Geological Survey Issues Kansas Counties Reports
--and
Three reports have been recently issued by the State Geological survey at the University, concerning field investigations carried on by members of the survey staff.
Two of the pamphlets deal with the economic value of the Cheyenne sandstone of Barber, Commanche, and Kiowa counties, and the other is concerned with the origin and development of the Tonganoxie sandstone.
One report, "The Cheyenne Sandstone of Barber, Comanche, and Kiowa Counties, Kansas, as Raw Materials for Glass Manufacture," is based on an investigation growing out of a study made in 1949 in cooperation with the Kansas Industrial Development commission.
Ease of mining and of transportation, mild climate, and nearby natural gas supply at reasonable cost prompted the study of the Cheyenne sandstone.
According to the report, written by E. K. Nixon, R. T. Runnels, and R. O. Kulstad, much of the sand in the area studied is over 95 per cent silica and otherwise suitable for use in glass manufacture.
Topics discussed include geologic occurrences of the sand, its general characteristics, exploring and sampling, laboratory analyses and results, reverses, and economic aspects.
The second report, "Silica Sand from South-Central Kansas for Foundry Use," by Kenneth Rose, associate professor of mining engineering, reports on the possibility of the use of the same sand in foundries.
The Cheyenne sandstone meets the requirement of foundry sand in refractoryness, grain size, durability, and workability and could be easily and economically developed according to the report.
The publication entitled "Origin and Environment of the Tonganoxic Sandstone in Northeastern Kansas," by Thomas W. Lins, is primarily concerned with the sandstones of a filled-in valley, approximately 20 miles wide and 90 to 100 feet deep that trends southwest through Wyandotte and Leavenworth counties into Douglas County. A geologic map and geologic cross sections through the valley accompany the report.
The publications are issued as bulletin 86, parts 3, 4, and 5. A copy of each may be obtained free at the State Geological Survey office in Lindley hall or by mail for a mailing charge of 10 cents each.

Myerson To Study Gifted Children
High schools all over the country had been asked to collect toys for European children and the gifts of Lawrence Junior High school went to an orphans' home in Hemau, Germany. The reply was a deluge of letters, each of them an example of the children's happiness and thankfulness. But they were written in German, and Lawrence high school
About a year ago when the American Legion started a program to help children in Europe, it didn't know how much its idea would contribute to the understanding of people in the world. And they certainly didn't know that KU students would contribute so much to it and get fun and knowledge out of it.
Professor Myerson also has been appointed a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Exceptional Children, the official magazine of the International Society for Exceptional Children.

So one day, the German department at KU received 150 unexpected letters and the 151st was a request to translate them. It was decided to make this a class project in the advanced German classes. With unusual effort and almost voluntarily the students did their job, learning twice as much German as they were supposed to.
