Evanston, 111 T - (U.PJ An article in a Northwestern Uni versity, publication says selection and training of police in most cities must be vastly improved if police work is to be called a;l'profession."- : Charles F. Sloane, head of the police examining unit in New York State's civil service depart ment, said there is no substan tiation of claims that there soon will" be a "profession of police v?ork." Sloane made this contention In an article in the Northwestern Journal of Criminal Law, Crim inology and Police Science. Ability to read and write, he said, often is the only education al requirement for police work. Few police departments, he said, have careful character investiga tions and stringent intelligence and aptitude tests. "With these facts taken into consideration," he asked, "how can anyone truthfully state that we are on the verge of profes sionalization?" " . He : cited' the personal stand ards of the"' Fedeaal Bureau of Investigation and. the police de partment of Berkeley, Calif., as being of the high caliber re quired to give police work a pro fessional standing. - The hornbill, an African bird, walls herself up with mud in side a hollow, tree ' at nesting time.

No . separate heater is necessary with All-Season Air Conditioning, further reducing the low cost to the owner. All-Season Air conditioning is available for all Hornet, Wasp and Rambler models, and. unlike Former Artillerymen Set Reunion May 7th Portland - The $5th annual reunion of the 65th Artillery as sociation will be held at the Portland.

Alexander Kolin told a meet ing of the American Physical Society the new method permits the complete separation of mix tures - of. chemicals and micro organisms much more quickly and completely than methods in current' use. ; ' . Kolin's system will facilitate t!ie separation of viruses from their cells which until. now has been a very difficult process. . His process is based upon the placing: of the mixtures to be separated in a solution between two fluids which differ in their acidity. When an electric current is passed through the solution, the particles in the solution tend to move toward a point at which their electrical charge will be zero. This is called the isoelec tric point. Kolin's apparatus costs only $20 to construct and will be used by many laboratories which could not afford the costly and conventional apparatus current ly in use. 1 . HEADS UP Oconto, Wis. (U.R) Police told "William Rogen, Oconto Falls, theye is nothing wrong with driving over a manhole unless there was a man's head sticking . out of same. They charged Rogen with reckless driving for ignoring a man guarding the manhole and bump ing the head of Howard Young who was working in the hole at the time. Progress Makes Little Imprint On Missouri Town i Old Mines, Mo. (U.R) Two centuries of national expansion and progress have made little imprint on the scattered com munity of Old Mines. Its 600 inhabitants live vir tually in the same fashion as did their French-Canadian ancestors when they settled here in the foothills of the Ozarks, only 60 miles from St. Louis. Isolated and self-sufficient, the community has preserved its colonial way of life and, by choice, literally watched the world go by. Its speech is French and old French customs and tra ditions are retained. Its people aire law-abiding, frugal but not overly ambitious for material gain. Its communi ty life revolves about St. Joa chim's Catholic church, built in 1828. The Old Mines French, despite an inherited, reluctance to. things "American," are re spected by their non-French neighbors. Lead Mining The advent - of automobiles, electricity, radio and other mod ern developments . have drawn away many of the younger gen eration to towns for employ- remains. They live in log houses built by their ancestors or by their own hands, with sloping roofs, long galleries across the front, and whitewashed interiors. Shakes or hand-split shingles are generally used on roofs. . Old. Mines was settled about 1723 when French colonists crossed the Mississippi river from Illinois to. work the lead mines in this area. Later, when the United States took over the Illinois country, still more went into the hills to escape the often violent Americans. ; Lead , mining provided cash for modest needs for several gen erations.. Until recent years each family carried on-its own inde pendent mining operations, then the big mining companies moved in with modern equipment. Now the younger men work in the mills. t Farming is carried on modest ly, each family growing only enough for its own meager needs. ' . i The French dialect spoken at Old Mines, although originally French-Canadian, is hard for a Frenchman to understand. A large number of American words and idioms have been adopted. 'Toll-Jumpers' Annoy Thruway Authority Schenectady, N. Y. 0J.R) The New York State Thruway authority is having trouble get ting everybody to pay tolls on the super-highway. A spokesman said side access roads, being used temporarily for construction, make perfect exits for "toll jumpers" who shoot on and off the i highway without using the interchanges. But those who are caught get quite a jolt they're billed all the way v back to the first en trance, which is near New York City.

APRIL 23 Front 4 Jackson Streets Phone 2-6281 Tor Sale' Signs Said Good and Bad Washington: (U.R) "For sale" signs can be good and bad, according to a survey of the real estate business by the Sec retaries Council ril the National Association . of Real Estate Boards. S o m e realtors think the signs are silent salesmen, and do an effective job of advertis ing. ' ; Others think they pose an open invitation for house-hunters to ring the doorbell and ask the owner for information', thus by passing the real estate broker. The council based the follow ing finds on reports by secre taries of 277 real estate boards: 1. Only a handful of commu nities outlaw the signs. ; 2. "Gentlemen's agreements'" on the non-use of for-sale signs rarely work. ... 3. Most real estate boards are not concerned . with complete elimination of the ; signs, but would like to reduce the num ber in use. Letter Carriers Advisee! On Handling Dog Problem Washington OJ.R) -' As far as postmen are concerned, sleeping dogs shouldn't be al lowed to lie. They should be awakened gently and quietjy.' -"1 Letter carriers who daily have to contend with canines of vary ing dispositions have been pre sented with this and other dog-, dodging advice, in ; ari official publication of the . post office department. The idea is to cut down on the 5,000 bites "mail carriers sustain each year from unfriendly canines. .". ;V . Edward Landry t , the depart ment's director of safety- and health,' said that the - instruc tions were issued because some mailmen accidentally antagonize the dogs because' they do the wrong thing." . , , - . ' Near the top of the list is the tip on letting a dozing animal know of the carrier's presence. "The postman should whistle to let the sleeping dog know he is coming up thewalk," Landry said.' ' . Other department suggestions: Ignore the dog until he. shows he is friendly; never make the first advance. Don't strike at a dog he'll then think it all right -to fight back. . Show respect for" a dog and he'll show respect for you. A dog is not necessarily brave; he can - be bluffed. Walk fast and straight past him. , - Never turn your " back and run. . -' . -' - . Tooth-marked carriers across the country 'have long since in stituted ; their own,,; protective measures. In Houston, Tex., regular mailmen have a file card system to let substitutes know what to expect on the routes. One example: "26 Alfalfa Lane, Dalmatian, very mean." ' Chicago postal .employees, plagued by an unusually high number of bites, put on an edu cational campaign for dog own ers and mailmen. An Arlington, Va.,' postman, unbitten after three years serv ice, has a rather simple method. County Draft Board Thanked by Inductees Oskaloosa. Ia. flj.R). Most draft boards seldom receive "thank you" notes from Army inductees, but the Mahaska county board is an exception. Since 1950 the Mahaska'Cdim ty Service league has prepared nearly 500 going-away packages for the, draft board to give in ductees, or enlistees when they leave for service. ; w.; Each package contains Vata tionery, post cards, a ball point pen, two candy bars,' two pack ages of cigarettes and. a bar if soap. The new soldiers usually write a note of thanks. - j 7 T usually keep right on walk ing past dogs who snarl" a bit. and they leave me r alone, Jbe said. "If they get too mean, then -1 do threaten them a bit to show them who is the boss. It's worked so far J f .-. A v Washington " carrier." who has tried all of the rules at one time or another without great success, has adopted a fatalistic attitude toward the problem. "When a dog is going to bite. he's going to bite," he said.' - r r h f-': V '..presenting M$Mm the mw LOW-COST f lflMilS V5r 1 PRICED features! V.
