WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Welded A Aircraft A new wait 1 stabilise steel "cargo plane, the Conestoga, is in full production at the Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Company plant, Philadelphia, The two-engine, 68-foot aircraft with an upsweep after-body giving it the appearance of a flying whale, is the first plane in which welded stainless steel has been used to a large extent, the navy said. Doors on opposite sides of the fuselage permit launching of para- troops and supplies simultaneously from both sidés in contrast to con- ventional 'one-door transports. The cargo compartment, 25 feet eight feet high, is made possible by a. unique manner of attaching. the wing to the Juseclage without pass- ing the wing through the fuselage in the customary fashion. The floor of the cargo compart- ment remains level both on the ground and in flight as the plane is 'equipped. with a tricycle landing gear, . - The ship. is capable of carrying 10,400 pounds over a range of 650 "miles, but its. maximum range can be increased to 3,500 auxiliary fuel tanks. Two 710-horsepower engines give it a cruising speed of 165 miles an hour, Total weight fully loaded is 33,800 pounds. The Conestoga can be convert- ed to troop transport or ambulance use, and an ambulance and jeep both can be carried inside.

When Popes are elected they don the white r of office and go from the Sistine Chapel to the balcony of St. Peter's. From that vantage point His Holiness can - address as many as 200,000 people, who can be accommodated in the great circle, which is surrounded hy, pillars, It is one of the architec tural wonders of Rome, ~ St. Peter's is part of the Vatican, yet it is apart from the Vatican. Entrance to the Vatican is gained by going around the back of the cathedral to a gateway where Swiss Guards do sentry. There is a. pri- vate passage from the Vatican which the Pope 'uses to reach the balcony, but the general public has not ac- 'cess to that approach, Reports from Rome indicate, that neither St, Peter's nor the Vatican have been damaged by the war, 2 (28 Sd | PH t Rash Shuieked £ Ston teh mA, ele of in Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA gue 1.

The building of 04,000 farm 'dwellings in the first ten years af- ter the war is recommended by the subcommittee on Housing and Community Planning. In the same period the subcommittee's report urges repair of 188,000 farm homes. It also advocates new homes for those now sharing their homes with other families, of cottages for farm laborers. Two out. of every five farm dwellings in Canada are in need of repairs to foundations, walls, roofs, 'chimneys, windows or doors, the report of the subcommittee ad- vises. Four out of five have no electricity. Tn every 100, 903 lack bathing facilities or flush toilets. Examining this report, Frank Shefrin, a Dominion Department of Agriculutre economist, com- ments, "For the first time we have a report on housing and commu- nity planning which deals not only with the shelter of urban dwellers but makes specific recommenda- tions... to raise substantially. the 'standard of farm housing." * * * Cheddar cheese production in May was approximately 20 million Ibs, or a little over 34% above that of May, 1943.

Paratrooper Goes Up Before Going Down The young from his plane, yelling "Geroni- mo," .like all good paratroopers, but he didn't go down. He went up. He watched his buddies swing in dimmishing pendulums toward the ground, gazed anxiously as his airplane faded into the distance as he personally floated higher and higher. > "With no more control over his movements than a wisp of thistle- down," relates the official service magazine Air Force, "the para- trooper was tossed about én the point of a thermal wave. "He spent half an hour watch- ing his outfit fighting a fierce mock battle on the ground. In time, the thermal wave released the young man and he came down to join his battalion as a fresh reservist." The magazine said the peculiar 'voyage took place at Fort Ben- ' ning, Ga.

These threads are hollow, light and fluffy -- an excellent material for buoyancy ond insula- tion. Hence, thejr value for life pre- servers! Why not also for sleeping bags?
