Prop and Tiller CLUB HOUSE

Look, Dad—They print wires now!

In a wide variety of electronic wonders—from hearing aids to guided missiles—printed wiring, etched from paper-thin Anaconda “Electro-Sheet” Copper, saves space, time, and money.

Remember the time you tried to fix the radio?

Yet the ugly voice of bigotry is heard again — warning that Catholics “owe allegiance to a foreign potentate”… that “Popery” is a “menace to democracy”. .. even that Catholicism is as “totalitarian as Communism.” Read the rest of this entry »
