1850 Planes Fly Over
Train-Bound Chicagoan.

No matter how great their hurry,
thousands of travellers pause each
day on entering Chicago's Union sta
ton to gaze upon one Of the most
impressive war displays in the coun-
try. A dozen huge colored murals
and 1850 model airplanes have
transformed the walls and ceiling
Of the stations vast concourse into
a compelling war bond message.
On the west wall of the concourse
a 40-foot mural depicts a shower Of
war savings bonds descending on
the Capitol. On the opposite wall,
220 feet distant, a similar-sized MUIR
al shows another shower, only
bombs instead Of bonds, plunging
through the clouds onto a target
marked by the Nazi swastika. The
first mural bears the words, For
Us Bonds" while the second
reads, For Them Bombs"
Between the murals an armada Of
$500 scale model American fighter
and bomber planes hang suspended
go feet above the floor. Ranging
from Widespread of IL to AZ feet,
the planes all point in the direction
Of the enemy" mural.
Thanking the large murals and
along the side walls Of the station,
10 smaller murals portray the va.
rious fighters on the home and mill
tary fronts and also pay tribute to
the part played by labor and the
railroads in the nations war effort.
Each Of these murals is 30 feet
high. A display Of the flags Of the
United Nations completes the ex-
hibit.

Fortunately, soldiers who lose
their sight in the present conflict
will have to aid them in adjusting
to their new dark world many more
advantages than had their predeces-
sors Of the last war. They can en-
joy the Talking Book, devised by
the American Foundation for the
Blind, which reads books and plays
aloud; they will find available a
newly improved braille typewriter
on which they can write to their
blind comrades; they will find
games specially designed for blind
people. Better still, they will find a
public vastly more enlightened
in its attitude toward the blind, and
a working service infinitely better
trained and equipped to see that
the dark road which they must trav-
Ell is made smoother, happier and
more rewarding in every way.

State, Local Governments
Now Hiring Older Women

Hiring Of married women and re-
Taxing Of age limits so older and
younger workers may be obtained
for jobs are among steps taken TO-
day by state and local governments
to combat loss Of employees to the
armed forces and higher paying war
industry jobs, according to informa-
ton to the civil service assembly OF
the U. S. and Canada.
Several state and municipal civil
service agencies are reaching out
to their high schools for replace
ments.
State and local governmental re-
cruitment activities in Georgia,
Michigan, Chicago and Cincinnati in
dictate extent to which age and other
requirements have been relaxed, the
assembly said.
Georgia's department Of health is
using, on a hah-time basis for Office
work, high school seniors majoring
in commerce, while representatives
Of Michigan's civil service commits
sion speak before high school classes
as much as possible to attract grad
uating students to state employ
ment.
Seventeen-year-old boys were used
this summer as life guards at Chi
cago's beaches by the Chicago park
district, which reports there were
no drownings at the beaches during
the period. On the other hand, Gin
cinnati recently began conducting
tests for typists between the ages Of
40 and go.
Accompanying this relaxation Of
age limits is the emphasis being
placed on recruitment Of married
women, the assembly said. Penn
sylvania's department Of health, for
example, is making use Of house
wives with nursing experience foy
part-time nurses.

SPOKANE, Wash, May 30
When the American soldier
wants to bowl. he bowls, Cadet
Dick Cooley discovered, even If
he must carve his alleys. his pins
and his ball out Of the New
Guinea jungle.
Cooley, who still can't believe
it, told Of locating the worlds
unique bowling alley in a letter
made public today by a Spokane
bowling club. the Benevolent and
Protecting Order of Keglers.
I'VE were walking around the
bomb craters among the tall palm
trees watching some of the boys
at work on slit trenches when
First 1t. Irving Hoyt of Portland,
Greg, asked How would you like
to 60 bowling?'" Cooley wrote.
Here in the jungle his boys-in
between patrolling for Japs-had
constructed a bowling alley. ="
1t probably can claim to be the
only bowling alley on any fight
ing front in the world; certainly
it can claim to be the first and
only bowling alley in New Guinea.
Constructing it in regulation
size, the boys built their alley in
two weeks under the wide eyes of
astonished natives. From jungle
hardwood they carved a 16-pound
ball, patiently molding it for a
two-hnger grip. I can vouch that
she rolls true.
