When I boy comes back from over there, he feels like the world has lost or forgotten him. But a popular part of the pro gram which prepares him for the difficult life ahead is education. At Waller Reed there are 400 different subjects on both high school and college studies. The U.S. armed forces information program provides most of that.

The men of Columbia, facing final exams starting Monday, began to gather shortly after midnight on the campus quad rangle. As the crowd grew, so did its courage. Girls Give Come-On When their numbers reached 1,000, they swept across Broad way towards the fenced-in Bar nard campus, a part of Colum bia University, where their fem inine counterparts crowded to the windows of the three dorm itories waving flimsies for en couragement. Quickly gathered forces of police set up lines in front of the campus gates, and only 30 more venturesome Columbians made the dormitories.

Jfc-rrr Tf; w Vitamin B-12 Found In Solids of Sewage Chicago (U.R) Dr. Bernard Wolnak of the Milner Laborator ies, Chicago, reports that a high grade fertilizer made from the solids of sewage may have other uses. Milwaukee was a pioneer in developing the activated sludge process which changes sewage into fertilizer. Milwaukee sells 65,000 tons of fertilizer each year made by the process. It is shipped to all parts of the United States, Mexico and the Hawaiian Islands. Wolnak said recent experi ments showed that larg quan tities of vitamin B-12 were pres en in the dried sludge and a pro cess has been developed to iso late it from the rest of the sludge. He said that experiments have been made with portions of the sludge to step up the fermenta tion of yeast. In some cases, the fermentation time has been re duced from 10 to 20 per cent. "It is intriguing to speculate on the future of the sludge, Wolnak said. "We've found that it contains one unknown vitamin-like material and one known but scarce vitamin in large amounts, in addition to smaller amounts of many known vitamins. Perhaps the sludge will turn out to be the coal tar of the vitamins." money? That matter Is taken care of, loo. By the time the patient is on the "outside looking in at service hospital, the wheels are wheeling in a matter of 10 days or so. Many Interviews Ahead of that, though, he is interviewed by every possible person who could help him stack himself against the rest of socie ty in a normal way of life. It is a tedious sort of performance, but if the vet will follow instruc tions, not get mad, and fill out all the forms, he will come out a winner. He gets a lot of help in filling out the forms that the govern ment says is necessary. If he is smart he fills them out honestly. If he does not, the record as we say In Washington can come back to haunt him. It has happened. At the same time he is advised about his insurance benefits and discharge and benefit payments. After a man has been out risk ing life, limb and future for a little kid back home, that's the least the government can do. To see that his hurts are healed.

(International) Hillbilly Music Bringing Christianity to Marshalls Likiep Atoll, Marshall Islands (U.R) A New York City-born former military policeman is bringing Christianity to natives of this tiny atoll in the Central Pacific. He is doing it with the help of a violin and the lively rhythms of American hillbilly music. Michael Murray, Jesuit lay brother missionary, uses a simple formula: "You win their confidence with music," he said, "and by win ning their confidence you win their conversion and faith." Two or three nights a week Brother Murray gathers a chor us of Marshalese musicians in the palm-sheltered native village and leads them with his violin while they chord guitars and sing in English "You Are My Sunshine" and "Red River Valley."

See Your Electrical Contractor 'There are five guitars in the village," Brother Murray said. fall bought from an American mail-order house. They're traded around among the 10 or 15 native boys who can play them. There s also a piano accordion which two of the boys can play." Learned From Movies The boys bought the guitars and taught themselves to play after several of them saw Amer ican singing-cowboys in movies at Kwajalein, the navy's Cen tral Pacific stronghold 105 miles south of here. Usually, 15 or 20 natives col lect among the coconut palms and breadfruit trees to listen when Brother Murray and his hillbilly band give concerts on weekday nights, said the quiet spoken 37-year-old Catholic mis sionary. On Sunday nights the audience swells to 80 or 90 when Father John McCarthy, priest at the mission here, announces there will be music after serv ices. Unlike the Polynesians of Ha waii, whose music is often slow and nostalgic, the Micronesians of Likiep favor fast tempos. Have Their Favorites "You Are My Sunshine" is their favorite. Brother Murray said, followed by "Home on the Range." "Red River Valley," and 'My Darling Clementine." The. only number they like outside the hillbilly-cowboy cat egory is "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling." Brother Murray, during World War II was an Army M P. for four years, two of them spent in Italy. He entered the Jesuit order as a lay brother in 1946 and has been in the Pacific nearly two years. Besides the violin, Brother Murray plays the mandolin, ac cordion and Scottish bagpipes. He has ordered a set of bagpipes on "probation." He thinks the natives wll take quickly to the spirited fortissimo of Highland music. Reform Inmates Now Permitted To Smoke Frankfort, Ky. (U.R) The Kentucky general assembly has voted to permit youthful in mates at state house of reform to smoke, regardless of age. The legislature . repealed an old law which outlawed all smoking at the state institution at the request of welfare offic ials. The officials explained that the inmates have been "slipping around" and smoking in hide outs throughout the reforma tory, creating fire hazards. They said they preferred to let the boys smoke in supervised re-creatiorp-rooms rather than run the risk of fire.

U.R) A Cor nell university nutrition expert says Americans are eating less meat and annning km um than they were five years ago. Dr. Herrell DeGraff of Cor- nell's school of nutrition esti mated meat consumption averag- ed 17 pounds less per person in 1951 than in 1847. nm con sumption, he said, was down 70 pounds last year from the post war high in 1946. He told the annual conference of the Distiller's Feed Research council here that the nation's meat and milk supply are not keeping up with the population increase. "Meat prices in the butcher shops are reflecting not only the general inflation of our price level and the high purchasing power of consumers, but also the declining per capita supply," he said.

(U.R) A Pennsylvania State College pro fessor investigating feline taste buds says that Tabby may not be such a sour puss after all. Dr. Hubert W. Frings, an asso ciate professor of entomology, said it's a mistake to think that the family cat has no use for sweets. Dr. Frings. who has de voted research to the tastes of many animals, takes issue with a European scientist who report ed that the cat has no liking for sugar or sweet tasting food. Beverly Cox. a graduate stu dent, helped the professor cor ral 20 cats at the farm of her parents near Tyrone. Pa. They were plied with diluted milk, both with and without sugar. The kitties drank the sweetened milk and snubbed the other kind every time. Dr. Frings said he didn't use whole milk because the cats would lap it up too eagerly to tell whether the sugar made any difference. 9 IS YOUR LUCKY NUM BIR WATCH THIS NEWSPAPER FOR NEWS ABOUT THE BIGGEST FOOD SALE EVERI HEY MIPS!
