veterans can use in shopping at

should request the selling office to
deliver the books to the recipient.

HEAT BEACON The unique
heating device, above, is being
used in the Church of Santa
Maria Delle Grazie, in Milan.
Many of Italy's old churches
were built before the develop
ment of central heating, and are
uncomfortable on cold winter
days. The "heat beacon" houses
a container of bottled gas, and
plates at the top of the device
beam heat to all parts of the
. church as the plates revolve.
