German Turning Out Ceremonial Guns
Pokcing, Germany (UPI)
The cannon business is
booming in this small Bavar
ian village near the Austrian
frontier.
Not the fearsome atomic
variety, but old-fashioned can
non for ceremonial use.
In 33 years, Joseph Wenig
has turned out 2,300 of he
guns at his foundry. He says
he's now getting more orders
than ever before.
"Apparently," said the.
small, bespectacled, 70-year-old
Wenig, "people still like
the idea of the booming noise
of the cannon to celebrate spe
cial occasions."
He said most of his orders
some from the West German
Army and Navy rifle clubs
and from wealthy families.
The Wenig foundry, which
now employs 12 craftsmen
plus Wenig's 34-year-old son
Ulfram, turns out cannon in
four different sizes. They
range in price from $100 to
S450. Ammunition is also
available at 50 cents a round.
Quite often, Wenig rolls his
arsenal out into a nearby field
and fires the cannon one after
another. It's an impressive
sight and an awsome sound.
Archbishop of Boston
To Visit in Ireland
Dublin (LTD Dr. Richard
J. Cushing, Roman Catholic
archbishop of Boston, will
come to Ireland next Monday
to visit his father's home at
Glanworth, County Cork, it
was announced Monday.
While at Glanworth, the
archbishop, who is on a pil
grimage to Rome and Lourdes,
France, will break ground for
a new church and will bless
and open a new school at his
father's old parish.

St. Bernards Being
Replaced in Alps
Oosta, Italy (UPI) Walk-ie-tilkie,
helicopters and tun
nels under the Alps are thin
ning the ranks of those lov
able canine heroes with
brandy kegs, the St. Bernards.
For hundreds of years,
these big shaggy-haired -dogs
have plodded through the
deep snows on the St. Bernard
passes to save the lives of lost
travelers. '
But only nine dogs remain
at the Hospice of St. Bernard.
Ever since the end of the last
war their numbers have dwin
dled and the amount of work
has diminished to no more
than several calls a year.
New and efficient mountain
rescue methods have outdated
the St. Bernard. Radio squads
and helicopter patrols over
the terrible passes are much
a.uicker and surer means of
rescue than the courageous
shaggy dogs.
Increased Spending
Noted in Fairs by
U.S. Businessmen
By ROBERT G. SHORT AL
United Press International
New York (ITU Business
men in the past 10 years have
increased their spending on
trade shows and expositions
six-fold to more than three
billion dollars.
These shows are patterned
after county fairs and feature
everything from flowers,
fancy foods and antiques to
plastics, heavy machinery and
automobiles. '
Growing competition in the
world markets, especially
from the revitalized industries
of Europe and Asia, has been
the -. key factor behind - the
growth of trade shows.
Some of them, such as the
motor boat, mobile home and
autmobile shows are open to
the public. Others, such as the
U.S. World Trade Fair and
the Fancy Food and Confec
tion Show, are open only to
businessmen and buyers.
4,000 Expositions
Arthur Smadbeck presi
dent of the Coliseum Exhibi
tion Corp., operators of New
York City's huge showplace,
predicted that more than 4,
000 expositions will be held
in the United States this year,
compared with 900 in 1940.
These are in addition to the
2,000 trade shows that will
be held abroad, and to the
6,000 state and county fairs
or permanent exhibitions and
showrooms in this country.
The U.S. World Trade Fair
held in the Coliseum in May
drew exhibitors from 60 na
tions and was attended by
more than 127,000 buyers, ac
cording to Charles Snitow, or
ganizer of the giant exhibit.
"To cover the markets rep
resented at the Fair," he ex
plained, "a buyer would have
to travel around the world

Government Takes Part
Various governments took
part in the show this year,
with some of them settling up
expensive exhibits ranging
from a Balinese temple to the
recreation of a tropical island.
Trade shows frequently re
sult in big orders for exhib
itors. At a foreign car expo
sition this year a total of 12
Rolls Royces ranging in price"
up to $25,000 was sold right
off the floor. Some of the
buyers even paid cash.
The growth of trade shows
was a key factor behind the
construction of the Coliseum
in New York two years ago.
Since then, more than five
million persons have attend
ed the wide variety of shows
held there.

DARRELL MILLER CO., 415 S. RIVERSIDE
Mrs. R. H. Nora's boy
friend doesn't believe in con
vention and morality..
Nora H. He is the most in
teresting boy I know.
Mrs. R.H. My husband
and I are just about frantic
about our 18-year-old daugh
ter, Nora.
We are respectable people
and have given her a fine
bringing up. Now we find
she is going out with one ' of
the worst boys in town-
boy who is believed to have
gotten one' of the girls here
into trouble about a year ago,
This boy is a smart aleck
type and talks a big line about
the fact he doesn't believe in
convention and morality. He
says this straight to our faces
and yet my daughter insists
upon going out with him. we
are frightened to death every
minute she spends with him,
Nora H. Randy talks a big
line. What my parents don't
understand is that it is all
talk and nothing more. That
rumor about him and the oth
er girl was just silly.
" She was a tramp and every
one knew it. Randy went out
with her a few times, as did
most of the boys around here
But . he certainly wasn't re
sponsible for what happened
I have gone out quite a bit
and I know what I'm about.
Randy is the, most interesting
boy I know. He can talk about
a lot of things. He reads a lot
and is always . full of the
ories. I'm not serious about
him and I don't think he is
about me.
I think my parents ought to
trust me.
The Council: From both
statements, it appears that
Randy is a very immature boy
and somewhat irresponsible,
but possibly not quite as dan
gerous as the R.H.'s fear.
The fact that this boy is
willing to discuss "theories"
of conventionality and morai-
i-fv with the oarents of the girl
he is dating is a probable in
dication that he is more mien
with wind than evil inten
tions. He probably works off
a lot of his steam by talking.
We use the word "probao-
lv" advisedly. Eventually
Randy will work up the cour
age to act on his theories
nn1ii his ideas change. At
that time he will probably do
less talking to parents.
W don't think this boy is
the best, influence for Nora
and she should be guided to
ward a better understanding
nt what constitutes maturity.
character and interesting talk
in a male. At the moment
Randy's talk may sound revo
lutionary and exciting, but
Nora should be made to real
ize that it is as old as the
hills as well as foolish and
boring.
Tf Mr. and Mrs. R. H. snow-
on IPCS shock and more disin
terest in Randy's talk, Nora
nniH . less fascinated by u.
The fact it gets a big rise out
of her parents indicates to her
what he is saying is meaning
ful and impressive.
The R.H's should be sure
Nora herself has a good un
derstanding of the reasons for
sexual morality from every
point of view. At her age she
should also have full informa
tion on sex so she won't be
tempted by mere curiosity.
There is much good litera
ture on the subject available
today and Nora should be en
couraged to read some of the
material written by clergy
men, sociologists and doctors.
Armed with knowledge and
a background of happiness
and love in her home, Nora
should soon begin to find
Randy's talk quite childish.

Good Farm Land
Becoming Scarce
Chicago (UPD A recent
study by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture indicates that
good farm land is becomming
increasingly harder to buy.
During a one-year period
covered by the survey only
31 out of every 1,000 farms
were voluntarily put up for
sale. Ten years ago the figure
was 57 out of every 1 000.
" The survey showed that 40
per cent of all farm land pur
chased during the year went
to farmers who were adding
to their holdings.
