evidently did not know there is
such a thing as a silver dollar.
But if you will grasp firmly and
push down on the slot in the "a
YOU can make it large enough for
a dollar to go in" There are
many sections of the country where
silver dollar is never seen.
In some communities there will

 Dialers to the CBS Suspense" thrillers have learned to distinguish stories written by Mystery Scribe Mel Dinelli even If they miss the writer's credit announcement given on the Thursday program. Dinelli, who has scripted such outstanding Suspense" programs as Drive h. ITO Find Help,' "Tale of Two Sis ters," Dead of Night" and others, always makes a practice of inject ing a note of sympathy for even the most vicious killer. He insists that men become criminals through 8 mixture of circumstance and weak character, and that accurate characterization demands that the writer give the meanies, as well as the heroes, a break.
 The ice-bound, blizzard-ridden folk of the east may find 1t hard to believe but the sound-effects man on the Sunday "Blondie" pro- gram couldn't obtain cake of ice which he needed to get a back ground noise for a recent broadcast.

When Hollywood Ice companies were unable to deliver a sizable cake to the CBS studio, the technician compromised by securing a bowl full of ice cubes which he scraped across the skate blades.

 The paper house, covering an area about 8 feet by 16 feet, is not large structure, but results in- dicate that additional units could be added to provide any space de- sired. This one-story house was built of 2l prefabricated panels, including four floor panels which were placed in immediate contact with the ground. The paper used is chipboard, which is made on paperboard machines from waste paper only, and is reenforced with material that is exceeding ly cheap and relatively non-cri- tical. A minimum of wood and metal connectors was used.
 A few days after the experiment tai house was erected, terrific wind and rain storm struck App pleton and vicinity. Wind veloci- ties up to 56 .ph. were recorded as the storm damaged buildings and felled trees in its ferocity. Inspection of the house showed that no damage had been done, that it had not even shifted on .tS sills, although anchorages had not yet been provided.
