THE CLOTHMAKER THE NEAR PERFECT MAN He brushed his teeth twice a day with a nationally advertised tooth brush and a miraculous tooth paste that killed germs, kept his teeth white, and gave him an irresistible smile. The doctor examined him twice a year. He wore rubbers whenever it looked like rain. He slept with the windows open. Hp stlipk trt n Hip< r?f nlont? of fresh vegetables. He never smoked, drank or lost his temper. He got at least eight hours of sleep every night. The funeral will be held next Wednesday. He is survived bv 18 specialists, four health institutes, six gymnasiums, and numerous manufacturers of health foods and antiseptics. He had forgotten to work safely on the job. "Lot's Give It Hack to the Italians'' If you haven't said it yourself, chances are you have heard others say of our homeland?"Let's give it back to the Indians!" It's a standard jokc ana 11 pops out wnen tne problems and complexities of modern living seem to pile up on us. But just suppose for a moment that we really meant it. What would we be letting ourselves in for? Well, broadly, it would mean the biggest backward steD in the whole historv of the human race. During all of the centuries before the white man arrived in America, the coal and minerals had been in the ground, the soil had been just as fertile, the source of fibers and building materials had been just as available. But the total population never got higher than one and one - half million Indians. They lived in hovels, shivered in the cold and went hungry. The Indians just weren't doing it right. They were "loners"?every man for himself. A HOW YOU \ M < I Learn these life-sa\ w ? II See your doctor irr signals in yourself.

Since then I have had a burning desire to finish my high school education. The Adult Education Courses have been a big help to me. especially my textile course.

A lot of things come only by experience. but throueh this program I feel that I have learned much concerning the different stages of production.
