Textile Designs Reach Burma
After several months of delay, some original textile designs created by students in the department of design have finally reached their destination for exhibit in Burma.
The exhibit was requested last fall for showing at the Burma-America Institute by Elizabeth Crafton Boyce, '44. Mrs. Boyce is the daughter of Prof. Allen Crafton, chairman of the department of speech and drama now on leave.
Her husband, James Boyce, attended school here from 1940-43 and is executive secretary of the institute.
The designs, on paper mats, were shipped airmail and all correspondence and shipments had to be processed through the State department, Miss Marjorie Whitney, chairman of the department of design, said.
The maximum size that could be shipped was 16 by 20 inches, so large mats were cut in quarters and reassembled in Rangoon. About 15 designs were sent, together with tracings of the development process, from original sketch to completed design.
Miss Whitney has received word that they will now be used in a display called Commercial Art in America, to be held in Rangoon and Mandalay early this year.
It was hoped the shipment would arrive in time for a November textile exhibit—but with censoring, inspection, and delays they did not arrive until about Dec. 1. They were mailed the latter part of October.
Mr. and Mrs. Boyce have written Miss Whitney that photographs of the exhibit will be sent the design department as soon as possible after it is held.

"We don't expect them for several months," Miss Whitney commented.
Gable Likes Kenya; To Buy Land There
Nairobi, Kenya—(U.P.)-Screen star Clark Gable said today he likes Kenya so much that he plans to buy property in the colony's highlands and spend several months here annually.
He and actress Ava Gardner have been in Tanganyika, which borders Kenya, filming "Mogamba" a story about big game hunting.
The first jewelry was fashioned before recorded history, for divine protection and magic power.

That was no crying towel; that was my old school tie.
Once there was a basketball team that was the Hottest Thing in the Conference—until its high-scoring center, a $6-foot Lump, of dubious intellect, developed a bad attack of the ball. This is the gible List. This with the team right up against the Crucial Game for the Conference Title.
The first half was Wom. Our boys limped off to the dressing room trailing by 30 points. The Coach had just embarked on a touching Word Picture of himself, his wife and three helpless dependents Starving in the Streets, when in burst the Assistant Manager, trunbling an overflowing wheelarrow. In it were telegrams—hundreds of em' from fraternities and sororites. Doe. Doe. Doe. The faculty, the janitor, from practically Every Student on Campus—all bearing the stirring exhortation "Win this one for Old Blackstrap!"
Seriously, there's nothing like a Telegram to put heart into the guy—or the team—that gets it. Likewise, there's no nicer way to say "Well Done!" In fact, for just about any communique, ... whether it's a Flash for Cash to the Folks Back Home or Soft Words to a Distant Damself... it's better to make the pitch via Wester Union.
Was the team Buoyed Up? Oh buoy! Won by 4 points, in overtime. They're now known around the conference as the Western Union Wonders.

French Premier To Visit Ike
Paris—(U.P.)—France's new Conservative Premier Rene Mayer made arrangements today for a quick trip to the United States to meet President-elect Eisenhower.
Mayer was confirmed yesterday by the National Assembly to head France's 18th post-war government.
Mayer, whose appointment ended a more than two-week long crisis, is worried over Eisenhower's attitude toward the French 1953 defense effort and wants to feel out the Republican administration's ideas on aid to France.
The premier was reported by informed sources to be perturbed by the diminishing influence of France in Western councils because of the recurrent French governmental crisis.

Substantial Declines In Basic Food Prices
Bv UNITED PRESS
Substantial price declines in meat and other basic foods were reported today in a spot check of retail food stores across the nation.
At the wholesale level, figures showed that prices of all meats have declined 20 per cent since last August.
The overall percentage could not be calculated at the retail level, but butcher shops in some cities reported hamburger down as much as 20 cents a pound in the last year.
In New York City, some cuts were selling at the lowest price in $21 \frac{1}{2}$ years.
At wholesale, choice grade beef had dropped almost 15 per cent by Jan.1, and good grade had declined 32.4 per cent.
The trend gained significance from the fact that on the eve of the inauguration, a new administration will have to decide what to do about economic controls.
In Chicago, the nation's meat packing center, choice beef was selling at $46.25 a hundred pounds at wholesale, compared with $54 a year ago.
Good grade at wholesale was selling at $37, compared with $51.50 a year ago, and utility grade, from which much hamburger is made, had dropped from $42.25 to $30.
The big price decline on utility grade was reflected in hamburger prices reported in a spot check of butcher shops by United Press.
Hamburger had dropped 20 cents, from 69 cents to 49 cents a pound, at Buffalo, N.Y., and Edinburg, Tex., and from 64 to 45 cents at Louisville, Ky., and Philadelphia.
