With the idea of establishing lasting peace and avoiding all future wars, a peace plan has been drawn up by Lucille Colkitt, Theresa Incorvia, and Genevieve Parlato. It has been signed by Italy, France, Germany, England, Japan and Russia. The best equipped hospital in the world has been built by those famous contractors, Andrew Car' den and Joseph Calabrese, under the direction of William Clemens, the architect.

The head doctors are Joseph Constantino, Salvatore Pace, and Theodore Schultz. The perfect nursing staff is headed by Josephine Polino. The success of the hospital is due to such lovely nurses as Lucy Petock, Jennie Terranova, Rose Bassow, Archangel Piccillo, Mary Melancon, Teresa D'Amico, and Marion Reino. Hollywood's largest department store is owned by Marjorie Sewell and Pauline Benevento. Joseph Crimi, John Mellon, and Joseph Digati make those ultra fashionable models, which are displayed in all high priced stores.

On the corner of Broadway and 5 4th Street there is a unique tea shop. It is owned by Anna Montesano, Frances Tracy, Josephine Mineo, Dorothy Barry, and Concetta Lomanto.

In the music world, Robert Hennessey is director of the New York Symphony Orchestra which is composed of ZOO members. Joseph Petralia thrills the crowd with his violin solos, while Charles Manguso and Salvatore DiMarco together with Lena Montaldi and Grace Catanzaro have been voted the world's best quartette in harmonica playing. The orchestra is under the management of Victor Petruzelli and Frank Oddo. I hear that a group of nationally known scientists, including Professors Santo Bellanti, Eleanor Aquilina, Salvatore Ianello, Concetta Alfano, Florence Cannon and Salvatore Stolfo, have opened a huge laboratory which embraces three square miles, in an attempt to find the fourth dimension or some' thing else. Dean Bellanti has promised that within a short time he will announce something to the world, which will astonish mankind. In the field of discovery and exploration I learn that Samuel Zuppiroli, Charles Eppolito, Joseph Broderick and Harry Albert in quest of finding the fountain of youth in the middle of the Ant' arctic, accidently discovered a large island, which they named Zeba, in honor of themselves. With' out exploring the island, they sailed for England immediately. There they hired the famous explorer, Joe Corbo, to survey the island.

In the political horizon, I see Louis Privitera running for President of the United States as an independent candidate, and winning by more electoral votes than any other president since George Washington. President Privitera has appointed the following people to his cabinet: Floyd Sill as Secretary of State, Richard Nicholson as Secretary of War, Catherine Patterson as Secretary of Treasf ury, Mildred Croglio as Secretary of the Interior and Betty Hanavan as Secretary of Secretaries, an office recently created by President Privitera.

Here are items from Campus Topics -Geralzline Coyne and Eva Pacina, after years of labora- tory work, have finally succeeded in discovering the formula for making Flying Belts. They have been awarded the contract to manufacture the belts for the Sodaro and Alberti Company, of which Josephine is president and Vincent vicefpresident. They have appointed Victor Bonito and Frank Nigro as heads of the sales force. According to the heads of the sales force, the orders for the belts are coming in at such a rate of speed that all the orders cannot possibly be filled within the next year. In the Do You Know column, note that the President has appointed Anna Montaldi as am' bassador to England and Lorraine Shotwell as ambassador to Abyssinia. Victor Mecca, the world's greatest pianist, and Russell Castilone, famous international saxophone player, are on a tour of all the high schools of the United States. Tomorrow they are scheduled to play in G. C. H. S. Alphonso LaMastra is president of Harvard and Charles Coleman, of Yale. On the society page there is a column entitled How to Make Love written by George Roberts, that famous authority.

They are George Buscaglia, Angelo Suozzi, Charles Cascio, Sidney War- ren, and Anthony Zupa.
