Land Grant School
To Play Important
Part After War II
That Land Grant Colleges and
other institutions must be prepared
to teach post war students who
have had experience on the far
flung war fronts of the world,
and who will demand “world mihd-
edness’ in educational policy was
emphasized by Dr. H. L. Walster,
Dean of the North Dakota Agri
culture College, in his talk to the
opening meeting of the American
Association of University Profes
sors Wednesday evening.
Before a .large audience, Dr.
Walster discussed some of the war
and post war problems of educa
tion in' American colleges. He also
urged the extension of our agri
cultural economy in cooperation
with chemists and engineers to a
point where we will not be too
highly dependent upon foreign
products as jute, quinine, and the
like. Agricultural education is fac
ing a crisis in which it must re
evaluate its curricular an establish
agriculture on a more progressive
footing, said Dr. Walster as re
ported by G. J. Samuelson, Asso
ciate Professor of Chemistry.
Dean E. J. Kyle, Dean of Agri
culture, introduced the speaker,
noting his achievements in the
field of agriculture.

He has recently finished “Yankee

Fox, and is now working on a

this winter called “White Orchid.”
After ten years in Hollywood,
Raine says that there is no finer
place on earth. Motion picture peo
ple, both famous and otherwise,
are really hard-working, serious,
responsible people, and the glam
our tales that go into ten-cent
movie magazines are for those
who feel like paying that price for
a little glamour.
When asked about the cast for
the Aggie picture, he said nothing
had been decided, and that several
stars had been considered, but
“There will be plenty of girls,” he
added.

Right to Rate IF Hate Is Neces

clarify the conflict between the
principles which are involved in
the life and death struggle which
the powers of the world are en

Destructive Fires Are Constant
Menace to Our Personal Safety
-SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 1, 1942
LISTEN TO
Destructive fire is a constant
menace ot our personal safety, as
well as the safety of our property,
it is claimed by Marvin Hall, State
Fire Insurance Commissioner.
Calling attention to the destruc
tiveness of fire, whether it be an
act of sabotage, or caused by care
lessness, Hall added:
“However dangerous and des
tructive a fire may be when set
by an enemy agent, a fire caused
by careless neglect can do just
as much damage.”
The Commissioner said careless
ness with regard to fire hazards
is one of the country’s greatest
dangers as wartime production is
speeded.
“Disregard of simple rules of
precaution against the outbreak
of fires,” he continued, “can cause
destruction of an entire factory
in an hour or so. This means ser
ious material loss in the plant
itself, to say nothing of the lost
production of materials needed for
warfare.

March, Loretta Young and Robert
Benchley.
Fredric March is the playwright
husband of Loretta Young, a
Broadway actress who wants to re
tire to private life. But her hus
band wants her to act in one more
of his plays, and when she thinks
she can’t stand his begging any
longer, off she goes to Reno and
gets a divorce. He follows her, in
terrupts her honeymoon with her
second husband and things begin
to pop.
The picture is pretty dull at
first, but after the scene shifts to
Reno and March starts trying to
win his wife back, things pick up
considerably. Allyn Joslyn, as the
second husband, is good; Robert
Benchley would be better if he had
more to do.

First Aid Kits To

The police committee of the na

dred first aid kits to be distributed
to all persons who have completed
the standard twenty-hour first aid
course and to all air raid wardens,
according to Harry Boyer, chair
man of the committee.
Three small bottles less than
three ounces in volume are needed
for each of these kits to be used
for alcohol, some antiseptic and
ammonia. To defray expenses the
police committee asks all people
who have these small bottles with
a stopper in their possession to
keep them until their area air raid

replied, “Retire a millionaire at an

want a regular Army commission
if I can get one, and,” he added,
“I want to meet a beautiful blonde
I can love to death!”
Speaking of girls, the little Ma
jor is what some folks call a “nat

at them, and they come a-running.
Take a hint, though, girls. If you
want to really catch Bob Hanby,
you had better whip up some ice

likes them as well as he does his
new job as yell leader.
“There is only one thing I didn’t
like about the reception for Raine
Thursday night, and that was the
way the fish messed up the songs
and yells. Maybe we need to hold
a few yell practices before Sep

the yells and songs it wouldn’t be
necessary and the corps as a whole
would seem about three times as
good,” he said today.
