The question of The World Cal
endar, prepared by The World Cal
endar Association, Inc, a nom
profit organization, is scheduled to
come before the United Nations in
September. AS the organization
has favorable interest in Al coun-
tries of the world, it claims excel
lent prospects for ultimate success.
The World Calendar is urged
from the point of view that it
would save millions and millions
of dollars annually, aside from it's
vast potentialities of bringing all
peoples closer together and
strengthening international peace
through the establishment of
"Worldsday."
This new and perpetual calen-
dar, that survived competition Of
more than 500 plans submitted to
the former League of Nations, re-
tains the convenient and easily di-
visible IL months but apportions
their lengths more evenly. 1t re-
arranges the year into equal quar-
ters and halves, removing the in
equalities and irregularities of the
present calendar.
The plan is as follows:
/. Every year begins on Sunday,
/ January.
2. Each quarter year has 3
months or 13 weeks or 81 days.
3. In each quarter: the first
month totals 81 days and begins on
Sunday; the second month of 80
days begins on Wednesday; the
third month also of 80 days begins
on Friday. This arrangement rec
ognizes a harmonious variety.
4. Days and dates always agree
from year to year.
5. Each month has 26 weekdays,
plus Sundays.
6. The week keeps to the famil-
lar order Of days beginning with
Sunday.
7. Months have their irregular
number Of weekdays including
Sundays.
8. Every year has an even So
weeks, plus the one or two new
world holidays.
8. Holidays and anniversaries
are stabilized ON their regular days
and dates.
10. Religious feast days, such as

we still scan the social items first
but that doesn't mean we don't
go into politics and school affairs
later! Stateside news on any kind
is welcome even though it is def
nitely "cold' by the time the
papers reach US. The Stars and
Stripes, unofficial Army paper, is
a small-sized IL to 16-page affair
that is naturally more concerned
with reenlistments, transfers, in
spections, and the like than with
straight news coverage. Of course
we are able to purchase the over
seas edition of The New York
Herald Tribune at army installa-
tions but that means special trip
for a housewife whose husband is
always travelling. 1t is interesting
to note in this connection that the
German people find news scarce in
comparison to American standards
and also fairly expensive. In
Heidelberg, for example, copies of
the papers were posted on bulletin
lboards for all to read :. even our
NStars and Stripes always had a
small knot of people clustered be-
fore it. My German isn't up to
reading newspapers in the Ian
guage yet, particularly since the
news here is written in style
more academic than that used in
ordinary conversation.
We find living overseas exciting,
albeit aggravating at times. AS a
casual observer, | would say that
economic conditions have improved
considerably this last year. We
recently moved to Berlin and I'm
always surprised to see the people

Business goes on apace, even If
only in outdoor shops located in

vegetables are available, rationed
items are now much easier to get

shoes and textiles. Housing, OF
course, will be problem for 8

apartment houses lock so pathetic

dows, and hordes of children play

This short column is dedicated
to all Basketball players and fans.
This Saturday, we start a new
season at basketball play. This

such players and fans must keep
IN mind some of the ideals of the
T. S, ia.
Sports are promoted to create
friendship among clubs. their

be no good derived from long
loud, Doisterous name - calling:

in such unethical abuse of frfee

very purpose for which we en-
gage in sports. To the players,
would like to say this: we want
you to put your best into each
game, but we want it to be free
from any "dirty work.; keep
your heads at all times: the offici-
ais have the last word d-respect
them.

sions Of the Engineers are that
the beaches of the publicly-owned
shore line property in the study
area are now CT adequate width
both for shore line protection and
for recreational use. In other
words, they do not recommend
Federal aid for the protection and
Improvement Of the shores owned
by State, municipal or other polit-
ical subdivisions.
AS to privately owned property,
which would not come under the
purview of existing law, the Dis
trict and Division Engineers have
concluded that "the most economi-
cal and practical method OF pro-
lection against erosion Of such
property is grading and landscap-
ing of the bluffs, revetment of the
toe Of the slope and maintenance
Of the relatively narrow beaches
by means Of short groins."

able to the public for perusal at

IT is pretty wonderful to live in
l country that keeps on and en-
developing. The October Bulletin
of the Department of Commerce,
which has just come across my
desk, states that in 1947 capital
investment in new plant and equip
ment in the United States totalled
$50 billion, an increase Of $50 per
cent over the SIPS billion reported
for 1889. The Bulletin goes on to
say that this most favorably COM
pares with increases Of so per
cent in gainful employment, with
200 per cent increase in value
added by manufacture over the
same period. ..... =,
Ohio, which is one of four states
in Region w (the country is di-
vided into nine regions) was sur
passed only by Kentucky in per-
centage of increase. Kentucky
topped the list with an increase Of
TAT per cent, while Ohio came sec
ond with an increase over 1899 OF
365 percent.
A DVICE has been received from
"A the Public Roads Administra-
tion that Ohio will receive a total
of $17,721,899 for federal road
appropriations in the year 1851.
OF this total, $6,94O,178 will be
for primary roads, $4,O83,O9 for
secondary roads, and $6,698, ,622
for urban roads.
All of this will be good news to
our farmers, because l have been
advised by, the Public Highway
Administration that in making
their selection Of roads to be inn
proved within the secondary, sys-
tenn, the Ohio State Highway De-
partment and county officials have
selected those roads which are
carrying the most farm traffic.

~ from the newly formed coun-

mica have been discovered in the

will indeed be good news for the
