How much will Susie's $25 buy in 1960? Will my wife and I be able to live on my pension and insurance annuity after I'm retired, or will Susie have to help support us? I earn $60 a week but I receive only $55.70 after federal taxes are withheld . .. that's $223.60 taxes a year. I pay direct taxes for state and local government besides. About 5# of the price of a loaf of bread is for at least 151 hidden taxes. I pay over 11# tax on a 20# pack of cigarettes. "At least < $355 of the price of our new car was tax.

The great Turcot engine house fscllitles occupy a apace equivalent to three city blocks and here more than atx score steam and diesel engines are handled daily In the round structure that can house 61 "iron horses" at a time. The groom who tended horses in the days of the stage coach had a simple task In comparison with the work of caring for the modern iron horse of the rails. When they are eut out from their trains at Turcot, the iron hoises--steam and diesel --are moved to the roundhouse yard to begin their grooming process. Following an inapection by the en gineera. roundhouse hostlers tske over and drive the engines to the coal dock where their tenders are refueled and their sandboxes replenished. The coal dock diapenses an average of 1.800 tons of coal a day as well aa 10 tons of sand. The next atop for the locomottves is the ash pit where Are boxes are emptied Into a huge well conatructed beneath the tracks. This done the hostlera drive the engines to the roundhouse. There, skilled boiler men. mechanics, fitters and electricians go over every inch of the Iron horses, searching for and repairing any detects that may have developed on the run. With only normal aervlcing required, a locomotive can be ready tor the road in two or three hours. .< The roundhouse Itself is built to form the circumference of a circle. There are two gapa in the building to allow entrance and exit tracks ' to and from the circle's center.

The turntable is a platform mounted on a circular track set in a depression of the ground and bearing rails that connect with the various tracks leading Into the roundhouse. Hence, a locomotive moving on to the platform may be turned about and rhn off on any of the S? roundhouse. While Turcot Is Canada's largest roundhous^, there are in all 230 engine grooming plants of varloua slses throughout the National 3yatem. At Toronto, the roundhouse at 8padina turns out a daily average of 100 paasenger locomotivee and the roundhouse at Mlmlco handles 6S freight locomotives. In all the roundhouses, the work is essentially tracks into thej the same--grooming the Iron horses which haul Canada's pasaenger and freight tralna on round-the-clock schedules.

A guy who goes tor the oup that ebeers somewhat too much was finally cornered by his wife in a bar where he was dreamily contemplating a slug of rye. Being in a genial mood, he offered her a sip, but when she took it she gagged and spluttered, finally coming out with: "How can you ever drink that honrible . stuff?"

"That ball is reserved for calamities," said thai sextan, "such aa fires, floods, or a visit from the bishop." • Gathering Eggs Eggs should be gathered at least three times a day and should be delivered to the market as frequently as possible. Studies show that, during the summer, eggs delivered to market are generally of higher quality than those held for a longer time. A final precautionary measure is to prdvide the chickens with plenty of gbod nests aurlno the summer months. •• Married Men More American men are married, maintaining a home and raising a family--and what's more, apparently liking it--than ever before in the history of the country. This is based upon a study of the American husband by the siatisticiana of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. who bring attention to the impressive fact that there are now about 35% million married men in the United States, and that some 34% million of them are' living With their wives.

Glorious Fourth M«w ha Ceots How docs'an electric fan cool the air of a room The fan does not actually cool the air, but sets it in motion. As the moving air passes across one's body, it increases evaporation of moisture from the skin, which causes a sensation of coolness. When there is no breeze, a layer of air saturated with all the moisture it can hold tends to form over the body surface, preventing further evaporation, but the breeze blows it away and brings unsaturated air which can t§ke up more moisture. >* i„ Knew Market Terms Knowing the meaning to terms used helps farmers to understand market reports. "Market stronger" means prices are going up./'Market firm" means prices about the samo or slightly higher. "Market dull" means little trading.
