Plan Resurfacing Of Center Street Present plans of council call for placing a black top surface on Center street, only from Main street near the Lincoln theatre to the bridge at Mill Creek.

Those residing on the other side of the creek, with tne exception of a small minority, failed to go along on the original plans. It Is now reported that the entire street may be repaired with the black top surface, as many residents, not heretofore interested, have Changed their minds, after studying the low cost on other streets, and the improvements to other streets, such as Lincoln and Church streets, and have asked for permission to sign the petitions.

Kaufmann of Penn State College Engineer Defense Training School, which has been conducted at West Pittston High School this Summer, addressed members of Pittston cussing "Some Aspects of Science in Defense." Prof. Kaufmann, who is head of the chemistry department of Carle-ton College, at Northfleld, explained some pertinent facts about materials used in defense.

He said that aluminum, although more plentiful than iron, is more difficult to obtain. Forty million pounds were used by the aviation industry last year and it is expected that that industry will use one and a half billion pounds next year. Helium, he said, is more practical for use in aviation because it is non-inflammable. He listed as another useful product, bromine, which is obtained from sea water, and is mixed with gasoline to remove lead and produce high test gas. Originally obtained from coking coal, TNT is now ob tained by a much faster method from pethroleum, he said.

The speaker also described details of the West Pittston training school In which 82 young men enrolled. Of these, 75 have completed studies sat isfactorily and will be graduated Wednesday. They studied courses in mechanical drawing, mathematics, chemistry, physics and mechanics. war- held from- 8 -te-4 each day for young men between the ages of 16 and 19. Fourteen hieh schools were represented.

The Federal Government allocated nine million for such classes to train workmen. Of that fund, eight million has been used and one and a half million of that amount was Bpent in Pennsylvania. Probably because, Prof. Kaufmann explained, Pennsylvania is an industrial State. CLAIRE'S BEAUTY SHOP Mid-Summer Special Permanpnts $1 87 LaGrange St.
