WILL AMERICA
STRIKE OUT?
America has long been batting
high in science and invention,
business and trade, living
standards and ideals for peace.
Hut there may be scoreless in
nings if we do not train enough
heavy hitters with higher edu
cation. This is causing concern.
Many colleges are in a squeeze.
Some face shortages, and in
less than 10 years there will be
twice as many applicants.
To stay ahead, we must see
that our colleges have modern
laboratories, enough class
rooms and a steady supply of
competent teachers.

Conditioning
By ROSALYN ABREVAYA
AIR conditioning is an enjoyment that
jt. needn't wait until the "season" begins.
Bought early, a room air conditioner will be ready to
provide cool comfort on the first hot day which may be
well in advance of normal summer heat waves.
Preseason buying also gives a family time to shop for
the model that's just right for its needs or have a dealer
order a model that's not in stock at the moment.
The exhaust cycle found on most units provides a
winter bonus by freshening stale rooms without the chill
of open doors and windows. And for millions of hay-fever
and allergy sufferers, who feel better with the controlled
temperature and filter-pure air supplied by air condition
ing, there is this added incentive: the Internal Revenue
Service allows an air conditioner to be deducted as a
medical expense provided it is recommended by a phy
sician, is used specifically to help relieve illness, and does
not become a permanent part of the dwelling.
The new room air conditioners are quieter and more
attractive than ever. The majority are constructed of
weather-resistant materials and finishes that give years
of protection. Some are small enough to fit the width of
a windowpane, and one leading firm has covered its units
with beautiful cabinet-like fronts to match the four most
popular periods of decor traditional, early American,
provincial, and contemporary.
Other FEATURES to look for include: thermostats which
operate automatically once set; removable, washable
filters; two- and three-speed fans; adjustable controls for
directing the cool air flow where desired; settings for
fresh air and exhaust without cooling.
A unit with too much cooling capacity will cost more
to buy and operate but will not do better than one that is
correctly matched to the job. The most accurate method
of rating a room air conditioner is by measuring its ca
pacity in British Thermal Units per hour. BTUs indicate
the amount of heat a unit removes from a room each
hour. This rating is replacing inaccurate ton and horse
power designations.
The most popular air-conditioner sizes range from
6,000 to 8,000 BTUs. But the trend today is toward 8,000
to 10,000 and even larger capacities that can cool more
than one room.
