lovely widow. No one is more
delighted at this outcome than
the professors two oldest
friends, his housekeeper> Katy

Vanoss made a perfect Katy

Act II telling the story of the

was enhanced by the comedy
of college youths of the year

SWenson, Harry JabS and Ken
Fox played these young SWANS,
the closest friends of the bud
ding professor, Jerry Gaylord.
Tom zelka played the ambi-
tious father who succeeded in
persuading the unselfish Jerry
to give up Bett Lou. Donna
Pitsch made a very pretty old
love, who apparently could not
shake Jerry's devotion to Bet

At the time she was picked up
she was wearing only a short

have not made a statement on
whether or not the woman had
been drinking. Her husband is an

There have been no outbreaks
of either locust in the years
since cooperative efforts of the
various governments in the areas
have been in effect.
The method is to send in
spectors into the breeding
grounds. Those inspectors from
time to time will scrape UP the
soil from an area of a square
yard. They will count the To-
Gusts in it. From previous ex-
perience they know that when
the count reaches a certain
number per square yard in a
given area there is danger Of
an outbreak. Then crews move
in with poisons and other con-
troll weapons.
The battle against the desert
locust Is still a matter of def
nitely locating the breeding
grounds. An organization called
the Desert Locust Survey. with
headquarters in Nairobi. Africa,
is carrying on the work. It is
financed principally by the gov
ernments Of Great Britain, IN
dia and Pakistan. but all gov
ernments affected contribute to

The locusts, at any rate, gen.

Just few at first. then more

millions. Suddenly. for some

Some swarms fly to the east

follow no definite path, often
going where winds carry them.
In India they may follow the

not necessarily.
Sometimes. according to the

A classic case is a swarm seen
1900 miles at sea, heading
straight for nowhere.
The insects light to feed and
