Homes By Computer Before long, you may plan your dream home with the aid of a computer. The computer will show you various designs, and any special features which you desire. It will even take you "inside" rooms. ' The University of Utah is developing such a system, using a UNI VAC 1108 com puter to display designs on a small television-like screen. In an architect's, or build er's office, the system would work like this: You would give the gen eral specifications for your home. ? Using a typewriter-like de vice, the architect would send these details to the computer. The computer, in turn, would respond on the screen with a shaded perspective pic ture of the house. By manipulating a control s t i ck, resembling an air plane's, thf architect could then rotate the image of the house so that you could view it from all sides Since the designs are three dimensional, he could even show you the interiors of rooms. If you wanted a "stan dard" design, the architect would simply give the com puter an identification num ber. The design would flash on the screen in less than a second. Probably, however, the client will want some changes made -rooms enlarged, win do ws deleted or moved, porches changed, and so on. The architect commands the computer to make these c h anges. The results im mediately show on the screen. The computer will even tell whether certain changes are undesirable; if re locating a door, for instance. WANTED! MEN-WOMEN from ages Handover.

PHONE 496-3612 HOMES BY COMPUTER -- A UNI VAC 1108 computer at the University of Utah is being used experimentally to aid architects design homes. The computer shows design details in three dimensions on a television-like screen. causes it to hit another door. Finally, after architect and client have decided on a de sign, the computer will pro duce exact drawings for blue prints. The University of Utah re searchers believe that some day such blueprints wont be needed. Instead, builders would use their own visual screens connected to a central computer, and ask for con struction details as they need ed them. The giant 1108 computer in the system is a product of Sperry Rand Corporation's UN1VAC Division. Each of its desighs is composed of tens of thousands of geometric components and millions of relationships between com ponents. The 1108 can make over one million calculations per second.' According to the com p a n y , computer-connected cathode ray tube display screens are also revolutioniz-' ing many other areas of bus iness and industry. Using such screens, airline clerks can see at a glance which seats are available on planes and the times of con necting flights. Doctors can view, in a few seconds, a patient's complete medical records. The display screens are also being used in teach ing, engineering, and numer ous other fields. The computer-aided dis play devices belong to a field called "Computer Graphics." According to Robert E. McDonald, President of UNIVAC, such graphic de vices will hive as large an impact on the computer bus iness in the next decase as computers in general have had on business and industry in the past ten years.

Start Early, Stay Young While talking with a mother of tlx children, some very interesting facta were learned. This mother, a pretty woman in her middle forties could easily pass for a woman of thirty-one or two. Her figure was like that of a young girl. Her skin was bright and clear, and so were her eyes. According to her, it is not difficult to stay youthful and attractive-looking If you start soon enough to keep your stomach muscles tight and work to keep off excess weight. She went on to say that she believes it Is very impor tant to look attractive and neat for her family. She has lots of cottons; they are inex penaive to buy and to care for, so she can always look fresh-even doing housework. The care she gives her complexion Is simple, and baaed on complete clean liness. She removes all make up with a light, non-greasy lotion. Next comes a cleaning with soap and water. She believes it is Important to be gentle when cleaning your face because hard rubbing will cause muscles to sag. She thinks a moderate amount of sun Is s tonic for the skin and the hair, aa wed. The last tip, and the all-im portant one, la to live a serene life, filled with wholesome pursuits. Health And Beauty "Character is the indivi duality which is the product of nature, habits and environ ment; an individual conceived of in the abstract as a per sonality embodying distinc tive characteristics and hab its." We inherit our natures, but they are shaped and moulded largely by environment. Prop er surroundings and teachings in childhood, provided the child has a good inheritance, will usually develop him into an individual of good charac ter. He will be a valuable and useful citizen. He is dependa ble, sincere and honest. When he sets himself a task, he applies all his energies to its execution, with determina tion and fixedness of pur pose. He may have many dif ficulties to surmount, but he does not yield to discourage ment. Hate, malice, vindictive ness and treachery are quali ties which are not found in the heart of a man with an admirable character. He is pa tient, understanding and for giving in his nature. Not thinking alone of self he Is always ready to share his time and means for the bet terment of his fellowmen. He finds contentment of soul, and he Is loved and honored by those who know him well. The Psalmist says, "Mark the perfect man and behold the upright for the end of that man is peace." This Is a picture of a man of true and upright character. It is beauti ful and ennobling. We love to contemplate it. None of us is perfect. We are all mixtures to some ex tent of the good and bad, but we can all strive to supplant the evil traits with good ones. O ne trouble with the world is that there are too many people who do no work. Dr. Albert Edwards Speaker At Ladies Night Youngsville ? Dr. Albert ?dwards.
