Lessenberry To Speak
At Bus. Ed. Contest
A-Bomb Films Shown
In Recent Assembly
One of the outstanding authorities
in the United States in the* field of
tea ching typewriting, ' Dr. D. D. Lessenberry, direc tor of commercial
courses at the University of Pi t tsburgh , will be a featured speaker at
the sixteenth annual Business Education Contest to be held at the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
Sat u rday, May first. Dr. Lessenberry,
a former president of th e National
Business Teachers Assocfation , is a
past president of the Eastern Com mercial Teachers Association..
Will Give Demonstration
The noted author of numerous
textbooks and articles dealing with
the teaching of typewriting in the
colleges and secondary schools will
give a demonstration lesson and lecture on the "Techniques in Teaching
Typewriting" Saturday morning at
ten o'clock. Dr. Lessenberry is perhaps best known as a dynamic speaker and platform lecturer, although
his "Twentieth Century Typewriting"
is a standard textbook in American
secondary schools.
Will Renew Acquaintances Here
While in Bloomsburg, Dr. Lessenberry will renew personal acquaintances with members of the College
faculty as well as President Harvey
A. Andruss with whom he was associated at the United States Army
University at Shrivenham, England,
during World War II. The Pittsburgh
educator holds a degree of Master of
Arts from New York University and
earned his doctorate at Westminster
College.
Requests for information regarding
this year 's contests continue to indicate that the 1948 contest will be
the largest ever held at the College.
The implication s of atomic power,
the story of its development , and the
spectacular Bikini experiment— "Operations Crossroad" featured two motion pictures shown in th e college
assembly progra m on April 15 in
Carver Hall audito rium.
The films, brough t to the College
through the kindness of Mrs. Marion
T. Adams, chairman of th e Internation al Relations Group of the American Association of Uni versity Women
were enj oyed by the student body.
Prior to the showing of the pictures , Harold H. Lanterman , instructor in the Science Department of the
College, gave a short but informative
talk on the latest developments in
the field of atomic energy. Mr. Lanterman stated that few industrial uses
have been found by scientists wording in the field of 'nuclear fission because of innumerable difficulties of
control and application , but he indicated a bright fut ure for its use
in the field of medicine and the
treatment of disease.
Presiden t Harvey A. Andruss presided over brief devotional exercises
preceding Mr. Lanterman 's remarks.

Maroon and Gold Band
Presents Spring Concert
A stirring spring concert by the
Maroon & Gold Band of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College featured
a special late-afternoon program held
recently in the Carver Hall auditorium. The band , under the direction
of Charles H. Henrie , presented a
well-balanced program of popular
marches and semi-classical selections.
Opening the program with the
Alma Mater , the band played John
Phillip Sousa's famous "Washington
Post March." Shif ting quickly from
the martial music of the famous
bandmaster, the College bandsmen
gave an excellent interpretation of
Lavalee's "Bridal Rose Overture."
Trumpet solos were played by Luther
Jones, , Wilkes-Barre, and William
Hallock, Patchacogue, Long Island,
N.Y.
A new number for band , written
in the modern manner , was next presented as the Maroon and Gold musicians played "Autumn Nocturne"
by Josef Myrow. John Brown, HaiTisburg, played the clarinet solo that
featured the selection.
Striking up a martial rhythm
again , the band played R. B. Hall's
ivoll - loved "Officer of the Day
March ," and by way of striking contrast gave a splendid Interpretation
of "Pavanne " from the second movement of American Symphonette No.
2 by Morton Gould.
Two marches, "American Loglon

