AI1 Commercial Planes
To Be Grounded During

WASHINGTON m — The im
pact of an air defense exercise
on Saturday Oct. * 14, may be
greatest on athletes and sports
fans.
The college football season will
be at a height that day when,
. for 12 hours, all civilian aircraft
and all non-participating military
planes will be grounded.
The exercise, conducted by the
North American Air Defense Com
mand, will involve about 2,000
military planes in a simulated at
tack on the North American Con
tinent.
On that Saturday, more than
40 major intersectional games,
some of them important home
coming contests and some involv
ing large travel distances, are
scheduled.
Although most college football
teams arrive at least a day before
the game, the grounding of planes
during operation Sky Shield II
will affect the travel plans of
thousands of fans who rely on
charter flights.
There will be no commercial
or civilian flying from 1 p.m.
Oct. il4 until 1 a.m. Oct. 15 EDT,
that is 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Alaskan
Standard Time.
Altogether, the exercise is ex
pected to ground 1,580 domestic
and international airline planes
and 70,000 private and business
aircraft.
Fairbanks Mother Honored
For Work as Jail Matron
COLUMBUS, Ohio UD — Many
young persons, allowed to have
pretty much their own way as
children during the post-World
War II “permissive” era—are
stricter parents than their mothers
and fathers were, a New York
youth official says.
Alexander Aldrich, Director of
the New York Division for Youth,
made the comment during an in
terview at the 91st Annual Con
gress of Correction Wednesday.
He said many of these young
parents, and other persons as well,
appear to be realizing that leni
ency not always is the best thing
for children.
Aldrich also urged that state
legislatures permit school teachers
more authority to maintain disci
pline and curb disrespect in the
classroom, and declared sex, auto
mobiles and drinking from the
“trilogy of waywardness in youth
today.”
One of the participating asso
ciations at the Congress, the Na
tional Jail Assn., announced its
outstanding jailer and outstanding
jail matron awards will go to of
ficials in Louisiana and Alaska.
Mrs. Alma Clery, a mother of
two who took her first jail matron
job 7Vi years ago when she joined
her husband Peter in Fairbanks,
is being honored for her work at
the state jail there. She previous
ly lived in Nebraska and Cali
fornia.

English Folks
Wash Riches Out of
Powder Detergent
SNETTISHAM, England UP) —
Folks in this Norfolk village are
raking riches out their washing
powder. And the detergent trade
at Philip Norwood’s Grocery has
never been better.
It happened this way:
As a sales gimmick, the Thomas
Hedley detergent firm started
marketing the powder with a
bingo card on the wrapper and a
jumped series of numbers lined
up on a slip of paper inside.
A necessary digression: Bingo,
a gambling game, is a current
craze in Britain.
The detergent bingo is a varia
tion of this theme. If the inside
slip corresponds with any straight
line of numbers on the card on
the wrapper, the detergent firm
advertised, the 'buyer can do a
simple crossword puzzle and
claim a prize.
The prizes included washing
machines, refrigerators, record
players and gold watches.
The people of Snettisham dis
covered that grocer Norwood’s de
tergent was lucky. There were
plenty of winning slips among the
product on his shelves.
Apparently, the company had
sent a whole batch of prize-win
ning packages in one load to Snet
tisham by mistake instead of only
a few.
Folks bought up packages of
washing powder by the dozen. “I
have bought 24 packets,” said
Margaret Sadler. “Now my family
his claimed two refrigerators.”
Said Phyllis Firth: “In 27 pack
ets I found three winning slips.
We are claiming three refrigera
tors.”
“In 20 years I’ve never done
so much business,” said Norwood.
“I reckon my customers have
claimed 5,000 pounds—$14,000—
worth of prizes.”
A spokesman for the manufac
turers said: “Provided the entries
comply entirely with the rules
and the numbered slips are in
order, these people will qualify
for prizes.”

Standard Oil Co, Plans
Full-Scale Participation in
Century 21 Fair
Standard Oil Co. of California
has announced plans for full-scale
participation in the Seattle
World’s Fair.
H. G. Vesper, president of the
company’s western operations, re
vealed the plans recently during
a visit to Seattle. He said:
“Our participation in Century
21 reflects Standard’s belief in
the importance of the exposition
to Seattle and the Northwest, in
deed, to our entire nation. We
are planning what we bMicve will
be one of the World’s Fair’s most
imaginative displays.”
Standard’s U-shaped exhibit
hall will occupy a site near the
Space Needle, the Monorail Ter
minal and Federal Science Pavil
ion. Products from petroleum and
petrochemicals will be utilized in
the building’s construction, such
as the stout plastic skin forming
its walls. The building consists of
three major deck areas and con
necting ramps.
In the forecourt of Standard’s
pavilion will be erected one of
the landmarks of the World’s
Fair—a tower topped by a large
revolving model of an oil mole
clue. A replica of the world’s first
service station—opened by Stand
ard in Seattle in 1907—will be
featured in this area. A pool with
fountains will surround an is
land cut away to illustrate the
geology of oil. A 40-foot wide
j map, lighted from inside, will
show Standard’s world-wide ac
tivities of today.
A colorful diorama will depict
the role of petrochemicals in ag
riculture—in plant foods and
pesticides supplying cultivated
forests; in plastic domes providing
light and temperature controls
for farm planting areas, result
ing in more crops per season.
One major display will featun
the family and oil-derived pro
ducts for their personal lives
fabrics, cosmetics, accessories,
household appliances, medicines.
A model of a future home will
demonstrate plastic-panel walls
polarized for light control.
