Young vondoIs Cause Considerable Dcmoge To School Building

Quick work by Seward po- licemen discovered the culprits who caused considerable dam- age in the school building Sat urday night.
 Four boys entered the high school building around midnight Saturday, leaving a trail of de- struction that was not discovered until mid morning Sunday. Fire hose had been detached from hangers, water turned on and left running to flood the build ing, causing plaster and floor tiles to become soaked. It is not known yet just what extent the damage may reach. Plaster may fall and if water got under the floor tiles, they will peel off, costing several thousand dollars to replace.
 Supplies of crackers and fruit in the cafeteria were wontonly scattered and destroyed.
 The boys, when apprehended three hours after the police were called in, could give no reason for the escapade except that they had been drinking wine. There isn't anything to do in this town, so we just thought we would work up a little ex- citement of our own," said one.
 Police have not disclosed the name of the adult who supplied the wine, but all of the boys concerned have been in trouble before on similar charges.
 Patro!men state that on pass ing the school at about the time the boys were performing, they saw no evidence of anything wrong.

Always Thinking


Stockily built and with the gleam-
ing eye of a punster perpetually
thinking up his next horror. Heller
announced a standing offer for Mil
ton Berle and anybody else who
fancies himself a fast man with a
gag.
81 will wager 81, 900 nobody can
outpun me-" Heller challenged.
"Berle says there's nothing new in
jokes. Maybe not in his. But get
this: A Ubangi dame got fresh with
her husband. 'Lissen,' he says,
don't give me none of your lip
That's new, that's fresh stuff, all
my own"
Heller, who hacks his own cab
nights, said proudly he can drive a
passenger from South Ferry to Yon-
kers and make a pun practically
every time the dinger I'm e e r.
clicks. without repeating himself.
81 give it to them in continuity"
he declared. Like this: What has
Irene Dunno lately? She went to
Veronica Lake to be near Dinah
Shore where Larry Parks his car,
and she wouldn't have gone, only
Preston Foster. She's a nice girl
who considers Robert Young but
Victor Mature. She don't like fell
lows with boards and says. Isn't
Monte Woolley?'"
Comics Puzzle Him
Sam Katz poked his paw at Heller,
who spared neatly and went on:
81 can tell pretty fast whether a
fare is susceptible to jokes. Some
times it's like batting your head
against a stone wall, so 1 clam right
up"
Passengers entering Heller's char
lot have been startled to hear him
ask: "Why is the floor of a cab like
a restaurant"
Before they can recover, Heller
yak yaks: Cant you see it's an
auto mat?"
professional comedians" Heller
said, puzzle me. They look so sad
when they get into my cab, and
when I give them a good one, they
look sadder."
Heller said his ambition is to
write gags-and get paid for them.
Another fellow and me-" he
said, 'had a chance to get on tele-
vision, but we got sinus trouble.
Nobody would sign U.S."

Elephant Market

Burma's wartime loss of the
dornesticated elephants is still ham,
pering the valuable teakwood in

for ceremonial elephants is re-
ported low since the once ritual

budgets, the general Asiatic de-
mand seems to be holding up.

Life Insurance Investments

Life companies have more in
vested in public utilities than in any
other single type of business or in
dustry. At the end of 1913. they
held 81 billion dollars worth of pub
lie utility bonds-43 per cent of
their investment in corporate secu-
rites, or about one-siXth of their
total assets. OF the total, nearly
8.5 billion dollars was in securities
of United States companies and
255 million dollars in foreign, chief
ly Canadian.

Cheers Up Fares
With Neal Puns

NEW YORK.-For 90 years now
Abe Heller, New York cab driver
has been spouting puns for his pas
sengers every time the meter
clicks.
In fact, his puns have become a
part of his life and of the lives OF
his passengers, too. He even car
ries his puns into his home on w.
64th street where he lives surround
ed by four radios, a television set,
jokebooks and Sam Katz. Sam Katz
is his cat.
81 have heard it stated that the
pun is the lowest form of humor,"
Heller said with great dignity. "But
don't you believe it. The party who
said that vas just jealous.
Say, here's a new one" he
cracked, what chemical do you
get from the telephone company?
The answer is 'nitrates'. Get the

in the domes show great interest

proaches. Unconsciously. they

Create Travel Interest.
These dome cars are creating
an army of vicarious railroaders-
rail fans who wish to know the
why of everything they see. in
cluding signal lights. hand signals
"slow-boards" and the like. Time
may come when railroads will
have to add an information booth
or a tour conductor" in these
cars to appeaSe passengers.

