With the near completion thisweek of the new WPA-builtbrooding and breeding house, the

projection of the image on a two-foot ^ p o u l t r y husbandry department atthe Ag School has completed facil-ities for instruction in broodingand progeny testing.

The house, built according to mod-ern ideas for labor-saving and eco-nomical production, is compact, con-venient and- easily regulated.

Prevention of soil and water-bornediseases is emphasised. The chickswill not touch the ground until theygo on range at 10 to 12 weeks of age,although there is a screened sun-porch on the east side over a con-crete apron.

Has Double WallsThe house is composed of ten 10 x

12 shed type rooms, sent end to endwith a 12-x 12 two-story service sec-tion in the center. The double wallsof novelty siding on the outside andmatched fir inside are insulated withoat hulls and are the same as in thetwo-story laying house built in 1934.

Heating facilities include gas brood-ers and hot water auxiliary heat withpipes on the rear wall. A recircula-

tion system of ventilation is achievedby a handy arrangement of inlet andoutlet openings.

Will Continue Colony HousesFor practice in the operation of

coal-burning brooders, students willcontinue to use the colony houses onthe range adjacent to the main build-ings.

At the present time, half of thebrooder-breeding house is being usedfor pedigree activities and progenytesting of breeders and the other halffor regular brooding work, althoughlater in the season the pedigree di-vision will be used for broilers.

The incubation program of the farmprovides for 1800 chicks for the farm,as well as chicks for students, gradu-ates, and other special orders.

Normal fall flock at the State Farmconsists of 1250 layers. The pedi-gree breeding flock has 100 femalesand 5 males, one male and 20 femalesbeing housed in a 10-12 unit, equip-ped with trapnests. Mass mating ofselected breeders is carried on in thelarger pents of the regular layinghouse, to which the stock now beingpedigreed will be removed as spaceis required for young stock in thebrooder-breeding house.

Eddie DeLange, Red Norvo, TonyPastor and others. Some of Hudson'sfine jobs with the pen brought forth"The Night Is Blue," which was re-corded by Red Norvo and featuredsuch artists at Norvo, Chu Berry, Ber-rigan, Shaw and others. Among hiswork are "You're Not The Kind"whi,ch made Henry "Red" Allenfamous and "White Heat" which isstill featured by Jimmie Lunceford.

Hudson's band was recently review-ed in "Meronome" and received anA minus rating from the critics. Thismagazine has given an "A" rating toonly a few bands in the musicalworld. These include Krupa, Lunce-ford, Ellington, Goodman, Norvo,Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, All Kava-lin, Harry James and Glenn Miller.

During the intermission of the StPat's Ball, music for continuous dan-cing will be provided by an additionalband which will be on campus.

Breaking all precedents as to price,the St. Pat's board overstepped allprevious budgets in signing an orches-tra that will undoubtedly overshadowany orchestra ever to have played atAlfred.

Will Hudson and his Orchestrawere recently rated by professionalmusicians' magazines as one of themost up-and-coming young orchestrasin the circuit. In a poll conducted bystation WNEW (creators of "Make-Believe Ballroom)'which has built aname for many of America's largestorchestras, Will Hudson was ratedfifth best all-around orchestra on theair. -

climaxes the St. Pat's Festival onMarch 21, Hudson will bring to Alfred14 outstanding musicians and vocal-ists.

known among musicians. He was thespark-plug behind the old Hudson- De-Lange Orchestra, which was ratedamong the top-notch solid bands of thecountry when they played here fiveyears ago.

Hudson is also a musician of nomean ability, handling a piano in amanner comparable to any of themasters. He has been leading hispresent orchestra for fourteen months—making records for Decca, broad-casting for Columbia Network apdhas played engagements for many ofthe large universities including Cor-nell, Duke, Southern California, Min-nesota and Michigan.

The Board this year is working with one aim—to please. Thatis why hot orchestras will make four appearances, (Tea Dance,Variety Show, Formal Ball and Intermission), why the open houseprogram will emphasize action demonstrations, why the entire fes-tive spirit is having its face lifted. Every effort is being made toorganize a festival which will remove the stigma of past years' mis-takes.

St. Pat's Festival represents the only annual effort to entertainthe entire campus. In honor of the patron saint of engineers, theceramists give Alfred an idea of what the Engineers do and thespirit in which they do.it.

Alfred can aid the lioard in inaugurating a new festive spiritwhich can become a worthy campus tradition. Everything cannotbe free, but as much free entertainment is offered as possible; andthe nominal fee events give promise of really being "the best ever".The fate of the unfortunate Pine Hill Prelude ought not be accordedto Alfred's Big Week-end.—A.

