...readers. The kids are tough little creatures. They learn to read, not because their parents or teachers want them to, but because they are interested enough to go on to the next page. They used to read excitedly about Hansel and Gretel pushing their grandma into the oven,* but the kids didn't go around afterward pushing their own grandmothers into the oven...
...merely the inconvenient hulk that cuts off the January sun at 3:30 p.m. and sends swimming pool loungers shivering toward the bar. But previously inaccessible Mount San Jacinto is soon to be a resort area itself. The world's largest passenger-carrying tramway will lift vacationers from oven-like Chino Canyon to a winter-temperature summer resort some 5,900 ft. above-from the California desert to the California Alps in 15 minutes...

This was done slowly and painfully by water jets and scraping tools inserted through the cracks.

Pumped or carted from huge storage areas, these ingredients are squeezed and squirted into an endless line of aluminum foil pans that winds through an oven at the rate of 2,400 an hour and finally out to the shipping room. But Lubin's goal in automating is not the usual one of saving labor costs; instead it is to build the undeviating accuracy of machines into the quality of his cakes...