Two Million Jobs Available
For Students During Summer
Last year a national young man 's
magazine surveyed the summer job
fi eld , and predicted that one million
vacation-time positions would be filled by students. A recently-published
government census revealed that the
actual figure came to .about 1,001,900.
This year that same magazine—
Varsity—has surveyed the field again ,
and predicts that twice as many jobs
will be available during the summer
months of '48.
In an article that tells how and
Where to get these jobs, Varsity splits
the vacation employment field into
seven categories: self - employment ,
governmental work, transportation ,
sports and entertainment , summer
camps, industry, and service and
trades.
According to the article in the current issue, the first two job categories offer some of the best opportunities in summer work. Jobs are open
in three branches of the Department
of the Interior — in the Geological
Survey division (fo r field assistants) ;
in the Fish and Wildlife Service (as
refuge and hatchery laborers) ; and
in the Bureau of Reclamation ( for
engineering aids, survey aids, draftsmen and soil specialists. ) Numerous
other positions are ot>en in the Na-
GOING STRAIGHT
One of the most astonishing facts from the 1947 traffic accident
recor d is this: more than 80 per cent of automobiles involved in fatal
accidents last year were going straig ht ahead. One out of each five
of the faulty motorists was turning , backing, skidding, stoppin g or
stoppe d when the death-dealing crash came. The other four were
going straig ht.
The reason is the false sen se of security most drivers assume
on t he straig htaway. If they are turning rig ht or left , they are alert
for obvious hazards. If they are backing up, they are likel y to proceed with caution . If they are preparing to stop, they drive with the
care experien ce has taug ht them is indicated .
But when they shift into hig h gear with the expectation of
driving a few consecutive blocks or a few consecutive miles in the I
sa me d ire c tion , they also shift into a careless frame of mind . Dri ving I
becomes almost automatic and they relax. The relative monotony of
t his type of driving has an almost soporific effect, Under these con- I
d itions t h ey become the target for many dangers — -a blowout , an

THOUGHTS WHILE READING THOMAS WOLFE
Robert A. Baylor
He was a bi g man and he knew it.
Each time he entered a room
He could do nothing but submit
To the stares and boom
Of silence , which wore his spirit
Like a knell of doom.
Yes, he was a big man ,
Big in stature and in mind ,
A self-trained artisan
Who was never blind ,
As his webs he spun ,
To the weaknesses of his kind .
He was a big man with a true feeling
Of kindness , yet firmness
For all of his fellow beings.
Althoug h upon their feelings he would transgress;
His artist 's mind seeing
Them as merel y men for chess,
He was a big man who was hurt
By the letters from a thousand foes ,
Who could do nothing but blurt
Out their bitter pathos
Against the man whose curt
Pen had exposed their self-made woes,
. He was a big man , the Uke of whom
Has not been seen under present sk y,
His words swept things aside like a new broom

Huskies Win Over Shippers
In Wild and Woolly Game
Although leading much of the way,
the Husky nine was forced to rally
in the last half of the ninth inning to
beat Shippensburg State Teachers
College, 9-8, on Mt. Olympus last
Wednesday.
It was a repetition of last year's
game here between the Maroon and
Gold and the Shippers, only this time
Bloomsburg came out on the long
end while last year it was the Red
Raiders. Both games ended in 9-8
margins.
John Czerniakowski slapped a single to right field with two on base,
Thomas counting with the tie-breaking tally. This was the climax to a
loosely played ball game in which a
total of 15 errors was committed,
seven by Bloomsburg and eight by

Shippensburg.
That stunning reversal which our
track squad suffered at Shippensburg
last week rather took some of the
wind out of the Husky sails; but
there is no reason to doubt that the
fellows representing the Maroon and
Gold aren't a worthy crew. Before
passing judgment on the Huskies, it
must be taken into consideration that
Shippensburg placed two new records
( for that school) in the books and
came close to record breaking performances in three other events. So,
it can easily be understood why the
Huskies came out second best in the
meet. Some consolation might be had
in the knowledge that we finished in
front of Millersville, the other school
competing in the triangular meet.

