* PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1961 ACROSS IDEAS FROM OTHER EDITORS From the Lincoln Times, Lin coln ton, N. C.: A citizen wrote his Congressman some years back that he had lost his wife and needed help in finding another. He was a hard-working Wiscon sin farmer and he needed help raising his son. The Congressman gave the letter to the newsmen in Wash ington and stories were run in newspapers all over the country. To date the farmer is still not married. But he has received over 8,000 proposals from wom en who would be interested, pos sibly. Arthur Bimstengel, 58, has filed all the letters. He answered more than a thousand. But he is still looking, after fifteen years. Some are too young, some too old, some drink, some do this and that—he recently confessed. The “just right” woman has not yet appeared Maybe Arthur’s trouble is that he can’t see the trees for the forest. Certainly one cannot con sider 8,000 women very carefully —even in fifteen years. Or maybe its psychological. In any event, we sympathize with the man and his problem. It has probably been enough to keep him busy over the past fifteen years, making up for the absence of a wife. By this time his son must be getting along. Maybe he should marry one of the prospects, and show his dad how, if he has not already moved in this direc tion. The moral of this story is the American wives, with all their modem conveniences and equal treatment and rights, have a good thing going for them. If they are fortunate enough to find a reliable breadwinner, anc gentle man, they are the most fortunate women in the world—and they ob viously know as much as is indi cated by the 8,000 letters to Ar thur Birnstengel, who might con sider opening a matrimonial bureau on the side. this week's, patterns ^ •YAUttCTlAM ~j All-occasion Dress WORLD OUTDOORS \ For boys of all ages, there is excitement in the thought of ships and men who sail the briny deep. A lad too "oung to think of space ships and moon shots needs only a puddle of water and a piece of wood to launch his own ship of adventure. His elder, who has seen countless changes in the world about him, is content to sit by the waterway, watching the ships go by, now and then allowing one of them to carry his thoughts and dreams to some distant port known well in years gone by. The photo above is of the 100-year-old “Soo” Locks at Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. More tonnage passes through these locks annually than through the Suez, Panama and Kiev combined . . . much of it under the watchful eye of landlubbers, young and old. 1004 Dress Pattern No. 3163—All-Occasion Dress—This basic sheath features the new dropped shoulder line, and a perfect backdrop for important necklaces.

FTOW important is the world outdoors? We do not mean “outdoors” as opposed to “in doors”; we refer to that part of the world outdoors which re mains “unspoiled”—virgin coun try, timberland and marsh, wa- • ***4 * terway and swamp—our nation al forests. Well, according to preliminary estimates, close to 90 million visits will have been made to national forests during 1960. Ac cording to the Wildlife Manage ment Institute, this represents a 10 per cent increase over visits to the forests by recreationists in the previous year. Will we al ways have “room” to play as well as to work and live? Certainly, our population is continually expanding, and with this growth comas the need for more housing units and more living room. The giant cities reach higher and higher into the sky with construction of steel and concrete; but around them, across the low level of the land suburbia springs up here and there in an ever-widening circle. How big is our land? Is it wide enough, deep enough to allow us to continue to provide shelter for our growing population, to build the houses that must be built, to find space for new industries, to have enough land to meet our agricultural needs? It is easy to say that this is not an “immediate” problem. Anyone can see that there are plenty of “open spaces” and in some sec tions of the country, they’re “wide open spaces.” It is easy to say—but it is not true. This is an immediate problem and it re quires immediate attention. If our nation prospers, as it should; and population growth continues, as it shall; we must provide more living and working room. Yet, at the same time, we must protect and conserve natur al resources. Federal Savings and Loan Certificates...

The Great Plains winter wheat area extends westward to the Rocky Mountains and the Texas Panhandle on the south, and western Nebraska and Wyoming on the north. Western Kansas is the “heart’’ of this area. Ideally suited to bread wheat production, the deep, fertile soil retains abundant minerals, add ing to the nutritive value of the product. Great concrete grain elevators, such as the one shown above, often referred to as “Prairie Castles,” are a distinctive scenic feature of the landscape. Wheat is handled in Kansas primarily as a food grain. The crop is harvested during the hot summer days of June and July and taken directly to the great concrete elevators by trucks. Smaller “country” elevators dot the countryside and when these are filled, grain is transported to the larger “terminal” elevators. Hutchinson, Kansas is also as sociated with another product found in the kitchen of every American home—salt. In Kansas, during prehistoric times called the Permian Age, thq salt waters of an inland sea dried up. As centuries went by, layers of earth covered the bed of the dried up sea, and the bedded area of salt was pressed into solid rock salt from the pressure of more and more earth moving in. Thou sands of years passed before en gineers searching for oil discov ered the great natural storehouse of salt at Hutchinson. Today, mines operating several hundred feet below the surface of the earth take salt from a deposit estimated to be 100 miles by 40 miles in area and about 325 feet thick. Congratulations To ...

Without water, man would perish. Man needs water, to drink, to furnish power, to grow food. Under control, water is a mighty servant. Sometimes, in flood, water becomes a devastating force that destroys everything in its path. For the most part, man has learned to effectively control water and to put it to beneficial uses. Across this great nation pow erful dams hold back the mighty flow of rivers to provide power and prevent floods. Above, water released from The Dalles dam churns up the Columbia River as power is produced for the growing Pacific Northwest region. The dam, finished in 1957, is one- of the three larg est power producing plants in the nation. It is 'Jtuated east of The OUR INSURANCE CLAIM SERVICE Always ^Measures Up”!
