Central \ Editor: 0 We of the Metropolitan Club would like to take this opportunity to thank publicly the New York Central Railroad and Mr. Barnard Deegan, South Bend Passenger Agent, for the excellent serv ice given to the men who took the "Pace- maksr" over the Easter holidays. It was largaly through the efforts of Mr. Deegan that the students from the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut area received the opportunity to purchase reduced roundtrip tickets for the vaca tion travel. Mr. Deegan's frequent trips to the campus to set up the machinery for the students and his last minute checks at the station before train time helped a great deal in the hectic last minutes before we rolled East. How thoroughly he did his work can be at 6 tested to when it is known that approxi mately 200 Notre Dame men traveled via the Central at Easter. winner either way It is hoped that this move by the '"ail- road will set a precedent for coming va new and different pullover that g-|-v-e-s cation travel.

With Neoprene Type W, it is possible to producevibration-dampeningdevices that are not only highly resistant to oils, heat, grease and sunlight, but recover better than rubber from pro longed pressure. Neoprene Type W also provides the basis for compositions that have a low modulus of elasticity—are easy to stretch. More attractive colors are possible. Soon it may appear in such articles as swim caps, where bright colors and head comfort are impor tant. The brighter-colored composi tions should also appeal to makers of appliance cords, coasters, sink mats, stove mats and toys.
