A Wrinkle! I'm Getting Old!

BUT LADY.."dishpan hands" make

you look older than a wrinkle does!!

"Middle-aged hands" often make people add three to five years to your age... yet it's easy to guard against those criss-cross wrinkles on your knuckles, that coarsening of the skin... Protect your hands in the dishpan. Don't use ordinary washday soaps for dishes - they weren't made to protect sensitive skin. But IVORY SOAP was. Give your hands a gentle Ivory bath every time you wash dishes - you'll be surprised how nice your hands stay. Another surprise -- Ivory Soap actually costs less to use for dishs than washday chips and powders! So make Ivory your dishwashing soap today. Ask for practical "Large Size" Ivory.

Keep your Hands Young
... wash dishes with IVORY SOAP

Happy Birthday R.Crumb

Robert Dennis Crumb (born August 30, 1943) — known as R. Crumb — is an American artist and illustrator recognized for the distinctive style of his drawings and his critical, satirical, subversive view of the American mainstream.

Crumb was a founder of the underground comix movement and is regarded as its most prominent figure. Though one of the most celebrated of comic book artists, Crumb's entire career has unfolded outside the mainstream comic book publishing industry. One of his most recognized works is the "Keep on Truckin'" comic, which became a widely distributed fixture of pop culture in the 1970s. Others are the characters Devil Girl, Fritz the Cat, and Mr. Natural.

Lunar Exploration Suit 1960

In this September 1960 photo, Allyn B. “Hap” Hazard wears a space suit he designed. Hap was a Senior Development Engineer in the Missile Engineering Section of JPL in 1959 when he wrote a plan for manned space exploration. JPL was transitioning from missiles to space exploration, and Hap had a lot of ideas about the subject. In March 1961, Hap left JPL to work at Aerojet, and presumably to work on the suit and his other inventions. In addition to the suit, he designed and built a hydrofoil boat and a snow making machine during his time at JPL.

It doesn’t appear that the suit was ever an official JPL project, and very little documentation exists in the JPL Archives except for the photographs and his report, which includes a disclaimer, “The views expressed in this paper are those of the writer ….” The Section 352 online photo album includes a series of photos and drawings of his Lunar Exploration Space Suit Mark 1 and plans for a moonmobile that could be controlled from the dashboard inside the suit.

After Hap left JPL, he and the suit appeared or were mentioned in Life magazine, Boys Life, and the Syracuse Post-Standard. An Experimental Engineering class at UCLA studied the suit, and Mattel created an astronaut toy that wore a replica of it. Even today there are many web sites that include the story of Hap Hazard, his space suit, and Major Matt Mason (the toy).

There is no magic behind the success of the Canon camera. It is simply the result of Canon's superior design and workmanship. Each Canon camera, each of the many superlative Canon lenses will demonstrate this face beyond question.
