'Character Inventory’ Urged At Least Once Every Year
By RUTH MILLETT ONCE A YEAR at least every woman ought to sit down and interview herself. Since no one else ever needs
to know the answers she gives her self-asked questions,
she can be perfectly honest. A few of the questions she might do well to ask herself are: During the last year have I grown in any way as a person, in understanding of myself and others, in tolerance, in capability, in knowledge, in selfreliance? ® How do I stand with those I love? Have I been meeting the needs of my husband, children, parents and close friends? Or have I been drifting along, counting on their love and respect without doing much to earn it? Am I better at my job—whether it is homemaking or a career—than I was this time last year? Or have I just been marking time, figuring that there is no need for improvement? Am I really enjoying life, doing a fair number of the things that give me pleasure? Or am I still putting off doing the things I really would like to do? - » “ ” . ” . AM I facing up to problems as they come along? Or do I run from them or kid myself that they are all someone else’s fault and that there is really nothing much I can do about them? Do T know what I want out of life and have at least one ambition for the future that I am working toward? Have I made any new friends lately? Or does my list of friends decrease with the passing years instead of increasing?

Exuberant Praise
By PATRICIA CLARY HOLLYWOOD, Mar. 10-—Bob-by-soxers are better than ever, a movie producer reports. Stanley Kramer showed his long-hair epic, “Cyrano de Bergerac,” to couple of hundred New York adolescents. They were so entranced they forgot their pop“Although I hadn't eaten since the third period in school,” one juvenile critic reported, ‘the brilllant acting, plot and humor of the picture made me forget my hunger and sit back and enjoy myself.” “At most pictures I am the most fidgety person in the audience,” another girl said. “However, I was so completely transfixed by ‘Cyrano’ I-even forgot it was time to eat.”

One boy, named Ronnie, said fie ‘knew he would have to-try very hard to be objective .about a picture which had had so much publicity. ' “I am trying to be objective,” he concluded, “when I say it is the finest picture I have ever seen.” “After seeing such a fine film I do not wish to find any fault with it,” commented 14-year-old Henel M. “Fine films are very scarce nowadays.”

Hoosier Profile By Tom Hicks
| THE STORY of police radio in the United States and the story of Bob Batts are one and the same. They can’t be separated. They grew up together. ; Capt, Batts (it's Robert L., but Cap or Bob will do fine) is head of the Indianapolis Police Department's communication division. : Sr He designed and helped build most of the equipment. for KSA-318, the police radio. The station has frequently been called the “best in the world.” That “Capt. Batts thinks it's the best is not hard to understand. It's his life, Surrounded by four or five miles of wire, tubes, amplifiers and microphones, he talks radio with the energy of a math teacher explaining multiplication. Born in Anderson, Capt. Batts studied radio at Purdue University for three years. LE AN OFFER from the Detroit police force took him to the auto city to help set up the first police radio system in the United States. It began operation on Apr, 7; 1928. Capt. Batts then came to Indianapolis on a six months’ leave of absence in 1929. He smiles and says “he just never made it back to Detroit.” When the six months were over, Detroit asked him gently to come back and threw in a caution that if he didn’t come back immediately, he'd lose his job. Detroit lost a good radio man. Indianapolis gained one. Indianapolis became the third city in the world to have a police ‘radio station on Christ mas Eve, 1929. Cleveland went ‘on the air in September of that year. < *
