WIDE, WONDERFUL
WORLD
By Franklin T. Meine
Americans must have good ap
petites. They spent mors than 18
billion dollars for "eating out”
last year. There was one restau
rant for every 704 persons in the
United States, and more than 60
million meals served in public
eating places each day.
Ants in ice cubes are about as
scarce as purple cows. If you do
see one, don’t be too alarmed!
Ants are extremely cosmopolitan
insects, equally at home in the
Arctic as well ns ths tropics! re
gions. Ants, liks human beings'
live in cmqpaunities and have a
highly complex social Ufa. Ant
colonies range in population from
two dosan contemporaries to half-
a-million busy workers.
Sausage continues to be one of
the most popular snacks—and
meals—for Americans. In 1954,
sausage production under federal
inspection totaled almost 1% bil
lion pounds—an increase of more
than 48 million pounds over the
previous year. This is about 10
pounds of sausage for every per
son in the U. S.
If you are disturbed about the
rapid growth of your home town,
and the hemmed in feeling that it
may give you, consider the case
of New York City. Its population
in 1790 was 33,000. Today it has
about 8,000,000 residents. It’s the
fastest growing city in the world’s
kistcnr.
Congressman \ Arthur G. Klein,
of the House Commerce and Fin
ance Committee, estimates that of
the $55,000,000 worth of securities
in uranium sold in Colorado, 95
per cent was a complete loss.

PICTURE WINDOW HOUSE
By Allen Wishert
H AROLD and Elsie Hastings had
searched for the past three
weeks diligently Nothing came of

determination - unlimited, * hope
deeply embedded, their minds were
firmly set Those “just as good”
or “you will learn to love this one’’
expressions made no impression;
they knew what they wanted.
Today they were making anoth
er round, covering every . street
in the old home town and were
just edging into the suburbs when
tt loomed before them plainly
as a white elephant against a
black-background.
Like e couple of darts they
catapulted from the car and rushed
op the walk. Just to the left of
the door was a sign; “For Sale.”
Including the name and address
of the real estate agent
This cottage ended the search,
ft was practically new and pos
sessed tbm one, the only Item they
had been seeking: A Picture Win
dow!
Always they had loved the out
doors and this largo window would
brlhg It into their ttviag room.
They hoped tbs down payment
would be reasonable, and the

her nose pressed *g**»»** the

rior.
"Exactly what we've bad in
mind, especially, the picture
dow,** He. too. wee crowding to
look.
That settled tt Both ran to the
car, leaped in and broke the speed
limit on the wa/ to the agent's
office fearing someone would get
ahead of them.
. “You—you have a house for
sale,” Harold shouted upon enter
ing the office. \
"Several Are you a prospect?"
inquired the agent.
"No, air, I’m a buyer <What are
ffie terms?”
Mr. Real Estate Agent, upon
learning feat he wasn’t dealing
with a lunatic, and locating the
house in question, drew up the nec
essary contract. Duly sworn and
signed, the home was their's to-
have and to hold—unless they
missed a couple of monthly pay
ments.
In their anxiety, Harold aaA
Elsie had overlooked checking the
neighborhood.« Would the neigh
bors accept them; would they care
for the neighbors? They were quite
concerned, but shouldn’t have
been. The picture window from the
outside looking in, would afford
the neighbors plenty of enter
tainment.
"HeUo, darling, , I’m home,”
called ' Harold upon entering the
abode after his days labor.
"Be right there,” Elsie coming
from adjoining room, rushed
his arms, their lips met. Break
ing the clinch, both gazed through
the picture window.
Sunday afternoon two baseball
ftams of the younger generation
gathered on the vacant lot oppo
site. If one of those kkfo

The neighbors scrambling for
tawing positions. The bays were
hitting e longer belL Nerves be
came frayed.
Finally, while the teems were
playing, Harold, sat in his front
yard, keeping his eye on the bell,
and when one was hit in his direc
tion and got by the center fielder,
rolling and bouncing fpr the win
dow. Duke Snider never retrieved
a ball quicker than Harold dld T
One day a bulldozer was work
ing, leveling the lot. faarold learned
that a house would be erected,
"Well, Elsie, our worries are
over, they’re building on the lot
across the street."
"I wonder if it will havp a pic
ture window?”
"I surely hope so," sighed Har
old. ‘Our neighbors need a change
of program.”
