North Dakota Now
Exports Lumber
FARGO N. D. fl-.r— Much of
North Dakota is a treeless plain
but the state recently began log-
ging for out ol'-state consumption.
More than a quarter-million
board feet of basswood logs have
N. D., area, said John Zaylskie,
ben exported from the Neche,
North Dakota state extension for-
ester. Smaller amounts have been
logged near Grafton and Finley,

Cornell Tunnel
Is Remodeled
BUFFALO, N. Y., flU!>— The
1,000-mile an-Hour wind tunnel at
Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory—
one of the aviation industry's busi-
est test facilities—has resumed
operation1* following a five-month
$2,225,000 modification program.
Automatic data recording and
computing equipment is an impor-
tant new feature of the tunnel,
which can turn up :12,000 horse-
power. Developed by CAL, the
equipment completely processes
test data minutes after measure-
ments are taken on a model in the
facility. This operation previously
required up to 48 houvs.
The tunnel is capable of testing
aircraft, missiles and propellers at
speeds up to 1.3 times the speed of
sound, and at varying pressures—
from one-sixth to two and one-
half atmospheres. Its new 8 by 8
foot test section employs "perfo-
rated" walls which permit accurate
performance measurement on mo-
dels at transonic speeds.
Th bulk of the nation's oper-
atioe.nl jet fighter planes and many
commercial aircraft, including ail
three of the forthcoming jet trans-
ports to be flown in this country,
have been tested in the CAL tun-
nel.

Juniper Plant Is
Experimented On
FARGO. N. D. m.Tn— Medora
iuniper will be planted in North
Dakota experimentally this year,
said Donald G. Iloag horticultur-
ist at North Dakota State Experi-
ment Station.
Medora juniper is representative
of a distinctive type of Rocky
Mountain juniper native to a small
area near Amidon N. D. The tree
has a distinct blue-green color.
The plant is difficult to root as
cuttings but when grafted on
seedljng rootstocks it yields a slen-
der and. compact tree, he said. It
will stay within bounds without
pruning or trimming and is of
value for foundation plantings.

more than you can say for most
of the lathers. 4

going through a stop sign on his
bike, he admits he did wrong."
Si'.fety : violators receive police
citations which carry no penalty
but ti e youngsters are required to
have their parents sign the cita-
tion and mail it to the Public Safe-
ty Department.
About' half the tickets come back
with notes hailing the program
juvenile safety officer Richard I).
Drainvillo said.
"These tickets tell «« the areas
inwhieh safety instruction is most
needed he addu:!, "The informa-
tion goes out to the parents, the
schools and the department."

Satterwhite Home Keeps
Abreast Of Late Ideas
Satterwhite Funeral Home own-
ed and operated by Hank Satter-
white enjoys the distinction of be-
ing the first Texas to install air
conditioning in ambulances, the
first here to equip ambulances with
oxygen, and. Mr. Satterwhite has
built four lifting devices that have
been copied and put on the mar-
ket.
Hank, as Mr. Satterwhite is bet-
ter known, has been in business
here since 1928. lie said the lift
ing devices are electrically opera-
ted; one to lift a steel vault of a
warehouse; one for lifting bodies
in preparation; ami one for loading
ami unloading caskets. The fourth
device is a hand operated portable
device for lifting caskets.
Other devices in use are two
baby lowering and three adult low-
ering- pieces of equipment.
Air conditioning was described
as a big change in funeral servic-
es in the past decade of the other
great change that of the glassless
sealer. But there have also been
improvements in new and improved
fluids and cosmetics. One great im-
provement in fluids is that made in
seeking to preserve yellow jaundice
cases without having the body turn
green.
Of coursc there have been mark-
ed changes in caskets since the
days of old fiddle shaped coffin.
Enlarging the local home start-
ed in 1941 and each year there has
been added equipment anil facili-
ties. There is a Hammond organ
in use in the music room and a
public address system goes to all
parts of the building. In the show-
room may be found thirty adult
twenty baby caskets.
•These range from the lowest in
price obtainable to the more ex-
Tips By Model
A top, top high fashion model
reveals one secret of her success:
arriving for each "booking" per-
fectly groomed. Not only that, but
she's a firm believer in frequent
shampoos—three times a week, to
be exact.
If a busy model can take pre-
cious time to keep her locks elean
,—and to devote •• full half hou-
to grooming before she leaves
home—you can certainly talce a. <
much time to keep yourself attrac-
tive. Soap and water are the mail
ingredients in any model's beaut;
formula—and what woman doesn'
have them at her fingertips!
pensive, all in ultra modern design.
Mr. Satterwhite came to Hreek-
enridge from Miami. He was at-
tending a convention in Oklahoma
City and heard of the Alexander-
Hill Home going in to receivership.
He and partner, John J. Barber
purchased the home and opened for
business in 19:39, and about a year
later Mr. Barber's interest was
purchased by Satterwhite.
Mr. Satterwhite started work-
ing in a funeral home in El Reno,
Okla., in 1928. lie worked there
until he got out of High School
and then attended the Williams
Institute of Mortuary in Kansas
City graduating in 103fi. He after-
wards worked in Oklahoma City,
Okmulgee ami Miami.
He married Miss Pansy Liles of
Breckenridge and they have chil-
dren two young boys, and a mar-
ried daughter.
Old Line legal reserve funeral
insurance from $150 up to $500 on
people lip to 75 years 'of ag«? can
be had without medical examina-
tion. Other policies up to higher
age limits are in the $150 denomi-
ration only.
The glassless sealer casket was
developed and patented, by Rates-,
ville Casket Company who produce
the Monoseal made of Yoloy steel
which has been copied by other in-
ferior lines. The Batesville i.i
handled only by approved, reputa-
ble funeral homes who meet the
company's requirements.
First Military
Hospital Standing
BOSTON <ir.P>— Still standing
here is America's first official mili-
tary hospital.
It is the so-called Loring Gree-
nough house in Boston Jamaica
Plain district which was built by
a British naval officer in 1759.
By order of the Provincial Con-
gress in June 1775, the house was
made a military hospital. Until the
British evacuation of Boston
March 17, 177<>. Gen. George
Washington was a frequent visitor
at the house.
Today the historic house is one
of several being considered as a
possible official mansion for Mas-
sachusetts' governor.
Agriculture and pottery were
first brought to Michigah by I lie
Indians about the start of the
Christian em,
Bed Sox Popular
Despite central heating and elec-
tric blankets, there are still lots
of cold feet on cold nights. For
people who don't like heavy blank-
et:-, and who can't stand having
bedding tuL-keil in, Grandmother's
remedy is the best—wearing bed
sox.
The up-to-date versions of these
"toe warmers" are made of light-
weight M'ool and wool-nylon or
wool-rayon blends in a stretch knit
designed to conform to and fit any
size feet. These bed sox stay snug-
fitting because they return to their
original size and shape when laund-
ered in warm soap or detergent
suds.
