loned housewifs 1 learned to cook
and sew well enough to feed a
family of four without any evi
dence of malnutrition or indict
tions of coming-out-at-th-teami
I learned to wash the family
clothes so that we all looked neat
and clean and Tom never had to
go to the office with a dirty shirt
Actually I
only knew how
to wash the
"old-fashioned”
fabrics such as JV
woolen cotton
linen flannel
silk— even nylon
and rayon Then
almost over
night it seems 1 found myself
surrounded by a whole new vo-
cabulary of wonder fabrics— Da-
cron Orion Acrilan Dynel just
to mention a few And the neu(
fabrics seemed to offer so many
marvelous advantages that with ’
each new garment I was eager to
see what science had done for us
now
As we acquired more clothing
made of these new fabrics I began
to acquire a library of washing
instruction books that failed to
interest me and an index system
for finding the books that was in-
fallible It never worked
Just as I was about to admit
defeat and was ready to insist
that we buy only the materials
that I knew how to wash a near
miracle happened I received a
brand new booklet called "Modem
Fabrics and How to Launder
Them" Here in a few pages were
washing drying and ironing in-
structions for all the new fabrics
and the best laundering recom-
mendations I have ever heard for
"old-fashioned” fabrics
It’s too good to keep to myself
and besides it’s free Just drop a
card to Whirlpool Corporation
Dept C St Joseph Michigan and
ask for a copy of “Modem Fabrics
and How to Launder Them" In a
few days your new fabric prob-
lems will be over I know

it would be beneficial to return
any cropland west of the 20-inch
rainfall line to grass for at lei
six years)
2 Where feasible practice a
flexible wheat-sorghum-fallow ro-
tation 3 Use cover crops and stubble
mulch farming to help prevent
wind and water erosion
4 Put all land not suitable for
cultivation into range or pasture-
In humid areas Merrill pointed
out crop rotations may be length-
ened to include more grasses and
legumes for livestock feed
By all means the SCS regional
director said the capabilities of
the land should be used in decid
ing which acres should remain
wheat production Land capabil
ity guides have been worked out
for all wheat farming areas of the
region and are in the hands of
soil conservation district boards
Switching a part of the wheat
farmer’s acreage to another crop
such as grain sorghum which
more suited to some soils of the
areas may actually mean greater
net return to the farm Merrill ex-
plained In addition many thous
ands of acres of wheat lands year
after year are producing scarcely
enough to- pay for harvesting
Many more thousands of acres
are being farmed at a loss These
acreages could very likely pro-
duce profitably in grass
Above all Merrill cautioned
steps should be taken to keep
lands taken out of wheat from
undergoing erosion damage If
stubble is sufficient it should be
carefully managed he said If
the stubble has been destroyed ef-
fort should be made to get a win-
ter growing crop other than
wheat on the land or if time per-
mits a crop of grain sorghum-
even planted in August grain sor-
ghum normally can make suffi-
cient growth to keep the land
from blowing Sandier lands of
the wheat growing areas would be
better off if they were farmed us-
ually to grain sorghums he said
Emergency tillage to prevent
wind erosion damage is just that
— an emergency step to be taken
as a last resort Merrill explained
Conservation measures are de-
signed to avoid the need for this
costly and labor-consuming prac-
tice he said
Enrollment at Oklahoma AAM
Tech la the second largest opening
enrollment of new students since
the founding of the school in 1946
Approximately 900 students will
enroll for the fall semester ex-
eroding by 100 students the num
ber estimated by authorities This
is over 12 per cent more students
than expected And enrollment
will be open until the end of Sep-
tember More than 47S new atu-
dents will enter Tech this semes-
ter The Increased enrollment has
brought more non-veterans Into
the trade school than at any oth-
er time
Additional teachers have been
hired and extra help has been re-
quired in the school resturant
cafeteria and laundry Positions
are still open for a radio and draft-
ing instructor
Campus housing facilities are al-i
most completely filled It became!
necessary to make a plea to towns-
people for extra rooms and apart
ments for married students
Radio and television leads the
trade departments with 163 stu-
dents enrolled Diesel mechanics
ranks second with 118 These two
department showed the greatest
jump in enrollment but the num
bers were increased in almost
every department
While late comers are still enroll-
ing plans are being made for a
school wide party to orient the
new students and to help them be-
come acquainted ' with the old
students

GEOLOGICAL PHENOMENA
NO OF ARDMORE The limestone
n&T
rocks exposed in the south part of the Axbuckle
Mountains along U S Highway 77 consist of
stratified beds that were originally deposited as
flat-lying layers on ancient sea bottoms Fossils
found in these limestone beds indicate that this
formation it approximately 430 million years old
About 230 million years ago -a period marked by
the- first extensive deposits of coat in the world
these limestone beds were involved in a mountain
making process and through a series of earthquakes
and general erosion the highest parts of the moun
tains were exposed at the earth’s surface Along
the highway roadside signs are placed describing
the geological history as related to specific ages of
rock formations Geologists and students eome from
all over the world to study these rock formations
here as the exposed rock is invaluable in the study
of sub-strata deposits a veritable geological text
book as well as one of the state’s most scenic vaca-
tion spots Through the Arbuckle Mountains the
rock is up-ended so that every geological formation
in the state is visible at the surface See the Geo-

A 10-year record of “building new ” on the Santa Fe
Christened with California champagne
Santa Fe’s first multiple-unit diesel loco-
motive rolled out of Chicago on Tuesday
May 12 1936
From 1943 through 1952 a total of
1261 diesel units were placeid in service
Better than one every 3 days for a 10-year
record!
It powered the first Super Chief
39 hours later it rolled into Los An-
geles — and the new age in railroading
was bom
There were 3600 "horses” in that one
Five years later the first multiple-unit
freight diesel rolled on Santa Fe rails
There were 5400 "horses” in that one
And still they come! 222 in 1953!
Every diesel added every mile of
heavier rail makes America’s New Rail-
road a little more completely new Why
enough new nail has been laid on the
Santa Fe in the last seven years alone to
reach from Chicago to Los Angeles I
Today there is more than 2100000
diesel horsepower on the Santa Fe — 1524
mighty diesel units
All new — but always the old pride that
all this building new costs you the tax-
payer not one tax penny
