year job to do what he always
wanted to do—teach.
The 48 year old Cincinnatiun
quit aa executive vice president of
Clopay Corp. to study for a mas-
ters decree jn political science at
Columbia University. When he gets

teaching job which, if he ib lucky,
wilt pay between $5,000 and $6,000
a year.
"We've Rot enough money to see

long as my wife doesn't demand
ermine."

War On Insccto
LONDON <U.fi>—The dinasours
had their day, 60,000,000 years ago,
and fishes theirs, millions of years
before that. Mammals had a gold-
en age and today is the age of
tnan, the highest mammal.
Many seerB, professional and
otherwise, have predicted that the
next form of life to take over will
be the insects. Only man's intelli-
gence, so entomologists believe,
stands between the decline and fall
of mankind and the rise of bugs.
Dr. V. B. Wigglesworth of Cam-
bridge University, one of Britain's
outstanding ^nomologists, told a
BBC science survey .audience, re-
assuringly, that scientists are doing
their best to provide more efilcient
weapons in the strugif.e against
insects. The basic dement for
eventual success, he warned, is
knowledge.
"In the practical art of killing
insects," he said, "there comes a
time when we find thai our basic
capital of, knowledge i* exhausted.
It is the pun? sciences whir'- pro-
vide that working capital."
New fields of inquiry are being
opened up, Wigglesworth said.
"How does DDT kill? Why docs
it lose its action if there is a very
slight cange in its molecule? Car
we devise insecticides that kill our
insect enemies, but spare our
friends? Arc there any insiliru*
changes in the balance between
friends and foes as the result of
using insecticides over i period of
years?"
Those questions, he said, could
be answered only by research.

"TAKE CARE OF THE KID"—Lottie Burchess holds 6-months-old
Louis Weiner shortly after the child's father, Benjamin Weiner, 43,
former Lekpe mobster, was shot and killed by an unknown gunman.
The dyjng Weiner told neighbors, "take care of the kid". The bullet
narrowly missed the child, who was sleeping while Weiner was "baby
sitting". (NEA Telephoto)

Dry Kin Club
For Texas To Be
Organized
LUFKIN, Tex., <UJ?> —Dry kiln
operators, engineers and wood
technologists will meet here Jan.
23 to organize a dry kiln club for
Texas.
The club will seek through an
interchange of ideas to reduce
operating costs on production of
seasoned lumber of consistently
high quality.
E. D. Marshall will serve as host
for the group at the Lufkin for-
est products laboratory operated
by the Texas Forest Service, A.
& M. College.
Marshall points out that the
Texas Dry Kiln club'will be form-
ed primarily to aid industry at
the request of kiln managers and
operators.
They are alarmed by figures
which show that seasoning losses
amount to around eight percent of
the lumber and dimension manu-
factured—a total even greater
than that suffered by forest fire
damage. Improper kiln operation
and maintenance is plso too pre-
valent.
The first meeting will feature
gas kilns, a relatively new de-
velopment in the South. The
group will convene at 10 a. m.
Jan. 23, at the Lufkin laboratory,
then visit the new gas kiln at the
Angelina Hardwood Sales Com-
pany.
Mark M. Lehrbas, who has just
completed the collection of exten-
sive data on more than 100 gas
kilns in the South for the Southern
Experiment station, New Orleans,
will be the principal speaker in
the afternoon. An open discus-
sion of individual seasoning prob-
lems will then give those a chance
to exchange ideas.

Valuable Rain
Exeites Editor
MACKSVILLE Kan. <U.R>—Leigh
Abbey, country editor, snapped his
fingers at the newsprint shortage
und put out an extra edition of
his weekly Macksville Enterprise.
Why: it rained. And that was
news in the drouth-stricken Staf-
ford County.
Figuring he could skimp later on
to make up the raid on his news-
print stocks, Abbey rushed the
extra off the press less than 36
hours after the regular weekly
edition.
He used the biggest type he could
find to spread this farm cliche
across the top of the front page:
"Million Dollar Rain!"
Prayer and Quiet Advised
NEW YORK (U.R) — The city
would be quiter — and perhaps
better — if motorists followed the
suggestion of Dr. Norman Vincent
Peale in a sermon at the Marble
Collegiate Reformed Church. He
said fnat instead of honking their
horns while waiting for a traffic
light to charige, the taxicab driv-
ers, bus operators and motorists
should rest and pray.

Arab violence which killed two
Jews, wounded others and paralyz-
ed Haifa.
The attack, described as the
largest made by Jews in Haifa,
was carried, out with mortars,
automatic weapons and fire bombs.
Among the buildings destroyed
was a three-story house, alleged
to be the headquarters of the Arab
Youth organization.
Haganah headquarters said
other attacks were launched at a
dozen points along highways into
the port city in an effort to open
up transportation into the Jewish
section, closed since yesterday's
flareup of violence.

POLIO OR INFANTILE PAR-
alysip is still a national scourge.
Last year about ten thousand
Americana were stricken with this
affliction. That figure, while less
than half the one for 1946, was
above the average. In only eight
years.has the total been more. For
five straight yeara the toll of In-
fantile paralysis has been unus-
ually high. The re must be more
study of the tiny polio virus, more
research for means to combat its
attacks.
