...said we would have to be going, but Mr. Whiteside urged us to look in on filming and spotting before we left. "It's a lovely operation. Each glass gets a thin coating of dilute soap solution before final drying--just enough to give it a cloudy appearance. The spotters use the same mixture on trays; that's a job where people with artistic inclinations can indulge in creative expression." We thanked Mr. Whiteside for his offer but said we really did have to leave. For a while we had fears of getting lost in the tunnels...
...Rogers-Dale Evans Show (ABC), mercifully described as a variety hour, has run out of everything but saddle soap and sentimentality. It will disappear this month...

He thinks that the scientists daily performing molecular magic should get busy devising something better than soap. To be generally accepted by the public, it would have to be both inexpensive and solid, like a soap bar-requirements that the special liquid cleansers now on the market fail to meet. Dr. Bettley challenges modern chemical science to produce such a cleanser...
