We can find no specific plans for paving that road despite the efforts of the University to get it paved. Other complications arise because of possible future tie-ins between Rio Bravo and the International Airport exits and entrances. As you have gathered, our answer is somewhat vague. We wish wo could say something more definite. Q.

Will we have to make up the day of school missed because of cold weather? D.C. A. Yes, it will have to be made up but just when has not yet been determined. A decision on when is expected this week. As of right now, the last day of school is June 2.

Q. Who was the little boy In the Charlie Chaplin film shown the evening of the Academy Awards? The little boy seemed as if he didn't want to be separated from In grand Charles. A. That boy was Jackie Coogan, who skyrocketed to fame with Chaplin in the 1321 film "The Kid." While in Paris, France, back in 1922, 0MAL became so infatuated with "Le Gosse" that he watched the film with French subtitles six times. Q.

What do you feed earthworms? M.N. A. Any type of vegetable leavings that decompose, such as potato peelings, carrot scrapings, tomato leavings, says John Davis, Game and Fish Dept. Q. One of our land turtles died and the little girl next door wanted It.

John Applegarth, graduate assistant in herpetology, says If she will bring the little dead turtle to his office in Room 39 of the UNM Biology he will do the job for her. It's a messy job at best and Applegarth has a special turtle shell scraper.

Q. While I was visiting In California recently I ran onto a whole colony of Basques whose language sounded like nothing I bad ever heard. I had always thought it was kin to some Latin language and thought that Basque might even have some relationship to the Spanish word "Bosque." E. II. A.

Basque is similar to no other known language, belongs to no family of languages as Spanish is in the Indo-European family and others are Semitic says UNM's Dr. Sabine Ulibarri. The origins of the people and the language are vague. Like all primitive languages, it is lacking in "cover" words. Whereas in English for instance the word tree takes in many kinds of trees, in Basque you have an individual word for each kind of tree no covering word, which makes it difficult to learn.

The Basques, who inhabit three northern provinces In Spain, claim to be the only unmixed descendants of the pre-Aryan inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula. Q. What role did Thomas L. Thomas play in the radio program "The Manhattan Merry-Go-Round?" G.B. A.

Thomas L. (Llyfuny) Thomas was the singer on the show that programmed imaginary visits to night spots in Manhattan, says the Fine Arts Dept. of the Public Library, Incidentally, the choral group on that show was the Jerry Mann Singers. VQ. Where can my husband and I obtain a senior citizen's card In order make It easy to get a discount on bus fares and at theaters? Mrs.

G.A. A. Your Medicare cards serve the purpose. Of course, you i must be 65 before you get Medicare cards. People nowadays seem to be expanding the term "senior citizen" to take in any 1 person who is 55 or above.

Q. Can you possibly obtain the following addresses for me: Senators Alan Cranston, Edward (Ted) Kennedy, Joseph M. Montoya? N.M.O. i i A. The only address you need for any U.S.

Senator is in care of the U.S. Senate Washington D.C., 20510. Q. Em planning a trip to Europe in early summer. I want to eat one "elegunt" meal In each country 1 visit.

Everybody has heard of the great Parisian restaurant "Maxim's." Travel hooks say it is extremely expensive. What do they mean by expensive $100, $50, or just what? Possibly you'd make a guesstimate? F.S.B., Santa Fe. A. Not quite that bad. Our latest information from the $7 to $10." Then you'd add 8 per cent because of the devaluation of the dollar of recent date.

No information is given on costs of side dishes ((salads, vegetables, breads, beverages desserts). Our guesstimate is that you could stuff yourself at Maxim's including tip for around $25. Q. I've heard a record called "Taos, New Mexico" which is all about being in jail in Taos and I wonder If it was recorded by a local group. If so, which one, and can it be bought in Albuquerque? E.IL A.

The record is not local, was recorded by R. Dean Taylor under the Rare Earth Label. It's available in at least one record shop we know in Albuquerque for 98 cents. Q. What's the deadline for signing up to register for voting if a person will be 18 by Nov.

7, but not by the time the books will be closed before the election? W.B. A. You must register to vote 42 days before the general election Nov. 7 which will be about Sept. 2ti.

If a person is not 18 by or before the closing date, he can sign an affadavit stating when he will be 18 and still go ahead and register. Q. My Volkswagen bus is considered an automobile by legal description of the state as far as registration is concerned. However, when I sUippc at a station that advertises a free car wash with the gas fill-up, I was told the car did not qualify because I didn't have a car but rather a van. I don't question their right to limit the car wash but they certainly should have signs up as other car wash places have to warn a person of restrictions.

Any place I can report what I consider an unethical practice? O.O. A. Yes, anything you consider unethical or fradulcnt should be reportded to Chairman Crown's office, the Consumer Protection Division at the attorney general's office in Santa Fe. Records are kept on all types of service station complaints such as yours. Q.

When, oh, when will the road be paved south of Gibson to the University of New Mexico South Golf Course? The course is so popular but the dust raised by cars is something fierce. V.P. A. This Is a complicated project because it i 1 cooperation of so many different agencies city engineers, State Highway The University, etc, and it is a job to get all of Journal Action Line solves your problems and answers your questions.
