THE FIREMEN OF STATION 1T turned the table ~lunch table, that is—on William J. Oberting, proprietor of the Burgoo lunch, cloge by the station at Madison and Prospect sts, yesterday. Mr. Oberting has been feeding the firemen for years, so yesterday the firemen fed him. embering all the times he’s toted hot coffee and sandwiches to the men as he pursued second alarm fires, they threw a big dinner for him. A lo} of the boys said a lot of nice things about him and then came the climax. Chief Harry H. Fulmer presented him with a badge, purchased by the firemen of 17, labeling him an honorary fireman, + + + Ann Lindstaedt, who graduated from Shortridge high-school last year, got an urge to organize material for a history of music at the school, while she was & student there. The result of her undertaking, a magazine entitled, “The History of Music at Shortridge” has just been published, We never realized how much interesting material could be connected with such a subject until we leafed through the 50page magaZine, Dedicated to an early principal, George W. Benton, who did much to encourage music study, the book takes the subject from the late '80s

NEW YORK, May 16.—Willi Schwabe was nearly #0 when the Nazis confiscated his paper mill at Dresden, Germany, and tossed him out of the country just eight days before the United States entered the war. Today he is a farmer near Los Angeles. The four dollars he had when he arrived in the United States and the ambition of an old man who found new strength in his declining years to overcome adversity hes grown into a two-acre chicken farm with 500 chickens which supports his family. Ben, and Carrie Neuberger and their small children fled Mwnich and the small shop they owned there to
avoid-the Nazi fury. They reached the United States
with only $10. Although they had had no previous farming experience, they went to work and today own a thriving three-acre chicken ranch with 3500 birds at Fontana, Cal. Much of the credit for these and hundreds of other such cases must go.to the Jewish Agriculture society. The society, founded in the United States in 1900, was the dream of Baron Maurice de Hirsch, who felt that many Jews throughout the worid would be better off if they would return to the land from which they were driven during the Middle Ages. It is estimated that foundations established by Baron de Hirsch throughout the world have spent $100,000,000 on the project.
Society's Help Free
THE SOCIETY'S help and advice is free to all But it discourages many from attempting a farm life. The isolation and rigor of farm life, the fact that it is no easy road to riches, is impressed upon all who ask the society for aid.
Aviation
NEW YORK, May 16.-—-High speeds comparable to ‘that of the big overseas airliners and pressure cabins for flying comfort at all altitudes are in store for 1947 air passengers on the shorter hops to intermediate points. Speeds will range from 300 to 400 miles per hour and turbo-jet engines will power at least one of the two-engined “babies” now being produced. All are being planned for pressure cabins through which passengers will feel no difference in atmospheric conditions whether flying at 20,000 feet or 5000 feet. Persons who now cannot fly because of

= NEW YORK (Wednesday) —Sometimes I think it is very difficult for people really to grasp the details of anv kind of organization. . For, instance, at the United Nations meeting vesterdayy I was asked about a rumor that I had asked President Truman to relfeve me —of any further responsibility—of —serving with the human rights commission. That rumor shows that it is not understood that, if I were to ask to be relieved, I should have to ask the economic and social council, since they and not President Truman appointed me, Needless to say, that rumor had nd foundation in fact. On Monday evening, I spoke at the book and author night sponsored jointly by the New York Herald Tribune and the American Booksellers association, which is holding its first convention in three yeas. The theme of the evening was “One World or None”
Great Differences WHEN WENDELL WILLKIE gave us that phrase “one world,” he gave us an aspiration, but I am terribly afraid we will go to sleep believing that we actually have one world and will forget that, in order to make it a reality, we have vast areas to cover in which we have taken only the very figst steps. There are great differences between fhe people in -different parte of the world because of differences, in back‘ground and Jeipesienca.

The latest issue warns citizens against some annual spring frauds. One of.them is the old “humus” game. A trucker offers to cover your land with rich black “humus,” telling you it's only 50c or 5c a basket. When the job is done, he'll charge from $50 to $100 and you're stuck, because you can't prove how many baskets he's dumped there. Often, says the bulletin, the “humus” is waste material from chemical plant dumps and is injurious to lawns. . . . Another swindle is pulled by itinerant salesmen, who sell grass seed which will “grow to the desired. height, cease to grow, remain green and fresh and require no mowing.” Ridiculous, but many people bite. . . Fake repairmen, seed peddlers who want advance payménts, plant doctors, itinerant roofers and furnace repair men all are on the “Beware” list. In any case, it's wise to check the bureau or the companies| which itinergnts claim to represent before buying anything or authorizing any repairs, the bureau sug-| gests,
Jaycee ‘Railroading’ AFTER A POLITICAL campaign against ‘bossism,” it isn’t surprising to see similar trends popping up in civic group elections. At the Jaycee convention in Evansville recently, one man protested that a machine was “railroading” members into electing “organization” candidates. After the protest Jack Reich, Indianapolis, state president, did a little punning to the effect that in spite of the coal shortage, the Jaycee railroad was running on schedule. He | then introduced Dee Coe, Gary, the “machine man” who was elected president, as the new “chief engineer.” Incidentally, an Indianapolis Jaycee, Clifford Campbell, rode the caboose into the vice presidency.

THE DOCTOR SAYS: Beware of Inactivity

In my talk, I tried to point out some of the differences between the government of the U. 8S. 8.

The Russians have lived under their form of government only-25-years.—We-have-had-over-a—century-and-a-half in which gradually to change one thing after another and to correct some of our mistakes.

Once upon a time we. were pioneers, treading new paths, learning new ways, and being greeted, when any of us turned up in the old world, as strange and rather terrifying characters! Some of us have read some of the early diaries of travelers from the old world, who were not as famous as Charles Dickens but all of whom took us neatly apart because of our lack of airs and graces in those early days!: We think our way of dong things is a good way, and we have a right to believe in it until someone else proves to ‘us that their way is better.
