ard said that the ship rolled
about like a cork. Glad we
missed that one.
We make reference here to
three fine gentlemen from
Rockford, Illinois Mr.. Bauer,
Mr.. Turner and Mr.. Tegland.
All three are executives of a
large manufacturing company
in Rockford and are on their
way to Hanover, Germany, for
the Industrial Fair being held
there. Tegland has been in
South America for several
years while Turner has been
all over the world. Bauer is
making his first trip. These
fellows join up with our
group and we all have veri-
table circus together. We all
promise to keep in touch,
and arrange to meet when
they get to England later on.
And so the hours roll by
and it won't be long until we
touch land at Cherbourg,
France, to disembark passen-
gers going to Paris and 9TH
er points on the continent. We
will continue on from there
and go in to Southampton by
way of the Isle of Wight. 1t
is only 90 miles from Cher
bourg to Southampton so we
will get in to port in the early
afternoon. Mrs. Fisher is leav-
ing us at Cherbourg and we
get up early to see her off.
About half the passengers get
off here and it is a mighty job
to get them safely off by
lighter since the harbor is not
deep enough to allow the ship
to dock. Soon we are on our
way though and next stop is
England. See you in South
ampton! Have to pack up and
say goodbye to all our friends!

SO Years With
n. c. Association

AT a meeting of the North Gen.
trail Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools held in Chicago
April 9-13, 1856, London High
School was unanimously retained
on the approved list of the associ-
alton, according to j. j. Hartley,

In report to the North Central
Association of High Schools and
Colleges it was pointed out that
London High School offers 81 diff
ferent subjects to students in the
upper four grades. Each day Sc
high school classes meet for in
struction under Is different teach
ers. Besides the 96 academic class
es that meet each day many extra
curricular activities, such as sports,
music, clubs, etc, are also offered
for student participation.
Mr.. Hartley said This disting-
uished reward of merit is most
gratifying to the community es-
specially at this time when high
schools are being brought under
more strict policies, regulations
and criteria for the approval of
secondary schools. The recognition
and honor which the school has
received again assures each grad
uating student of London High
School that he or she is eligible
for acceptance in any college with
out taking a college entrance ex-
animation, unless the same is re-
nIlired hv all entering students"

State Network Is
Planned June |

Ohio has become the first state
in the nation to utilize television in
police communications, according
to an announcement received from
the Ohio Department of Highway
Safety.
The pilot show, telecast utiliz-
ing a clr1era and monitor-re-
ceiver, sent auto licensing and reg
istration data from the Bureau Of
Motor Vhicles to the headquarters
of thc Highway Safety Depart
ment. TIE system will 60 into full
use aLJ9. June /.
Dir2cto" u. c. Felty said We
are thrilled to be the first state in
the nation to inaugurate this new
method of police communication.
It's possibilities are almost unlimit-
ed and would include the transmits
sion of factual data, police line
ups, bad checks and suspicious doc
uments. personal photos and inter-
nal revenue department docu-
ments. 1t would also be useful in
civil defense, in emergency and
disaster areas and for police
weather work"
News of the proposed police T'V
network broke last January when
the Ohio officials called on the
chairman of the FEC in Washing
ton. Though some opposition has
been expressed to the plan by
those who claim it is an expensive
toy, Felty and Col George Mingle
of the patrol are convinced and
have convinced others of the value
of the network.
