2'Hams' Service Town During Flood
Renewing communications with the outside world to a small water-isolated town would seem a job for the U.S. Army.
However, Richard Shackelford and Erwin David, engineering juniors, of the University Amateur Radio club served in just this capacity during last July's flood.
Shackelford, Erwin and their equipment were flown into the town of Perry, east of Lawrence. Their plane had to take off from a highway because the airport was flooded. "We beat the telephone company there by a day," said David.
The organization also operated three local stations during the flood. One was used for local communications; one kept contact with Kansas City, Topeka, and Olathe Naval Air
station; and another with Olathe Aircraft base.
Only four members of the club were available, but a call for more manpower brought in other amateur radiomen from this section of the state.
Appreciation of efforts—members frequently worked 36 or more hours without a letup—of the club is shown in public service citations received by the club. Both the Santa Fe railroad and the local Chamber of Commerce have expressed thanks to the club.
The purpose of this club is to introduce to students of engineering background a hobby that brings enjoyment of learning new skills. The
US Popular Songs Pierce Soviet Iron Curtain Barriers
Frankfort, Germany—(U.P.)—Current American song hits find ways of piercing the Iron Curtain, despite Communist attempts to suppress such "cosmopolitan expressions of western decadence."
Refuges from Red - dominated Czechoslovakia report that "Jezebel" and "Time for Love" are as popular in Prague as they are in New York.
Czech jazz fans pick up the tunes from the American forces network and other Western stations, write a slightly different version more palatable to Communist ears, anduly introduce them to night club audiences.
The Communists have become so alarmed at their popularity that they sometimes send their secret police on midnight raids in obscure night spots specializing in presenting American song hits, the refugees said.
Average Czechs, fed on a strict diet of patriotic hymns of praise to Stalin, take to the smuggled jazz like ducks to water.
Once heard in the watered-down version, a tune will make the round of large private parties in the almost-the-original version, usually after more help from the AFN.
They still are frequented almost exclusively by the impoverished middle class, while workers, who have more money, prefer to spend their evenings in smoke-filled beer-houses.
Although night clubs have been taken over from their former owners by the state, their existence is tolerated by the Communist regime for a very clear reason—profit.
The Communists, however, are going ahead with plans for transforming those night clubs that still exist.
The once-fashionable Lucerne bar, in downtown Prague, recently introduced floor shows on the Soviet model, complete with acrobats and gymnastics. Jazz bands have been confined to places which are easier to check and a constant watch is kept on all tunes that are plaved.
Hardest hit were the bars with "bad" reputations and small- semiprivate clubs in side streets. While several still carry on a flourishing trade, most of them have been closed down and converted into workers' canteens.
However, jazz shows no signs of disappearing. It struggles for survival in a mutilated legal form and in full glory at private and semi-private parties, played by enthusiastic amateur bands.

Unusual Story Lies Behind Jennie B. Simons Panorama
An unusual story, much planning and study lie behind the Jennie B. Simons panorama on natural life now under construction in Dyche museum.
When Mrs. Simons' husband died, she and her five small children moved in a boxcar to western Kansas. They settled on a Civil war veteran's land grant in Pawnee county.
Although she was a small woman weighing only 89 pounds, Mrs. Simons raised and educated her five children on the prairie farm. Of the three boys and two girls, only the oldest boy did not earn a college degree.
Sam Dickinson and George Young of the museum went to Pawnee county to make studies of the plant and animal life and collect specimens last June.
Impressions of leaves, grasses and flowers found their were made in plaster-of-paris. Linotype metal was then poured in the plaster molds to make plastic replicas of the plant life.
Non-inflammable acetate-cellulose plastic is used. Each blade of

grass, each leaf and flower petal are cut out by hand and individually spray paint. Several thousand blades of grass alone will be used in the panorama.
The poppy mallow, gallardia and other wild flowers will be shown in the scene. Animals typical of the area, including black tailed jackrabbits, 13 lined ground squirrels and a lark bunting will be shown.
In the painted background white thunderhead clouds will look down on the small cabin of the Simons and the gently rolling prairie in early spring.
A great many sketches and paintings were made by Mr. Dickinson before the final background was decided upon. A small scale model of the panorama was built so that all details could be figured out.
The Jennie B. Simons display is made possible by a memorial fund from W. C. Simons, president of the Lawrence Daily Journal-World. He was the oldest of the five children.
The average age of American automobiles was nearly eight years in 1950.
