As of last week, anyone 'can buy a ticket for a jet ride from London to Johannesburg, South Africa, in the British Overseas Airways de Ilavilland. Comet. Later Cornet jet service may be extended to New York, Washing ton and the West Indies, according to the magazine. In a jet there is no feeling of speed or even of movement in level cruising. Flying is remark ably steady in the Comet, riding over seven miles high at nearly 500 miles an hour. Weather lies forgotten under clouds far below. Only occasional tropical cloud tops or -wisps of ice crystals reach that height. In a clear sky of intense brilliance and blueness, one views the horzion, which might be 200 miles away and except for the seas, color is almost lost. Light and dark shades provide contrasts. Any landmark within 50 miles in any direction appears to be al most directly beneath. There is actually less engine noise than in any other four engine plane; the sound is steady, lacking the irritating thump and pulse of air-screws and piston engine exhaust. Though not quiet in the sense of silence, the noise is easy on nerves. Five Attend Social Confab Five of the big brass from Car olina left yesterday to take part in the Social Standards Confer ence at Beulah High SchooL Chancellor Robert B. House will Rive the kick off speech at the conference which will include all high school seniors in Surry County. The closing address in the afternoon will be made by ftoy Armtsrong, director of admissions. English department; Dr. H. T.j euer of the history department; and William D. Perry, director of the University Testing Service, lead discussion groups. if- " : .-.fyv'--vAv-.-.-- - oTwo-Pairii'y PICTURED FOR THE FIRST TIME is ihe U. S. Air Force's new global super-bomber, ihe YB-52. powered by eight jel engines mounted on the swept-back wings. The giant crafi is shown (top) during a takeoff, revealing ihe unusual double-iandem landing gear. Ii has a wing span of 185 feei; a length of 153 feet, and a 48-foot high tail. The bottom phoio shows ihe ship with wheels retracted. A story on jet air travel is in ihe column of left. The Philanthropic 'Assembly voted this week 7-5 against a bill which would abolish the present two-party system , in favor of a liberal and conserva tive party setup. ' Don Sherry, author of the bill, argued that the present system contains both conservatives and liberals, and that by. separating the two; into different parties, much of the party bickering would be erased. Ed BizzelL speaking in oppo sition to Sherry, claimed that the bill was 'stupid.' "I can see Vice-President Barkley stand ing before the Democratic na tional convention saying, "Well, boys, we must tonight dissolve ourselves as this party will no longer exist.' The members of the party would never stand for such foolishness."" Six girls from Woman's Col lege in Greensboro attended the Phi meeting in New Eastr The girls observed preceedings that -they might begin the formation of an affiliate of the Phi at WC. In executive session, four -students were selected' for awards to be presented at the annual . Dialectic Senate-Philanthropic Assembly banquet next Thursday night. Those who will get awards are Syd Shu ford, . Asheville, outstanding freshman; Dick Charnock, Ashe ville, outstanding senior; Fred -Crawford, Sanford, outstanding debater, and Dick Bradshaw, " Thomasville, special service award for contributing most to the Phi this year. Childcxafi Jobs A representative of Chlldcraft books for children will be in the YMCA Library from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. today and tomorrow to conduct interviews with those in terested in summer work with Marshall Field, Enterprises.' Square Dance Club The Square Dance Club will meet from 4 p.m. until 6 o'clock today downstairs in the Women's Gym. i - " i 4 i t - WiiW- nmnt,i.iviiit-.irr-ii-rti- J it) r Training in many different engineering branches opens the door to opportunity at Du Pont In recent issues of the Digest, we have discussed opportunities for me chanical and chemical engineers at Du Pont. However, this is onl part of the picture. The special skills of more than a dozen different branches of engineering are needed on our scientific teams. For example: Architectural, civil and structural en gineers are attached to the central Engineering Department which han dles most of the Company's construc tion projects. In this work they make site investigations, lay out new plants, design buildings, determine construction methods and specify materials and equipment. They also assemble necessary labor forces at field locations and supervise the building and assembly of complex manufacturing facilities. Electrical engineers aid in designing process equipment and facilities for power generation and distribution, air conditioning and refrigeration. Instrumentation is another impor tant phase of their work. Continuous automatic analyzers for cyanides; ultra-violet gas analyzers, multivarf able recorders, and new photo-multiplier circuits are just a few of their developments. . Industrial engineers help develop methods and standards for new or improved manufacturing processes. This work often serves as training for production supervisors. Metallurgical engineers play an es sential part in the central Engineering Department's program of research. Their studies are aimed at improving equipment and construction materi als, as well as methods of measure ment and control. Safety engineers strive constantly to improve the. broad safety program initiated by the Company's founder 150 years ago. Du Pont is undef standably proud of its safety record, which in 1950 was eight times better than the chemical industry's as a whole, and fourteen times better, than the average for all industry. Carl GosIIne, B.S., Iowa '41, conducts meteor ological engineering studies to help solve plant chimney problems involving smoke and acids. This by no means completes the list. Every U. S. industry utilizes Du Pont products. Hence there is also a need for specialists in mining; petroleum, textiles and many other branches of engineering. - Along with chemists, physicists and other technical personnel, al most every , kind of engineer finds opportunity at Du Pont. Your engi neering degree is only a door opener.' Any man with ideas, imagination and the ability to handle people will find plenty of room for advancement in this company that has never stopped growing.
