Bakers complain that so many highly-paid jobs are now available that they cannot get roundsmen to deliver their bread. Most firms that still deliver bread now make a special charge for delivery, but they refuse to take on more customers because they have difficulty in even maintaining their present rounds. Dad's Day EUGEN'E, Ore. (INS) — Students who had charge of Dad's Day observances at the University of Oregon didn’t mean to make dad a woman, but that's what it looked like. They decided that the theme of the festivities should be "Viva la Pappa!” but in either French or Spanish, that makes dad a female. The foreign language department pointed out the mistake before the big day, however, and before any dads arrived the signs read, “Viva Papa!” i

Danger Sounds DAYTON, O„ (INS) — Danger sounds in industry are often the . same as in murder mysteries. , When a plant “private eye” hears a slap, scream or groan, he knows a life is in danger. V-belts on . machines make all these noises when they are in trouble. Fftst , sleuthing by a maintenance man will detect the trouble, save the belt and prevent costly losses of production time, say Dayton Rubber engineers.
