THERE'S NO SUCH BIRD
IN THESE PARTS
PORT WASHINGTON, N. Y.—'
(AP) — Your local ornithological |
correspondent discovered during a |
stroll & bird the likes of which he :
never had seen before.
't was a small bird, grey all
over except for glaring white
cheek patches and a bright pink
bill,
S 0 your correspondent telephon
ed a man at the National Audubon
Society: it was a new one on him
too. The same with an-expert at
the American Museum of Natural
History. But enlightenment finally ’
came from Lee Crandall at the
New York Zoological Society.
“That,” he asserted, “must have
becn a gray Java sparrow.”
Seems that gray Java sparrows
fnnabit American bird cakes as
well as the island of Java, and
that this one doubtless had es
caped.

EVERYBODY KEEPS WARM
PORTLAND, Ore.—(AP)—The
shape of your body does not inter
fere with your keeping warm and
comfortable. Not that anyone
ever doubted this, but the question
bothered heating engineers be
cause they could not prove it. l
The proof.was reported to the
American Society of Heating and
Ventilating Engineers here by
Professors F. W, Hutchinson, Uni
versity of California, and Merl
Baker, University of Kentucky.
They made measurements of how
a dummy—five meet eleven inches
tall, weighing 165 pounds—absorbs
heat and then calculated the other I
shapes.

Fiscal year 1952 will go down as the year of the biggest peacetime military spending
in U. 8. history. Whatever the final figure approved by Congress—now considering a
committee-approved $56 hillion budget—military costs are certain to exceed the $45
billion spent in 1946 as the aftermath of World War 11. The Newschart above com
pares current spending with that of the past several years. Congressional experts
on military affairs warn that even the $56 billion may fall short of this year’s de
mands, and that requests for more funds will come from the armed forces before
June 30, 1952. Newscharts below show fund break down among three major services,
as contemplated by the House Appropriations Committee. Figures do not include
amounts allotted to the office of Secretary of Defense, the National Security Resour
ces Board or the National Security Council. Neither do they cover military aid for
our ];zi]lies nor the cost of an armed forces program of building bases around the
world. :

Georgia high schools, like other |
organizations, are going to have to
do more than “business as usual”
as long as the national emergency
exists.
That was the word of warning
to Georgia high school principals
as they closed their first annual
three-day work conference at the |
University of Georgia. i
Varnedoe Advice
John Varnedoe, Savannah, pres-‘,
ident of the Georgia High Schoo]‘
Principals Association, advised his
fellow principals to begin to shiftl
academic interest in their schools, |
at least partally, to the new sub—i
jects that students are going to
need when they leave school. i
Varnedoe described “business as
usual” in schools as a prescribed |
quota of English, algebra, and La- |

The “Isolated” sale of automobilc:
is taxable when sold to a user.
There is no provision in the

for such an exemption.
Information has been handed ¢

on which no tax has been collect
