The Council president added that meetings "have been dragging," and that "quite a few members have been absent three or four times."
Committee members are:

VA To Require Documents Of Marriage And Birth
E. R. Elbel, director of veterans affairs, today released the new rules governing the establishment of proof of marriage for veterans and also rules covering subsistence allowances for veterans' children.
"The procedure for the veterans wishing to transfer to another institution is: if prior to the close of the semester, he must secure withdrawal from school in which he is enrolled; present copy to this office; complete an interruption form; complete application for a supplemental certificate of eligibility and entitlement; complete a change of address form; and if the institution to which he plans to transfer is in another V.A. area, he must request that the Kansas City office transfer his case file to area in which new institution is located."
Before increased subsistence allowances can be made by the Veterans' administration, one of the following records must be submitted to the V.A.
secured from the county office in the county in which the marriage took place; a certified copy of the marriage certificate; a church record of marriage; an affidavit sworn by two witnesses.
"If a veteran interrupts his schooling before the close of a semester and does not intend to continue school, he must withdraw from the school in which he is enrolled, bring a copy of the withdrawal notice to this office, and turn in all books and supplies. If interruption takes place at a date after mid-semester, the veteran will lose entitlement for the entire semester and will be paid subsistence allowance to the end of the month in which withdrawal took place. If the veteran quits after mid-semester, however, and has paid his fees and for his books and supplies, then he will lose entitlement only to date of interruption.
For the birth of a child: a statement by the attending physician giving the name of the child and the name of both parents and the place at which the child was born; a hospital statement containing the above; a notarized statement by two witnesses; an affidavit of a midwife; a baptismal certificate or record.
If the above documents having to do with the birth of a child contain the name of the child, the date of birth, and the name of both parents, the Veterans administration will secure a birth certificate for the V.A. files, Mr. Elbel said.

It is 42 inches high, 18 inches in diameter, and weighs about 50 pounds. Around the base are 15 plates for the recording of the annual winners.
The letter to Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, from the foundation said that the rapid rise of the local chapter in scholarship standing to fourth in 22 last year had pleased Mr. Sharp so much he asked that additional incentives be established.

10,000 Persons Are Still Trapped In West's Worst Storm In History
Chicago, Jan. 5- (UP)—The most savage western blizzard in the memory of old-time westerners began subsiding today but almost 10,000 travelers were still trapped in its clutches.
Forecaster W. M. Percy of the Chicago weather bureau said the storm still would cause cold waves, fogs, torrential rains with minor floods, and generally bad weather over the en- $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $ tire country.
The tornadoes, which caused 54 deaths in Arkansas, Louisiana and Kansas Monday, were a direct result of a northern storm.
Fifth army headquarters at Chicago said a troop train bearing 257 men was stranded at Seneca, Neb., and was running out of food. The air force at Lowry Field, Denver, was alerted for possible flights to drop supplies to the soldiers.
The Red Cross' midwestern headquarters at St. Louis said it received reports of 8,000 military and civilian travelers stranded in southern Wyoming, northeastern Colorado and western Nebraska.
The Chicago and Northwestern railway said 7,700 passengers were marooned on 22 streamliners and fast passenger trains it operates through the West in conjunction with the Union Pacific line.
Army "weasels" were dispatched from Lowry field to try to reach 125 travelers the Red Cross said were marooned at Nunn, Colo. The travelers took refuge in the city hall and school.
Residents of the storm area said the blizzard was the worst they could remember. Some said it was the worst in history.
Percy said the storm was especially severe because it hung over one area for three days with scarcely any movement. Today, the big blow was moving slightly northward into North Dakota.
Some of the marooned travelers were not taking the storm as too much of a hardship. At Cheyenne, about 1,000 of them threw a big dance last night in the lobby of the city's leading hotel. Whiskey supplies were running low in the town.
Medical Center Gets $12,000 Library Gift
Mrs. Logan Clendening of San Marino, Calif., has transferred securities with a market value of approximately $12,000 to the Kansas University Endowment association, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced today.
The gift is an endowment for the Clendening Library of the History of Medicine. The library, housed in the Hixon laboratories at the University Medical center in Kansas City, Kan., was established in 1939 by the late Dr. Logan Clendening. Most of the books and museum pieces were from his personal collections.
Many medical instruments used throughout the world are included in the museum section. Several other physicians on the faculty have added their personal collections to the library.
Mrs. Clendening recently added her late husband's anesthesia collection of 130 books and nine visual, ouques, valued at more than $4,500.
Dr. Clendening contributed $10,000 to install the history of medicine library which occupies half of the third floor of the Hixon laboratories.
Mrs. Clendening has made three gifts totaling $22,000 to the Endowment association in the past month and a half. She previously made two $5,000 gifts to establish the Clendening Memorial lectureship honoring her late husband, who died in 1945.
The Clendening library containing about 3,500 volumes is perhaps the nation's finest on the history of medicine. About 300 volumes are considered irreplaceable. Two notable first editions are "The Fabrica" by Valesius, printed in 1543, and Harvey's "Circulation of the Blood," printed in 1628.
Terms of the gift permit either principal or income to be used for the purchase of additional books display cases, maintenance of library, and preparation of a catalog.
"The value of this expanding group of non-metallics, which include clay products, stone, sand, and gravel, amounted to more than 30 million dollars the past year. Stone and clay products alone increased 33 percent in the last two years," Mr. Nixon said.

Oil and gas make up the largest part of the mineral production. Kansas ranks fifth in oil and gas wealth. However, Kansas is also advancing rapidly as a producer of non-metallic minerals in other fields.
Dale Judy, graduate student, will be chairman of the student counseling program. The program is a joint project of the Y.M.C.A. and the office of the dean of men.
Minerals Set Value Record
The value of minerals produced in Kansas exceed 400 million dollars in 1948. E.K. Nixon, of the state geological survey, says this amount is the highest in the history of the state.
