New York, May 29-CUP)-It seems that nothing is sacred to those people who spend their time making up musical jingles for radio. That product that isn't the subject of a @singing commercial" hasn't lived. And now the rhymers have given the business to the weather and to father time himself. New York will begin to hear the musical weather reports this week, with a milk company footing the bills. But want to warn the spon- sor eright now that it can't expect the public to find a rainy day at tractive simply because they learn about it in rhyme like this: Tonight, if you go to a picture show,
 This little tip from me will help,
 know;
 Take your '8umbershoot" along with You're gonna thank me if you do; It may be raining hard when home
 you go."
 This is a happier sample of the
 singing forecast: 'The hour is late, it's time to hit
 the hay,
 The weatherman says everything $
 okay;-
 Open up the windows get some
 air,
 And go to sleep without care, For tomorrow's gonna be a darn
 nice day"

 He announced that neither the conference nor a rival meeting of Smiths antagonists across the street from the auditorium would be per- mitted to take place.

Church Refuses
 Tablet to Poet

Bury St. Edmunds, England, May 29-(UP)-A parish church today refused to authorize a memorial tablet for 18th century sculptor and poet who was asked to under take research into the blushing of nude models.

 Darwin said he had the word of French artists that some models blush all over" but wrote that he wanted the opinion of cautious and careful English artists"
 The church council decided that any man who would be asked to do things like that is not suit able to be commemorated in a church tablet"

Radio Goes Musical
 I1,gles Used to Tell Time Of Day. Weather

This innovation in the, weather (although you'll notice they still pin the blame on the poor weatherman) comes from the new Radio Pack age" firm of Tom Carr and Charles Stark, well-knoWn announcers who have decided to get into the big money end of the business. They have 60 weather jingles all set and these cover everything from light dew to hurricane. The idea is to sell the service exclusively to one sponsor in city. If a sponsor puts them on more than one station, the cost goes up.
 The musical time signals number A, one for each hour and one for each half hour. Samples:
 My grand-dad's clock keeps goin'
 tick-tock,
 Right now it says it's one o'clock" If you have got your watch in hook, I'll tell you now it's six o'clock" Now listen here, I'm telling you, The old clock says it's half past two"
 The Danny Kaye radio show makes its last stand May 31 on the CBS network. The sponsor has hired Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater to fill in for the Summer at least, l3 to IT weeks. The first Welles broadcast will be at 10 P. M. EDT. June 2. The new program Will consist of adaptations of plays.
 Welles opens his new stage mu- Sical. Around the World" here the night of May 3l and the first ra- dio broadcast probably will be from nere. After that the broadcasts will originate in Hollywood because Weiies has to be there for movie work.

 Slaughterers must first notify OPA headquarters by telephone, and later confirm the request for slaughtering permission in writing, Crute said.
 T have been anxious to obtain help for Connecticut in this severe meat shortage which has occurred as result of the delay in cattle ship ments during the railway strike" he said.
 By temporarily liberalizing the restrictions on non-federally in- spected slaughter during this weeks emergency hope I have been able to increase the amount of meat available for people to buy in this state"

 Con Expect Only 36,00O

Washington, May 2o-CUP)-The armed forces can expect to get no more than 36O00 new men under the restrictive draft extension law recently passed by Congress, Selec- tive Service headquarters said to- day.
 This number. officials said, would remain the same even if the new draft law were to remain in effect for a year instead of expiring July as scheduled. It bans induction of teen agers and fathers.
 .Selective Service spokesmen said the total potential number / of draftees in the eligible 20-through- 29 age group was 72,O00. But Draft Director Lewis B. Hershey estimates half of them will be found physically unfit.
 The. spokesman pointed out that the 20-29 age group had been combed over repeatedly" during the war. The only veterans now in that class, he said are those who largely have been rejected on physical grounds or who had war; time job deferments. Very few de- ferments will be granted now. This official explained it would be more than a year before a new 20- year class would become available for induction since the present pool of 19-year-olds had been tapped be- fore the new law was adopted.
 The ban on teen age inductions removed sharp stimulus to volun- tary enlistmentS. The Army said recruiting dropped off sharply when the new measure was adopted.
 Selective Service estimated that about 100000 youths become 18 each month. Of this number, about 35,- 900 had been enlisting before they reached draft age. Almost half the remainder were physically unfit, thus leaving about 35,0OO to 10000 available for the draft each month.

Memorial Day and Ascension Thursday falling on the same day has many wondering about the coincidence For the record may say that this double observance has not been too recurren in the past seventyve years. Referring to the church calendar find that the holiday and holy day have both occurred May 30 in 1S7S 1889, 1885 and 1946. And up to 1855 the two will not again fall May 3O Ascension Day is movable feast and dates itself according to Easter, coming forty days after the former. It has been quite interesting to do bit of research the matter and has also been interesting to listen to of the passing opinions Some said they never recalled that the two fell on the day and date others said it a Many recall the coincidence in 1885, but fewer admit they remember far back 1889 1879. In research able to check back in prayer books to 1869.
