Meet The Man
But Don't Do
[t Blatantly
\P Newsfeatures
Even in leap year you can't ask
>r even imply marriage.
Young men are doing their own
:hoosing these days and a good
way to scare them away, they ad
mit, is to look expectant.
One popular man-about-campus
thinks the average girl is too con
fident, aggressive, determined as
it is ? one reason why he'll not
propose any time soon, he says.
"It's the shy-violet tvpe I'm look
ing for, but where will you ever
meet a girl who depends on a man
in this day and age?"
There are lots of shy-violet
types, the only trouble is that they
aren't all in a position to meet
young men. They are not the blind
daters, the speak-first in class type,
the glad-eye party type'. They are
taught not to encourage strangers.
But our shy-violet seeker says
"not true. There are hundreds of
ways a quiet type can meet nice
boys."
"How" is the next question and
he replies by offering these sug
gestions. Pretty good ideas, ac
cording to girls who've looked over
the list. Try one or more in 1956
if you haven't before this and good
casting to you.
You can meet him . . .
1. At the library . . . Lots of op
portunity there he says. If shelves
are high, ask him to reach for
that book. Or perhaps you've left
your glasses home, a good reason
to ask him to help locate a book
for you.
2. At the co-op . . , Ask him to
help you select something for
father, brother or friend.
3. On a committee?Soliciting
funds or contributing time to local
community chest, school or library
projects.
4. School Cafeteria?Waiting on
table is a good way to make friends.
Or sharing a table over a ham
sandwich is another.
r ~5. At sports arena?Ask ques
tions of a stranger if you like?it's
accepted. Even the hero's auto
graph might be sought for a young
nephew if it is the hero of the
game who captures your imagina
tion.
6 Playshop groups ? Acting,
directing or stage setting are great
friendship makers.
7. Having Fun ? You might
meet him at the riding stable, golf
course, tennis courts, swimming
pool, ski hill, ice rink, fishing
camp or what have you.
8. Courses in Hobbies?Photog
raphy, painting sculpturing, wood
carving or any of the other hobby
courses.
9. Vacation Spots ? Student
tours, cruises, weekend resort
buses or train trips.
10. On a job?Weekend or part
time jobs frequently offer many
opportunities to meet the man of
your dreams, our male Informant
tells us. He suggests work in local
stores, hosptials, library, etc., as
good opportunities for corraling a
male.
The implication of this list is
that you can't meet a man if you
hibernate. Get out where you can
meet him and then be in a position
to hold' a conversation with him.
It's as simple as that.

Reference Bureau Gathers
Facts On Global Population
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON?Facts and en
thusiasm he had aplenty, only
money was scarce, when Robert
C Cook became director in 1951 of
the Population Reference Bureau,
a nonprofit, scientific organization
which gathers, coordinates and dis
tributes important population data
all over the world.
That is when his wife, the form
er Annabelle Desmond, of Dillon.
Mont., entered the picture. A
student of journalism, experienced
in advertising and public relations,
equally endowed with enthusiasm,
the attractive Annabelle rolled up
her sleeves and helped raise fi
nancial support for the enterprise.
By 1952 the Cooks had $15,000?
"The .Survival Budget?they call
it. which became the springboard
that made it possible for the PRB
to get a Ford Foundation grant.
It received a second grant in 1955
to carry through until 1958.
The PRB, Inc., since its found
ing in 1929 by the late Guy Irving
Burch. has pioneered in its en
deavor to awaken public interest
in the grave problem of population
trends.
It is sponsored by a group of
leading biologists, sociologists and
economists. Its main objective is
U. S. Air Force
Removes Limit
Dn Enlistments
For the first time in six months. 1
he United States Air Force has 1
jponed wide the door to voluntary ]
fnlistment in the Air Force. This ]
was announced today by Sgt. Hop- ,
kins, local Air Force recruiter for |
his area.
Sgt. Hopkins stated that the new
opportunities for training and ser
vice in the Air Force arise through
the need to meet the 137-wing goal
:o make available in accurate, non
.echnical form the essential facts
upon which population policies
must be based.
The bureau also publishes the
Population Bulletin," for use by
teachers, students', libraries, pub
lishers, business men and indus
trial consultants. It supplies infor
mation concerning such things as
the birth rate among college stu
dents; average size families in
Great Britain, Germany, France,
etc.; population gioups over 60;
cultivated ?Teas per person for the
world; the number of childless
couples in the United States; stud
ies on the problem of general func
tion of humanity and the length of
generations of fruit flies, whales,
rabbits and- people.
Cook, who authored the book.
"Human Fertility: the Modern Di
lemma." lectures on genetics at
George Washington University and
for 25 years was editor of the
Journal of Heredity, founded by
the late Dr. Alexander Graham
Bell and a group of associates, in
cluding Cook's father. When he
took over his duties at PRB his
daughter. Barbara Cook Lake, be
came editor of the Journal. His
other daughter, Mrs. Peter Spren
ger, lives in Springfleld. Mass. and
a son, John Cook, is athletic coach
and math teacher at St. Christo
pher's School, Richmond, Va.

During the past six months. Air
Force Recruiting Offices had to
cease taking enlistments upon
reaching their monthly quota. As
a result, many local men who wish
ed to join the Air Force were
denied the opportunity.
Sgt. Hopkins stated that local
area men enlisting in January will
be sent to Lackland Air Force
Base, Texas, for their first phase
of basic training prior to the tech
nical training afforded enlistees.
Full information concerning the
opportunity for reenlistment in
the Air Force during January can

Scientists report that the earth
is moving into its regular eleven
year cycle of sun spots; meaning
that there exists unusual eruptions
on the sun and these affect short
wave and television signals.
Because this inter
ference "bounces" TV
signals back and forth
over long distances,
you can expect to
pick-up ghost pictures
and short wave signals
and voices from distant
states and even from
Europe and South
America. The 1 o w
numbered channels
will Have the most trouDie in iringe
and near-fringe areas.
We d like to know at NELSON'S
TELEVISION SERVICE the number
of times this occurs in this area,
and would appreciate a phone call
GL 6-6581 or post card about it
Surveys are being made about
these occuranees with the possi
bility that some day they can he

T* light is red and you're ready.
It flashes green and you go?but quick.
And that's when you discover the Number
One news about Buick's new Dynaflow . . .
That it gives you brilliant new getaway
response for city traffic at only part throttle
?even before you switch the pitch of this
airplane-principled transmission. (And think
of the big gas savings that means I)
Next comes the Number Two discos cry?out
on the road.
For here?still without switching the pitch?
you have plenty more nimble acceleration to
surge or spurt ahead, to climb hills, to do
with almost effortless ease all the things nor
mally called for by highway driving.

But comes an emergency ? the need to get
out of a tight spot?and you discover the
Number Three news . . .
That you can do what a pilot does. That you
can switch the pitch of your Dynaflow blades
?just by flooring the pedal. And that you get,
instantly, a full-power take-off from cruising
pace?an electrifying burst of acceleration?
the most thrilling safety measure on four
wheels today.
Tliis is performance too good to pass up ?

It's performance sparked by the whis
