Structural steelwork for build ings where the nation's future air leaders will be housed and trained rises six stories above the sage and buffalo grass. Giant earth-moving machinery, some times working around the clock, is pushing and forming the re sistant Colorado earth into shapes suitable for landing fields, parade g r o u n ds, and all the amenities and facilities neces sary to a great university of the air. Favored By Pioneers Thus the dream of such pioneer airmen as the late Billy Mitchell and Henry H. "Hap" Arnold, General of the Air Force, becomes reality. It was the dream, too, of the late Secretary of Defense James Forrestal who took the first step toward creation of the Air Force Academy in 1949, when he appointed a Service Academy Board to plan such an institu tion. -The Board, whose member included Charles A. Lindbergh, inspected 400 proposed sites in every section of the country. The location ten miles north of Colo rado Springs where high prair ies meet the Rockies finally was chosen because of the vast Graham Pleased With Crusade New York W Evangelist Billy Graham said Thursday night his ambitious New York Crusade so far has "given me a feeling down deep, a glorious sensing in my soul that it will be a great success." He said in an interview with the United Press following his ninth sermon in Madison Square Garden that "this conviction, and how it progresses or re gresses, will be the deciding fac tor as to whether we end the cru sade June 30, as scheduled, or run it through the summer." Graham said that another great factor was "the number of decisions for Christ that come out of our meetings here." He said .that so far the 5,830 "de cisions" made by New Yorkers in the first nine days of the cru sade has made him feel "better than I have in my life." Thursday night, an estimated 765 persons came forward to make decisions for Christ fol lowing Graham's sermon on "The Spiritual Disease of The Heart." New Hampshire sportsmen have really taken to archery. Some 20 tournaments were scheduled by local clubs in 1957 and the state also provides spe cial seasons for hunting deer with bows and arrows.

Colorado Springs, with an area population of more than 100,000, already is host to 1,500,000 vaca tionists each year. It is the usual point of departure for the climb to the summit of 14,110-foot Pikes Peak. Near hv arp surh other in- ' teresting places as the Cave of the Winds; Cheyenne Mountain with the Broadmoor Zoo 6,800 feet up its side; Cripple Creek and its historic gold camp; the startling rock formations in the Garden of the Gods, now a park owned and maintained by Colo rado Springs; and the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas River.

The Academy's bus service, in augurated in May by Continental Trailways, is unique. Two art iculated, German-built buses 60 feet long will make several trips a day, linking Colorado Springs and the Academy with Denver and Pueblo. The buses have everything to make a cadet and his friends happy glass tops for the view, hostesses, snack bars, and seats that not only recline but also adjust sideways to ac commodate any hip width.

But by the summer of 1958, if all .goes well, the glass, marble and stainless steel of the new Air Academy buildings will be in place, and some 1,200 of the nation's ablest young men will take up residence in an aeronautical training center without peer. everywhere proud of The Bel Air ' i.i,uim. )-,Srtlurl f Coupe with Body by Fisher. loves to cut loose and That sweet, smooth and sassy new Chevrolet likes nothing better than to head for, the wide open spaces. Its velvety V8 purrs with pleasure when your toe tells it to reel off the miles and level out the land See Jamaica Jumps As 'Satchmo' Plays Kingston, Jamaica W Louis (Satchmo) Armstrong and his jazz trumpet had the island of Jamaica "jumping" today. Arm strong and his band are appear ing at the Carib Theater and playing to packed houses. But he drew his biggest audi ence, more than 100,000, at a public performance at George VI Memorial Park Tuesday night. The crush was so great 18 per sons suffered broken arms, legs and other injuries and required hospital treatment. "It was the biggest congrega ton of cats I've hit the horn for except down in Ghana," Arm strong said. Armstrong and his band play ed in Ghana, when the former British colony of the Gold Coast gained its independence last March. They were one of the big gest hits of the freedom celebra tions. The Tuesday night show was sponsored by the Jamaican gov ernment for persons unable to pay the price for tickets to the Carib. Minnesota has 508 tree farms with a total of 1,073,313 acres. If you're looking for a real "escape artist," a car that loves to step out and get away from it all well, it just happens that Chevy was born with that urge. If there ever was a car that loved to cut loose and cover the miles, it's this one. Yet it's so beautifully behaved, so easy to handle that it even makes city traffic seem a bit lighter and parking places a bit biggej. Chevy's pretty easygoing out on the highway too. Not pokey. Far from it You find, for example, there isn't a hill around that can make it breathe hard Only franchised Chevrolet dealers 'l4llyl:lJffff display this famous trademark - x Your Local Authorized Chevrolet Dealer Russian Men Should Never Wear Pajamas At Dinner Table in Presence of Guests Moscow (IP) One of the hard est things to lay hands on in Moscow today is a little book with the misleading title, "For Healty Living" issued by the "Society for Dissemination of Political and Scientific Know ledge." Had it been published in the United States it would have been called "Good Manners" or "Etiquette." It is hard to get because it is so popular. It is the closest the Russians have come to Emily Post and they preface it with a note that while bourgeois manners are only a shrewd coverup for a "man's true face," the manners of the Soviet man "reveal his great culture." For example: Eat Heartily On eating: "Some think that a guest should eat as little as possible. Nothing could be more contary to good manners. When visiting, just as at home, satisfy your appetite." ' On dress: "Men may wear pajamas about the house, but only with a shirt underneath. Pajamas are never to be worn at the table when guests are present." , One of the' curious things about this country is that Rus sian men use their pajamas for almost anything but sleeping. They serve as lounging clothes on long train trips and as that "little something thrown on" to go to the corner store for the morning newspaper. On. drinking: "Women should not drink vodka, cognac or other strong spirits. There ought to be red wine on the table for them." This may fall on deaf ears. Ever since the war, the girls have been a pretty fair match at comradely toasts with their male companions. . "Drinking at the table is not compulsory. If you don't want to drink a lot and many toasts are proposed, sip just a little from your glass." All -well and good, but what Although its rugged mountains have given New Hampshire the nick-name "Granite State," it is sometimes called the "Mother of Rivers," because four .im portant New England rivers start here the Connecticut, An doscoggin, Saco and Merrimack. cover the miles! not with Chevy's high-performance V8 on the pulling end.

Chevy's new Positraction rear axle (optional at extra cost) puts still more pleasure in your driving. It delivers greater power to the wheel that grips, not the wheel tha slips. You have surer control and better traction on any road surface. Stop by your Chevrolet dealer's before another good driving day goes by. about the hearty practice in the Soviet Union of bottoms up. To decline a toast is to insult ons'e friends. Nudges Not Needed On manners in public: "While talking with someone, there is no need to nudge his arm, slap him on the shoulders or touch the buttons of his jacket." On dancing: "Refrain from gesturing with your free hand and assuming affected poses. Such affectations immediately betray a man's ill taste." On relations with ladies: "Men must never make the acquain tance of a woman without her permission." "When walking with a lady friend, don't leave her alone while you chat with a passing acquaintance. Otherwise she may abandon you." Even as in the bourgeois West.