The Husky baseball and track teams remain it dark horse so far as their
prospective performances are concerned for the* rest of the busy spring
schedule. After some loose play at Millersville last Saturday in which the
Millers scored four unearned runs to win , t he Re d man cr ew came h ome to
meet a powerful Shippensburg nine on Wednesday, determined that such
demonstration would not be repeated. Added to that defeat at the hands of
Millersville came the report that pitcher Mike ' Evans was flirting with
appendicitis. If Evans is lost to the team, it will be a severe blow. His five
hit jab last Saturday was an outstanding piece of work.
After playing at East Stroudsburg today, the Huskies find themselves
with three games next week. Lock Haven visits Mt. Olympus on Monday
to play a game ori ginally scheduled for April 14. Mansfield State is here
on Wednesday, and the Maroon and Gold diamondmen play King 's College in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. This will mean an unusual load on
the pitching stall" with four, games in eight days. If Evans is not able
to take Ms regular turn on the mound (and this appeared highly improbable at press time), the Huskies are going to be drastically short
of pitchers.
When the Husky track and field team wa§ soundly trounced in that
triangular meet at Shippensburg, there were many who said that this would
be one of the poorest track seasons in history. Such was not and will not
be the case. Not feeling very happy over the state of affairs at Shippensburg,
the Wishermen returned home more determined than ever that things would
be different from here on in. Their showing against the Tommies of Scranton University proves that. This was not only a victory but it was somewhat
overwhelming.
Blackwell keeps every ball low. Hij * motion is such that he is able
to start the ball from his chest, then fling it behind him, and throw a
side arm ball which continuously hampers the batter. Many have said

he should get by with a tew victories. Another thing to remember is

Marge and Spike
Washington — Spike Jones had a
new soloist with his band when he
played at a special White House correspondents ' din ner at the Statler
hotel , the surprise chirper being the
guest of honor 's daughter , Margaret
lYuman. The President was surprised to no end when, in th e middle of
the mel ee, his da ughter walked on
the stage and sang thre e numbers.
However , there were no gun shots,
air raid sirens or doves flying out of
hats. Margaret T. gave it the straight
rou tin e, accompanied by a tuxedoed
pianist, and the Slickers played it the
same way while Spike retired to the
shadows.
Following the performance, Spike
presented the President with a gold
spike, his own gift, whereupon Mr.
Truman remarked "this ought to nail
down many rumors."
Diggln' the Discs
"After You 've Gone" and "Dark
Eyes" by Gene Krupa. These are
both reissues of notable Krupa wax ;
the first, Roy Eldridge's perenni al
get-off and the second , the best
known trio side, which is mostly the
tenoring of Charlie Ventura. Roy 's
"After " although made a number of
years after his old VocaJion of the
same tune , and with infinitely better
support from the "hard *riding Krupa
gang, is not inspired a performance
as the original. However, it's still
Eldridge and exciting Eldridge with
many a fluent moment. Ventura 's
much played "Eyes," which needs reviewing about as much as Kenton
needs Carmen , still sounds rich in
ideas and execution despite a tame
piano . . . "It Was Written In The
Stars" and "What' s Good About
Goodbye" by Art Lund. Lund is sing-
ing practically nothing but ballads
these days and from this corner , at
least , it makes sense , for he 's far
better a swooner th an he ever was a
rhythm singer.
"Tonight You Belong To Me" and
"Hey, Stop Kissing My Sister" by
Viola Watkins. Miss Watkins sings
like Nellie Lutcher, scats along with
her own piano solo like Nellie and
has the - same type of light rhythm
backgrounds as the Capital gal does.
Only she doesn 't do any of these
things as well. If you 're a Lutcher
fan and don 't mind carbon copies
then get it. Art Mooney's "Baby
Face" is the inevitable follow up of
"Four Leaf Clover" and will probably, like its predecessor, t u rn ou t to
be popular j uke box and disc jockey
fare. It follows the identical pattern
of "Clover" replete with bells, banjo
and band vocal.
This and That
Louis Prima is auditioning vocalists to replace Cathy Allen, wife of
singer Dick Merrick, who is going to
become a mama ( Cathy, not Dick,
that is) — Elliot Lawrence's younger
brother Stan has his own disc program over the Yale university station
—Buddy Rich is still appearing in his
band despite his broken left wing,
which he broke playing handball—
Guitarist Les Paul is expected to be
bedridden for quite some time, due
to an automobile accident — Rumor
has it that Gene Krupa and Chax'lie

