Norton Tells Of Need For Air Units
The R.O.T.C. since 1862 has never tried to initiate the "spit-and-polish, goose-stepping" military concept into the American way of life. Major Leslie Norton, director of the air force college program, told air force reserve and Air R.O.T.C. members Thursday.
"There is growing need for air reserve and air R.O.T.C. organizations," Major Norton said. "In this dangerous world today we haven't the protection of world boundaries. Our boundaries are the boundaries of the sky. The ocean has shrunk to nothing."
Pointing to the military as a profession. Major Norton said, "There is no intention on the part of the military to interfere with the civilian professions. Some of the very best writings and paintings were done by soldiers. Soldier paintings appear in museums throughout the world. The creative mind has not been killed by the military."
"We would like to take the stand that the United Nations is the controlling factor in world peace," he said. "The fallacy of the United Nations is that it has no police force. It depends upon the independent states to keep the peace."
Major Norton outlined the air force organization and told of its mission in world peace.
"The United States has commitments in all quarters of the world and has the need for a large military service. The minute we disarm, that is the minute we are endangered. I think university students are realistically wise in participating in the R.O.T.C. program."
Author of two books while in the service. Major Norton was special representative of the general staff of the United States in Austria and Germany in 1946. His job was to make political and economic surveys of those countries.
Franz Joseph Haydn composed more than 400 major compositions during his lifetime.

Fathers Aren't So Dumb
Memphis, Tem.—(U.P.) —Women shoppers looked on with amusement as a husband bought the week's groceries. He had his arm full and a baby was sound asleep in a baby's car seat strapped to his back, papoose-style.
'49ers' Pour Into Alaska But Gold Is Hard To Find
Fishwheel, Alaska—(U.P.)—Dozens more gold-fevered men poured into this boomtown today to grub for gold despite cries of "hoax" raised by veteran prospectors throughout Alaska.
What was a barren, uninhabited wilderness a week ago, has mushroomed into a string of tents scattered seven miles upstream and six miles downstream along the sandy banks of the Yukon river. More than 300 claims have been staked along the 13-mile stretch.
Charles Halleck, president of United Air Motive, an Anchorage bush pilot line, said "The whole thing is a put up job." He said the same men met every plane and displayed what they said was the original find of nuggets.
In Juneau, territorial department of mines official Art Glover refused to endorse the strike as "the real thing or even as a reasonable gambling chance." He cautioned no one to make the trip "unless you are fully able to write off your time and money as a total loss."
Old-time prospector Jim Donovan returned to Fairbanks saying he believed the nuggets so far reported found may have been "planted."
While hardy old sourdough braved sub-zero temperatures to stick out their search for fortune, other veteran prospectors began to drift away from "the biggest gold strike since '98" claiming they had been hoaxed.
Many of the gold-seekers invested their life savings in the Fishwheel
Ted Rasmusson, Anchorage bush pilot and gold miner, also claimed the gold appeared to have been "salted" on the Yukon's banks.
"I believe that stampede was stirred up by persons financially interested in a boom."
"Only about 12 nuggets have been found at Fishwheel in six days and 200 prospectors should be able to find that many nuggets in my back vard." Rasmusson said.
gold rush. Bearded prospector Charlie Johnson pinned all his hopes on the 40 acres he staked out.
"I lost everything I had in the Fort Yukon flood last spring," John son said. "I've got six kids but I'm broke now. Maybe this will see me out again."
The desirable characteristics in chemists which personnel officers of industry look for in hiring new men was discussed by Joseph Burkhalter, associate professor of pharmacy, at the annual fall banquet of Phi Lambda Upsilon, honorary chemistry society.
LINDLEY'S KANSAS CLEANERS
Chemists Hear What Industry Looks For When They Hire
One pilot brought in two nattily-dressed men with polished nails, diamond rings and big bank rolls. They wore white overshoes, pleated " sun valley" type ski pants and carried bedrolls. They stepped out of the plane, took a long look at the bleak terrain and returned to Fairbanks on the same plane.
He also discussed motives and aims that all persons in chemistry should possess to achieve success in their profession.
