HOWARD STUDENTS WHO VISITED YALE WE'RE GUESTS --- NOT "GUINEA PIGS"

In all the leading newspapers of the nation you'd noted that stu dents of Yale University were working hard to prepare a week end of entertainment of guests from Howard University, the country's largest college for Ne groes.
 When the M. E. had dropped the assignment on your desk, you had sniffed cynically and concluded:
 ssHere we go again. A bunch of intellectual do-gooders with anoth- CT brilliant scheme designed to solve the so-called race problem by eight p. m. tomorrow night"
 And so, grudgingly, you had gone to snow-covered New Haven and taxied out to Dwight Hall where thirty Howard men were to arrive ony minute now to be guests of some ninety sons of Eli.
 The Commons Room at Dwight was a big, cheerfully place made wonderful by dark rugs, casual furniture and friendly fireplace. On a table near a window were scores of tea cups, q couple or tea dispensers and crackers.
 The room was thronged with Yalemen. Tn the midst of the crowd was Jacques Rostain, secretary or the Yale Weekend Committee, who was up to his ears in 1ast-mlnute arrangements. It was three-thlrty and the guests would arrive any minute nov. =,
 It was impossible to talk with Rostain at the moment and you became engaged in conversation with friendly committee memDer' tall, blond fellow by the name of Dick Field. Dick, lawyers son. had dry, but kindly humor. In 2 minute you were joined by BOD Zimmer, Trimmer and Field were friendly enemies, the former be- ing head of Yale's Conservative Party Union and the latter being an intense member of the Labor Party group.
 Live Discussion Held
 A pretty live discussion got un- der way. Dewey versus Truman. Whether Truman had meant his civil rights promises. Whether he'd been smart in trying to jam the legislation through Congress at the time he did. The question of wheth- CT professors should be fired if thy were Communists.
 Zimmer was a Dewey man and proud of it. Field described him. self as sort of non-Communist, 1eftist Democrat. Both thought the fillibuster indescribably stupid. Both condemned impartially North ern and Southern reactionaries. Both seemed unequivocally sane on race issues.
 We were injecting opinions only incidentally, both because we were observing and because, at times, they became highly technical and made us feel slightly superfluous. We marvelled at the basic fair

ness Which ruled their discussions the willingness to yield a point here, coupled with the ability to hold their own in debate.
 We were in the midst of reor- ganizing the government of the United States to take away some of the power of the Executive and give it back to the Judiciary when a booming baritone announced:
 'They're here"
 The Howard men came in. There were supposed to be thirty of them, but only seventeen arrived. The name of each guest was announced and two hosts, who had been as- signed to him, stepped up to claim him. Their greetings, the manner of guests and hosts were perfectly natural. There was very little diff firence, no suspicion. They were a bunch of guys come to visit a bunch of guys and there wasn't too much social significance about it-thank God.
 The Howard men apologized for the fact that all hadn't been able to come. The transportation costs S25 and that is some cookies for a college boy. Others had been forced to stay behind due to exams, for other reasons. The Yalemen were genuinely disappointed that there were only seventeen men.
 The Reverend Sidney Lovett, Yale's chaplain, whose greatest glory is that the boys irreverently, but sincerely, refer to him as a good egg, Reuben Holden, assistant to YaleEs president, and William D. Cone were on hand to aid in the official welcome, which was not official enough to be disturbing Cone was chairman of the Week. end Committee.
 Hosts Disappointed
 Field and Trimmer who had become those disappointed in not having guests show up and decided to adopt us. Everybody had lot of tea and conversation, but as the tea cooled and the converse tion warmed up, they began to drift out by twos and threes. Dinner was the first thing on the schedule, but for another hour or so we sat around by the fireplace with Field and Hammer who had become Dick and Bob, and finished reor- ganizing the government. We also decided whether there was going to be depression and analysed the Republiancs' chances to make comeback in 1852. There was lot of good-natured kidding of Zim- mer as an "o1d reactionary." He was tragi-comically chagrined be- cause someone had sent him a mo- tice to come to a meeting to help the poor Communists on trial in New York and he wondered how in blue blazes they had gotten his name on the list. Dick thought it was wonderful.
 Jacques Rostain came along and

