Remote Controls ToMake U.S. Land Os Big Thumb

CHICAGO (UP >—Remote controls are about to make America the land of the big thumb. So says John Bentia. who envisions such things as houses which will close their own windows when it rains. Bentia, president of Alliance Manufacturing Co., Alliance, Ohio, said that by 1980 "we’ll be pushing buttons every time we turn around.” Such modern miracles as remote control TV tuners and radio actuated coffee pots will be dwarfed by gadgets already on the drawing boards, Bentia said. For example, he said, your car will be equipped to park itself in the garage at night. The next morning the family buggy will start itself and be warmed up by the time you’re ready to leave the bouse. Pre-Set Controls All this will be accomplished by pre - sei, motor-actuated controls which are available today, Bentia said. The job of cooking meals will be turned over to a voice-actuated remote system using personal twoway radio or telephone. Thus, you may telephone home and say, “Start cooking supper, Dear. I’m

leaving the office at five.’’ And although your wife may still be out with the girls, automatic controls will start the evening meal, finishing it* just in time so that everything’s piping hot when you get home. Bentia said sensing controls will gather data on weather conditions and send signals to windows, doors or awnings, which in turn will adjust automatically to meet the situation. "Os course,” said Bentia, "if someone is home he’ll be able to use the nearest remote control panel — there’ll be one in each room—to operate doors and windows throughout the house.” No More Lost Golf Balls ■ Remote control “baby sitting" will be accomplished by portable, two-way closed-circuit television, designed to enable parents to keep an eye on their offspring while visiting neighbors down the street. A boon to package - laden shoppers will be the automatic house door, which will have no key. Instead of an ordinary lock, Bentia said. Ihe door will be equipped with a fool-proof voice-actuated coding system. Just say the password and the door will open. And lost golf balls will become a thing of the past, Bentia said. I Personal radar sets will seek out your ball from all-others, and will direct either you or a remote controlled “golf ball finder” to its location. The "finder,” as envisioned by Be.tia, will be a small, self powered gadget which will scoot along the ground on rubber wheels to spot your golf ball while you amble down the fairway.

Approximately 220,000 Texans are employed in the state’s petroleum industry which boasts an annual payroll of about $1 billion. Trade in a Good Town — Decatut

Corn Referendum Tuesday, Dec. 11 U.S. Corn Growers To Vote On Plans Indiana farmers who grew corn in 1956 can vote December 11 to decide if they want their corn program next year to be on an acreage allotment or a soil bank Sorn base. This is part of a naonal referendum required by the soil bank act. Two-thirds of those voting must favoi the soil bank base to have it in force from 1957 through 1959. Voting in Indiana will be done at community polling places under jurisdiction of the county agricultural stabilization and conservation committees. According to Reed Wilson, state ASC chairman, the procedure will be similar to the voitng on wheat and tobacco marketing quotas earlier this year. • » If less than two-thirds of those voting favor the soil bank base, allotments will continue in effect on corn for 1957. These allotments will be about 14 percent less than the 3,576,766 acres alloted for Indiana in 1956. They will also be about 25 percent lower than the soil bank corn base was for this year. Price support under allotments will be $1.36 a bushel. For 1957, the soil bank corn base is expected to be nearly the same for Indiana as the 4,213,430 acres set for 1956, Wilson said. Figures in all states will be reduced slightly because 54 corn counties have been added *to the United States’ commercial corn area. Before December 11, ' all farmers will be advised by their county ASC committees or both their individual farm base and their allotment acreages. If two-thirds of the voting farmers choose a soil bank base, they will get $1.31 per bushel for price support. Under this plan, they must reduce their planted areas of corn by 15 percent. Or they may plant their full com base and set aside in a conservation reserve an acreage of other crop land equal to 15 percent of the base. Payments will be made on acres set aside according to normal yield or a productivity index. If producers choose the soil bank corn base, a farmer must comply with other allotments set for his farm, except that he may grow 15 acres of wheat without violation. Farmers may get more information on the referendum at their county ASC offices. Bowling Scores G. E.

Early Christmas Mailing Is Urged < Local Postmaster Urges Early Mail Postmaster Leo Kirsch today urged the citizens of Decatur to shop early and mail early this Christmas season to facilitate the processing of the largest Christmas mailing In the history of the Decatur post office. To put off mailing Christmas cards and parcels until the last moment results in an extra burden being placed on the postal employees and on the postal facilities of the Decatur post office, Kirsch pointed out. Every facility of the Decatur post office will be pressed into maximum service so that again this year, as in the past, the local post office will be cleared, if possible, of all Christmas mail by Christmas. “There are still some people who retain the mistaken idea that a gift or card arriving on Christmas Eve has a special significance,*' postmaster Kirsch said. "It is the thought behind the gift or card, not the time of arrival which is the important consideration." « In an appeal to all -the citizens of Decatur, the postmaster praised the fine cooperation of past years when record mail loads were processed and delivered and asked that this same cooperation be again in evidence this year. "By following the simple suggestions of mailing early, wrapping carefully and addressing plainly, the citizens of Decatur will be assured of the safe and timely arrival of their Christmas mail,” the postmaster added.
