1 Sweet Round-House
Those designs for living in the
world of tomorrow keep coming.
Every day some fellow who must
have studied architecture while
riding in Mardi Gras parades
springs something newer and screw
ier in housing.

The brass ring In this month’s
Carousscl Ride with Blueprints goes
to a Kansas man who has produced
a round bungalow.
•
It looks like a butter dish with
ventilation arrangements, a super
mousetrap with roof, a derby hat
with windows.
*
It is made of aluminum and is
suspended on cables from a steel
shaft. The rooms, six of ’em, are
cut in like slices in a pie. It is the
Ideal home for a six day bicycle
racer who has married the winner
of a marathon waltz and who is
raising a family of hysterical roller
skaters.

It takes a heap of living to make
a place seem home, as Edgar Guest
said. And Edgar never lived in a
home where the tenants had to steal
three laps on themselves to deter
mine where the front door was.
»
A window runs all around the
house. No matter where you sit you
get a choice of views. Life in a
house like this must make you feel
like a cross between a roulette ball,
the needle in a compass and breast
of chicken under glass.
*
In such a home you are really a
chocolate eclair with ears and a
cream puff with plumbing troubles.
•
Viewed from a distance the place
looks like half a watermelon lyith
curtains over the wormholes.
•
In it there is the spirit of a Sal
vadore Dali dream sequence, a
night-club designer’s nightmare
and a pinwheel maker’s lost week
end.

We are ordering one for summer
occupancy. But we will shoot the
first neighbor who sticks his head
into our living room and yells
“Fifty dollars for a sprint!”

Spring Signs
Gentle spring is here I know—
The thrush sings in the tree,
The turtle dove is singing low,
(We’ll soon bomb Bikini) . . .
The frogs are croaking on the pond,
The kids play mumble-peg,
Lambs gambol in the fields
beyond . ..
("Will peace now lay an egg!).
The vernal season, yes, is here,
And I have ample proof:
Much gayer is the chanticleer,
The squirrels romp my roof;
I saw an oriole today,
The buds burst near my door—
And everywhere the people say,
“Looks like another war!”
The bluebird soon will be along,
The dew is on the grass,
The woodland now is full of song
And congress full of gas;
The hurdy-gurdies grind it out . . .
(The little states get knocked about
As ultimatums fly!).
\
The waterfall is foaming white,
The trout are seen to break,
I heard a nightingale last night . . .
(Joe Stalin’s on the make);
Along the wall, the chipmunks run,
We soon will have bock beer,
(Our army has a rocket gun
To pierce the stratosphere!).

Have you heard about the UNO
delegate who was disturbed in a
New York hotel and phoned down,
“I demand a little peace here!”?

There may be some good reason why no
nation ever lends any money to Uncle
Sam, but there can’t be any why none ever
offers him a cigar.

Use for Old Street Cars
The papers are devoting much
space to the “discovery that old
street cars can be converted into
pretty comfortable dwellings.” Dis
covery my eye! Years ago we were
a surface-car tenant, a two-surface
car dweller to be exact. Two were
hauled down to the beach of a Con
necticut shore resort and a small
living room built between them,
with a porch added front and rear.
Each car was used as a bedroom.
We occupied a set-up with a bunch
of boys back home. There was only
one drawback. Jim Finnegan used
to get in after midnight and enjoy
ringing up fares.

PLANE TALK
Interest in flying- is gaining
momentum locally. F.M. Greene,
our former school supt., took to
the air for his first time and re
marked it was the most beauti
ful picture he had ever seen.
Marion Houser had a similar ex
perience. Mr. Greene, C. P.
Gray and Marion Houser were
demonstrated power landings by
Chas. Farmer from above 2,000
feet coming in to a landing with
out the use of a motor.
Pat Muse, C. 0. Grimes and
Mrs. Alton Rainey have made
flights recently.
The Perry flying club is com
ing along nicely. Harry Thomp
son, who soloed last week, has
made many happy landings!
James Johnson is nearing his
solo flight; Marion Greene is do
ing fine with the hours he accu
mulated from last week’s news
column; Robert Thompson will
complete his cross country solo
this week and will be ready for
his private license soon. Charles
Andrew had a cross country trip
to Red Dog air port just across
the river near Cochran this week.
Mr. Kite is expected to join the
club soon.
Houser Davidson went up this
week and took over the controls
and is slated to become a pilot.
His son, Billie, obtained his pri
vate license sometime ago.
Among several visitors flying
their own planes were the flying
Sheriff of Milledgeville and Joe
League of Macon, Rocket,dealer.
F arming-industry
Balance Urged
Walter Cates, executive secre
tary of the Macon Chamber of
Commerce, told the Perry Kiwa
nis Club recently that the South
must develop industries to pro
cess its own products or look for
ward to remaining in the lowest
income bracket in the U. S.
He reminded the Kiwanians
that the South has sacrificed its
financial well-being for the tra
ditional agriculture emphasis
while other states have balanced
farming and agriculture to raise
their per-faraily income far
above the Southern average.
Weather Reporting
The science of predicting the
weather and making use of the pre
dictions has been advanced 20 years
by the war, in the opinion of army
meteorologists. The army, navy and
weather bureau trained thousands of
weother men and placed them at
land stations and on shipboard in
all theaters.
