Russian Girls Must
Stop Wriggling Hips
LONDON, GP> — Moscow radio
said today Russian girls must
stop wiggling their hips. There
are other ways they can let men
know they are female.
“A woman’s dress should suit
the shape of her figure, stressing
her contours and grace,” the
broadcast noted. But it added:
“It is not very attractive to pose
as some women do with the ex
press purpose of displaying quite
unnecessarily the mobility of
their hips while walking.
“This may be good training for
girls of fashion abroad who
shamelessly indulge in rock’n’roll
with its hideous stamping, wrig
gling and somersaulting. But this
is not at all suitable for our girls.”
Recent visitors to the Fremont
Hotel in downtown Las Vegas
were Ellen and Pamela Mulvihill.
Accompanying them were their
brother and sister-in-law Mr. and
Mrs. T. P. Mulvihill of Montana.
The group flew to Las Vegas in
Mr. Mulvihill’s plane, and will
continue from here to Mexico.
Mrs. A. L. Wesl has been in
Presque Island, Maine, for the

Navy Plans Atomic
Powered Seaplanes
By 1964 or 1965
PHILADELPHIA, UP) — The
Navy disclosed today it plans to
produce atomic - powered sea

In an announcement of re
delphia naval base, the Navy said
delphia nval base, the Navy said
a proposed fleet of nuclear sea
planes is scheduled to go into
operation in 1964-65 period.
The research being done here

construction and equipment.
The studies, conducted at the
Aeronautical Materials Labora
tory of the Naval Air Materiel
Center here, are aimed at devel
oping materials which would
withstand the heat and radiation
they would be subjected to in an
atomic plane.
It was reported that President
Eisenhower had decided against
any hurry-up program to develop
an atomic plane, in favor of tackl
ing basic problems which must
be solved first.

“Pilgrim’s Progress”
To Be Seen At Churches
Here This Week
“Pilgrim’s Progress” still holds
second place in sales around the
world, with the Bible as the best
seller. The book was originally
written by John Bunyan while in
Bedford Jail and he describes the
journey of a Christian through
life to the Celectial Land.
Both the scenery and charac
ters come to life in the aninfated
film which was previewed last
night at the Community Method
ist Church. The fim, which took
over five years to produce, is in
full color and over 60 minutes in
length.
It has been' scheduled at the
following churches here during
the week:
Covenant Church, Monday, 8
p.m.; Nome Gospel Home, Wed
nesday, 7:30 p.m.; Assembly of
God, Friday, 7:30 p.m.; Church
of the Nazarene, Saturday, 7:00

Church, Sunday, 7:30 p.m.
Students With Cars No
Longer Eligible For Help
At Whitman College
WALLA WALLA, Wash., iff) —
Whitman College has discontin
ued financial aid or guaranteed
grants to students who have cars
on the campus.
“If a student cannot pay his
bills in full he can’t justly expect
Whitman to give him enough fin
ancial aid to permit him the lux
ury of a car,” said Dr. Chester C.
Maxey, college president.
Dr. Maxey said the new policy,
which went into effect with the
start of the second semester, is
an effort to reduce the school’s
cost per student for education.
“We realize it is Whitman’s
privilege and duty to give as
much financial help to students
as possible,” Dr. Maxey said, “but
the size of the annual discount
has become unduly large.
“After all, students of the
horse-and-buggy days would not
have thought themselves entitled
to financial aid if they could af
ford to whirl around in a ‘surrey
with the fringe on top’.”

Today’s Hidden Bargains
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statis
tics recently published some figures
showing that the cost of living has
climbed 56 per cent during the last
ten years. Food prices have gone
up even further — to buy a bag of
groceries that sold for $10.00 in
1047 now costs $16.70.
But lucky for consumers, the
price increase on some goods has
lagged behind in this post-war cost
spiral and these few products have
suddenly become today’s hidden
bargains. The
price of drugs and
prescriptions, for
example, accord
ing to government
figures, has cl imb
( «, __ /t ed only 31 per
j ' cent since 1947 —
a small increase
.._when compared to
the 56 per cent
hike in the total cost of living.
Yet the price doesn’t tell the
whole story. The real reason why
today’s drugs are the biggest sav
ing in history is that they save lives
besides money. In the past ten
years, the U.S. Public Health Serv
ice estimates that drugs such as
antibiotics, have prevented more
than a million persons from dying
of pneumonia, and as a result, the
disease — the second major killer in
1930 - has now fallen to seventh
place on the nation’s death list.
Drugs have cut the cost of treat
ing pneumonia, too. Twenty years
ago, the disease meant weeks of
hospital expenses and death for one
out of every four patients. Today
almost all of these same cases can
be treated in the home or even in
the doctor’s office, and the disease is
knocked out within three days to a
week.
Although they may cost more,
modern medicines can do what 1930
drugs could never do — cure disease
and, in many cases, prevent the ex
pense of hospital care. Important as
these facts are, statisticians never
use them in compiling their cost of
Jiving surveys.
