Lillian Gish signs books for admirers
She walked into Oread Book-store Friday with all of the poise and grace one would expect of her. Dressed in blue, she walked up the steps to a table from which coffee and cookies were being served and asked if she was late.
Then she took her place in a big dark chair. With a table in front of her and pen in hand, the autograph party began.
The purpose of the party was to promote her new book, "Lillian Gish, the Movies, Mr. Griffith, and Me."
A long line that continued to remain long formed in front of her during the hour she signed books.
In an extremely friendly fashion she would ask for whom the book was to be signed. Then she would write, "To , with every fond wish-Lillian Gish."
One girl evidently asked her a question concerning movies, and the reply was heard: "In every country but ours they take film seriously. Here we toss it off as dirty entertainment."
Many comments could be heard from admirers standing in the line concerning the talk she had given and the films she had shown the night before. Many

Al Winder wants you.
If you're an engineering major, Al Winder wants you.
Because he's got something to say.
About a company. And a city. About challenges. And decisions.
The company is: the Power & Light Company. The city: Kansas City. A city in the midst of its first real growing pains. A city with many challenges.
For you, the challenge could be an 848,000 kilowatt power station now in the building stage; 345,000-volt transmission lines in a constantly
growing network; or solving environmental problems such as air pollution or beautification of facilities. All this, and more, to satisfy the human and social needs of the city...and a demand for electric service that will almost double in the next 10 years.
Decisions to meet these challenges can be yours. (But first you must decide to see Al Winder.)
If you do, you'll see he only cares about one thing: whether you're big enough to help a company help build a city.
