(U.R) Most big schools just grow up with the vagaries of climate be ing no problem. But it's dif ferent in the construction of the Air Force Academy at Colora do Springs, Colo. The football coach wants one thing. The track coach wants a tailwind, and the baseball coach wants his field laid out so the wind will blow toward the left field fence when the Air Force is at bat. The problems belong to Capt. Richard C. Burriss. He is sup posed to provide the climatolog ical information and advice for the project. "The only thing that's depend able," Burriss told the Ameri can Meteorological socity, "is the sun. We can forecast it." But the wind is something else." Burriss suggested morning graduations at the academy. "On a June morning, an out door commencement at 11 a.m. wouldn't get rained out more than once in 100 at Colorado SDrings." he said. "But in the afternoon, it probably would get rained out every other year.' Patent Office Issues Worms Trade-Mark Washington (U.R) The U S.

He asked if he could register them as "Louisi ana Pinks" and restrain any oth er worm raiser from using that name. After a conference with Fish and Wildlife officials, the Patent Office decided to accept the ap plication so now fishermen can bait their hooks with trade marked worms.

Hammerstrom, a roller at the Pittsburgh Works of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp. here, had a dream worth $15,000. Evens leading up to his happy dream began in the summer of 1953, when a new 10-inch bar mill was installed at the works. The mill worked fine, except for a switch that controlled the delivery of straight bars to the cooling beds. Company engineers altered the switch 11 times, but it still wasn't right. Hammerstrom thought a lot about the problem and even made some rough sketches of a new design. But he had no success until one after noon when he lay down for a nap. He dreamed about the switch and, in the dream, it worked perfectly. When he awoke, he sketched his dream design.
