Page 6 THE BENDIXLINE, SEPTEMBER 7, 1951 Dept 522 Bendixites Honor September Bride [[image]] Virginia Ferrel was honored by her co-workers in Dept. 522 at a huge dinner party Tuesday evening, August 28. The occasion was to celebrate the coming marriage of Miss Ferrell who was married to Julias Rudasics on September 1. The ceremony took place in Christ the King Church. The above scene was the dinner party held at Alby's Steak House and the former Miss Ferrell is shown seated sixth from the left. STILL "BEST SELLER" It was just 500 years ago this year that Joann Gutenberg started work on the first complete edition of the Bible to be printed from movable type. The job took him 5 years. It was the "Best Seller" in the 15th Century, just as it is in the 20th, even though it "competes" with approximately 7,500 new books every year in America. WHY "NO SMOKING" [[image]] "No Smoking" signs are posted for a reason. Smoking and marches is one of the principal sources of fire. These rules are not made to order you around ; they are made to protect your job by helping to safeguard your place of work from fir and possible destructive AMERICAN MUTUAL LIAB. INS. CO. Corn on the Cob Phinneus Feely, the far-sighted philosopher, says: You can always tell a city boy from a country boy by watching the two of them eat corn on the cob. The city boy will take one ear of corn, eat it, and exclaim, "Boy, that's the best corn I ever tasted!" and lay the cob on his plate. The country boy will do just the opposite. He will turn up his nose and say, "This is the lousiest corn I ever ate"... but when he gets through there will be about a dozen cobs on his plate as evidence of his distaste. 'NO FOOLIN' - HORSE PLAY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY [[image]] LESSON IN LIVING Man's most challenging problem in life is learning to live with himself. Most people who can't get along with themselves can't get along with others. Each man is his own critic - whether he admits it to not. Self-analysis and constructive self criticism are stepping stones to a fuller, better and more harmonious life. Many people can't bear to face facts about themselves - they refuse to live with themselves and take out their discontent and unrest on others. Or they seek to ignore themselves and concentrate on "improving" others. There is much in life that is worthwhile. When a man learns to live with himself, he learns to seek truth and face truth when he finds it. He has opened his eyes and can look around him, seeking and enjoying that which is worthwhile. - JLF.

HELPFUL HOUSEHOLD HINTS Powdered milk can be mixed easily by sprinkling the powder on slightly warm water and beating vigorously with a rotary beater. A paper towel rack in the bathroom saves on face towels. Be sure to have a large receptacle for the used ones. To remove fruit juice stains from cotton or linen place spot over a bowl and pour boiling water through. It may be a slow process if the stain is bad, but if enough time is spent the spot almost always disappears. Egg yolk can be used in many ways; for cakes, pies, puddings, or for anything where the whites are not specifically required. To remove blood stain, as soon as possible dampen spots with cold water and sponge with a solution or 1/2 cup salt in a quart of Luke-warm water. Never use hot water as that will set the stain. If your recipe calls for cheese in a cooked dish, be sure to use a sharp cheese as milder cheeses lose their flavor when blended with other foods or exposed to heat. Soften hard water for laundry by squeezing the juice from a lemon into a tubful of water. Save the spout type tops from salt boxes and fasten with scotch tape to jars. Use for pouring crumbs, nut meats, flour, etc. THE THREE R's OF CITIZENSHIP The best way to teach our young people the meaning of our democratic freedoms is to demonstrate by our own example that we have mastered the three R's of citizenship: Rights; Respect and Responsibilities. --Earl James Me-Grath, U. S. Commissioner of Education. IDEA PLUS . . . EQUALS SUCCESS An idea, plus ingenuity, plus customers, are the ingredients that make for success in America. Willard E. Crotty is an example. Mr. Crotty decided there was a market for engine gaskets. He sold his car to acquire necessary funds and he and his wife worked side-by-side in the empty garage. Today, with contracts for 46 items for Oldsmobiles, and 25 parts for Chevrolets, the Crotty Corporation is keeping 125 other companies in business with orders for supplies. ''My wife ran away with another man, in my new car.'' ''Not your NEW car?'' The boys in the back room were gathered at the grave of a yellow gambler. ''Spike,'' droned the preacher, ''is not dead. He is sleeping.'' Came the inevitable voice from the rear: ''I've got a C-note that says he's dead!'' --AND WHAT NEXT? According to the Kermlin, Russia, and not necessity, was the mother of all inventions. And the latest invention claimed for Russia is certainly the tallest tale of them all, for the Vladivostok newspaper now claims that a Russian logger, Paulski Bunyanovitch, was the inspiration for our strietly American stories about the legendary North Woods giant, Paul Bunyan! This year Paris, France, is 2,000 years old and Detroit is celebrating its 250th anniversary. What a whale of difference a couple of thousand centuries make when you measure the progress of the two cities! In America, many positions as company president have been filled through ''Boy Wanted'' advertisements. SPEAKING OF JOBS . . . We all know that there wouldn't be any jobs in factories if there were no tools and machines to work with. We know that tools and equipment cost money -- but do we realize how much? At the United States Steel Corporation's new plant at Morrisville, Pa., it is taking an investment of $90,000 per worker to provide the plant and equipment which production workers will use -- and there will be 4,000 such workers. . . . Is it any wonder, then, that industry must have profits to plow back into business? Bride Honored at Dinner [Image] Patricia Piechorowski, whose marriage to Ed Dudzinski took place September 3, was honored at a dinner party given by her co-workers of Service Sales, Dept.521, on august 21, in the Mayfair Dining Room, Mishawaka. Those seated are Cornelia Walker, Miss Piechorowski, Margery Gates and Gertude chelminiak; standing are Irene Pinter, Ethel Patchen, Gazella Molnar, Frances Tisch, and Eva Heck. In addition to a lovely gift received from the department, an added feature was a surprise pantry Shower. The guest-of-honor was presented with numerous items of canned goods, all UNLABLED. It has been rumored that one of the cans contains dog food. Wonder who that poor dog will be!

