Memorial Carillon Is To Be Result Of An Idea Originally From Holland
Recorded Christmas carols will be amplified from the tower of Dyche museum this year, but in the near future they will come from bells in the World War II Memorial carillon.
This idea of a carillon is comparatively new. Not long ago in Holland, watches and house clocks were rare; people were dependent on the town clock for the time. It became a cus-
This idea of a carillon is comparat watches and house clocks were rare; clock for the time. It became a custom to attract the attention of the citizens to the striking of the hour by a preceding ripple of sound.
At first the ringing was automatic. Later a prelude of short tunes was put in before the hour, and this gradually developed into elaborate pieces. The idea spread, and cities competed in a search for the best tunes. People liked the music, and concerts of this prelude music were started. Thus the carillon came into existence.
Village holidays and celebrations depended on music from the carillon, and it became the civic center of the village. Now music from carillons usually is set at certain times for an afternoon or evening concert.
The music comes from an instrument like an organ called a clavier. Wires are attached from bells to a keyboard of the clavier. The carillon here at the University will contain 51 bells of various sizes.
Movies Promote Safety Campaign
Oraha. Neb.—(UP)—Switching from slogans to psychology, the Omaha Safety council hopes to implant fear of home and highway hazards into movie watchers' minds.
The council's home-safety committee, a group of workers from the close-minded ranks, is behind a series of sound movies in color, printed on 15 mm. film, to show the doe's and don'ts of helpful and harmful habits.
There will be 35 scenes in all, starting with a traffic accident and including everything from proper water boiling to picking up blocks.

Author Gives Home A Boost
The study of home economics its the foundation of a satisfactory family life, Dr. Ivol Spafford said Tuesday at a tea given by members of the Home Economics club. For the past three years, Dr. Spafford has been a consultant for the American Home Economics association. She is the author of "Fundamentals in Teaching Home Economics" and "A Functioning Program of Home Economies."
"If this world is to have satisfying family life, it will be because we have learned to value the things which we have the skill to do. There is skill in human relationships as well as in managing a home, feeding a family, or caring for a baby," she said.
Dr. Spafford has been on the campus since Dec. 8, holding conferences with the instructors of the department of home economics on the problems of teaching. She also discussed the curriculum of home economics students with the instructors.
Lawrence police said today there have been no further reports of vandalism this week.
