Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH MODERN HEATING Dirt-Fre- e Home for the Average American Rapidly Approaching The dawn of the dirt-fre- dust-fre- e home for the home owners of the nation, which will relieve the average housewife of endless hours of drudgery. Is rapidly approach-ing. The building industry reports that home builders in all parts of the country are not only installing air purifying devices to remove dust particles, but also are concealing the heating pipes and radiators in walls, ceilings and floors. It's a far cry from the days of the 1870's when first installed a central heating sys-tem and gave up his attempt to heat his home with fireplaces. Today the American home build-er is taking cognizance of old Roman methods and is using hot water to heat his house and is burying the pipes out of sight and sound. The Greeks may have had a word for it, but the Romans were the ones who pioneered heating practice. Their fabulous baths at Pompeii and Caracalla contained steam rooms, "hot rooms", and "cold rooms", all of which pre-cluded a knowledge of the three basic heating means known today hot water, steam and warm air and, of course, a smattering of air conditioning. What is it for which heating ex-perts have been searching all this time since the fall of Rome? To tell the truth, nobody was doing much searching at all in the thousand years immediately after Rome's eclipse. The fireplace served quite well, with all the functions of the home being done in, over or in front of it until the middle of the 18th century when Benjamin Franklin invented his stove. This stove, a very neat invention at the time, was the forerunner of the modern warm air plant. It also was the grand-dadd- y of all dust dispensers and dehumidifiers. It used a large amount of fuel and gave off a minimum amount of heat. DURING THIS TIME, the use of steam as a heating means also was evolved, first in England then in the United States. It's use followed, naturally enough, the development of the boiler and the radiator. Hot water heating had its start in the chicken coop of one M. Bonnemain in the France of 1777. Mr. Bonnemain used a crude hot water loop to spur the incubation of chicks. Hot water, off to such a promising start, did not do well in competition with steam, however, until about 1920. Today's homes are no longer un-certain compromises between heat and dirt, heat and health, and heat and cold. With radiant panels, or with radiators recessed or concealed in walls or baseboards, the full use of the space of the room is avail-able. The air remains cool and sen-sibly moist, whatever the room tem-perature desired. Proof of the economy and per-formance of modern hot water heat-ing is its exclusive use in large de-velopments like Levittown on Long Island, perhaps the largest heating installation in the world. Here, forced hot water systems supply heat to the radiant panel floors, and serve year round by furnishing the domestic hot water for baths, kitchens and laundries from the same boilers that heat the homes. The perfection of radiant heating to the installations in general use today, leaves only one uncertainty what now in heating? Where to go, short of atom heat? Home build-ers will have to wait and see, but whatever it is it will be good. if y .s4 NOT SO FLATTERING . . .

It was the kind of clear-heade- logical reasoning that people in the home towns of the nation could understand. It reaffirmed their faith in the man chosen to fill the most important post in modern history. It is this kind of reasoning and determination that the Communist nations of the world understand. And if the world understands this rea-soning, it could mean another step toward the preservation of peace. K would be difficult to say at this point who was more surprised by the 79 to 5 senate vote that passed the bill to draft opponents or supporters of the measure. v For weeks the debate had raged in the senate over lowering the draft age from the limit. And although the bill must go to the house for action, it appeared that much of the pressure against the administration's defense plans has been relieved. Most observers were inclined to believe the bill will eventually reach the President's desk. li 1i iiirTV' Mtd ii lif inii 'T- - x The senate vote caused c o n s i derable speculation across the nation. In the first place, the man on main street wanted to know is it possible for five sen-ators the number who voted against the measure to bombard the U. S. sen-ate with so much propa-ganda that it completely ties up important legisla-tion for weeks? Second, what happened to the other senators who had ranted and raged against drafting the And third, were the statements by desperately to make peace ponents that the mothers of between labor and the administration, the nation flooded Washing-Eri- c Johnston (center), economic sta- - ton with teiegrams against bilizer, met several times with union the draft entirely true? leaders in Washington.

