FACES TOLD STORY OF 51
LAST YEAR as any other, man had his triumphs, and disasters.
It is a sad but inescapable fact that in the modern world, bad news,
somehow, seems more dramatic than good news. The biggest stories
of recent generations have been about war, fire, explosion, flood,
hurricane, murder and violence. Expressions on the faces below
prove once again that one good picture is worth 10,000 words.

Conservatively speaking, Clem

woe. Voters rejected him as

Nation's 1951 Fish Catch
Was Worth $365 Million
WASHINGTON, (JP) — The
nation s iisnermen hauled a 365
million dollar catch out of the
sea this year, the i*ish and Wild
life Service estimated Sunday.
The total value was approxi
mately the same as that of last
year because of the increased
price oi nsnery products. But the
volume — Viuu.uuo tons — was
auuui, ouu million pounds less
man iiie 1950 catch.
The service said the only major
fishery registering a large in
crease was salmon, which was al
most 200 million pounds higher,
due to a good run of pink salmon
in southeastern Alaska and on
x-uget Sound.
BACK IN SERVICE
KEARNEY, Neb., (/P) — Ben
Kimball, of Lexington, wanted a
pair of surplus Army trousers. He
got just what he was looking for
in a store here.
The trousers fit so well they
felt familiar. Kimball looked at
the Army serial number written
inside the trousers — K6481, his
number when he was in the ser
vice during World War II.
It was the same pair he turned
in at Camp Atterbury, Ind., when
he was discharged in 1945.
Men seldom find anything
amiss with a pretty Miss.

Lightning Flashes
PITTSFIELD, Mass. (JP)— The
General Electric Laboratories
here have turned up some inter
esting facts in their studies with
artificial lightning.
In the first place, lightning
bolts don’t come from the blue,
and those lightning flashes don’t
hit the earth. Actually they jump
skyward at a rate of about 18,000
miles per second. It could go
three-quarters of the way around
the world while you said “Look
out!”
It works like this: As a light
ning charge is being built up in
the clouds, an opposite charge is
building up on earth. The stroke
