Resident Of Greece Writes
Nixon Asking For New Car
WASHINGTON, May 21 — UP—
What's new around Washington:
Vice President Richard M. Nixon
gets a lot of mail — about 250
letters a day. One of them came
from Greece asking if he could
spare a car, and if he could, would
he please sent it to Greece'.' The
young man who wrote said he
wanted to get into the taxicab bus-
iness. Nixon wrote back and said
that he has only one car and that
he was sorry, his wife, Pat, uses
it most of the time.
The other senator from Wiscon-proved a series of minor Senate
sin. Sen. Alexander Wiley, is right-
ly proud of the memento he got
from the White House. When Pres-
ident Eisenhower signed the St.
Lawrence seaway bill, the chief
gave the senator one of the pens
he used in signing it to put in his
trophy case. Wiley long backed
the bill.
Neptunite Floor and Trim
Varnish gives an extra mar
gin of protection—without
additional cost! It's so tough
that it lasts and lasts under
hard daily use. Will not turn
white or even scratch white.
Excellent for floors, wood-
work and furniture.
A young man named Dennis
Serpone of Bedford, Ma., wrote
into the Civil Aeronautics admin-
istration, and said he would like
to put in his bid for the first trip
to the moon. Dennis said he was
41, and asked if the CAA would
please hurry. "I may be too old
before you get around to it," said
Dannis.
The CAA got another letter from
a young man who said he had
flunked the first grade and also
the fourth. "Will this awful thing
keep me from getting into the Air
Force?" he asked.
revisions In House bills it had spon
sored a series of minor Senate
"The senators just had to do some-
thing, didn't they? I am almost
tempted to tell them if they can't
take 'em the way they are they
can't have anything. I hope we've
got a Senate bill here we can
amend." The committee didn't, at
the moment. It will later, though.
Members of the House Armed
Services committee were com-
plaining that Defense Secretary
Charles E. Wilson, in asking for
$330 million to build homes for ser-
vicemen's families, didn't provide
any details. Somebody suggested
that the committee ask Wilson
about this. "Mr. Wilson may an-
swer," Rep. L. Mendel Rivers
i D-S. C.i said with a grin, "that
what's good for the Defense De-
partment is good for Congress."
This got a laugh. The committee
will ask for the details anyway.

Employment For College
Graduates On Increase
WASHINGTON, May 22—UP—
There are untold Job opportunities
for this year's thousands of college
graduates, Secretary of Labor
James P. Mitchell said Saturday.
He made his statement in an
"open letter" to all prospective
graduates and accompanied it with
an analysis of job opportunities.
Here is the way he sees the out-
look:
ENGINEERING
There will be good opportunities
for years because there has been
a continuing shortage which induc-
tions into the Armed Services have
intensified.
NATURAL SCIENCES
Demand is high, especially in
activities related to defense pro-

those with graduate training but
those with bachelor degrees will
find jobs in most fields.
CHEMISTS
Opportunities are greatest in
manufacturing such as chemicals,
petroleum, rubber, food and paper.
PHYSICISTS
The defense program has greatly
increased the need for physicists,
particularly those with advanced
training. Opportunities are especial-
ly good in nuclear physics, elec-
tronics, quantum theory, atomic
and molecular physics.
EARTH SCIENTISTS
Geolotists and geophysicists are
needed especially in the petroleum
and mining industries. Oceano-
graphers capable of carrying on re-
search also are in great demand.
TEACHING
Demand for elementary school
teachers continues to be greater
than the supply. About 45.000 new
teachers will be available this year
but this is far below the number
needed. At the high school level
the supply has dropped each year
since 1950. Salaries of teachers con-
tinue to increase.

How the telephone
helped his mother find Johnny
Never before had Johnny been this
late coming home from school. Usually
he rr «Hp it in about half an hour.
But here it was a full hour after
school and still no sight of Johnny. His
mother kept going to the door to look
up the street.
Finally she went to the telephone,
started calling other mothers. On the
fourth call, she found him. He had
stopped to play with his pal, Robbie.
Johnny's mother had some anxious
minutes but the telephone came to her
rescue in this minor emergency.

Most of us take the telephone for granted, lt is only when minor emer-
gencies come up that we realize just how valuable the telephone is.
A large part of its value is that your telephone stands by faithfully
night and day, ready to put you in touch with other people —twice as
many as had telephones just a few short years ago.
Do you recall an experience similar to that of Johnny's
mother, where the telephone helped you? Won't you write
and tell me ubout it{ 1 hunks. Ci.yde Shiblky, Manager