"average man" who does not understand very clearly the niceties of diplomatic language and ma-neuvers, the foreign ministers' deputies of the United States, France, Britain and Russia, meeting in Paris, had nothing to report. The only statements were "no, no" issued by Russia's Andrei Gro-myk- o to every proposal put forth by the western powers. Gromyko first gained the attention of the home-towne- of the na-tion as the "no" man of the United Nations. The main point of difference between the west and east remained the subject of rearming Germany. KOREAN BATTLE Slowly, methodically United Nations troops advanced in Korea, storming the hills, digging the Communists out of foxholes with bayonets, stopping and breaking a Red attack at other points, but always pushing toward the 38th parallel. U. N. commanders continued to expect a spring offensive by fte Reds, scheduled for some time during the last part of March or April. Meanwhile, the Chinese suffered severe casualties as U. S. troops pushed ahead, estimated by some observers at 20,000 to 30,000 in two weeks. There were reports that the Communists had 200,000 men in the front lines below the parallel. In addition they were reported to have 100,-00- 0 more troops in immediate reserve in North Korea and a great reservoir, perhaps more than 300,000, across the Yalu river in Man-churia. RUSSIAN ARMS According to Russian reports the Supreme Soviet (Parliament) has adopted a 1951 budget of 451 billion rubles, of which 96 billion would go for defense purposes. Russia has placed a value on the ruble of four to the American dollar, but since there are so many imponderables involved, the rate ilc rrnt rpflect the true position of the ruble. If the rate is taken, it would in-dicate a total defense budget of $24 billion. However, Soviet produc-tion, through use of forced labor and purchases from dominated countries at ex-tremely favorable rates, is considerably cheaper than that of the United States.

The bureau said all major commodities advanced except building materials. The new figures wiped out any hope that the stabilization effort had finally started taking effect and a leveling-of- f was about to take place. The figures also brought renewed charges from labor that it would take a law "with teeth in it" to stop the inflation spiral. Michael V. DiSalle, price director, told worried housewives in a television speech that it would be three more months before ceiling prices on food will be posted in stores. It couldn't be done sooner, he reported, because food prices vary by localities. LAST HOPE The supreme court refused by a vote of 6 to 0 to re-view the case of Alger Hiss, convicted of giving government secrets to a Russian spy ring before World War II. It was Hiss' last hope of escap-ing a five year prison sentence. The Hiss trial made headlines in the nation's press for months. A guilty verdict and prison sentence was returned after a second trial. The slender, brilliant attorney has stubbornly denied the charges of giving away government secrets.

Wilkinson DANA BRIDGES is a printer by but every one says he should be a salesman. He has a very competent and confident man-ner. His choice of words is vivid, his gestures im- - I pressive, his de- - Minute livery powerful. 37 Flctl0" Back in 1934 I Dana bought a Northland Spe-cial Six. As every one knows the Northland is one of the most ex-pensive cars on the market. Dana's income is not large, but he is the type of man who likes the best or nothing. "In the long run a Northland is the best buy," he told his wife. "It will outlive three smaller and cheaper cars." Rachael, Dana's wife, knew by that Dana usually knew what he was talking about. So when Dana stated they ought to own a Northland she nodded and smiled and felt confident that every-thing would be all right. She didn't, however, anticipate owning and driving the same car for 16 years. Not that she minded too much. The Northland, as the world knows, is expensive enough so that the manu-facturers don't have to change the design too radically each year. Fun-damentally the 1934 Northland had the same lines that the new 1950 Super Special possessed. Moreover, Dana being a pains-taking type of person, kept the ma-chine in perfect order. Nevertheless, it was an ancient hack and the neighbors used to grin when the Bridges' drove by, and Rachael felt embarrassed and wished that they could have a new car. I ' - ' , ' - U Dana was a painstaking type of - person and kept the machine in perfect order. The paint looked like new. "Why," Dana demanded when she hinted at such an idea. "The old hack's doing all right. No engine trouble. Looks good. Why swap her In?" After the Bridges' had owned their Northland seven years a salesman tried hard to sell Dana a new car. Dana listened to his talk and then asked what he'd offer for the 1934 model. The salesman named a fig-ure so low that Dana got mad and kicked him off the place. And Rachael decided, with a sigh, that now their chance of buying a new automobile was remote indeed. She was right. For 16 years the Bridges' kept their Northland Spe-cial Six, and after awhile the neigh-bors stopped laughing and some of them began to think that maybe Dana was pretty smart. TN THE SPRING of 1950 Dana drove his Northland Special down to the Northland salesroom and told the floorman he wanted to buy a new Super Special Eight, complete with radio, heater, clock and any other gadgets they had. "Have you a car to trade in?" the salesman asked. "Sure," said Dana. "It's a pip, too. A 1934 model." "You mean, of course, a 1944 model," the salesman said politely. "No," said Dana, "I mean 1934." The salesman coughed. "I'm afraid we can't allow you very much on a car as old as that." Dana waved an airy hand. "Take me to the president of this outfit. I can't be bothered