House of Tin Cans
Built by Bachelor
Ai Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City UR Every
thing comes in cans nowadays
even houses.
A 30-year-old bachelor danc
ing teacher named John F. Gree
ny is building himself a small
house on the outskirts of Salt
Lake City. The walls' are made
cf tin cans.
The idea of using the neglect
ed tin can to build a home orig
inated with Greenig's brother-in-law,
Arnold O. Stags, a tool
and die maker.
Stagg had hauled some refuse
to the city dump when he saw
a mound ol discarded motor oil
cans and thought some use could
be made of them.
Two-Car Garage
After months of tinkering, he
invented a power-driven tool
that staples the cans together
when they are lid side by side
and row upon row on top of
each other.
cThe first, thing Stagg built
with, th cans was a two-car ga
rage. This gave Greenig the idea
of building himself a home with
the empty mc-tal containers.
Greenig first stapled together
four wails of cans, leaving space
for windows and doors.-Next,
. he ran tcel rcxls through the
'"cans for reinforcement. The rods
connett to concrete, posts at each
"cower of the houe.
Finally he lifted the can walls
into place they had been as
sembled on the ground horizon
' tally and covered the cans
with tuco and plaster.
Strong Walls
The result is a one-story home
: that Greenig maintains is both
sturdy and well-insulated.
It too: Grcenin only an hour
and a half to gather the tin cans
he needed for the job. He esti
mates that using cans in the con
struction instead of regular
building materials has saved him
roughly "$1,000. The one-bedroom
home will cost only S2.000.
"These tin can walls are very
strong because of the way they
are reinforced."' Greenig said.
1 "I'm certain the house will stand
longer than one made of brick."

Washington (U.PJ The
pheasant shooting season is on
in. my home state. I like the yarn
my colleague
from the Chica
go Sun - Times
springs about
the educated
pheasant. Spin
ning yarns, is
not against
the rules if
you don't use
a name. My
uirmiK Mrnm friend Jack R.
GViffin, of course, did -not catch
the name of the pheasant. All of
the birds I ever met don't have
a name unless they are in a cage.
Jack, I suspect, called upon
his imagination, which the very
young in our profession some
times lack.
Anyhow, It seems that this city
feller from Chicago went down
in my part of the country in
Central Illinois and was fixing
to do in a pheasant. And there
he came upon a ring-necked
lovely whjch must have gone to
college.
"This pheasant," Jack told his
readers, "could read and also
tell time."
The Story
The way my yarn-spinning pal
put it:
The slicker from the city,
double-barreled shotgun loaded
with No. 6 shot and at the ready,
came upon this pheasant. The
bird, it seemed, looked at the
book of rules and rolled over. It
is against the law in that part of
the country to shoot a bird unless
he happens to be on the wing.
This bird apparently had read
the book.
According to Jack, this candi
date for something under glass
wasn't about to get off its sitter.
So the city feller started pitching
apples, trying to get a rise out
of the prey. It didn't work.
Finally, however, the bird
took off on a high wind.
The hunter looked at his
watch. It was 5:05 p.m.. five
minutes after cease fire time in
Illinois.
That bird was smart.
But birds don't have to be
smart to out-smart me. I am as
heavy-footed as a dinosaur stuck
in the mud when it comes to
hunting.
Dad tride his best, but I didn't
cotton much to shotguns and
rifles. I wasn't too bad with the
rifle but the shotgun had a kick.
Not only that, there was the un
pleasant business of squatting in
a duck island.
And in the case of the pheas
ants the pants-ripping barbed
wire around fields posted with
"No Hunting, Penalty of Law"
signs. Not to mention snakes in
the grass and angry bulls.
,1 don't believe I have ever
killed anything in my life, ex
cept for the accidental stepping
on ants, or trapping mice via the
cheese bait.
New Hampshire Has
High Savings Rate
Concord, N.K. U.P.) New
Hampshire's r ec e n t economic
comeback is best seen in random
statistics culled by the State
planning and development com
mission. They show that New
Hampshire enjoys one of the
highest rates of personal savings
in the United States. Granite
Staters now hold more than
S500.000.000 in mutual savings
bank deposits, and share with
Massachusetts residents the dis
tinction of owning more shares
of stock per capita than any
other Americans.
New Hampshire also averages
the highert family food budget
in the country $1,046 per

Stalin Degrading
Boon To Mappers
Pittsburgh (UP.) The Soviet
denunciation of Josef Stalin will
have an effect on the map busi
ness, according to Carl H.
Mapes. chief map editor of
Rand McNally & Co.
He expects places such as
Stalino and Stalingrad will take
on new names as the present
Soviet leaders continue to down
grade the late leader.
Mapes outlined map -making
problems before a convention of
the Special Libraries Assn. here. I
Another big trend, is the grad
ual disappearance of the tra
ditional British pink.
Once it was splattered in
globs on world maps. But now
it has all but vanished, save for
Canada and Australia.
The British pink, incidentally,
is the only perennial color in
the cartographic trade, Mapes
said. It's an inheritance from
English mapmakers.
The post-war switch from co-1
lonialism to independence has
brought about wholesale eras-;
ures, especially in maps of j
Southeast Asia. The birth ofj
a national always brings a col
or switch and usually a name
change.
Mapes predicted the big
change will come in the next
decade in Africa where several
nations already have won inde
pendence. '
At home, he said, his com
pany's chief research project
will be to compile a scorecard
on the names and numbers of ;
new highways expected under .

7812 Daughters Make
Corsages From Money
Syracuse, N.Y. Oi.P.) The
U.S. Daughters of 1812 came up
with a different sort of corsage
at their 61st annual meeting
here.
The women sported dollar
bills on their lapels in place of
the usual orchids.
The bills, fancily folded and
tied together with ribbon, were
returned to the organization at
the end of the conference. The
money will be used to furnish
the 1812 room of the Ten Br.oeck
Mansion in Albany.