ington are on B. & O.'s Colum-
bian. In the West, Missouri Pa
cif1c, Burlington and others are

New Trains, Tours Feature Rail Vacations

sionally there are movies or other
evening entertainment.
Although rail travel has shown
a drop of about Is per cent in
recent months from 1948 and
l949, the level still is far above
the number of passengers han
died prior to the war. Incl
dentally. the number of Pullman
passengers annually still exceeds
substantially those carried by air
while coach travel. of course, is
infinitely higher than air in
numbers.
A roster of new trains in recent
months includes Southern Pa
cific's daytime Shasta. between
Portland and San Francisco; Wa
bash's streamliner from st. Louis
to Chicago, making a daily round
trip; Baltimore & OhioS coach,
overnight Columbian, from Wash
ington to Chicago; Pennsylvania S
Pullman-and-coach Liberty Linn
tied, in the same run, and its
coach Jeffersonian, New York and
Washington to st. Louis; Atlantic
Coast Line-Florida East Coasts
Florida Special, New York Wash
ington- Miami. and others.
The tendency now is not so
much the creationsof entirely new
trains, but that of gradually re-
placing older cars with modern
ones on all trains. AS fast as new
cars are received they are placed
in various trains, with the result
that one finds various trains
gradually becoming modernized,
car by car.
Diversity of Routes.
From Washington summer
travel by rail radiates in every
direction None is neglected. Rail-
road passenger agents say that
few, if any, Eastern cities have
such a diversity of destinations
which its citizens seek for their
summer outings as has Wash
ington.
Unquestionably, the outStand-
ing innovation of recent years has
been the vista dome car. This, to
the uninitiated, is sort of a super
structure like the cupola in a ca
boose. Seldom is a seat in any OF
these vacant from morning until

There are enough packaged
railroad tours to the West this
summer to give the traveller almost
every conceivable choice of route.
territory and departure date.
And the choice of costs. is pretty
wide, too.
Instead of joining conducted
tour, arranged for large parties,
one may also buy Independent
trips. They follow prescribed
itineraries but provide no cruise
director" and escape group travel,
which some find pleasant. Vir-
tually all Washington travel
agents already have both types of
tours in stock and will arrange
such trips by rail to virtually any
objective their clients wish.
New trains continue to roll
from the builders. and scarcely a
major route is unable to offer
one or more modernistic stream
liners for their patrons. AS each
new train takes the rails it is GUS
tomary to give it a somewhat
faster schedule. The net result
has been a substantial speeding
up of railroad schedules every
where. This is more apparent
when contraSted with prewar
schedules.
Comfort Emphasized.
But railroad managers have
definitely come to realize that if
they are to compete with airlines.
it must be on basis other than
speed. They recognize that even
by chopping off several hours
from a long distance train sched-
ule they cannot approach airline
speeds. Thus, their objective has
been more toward better and
more commodious equipment.
They feel that here, at least, the
airliner can never approach the
train for comfort.
The newer trains are made up
largely of room cars. Some West
ern roads, it is true, have con-
tinued to include a few OPEN
section sleeping cars in their new
trains
Largely, though, the new trains
feature rooms, with the bedroom
Zen suite, if desired and the
roomette the two most popular
types offered.
The newest roomettes, it may
be added. now permit travellers to
retire without backing into the
aisle to lower the bed. Further,
these beds now are nearly 612
feet long.
Even in new parlor cars there
are more rooms. The new ones
on the New Haven have tiny room
cites, large enough for two per-
sons. These have proved highly
popular. When the Pennsylvania
Railroad finally is able to build
new Congressional it will contain
many rooms. Also, the railroad
has plans to restore this to its
one time prestige, the all-parlor
car train, probably with extra fare
and super luxury equipment. Even
now this train carries one all
room car, due to the demand for
such space between New York and
Washington, each way.
The car is actually a sleeping
car, with six compartments and
three drawing rooms. It is one
which generally plies back and
forth in night service, but dou-
bles the road in afternoon. Many
Congressional patrons wish a pri-
vate room for conferences, cards,
meal service and drinks, as well.
The Congo" usually is a sell-out.
Telephones, Too.
This gives a glimpse of the
quality of service which distin-
guiShes many trains of today.
Just like a private club-your own
facilities, with room service. Also,
there's telephone service to any
place in the world. Phones now
are available on major trains of
the Baltimore & Ohio, Southern
Pacific, New York Central, New
Haven and Pennsylvania. Occa-
