16 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford,
High Schools Given
Praise for Jobs
Manhattan, Kan. CtFl A
Kansas State College speaker
said recently that high schools
have done a better job than
colleges in recognizing that
all persons are not equal in
ability.
Roy Anpstrong, director of
admissions at jNortn around
University, also said the high
schools have done more to ad
just their programs to fit stu
dents. "We must recognize the dif
ferences in students and
must begin to provide oppor
tunities for them beyond high
school," Armstrong said. "We
must give dignity to voca
tional and technical training
We must give dignity to
work."
He urged that colleges
start giving advanced stand
ing to students who are wor
thy of it during early days m
college. Armstrong said stu
dents should be allowed to
progress as rapidly, as pos
sible.
Conscientious Woman
Causes Itchy Scalp
St. Louis (IP) A conscien
tious, and anonymous, woman
has caused councilmen a great
deal of head scratching just
because she found a nickel in
Forest Park.
Seems she felt it belonged
to the Dark commissioner, and
she spent three cents to mail
it to him.
After considerable execu
tive conferring and expensive
bookkeeping, the five-cent
piece wound up in the mis
cellaneous receipts fund. That
is the customary destination
of so-called "conscience fund"
contributions to the city.
Pittsburgh Plans
Auditorium-Arena
Pittsburgh (IP) Ground
will be broken here soon for
a super civic auditorium-arena
with the largest retractable
roof ever constructed.
The entire top of the build
ing, in the shape of a huge
dome, will be designed to open
or close in three minutes.
Thus spectators at sports
events or a light opera pro
duction will be able to sit in
the starlight without fear of a
drenching from a sudden rain
storm.
In winter, the $20,000,000
structure also will house trade
shows, exhibitions, and con
ventions. The dome of the arena will
itself be the largest ever built.
' The whole building will cover
four acres in the city's rede
veloped Lower Hill District.
To be built in eight sections,
the dome will have a diameter
of 415 feet and will weigh
nearly three thousand tons.
The auditorium will seat
about 10,000 and will feature
stereophonic sound reproduc
tion. A built-in artificial ice rink
will accommodate skaters and
- hockey games.
.CoJJege Professor
: Originates Language
Iowa City OP) Erich
. Tunke, head of the University
of Iowa's German department
is the originator of a new
language called Translingua.
Any of the world's 2,800
different languages can - be
translated into a numerical
code. You may not know
what the code means, but a
'native can look up the num
"bers in one of the dictionaries
prepared by Funke and trans
late it to his language.
Funke has been working
on Translingua for more than
six years in an effort to com
pile an international com
munication system.
Rare Coins Give
College Education
! University Park, Pa. (IP)
-A sophomore engineering stu
dent is putting himself
through Pennsylvania State
University, on a dime or at
least on dimes and pennies.
Q. David Bowers, 19, of
Forty Fort, Pa., runs a thriv
ing rare coin business in his
spare time between exams.
Although the collection
started out with only a smat
tering of Indian cents and
gold pieces nothing to brag
about, numismatically speak
ing Bowers now thinks
nothing of paying $4,750 for
a rare 1894 dime. One of
seven such coins existing to
day, a product of the San
Francisco mint, it was put on
a New York auction block
last November.
Last summer. Bowers spon
sored a S20.000 public coin
auction of his own, operating
with a friend as the Perm
New York Auction Co.
Aside from his profession
al collection, which he keeps
in bank vaults and of which
he is reluctant to estimate the
value, Bowers maintains a
hobby collection of cents and
half-cents of colonial Massachusetts.

