200 Delta Tau DeItas
Mark Founding, Honor
Newspaper Members

Nearly 200 Delta Tau Delta fra.
ternity members last night cele-
hrated their 92d founders day
anniversary with a National Press
Club banquet, honoring fraternity
members in the newspaper busi-
ness.
B. M. McKelway, editor of The
Star and principal speaker, told
the group lone of the odd things
about the debate over freedom of
the press is that there is really
no conflict over the idea that a
free press is wholly desirable In
any form of society,""
He pointed out the Constitu-
tions of both the U. S. S.. r. and
the United States guarantee free
dom of the press-but the Russian
guarantee is conditioned on
whether the press serves the best
interests of its own system of
government.
The decision as to what are
the best interests of the people
is left to "a small group who
control the Government and look
on it as the master, not the
servant, of the people" he said.
Can Suppress Issues.
"If the Russian leaders think
it in the interests of the people
to receive just one side of a story,
that's all they receive" Mr.. Nc
Kelway said. IF the leaders
think the people should receive no
information on an issue, none is
printed.
Our idea of freedom of the
press is of press free of control
of the Government, he said. "Our
press is 'controlled'-but con-
trolled by men of every conceiv-
able doctrine.
consequently. our papers never
speak as one voice. but as a null
titude of voices. But from the
babel there is apt to emerge the
truth. 1t is left up to the people
to decide where the truth dwells.
"As long as our press is free
free to place before the people
things they should decide for
themselves-our other freedoms
are protected"
Certificates Presented.
Certificates in recognition of
outstanding work as undergrad
uate members of the fraternity
were awarded Melvin Brenneman,

LUMINOUS POINTER
SHOWS SWITCH

P. w. writes: "Here is a handy
luminous pointer to find the light
switch on the darkest night. I took
an old alarm clock which had a
luminous dial and hands, removed
the minute hand and fastened it on
the wall pointing to the light switch.
I also intend to use the hour hand
and numbers for other switches, and
so on.
Note by I. w. D.: This is a very
good use for a piece of junk, and
you can use the works to turn on
your poultry house lights. / have
used for 10 years or more luminous
plastic switch plate which glows
nicely at night, and which any cleo
trician can get for you. Now / want

Note by I. W. D-This method as
described would be OK for a tenn
porary repair, but the window could
not then be opened. This trouble
could be avoided by forcing the
sagged member up into place, plac-
ing about a three-inch strip on the
outside of the sagged member and
fastening it solidly to the side mem
Der at the ends and then putting
shorter screws through this strip
and into the sagged member

when he walks under it. Fasten the
line solidly at one end, then tie the
other end to a screen door spring as
shown.
AS these springs are not strong
enough to carry the weight of a line
of wet clothes without dangerous
sagging, I ran the end of the line
past the spring and tied it to the
hook also, leaving enough slack so
the spring could stretch about one
fourth its length before the slack was
taken up. With this arrangement, the
line can be pulled down for easily
hanging the clothes, but be pulled
up out of the way when empty"

SALT PUTS OUT GASOLINE
FIRE

'The other day our car caught fire
due to gas leakage from the car
buretor. Fortunately we had small
sack of common table salt among
our groceries and this did effective
work in putting out the fire. Now /
am convinced that a small sack of
table salt is the best and cheapest
kind of fire extinguisher a person
can carry in the car trunk at all
times. w. P. S.
Note by I. w. D.-This seems like
a good suggestion, except that dry
salt has a bad habit of absorbing
moisture and caking very badly. The
salt should be wrapped in a bag with
waterproof lining, and tied SO the
string can be broken without using
a knife.
