C s. t&i ADMISSION including C C a GRANDSTAND LADIES’ DAYS— TUESDAY & FRIDAY 'IN JUNE tary of AgricutiJure Henry A. Wallace, the plan was decided on last March 13 and will function through the Federal Surplus Com modities corporation. The plan aims at wider consumption of sur plus farm products by increasing purchasing power of low-income families. During the experimental neriod in Rochester (2 to 4 months) the distribution of surpluses will take place through wholesale and retail grocery outlets. Rochester grocers have indicat ed a willingness to push the sale of surplus produots to all con sumers under the plan, which soon will be extended to five other ex perimental cities. Families eligi ble for the local experimental plan include WPA workers, mothers re ceiving pensions, folks receiving old-age pensions and unemployed ■ who are geting public assistance. Herels how the plan works: Fa milies certified for public aid will be offered the chance to buy or ange collored stamps—which will srvo as purchasing power at any grocery store Those buying orange stamps, blue stanips will be given free. These blue stamps will buy certain surplus foods at any gro cery Value of the blue stamps (given free) will be 50 per cent, (one half) the value of orange stamps purchases. That is, for ev ery dollar’s worth of orange stamps bought by a family, 50 ents in blue stamps will be given free. No family will be permitted to buy more than $1.50 of orange stamps for each member of the household, each week, and the minimum purchase of orange stamps will be $1 per person. Se cretary Wallace said that should the new plan succeed, it will make three distinct contributions to the public welfare: “1. It will get more surplus farm products into consumption; that will help agriculture. 2. It will provide more and better food for low-income families; that will improve the public health and be nefit the future of our people. 3. It will increase the volume of mer chandise moving through the nor mal channels of trade; that will help all bi|dness.” With a population of 330,000, Rochester has several thousand families who are receiving some form of public assistance. Nearly 5,500 heads of families are em ployed on WPA projects and con ditions here are considered ideal for-trying out the new food stamp plan. NAVAL NOTES • At specified times every day, a radio signal from the Naval Radio Station at Arlington, Virginia, flashes the exact time all over the ■World as recorded at the Naval Observatory. These signalg are sent in a series of dots and ended with a long dash to denote the exact time to check the time. Only one German submarine saw servico from the beginning of the World War. This wets the Lucky U-19. The U-19 was Burrended to the British at the close of the war.

Some idea of the impetus given to life in Barbados, British West India?, by the visit of two large ships like the USS LEXINtiTON and USS RANGER, may be glean ed from the fact that in two days following the arrival of these ves sels nearly 8,000 pieces of mail left tho Island. Of this quanity there were 5,704 postcards and 2,002 letters Athletics in our Navy are run on the same principles as obtain in all college^ and universities, and the amateur standing of all contestants must be carefully maintained.” CHANGE IN TERM OF FIRST ENLISTMENTS IN THE NAVY Orders have been received from the Navy Department, effective on July 1, 1939., changing the term of first enlistments in th© Navy from four to six years and to dis continue enlistment of applicants under sixteen years of age after 30 Jun3 1939. These changes are being made to assure greater permanency of Navy personnel They al»o offer more time to learn a trade and con sequently a higher rating, more apportunity to see the World. Also a man will be more maturely able at the end of six years to decide whether he cares to make a career of the Navy or not. An officer witness supplies this answer to the query of how the morale and training of the modern US Navy me*n would prove under actual battle conditions. During ex tensive Fleet maneuvers in tropi cal waters an ambitious officer’s steward on a destroyer served lobster salad that resulted in every officer aboard becoming un conscious or wishing he were. The (senior petty officer abroad dis patcher! a message to the Admiral informing him that every officer was disabled but received orders for the ship to resume her battle station and proceed with the bat tlo maneuvers. The destroyer in complete command of her petty of ficers made a surprise night at takc without mishap and with con siderable credit. And some of the petty officers were Kill at their posts when they anchored at Guan tanamo Bay, Cuba. Enactment of the Social Security Law was increased the cost of building a battleship in private ship yards by about two million dollars. The USS MARYLAND, one of the battleships of the U. S. Fleet, has the largest choir of any ship in the Fleet. This choir has isung in practically every port that the ship has visited. The average unlisted strength of the Navy for the fiscal year 1938 was 102,500 for 316 vesnells This represented almost a 15 per cent shortage from full complement. —-—ouo PRAISED BY PRESIDENT Editor in chief of the Kappa Journal, official organ of the Kap pa Alpha Psi Fraternity, received a letter of congratulation from President Franklin D Roosevelt on the recent 25th anniversary of the Journal.
