BLOCK'S HAS ADDED an extra nine days to the

month of April, at least on one of the store's cash registers.

Mrs. E. M. McCormick, R. R. 12, Box 102, sends us a receipt stub which she received after purchasing a: pair of shoes in-Block's. Mrs. Mc-

" Cormick says she made the purchase on Thursday,

May 9 but the date on the stub is April 3¢, 1946. +. « You can never be sure what's going to happen when you call Dick Miller's house. The other day the voice: on the other end of the line said “Information Please, Sgt. Miller speaking.” It turned out to be Sgt. Gene Miller, son of the Coliseum manager, who's home on convalescent leave from Camp Swift, Tex. His job at the camp is answering phones in the information bureau, hence the sligthly confusing telephone response. . . . We're plenty mad at the postoffice. We

went home the other night and found a special de-

livery packhge ‘was “being held” for us in the postoffice. We tried to get it the next night and found it was out on the route again. Anothef try 24 hours later found the people at the postoffice just as mystifled as we were as to where it could be located. We tried again on Saturday via telephone and made another trek to the federal building Sunday——stitl no package. If it had been gold or diamonds we could be more forgiving. But we're madder than hops because that package which has dropped out of sight contained butter—one ‘pound of that good creamery butter.

New Styles in ‘Specs’ THE DAY WHEN GALS who wore glasses were objects of pity is past. Nowadays the girls who don't wear glasses are the ones who miss all the fun, As a matter of fact, some of the teen-age girls wear specs with plain window glass as lenses just so they can latch onto some of the “fawncy” frames that ‘are the tad. The newest gimmick in the spectacle line are the frames bedecked with rhinestones. The Jewelled specs popped up in local stores after a myopic Hollywood actress went partying with genuine diamonds sprinkled ‘around the frames of her glasses. Most of the local stores have two styles, amber or black up-tilted frames with rhinestones across the upper extremities. They're used either as sun glasses or as frames for glasses. A Howe high school junior, Carol Schneider, 1003 N. Audubon rd., who says her present glasses are only “slightly extreme,” looked over, a pair of the glitter-glasses at Robinson Optical Co. on the Circle yesterday. Robinson's and other stores which carry the new fads say they've sold quite a few pairs already and that it looks like a new fad is being born. We're holding our breath until the fads that are sweeping New York—wide white frames with vivid handpainted seenes on the bows or huge doughnut shaped jobs sprinkled with peas, cranberries and miniature fruit—make their appearance in our town.

G.I. Joe College

(Second of a Series)

NEW YORK, May 14.—Despite the benefit of the G. 1. bill of rights, the education of G. I. Joe still is a big struggle, both for the returning veterans who are flocking to U, S. colleges and universities in overwhelming numbers and for the schools themselves, Finances are a big item. For the ex-G. I. it means getting along on the meager government allowance, plus what additional money he can earn in part-time work—which is not’ much—and his savings. For the colleges and universities, it means stretchIng existing housing and educational facilities to the maximum, and even coughing up some of their own funds to put the program across. This last matter may be taken care of in future contracts between the veterans administration and the colleges but at present it stands like this: The veterans administration pays the college or university its listed tuition costs, which by no means covers the cost of giving a G. I. the education offered him in the bill of rights. In the first place, in all endowed schools and in most public schools the tuition a student pays covers only a part of the cost of his“sehooling. Dr. Alan Gregg, director of medical sciences at the Rockefeller foundation, recently pointed out to students graduating from medical school that they had paid $500 a year tuition. The cost of teaching them amounted to $3650 a year, Admittedly this is the extreme example and the spread between tuition fees and teaching costs would be much lower in undergraduate training. Nevertheless, endowed schools will have to find more money to make up the difference or limit their enrollments.

School Bears Cost

WHILE THIS is not a major drain, it can. mount up. A school with 1000 G. Ls, who normally would pay $200 tuition a semester, borrows that tuition

Aviation

THERE ARE still a great many people, even those regularly flying on the airlines, who do not understand the atmosphere and its behavior. For instance, there is the persistent reference to “air pockets” as the explanation for what is really rough air—what we, in the parlance of the trade, call “bumps,” The air is never still. No matter how breathless the atmosphere may appear, it is moving. Hot air ascends, and cold .air descends. Nowhere is the air of uniform temperature. - Columns of air are moving in your living room or in your office. They are tiny columns ascending or descending, Outdoors these columns are of far greater volume and dimensions. Sandy land radiates the heat of the sun's rays and thus heats the air above it. Naturally this heated air ascends irrespective of the speed at which it is moving horizontally. The greater the land area of this type, the greater the volume of air affected. Hence the greater the column of ascending air. A forest absorbs the sun's rays and does not radiate the heat. The air over the forest is cool. Hence it descends. And as it descends the air above it will be attracted downward. The overall result wil] be a column of descending air over a forest—conforming in dimension and volume to the size of the forest.

Moving Currents Make Bumps THUS WE picture two great columns of air—one moving upward, and the other moving downward. An airplane traveling at, say 160 miles per hour, encounters the rising column of air., The plane is lifted. The speed at which the air happens to be rising, plus the speed at which the plane strikes this

My Day

NEW YORK, Monday.—On arriving here vesterday, having driven. from Hyde Park through torrents of rain, we were greeted by a message that, because of the weather, the mayor had decided to tall off the citizens’ “save OPA” rally which was to have been held at 2:30 at the Lewisohn stadium. I was sorry for the committee in charge, but patted myself on the back as I thought of all the pleasant things I could do with a free afternoon. But that was not to last long! In about an hour, they called back to say that, since the sun was now out and the weather man was evidently wrong in his predictions of more rain, we would all meet at the stadium at 3 o'clock. My son Franklin Jr., who was to preside, arrived a little ‘late with his wife because they had to drive in from Long Island. The meeting progressed and, much to my surprise, in spite of the last-minute changes, about-5000 people were on hand, :

C.1.0,, A. F. of L. on Same Platform

IT WAS A responsive audience. And it was one of the rare occasions on which representatives ‘of the C. I O. and the A. PF, of L, both spoke on the same platform on the same side of a question. ; The mayor, congratulating {hose who had come to this meeting, announced that we were going to be

through this fight, and that, if one rally were not fough, we would go right on having them until the weather man found it convgnient to have a wonderful