Union Now, Or When?The debate over the passage of the lease-lend bill is a reminder

of the widely discussed program of "Union Now" which would at-tempt to unite all democracies so that they might have a unitedfront to prevent the spread of totalitarianism. With the discussionof tlic Aid-to-Britian bill comes the thought that some of the de-mocracies which Clarence K. Streit, and Dr. Vernon Nash, whospoke on the Alfred campus last spring on that topic, and othershave said could "and should be included in a Union Now programare now either in complete subservience to a foreign power or areat least under the domination of that power.

The past year may be used as a fine example of how the totali-tarian governments have swept away the freedom of small countriessuch as Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Holland, Norway and othersbecause these countries ^lave no strong power to back them. Theirsmall parliamentary governments were helpless in the onrush oftotalitarianism. In some cases the citizens of these nations now haveto aid the aggressor nation in fighting their former allies.

The passage of the lease-lend bill by the Senate, Saturdaynight, may be indicative of more cooperation between remainingdemocracies. But is seems the significant factor is that democraciesare realizing too late what the great advantages of "Union Now"might have been.

What "Union Now'' might have done if it had been adoptedbefore the conflict began is hard to say, .but the important thirig isthat the democracies musi work together now to save what is justlytheirs.

Swim Or SinkWe hear a great deal about the World Student Service Fund.

Perhaps to some of us it isn't much more than a few letters jumbledtogether. We disinterestedly contribute a few cents to the cause;iiid forget about it.

There is, however, ;i real need and the students of this countryhave undertaken to do something about it. Colleges all over thecountry are making drives and producing generous sums.

Students in the warring countries are having, to put it mildly,a "tough" time.. In our comparative safety of the moment, we donot realize their conditions of life and study. Were Alfred Univer-sity to be suddenly bombed from the map, would we -pick up thefew materials remaining to us and retreat ever farther into thewilds of Allegany? That's a debatable question, not to be debatedhere.

European and Chinese student, however, are carrying on re-gardless, in prison camps and isolated sports. It is for them that wecontribute money 'for books, equipment, food, clothing and medicalsupplies.

The question is asked, "Why should we bother about studentsoverseas?" And the answer is given that students are an indispen-sable group for future international reconstruction when and ifthe world finally gets back to some semblance of sanity. Intellectuallife is in danger of disintegration abroad and intellect is going tobe necessary later, though it isn't accomplishing much now.

Alter you have discovered thesource of the novel's title, you maybe a little dismayed to note its sub-title, "A Barsetshire War Survey".Be reassured: gloom is conspicuous-ly absent from the book. Does itthen deal' with trivialities? Is it mere-ly froth? By no means. It does haveto do principally with things whichone in this age of staggering eventsmight call "little," but might it notbe these very things which will lastthrough and beyond the nightmare?

Nor is there in "Cheerfulness BreaksIn" a shred of false sentiment.There is a good deal of hilarity anda little pathos, but it is completelysincere. Although its purpose is in-dubitably entertainment, this novelpoints out in a very skillful and sub-tle way just what well-bred Englishfolk are really like. And anyoneshould be interested in that.

Surely anyone but a misanthropewith a morning-after head willchuckle with delight at the deliciousbut somewhat vague Mrs. Brandon:the Mixo-Lydian refugees; Mr. Biss-sell, who didn't like "Capittleists";Rose Birkett. to whom everything waseither "foul" or "dispiriting"; andMiss Hampton, who wrote BannedBooks of the Month and owned theuncomplaining canine marvel, Smigly-Rydz-Mannerheim. And, as is to beexpected, in the midst of all thetumult, romance still has time toflower.—C. B. L.

The win-ners of these will play in the finalsin a two out of three series to de-termine the intramural champion andthe winner of the cup. Last year'swinner was Klan Alpine.

The stars of the season were un-doubtedly the Mason brothers andGeorge Kellogg for Klan Alpine,while for Delta Sig the stalwart ac-tion of "Mike" Greene, cannot be over-looked in another of his sterling ath-letic feats, and last year's Freshmanguard "Stumpy" Tafuro.

Leaving- Thursday morningfour merftbers of the Alfred Uni-versity wrestling team will en-train with Coach Alex Yunevichfor Cleveland, Ohio, where theywill enter the annual Tri-StateWrestling Championships on Fri-day.

These men include Mike Greene,heavyweight; Reggie Miner, 165 lb.class; Royce Luce, 136 lb. class; and"Frenchy" Le Blanc, in either the 121or 128 lb. class, depending upon whichweight he can make.

Includes Five StatesOn Friday, Alfred's matmen will

meet wrestlers from five states includ-ing 20 colleges. For the past yearsKent State has dominated the tourney,but this year Coach Yunevich feelsthat it will be another story.

