Standard Oil In
College Grant

The Board of Directors of The
Standard Oil Company (Ohio) has
approved another grant of S35, 900
to the Ohio Foundation of Inde-
pendent Colleges, according to to-
days announcement by Chairman
A. A. Stambaugh.
This is the fourth successive year
that Soho has made a grant of
this size to the OFIC for a total of
$4,000.
Included in this grant, which is
applicable to the 1856 school
year, are scholarship fees for win
ners of five additional Sohio schol-
arships for the sons and daughters
of Soho people, to be determined
early next year. The OFIC will
distribute the balance of funds
among member colleges as in the
past.
The approval of this grant places
the Soho Scholarship Plan on a
continuing four-year basis, with
five scholarships awarded annual
ly. Winners of the first Soho
scholarships, awarded in 1852, will
be entering their senior year next
fall.
AS in previous years, the five
new Soho scholarships will be
granted to Soho students entering
any of the member colleges in the
Ohio Foundation of Independent
Colleges, which includes Antioch
College, Ashland College, Bluff
ton College, Capital University,
Defiance College, Denison Univer-

hazards and in determining the
chemical needs of all soils for the
improvement of agricultural pro-
duction.
Although some basic soil inven-
tory of Ohio's lands has been car
ried on on farms by the u. S. Soil
Conservation Service, the speeded
up program of the Lands and Soils
Division since its activatiOn in
1852 has increased the rate of pro-
gress approximately 500 per cent.
Division soil technicians are now
inventorying Ohio's soil resources
at the rate of over three complete
counties each bienium.
Assuming that the present soil
inventory contributions of the u.
S. Soil Conservation Service and
the Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station, with whom the Division
is cooperating, remain at the pres
ent rate, it is estimated that this
tremendous job can be completed
in approximately 1813 years.
Progress in this vital program
can best be measured by compar-
ing accomplishments in the six
years Immediately preceding the
establishment of the Department
of Natural Resources in 1949, with
the basic soil inventory accomp-
lishments during the six years
from 1949 to 1854. According to
John Ferguson, chief of the Lands
and Soils Division and the master
mind behind the program, from
1914 to 1913 approximately 901
square miles of Ohio land and soil
were inventoried. However, since
the activation of the Department,
1928 square miles of Ohio land
has been inventoried.
A most important part of this
program is making the informa-
ton obtained available to the pub
lie, and the Division is making
published reports and maps as
speedily as possible following the
survey. During the two years per-

Handicapped Week
Set October 80

COLUMBUS, O., With the SOL
EN- reminder that Jobs for the han
dicapped are a national necessity"
Governor Frank J. LauSche today
signed a proclamation setting a
side the Week of October 3-9, 1854,
as National Employ the Physical
ly Handicapped Week in Ohio.
Governor Lausche, in signing the
proclamation, paid special tribute
to the work of the Governors S
Committee, a group of public
spirited citizens headed by Will
liam L. Dole of Cincinnati. The
Governor explained that this COM
mittee had been appointed and
charged with the specific duty of
directing and promoting the activ-
tiles of some forty local commit
tees which for years have been
conducting an intensive effort to
promote the employment of the
handicapped throughout Ohio.
In commenting on the plans for
mulated by the Committee, the
Governor said they were good"
and continued:
1T has long been my convict
ion that our economy is material
ly strengthened by the employ
ment of the physically handicap
ped. It improves our society and
it YIELDS our entire social Struct-
ure into a stronger unit: It is my
belief that every citizen is moral
ly obligated to aid the physically
handicapped worker in securing
employment It is needless to add
that such aid must be given every
day of the year"
Ohio employers also came in
for word of praise from Cover
nor Lausche. He said that their
employment policies have enabled
Ohio to become one of the leading
states in the placing of the handi-
capped, both veteran and non-
veteran.
The governor also said that all
state department personnel Off
GERS have been instructed to give
qualified handicapped persons an
opportunity to compete on an
equal basis where suitable open
ings exist. Handicapped persons
are not to be refused this equal
opportunity on the basis of han
dicap. Every person, handicapped

Radio-C Control Planes
To Be Elite Event Of
Model Air Show

The elite event Of model air.
craft flying, the radio-control
event, is drawing a large num-
Der Of entries for the ninth Ma
tional Capital Model Air Show.
to be held Sunday at Andrews
Air Force Base.
The show, considered by mod
elers to be one of the best in
the country, will get under way
promptly at 8 am, with flying
stopping at 4::30 pm.
Already 20 entrants have
signed up for the radio-control,
most of them from out of town.
This is an unusually heavy adj
vance registration and each days
mail is now swelling the total.
There are around SO mem
bers Of the radio control club in
Washington alone. and most Of
them are expected to sign up by
Saturday or register at the field.
This particular event calls for
technical skills appealing to
those Of more mature age. In
fact. there is only one really
youthful Class A contestant,
Thomas Montzka, 1885 Forty
sixth street NV, who is II.
Most of the others are over 80.
The planes are equipped with
radio receivers activated by q
shortwave transmitter. The re-
ceiver operates the elevators and
permits the contestant to take
his plane through a series Of
maneuvers, including a straight
line flight, q rectangle and a
figure 8.
At the conclusion of its fight,
the plane is directed toward a
target consisting of q series Of
circles within circles, beginning
with q 100-foot circle and ending
with a bulls-eye. Closeness to the
bulls-eye partly determines the
score for the operator.
The planes are somewhat
| larger than control-line speed
| planes. Together with their
radio equipment, they represent
an investment Of $50 to $75 each.
Local entrants include Robert
F. Trainer, James Trent, jr.; Leo
c. Miller, T. j. Bedford and
Don Clark.
The radios control event is
sponsored by the Chevrolet deal
ers Of Metropolitan Washington,
associated in the show with the
National Capital Model Air Show,
Inc, which has three trustees
each from The Star, the Vet
Grams Of Foreign Wars and the

through gradual change In de-
sign. From the loose, loungey,
broad shouldered, loose wasted
jackets and the full-cut wider
knees and bottoms of trousers, the
silhouette has been working to-
ward a trimmed. more dressy APP
pearance, to the point that today
a style garment carries a more
natural shoulder, a straighter,
longer line and trimmer effect,
creating a dressier tone.
The ultimate design Of the suit
of today is radically different than
the one Of ten years ago. Not only
are the shoulders narrower, the
lapels are trimmed. the chest more
natural. and the trousers tapering
now to a heater line to the shoe.
In keeping with this dressier sill
houette. the change in fabric de-
sign and pattern has also taken
place. To begin with, mems suit
coloring are most popular in dark
tones. Charcoal grey has become
one Of the wanted shadings. Char
coal blended into deep blues and
into deep shades OF brown have a
great appeal for a dressy appear
ance. Patterns. too, are on the
neat side-basically no bold ideas
but more so little pin dots and
hairlines to stay in character with
the new silhouette in model and
deep dressy tones OF colors.
II Is to be noted that this mark
ed change has lent itself toward a
greater acceptance OF single
breasted jackets-both in two
and three button. The double
breasted coat is lacking In pop
ularity, The single breasted
models allow the wearer to touch
up his outfit with a colorful
