Steel Supp|dnts

Times Auto Editor

The washing machine manufac-
turer who started experimenting
with deep draw steel for his boilers
never dreamed that the results of
his tests would one day supply the
United Nations with huge quanti-
ties of ammunition.
But from what started out to be
washing machine tubs has evolved
a manufacturing process which is
turning out millions of large cali
Der steel shell cases.
The shell cases are made by
Buick and the development was
revealed today by Harlow II. Cur
tice, general manager of the Buick
division of General Motors, at a
conference of metal working ex-
perts and newspapermen in, Flint.
Curtice said that the process was
beyond the experimental stage and
75-millimeter cases were being
produced in steadily increasing
volume.

U50 PRESENTS
BOX AND COX
FOR End TINE

acteristic of Gilbert and Sullivan,
the amateur cast of DR.. James G.
Ryan, George F'olta and Miss Mary
Corn. punned their way through
the delightful skit of BOX and
Cox" at the second showing, held
at the USO Club last night.
With little more than sideburns
for each OF the two men to carry
out the illusion of Gay Nineties'
costuming and table and CRATE
for props plus the indispensable
and utterly limp pork chop and raw
bacon, the cast recreated the
sprightly humor of the skit.
Mary Corn as Mrs. Bouncer the
greedy landlady, gave perform
ance slightly reminiscent Of zazu
Pitts, while George Folta made a
typical Victorian pettifogger ar
guing in proof of his own demise.
DR.. Ryan did a good job of building
up the lines, both with information
and mugging.
Preceding the skit youthful Ann
Mavern set the mood with three
solos on the piano accordian, fol-
lowing which Poor Little Butter
cup" was given as piano solo by
Katherine Torkelsen.
Social rooms of the USO Club
were pretty we'll filled, with USO
patronesses, ESQ girls and service
men in attendance. Mrs. Grover
C. VIM and Mrs. L. j. Holmquist
were the committee in charge of
the program, while direction was
by DR.. Ryan.
