...demands of change and to roll with the movement. Nowhere last week was the common aptitude better stated than in Woburn, Mass., where Gas Station Owner Joe Hanson was moving his house an eighth of a mile and building a new gas station to accommodate a wider, smoother, brighter, speedier Route 93. Said Joe Hanson: "I'm sure I'll get a fair deal from the state. I won't be compensated for my inconvenience. But I'll end up with a better business. I'll live in a better community. Things will...
Today Wall Street is looking to a brighter future. Experts expect that trading will be slow for the rest of the year, that stocks will seesaw in a narrow range. The big test of whether the market has seen its low will come in the next six weeks, when companies release their first-quarter earnings. Railroads, copper and other metals, already hard hit in 1957, are not likely to improve. Nevertheless, Wall Street feels that the basis is being laid for a rise in late 1958 and 1959.

Instead of a plain, almond-shaped sack, designers are moving the hemline up, the neckline down, taking in waists, adding pleats, ruffles, tapered skirts, brighter colors all around. And for each new style, there is a new name: side-draped "toga coats" by Jacques Griffe; the slope-shouldered "Sling Drape" by Castillo of Lanvin; the gently indented Egg-Cup Silhouette" by Jacques Heim.

"I have spent my life painting twilights," he said. "I ought to have the right now to paint the dawn." Last week, at his home in Paris, Georges Rouault, 86, died of uremia. During the last six months he had painted hardly at all. Said his daughter Isabelle: "He remained silent, absorbed before the unfinished canvases on the walls of his studio, as though he were seeking a final contact...
While Beech still sticks to relatively high-priced planes, Cessna is moving all around, adding new planes to complement its five single-engined models ($9,000 to $16,850) and its twin-engined Model 310 ($60,000). In the future Cessna hopes to shine even brighter. One important project is Cessna's YH-41 light helicopter, now undergoing tests for the U.S. Army; eventually Cessna hopes to develop a vast commercial market. A second is jets. Last week Cessna landed another $10 million Air Force order for its 400-m.p.h. twin-jet T-37 trainer, booking production solidly...