to form a trio to do some waxing—

In addition to all the rain out-ofdoors last week, there was a "shower" in the dining room Thursday
night. But unlike its .gloomy namesak e, the surprise shower for Mary
Moser rained nothing but lovely gifts,
cheery wishes, and delicious food.
Featured in the latter category was
a beautiful three layer cake. String
from the many gifts was tied in the
traditional manner and wound around
the group to determine which lucky
girl would marry next — the cord
ended with Lois Lange. Have you
been keeping something from us,
Lois? Anyway, the shower was a
huge success and Mary says she was
never so surprised in her life.
Congratulations and best wishes to
Dawn Swartz Hippman and Robert
Hippman who were married last Saturday.
The mystery has been solved ! Second floor was in an uproar for several weeks trying to help B. J. Anella
figure out who the j okester or rather
"secret admirer " was, who mailed a
deer head to her (also a rug to
match). We won't mention any
names, of course, but the fellow's
initials are Ray Hubler! The deer
is now the darling of second floor.
B. J. donated him to the smoker
where he was officially christened
"Smoke." (I can't imagine why.)
However, B. J. is still mystified as
to the origin of four rather aged
oranges, a couple of old dishes, a
chocolate Easter bunny and a slightly
"used" oil painting—of which arrived
later in the week. Who dunnit!
I hear that Gretchen Trobach's
mother gave Gretch a beautiful diamond for her birthday.

Teachers and public school administrators and supervisors from three
counties attended a special meeting
held at the College on Monday evening , April 19th, at 7:30 o'clock.. The
speaker, Miss Gladys Fish, State Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, discussed the problems of
speech and hearing in the public
schools.
Miss Fish is a well-known expert
in the field of special education for
exceptional children, and her talk
was helpful and interesting to all
those who are now teaching in the
public schools, or who are planning
to teach. A large number of teachers
from Columbia, Northumberland , and
Montour counties attended the meeting, which was sponsored by the
Alpha Chapter of ,the Organization
of Teachers of Exceptional Children.

with bridesmaids and everything. Remember, April 30 — see you there.
Another important date to remember is the Junior Prom on the 8th of

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS !
This week we consider the benefit s
and privileges given to the Pennsylvania veteran and his family. These
rights are in .addition to those of the
Federal Government.
To be eligible for benefits provided
by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania , the veteran must be a legal
resident of this state and have served
at least 60 days.
These are your benefits :
1. World War II State Bonus—A
bonus proposal has been adopted by
the State Legislature at its 1947
session , but must be approved by the
next legislature (1948) before it can
be submitted to the people for ratifi cation. This bill provides $10 per
mon,th for domestic service and $15
per month for overseas service between December 7, 1941 and September 2, 1945, unless the veteran was in
service on V.J. Day. In th at case, the
time is extended to March 2, 1946 ,
but the maximum total may not exceed $500. A full $500 will be paid
the next of kin of those who died in
the service. The bonus, even when it
does be com e law , will not be payable
until , 1950, and July 1, 1950 is set as
the tentative deadline for filing applications.
2. Employment Preference—Credit
for World War II service is given in
some apprenticeship such as barbering. 10 points credit is added to score
made on tests taken to j oin State
Police Force. In case of Civil Sen ice,
and state jobs, 5 and 10 poin t s of
credit are given. In cases of retirement and seniority credit and preference is given to the veterans.
3. Tax Exemptions — none except
those relation to men who were in
the service and for a limited time
after their discharge.
* 4. Relief—A biennial appropriation
of $1,500,000 is granted for the purpose of aiding veterans who for any
reason need temporary or emergency
relief. This is handled through the
State Veteran 's Commission, and application can h(0 made , thr ou gh th e
country directors of Veterans ' Affairs, and American Legion Posts
which provides quickest service.
5. Service Agencies — There are
two agencies that handle the Veterans affairs. One is the legion service
agency finan'ced by the American
Legion. The address is Homer D.
Sarge , Director of Rehabilitation
American Legion
1825 N. Front Street
Harrlsburg, Pa.
The other agency is the State Service Agency maintained by the State
and headed by General Weber and
three service officers . The address:

