materials, including oils, inks, show-
card colors, but the cheapest and
possibly the best is cornstarch pud-
ding. This cornstarch mixture may
lack flavor, but compensates for its
tastelessness by its wide range of
possible vegetable coloring. In the
hands of the young and experi-
mental it is not only harmless but
nourishing.
~ The paint, applied to a damp
paper by the spoonful, is thick en-
~ ough to spread in swirls with the
thumb, the fingers, the heel of the
hand, the edge of the little finger,
and even the fore-arm. Accents
and fine lines are achieved by the
use of the finger-nail. Mr. Kinter
suggests that even the toes may
be used as tools, and that unknown
varieties of tropical fish may be
created and preserved for posterity
by employment of the ten little
pink piggies. It isn’t cricket to use
~ a brush or any other artistic im-
plement to get a desired effect,
though some finger-painting de-
votees do occasionally break this
rule and use a cloth to help spread
an even background. :
, The accepted costume for finger-
painting is a bathing suit with a
quick dip in the pool to follow the
completion of the picture.
Finger-painting lends itself to re-
verse curves, broad and magnificent
sweeps, nonchromatic designs of
exceptional strength and beauty. It
is done with great rapidity and free-
dom of movement, the time for a
‘completed picture measured in sec-
onds or minutes instead of hours
and days. Apparently, though you
may start with some vague idea
of what you are going to do, you'll
be advised not to name the picture
until it is completed, for it is diffi-
cult to tell in advance whether your
masterpiece will suggest an Aurora
~ Borealis or a tropical forest featur-
ing orchids and giant ferns.
Missing Student Takes
Job With Ohio Company
Robert Darrow, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Cyril E. Darrow, Shavertown,
who was reported missing shortly
after he was to have returned to
his classes at Dickinson College
following the holidays, has written
his family that he is now employed
with a steel firm in Lorraine, Ohio.
“Bob”, who is eighteen, graduated
from Kingston Township High
School last spring and won a
“ scholarship to Dickinson where he
planned to study for the ministry.
Surrounded by new friends and
teachings he found it difficult to ad-
just himself and has decided to
~ work a year before resuming his
studies. He has always been inter-
~ ested in chemistry.

R TRACTOR
Budget: Dad, $3.00 for motor — Son, 90c for materials.
Dear Dad:
This is a far more ambitious
project than has been presented
so far in the Father and Son se-
ries. Everything is built about the
chassis. This member is a piece of
1" x 2” balsa, 6%4” long, slotted
as shown in the assembly drawing
(Fig. 3), to accommodate motor
and gear box. Both these units are
taken from self-winding clocks
and in this case were drawn from
war surplus stock.
Motor and gear box are con-
nected with a short length of
either rubber or plastic tubing.
Pressed over the respective shafts
this affords a flexible joint and
makes exact alignment less im-
portant than a rigid connection
involves. Perfect alignment in the
gear train to the rear axle and
also perfect alignment of front
and rear axles is, however, a must.
If the drive gear train is not just
right the gears ‘will either slip or
lock. If axles are not lined up the
tracks will tend to climb off the
flanges.
One Eveready flashlight battery
is specified but, in this case, I sug-
gest the possibility of substituting
two Eveready penlight 1% volt
cells for added power.
Best procedure in building this
model is to make a full size draw-
ing from the side view shown in
Fig. 1. Then you have full size
patterns for the axle hangers and
so forth. Do not under any cir-
cumstances fix the motor and gear
box permanently until an easy
non-jumping, non-locking gear
drive has been established.
Idler gear and drive pinion can
be taken from old clocks but care
must be taken here to ensure that
gears selected mesh properly with
the gear box pinion which comes
be meshed as closely as possible
without locking.
