DAILYD OFICIALBULLETIN For SmokersI Wearing Spees Urging wearers of eye glasses with plastic frames to use pre- caution when lighting cigarets, Dr. Emory W. Sink, ophthalmolo- gist at Health Service, explained that the so-called tortoise shell rims really have zylonite, a highly inflamable substance, as their base. A short time ago, the physician said, a woman's glasses caught fire when she was attempting to light a cigaret. The flame jumped to her clothing, producing severe burns which resulted in her death. "Under ordinary conditions of lighting a cigaret with the glasses well on the face, there seems little danger, but if for some reason, such as the slipping of the glasses or holding the match too close to the frame, a rapidly burning flame with explosive sparks may follow" he pointed out. Dr. Sink feels that it would be desirable to use a non-inflamma- tory base for the making of frames. However, he is not at- tempting to discourage the wear- ing of plastic frames, but only to offer a warning to careless smokers. Airport ... (Continued from Page 1) sort cannot be done in campus lab- oratories. They will involve the con- struction of equipment used on actual airport jobs. Prof. Housel hopes to obtain such equipment from Army and Navy surpluses, so that students will have an opportunity to become familiar with the maintenance and operation of the equipment actually used on construction projects. Highways And Transport Prof. Roger L. Morrison of the Highway Engineering and Transport Division of the Department of Civil .Engineering said that his division is now considering a course in air transportation. If such a course is established, operations at the air- port would be a valuable source of in- formation for the students taking the course. The Department of Mechanical Efl- gineering looks forward to making use of the airport in connection with au- tomobile road tests, Prof. Ransom S. Hawley, chairman of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, said. He hopes to have a modern test cell on tle field for experimental work on aircraft engines. OtherSchools Interested Other schools of the University are interested in the airport too. "It might well serve as a laboratory for business administration students as well as engineers," Dr. Herbert F. Tag- gert, of the Schoo! o Business Ad- ministration, commented. "With the cooperation of the airlines, students, especially advanced ones, could do re- search work in the fields of manage- ment, accounting and public rela- tions." He explained that there is a definite demand from returning air corps veterans for experience in the business aspects of operating air- planes or airports. According to Dean Samuel T. Dana, the School of Forestry and con- servation, in cooperation with the Department of Aeronautical Engi- neering, would use planes to photo- graph forest areas. These photo- graphs would be used to study land uses and classifications, to identify forest types and to estimate amounts of timber on the ground. This method of timber estimation is a' new devel- opment which shows great promise, Dean Dana said. G E N E R AL H N0 R E D-Ma.Gen. William J.
