WHO WILL MANAGE MY ESTATE FOR MY FAMILY?

HE management of an estate is essentially a business Tproblem-best performed by an efficient business organ­ ization with specialized knowledge of estate procedure.

It is in the handling of highly technical details that substantial economies can often be effected and losses avoided. This is where the Executor's experience and ability counts, and where the real cost of estate settlement is determined, in decreasing the difference between the gross and the net amount of the estate.

If you are interested in seeing that your family receives the greatest possible net amount from your estate, we would wel­ come an opportunity to talk to you about the advantages of naming this Bank as your Executor and Trustee.

The University of Rochester is drafting letters to be sent to all its former studen,ts in the armed services who have not yet obtained their undergraduate degrees, telling them how to use the Armed Forces Institute to obtain academic credit for training experience. It also explains the four general examinations available for any persons in the armed forces, how to secure their transcripts from the AFI on three different possibilities of academic credit, and to have the transcripts sent on to the University. The University is also urging its men in the service to take the examinations of the Armed' Forces Institute in the fields of study they have covered, or will cover, while in the services, and to have the results reported promptly and officially to the University as soon as they are available. It is likely that many of the thousands of trainees who have obtained part of their college education under the Navy V-12 and other programs, and under the Army Spe­ cialized Training Programs, will want to complete their WOUNDED FLYER, HOME FROM WAR, education after the war.

Balked in their plans to CARO hold a regular get-together in observance of the fifty-fifth FITZSIMONS anniversary of their graduation, the class members, at SPENCER Sheddie's suggestion, circulated a series of personal letters to each other and met at an entirely imaginary dinner at the Shedd home in Naples, with a diagrammed seating ar­ rangement that provided space for living and departed classmates.

The G-E Gun Sight Computer- figures the right answers to life-and-death problems like these, and feeds them to the gun automatically and almost instantly. The gunner is free to con­ centrate on the important business of keeping the enemy in his sights. Electronic tubes help the computer with its automatic thinking. Tiny motors relay the mechanical brabwork to the guns. Each B-29 with its five G-E remote control gun turrets has five of these computers. The P-61 "Black Widow" night fighter is also equipped. About 70 engineers were employed on the computer alone. And G-E employees in seven cities had a part in this accom­ plishment. That's one job. But you would need several sheets of paper to write down all the confidential war jobs tossed into General Electric's pool of engineering minds to solve. Sometime we hope to tell you the rest.