In Recent Assembly
One of the outstanding authorities
in the United States in the* field of
tea ching typewriting, ' Dr. D. D. Lessenberry, direc tor of commercial
courses at the University of Pi t tsburgh , will be a featured speaker at
the sixteenth annual Business Education Contest to be held at the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
Sat u rday, May first. Dr. Lessenberry,
a former president of th e National
Business Teachers Assocfation , is a
past president of the Eastern Com mercial Teachers Association..
Will Give Demonstration
The noted author of numerous
textbooks and articles dealing with
the teaching of typewriting in the
colleges and secondary schools will
give a demonstration lesson and lecture on the "Techniques in Teaching
Typewriting" Saturday morning at
ten o'clock. Dr. Lessenberry is perhaps best known as a dynamic speaker and platform lecturer, although
his "Twentieth Century Typewriting"
is a standard textbook in American
secondary schools.
Will Renew Acquaintances Here
While in Bloomsburg, Dr. Lessenberry will renew personal acquaintances with members of the College
faculty as well as President Harvey
A. Andruss with whom he was associated at the United States Army
University at Shrivenham, England,
during World War II. The Pittsburgh
educator holds a degree of Master of
Arts from New York University and
earned his doctorate at Westminster
College.
Requests for information regarding
this year 's contests continue to indicate that the 1948 contest will be
the largest ever held at the College.

control and application , but he indicated a bright fut ure for its use
in the field of medicine and the

Maroon and Gold Band
Presents Spring Concert
A stirring spring concert by the
Maroon & Gold Band of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College featured
a special late-afternoon program held
recently in the Carver Hall auditorium. The band , under the direction
of Charles H. Henrie , presented a
well-balanced program of popular
marches and semi-classical selections.
Opening the program with the
Alma Mater , the band played John
Phillip Sousa's famous "Washington
Post March." Shif ting quickly from
the martial music of the famous
bandmaster, the College bandsmen
gave an excellent interpretation of
Lavalee's "Bridal Rose Overture."
Trumpet solos were played by Luther
Jones, , Wilkes-Barre, and William
Hallock, Patchacogue, Long Island,
N.Y.
A new number for band , written
in the modern manner , was next presented as the Maroon and Gold musicians played "Autumn Nocturne"
by Josef Myrow. John Brown, HaiTisburg, played the clarinet solo that
featured the selection.
Striking up a martial rhythm
again , the band played R. B. Hall's
ivoll - loved "Officer of the Day
March ," and by way of striking contrast gave a splendid Interpretation
of "Pavanne " from the second movement of American Symphonette No.
2 by Morton Gould.
Two marches, "American Loglon

Two Million Jobs Available
For Students During Summer
Last year a national young man 's
magazine surveyed the summer job
fi eld , and predicted that one million
vacation-time positions would be filled by students. A recently-published
government census revealed that the
actual figure came to .about 1,001,900.
This year that same magazine—
Varsity—has surveyed the field again ,
and predicts that twice as many jobs
will be available during the summer
months of '48.
In an article that tells how and
Where to get these jobs, Varsity splits
the vacation employment field into
seven categories: self - employment ,
governmental work, transportation ,
sports and entertainment , summer
camps, industry, and service and
trades.
According to the article in the current issue, the first two job categories offer some of the best opportunities in summer work. Jobs are open
in three branches of the Department
of the Interior — in the Geological
Survey division (fo r field assistants) ;
in the Fish and Wildlife Service (as
refuge and hatchery laborers) ; and
in the Bureau of Reclamation ( for
engineering aids, survey aids, draftsmen and soil specialists. ) Numerous
other positions are ot>en in the Na-
GOING STRAIGHT
One of the most astonishing facts from the 1947 traffic accident
recor d is this: more than 80 per cent of automobiles involved in fatal
accidents last year were going straig ht ahead. One out of each five
of the faulty motorists was turning , backing, skidding, stoppin g or
stoppe d when the death-dealing crash came. The other four were
going straig ht.
The reason is the false sen se of security most drivers assume
on t he straig htaway. If they are turning rig ht or left , they are alert
for obvious hazards. If they are backing up, they are likel y to proceed with caution . If they are preparing to stop, they drive with the
care experien ce has taug ht them is indicated .
But when they shift into hig h gear with the expectation of
driving a few consecutive blocks or a few consecutive miles in the I
sa me d ire c tion , they also shift into a careless frame of mind . Dri ving I
becomes almost automatic and they relax. The relative monotony of

