mmm HPP3 sri>Tf.^j^rY...i THE McHENRY PLAIHDEALEB T^arsdp.7, Deoerafct? 8 194 MMtetN^NPlHi bmtmiky^nthH Th» mmfcll composer of 8w future will ait down to th« console of hit typewriter, and--manipulathe keyboard--compose a symphony of straight, diagonal, wavy, and saw-tooth lines of varyln « widths and lengths on a strip of paper flowing through the roller assembly of his machine. He will orchestrate as he composes, using patterns of lines and shaded area for sounds never produced until now, rythms more intricate and sustained than can now be produced, plus the sounds of all the conventional instruments we now Know. If he wishes, he can put in • vocal solo or an entire chorus. When the composer has completed his composition,, a technician will take the strip of paper with its pattern of lines and shaded areas and transfer it, using ordinary photographic methods, to the sound track of a conventional motion picture film. Then, by the same means now uted to reproduce sound ini motion p i c t u r e h o u s e s t h r o u g h o u t t h e world, the composition can be played as if by a full orchestra of all the conventional instruments, some new ones, and with the composer's own interpretation as t6 tone, timing, and amplitude. Robert E. Lewis, an associate physicist at Armour Research Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology, calls this "synthetic sound on film." Lewis was the first t4> correlate all the theoretical data on synthetic sound on film and his work has brought the process to its commercial application. Mttffe Llmltattais WkMl H«M ft B« a Dimrviet The spreading movement among medical schools, especially those supported by states and municipals i ties, to limit their enrollments to 1 students Within their respective j states is a disservice to the com- 1 munity, in the editorial opinion of I the Journal of the American Medi- I cal association. " It is pointed out that in the last i prewar year out-of-state students j comprised 17.4 per i cent of the 1 freshman enrollment whereas the total was only 8.2 per cent in the last academic year. j "While tax-supported institutions j might well be expected to render i service chiefly to tt)e community : that supports them, the exclusion ; of all nonresident students may not ! be a real service to the community ! says the editorial. The practice definitely narrows the 'potential area from which a school may seek support. Students who attend such schools do not experience the stimulation and broadening influence of association with student? who have different geographic and educational backgrounds. '\A most serious consequence pf this policy is denial of admission to superior' out-of-state' applicants in favor of less well-qualified residents. As a result the quality of the medical profession is lowered particularly in the states that follow such a short-sighted policy. Hie logical extension of this policy is exclusion from schools in other states of students from states in which medical schools exclude nonresidents. Again the ultimate effect is reduction of the quality of the medical profession in the states concerned." New ItattreM, OM Sprint. Bedsprings are too frequently the forgotten item when it comes to bedding replacement. A survey shows that less than half of (he# people who purchased new mattresses in 1949 intended to buy new bedsprings. Putting a new mattress on an old bedspring is somewhat like making a layer cake with a perfect, evenly raised top layer and a bottom layer that is flat on one side and high on the other. Any woman knows what happens when the layers are put together--the top layer slumps to one side, too, and may crack *nd break as it settles. Lack? UA. Pwehaa*.

Rice Storage Needed Greater public storage capacity for bulk rough rice is needed in Texas, according to the production and marketing administration, department of agriculture. Rough rice drying plants in Texas appear adequate to handle current production if they afe supplemented with adequate bulk storage space. The present need in Texas for storage room for bulk rough rice was canted, as in Louisiana, by a rapid shift to the use of combines and more modern harvesting methods. Ttiere was a total storage capacity in Texas last year for 5,975,700 barrels of rough rice (sacked and bulk combined), almost as much as the total 1948 crop. However, only 491,000 barrels of public storage were available to the average pro- Charming Hostess Catherine de Medici delighted guests with spectacular dishes concocted by her Italian cooks.
