 There weren't any lectures and there wasn't any classroom work and there weren't any notes taken, Some of the students couldn't read or write, but they graduated none. theleSs.
 Best test of the schools success was that Ohio dairy farmers came In from miles around to sign up the men for jobs. Some of the dairymen didn't even walt for the students to graduate-juSt persuad. cd them to quit school on the spot and drove them home immediately SO they wouldn't get away.
 What surprised the dairymen most was the simple direct honesty of the Kentuckians, When one employer was explaining to Alis man that he'd he expected to drive truck, the -.. 'l ltuckian didn't want to take the job, Said he hadn't driven 6 truck much and couldn't do any of this fancy stuff. Besides, he couldn't read these northern road signs. The dalryman hired him anyway. ITS A LOT OF LARD
 one of the headaches of Lend. Lease administration has heen try ment to take shipments of oleomar- ing to persuade the Soviet govern- garine in place of butter, which is now running short in the mid-wiil- ter off-season.

 YOUR 3 CENTS WORTH
 Coinage of a new U. s. 3-cent piece is being seriously considered by the Mint as netal-saving de- vice. Yes, metal saving. They fig- ure 1t this way:
 As most 15-cent cigarets now sell ] for 16 cents. unless you have the exact change you hand over 20 cents and get back cents In change in the form of four pennies. With 3-cent piece in circulation. you could get two coins in change, g. cent piece and l-cent piece. in- voiving only half as much metal as before.
 Or. if you bought a Scent news paper, you could make the trans action with one coin instead of three, thereby conserving 66 2/3 per cent of the metal involved.
