Busy Women Read Newspapers More One Readership Gap Findings
A national survey of 8500 women shows daily newspaper readership is 80 percent among working women and 77 percent among homemakers. The gap appears with busier, responsible women, especially those with two or three employed children, while unemployed or divorced women read less. Also notes a pale link between daily reading and multitasking ability. In separate notes, anthropologists claim five million year old jawbone remains in Africa as a primitive man ancestor, remarking that jaws are the sole, indestructible proof of man.

Lonely Towerman Marries Beauty and Isolation on Matney Mountain
Mountain Home Ark AP Lotus Foster a tenth year towerman for the state Forestry Commission and U S Forest Service sits 1300 feet above Baxter Fulton and Stone Counties atop Matney Mountain. He works a seasonal job with long shifts and monotony broken by occasional fires and dramatic views of the hills that resemble wrinkled green velvet. Foster, 16 unit 5 tower, earns 289 dollars monthly and shares a two bedroom house with his wife Neva while reflecting on the scenery and job satisfaction as the hardest months stretch from February to May. He climbs the nine flights of the 6 by 6 foot top box about four times daily and relies on a fire finder to locate fires and coordinate with other towers and rangers for cross checks. He avoids lightning and cherishes the tranquil, solitary life despite the loneliness.
