...furnaces, steelmakers are able to increase their production 20% ; Jones & Laughlin's President Avery C. Adams hails the process as "the only major technological breakthrough in the steel industry since the turn of the century." Last week Air Products announced three new plants for steel companies. It will build and operate a $10 million plant for Weirton Steel, j a $3,000,000 plant for Granite City Steel, and a $7,000,000 plant for Jones & , Laughlin.

...Orleans Architect Arthur Q. Davis, 39, partner in the firm of Curtis & Davis, proved that a man does his best when he builds to please himself. Davis was both his own client and architect, set out to build a "carefree pavilion'' beside his house as "a retreat from the numerous activities connected with living in a house with a growing family." Davis ensured that he would be detached both physically and emotionally from the backyard by setting his retreat on steel posts so that it seems to float above the pond. The 2¼-inch-thick vaulted concrete...
...coin counting has spawned sincere flattery: imitation Disneylands are shooting up across the country. The best are the brainchildren of drawling, blunt-talking Texan C. V. Wood, 38, a onetime industrial engineer whose survey on Disneyland's prospects so impressed the master that he was invited in to build the park.

This week, his latest is open: $4,000,000 Pleasure Island, 14 miles north...

In the absence of their preferred prey, ravenous British foxes turned to moles, rats, blackberries and garbage cans. They lost the stamina they used to build up chasing rabbits, no longer led hunters off on the long, steady chases of old. Instead, they developed a tendency to head for the nearest suburb, leaving hunters embarrassedly clattering through backyards and garbage dumps. Another curious side effect: British buzzards, deprived of protein once obtained from rabbit carrion, suffered loss of fertility...
...receive dividends on the same basis as stockholders until 15 years after they retire (or to their estates if they died). Initially, these dividends would be small (e.g., Homer's share, based on 1958 figures, would have been only $15,586), but over the years they could conceivably build up to the point where a future president might get more than under the old bonus system. No Bethlehem executive is so optimistic as to expect bonuses to return to what were the really good old days. In 1929 President Eugene Grace set an alltime record by collecting...