THOUGHTS WHILE READING THOMAS WOLFE
Robert A. Baylor
He was a bi g man and he knew it.
Each time he entered a room
He could do nothing but submit
To the stares and boom
Of silence , which wore his spirit
Like a knell of doom.
Yes, he was a big man ,
Big in stature and in mind ,
A self-trained artisan
Who was never blind ,
As his webs he spun ,
To the weaknesses of his kind .
He was a big man with a true feeling
Of kindness , yet firmness
For all of his fellow beings.
Althoug h upon their feelings he would transgress;
His artist 's mind seeing
Them as merel y men for chess,
He was a big man who was hurt
By the letters from a thousand foes ,
Who could do nothing but blurt
Out their bitter pathos
Against the man whose curt
Pen had exposed their self-made woes,
. He was a big man , the Uke of whom
Has not been seen under present sk y,
His words swept things aside like a new broom

Huskies Win Over Shippers
In Wild and Woolly Game
Although leading much of the way,
the Husky nine was forced to rally
in the last half of the ninth inning to
beat Shippensburg State Teachers
College, 9-8, on Mt. Olympus last
Wednesday.
It was a repetition of last year's
game here between the Maroon and
Gold and the Shippers, only this time
Bloomsburg came out on the long
end while last year it was the Red
Raiders. Both games ended in 9-8
margins.
John Czerniakowski slapped a single to right field with two on base,
Thomas counting with the tie-breaking tally. This was the climax to a
loosely played ball game in which a
total of 15 errors was committed,
seven by Bloomsburg and eight by

Shippensburg.
That stunning reversal which our
track squad suffered at Shippensburg
last week rather took some of the
wind out of the Husky sails; but
there is no reason to doubt that the
fellows representing the Maroon and
Gold aren't a worthy crew. Before
passing judgment on the Huskies, it
must be taken into consideration that
Shippensburg placed two new records
( for that school) in the books and
came close to record breaking performances in three other events. So,
it can easily be understood why the
Huskies came out second best in the
meet. Some consolation might be had
in the knowledge that we finished in
front of Millersville, the other school
competing in the triangular meet.

The Husky baseball and track teams remain it dark horse so far as their
prospective performances are concerned for the* rest of the busy spring
schedule. After some loose play at Millersville last Saturday in which the
Millers scored four unearned runs to win , t he Re d man cr ew came h ome to
meet a powerful Shippensburg nine on Wednesday, determined that such
demonstration would not be repeated. Added to that defeat at the hands of
Millersville came the report that pitcher Mike ' Evans was flirting with
appendicitis. If Evans is lost to the team, it will be a severe blow. His five
hit jab last Saturday was an outstanding piece of work.
After playing at East Stroudsburg today, the Huskies find themselves
with three games next week. Lock Haven visits Mt. Olympus on Monday
to play a game ori ginally scheduled for April 14. Mansfield State is here
on Wednesday, and the Maroon and Gold diamondmen play King 's College in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. This will mean an unusual load on
the pitching stall" with four, games in eight days. If Evans is not able
to take Ms regular turn on the mound (and this appeared highly improbable at press time), the Huskies are going to be drastically short
of pitchers.
When the Husky track and field team wa§ soundly trounced in that
triangular meet at Shippensburg, there were many who said that this would
be one of the poorest track seasons in history. Such was not and will not
be the case. Not feeling very happy over the state of affairs at Shippensburg,
the Wishermen returned home more determined than ever that things would
be different from here on in. Their showing against the Tommies of Scranton University proves that. This was not only a victory but it was somewhat
overwhelming.
Blackwell keeps every ball low. Hij * motion is such that he is able
to start the ball from his chest, then fling it behind him, and throw a
side arm ball which continuously hampers the batter. Many have said
that he won't last long the way he throws. That is a matter of conjecture, but if he is able to throw only half as effective as he is now,
he should get by with a tew victories. Another thing to remember is
that Blackie wasn't pitching with a first division club last year.
This boy, Lindenberg, looks like a comer. He has had little or no experience in the high hurdles, but the manner in which he easily captured
that event against Scranton shows that he has great possibilities. We might

the Red Raiders entered droves of men in every event. Although the Huskies
are weak i n the j aveli n t h row, pole vault , and broad jump, t h ey are more

Shippensburg, by the way, entered the sixth Southern invitational
meet held recently at the University of North Carolina and returned
with a ninth place claim in n field dotted with entries from big schools
all over the south and middle Atlantic states. Ed Utz captured second
place In the 100 yard dash. Dick Stouft'er placed third in the half mile
competition ; Barnes seventh in the two mile run ; Duerr ninth In the
mile and Wood tenth in the freshmen mile. During the winter, Steve
tlatfield copped second honors in the pole vaulting event at the Philadelphia Inquirer Invitation Meet. Utz placed third in the 60 yard dash.

