“Anniversary Rain”
TULSA. Ok la. <jP> — An “an
niversary rain” promised by Tulsa's
anonymous “rainmaker” dampen
ed and cooled Tulsa Thursday.
The U.S. Weather Bureau report
ed nearly half an inch of rain fell
in showers during the night. The
rains, accompanied by northerly
winds, sent temperatures plung
ing from a high of 104 — a record
for Aug. 28 — to an overnight low
of 72.
The shower activity began a
little more than 12 hours after
the “rainmaker” started his secret
process.
The “rainmaker” agreed to this
effort because it was a year ago
that he publicly announced a “rain
making” attempt. Since then he’s
claimed six rains in six tries —
including one record 9-inch de
luge.

Police Seek Sadist In
Connection with Murders
NEW YORK UR — One of two
career girls stabbed to death in
their fashionable apartment was
alone in the suite and sleeping in
the nude before she was killed,
police said Thursday.
They said tht unclad girl was
Janice Wylie, 21, a Newsweek
editorial employe.
The indication was that she was
slain first and that her roommate,
Emily Hoffert, 23, was killed when
she returned to the apartment
about that time.
The body of Miss Hoffert, who
was to have begun a teaching
career next month, was fully
clothed.
Both victims were bound hand
and foot. Police sought a sadist
but the clues were scarce.
Three blood-stained kitchen
knives were found in the apart
ment. The suite was in shambles,
evidence that the girls had put
up a fight, police said.

Millions of American youngsters will soon be heading back
to school. From the pager of the Encyclopedia Americana,
here are some facts about our nation’s educational system
that may be new to you.
In 1636, the Colony of
Massachusetts allotted 400
pounds (about $1100), to
establish a school of higher
learning, two years later,
a clergyman named John
Harvard died and be
queathed his library to the
new school—which politely
took his name —“Harvard."
For 60 years, it was the
only institution of higher
learning in the Colonies.
In 1960, California alone
spent over $724 million
dollars on education.
Boston, Cradle of Liberty,
claims several American
educational “firsts.” Bos
ton Latin School, the first
grammar school was es
tablished in 1635 —and
the first public High
School opened in Boston
in 1821. New York City
quickly followed suit
with a public High School
in 1825.
First school to admit
women was Oberlin
College of Ohio in
1833. However, women
students were kept
segregated from their
male counterparts —
could not even become
eligible for degrees
until 1 837. Today,
1,469,000 coeds trod
academic halls.

] National Honor
! The Boss Day ?
By Hal Boyle
NEW YORK tP — Some one has
made the suggestion that, since,
we have a national holiday for
labor, we should have a national
holiday for management, too.
Sounds fair enough, doesn’t it?
If we have a national hot. dog
month, a national week in which
to ponder the juicy virtues of the
dill pickle, certainly we can all
pause in our tasks long enough to
celebrate a national honor the boss
day.
Bosses could use a little encou
ragement, some heartfelt apprecia
tion, an annual pat on the back.
The employer class has been
taking it on the chin for some
time now. Caught between the de
mands for increased pay by un
ions, and demands for increased
profits by stockholders, many a
lonely company president has
wondered whether his split-level
yaten was worth the price of it all.
This is particularly true since
the government has begun even
to question his right to use the
yacht except when he can prove
he is employing it for the sole pur
pose of fishing for more company
business.
If the idea of a national day to
celebrate the role of management
in the economy catches on, many
will be puzzled just how to observe
11.
What is the best way to honor
the boss?
Well, since the worker abstains
from work on Labor Day, it would
appear that management should
be allowed to refrain from man
aging on national management
day.
Here are a few tips on how any
office staff can make the boss feel
they realize he is important to the
firm’s endeavor, and that beneath
his gruff exterior there beats an
honest heart:
First, put gin in the office water
cooler to help generate a friendly,
relaxed atmosphere.
Wrap his swivel chair in gay,
colorful bunting.
Everybody take a voluntary 15
per cent pay cut for this one day.
Insist that he stand at the head
of the line during both the first
and second morning coffee breaks.
As soon as his cup runeth o’er,
everybody sit in a circle on the
floor while the boss tells how much
he missed the good old days when
he worked 64 hours a week for the
firm for $3.50.
It is now 10:50 a.m. It is time
to hand the boss his golf clubs,
thump him fondly between the
shoulder blades and tell him, “take
the rest of the day off, chief. Happy
putting.”
Then all the employes rush to
their desks and work like beavers
doing all the jobs they should have
done last week. With no boss
around to bother them, they should
be finished by noon — in time
to go out and join him en masse
on the 8th tee.
National honor the boss day? It’s
a grand idea. Why hasn’t anybody
thought of it before? What’s good
for the boss can be even better
for the bossed.

LESSONS IN RELIGION
Having created the world and
all the livelh and moveth there
in, He, through the direct
operation of His unconstrained
and sovereign will, chose to con
fer upon man the unique dis
tinction and capacity to know
Him and to love Him . . .
Noble have I created thee,
wherefore do thou abase thyself.
— Baha'i Holy Script
The planets, the sun and stars,
the infinite wonders of the cre
ated universe are completely con
trolled by fixed unchangeable
natural laws. Man’s powers are
greater then natures. Man is a
superior creation because nature
is devoid of reason or imagination
yet man has these qualities. Man
is a superior creation because of
his spiritual qualities. The attri
butes of God are reflected in Man.
Man was created in the image of
God with positive qualities. Only
realities are positive. Darkness,
ignorance and death are the ab
sence of the positive realities light,
knowledge and life and have no
real existence in themselves. Could
you know knowledge through ig
norance? Evil represents the ani
mal condition of man. or the lack
of development of his human
(positive) qualities such as love,
mercy, justice, knowledge, pa
tience, forgiving, honorable and
compassionate. Many times the
lack of these qualities can make!
us rich, powerful and successful
in the physical world. But you
can’t take it with you. The Pro
phets of God have all taught that
it is the spiritual qualities that we
have developed in this life which
we will have need of in our fu
ture existence.

Serve it in Style
Want to brighten family or
company moods on a gloomy day?
Make your next meal-any meal
—an “occasion.” Eye appeal is
the secret. Whatever food you’re
serving, serve it in style.
Start on a gay note-a bright,
wipe-clean tablecloth or perky
place mats—to be mirrored in
your shiniest serving dishes.
Smartly styled holloware in
stainless steel is increasingly
popular with America's host
esses, and for the same reason
that stainless steel flatware has
long been cherished. That just
polished look of stainless lasts
through heaviest wear — or
months of disuse—and needs only
soap and water cleaning!
A tip from Jones & Laughlin
Steel Corporation for making
and serving that perfect cup of
your favorite beverage. Begin
with spotless equipment, so oils
or other residues won’t spoil the
taste. Stainless steel coffee pots,
tea kettles and beverage pitchers
clean easily and their smart good
looks complement any table set
ting.
For a dramatic touch, why not
cook and serve an unusual dish
right on the table in a stainless
steel chafing dish? Keeps food
hot longer, and makes any meal
a memorable one.
