Aviation Safety Improved
By Fingernail Polish
Miami, Fla. (U.P.)—Mechanics at the Pan American World Airways engine overhaul base use enough nail polish every month to keep their wives toes and fingers brilliantly painted for 50 years.
But don't get the wrong idea, say the mechanics. It's a serious business.
When an engine is being reassembled, each screw connection in the electrical, hydraulic, fuel and oil systems get a stripe of nail polish. If one connection should begin to work loose, the break in the red stripe can be detected at a glance and the connection tightened.
What could cause a serious mechanical failure thus is averted by a small dab of the polish.
Nail polish is preferred because it is quick-drying, bright-colored and comes with its own built-in paint brush.
Baby Wins In Death Bout
La Porte, Ind. (U.P.)—A baby who weighed only two pounds, one ounce at birth and spent four months in an incubator celebrated his first birthday weighing 18 pounds and in good health.
World War II veterans on disability rolls now total 1,701,019.
A little girl who had to stand on a soapbox to be seen during her first singing role was asked by George Gershwin in later years to sing the lead in his famous opera, "Porgy and Bess."
Her name is Etta Geraldine Moter, "31, who is associated with "Bess" in every major city in the U.S. Although originally from Texas, where she made her debut as a choir singer in her father's church, she began her formal musical education in Kansas City, Mo.
She came to K.U. for a Bachelor of Music degree and paid her tuition by singing on a local radio station summers and touring the country on the Chautauqua circuit with the Jubilee singers.
She has fond memories of the University and acknowledged her gratitude when she said on her last visit to the campus, "I came to appreciate Bach, Handel, Beethoven, and Brahams, singing under Dean D. M. Swarthout." She studied voice with Mrs. Alice Moncrieff, professor of voice and was active in dramas under Allen Crafton, professor of speech.
Two University Graduates Star On Broadway
She got her first big break shortly after graduating in 1391 when she appeared in the Broadway production "Fast and Furious." Here she attracted the attention of George Gershwin and was on her road to success. When asked her success secrets, she explained her stage philosophy with the statement, "Every time I face an audience I believe in doing my best."
Lorenzo Fuller, '41, is another fine arts graduate who has made good on Broadway, according to an article in the New York Times.
He played the part of Paul in the musical comedy hit, "Kiss Me Kate" and did a specialty number which, the Times said, "stopped the show."

This was no surprise to Miss Meri-bah Moore, associate professor of voice, who taught Mr. Fuller when he was at the University.
"He has a wonderful personality," said Miss Moore, "and people from all over Kansas ask about him when they see his picture in my studio.
Fuller is a native of Stockton, but traveled throughout the state playing one night stands to earn money for his education. After receiving his bachelor of music degree from K.U., he went to the Julliard School of Music in New York, N.Y., to study for his master's degree.
While at Juliardi, he played the ragtime piano-playing undertaker in "St. Louis Woman" and in 1946 he got his big chance on Broadway when he played Begat, the singing gospeler in "Finian's Rainbow."
"He is versatile and talented," said Miss Moore, "and we shall probably hear more about him in the future." He has had his own radio show, has written music for TV programs and is currently the vocal
coach on the American Theater Wing faculty.
All Kansas' important field crops except corn originated in a foreign country: alfalfa in Persia, oats in Algeria, rye in Siberia, wheat in Russia, sweet sorgo in China, grain sorghums in Egypt and South Africa, and soybeans in Manchuria.