With the diagnosis thus made, corrective measures are now in order.
Cousin must be rehabilitated socially.

Marge and Spike
Washington — Spike Jones had a
new soloist with his band when he
played at a special White House correspondents ' din ner at the Statler
hotel , the surprise chirper being the
guest of honor 's daughter , Margaret
lYuman. The President was surprised to no end when, in th e middle of
the mel ee, his da ughter walked on
the stage and sang thre e numbers.
However , there were no gun shots,
air raid sirens or doves flying out of
hats. Margaret T. gave it the straight
rou tin e, accompanied by a tuxedoed
pianist, and the Slickers played it the
same way while Spike retired to the
shadows.
Following the performance, Spike
presented the President with a gold
spike, his own gift, whereupon Mr.
Truman remarked "this ought to nail
down many rumors."
Diggln' the Discs
"After You 've Gone" and "Dark
Eyes" by Gene Krupa. These are
both reissues of notable Krupa wax ;
the first, Roy Eldridge's perenni al
get-off and the second , the best
known trio side, which is mostly the
tenoring of Charlie Ventura. Roy 's
"After " although made a number of
years after his old VocaJion of the
same tune , and with infinitely better
support from the "hard *riding Krupa
gang, is not inspired a performance
as the original. However, it's still
Eldridge and exciting Eldridge with
many a fluent moment. Ventura 's
much played "Eyes," which needs reviewing about as much as Kenton
needs Carmen , still sounds rich in
ideas and execution despite a tame
piano . . . "It Was Written In The
Stars" and "What' s Good About
Goodbye" by Art Lund. Lund is sing-
ing practically nothing but ballads
these days and from this corner , at
least , it makes sense , for he 's far
better a swooner th an he ever was a
rhythm singer.
"Tonight You Belong To Me" and
"Hey, Stop Kissing My Sister" by
Viola Watkins. Miss Watkins sings
like Nellie Lutcher, scats along with
her own piano solo like Nellie and
has the - same type of light rhythm
backgrounds as the Capital gal does.
Only she doesn 't do any of these
things as well. If you 're a Lutcher
fan and don 't mind carbon copies
then get it. Art Mooney's "Baby
Face" is the inevitable follow up of
"Four Leaf Clover" and will probably, like its predecessor, t u rn ou t to
be popular j uke box and disc jockey
fare. It follows the identical pattern
of "Clover" replete with bells, banjo
and band vocal.
This and That
Louis Prima is auditioning vocalists to replace Cathy Allen, wife of
singer Dick Merrick, who is going to
become a mama ( Cathy, not Dick,
that is) — Elliot Lawrence's younger
brother Stan has his own disc program over the Yale university station
—Buddy Rich is still appearing in his
band despite his broken left wing,
which he broke playing handball—
Guitarist Les Paul is expected to be
bedridden for quite some time, due
to an automobile accident — Rumor
has it that Gene Krupa and Chax'lie
Ventura will drop their own bands
to form a trio to do some waxing—
sure would like to hear those two
stump one out together again — Incidentally, the King has taken a

