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.

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.

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

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.

Land Of Wheat, Salt
Places to
Hutchinson, Kansas, is wheat country . . . the gateway to the Great
Plains, that semi-arid, short-grass prairie region once roamed by
buffalo and nomadic Indian tribes that is today the greatest hard red
winter wheat producing area in the world.
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.

Snapshots: Water - A Powerful Friend

vs;
Water—long both friend and enemy of mankind. 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