with underlings." He glared at the salesman. So a few minutes later Dana was ushered into the president's office. "Commere." he said to the presi- dent, beckoning him to a window "See that shiny, good looking car out there? It's a Northland 1934 model. It's been driven over 200 000 miles. It runs as good as new. Looks as good as new, doesn't it' Now. look, Mr. President, would it or would it not be a good advertise- ment for you if you stuck that car in your show window and put a sign on it, saying it was 16 years old and has gone 200,000 miles and doesn't that prove that a Northland can take the gaff?" The president got his hat and went out and looked at Dana's car He drove it around the block. "What kind of a trade do you want?" he asked Dana. ' "I'll swap you even," said Dana, "for a 1950 Super Special complete with gadgets." The president smiled, then sob- ered, then figured on the back of an envelope, then looked at Dana's car again, then nodded. "It's a deal," he said. And now poor Rachael Is wonder- - 16 years befre he gets a new car. GRASSROOTS Chinese Reds Laughed at MacArfhur Across River By Wright A. Patterson TTOW UTTERLY FUTILE would H be any United Nations armed force in preventing the suppress-ing acts of aggression was amply demonstrated by the Korean deba-cle. It was not any lack of ability on the part of MacArthur that caused that result; it was not any lack of valor on the part of United Nations' armed forces it was the delay and lack of decision on the part of an international debating society. It was a case of "too many cooks spoiling the broth." It could not change its instructions to its field commander without debate. The first instance of the in-ability to decide came when the United Nations forces reach the 38th parallel. MacArthur had in-structions not to go beyond that line. It took better than a week to get those instructions changed. That more than a week of delay gave the North Ko-reans time ,to reorganize their shattered divisions; to get new arms and munitions from the Red Chinese army on the Man-churi-border. It prevented the total distraction of the North Korean army in North Korea. The job had to be done all over again, and before the n border was reached. The next stopping point was the Yalu river. Just north of the Yalu river in Manchuria, a vast army of Red Chi-nese was being assembled. Into its camp was being poured vast numbers of transport vehicles and tanks. Great munition dumps were being erected. There was no slight-est question as to the purpose of it all. The United Nations had an adequate supply of airplanes and bombs. Those planes and bombs could have destroyed the transport vehicles and tanks. They could have blown up the ammunition dumps and scattered the million men the camps contained. But instructions would not permit the firing of so much as a rifle across that river. The planes at his command could neither fly beyond the south bank of the Yalu or drop so much as a fire cracker on the amounts of military supplies. Both the North Koreans and the Red Chinese could stand on the north bank of that dividing stream and thumb their noses at the impatient United Nations troops on the south bank. Nothing could be done about that situation unless and until MacAr-thur received new instructions. He waited, as he was ordered to do, while the discussion went on and on, and then came the attack. That Red army, with its transport vehicles, its tanks, its munitions crossed the Yalu, the debating so-ciety had talked too long, and the United Nations' forces in Korea paid the penalty for that delay. What happened In Korea would be the inevitable result in any case where the activi-ties of a United Nations force came under the orders and di-rections of an international de bating society, representing 53 nations, all of which Insist on being heard. It creates an im-possible condition for a field commander, just as it did for MacArthur. It is a safe bet that he would not again undertake such a job as was assigned to him by President Tru-man. When the time and conditions were urgent both the President and Secretary Acheson failed to urge speed in arriving at a United Na-tions decision. It savored of more consideration for the Chinese Reds, of which we have had entirely too much in the past. There should be no place for any who had a part in such actions in the American government. It has cost the lives of many thou-sands of Americans fighting under the flag and the instructions of the United Nations. In future we should have no part in any armed activities that operate under the orders and direction of the members of an international debating society. Such bosses do not keep pace with military necessities. The leaders of organized labor, like leaders of other segments of the American people, proved them-selves selfish in their demands for those they lead, and the general public turned on them, as .t turned on capital when it ignored the in- terests of the people. The people will turn on the farmers if they ignore the general welfare, and keep on pushing prices of food up. COST OF LIBERTY 1,000,000th Man to Die for Country The cost of liberty is high for this Republic. As mothers and fathers through-out the nation ponder over the world's ills and worry about their sons in service, or soon to join the armed forces, somewhere in the mud and filth of Ilorea the 1,000,-000t- h soldier to die for this nation may already be a casualty. Adding in the Korea casualties, 995,100 men have died in defense of this Republic. This total, however, is not up to date since reporting of Korean casualties is two to four weeks behind. The latest Korean total stood at 52,448. Of these, 8,853 were dead of all causes and 9,899 missing. The remainder were wounded. This amounted to 300 weekly since the war started last June. |
