So when the plane arrived in Naples, it was met by a big car, populated in the back seat by Aunt Filomina and an interpre ter. . a Out stepped Col. Breeskin in all of his splendor. He was point ed out Aunt Filomena, who rushed him and planted a wet, auntly smacker on his mouth. She inspected him. and said, through her interpreter, "My, I didn't expect to meet the assist ant President of the United States." It was that way all through the trip the red carpet treat ment for Barnee and his boys. The versatile Barnee recipro cated. Every time he came upon a piano, he sat down and hon ored his hosts with some Italian folk songs he had practiced be fore he left. Kids Get Along Of the international group of cadets, Barnee said: "It was wonderful to see these kids gather from all those lands in harmony in a single dormi tory. They couldn't understand each other. But they got along. We had several youngsters who could play the piano. That ought to prove that music is the inter national language." All of those young men from all over were "hep" on aeronau tics. The get together in Italy was for the purpose of pointing up the importance of the flying machine in the allied scheme of things. Groceteria President Publishes Article An article by W. A. Gates, president of the Groceteria Super-Food market, appeared in a recent issue of Printer's Ink, the weekly magazine of advertising, management and sales. The article, entitled "A Self Service Retailer Speaks Out," including what he looks for in packages, why he dislikes cou pons, how to interest him in na tional advertising, was provok ed by an earlier article in Print ers Ink that sought to analyze the new retailing problems of the national brand promoters. For 55 of his 75 years Gates has dealt with the public, first in Chicago department stores, then as a correspondent in a large mail order house and fin ally in his own business. Replacement Trapper How at Eagle Point A traveling trapper employed by the county, state and federal governments is now stationed in Eagle Point to take the place of the regular trapper in this area, Herby Tant, Eagle Point, who was recently injured in an automobile collision and will be confined to his bed for six to eight months.

(International) School Crossing Guard Survey Told Chicago (U.R) A recent sur vey by the Civil Service As sembly shows that at least 122 cities with more than 50,000 population have school crossing guard programs. The study shows that as a re sult of this system, larger cities are able to get children across streets safely to school cross ings four times a day without using police. Eighty-eight departments have had no traffic injuries or deaths among school children since the program was adopted. Other de partments report minor injuries. A few serious injuries to guards only were due to circumstances which could not be prevented, such as a runaway truck. Guards are carefully selected on the basis of physical and mental character, and in some cities are fingerprinted. The -postwar trend . has fa vored the employment of women-guards, particularly . young mothers of school children. Old er men from the ranks of re tired policemen, firemen, school janitors and handicapped veter ans also serve to good advantage. All Walks of Life Interviewed for Kinsey's Report Bloomington, Ind. (U.R) Data used in compiling Dr. Al fred C. Kinsey'a book on "Sex ual Behavior in the Human Fe male" came from women in every walk of life, according to information supplied by the Un iversity of Indiana. Reply to Critics In reply to critics who have charged that his - interviews could only be obtained from ex hibitionists, it was pointed out that Kinsey deliberately spread his investigation through as broad a social field as possible. His subjects ranged from the il literate to the holder of many college degrees, from the scrub woman to the society dowager, from the circus acrobat to the international banker. Kinsey and his staff leaned heavily on group interviews for the bulk of their data because, it was explained, valid informa tion concerning the sex habits of a specific class of persons can not, be drawn from a single in dividual (n that class. Wee People' Interviewed When asked if "nice people" submit to his interviews, Kinsey smiles and replies: "If I were at liberty to show you the names f some of the nice people I have interviewed leading ministers, government officials and university presi dents you wouldn't even ask that question." Bay bridge from San Fran cisco to Oakland has been a toll revenue success and the rates have been reduced several times.
