HORSEPLAY INJURES MANY
IN U. S. ARMY IN JAPAN
TOKYO (iP)—The wild west has
come to the Far East, and with fa
tal results.
Fact is, American soldiers car
rying on traditions of Tombstone,
Dodge City and Wyatt in this Or
iental setting are killing each
other. The far east command to
day put it this way:
The largest single cause of acci
dental deaths among occupation
personnel is gunshot wounds with
a total of 55—“many of them in
such horseplay as seeing who
could draw the fastest.”
Half of the optic nerve of a hu
man eye goes to either side of the
brain. In lower animals the entire
nerve crosses over to the opposite
side of the brain.

HIGH SCHOOL
A very interesting movie called
"Time” was shown in the assem
bly late Monday afternoon. It was
ja very educational and scientific
picture showing the interesting
development of the modern watch
from the ancient sun dial. Because
the sun did not shine every day,
, the ancients invented the hour
I glass and water clock. A great step
forward was made in the inven
tion of the escapement which con
trolled the release of stored energy
in a spring.
Several days preceding Thanks
giving vacation, the second six
