Klolzman '61 Second-term Registration in Junior Week \ometimes women have to carry the banners

ERHAPS you'll see the story of Joan of PArc, as portrayed on the screen by Miss Ingrid Bergman. It's a thrilling episode in the world's history, proving that sometimes a woman must take the lead in the fight she believes in. Modern women, too, must often pick up the banners ... in their struggle for the security and well-being of their family. Though earning the necessities of life is pri- marily a man's job, sometimes it takes a woman. to insure her family's future by setting them on the only sure road to security . .. through ade- quate, regular savings. For the modern woman, there is one fool- proof method of winning her fight for savings. It's United States Savings Bonds—an invest- ment with the soundest backing in the world ... an investment that pays back four dollars for every three. And there are two foolproof savings plans, too. One is the Payroll Savings Plan, for those on a company payroll. The other is the Bond- A-Month Plan, for those not on a payroll, whereby bonds are purchased through the checking account. If your home is your career, urge your husband, and all other working members of your family, to start now—today—on the bond-saving plan for which they are eligible. If you are working, sign up yourself at your firm or bank, and influence the other working members of your family to do the same. Soon the bonds will start piling up. Soon you'll know that confidence in the fu- ture which only comes through saving. It's a wonderful feeling for anyone. And for a woman—how doubly wonderful!

Who put up the money for the new little house on Orchard Street? Ed Mead has a good job but he hasn't been out of the army long enough to save up that kind of cash. It had begun to look as though the Meads might have to stay "doubled up" with the folks even after the new baby came . . . Did a rich aunt die? No ... It was The Prudential that helped them. One of the chief ways The Prudential puts policyholders' money to work all over this country and Canada, is in helping people buy and build homes. The Prudential has over two hundred thousand such investments at the present time. They range all the way from many that are smaller than the Meads' $5,800 mortgage to loans several times that amount, with an average of less than $6,500. Yes, The Prudential believes that there is no better way to make the funds entrusted to it productive for you and yours, than to lend money to the people throughout the United States and Canada so they can own their homes.

They passed the ball in Cornell territory until time was almost gone. Then, with seconds left, Harman saw his chance and let go with his game winning toss. Not only did Cornell lose this ball game; it also lost the services of the team's high scorer and stellar defense man, Lansaw, with an elbow injury. Thus, it was definitely an underdog team that took the floor against Princeton in Barton Hall, February 12. Myron Schaf- fer '51 of Davis, Cal., started in the place of Lansaw. Despite the fact that he had seen little action before, it was Schaffer who sparked Cornell to a 59-44 triumph. He was outstanding in all departments; his work off the backboards and his pass- ing were particularly fine. In addition, seven of his eleven field-goal attempts were successful and he made two of four fouls, ending up with 16^ points which made him high for the night.

ILLUSTRATION BY NORMAN ROCKWELL

Along the highways of speech, in every part of the country, thousands of Bell telephone linemen help to keep your tele- phone service good — and make it better. They are on the job to maintain unin- terrupted service over millions of miles of wire and cable — repair 'trouble when it occurs and try to anticipate it before it occurs. They are the men who push forward the lines of communication to new places and new people — through cities and towns, across deserts, under rivers and over mountain tops. By breaking all con- struction records since the war, they have played an important part in the constant improvement in telephone service. In the everyday doing of the job, as in the dramatic emergencies of fire and storm, the telephone linemen help to get the message through.
