Look: A Small Workbench
"C'VEN a simple table can be
* J made into a workbench. If
there’s limited space, a small
table, of the right height, will
serve, or build a table just the
size you want. It isn’t difficult
with framing lumber, shiplap
boards for a top and a working
surface of Masonite ‘A” Tem
pered Presdwood.
Any way you look at it, the
bulky workbenches of yesteryear
have given way to a more com
pact variety. Many are lea* than
two feet w’da, 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
bench, or table fixed up like one.
One ingredient most of them
have in common—a tough, dur
able working surface, usually
Masonite Tempered Presdwood,
which is popular for this use be
cause it’s been found so satis

< benches. If and when it wears
out, just remove it and attach
, another sheet of the material,
available at most lumber yards.
Even an apartment can have
a workbench of the type illus
trated. A portable one, which fits
over a kitchen table when needed,
: is made by framing a panel of
j Tempered Presdwood with 1 by
t-inch lumber (on edge), so it will
' slip over the table. For padding,
i use an old blanket. Store the
: portable workbench top in a
* closet or utility room when it's
i Dot being used.
Woven Folding Screen
llfANY uses exist in the home
A for a folding screen. This
useful device may be made in the
home workshop. An unusual de
sign, which any craftsman can
make, is illustrated.
The woven strips are Masonite
Presdwood or Duolux, a hard
board that’s smooth on both sides.
Pliable yet strong, either material
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.”

Florida Orange Juice Travels
Whether the lunchbox is bound for school, factory or office, it's
a good idea to include Florida orange juice. Working men and
women cs well as children need the energy and vitamin C the
tasty juice provides. Put enough in the thermos container for a
mid-morning pickup as well as a lunchtime treat.
From every five pounds of Florida juice oranges you'll get at
least one quart of flavorful juice, thanks to their thin skins. Protect
your family’s health by serving orange juice daily.

Who Uses Lean Beef
Now is the time of lean beef, tho grass-fed, more economical beef
that comes right from the range. Lean beef makes wonderful dishes
when braised or simmered. Meat Pie 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, B vitamins and
essential minerals as costlier cuts.
MEAT PIE
VA pounds lean beef (boned 2 tablespoons chopped celery
chuck, round, flank or rump) leaves
2 teaspoons salt 2 sprigs parsley
XA teaspoon pepper 12 small white onions, peeled
3 tablespoons flour 3 medium carrots, scraped
1 tablespoon bacon drippings and quartered
3 cups water ’Biscuit topping
, Have beef cut in 1-inch pieces. Blend together 1 teaspoon of the
salt, pepper and flour; roll pieces of meat in blended mixture.
Brown meat in bacon drippings. Add water, chopped celery, parsley
and remaining 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cover; simmer approximately
2 hours until meat is nlmost tender. Add onions and carrots. Cover
and cook until vegetables' are tender, about 26 minutes. To thicken
mixture; blend 1 tublespoon flour with XA cup cold water. Add a
small amount of tho hot liquid, then quickly stir into the meat
mixture. Turn into casserole. Cover with biscuit topping.
YIELD: 6 servings.
'Hitcuit Tapping
ltt cups sifted all purpose flour % teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder 4 tablespoons lard
XA cup milk
Sift flour, baking powder and salt into bowl. Cut in lard until
well mixed. Add milk, stirring quickly until a soft ball is formed.
Turn on a lightly floured bonrd and knead gently to shape into
smooth ball; roll lightly to XA inch thickness and cut with star
shaped cookie cutter or floured biscuit cutter. Place on hot meat
mixture. Bake in a hot oven (425' F.) 26 to 25 minutp*.

Trainer Shows Students How to Avert Car Crashes
Whether an impending highway
crash turns into another disaster 01
a near miss may depend on a driver’s
behind-the-wheel prowess the instam
after the emergency develops.
In this split-second interval, many
drivers act instinctively—and offer
what they do is wrong. Some panic,
let go ef the wheel. Still others
freeze, do nothing.
While thousands of youths art
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 that
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 woulc
be even better if drivers were taughi
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 ol
the question.
Now, however, many student driv
ers are receiving this vital training
thanks to a revolutionary classroom
training device called the jEtna
Drivotrainer, which is being used
in an increasing number of high
schools 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 tc
themselves or others—can learn how
to avert a crash.
In the Drivotrainer, which was
developed by the iEtna Casualty and
Surety Company, students take theii
behind-the-whee! training In small
model cars which they learn tc
“drive” on highways shown on s
CRASH DRILLS In Drivotralner classroom, where 15 students can be In
structed at a time free of on-the-road driving hazards, teach students
proper way to get out of common highway emergencies like this.
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 series of
potential accident situations on the
Drivotrainer's movie highways and
are drilled in the bchind-the-wheel
maneuver* that will avoid a crash.
By doing what cannot be done
with conventional training methods,
the Drivotrainer will help future
motorists to 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, III., Oklahoma City, Dearborn
and Lansing, Mich., Springfield, Mo.,
Fort Collins, Colo., Waterloo and
Mason City, la., Freeport and Ea.,'
