I am jiow' the possesser of an official yellow "grounds pass." Different colors carry different degrees of privilege. It seems the yellow ones are rather limited. I can only use it about the pital grounds and to get in and out of tne uunn Building. . Nowhere else. On one side it is quite official. "This grounds pass is granted to Bishop Theron Luke for' services rendered to Ward 25 patients." It is legally signed by Head Attendant Holger Raunholt. On the other side it is also very offi cial, up to a point. I am assigned an official number, CJ 176589, and my signature validates it.

Written for NEA Service An enormous amount of research has been conducted on the subject of stuttering and other speech defects. Stutterers, it is said, constitute one of the largest groups of handicapped! people in the world. One estimate is that there are 45 million persons who stutter. Approximately seven out of 1,000 persons in 'he United States are believed to suffer from this speech defect. Exactly what causes stuttering and most other speech defects is not known. Some believe that children may be born predisposed to speech disorders. That is, the difficulty is not inherited but the nervous constitution of some children makes them more susceptible io speech difficulties. The sex of the youngster, aid perhaps vthe race, may play some part. Thens are about four or five times as many boys who stutter as girls.. It is said that more of the Caucasian than of the Negro race stutter. The effect of forcing a child to use the right hand is probably not considered as important as it used to be. For example, Dt Barbara, in a book on stuttering (Julian Press $5.00) says: ("Stuttering is not to be considered as an isolated disorder of the speech mechanism but as an outward expression of a more basic character disorgani, sation." The' attack on speech defects, including stuttering, should come as soon as possible after such difficulty is first noticed. : .

Fungi help man by causing decay so that rubbish doesn't accumulate endlessly. This also returns mineral salts to the earth which plants need. Other fungi even create drugs which man uses to fight disease. . There are other fungi which cause diseases of plants and animals, and man is waging a constant battle against them. What are . fungi? v They are simple, dependent plants. We call them "simple" plants because they don't have roots and stems and leaves as complex plants have.' We call them ?dependeni", because they have no chlorophyll, which means they can't manufacture sugar from carbon dioxide and water, as green plants do. So they depend. on food. that has been made by green plants. There are a great many different kinds of fungi, and they differ considerably in their structure. Some fungi consist of single cell. For example, bacteria and yeasts art fungi. The examples of average length of bacteria is about 15000 of an inch. Slime mold is another type of fungus. It differs from all other plants In that it consists of a mass of naked protoplasm that looks like a film of jelly on the surface of a rotting log or other moist object. All other fungi except these three, bacteria, yeast, and slime mold, consist of a mass of colorless threads. Tins k called a "mycelium."

Among many fellow officers was a stolid Russian in field boots whom we all joshingly called "Joe" after his master, Stalin. It's a good guess-thaJoe was the only officer present who could have foreseen a day when the positions of a hostile Germany and a friendly Russia would be exactly reversed in the Western Alliance.
