Lionel Stander, who played the part of the humorous athletic trainer in the mo tion picture "Milky Way" which was shown at the Carolina Theatre recently, was at on'e time a student at the Univer sity of North Carolina.

TAPP CO. $1,000 Prizes To Be Given By Readers Digest Magazine Offers Big Money For Original Non-Piction Articles Sent Before May In an effort to unearth new writing talent and subject matter in the non fiction field, the March issue of the Reader's Digest announces five prizes of $1,000 each- for unpublished non-fiction articles by persons who never have con tributed to national periodicals. In ad dition to these prizes, $500 will be paid for each manuscript judged acceptable for publication. "There are people in all walks of life," according to the announcement, "who, thanks to unusual experience, observation or reflection, might well write magazine articles of lasting interest and signifi cance, but for lack of encouragement have never done so. College students are cited by the Di gest as offering particular promise. "An illuminating experience, a special knowledge of some phase of American life, or an unusual opportunity to ob serve human nature may be had by indi viduals in any occupational field, ranging from students, teachers, housewives or chemists, to reporters, nurses, clergymen, clerks or engineers." In order that such new and unexploited talent may be brought to light, the only persons not eli gible for competition are those who have already contributed to a national maga zine of the "general interest" class. Full details of the competition are given in the March issue of Reader's -Digest, or will be mailed upon request by address ing the editors at Pleasantville, New York. It is felt that this encouragement of new, non-fiction talent will be justified. It was the Digest, it will be remembered, that encouraged a young writer, at the time largely unknown, to prepare the now famous article-"And Sudden Death" one of the most widely discussed articles ever printed. The Digest editors state that this com petition, which closes May 1st, in no way affects the continued reprint folicy of Reader's Digest. --v. ". o.

This and many other interesting facts were revealed to the group of univer sity chemistry students who recently vis ited the sugar refinery and Dr. Herty's paper plant at Savannah, Ga. and th< Standard Oil Co.'s plant -as Charleston S.

The sugar is next mixed with syrup and sent to the centrifugal .machines where many of the impurities are re moved. The sugar entering is of a (lar< brown color but the sugar leaving is of a light brown or yellow tint. This light yellow sugar is now melted with water, heated and run through th< filter presses.

In order to change the light amber col ored liquor to a beautiful white, bone chai is used. The bone char is in cisterns, eacl contaitiing 60,000 lbs. of char.

At Dr. 1-lerty's paper plant, the much talked about method of making all kinds of pulp and paper out of southern pine is being consistently and successfully de veloped through much hard work and extreme patience. Barked and sawed pine logs are fed into a chopper which reduces them into small er pieces. These are then finely ground by pressing them against a wheel of ex pensive carbortidun. This material is made into pulp on a paper machine after it has passed through a beater and a re finer. To make paper the fine wood fiber is first digested in sufite or sufate solution, to remove the lignin and leave the cellu lose. This suspension is beaten, refined and placed on one one of the paper maker, an expensive, highly specialized machine, and the finished paper is wound on rolls at the other end. The students making the trip are: Cul len Capehort, William Gardner, Soloman Kahn, Cecil Meeks, Ewen Robinson, Jimmy Goggans, and Altherton Whaley. They were accompanied by Prof. J. L. Moore.

But like so many such, Governor IlIerring has to be approached with stealth and circum spect ion. And that is the way his youngest son, a student at the University of Iowa, ap proached his father while asking for money recently. The student's letter went like this "Well-beloved father : I have not a penny, nor can I get :iny save through you, for all things at the university are so dear ; nor can I study in 'ny code or my digest for they are all tatteted. More over, I owe 10 crowns in dues to the pro vost and can find no man to lend it me. I send you word of greetings and of money. "The student hath need of many things if he will profit here; his father and his kin must needs supply him freely that he be not compelled to pawn his books, but have ready money in his purse, with gowns and furs and decent clothing, or he will be damned for a beggar; where fore that men may not take me for a beast, I send you word of greetings and of money. "Food is dear and other god things; I owe in every street and am hard bested to free myself of such snares. Dear father, deign to help me !

"Well beloved-father, to ease my debts contracted at the inn, with the doctor, and to pay my subscriptions to the latun dress and the barber, I send you word of greetings and of money." Commenting that the letter "apparently shows profound study of classical style," the governor remarked, "the screed hath netted him 10 wheels, but it will he folly for him to try the dodge again. -v.