Police Complaint
Calls Recorded
Chicago (IP) Telephone
calls to the complaint room
of central police headquar
ters here are being recorded
on tape in the hope of cutting
down crank or scare calls.
Police Commissioner Timo
thy O'Connor had the moni
toring system installed as a
means of checking whether
the two million calls received
annually are handled prop
erly. The recordings and time
slips showing when the calls
are made will be kept indefi
nitely to be used when check
ups are necessary, he said.
The commissioner also hopes
the recording system would
help in tracing calls.
Proper Lighting
Sparkles Homes
Chicago If your
home doesn't sparkle as you
think it should, it's probably
because you haven't the prop
er lighting, says an expert in
the field.,
"Good lighting is a combi
nation of three different types
of lighting," said Richard
Kelly, consultant to the
American Home Lighting In
stitute. Kelly said every home
should have attraction light
ing, background lighting and
charm lighting. Attraction
lighting is used for reading, or
t o provide working light
above the counters in the kit
chen. Background lighting is
the kind that comes from fix
tures that bounce the glow
off the ceiling or walls,
Charm lighting is a play of
brillants which comes from
light reflected from glassware
or a crystal chandelier.
"The trick in lighting is to
use these three types in the
right balance." Kelly said "At
all costs, avoid lighting a room
with just one type."
Car Wash Drive-ins
Create Problems
Chicago (IP) The Ameri
can Society of Planning Offi
cials warns that rapid growth
of automatic car wash drive-
ins may bring fast cheap serv
ice, but they also create prob
lems for a city.
Traffic tie-ups, excessive
noise, fumes and headlight
glare may make "minute
wash" establishments 'bad
neighbors in-certain areas, the
society said.
Zoning ordinance provi
sions for minute washes can
keep them out of areas where
they would create a noise,
the society said. It also felt
police regulations might pre
vent interference with pedes
trian and auto traffic.
Lacking a zoning ordinance,
the society said, restrictions
on noise, fumes and use of
water may give partial con
trol to a city.
MAN'S BEST FRIEND
Chicago (IP) Burglars
added insult to injury when
they broke into William Ship
ley's apartment.
Not only did they take $1,
000 in jewelry, but they
stole his watchdog.

'Edge of Truth7 Seen as
Successful Performance
On 'Studio One' Program
Bv WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
New York (IP) In manv
ways TV theater works un
der the same bum rap as the
Broadway theater the "hit"
attitude. You
deliver a hit
or a bomb.
There's not
much room
or sympathy
i for the in-be
tween show
I am not
talking about
half - h o u r
William Ewald TV d r a m a s,
Westerns or situation comed
ies where everybody is resign
ed to mediocrity and accepts
it with mashochistic grace.
However, what I'm saying is,.
I think, true of our attitude
toward the big TV drama
shows "Kraft." "Plav
house 90," "Studio One" and
the drama specs.
Monday night's "Studio
One," on CBS-TV was a case
in point. It was called "The
Edge of Truth." and was a
medium-sized play with me
dium-sized objectives. Six
months from now, I doubt
whether anyone will remem
ber it, but within the limits
it set for itself, I would say
it was successful.
Outcome Not Doubted
I don't think that anyone
over the age of six who
watched "The Edge of Truth"
doubted its outcome. It was
a piece about an honest cop
who gives a traffic ticket to
a playboy, who, in' turn, lines
up a phony witness and 'ac
cuses the cop of courting a
bribe.
The cop, of course, cleared
himself. At least, I think he
cleared himself CBS - TV
interrupted the climax of the
show with a news bulletin.
If it had been held off just
20 seconds more, it would
have interrupted the commer
cial instead, but that, as they
say, is show biz, TV style.
However, to get back to "The
Edge of Truth": I don't think
it can be summed up by a
quick ticking off of its plot.
What pinched the play to life
was some honest and untricky
writing and some business
like acting.
Among its assets were Glen
da Farrell, Scott Forbes, John
Jupton and Dolores Sutton.
And in a classification by
himself I would list Paul
Douglas who played the cop
with the injured bellicosity
of a wounded bull moose. He
is the kind of actor who. reeks
honestey and authority and
is a super-plus for any pro
duction. Gracie Allen Amusing

Debt Consolidation
inq Reason
Chicago (IPl The Bureau
of Federal Credit Unions says
consolidation of debts is still
the most frequent reason for
borrowing by credit union
members, according to a re
cent survey.
Automobile purchases are
among the more definitive
reasons for borrowing. Auto
loans also were the largest
in amount on the average.
Dollar value of such mort
gages amounted to 30 per
cent of the total sum loaned
out by federal credit unions
in 1956.
One conclusion reached by
the survey was that the large
loan is the exception rather
than the rule. This was re
flected by figures that show
ed most loans still range be
tween $200 and $500. These
small loans were considered
remedial" loans rather than
loans for luxury items.
