BY the Associated Press

Loans by the world bank in
1856 topped the lf-billion dol
lar mark for the first time in its
l0-year history.

countries represented one Of sew
eral records set this year, the
60-nation bank reported in a
year-end survey Of its activities
Some Of the other new marks
were:
( /. Net income was 1898 mil
lion. a gain Of more than 81
million over 1855.
2. The bank added S15.5 mil
lion to its reserve funds. The
reserves rose to a total OF $3.50
million. a substantial cushion
against losses although thus
far there have been no defaults
in repayment Of world bank
loans.
A sharp increase in the volume
OF lending in Asia was recorded.
Eight loans totaling more than
$3.50 million were made in the
area.
There was a sharp decline,
however. in the extent to which
private banks pooled their funds
with those OF the world bank in
making loans. Private participa-
tion totaled only s6.S million.
less than one-fourth as much as
in 1855.
The decline reflects the dras-
tic tightening Of the money
market during the last year" the

The fire. which broke out
about 3 am. was first noticed
by Miss Frances Menefee. about

like light bulb popping" then
the flames burst out and the
lights and switchboard went
dead.

by using an outside phone in one
wing of the hospital, formerly
known as Eitel Hospital.
Closed Doors Save Many
Nurses got most of the doors
on the second floor closed, saw
ing many patients from suffocat-
ing. The deaths occurred on the
third floor of the brick structure.
On the top floor a dramatic
fight was waged by two nurses,
Mrs. Cecilia Janick and Mrs.
Barbara BRASIL, for the lives of
"a half dozen babies.
Water-soaked diapers were put
over the infants faces to keep
them from inhaling the deadly
smoke. Occasionally the women
stuck their own heads out the
window to gasp some fresh air.
Real, genuine heroes Police
Chief E. l. Walling described
the pair.
The hospital showed few scars
from the outside as freezing
drizzle and snow fell. Inside,
however. the lobby was a charred
jungle of ruin. the twisting STAIR

problem of obtaining volume, while
at the same time establishing a

stage in economic development. He
stated that marketing is generally
considered inadequate by the pro-

to the lack of understanding by
people as to what a good market
is.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

Because Mars is closer to the earth this year than it has been since 1924, 32 years ago, everyone should make an effort to locate this planet. In the early evening hours at seven or eight o'clock it is in the southeastern sky. Later in the evening, at ten or eleven, it is in the southern sky and just below the constellation called the Square of Pegasus. Mars is in di- rect line with the first two stars of the square" and at distance below it equal to one side of the constellation.
 The canals on Mars do not be- gin to appear until the snows start to melt and they are always in the same position each season. The land is then moistened with water. This process starts near or around the melting polar caps and gradually moves down to- ward the equator This water re- quires about 55 days to reach the equator, vegetation springing Up along the way.

Quality, Not Quantity, Is Watchword of Army Enlistment Program

SEATTLE-Quality, not quan- tity, is the watchword in the US. Army enlistment program, re- cruiting officials said here recent ly.
 In emphasizing this point, the Army has heartily endorsed a recent resolution of the American Bar Assn. protesting the practice of certain judicial officers of giv- ing convicted miscreants the al- formative of enlisting in the armed forces to escape prosecu- ton or imprisonment for civil crimes.
 In line with this resolution, the Army is changing it's enlistment regulations to further pinpoint the demarkation between the eli gibility of youths to wear the hon. ored uniform of the military ser vice and those who are not en- titled to enlist.
 The Army does not consider the youthful offender or juvenile de- linquent a criminal, however, and has definiately opened the way for boys who have "been in trouble"
