BIG FLAME IS BEACON
~ A w • * ' *
LONG BEACH, Calif., {&)—'The
Calstate Refining Co. here doesn’t
have any trouble with its huge
open gas flame until workmen
turn it off.
The big torch, seen for miles
at night, burns off surplus gasses
from the plant. On rare occasions
when the flame doesn’t burn, the
plant and local police station are
swamped with telephone calls
with the complaint: “The torch
is out.”
The flame is also a marker for
pilots who’ land at Long Beach
Air Terminal, a company official
said.
EVEN THE KITCHEN SINK!
YAKIMA, Wash., {^ — Burg
lars who ransacked a ranch home
apparently never had heard the
expression, “They took everything
but the kitchen sink.”
Byron B. Biehn, ranch owner,
reported to sheriff’s deputies he
had not visited the unoccupied
house for two weeks. When he
did, he said, he found missing a
harrow plow, heating stove, spray
pump,—and the kitchen sink.

Again we are approaching test
week and students are pursuing
their work with added diligence.'
We get no more out of our work
than we put into it. Thus we can
control to a great extent our own
achievements. By cultivating hab
its of industry and concentration,:
we Can considerably improve our
scholastic standing: The kind erf
records we make are permanent1
also and often determine our
destiny in future years. College
entrance requires a transcript or
copy of what we did in school. Far
more important, however, than
recorded grades is the basic moral'
training which a disciplined mind
receives from honest, sincere
work.
Numerous verbal problems in
cluding interest and time, rate,
distance problems, have kept the
students in Algebra I busy.
The TJ.S. history class has been
studying World War I. Other in
teresting topics following the war,
have been on the League of Na

immigration laws, and the Wash

Weather Man’s Day Off
STRATFORD, Wis., {IF)—A ret
icent stranger dropped out of the
sky Thursday took a snooze at a
local hotel and then dropped out
of town.
He left behind an open para
chute with unidentified instru
ments attached, yards of plastic
material taken to*'be a deflated
balloon, and scores of gaping
townfolk. *
The blossoming mystery was
nipped in the bud Thursday night
when an official of General Mills,
Inc., at Minneapolis identified the
sky traveler as one of the firm's
weather researchers on a bus-,
man’s holiday.
Charles Moore, in charge of
balloon work for the Aeronauti
cal Division of General Mills, said
the employee—Nick Green—had
taken an unauthorized jailnt in a
weather balloon on his day off.
