Double
Savings
At Buick

FLINT. April 10 - They've
found" thousands of tons of cop
per at the Buick division of Cen
eral Motors Corp. And they are
producing large caliber steel shell
cases by the hundreds Of thousands
without, in effect, dipping into the
nations steel supply.
This double-barrelled conserva-
ton Of critical metals was dis
closed today by company officials
who reported that more than
enough steel is being saved in the
forging processes on aircraft en-
CINE and tank parts to meet steel
shell case requirements al top pro-
duction.
Each shell case produced OF steel
saves about three pounds of cop
per, an annual conservation Of this
critical metal running into thou
sands of tons. Conservation of
steel in the forging methods
amounting TO millions OF pounds
annually more than balances shell
case production needs.
The net result is a production
gift" TO Uncle Sam OF literally
millions of pounds of copper and
millions of steel shell cases to
boot, without drawing upon metal
resources

Sikorsky Sees
HeIicopter as
Family Plane

Visions of a family airplane in
every backyard and of flying
trucks taking of from factory
roofs may materialize within 10
years after the war, I. I. Sikorsky
OF United Aircraft Corp, STRAIT
ford, Conn, assured the sac Ma
tional Aeronautic Meeting in New
York.
Sikorsky estimated that possibly
a million helicopters would be in
use in the decade following the
war, aiding the rehabilitation of
the aircraft industry by utilizing
war-expanded facilities and per-
sonnet. He predicted the helicopter
would open TO better use vast land
areas of this country now in
accessible.
Helicopters travelling at speeds
up TO 120 TO lao miles an hour
were possible, Sikorsky added. and
helicopter buses seating II to 20
passengers are not beyond reason
able expectation. Attachable land
ing devices in the form of inflated
rubber bags will permit helicop-
tiers to operate safely from ground
water, swamp, thin ice and deep
snow. He said the ability of hell

pairs to be made and freight 10

Review of Recordings

is a grateful work, pleasing because
OF its happy character, enhanced
by mastery performance.
Georg Phillip Telemann's Don
Quichctte Suite" dating back to the
beginning of the 18th century, is a
bit of program" music and rather
striking in character considering the
period. 1t has nothing of Richard
Strauss boldness, whose Don
Quixote" tone-poem finds its way
into present day concert programs.
If taken just as a piece of music, it
has more beauty and variety than
many another composition of that
time.
The composer was contemporary
and a friend of Bach. He occupied
a prominent place as musician and
composer in Hamburg and left a
stable output in every conceivable
form. He was severely criticized
for the manner with which he
treated the subject on review, the
bizarre progressions and interesting
turns of which arrest attention by
their originality. Superbly played
by the Arthur Fielder Sinfonietta,
Arthur Fielder conducting, it is a
decided contribution to the disc
literature. Edwin Bodky, harpsi-
chord, assists the orchestra.

Girl From Hawaii Hobes
To Return After War
Prize Contribution
BY JOAN FENDRICH, 16,

iawaii-the prewar Hawaii of
swaying palms and lazy, sunny
days-was for 61a years the home
of Laura 10 Bush, Anacostia High
School student.
Living near the Army post outside
OF Honolulu, Laura 10 attended
Hulehua High School, where only
about 80 per cent Of her classm ates
were white. The remainder were
Koreans. Chinese. Japanese and
Hawaiians. She describes the stu
dents as smart" and adds, "You
had to work hard to equal them"
Unlike our American pupils, who
have the custom of dressing up" on
the last day of school, the children
of Hawaii go barefoot and In over
alls.
Food was much the same as here,
says Laura 10, except for the fruit.
Such items as papayas and avo-
cados appeared regularly on the
lunch and breakfast table.
Clothing was light, with only oc-
casional need for a light wrap. One
of the most interesting things the
inhabitants were were Japanese
"tobbies" and "skippies." straw san
dals with straps across the top and
mitten-socks with a place for the
toe.
Exotic plants abound in Hawaii
the shower and thorn tree, wild
ginger and orchid.
while many of the island beau
ties we would not call beautiful in
the American sense" says Laura 10,
their hula-hula dance on festive
occasions is graceful and charming"
Laura 10 has seen several vol
canlc eruptions and has a collection
of slides which her father took fly
ing over volcano during an erup-
ton.
San Francisco-born and fond Of
the United States, Laura 10 would
nevertheless like to return to the
islands for visit after the war.
She left there two years ago.

Ask Yourself
Prize Contribution
BY MARY LOUISE KLINE. r.

Notre Dame Academy.
I have written this poem in honor
OF my two brothers in the armed
forces-William, in the Coast Guard,
and Joe, Army Air Forces:
He has given all he can.
His home and happiness:
He's given this for you and me
To make our worries less.
He has, given health and strength
And all his joys in life; riTr .
He's given time and energy 'o.st
To battle in the strife.
Some have given more than such
A life, perhaps, is lost.
He may have from a trench been
thrown
Or from deck been tossed.
A bullet may have proved his fate,
A bullet pierced his heart,
A bomb could fell him in his tracks.
His body torn apart.
All, these are the things that he
can give,
With willing, bravest heart.
Consider this and ask yourself,
How can I do my part?"
