on the trial run Of the 70I
Astrojet. 1t was a great thrill
particularly since the pilot die
things he normally would moi
have done-such as going into
mild "2-G" dive and idli.,e
all four jet engines.
The 45-minute flight was oul
first experience with jet air.

considerable hours in conven-
tional planes and even few ir
blimps.
Incidentally, along with us on
the flight was Charles Thobaben
of 1411S Shaw ave. He is assist

DOWN TO EARTH. Prior to
our sojourn into the wild blue
yonder, we were the guests of
Albert Luxenberg of the House
of Luxenberg at the opera. With
us were Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Hanson, newly arrived from
Cincinnati. Hanson is an execu-
tive Of GE and was recently
transferred to Nela Park.
In getting us to go, our host
burst with pride at what he
thought was an achievement
worthy of equal fame with the
first man in space. He could be
right. Our love for such music
was only little more than our
affection for getting hit by a
truck.
But, once we got by the first
act of Manon Lescaut last
Thursday, it wasn't bad at all.
In fact. we can be coaXed by
"Luxie" to attend the Metropol-
ltan Opera next year.
LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT.
A call from a restaurant near
Mayfair School reports there is
much hard bali playing going on
al the small field near the
school. This is against the law!
That playground is not
equipped to handle such activi-
ties and youngsters playing hard
ball there will endanger the
small ones in the area. 1t is
hoped parents will heed this
warning and instruct their chill
dren accordingly.
All mothers and fathers should
note that the small tike that
would eventually get hit if this
continues in such small area
could we'll be their own.

not usually the place for COM
menting on international affairs,
but we couldn't help shedding a
tear because of the threat to a !
fighting group we always want
ed to run away and join 1--WE set
tied for the United States Ma
rine Corps Unsteady. Still vivid
in our minds are the many
stories of the French Foreign
Legion that spaNed our imagin-
alton.
That this body should be thre-
atened with disbandment leaves
us bewildered. The only consola-
ton is that there are such books
in the library by PC. Wren and
others that will help relive the
adventures of the Foreign Leg
ion long after it has gone.

All this is tribute for his

POLES APART. A news re-
lease from the Ohio Education
Association reports the two
Ohio senators have extremely
different views on the issue of
federal support for public edu-
cation.
The news item says Lausche
is in total opposition to all pro-
posals of federal aid while
Young is strongly supporting
the bill.
The two distinguished states
men also seem to be at odds on
other school matters. One exam-
Pile as reported: Lausche says
teacher and classroom shortages
are "Grossly exaggerated" The
problem within the next few
years will be to find jobs for all
teacher graduates.
Young: "There is a frighten-
ing shortage of classrooms and
of qualified teachers"
Anyone for compromise?