In addition to all the rain out-ofdoors last week, there was a "shower" in the dining room Thursday
night. But unlike its .gloomy namesak e, the surprise shower for Mary
Moser rained nothing but lovely gifts,
cheery wishes, and delicious food.
Featured in the latter category was
a beautiful three layer cake. String
from the many gifts was tied in the
traditional manner and wound around
the group to determine which lucky
girl would marry next — the cord
ended with Lois Lange. Have you
been keeping something from us,
Lois? Anyway, the shower was a
huge success and Mary says she was
never so surprised in her life.
Congratulations and best wishes to
Dawn Swartz Hippman and Robert
Hippman who were married last Saturday.
The mystery has been solved ! Second floor was in an uproar for several weeks trying to help B. J. Anella
figure out who the j okester or rather
"secret admirer " was, who mailed a
deer head to her (also a rug to
match). We won't mention any
names, of course, but the fellow's
initials are Ray Hubler! The deer
is now the darling of second floor.
B. J. donated him to the smoker
where he was officially christened
"Smoke." (I can't imagine why.)
However, B. J. is still mystified as
to the origin of four rather aged
oranges, a couple of old dishes, a
chocolate Easter bunny and a slightly
"used" oil painting—of which arrived
later in the week. Who dunnit!
I hear that Gretchen Trobach's
mother gave Gretch a beautiful diamond for her birthday.
Sunday evening, t h e Methodist
Youth Fellowship served ice cream
and cake to the visiting Acappella

Members of Mr. Ream's History of
Pennsylvania class report having a
wonderful time on their recen t trip

Teachers and public school administrators and supervisors from three
counties attended a special meeting
held at the College on Monday evening , April 19th, at 7:30 o'clock.. The
speaker, Miss Gladys Fish, State Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, discussed the problems of
speech and hearing in the public
schools.
Miss Fish is a well-known expert
in the field of special education for
exceptional children, and her talk
was helpful and interesting to all
those who are now teaching in the
public schools, or who are planning
to teach. A large number of teachers
from Columbia, Northumberland , and
Montour counties attended the meeting, which was sponsored by the
Alpha Chapter of ,the Organization
of Teachers of Exceptional Children.

The party will leave from long porch

to bring one guest. For further information see Francis Cerchiaro.
The Fashion Show is only a week
away. From what I hear, it will be
even bigger and better than last
year 's. Among the features is a Helen
Harper bridal ensemble — complete
with bridesmaids and everything. Remember, April 30 — see you there.
Another important date to remember is the Junior Prom on the 8th of

decorations by Al Zimmerman, fun
for all who attend !
The dining room crew surprised
Miss Thayer with a belated birthday

her birthday). Refreshments were
served by the participants. Entertainment consisted of dancing and
singing. Doris Thomas, Jane Brobst

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS !
This week we consider the benefit s
and privileges given to the Pennsylvania veteran and his family. These
rights are in .addition to those of the
Federal Government.
To be eligible for benefits provided
by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania , the veteran must be a legal
resident of this state and have served
at least 60 days.
These are your benefits :
1. World War II State Bonus—A
bonus proposal has been adopted by
the State Legislature at its 1947
session , but must be approved by the
next legislature (1948) before it can
be submitted to the people for ratifi cation. This bill provides $10 per
mon,th for domestic service and $15
per month for overseas service between December 7, 1941 and September 2, 1945, unless the veteran was in
service on V.J. Day. In th at case, the
time is extended to March 2, 1946 ,
but the maximum total may not exceed $500. A full $500 will be paid
the next of kin of those who died in
the service. The bonus, even when it
does be com e law , will not be payable
until , 1950, and July 1, 1950 is set as
the tentative deadline for filing applications.
2. Employment Preference—Credit
for World War II service is given in
some apprenticeship such as barbering. 10 points credit is added to score
made on tests taken to j oin State
Police Force. In case of Civil Sen ice,
and state jobs, 5 and 10 poin t s of
credit are given. In cases of retirement and seniority credit and preference is given to the veterans.
3. Tax Exemptions — none except
those relation to men who were in
the service and for a limited time
after their discharge.
* 4. Relief—A biennial appropriation
of $1,500,000 is granted for the purpose of aiding veterans who for any
reason need temporary or emergency
relief. This is handled through the
State Veteran 's Commission, and application can h(0 made , thr ou gh th e
country directors of Veterans ' Affairs, and American Legion Posts
which provides quickest service.
5. Service Agencies — There are
two agencies that handle the Veterans affairs. One is the legion service
agency finan'ced by the American
Legion. The address is Homer D.
Sarge , Director of Rehabilitation
American Legion
1825 N. Front Street
Harrlsburg, Pa.
The other agency is the State Service Agency maintained by the State
and headed by General Weber and
three service officers . The address:
