- Former Student Has Role In 'Decision Before Dawn'
A former University student appears in the motion picture, "Decision Before Dawn," which will be shown in Lawrence this week.
The ex-student, Capt. Clarence A. Amos of Fredonia, plays the part of an officer in the picture about the campaign in Germany during World War II. Amos received the role after winning a screen test contest sponsored by 20th Century Fox in 1950 to determine the best soldier actor.
Amos attended KU during the 1939-40 term as a fine arts student. He enlisted in the army in the summer of 1940.
Although he has gained note chiefly as an actor, Captain Amos has displayed talents in other fields. While stationed in Hawaii during World War II, he played halfback on a service football team. He also appeared on many military shows as a baritone singer.
At the Weisbaden base in Germany where he now is stationed, Amos is coach of the post track team. He is also a member of the 18th Weather squadron officers' bowling team.
Not to foresake the artistic aspirations he had while at KU, Amos is taking painting lessons in Germany. He also is taking voice lessons from an opera singer, Ewald Boehmer. Rounding out his activities, the captain enrolled in law courses at the University of Oklahoma while stationed there from 1946 to 1949.
Captain Amos is serving as a personnel officer at Weisbaden.

"He knows when Everybody gets up and when they go to bed"
The Kansas Power and Light Company Load Dispatcher knows when everybody gets up. It's a part of his job to know what time you and your neighbors start turning on lights, ranges, toasters and radios. The daytime load calls for more electricity and the Load Dispatcher is the man who tells our power-plant employees when to send more current through the wires. These helpful men are always on the job to see that you get all the electricity you want when you want it.
Our Load Dispatchers—and 1700 other employees doing their jobs conscientiously and well—are an important part of the reason why The Kansas Power and Light Company's customers get the best electric service available anywhere!

THEY'RE both good basketball players. But if we were to judge them the way we judge
telephone equipment,we'd take the small one.
You see, telephone equipment occupies valuable space, uses costly materials. Paring down its size helps keep down the cost of telephone service.
Take voice amplifiers, for example. Telephone engineers put the squeeze
on size, came up with a new small type. When 600 of these new amplifiers are mounted on a frame two feet wide and eleven feet high, they do a job which once required a roomful of equipment. Size was cut-but not performance!
This is one of many cases where the Bell System has made big things small to help keep the cost of telephone service low.
