Newspaper article the other
day had to do with a woman
who had five children whom
we will call Tim, Jim, Larry,
Mary, and, of all things, Quo
Vadis! This is the real name
of the youngest child and we
wonder what prompted mama
to pin this monicker on the
little angel i. s. suppose when
the youngster gets a little
older mama will inquire
Quo vadis, Quo Vadis ?"
TRIP
We are off to Baltimore
and Washington, d. C., this
weekend to attend the an

Editorial Association. During
our visit to Washington, we
will have the opportunity to
meet President Eisenhower

anybody else. No, we won't
ask Mr.. President his opinion
of Joe Mccarthy!
WOW!
According to recent surveys,
there are 1000 new babies

An early riser is a guy who

 For example. in the retail mer- chandising course, after the clients have completed their primary edu- cation, they attend a two months course, as prescribed by the Ma tional Association of Retail Gro cers of America, which is supple mented by a course used by the California adult board of education. This course is designed to cover all phases of retail store work. The course is supplemented with from eight to fourteen films show ing latest retail methods.
 Other courses follow much the same routine in their respective fields. All the trainees live at the center in modern quarters. The center maintains a fine modern kitchen where a regular cook is employed to offer healthful meals.
