Any way you look at it, the
bulky workbenches of yesteryear
have given way to a more com

two feet wide, for example, and
some aren’t over three feet long.
Lots of good home workshop
projects can be carried out just
as successfully on a small work

over a kitchen table when needed,
is made by framing a panel of

Woven Folding Screen
\JANY uses exist in the home
Afor a folding screen. This
useful device may be made in the
home workshop. An unusual de

make, is illustrated.
The woven strips are Masonite
Presdwood or Duolux, a hard
board that’s smooth on both sides.
Pliable yet strong, either materia)
is interlaced between wooden
dowels to achieve the pleasing
effect shown.
Top and bottom pieces of each
panel are grooved to receive the
hardboard strips.
Full details of construction are
given in a free plan which also
explains how an opening may be
left in one of the panels to fit
the picture tube area of a televi
sion set. Other uses for a screen
with an aperature will occur to
all. For example, the screen
could be used to shut off a room
with a sleeping baby. Without
moving the screen, the mother
could peak through the curtained
opening to check up on the child.
Youngsters could use the screen
for “playing store."

I Winter Eggs Can Yield Profits
i’here are special problems that beset the poultryman in mid
winter. But this is just when good management can turn prob
able losses into sure profits.
Hens need water nearly as
much in the winter as in the sum
mer. To keep water from freez
ing, an electric water system
using heating tape is a good in
vestment. Regardless of the type
used, the waterer should be high
enough from the floor to prevent
contamination.
Poorly ventilated hen houses
create a stuffy, unhealthy atmos
phere. Exhaust fans and air in
takes will solve the problem-but
keep direct drafts off the floor
i and birds.
Most common management
fault during winter months is
overcrowding. A recent study of
space requirements for laying
flocks, approved by poultry hus
bandry departments of all 48
land grant colleges, recommends
S to 4 feet of floor space per bird,
including roosting pit; also 6 to 7
inches per bird of roost space
(heavy birds may require more). _
Four linear inches of feeder
space and one individual box-nest
per five birds were suggested as
a minimum.
A profit-wise poultryman will
allow as much room as possible to
prevent feather picking and can
nibalism.
Maximum egg profit in winter
depends also on the bfrds getting
plenty of light. Ample window
space is a good start. Electric
lights controlled with a time clock
will help.
Poor sanitation is a widespread
[ failing among poultrymen. The
I U.S. Department of Agriculture
estimates a loss of 30% to 40%
in income from chickens infested
with parasites. Frequent stirring
of litter with hydrated lime and
use of insecticide on birds and in
roosts are helpful.
Finally, a good winter feeding
program includes all ingredients
necessary to good health. For
best results, use packaged feeds
containing a balanced formula.
As a postscript, it is suggested
that flocks be rigidly culled of
weak or sickly birds and eggs
frequently gathered.
These practices point the way
to winter profits, says the Agri
cultural Service Division of the
Union Bag-Camp Paper Corpo
ration, makers of multiwall bags
for feed.
Tabasco Takes To Chafing Dish
Chafing dish meals are popular this time of year, for they bring
warmth and hospitable odors of good things cooking right to the
table. Try this Easy Tomato Cheese Rabbit now, and keep the
recipe handy for frequent Lenten use.
Cheese, an excellent source of protein, Is Inclined to be bland,
and you’ll find that proper seasoning docs much to improve its
acceptance. Probably the one best se&soner is Tabasco, the liquid
pepper from down south, aged and concentrated so that just a
small amount picks up bland dishes and puts them into gourmet
classification.

Who Uses Lean Beef
Now is the time of lean beef, the grass-fed, more economical beef
that comes right from the range. Lean beef makes wonderful dishes
when braised or simmered. Meat 1‘ie is typical of this culinary
school. The longer cooking characteristic of beef pie brings out all
the rich flavor and juiciness of the lean beef. And remember, it
contains the same high quality complete protein, 11 vitamins and
essential minerals as costlier cuts.

Game Room-Guest Room
A N UNUSUAL wall installa
tion provides game room facul
ties along with a guest closet and
a combination desk and vanity.
Modern and attractive, the vari
ous units may be used separately
or in combination.
As shown in the left of the
illustration, the game room-guest
closet gives little clue as to its
real purpose. A functional door,
about 8 inches thick, has storage
behind sliding panels of Masonite
Ridgeline, and the closet interior
is outfitted with “Peg-Board"
panels and fixtures.
Behind the central closed
swinging doors, made of a new
hardboard known as Panelply,
are space for a TV set and books.
At the right is the combina
tion desk and vanity, including
nicknack shelves.
Each of the three units can
be built in the average home

Trainer Shows Students How to Avert Car Crashes
Whether an impending highway
crash turns into another disaster or
a near miss may depend on a driver’s
behind-the-wheel prowess the instant
after the emergency develops.
In this split-second interval, many
drivers act instinctively—and often
what they do is wrong. Some panic,
let go ef the wheel. Still others
freeze, do nothing.
While thousands of youths are
taught to drive in the nation’s high
schools, they get precious little in
struction in meeting highway emer
gencies.
Limited surveys of driver educa
tion programs show that trained
drivers have far fewer accidents than
those with no training. Good as this
record is, many safety educators—
like Dr. Herbert J. Stack of the Cen
ter for Safety Education at New
York University—believe it would
be even better if drivers were taught
what to do in highway emergencies.
Staging crash situations with real
cars to give student drivers practice
in meeting emergencies on the high
way would give any driver educa
tion instructor nightmares. Obvi
ously, such a program was out of
the question.
Now, however, many student driv
ers are receiving this vital training,
thanks to a revolutionary classroom
training device called the /Etna
Drivotrainer, which is being used
in an increasing number of high
• chools throughout the country.
No Risk In Drivotrainer
But with the Drivotrainer, special
movies that show a driver’s eye
view of the road ahead bring the
highways into the classroom where
beginning drivers—without risk to
themselves or others—can learn how
to avert a crash.
In the Drivotrainer, which was
developed by the /Etna Casualty and
Surety Company, students take their
hchind-the-wheel training in small
model cars which they learn to
' drive” on highways sfiown on a(

huge movie screen the same as they
would appear through the windshield
of a real car.
While the Drivotrainer course cov
ers everything from basic skills like
steering and shifting to more com
plex techniques like parallel parking
and making U and Y turns, one of
the 19 special training films is de
voted wholly to emergency training.
In this part of the course, students
experience a nerve-tingling scries of
potential accident situations on the
Drivotrainer’s movie highways and
are drilled in the behind-the-wheel
maneuvers that will avoid a crash.
By doing what cannot be done
with conventional training methods,
the Drivotrainer will help future
motorists »o do spontaneously the
thing that will avert an accident
when they're on real highways.
First used in the New York City
schools, the Drivotrainer has since
been introduced in Los Angeles, Oak
Park, 111., Oklahoma City, Dearborn
and Lansing, Mich., Springfield, Mo.,
Fort Collins, Colo., Waterloo and
Mason City, la., Freeport and Bum
