MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. —(UPI)— A gunman who robbed a cleaning shop of $35 told Mrs. Susie Belnap to lie on the floor and count to 50 while he made his escape.

LONDON (UPI)—After 66 years as a shopkeeper, Frederick Kirby, 81, says the customers are harder to please today. But he says working conditions are better: when he started he worked from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., except on Saturday, when he worked until 10 p.m.
Customers Harder to Please
John S. McNown, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, said he agrees with the president of Carnegie Institute of Technology who had expressed concern over the lack of science courses in the arts colleges.
McNown Is Concerned Over Humanities Void
However, Dean McNown said that science majors lack humanities in their courses.
Dean McNown said that the reason for the void between the two schools was the lack of communication. He feels that this is a shortcoming on both sides.
"Because the engineer and the art student have no common courses they have a rough time talking to each other." he said.
He said that the new requirement

RAF Launches Thor Missile
"Too many college students are allowed to go through the university almost completely uninformed in the science field. The same is true with engineers and the humanities field."

DR. FROOD ON A CURIOUS DECISION
There is considerable talk in tobacco circles about the introduction of new cigarette flavors. It is expected that you will soon be able to buy cottage-cheese cigarettes, sarsaparilla cigarettes and fresh-garden vegetable cigarettes. You will be happy to know that Lucky Strike has decided to stick with its own remarkable taste—that of fine tobacco only. A pleasant decision, I'd say.
When it comes to choosing their regular smoke, college students head right for fine tobacco. Result: Lucky Strike tops every other regular sold. Lucky's taste beats all the rest because L.S./M.F.T.-Lucky Strike means fine tobacco.
COLLEGE STUDENTS SMOKE MORE LUCKIES THAN ANY OTHER REGULAR!
TOBACCO AND TASTE TOO FINE TO FILTER!
