Key leaders from the industry and KU will make up the faculty for the four-day school. The purpose of the course is aimed at solving some
of the managerial problems in the LP-Gas business.
The LP-Gas industry, which provides cooking and heating fuel to many Kansas farm homes, has expanded greatly since the war.
To keep the 50,000 miles of tracks of British railways in order eight special weed-killing trains spray them with 1,000,000 gallons of chemicals every year.

Dunmore East, Ireland — (U.P.) — When the wearers of the green swing through the cities of America this St. Patrick's day, the shamrock nestling proudly in their labels will be as fresh as if they'd just stooped and plucked it from an Irish meadow.
Ireland To Supply Fresh Shamrocks
Scientific cultivation and packing, plus special freight flights across the Atlantic and the American continent, will have combined to give sons and daughters of the old country the freshest, straightest-from-the-auld-sod three-leaf shamrock that ever left the Emerald Isle.
Right now the shamrocks are covering six rolling green acres round this quaint, old world County Waterford village on a hill that is beautifully nurtured and coddled as prize orchids in an amateur gardener's hothouse.
There are no amateurs round here now, though. Shamrock is big business and a new industry. In Willie Lawler's pub nights, rugged-faced farmers who winters past talked of wheat, barley and spuds now confer over their pints of beer on the advisability of "turning the lower meadow over beyond to raising shamrock for the Yanks."
Two years ago, hit by rising prices where it hurt most in his toy-manufacturing business. Bill came to Dummore for a holiday. In search of new outlets for a keen business mind, he was struck by the lushness of Dunmore's fields and meadows,
The man behind the new industry is a resourceful Irish business man, William D. Walsh, managing director of the newly-established Dummore East Packing Co.

especially the strong, green sham- rocks that blanketed the area.
Long browsing through reference books and consultations with horticultural experts gave the right type of shamrock to grow.
Then a giant, four-engined trans-
Atlantic plane droned overhead enroute to Shannon and New York. The two things clicked—the shamrock at his feet and the air giant in the sky; fly shamrock to the State!
Then came the problem of packing. After wide research Bill and a team of experts hit on a special process which ensures that the leaf's natural freshness is retained. Add to the preserving process a special Celtic-embled transparent plastic cover to protect controls evaporation, and Bill was ready to get to grips with the American market.
A trip to the States secured orders
in the big cities and towns of the continent. Last year for the first time thousands of Irish exiles wore shamrock on St. Patrick's day (March 17) almost in the same condition as it left the old country. This year it will be even better, with another year's research going into the job.
A few days before the holiday, scores of special workers will go out into the fields to begin the harvest. Colleens wading ankle deep through lush pastures will fill bags with shamrock, send them to the plant for treatment and packing, and then speed them on their way to Shannon by special convoy.
Chicago University Lecturer To Discuss Dante's Works
Prof. Giuseppe Antonio Borgese of the department of Italian literature at the University of Chicago will begin a two-week guest lectureship at the University next week.
Professor Borgese, an authority in the fields of modern comparative literature, aesthetics, and international policy, is coming to the University as the third speaker in the 1952 humanities lecture series.
Departing from their usual custom of having only one lecture, the humanities committee has asked Professor Borgese to present three. The series is titled "An Introduction to Dante."
The three lectures will be "Character and Culture," Tuesday; "Dante and His Society," Thursday, and "Dante and His Poem," Tuesday, March 18. All three lectures will be held at 8 p.m. in Fraser theater.
Professor Borgese is the founder and secretary-general of the Chicago Committee to Frame a World Constitution. In 1948 he completed his "Preliminary Draft of a World Constitution."
There the freight holds of giant sky transports will receive the cargo and speed it across the Atlantic to New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago—and your lapel.
An Italian by birth, Professor Borgese began his career by receiving the degree of doctor of letters and philosophy in Florence in 1903. He was professor of German literature at the University of Rome from 1910 until 1917.
He was the head of the press bureau under Orlando's premiership in Italy and the designer and organizer of the Congress of the Austro-Hungarian nationalities at Rome in 1918.
After being forced out of Italy because of his refusal to take the Fascist oath, he became visiting lecturer on history of aesthetics and
criticism at the University of California in 1931. During his stay in America he also taught at Smith college and the University of Chicago.
Professor Borgese became an American citizen in 1938. In 1948 he was reinstated in his professorship at the University of Milan which he had held from 1917 to 1931. His work, prohibited by the Fascist regime, is now being republished by Mondadori, Milan, in a sequence of about 30 volumes. It also includes translations of books written originally in English during his years in America.
Professor Borgese is the author of many books in Italian, German, and English in the fields of aesthetics, criticism, comparative literature, and politics.
His works include "Goliath: The March of Fascism" written in 1937, "The City of Man" in 1940, and "Common Cause" in 1943. He is not engaged on three connected books, the first two entitled "Foundations of the World Republic" and the other "Hagia Sophia" (Sacred Wisdom).