Wheels are made as shown in
Fig. 2. As mentioned earlier,
smaller wheels are desirable if
smaller lids are available. If sol-
dering facilities are available by
all means solder the flanges to-
gether and to the shaft after first
establishing dead center for the
axles. If you do not have solder-
ing means try the trick shown in
the drawing, Fig. 2. Once the
wheels are in place and the gear
train is working smoothly fix mo-
tor and gear box firmly in place
with plenty of cement and let it
dry thoroughly before touching.
Bodywork details are thoroughly
explained in the drawings and
will be found quite easy to build.
I used ¥% inch balsa largely be-
cause it only took a single ten-
cent piece to make most of the
body parts. Cardboard, scraps and
odds and ends can be used to com-
plete this hard-pulling little trac-
tor.
Tracks can be made from almost
anything. Most dime stores carry
bundles of rubber bands which
sell for five cents a bundle and
these are ideal for the purpose. Or
pieces of inner tube may be em-
ployed. Garter elastic is also all
right but if used will have to have
lugs stitched to it at about every
34 inch.
So, one last word, remember
that whatever tracks you use,
none of them will stay in place if
the wheels are out of line so set
up wheels and drive gear in good
alignment before playing with the
much easier body construction.
’ Sincerely,
Doug Rolfe
To Make Study
Of Alcoholism
Public Facilities For
Treatment Inadequate
By Pennsylvania News Service
A study of alcoholism with a view
towards the drafting of remedial
legislation has been undertaken by
a Legislative committee of the joint
Sen. Weldon B. Heyburn, Dela-
ware County, chairman of the Com-
mission, in discussing the committee
work said:
“The health of the people of
Pennsylvania is of primary concern
to the Commonwealth. It is well
known that alcoholism affects a con-
siderable number of citizens.
“There is evidence that the
scientific treatment of chronic alco-
holics has resulted in their rehabili-
tation and there is evidence that
present public and private facilities
for the treatment of persons so af-
flicted is inadequate in this Com-
monwealth.”
The Legislature recognized this
fact in adopting a joint resolution
during its session ‘earlier this year,
directing the Commission to under-
take a comprehensive study of the
subject.
This study will be a complete in-
vestigation of the problems relating
to the physiological, psychological,
psychiatric, economic and social ef-
fects of alcoholism and the treat-
ment and rehabilitation, of persons
so addicted.
The committee has directed the
Commission staff to assemble com-
plete statistical information on the
problem generally, not alone in
Pennsylvania but throughout the
United States, and also directed that
all laws pertaining to alcoholism of
other States and the Federal Gov-
ernment be studied, pointing out
that it views alcoholism as a dis-
ease and a person who has be-
come addicted to its use, an ill per-
son.

State Is Losing
Valuable Top Soil
Contour Farming
May Prevent Loss
By Pennsylvania News Service
Pennsylvania's precious topsoil is
gradually disappearing, and while
the process is not an overnight ac-
tivity, a few more centuries at the
present rate of loss will find many
farmers of the Keystone State
growing little but unhealthy weeds.
The problem has agricultural ex-
perts losing sleep both in the State
Department of Agriculture and the
Agricultural School at the Pennsyl-
vania State College.
Reason for the topsoil loss is due
for the most part, to water erosion,
which each year carries thousands
of tons of rich topsoil from the
hills of Pennsylvania into streams
and lower sections.
Much of this topsoil loss could
be prevented by use of tested and
approved soil conservation methods,
which until a few years ago, very
few farmers knew anything about.
The picture is beginning to
change, according to the State De-
partment of Agriculture hopefully.
A voluntary soil conservation pro-
gram in Pennsylvania has been
instituted whereby counties can
join the program if certain require-
ments are met.
Farmers are taught contour farm-
ing—how to cultivate slopes without
having the slopes literally washed
out from under them by heavy
rains. Agents go into the field to
make checks and keep constant tab
on progress.
The State Planning Board in
calling attention to the need for
soil conservation asserted that:
“The balance of nature has been
destroyed, and the very source of
our life is being dispelled needlessly
of its richest gifts for men.”