OLD SOCIALIST TAKE THE STAND "The American economic system has been able to provide the highest standard of living in the world and to open far more doors of opportunity to the ambitious, enterprising and fortunate than any other nation." You might expect such a statement from a vast majority of Americans. But when a man named Norman Thomas makes such a statement it is news! And Norman Thomas did make it, in his latest book entitled "A Socialist's Faith." Norman Thomas has been the socialist candidate for president of the United States for the past 20 years. In books, lectures and statement he preached the need of "social ownership" which means state ownership. Mr. Thomas now, in his new book, warns of "the extraordinary danger of statism today." A lady on the bus took the only empty seat - next to a slightly tipsy, but otherwise harmless looking gent. Soon she opened a map of Korea. The drunk studied the map, too, for a time, and finally addressed the lady in an interested tone: "Are you shure you're on the right bus, lady?" he asked. Pickles-The Big Economy Size [[image]] [[image]] More Bendixites bring in their produce to prove they were not just bragging about the size of things grown in their gardens. On the left Donald Kuber, Dept. 72, has a cucumber 13 1/4 inches long while on the right Frank Jankowski, Dept. 22, displays a 14" specimen from his garden. OUR FUTURE September is back-to-school month for millions of American youngsters - and it brings back school memories to many of the rest of us. Our school years passed quickly but their impact will not be forgotten. These youngsters will some day face the problems we are grappling with now. And there's no more fitting time than NOW to realize that education is really our only hope for a safer and saner world in the future. This old world has raced ahead in production, travel, communication, and most material things -- but it can't quite keep up when it comes to cultural values and learning to utilize this new "civilization." Education is the one means that offers any hope of future improvement. To combat confusion and indifference with facts, truth, value, thinking and tolerance is a staggering task and a challenge must be met, for these young people trooping off to school represent our living future. "What did your audience do when you told them you had never paid a dollar for a vote?" "A few of 'em cheered, but most of 'em got up and left." Here 18 Years; Millionaire! The "Welfare Staters" and their followers are sometimes heard to say that the reason we have "cradle-to-grave security" is because opportunity to advance no longer exists -- "no more frontiers to conquer. The success stories of the Edisons, the Bells, the Fords, they brush them off as "old hat," and scoff that "those days are gone forever." But -- You only have to look in any direction to prove the apostles of doom are dead wrong, and one person who certainly can furnish proof that this is still the land of the greatest opportunities in the world is 43-year-old Finn Haakon Magnus. Mr. Magnus arrive in the United States with $11.26, which he parlayed into a multi-million dollar business, because he couldn't buy a harmonica during World War II. Until the war, this country used to import millions and millions of harmonicas from Germany and Japan where cheap labor was used to make the 80 parts of a mouth organ by hand, and turn out a product which could not be made in America for three times the cost. Mr. Magnus had an idea that the job could be done in plastics in one stamping operation, and in a little more than three years of work in his own cellar he proved he was right. But he was flat broke, and it takes money, as we all know, to put a product on the market. He let toy jobbers know about his new plastic mouth organ and almost overnight he had a quarter of a million dollars worth of advance orders, and started production in a rented basement. To date he has produced more than 25,000,000 harmonicas and sold them for $10,000,000, and has added 34 other plastic musical toys to his output. Obviously, Finn Haakon Magnus who has only been in this country 18 years in all, can't understand why anyone lucky enough to be born in America should want to exchange free enterprise for socialistic security. The collector for charity approached the well-dressed young man in the shiny convertible. "Pardon me, sir," she asked, "but would you like to help the Poor Girls' Home?" "And how!" he answered eagerly. "Where are they now" -- Watchman-Examiner Hosiery will last longer if you wash them in clear, tepid water just as soon as you take them off. A toothbrush is just the thing for cleaning rings, and there is no better cleanser to use on them than toothpaste. Bubbles to Guard America [[image]] The balloon-like object at the left is a radome used for protecting valuable radar equipment from the elements. Inside the "Arctic Bubble" as the radome is called is a rotating radar antenna similar to the one pictured at the right. The bubble which is supported by internal air-pressure is transparent to the microwave radar signals transmitted and received by the radar antenna although it is opaque to light. With radar man can scan the skies to detect aircraft many miles away. Radar permits man to see through fog, smoke and darkness. This photograph was taken at the radar test site of Bendix Radio Division of Bendix Aviation Corporation near Baltimore, Maryland. Bendix Radio is a leading builder of radar for the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy.
