Karty tnis ml tne Xurnage company sponsored « meeting in th* Town Had - and the response was phenomenal. 300 “in vites” were mailed; more than 16ti persons-attended, or a return of well over 50 per cent. The unique invita tions might have been partly respon sible for the huge turn-out. They were wrapped around, and bound to, corn-cobs. The address was on s shipping tag, wired to the cob. The results were anything but “corny.” “Old Dobbiif and “Kate,” or what ever else might be the nameadf moles and work-horses, are the latest /vic tims in ti»l« locale of the machine age. Farms are being mechanised and the plodding, but slow, work ani mals are being forced out of business by the tractor rush. Mrs. Wave Hou ston, one of . our favorite persons, was talking about the havoc the trac tor boom is having on the winter operations of Husband Wave, who trades and sells mules for John Foun tain of Fountain during the months from Decemberto May. “But Wave can’t say a word,” remarked the “Mrs” “He's got a tractor himself.” Every week we;note evidences that advertising in The Enterprise gets result*. A couple of weeks ago one of our readers inserted a classified ad for part time help. The replies are still coming in. Last week another person advertised for an oki-fsahion ed roller-top desk. iWn another town close by came a reply. “The first time I stepped on the television stage, I was mom frighten ed than I had ever been in the Army," is the comment Jimmy Dar den used to describe the way he felt when he appeared oh radio and .tele vision shows in NcwYork last week. in an attempt to thwart the pattern of baldness which creeps upon mot after they reach 80. Bald-pated gen tlemen may as well give up their ex periments. 200 scientists, meeting fast week in New York, tajked for two days on the subject of baldness, heard 86 papers, and then reached-a conclusion that baldneaa yields to no bom* is not radioactive, as is its cousin, the atom bomb, and the nu clear experts have branded as false the impression that the new bomb may leave large areas contaminated As the postman made his daily rounds, he stopped for a few moments to watch the late Fred Smith at work in his woodworking shop, fhus, the '* postman, now Rural Carrier Archie Cayton, became interested in building furniture and a hobby was bom. roe iitst. article he turned out was a window seat. IS ext he made « cof xee table with inlaid glass top. In 1940, (Jaytons were having a home built at 109 North Waverly street, so Mr. Cayton took measurements in one Comer of the dining room and set to work on a china cupboard. When it came time' to varnish die piece, the Caytons did not know whe ther they would get a walnut or ma hogany table and chairs. Mr. Cayton, who likes to make his own dyes from turpentine, Japan drier and oils, mixed a batch at mahogany and an other of walnut, mixed them and painted the cabinet, which harmonises with any of the' darker woods. Like many beginners his tools were few. Por the cabinet he used a bench saw and for the groove decoration, a com bination planer. As his interest in this hobby grew, the garage was turn ed into the ^ workshop and thei car stayed outdoors. While he was in the army and for a year or so after his return, Mr. Cayton laid aside his hobby. When materials became more, plentiful he undertook one of his largest projects —converting the attic into bedrooms. Two of the rooms have been finished and the third is in the early stages. For daughter Jean’s room he cov ered .the walls with sheet rock and the ceiling with celetex, made a Hollywood bed dressing table and stool, a closet, wastebasket, magaatne holder and built-in shelves and chest of drawers. Son Jan’s room has some of the same features—a built-in chest of drawers and open shelves with a desk space at the top. A night stand, with top shelf for a radio, and a lamp complete the hand-made furnish ings. The stairs, rail and bannisters with decorative panel and a closet in the hall are part of Mr. Gaytan's Han diwork. • All through the house axe articles turned but in the shop. In the living room axe book cases on either aide of the chimney; in the sitting room a personalized wastebasket and a sew ing stand ; in the hall, a telephone nook; in the bedroom, nigfatstaads; one of w&c$ has a built-in-radio; and in the kitchen, cabinets and a table built around the chimney. Poplar is the favorite wo6d for this builder, because it can be stained most any color. All the furniture is uiuuenufuc. * About 1940 Mr. Cayton sad a fellow postal worker, Ed Nash Warren, be came interested in making a mail box »which was large enough to put a hand in and which had a transparent front. Seeking a material for the front, they found two thermo plastics —lucite. and plexiglass advertised. By the time they ordered home, they discovered that the government had frozen plastics. A few yean ago when plastics were again plentiful, Mr. Cayton made a mail box. While recuperating in the hospital during the war, he had mold ed by hand a jewel box."- ' * Much care is required in Working with plastics. They must be heated to a high degree and the molder must be careful hot to scratch them. To hold a wall lamp ait a desk. Mr. Cay ton fashioned a plastic holder and he has also made picture frames. ' One of the first things a visitor to the home notices is the awning over the porch. After getting an estimate from a manufacturer of metal awn ingB which was unusually high, Mr. Cayton decided to make his own awn
