John Shaw B illin g s, who served as a surgeon d u r ing the C ivil War, suggested to the U.S. Census Bureau, just p rio r to the 1880 count, that various data might be re corded on a single card o r slip of paper by punching small holes on lt.

W e now have a new inven tion, a vacuum cleaner-1 ike device known as tlie "people s n iffe r." Two such " s n iffe r s " are being used by the 3rd Brigade of the 9th Infantry Division with great success.The device scoops up and analyzes a ir samples. If anyone has been in tlie area recently, a te ll-ta le trace of body odor causes a meter on the machine to flu t te r. T he machine, whichdoes not react to animal odors, w ill register gases given oft by a campfire even if it is several days old. The readings not onjy pinpoint the enemy’ s lo cation, tu t also give a rough estimate of the number of per sons involved. QUESTION F or how long a period does a person have to e n list to be guaranteed training in a pa rti cular field? Usually fo r three years, though some programs which require extensive training call for a four year enlistment.

"T h e fact is the Presslent has engaged big business In a pillow fight, while he blud geons working people anti the p o o r," McGovern said. "N ixo n 's economic manipu lators have taken up to $1000 a year in negotiated wage boosts away from the working man ant woman on the West Coast. Yet corporate profits. Including monopoly profits. Continue mounting with no In terruption at a ll. "C orporate shareholders usually don't have m u c h trouble stretching tfteir in come past tire check-out coun te r. Hut working people do.
