Norman Matthews, chairman of
the JAW Radio Committee, cat
lined the considerations that led
the UAW to enter the field of
radio broadcasting at meeting
here Tuesday night. He stressed
the Importance to the community
of news and other programs free
of bias and "slant," and said that
it was the intention of the UAW
to operate its three stations to
provide the greatest possible serv-
ice to the people of Chicago, De-
troit, and Cleveland.
Discussion of the technical as
poets of FIN radio, led by UAW
Radio Representative Allen Say
Ter, disclosed that development of
the high-fidelity FM broadcasting
system is now proceeding so fast
that present standard "AM''
broadcasting is expected to be
largely obsolete. within a few
years.

TT seems to me- Mr.. Fuller told
the Conference Of State Health
Workers this week "that the sub
ject of school sanitation-and the
teacher pay scale-are always con-
sidered last.

partment should investigate at
least annually the sanitary status

satisfied until the thinking of every
school official in the State is on a
level with that of every public
health official as regards the neces-
sity for and the minimum standard
that should prevail"
He added that present sanitary
conditions in schools in many coun-
ties would not be tolerated If they
were known to pupils parents.

One month at sea has seen the
logs covered entirely by fringes of
green seaweed and clusters of red
and blue shells which make us a
center OF attraction in this great
aquarium. On calm days, we often
observe small pelagic crabs drifting
past US, riding as passengers on
floating feathers of sea birds, covered
with flsh eggs. Seeing the raft, the
crabs rush on over to hide In the
seaWeed and feed on the shells.
Tiny fish also hide between the
logs. and they attract quantities of
large fish, always swimming under
or near the raft. The cook can
catch 20 to 40 pound dophins when
ever he wants to, with flying fish
on a hook or simply by spearing
them. It's enough to dip a tooth

cleanup TO get big dolphins rushing
out from under the raft to investi-

huge heads, blue backs, green sides
and yellow tails.

 The twenty-seven year old artist was born in Kansas City, Mo. He came east in 1925 and lived in Hartford with his step mother, Mrs. s. A. N. Reed.
