Jacobson, acting associate area rent-director. Mr. Jacobson said that "thr , number one headline would b< 'Jfche continuance of rent control . fot- at least another year." The 1950 rent control law Which has been extended unt; July 31, 1951, was written wit] the intention of ending the ren stabilization program at th: time, Mr. Jacobson explained. Thf outbreak of the Korean war, how ever, makes it necessary to con tittue the war against inflation .£in the rental front by enactmen %f a strengthened and improver law before Aug. 1, he pointed out Mr. Jacobson paid a high tribute to. the members of the local rent atfirisory board--composed of un paid public spirited citizens from this asea. / "The board has on it peopl' who might be your next dooi neighbor and in some cases are," declared the area rent director &T00 much praise wouldn't be enough for the outstanding jeb the board has done to make this community of ours a better place in which to live."

Atomic Energy La 8«a Scientists believe that tfce ctb » mi, w, (like other stars) keeps going by s process In which four nuclei oi hydrogen atoms combine to form one nucleus 01 a helium atom, and by which atomic energy is releaseo near the Sun's center. This energ) retches the solar surface and t.- rafliated as light and heat, som« retching the earth. All the we use originates In this way.

Lebster CeMerratlea In terms of marine conservation and the Spiny lobster .fisheries, the discovery that young Jobsters can travel great distances if borne by a current is important. If an area should be depleted of the lobsters for any reason, it will probably be restocked naturally by young drifting in from far-away breeding grounds. If an area should be fished eut, however, it might result in the loss of a new generation in another area hundreds of miles away.

A 'free university' opened in the U.S. sector of Berlin in IMS as a counter-measure against Russian dominated Under-den Linden university, has grown in student enrollments from 2200 students to 5,000 today. Twenty per cent of the students are sons and daughters of laborers and a quarter of the student body Is comprised of women, a percentage that would have been inconceivable in pre-war Germany. When the western powers entered' Berlin jn 1945 they discovered that the Russians, who had arrived some months earlier, had already begun reorganization of Berlin university along Soviet lines. The U.S. education representative at that time proposed that the university should be properly placed under control of the Berlin city government so that all four occupation powers would share control of the school. This was blocked by a Russian veto and the university opened in 1946 under Russian control. Communist professors were installed in key positions and the University was flooded with student party-liners. * When the majority of the students resisted Communist pressure, more direct methods were applied, six students were arrested and kidnapped in the spring of 1947. It was then that the Berlin city authorities decided to open a new free university in the western sectors of Berlin. 1 * Today 42 per cent of the students J in the new University are refugees from the Soviet zone, nearly half of the remaining students are from west Berlin with 5 per cent coming from western Germany and the rest from foreign countries. Liw, medicine, philosophy and economic and social science make up the currioulum. OUR SERVKBft Darreld J.

Lewly Pedagegve Our word, pedagogue, had a very lowly beginning. It is derived from the Greek word, "paidagogos," whlgh was the designation for a •lave whose duty it was to take his youn_ Athenian master to school. He wss never a teacher, like the modern pedagogue, and usually was too old or weak to be anything but an escort.
