10,885,000 Pounds of
Surplus Feathers . . .
WASHINGTON H1*—It’s all right
with the Senate for Uncle Sam to
get rid of some of those 5.8 million
pounds of surplus feathers in the
defense stockpile.
The Senate passed and sent to
the House a bill to let the General
Services Administration dispose of
the feather excess without wait
ing the six months now required
by law for stockpile items.
The feathers and down involved
are from waterfowl. Stockpile of
ficials bought 10,885,000 pounds of
them for $45 million under a de
fense plan to have a five-year sup
ply ready for an future emer
gency
They were intended for use in
! military sleeping bags, casualty
I evacuation bags and medical pil- '
j lows.
Government experts now esti
mate the feather stockpile is worth
$27 million, or a loss of about $18 !
million.
The Senate Armed Services !
' Committee reported that "a new i
! process for treating chicken fea
1 thers permits the use of this I
j material in combination with i
j waterfowl feathers for uses that
i formerly could be met only by I
j waterfowl feathers.”

It was Philip Wylie who ob- i
served. "We’re about to enter the
age of flight before we’ve even
developed a chair that a man can
I sit on comfortably.” I

For the homemaker who wants a second oven but doesn’t
want to replace her present range, new “mount-it-anywhere”
units may be the best answer.
An example is the Caloric
gas oven shown located on a
counter. It can also be wall
hung above a slide-in range or
countertop range and can be
recessed into a kitchen cabinet
or a wall as a “built-in” unit.
The 18-inch-wide oven easily
accommodates a large roast
and it has new controls that au
tomatically keep food at ready
to-serve temperature for as
long as five hours after cooking
is completed. The Caloric “sec
ond” oven is also ideal for
warming rolls, thawing frozen
foods, or reheating leftovers.

If plans are being made to
travel by car to either Canada
\ or Mexico, auto liability cover
age should be checked since
each country presents a differ
ent situation for the American
driver.
Canada, for example, has fi
nancial responsibility laws that
vary by province and it's wise
to make sure that your liability
limits are high enough to pro
tect you. If you are headed
north, you can obtain a non
resident financial responsibility
card for each Canadian province
you plan to visit.
Most insurance companies
will gladly provide them and
they are a must in case your
car is involved in an accident.
Some provinces go as far as
impounding vehicles if the
driver does not have a non
resident financial responsibility
card.
