TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. June 28. 1956 Inventions Make Life Simpler, Sweeter and More Expensive By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Prtu Correspondent New York U.P; You may be taking a vacation, but the people who work at making your life limpler. better designed, tweet er smelling and more expensive never seem to stop. Reports on only 10 days of such progress piled up on this desk during a recent vacation a sloping, sliding hill of fat en velopes filled with triumphant announcements A perfume company is ready to start scenting women's bank checks. The sweet -smelling check enclosed with that an nouncement proved it can be done. Somebody thought up a comb w ith flexible teeth. It adjusts to lit your head. A company that makes pot holders and dish cloths hired the man who founded the Na tional Society of Decorative De signers to style their products A pot holder should be a thing of well-designed beauty, the company reports. Christian Dior set to work on the pot shape in hats and came up with a square bowl. The down-turned cloche brims that have covered our foreheads for the past couple of seasons should continue, the French designer decreed. Another Frenchman did the impossible. He patented a dining table on which dishes appear and disappear without being touched by human hands. The table is equipped with a moving conveyor belt. Press a button and a place setting moves in front of you. Press another but ton and it moves on to a com partment under the table where the dishes are washed, dried and polished. You still have to carry the food to the table from the atove. The first American-made rugs to be mothproofed will be in stores this fall, one fat envelope proclaimed. The mothproofing process also will be included in some children's sweaters. Men now can wear plastic golf shoes and dacron hats. The hats are strawlike and sturdy and the shoes are expensive and color ful. Dieters now have a new low- Need Cash TO COMPLETI A DOWN PAYMENT? Sit Stark Finance Co.

Know Your Way Then there are the belts for girls who like to know where they're going. The buckles are equipped with authentic com passes, and back-to-school dress es for girls who prefer to keep track of where they've been. Small diaries dangle from the belts. In case some inventive brain isn't already at work at this, we have analyzed this 10-day pile of progress reports and come up with a suggestion which ties in with several of the develop ments. It is an invention for dieters v.ho buy the' French man's automatic dining table. Just build a set of scales into a dining room chair seat. The diner could set them at his de sired weight. When he had eaten his quota, the scales would auto matically release the conveyor belt button and the food would move away from him and disap pear under the table.

Native of India Discusses Impact Of English Rule Ashland Dr. Eddy Asirva tham, lecturer from Madras, In dia, spoke to an assembly of townspeople and students Wednesday morning at South ern Oregon College. His topic. "A Birdscye View of India," contained a brief refer ence to India's history from 3.000 B.C until the present with the greater emphasis placed upon the years from 1947 when India gained her complete inde pendence until the present. Dr. Asirvatham observed that a number of both good and bad results were apparent when con sidering the impact of England's rule upon his country. He cited the fact that the elimination of great famines was good; that 34 -000 miles of railroads were built by the British; a knowledge of the English language was im parted to the upper classes; a parliamentary system of govern ment was instituted; and a large measure of law and order was brought to the country. As negative results under British rule, he listed: A loss of manliness, courage, and national self-respect; that the British had failed to solve the dual problem of poverty and mass educatic and the problem of mass ill health was virtually neglected. In support of the latter con tention, Dr. Asirvatham said that even now nearly one hun dred million of his countrymen suffered from malaria each year and that more than two million a year would die from this de bilitating disease. Tuberculosis alone claims one-half million lives each year. He declared that India was making giant strides in combat ing hunger and disease, saying that since 1947 after taking over from the British, the average life expectancy had risen from 26 to 33 years. The current foreign policy of India, according to Dr. Asirva tham, is that of independent neu trality serving as a bridge be tween East and West in the pro motion of universal peace. He stressed the current friendliness between India and the British as an example of peaceful rela tionships between conqueror and conquered brought about by rel atively peaceful means. In conclusion, he expressed the view that India would like to see a situation come about where there would be.