He is quite pleased with the con-dition of his men, physically andmentally, and expects that they willreturn with their share of the awards.Medals will be awarded for the firstfour places in each event.

Greene Is UndefeatedPerhaps the best bouts as far as

local interest is concerned, will bethose of Mike Greene and ReggieMiner. Greene, undefeated in inter-collegiate competition this year,should live up to his advance noticesand put on a good battle, while Miner,always a threat can also be countedon for a good performance. In thelight weights, Luce and Le Blanc canalso be expected to look good.

The grapplers will return to Alfredsometime Sunday, and will then beginworking out for the NCAA Cham-pionships to be held at JLehigh Uni-versity on March 21.

Compares Glass to Peanut BrittleGlass Tech SeniorMakes ComparisonOf Candy to GlassHoward Cooper, glass tech-

nology senior, in this article en-titled ' 'Peanut Brittle and Glass,"compares the making of glass andthe making of peanut brittle.

By describing the well known pro-cess of making the brittle part ofpeanut brittle, one can, with verylittle changing, describe the processo£ making glass. So forgetting thepeanuts, the discussion will continue,revealing the similarities betweenglass and peanut brittle.

Considers CompositionThe composition of the two materi-

als will be considered first. In gen-eral, the peanut brittle, which will bereferred to as candy, is composedmainly of sugar. In comparison withthis, glass is made of sand. Both thesand and the sugar are crystalline,and both have about the same grainsize.

Other constituents of the candyare salt, vanilla, butter, and perhapsmolasses. In glass, there is lime,decolorizer to take out the undesir-able colors, where candy has a smallamount of various ingredients thatproduce the desired color. Aluminumfn glass and molasses in candy acttoward the same end in their respec-tive batches. Both tend to make thebatch easier to "work," and both tendto help keep the batches from cry-stallinzing. This will be taken upin a little more detail later.

Fluxes IncludedThere is one more constituent of

each batch that has not yet beenmentioned. These two constituentsare soda ash for glass and water forthe candy. These play a major rolein their respective batches. They actas fluxes. A flux is a substance addedto a batch or a mixture of any kindto regulate the temperature at whichit fuses or melts. The flux is usual-ly added to lower the fusion tempera-ture.

Of course you are saying to your-self, "Water merely dissolves thesugar and the other constituents ofthe candy batch." True it does dothis. Dissolving the batch is the mainreason for which it is used. On theother hand, the mixture is heated sothat it dissolves, or melts, if you willallow me to use the term for" com-parison later, more rapidly and com-pletely. When the batch is well dis-fJved, it is boiled until all excesswater is removed. The fluxing actionof the water is chemical as well asphysical reaction. For this article, letit suifice to say that both types ofreactions occur. A full discussion ofthis particular point would requireconsiderable explanation which cannot be included here.

In the case of glass the soda ash

also acts in two ways at the sametime. Chemically it acts on the sandforming a compound known as sodiumsilicate and releasing carbon dioxide.Physically the soda ash melts first,and, on becoming liquid, helps' to dis-solve some of the other ingredients ofthe glass batch. So, the comparisonbetween the water of the candy andthe soda ash of the glass is veryclose.

Candy is boiled to remove water.Likewise, glass is boiled, at a muchhigher temperatures of course, to re-move the carbon dioxide and othervolatile matter so that no bubbleswill be present in tile final product.Boiling of the glass stirs the batchand aids in securing a homogenousproduct. Boiling of candy aids in itsmixing, although the action often, isnot sufficient to keep the sugar fromsticking and burning.

In comparing the solidification ofglass with the solidification of candy,several points of similarity are tobe found. The fact of the matteris, the whole physical character ofthe solidification process of one canbe substituted for the other. Success-ful candy is boiled to remove thewater, thus making the batch moreviscous. Viscosity is thickness or re-sistance to flow. When it is of theright viscosity, the candy is pouredout and allowed to cool. Since theviscosity increases much more rapid-ly than the temperature decreases,the candy batch soon becomes so vis-cous that the molecules can not orientthemselves into crystals.

The same applies to ' glass. It isheated until it is all melted and theexcess gas is all removed, and thenit is cooled. As the batch cools, theviscosity increases very rapidly, sothat the batch becomes rigid beforecrystals, called seeds in the glass, canform.

A glass batch which is not viscousenough will be extremely seedy, thusbeing of very little commercial value.Likewise, a batch of candy which isnot boiled to the right viscosity be-fore ft is cooled, will have crystalsin it. The term applied to this caseis "grainy" or "sugary". Sugarycandy is unsatisfactory just as seedyglass is unsatisfactory.

When glass breaks, it breaks withwhat is called concoidal fracture.That is, it breaks along curved lines.Likewise, when candy is broken, itbreaks with concoidal fracture.
