Nome School to Open Sept. 6 With
More Teachers for Lower Grades
Civil Service Will Now
Allow Persons Over 70
To Take Federal Jobs
WASHINGTON, UP)—The Civil
Service Commission today an
nounced a change in its regula
tions to permit persons over 70
to take regular federal jobs.
Under the old regulations such
persons could receive only tem
porary renewable appointments
of up to one year.
The commission said the change
was made to conform to congres
sional action lifting maximum age
restrictions on federal appoint
ments for this fiscal year, which
ends June 30, 1956.
A commission spokesman said
the change does not affect the
requirement for mandatory re
tirement at the age of 70 of any
federal employe who has served
at least 15 years, unless he is con
tinued in service by a civil ser
vice or presidential order.
Male Penguin Not Getting
Any Help From Mama
In Long Hatching Project
VANCOUVER, B.C., (^—Prog
ress report: That proud male king
penguin at the Stanley Park Zoo
is now two weeks faithfully along
towards hatching an egg, a pen
guin accomplishment which has
happened only a few times in
North America.
His mate is giving him no help
at all.
“Normally the female relieves
the male at intervals during the
egg’s incubation period,” zoo
keeper Alan Beet said yesterday.
“But so far she’s shown no will
ingness to take over.
Penguins make no nests, he ex
plained. The four-inch, almost
round egg is delicately balanced
on top of the feet of the brooding
parent bird, completely covered
by its feathers.
The incubation period is 64
days. So Mr. Penguin has a job on
his hands, or feet, until about
Oct. 5—unless his Mrs. takes over.
There’s this discouraging note,
too, Beet said. He understands a
male bird in the Bronx Zoo, New
York City, has been hatching an
egg without help from his mate
for about 50 days.
Stanley Park has seven of the
Penguins, each valued at about
$500.

load of geometry and mechanical
drawing; Mrs. Emma S. Cameron,
librarian, teaching English and

bookkeeping and school paper su
pervision; Henry Ullrich, high
school physical education, phys
ics, biology and advanced algebra.

New TV Set Showing of
Baseball Game Leads
To Barber Shop Brawl
TOKYO, (jft—A goodly crowd
gathered Wednesday night at Jiro
Masuyama’s barber shot to check
on his new television set. The Yo
miuri baseball Giants were beat
ing the Osaka Tigers.
Tiger fan Koiehi Seya, 23, suf
fered through four innings, then
flipped the switch to another sta
tion.
Giant fan Sadao Yamada, 30,
flipped a looping haymaker and
knocked out Koichi.
Seven Giant fans and five Tiger
fans leaped into a free-for-all. A
police van screeched to a stop
outside and officers hustled all
14 battlers to the station. Charge:
disturbing the peace.
And poor Masuyama? Sadly he
watched the Giants win 10-0, then
righted overturned barber chairs
and benches. The next day he
sent back the TV set.