dot SPRAYING DOES NOT PREVENT
POLIO, STATE HEALTH man SAYS

Aerial busting of cities has not
proved effective in the control of

of Health said today.
Spraying DDT from airplanes
is not the proper method of insect
control in urban areas, according
to DIR. Charles R. Freeble, Jr., of
the Division of Communicable Di-
seases.
"Insect control may or may not
be a factor in polio, but it is an
important health measure" he
said. However, it must be a
continuing project-one which gets
insecticides into garbage pals and
other breeding places not accessi-
BILE to airplanes."
DIR. Freeble pointed out that a
controlled experiment in QDT
dusting failed to produce results

ed in the busted area than in the
undusted portions of the test city,,
he said.
"The only thing certain about
the control of polio is that moth

the Lake Shore Manager stated.

northwest portion of the state.
There have been % cases, 19 of

under close observation and all
possible resources are being used
to prevent a major outbreak.
However, health and aviation
officials agreed that the small pos

effective preventative does not off
set the far greater danger of low

DAIRY'S MODERNlzAT|ON MAKES
IT SNOWFLAKE OF COMMUNITY

After an extensive remodeling
project, The Lake Shore Dairy
building now ranks as one of the
most attractive in the city. Stu
ated as it is at the eastern end
of Fourth Street, the dairy is now
one of the show places of Port
Clinton. ...:
Among the many improvements
added in recent months is the
first floor office and the customers
and statesmen room. Modernistic
appointments are used to advan-
tage in these rooms.
White stucco has been used eff
fectively to beautify the front of
the building. Presenting solid
white front, almost severe in it's
simplicity, the Lake Shore Dairy
building has frightened the entire
community.
Anyone passing the dairy plant
on Fulton street in the evening
cannot fail to notice the newly
painted and enlarged exterior of
the building with the company
name made prominent by the new
flood light.
But what many of us did not
know until we made an inspec-
ton trip with Manager William
Spayd was that The Lake Shore
firm has recently completed an
elaborate modernization and new
equipment project throughout the
interior Of the plant.
AS result of the program, the
Lake Shore Dairy's building and
equipment have been approved as
a Grade A milk processing plant
complying with the requirements
of the Grade A Ordinance of the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice.
A new office has been added to
the south side of the building for
the convenience of the public and
of the Lake Shore driver-sales-
men. The Company's wholesale
and retail milk and ice cream
truck fleet has been enlarged with
new delivery trucks of the latest
type.
In the milk processing depart
ment, a greater processing ca

EXPERT COMING
HERE TO CHECK
Sewer PUZZLE
East End Overload Problem
May Be Solved BY
Thorough Check

An expert from Toledo will be
brought here in the near future
to check the entire east end sewer
system. in an effort TO ascertain
who or what is causing the over
loaded condition at the east end
lift station.
Decision to bring the expert
here was made at council meeting
Tuesday evening when Carleton
Finkbeiner, Toledo consulting en-
gineer, met with the council to
discuss the troublesome situation.
Finkbeiner told council that the
east end lift station is only a
temporary system, installed pri-
marily for usage during the war
years
Plans are being completed for
the proposed sanitary sewer sys-
tenn, and Finkbeiner added that
large lift station is included in
these plans.
The state legislature recently
approved an anti-pollution law
which forbids dumping sewage
into lakes or rivers, and which
eventually will force all cities to
have sewage disposal systems.
Finkbeiner said that there is no
provision for state or federal aid
for the construction of the dis
posal plants.
Under the present city laws, it
is illegal to use the sanitary sew
er for foundation, plant process
or surface water drainage. Off
cials believe that someone is us
ing the system illegally as over
loads are tremendous.
Mr.. Finkbeiner told council that
it is not a good policy to permit
foundation or any other water
into the system until the trouble
is discovered.
