guardsmen to see
action in World War II were
tankers and coast artillerymen
who fought valiantly in the fall
of the Philippines. Artillerymen
from Texas were diverted to the
Dutch East Indies where many
volunteered for duty as B-17
gunners in the early, grim days
of “too little, too late.”

Nine National Guard Divi
sions saw service in the Pacific
and nine went to the ETO. The
only U. S. WWII division with
a name instead of a number was
the “Amei-ical” (for Americans’
in New Caiedonia). The hard
.core of this division, which
saved Henderson Field on Gua--
dalcanal, were National Guard
regiments from North Dakota,
Massachusetts, and Illinois.

In looking back at 34 cam

iii WWII, Secretary of War
Robert P. Patterson remarked,
“The soldiers of the National
Guard fought in every action in
which the Army participated
from Bataan to Okinawa. They
made a brilliant record on every
fighting front. They proved
once more the value of the
trained citizen-soldier.”
At Arling

symbolically re

he said. “I return these colors
to the National Guard. I hope
they will use them to train,
young men in the interests of
peace and in the welfare of
the country.

sure they will do just that.” v

From 44 federally-recognized
individuals enrolled in the Na
tional Guard in June, 1946, the
membership swelled to 369,489

the outbreak of hostilities in'

Korea: Approximately one-third
of the Army National Guard,
about 85 c /o of the Air Guard. (

Oklahoma’s 45th Division were
soon on the battle line in Korea.
From Arkansas and Texas the

not until February 1956, two

Armistice that the last National-

both Army and

forces. For the
Air Guard
there was “Op

tant tactical air support test.
The Tactical Air Force em
ployed was commanded by-» 1
New Jersey Air Guardsman,
Brigadier General Donald J.*i

plishment was the airlift of a
complete Utah Army National
Guard Artillery battalion from
Hill Air Force Base (Ogden) to
Puerto Rico, 3,500 miles. This
was in “Operation Big Slam/
Puerto Pine,” and marked the,
first airlift of an Army Na-'
tional Guard ba 11 a1 i o n-si*e
force over a great distance in
an Active Army maneuver. The
exercise was a 100% success
and prompted a Utah newspa
perman to write, “We can no
longer think of the National
Guard as a Monday night sanc
