r.~ -- --m THE MICHIGAN RAILY THUJRSDAY, SEPTE1WBFk 30.94k -- - - I IV W F, DREAMS COME TRUE: Engine Student Gels Field Experience Robert J. Eastman, '49 E. had an opportunity this summer most "near" Seniors' dream of -- he tried out a prospective job to see how he'd like it. One of 50 students chosen fromf leading engineering colleges all1 over the country to take part in the 1948 summer employment pro- gram of one of the world's largest soap companies, Eastman worked in Chicago. * * * THE COMPANY feels that ac- tual experience is the best answer to any senior's quandary about what type he should enter upon graduation, so it provides the summer employe with selected problems which enable him to see various types of work available in the plants and laboratories. Typical of the problems which Eastman handled were a determination of the efficiency of steam boilers and a study of the space requirements for maintenance shops in the me- chanical department. From reports on his work the company later will decide about offering Eastman a job, and East- man at the same time will be able to consider an offer with his eyes wide open. EASTMAN, WHOSE home is in Bronxville, New York, attended Columbia University and Tufts College before entering the Uni- versity. He is extremely active in intramural sports. He served as an ensign in the Navy, during the war. * s Campus Calendar EVENTS TODAY Union Opera Committee-Meet- ing of all persons interviewed last spring, 7:30 p.m., Rm. 3A, Union.

THIS WORK-A-DAY WORLD: Trend' Towrd Realismt Seen in Christmas Tays By WILLIAM J. CONWAY CHICAGO-( P)-Christmas will be a day of ease for most of us -but it will be a workday for a lot of kids. There is a trend toward realistic playthings that perform actual services, such as vacuum sweepers that pick up dirt and washing ma- chinest hat really wash. A tour of toy manufacturers' showrooms in Chicago's merchan- dise mart, where the first 1948 Yule tree was lighted last May, brings out this information: * * * THERE WILL be enough toys to go round. But there will be a short supply of some items, particularly those made of metal. Prices of some tays will be up. Others will be unchanged. Toys built for action will be popu- lar. Many gifts for the junior set will be reproductions of the things grownups use. HERE ARE some of the newer toys being bought by buyers for retail stores: Vacuum cleaners made of aluminum and plastic. Each has an electric motor, a. dust bag and a handle 30 inches long. They op- erate much like the big ones. Washers that wash doll clothing. A clock spring motor keeps an agitator going. There's a wringer with rubber rollers to complete the chore. ELECTRIC juke boxes that play records up to 12 inches in diame- ter. The pressed board cabinet is 16 by 14 inches. The plastic front has a variety of colors and lights up. Scale model road graders. They're made of steel, weigh ten pounds, have balloon tires, a steering wheel and a scraper blade. Miniature automobiles fitted with batteries that sound a push button horn and provide current for the headlights. RADIO PHONES-One tube, portable radios styled like cradle tele- phones. Children can pick tip the receiver, dial a radio station and listen to a program. Cutout books made of latex rubber. Moppets can cut out the dogs, lambs and cats; then blow them up like balloons. Housekeeping kits containing wet and dry mops and brushes. Little fire stations that house a pump engine and a ladder truck. When a hand crank is turned, a bell rings, the doors open and springs send both vehicles rolling to a building across an imaginary street. A thumb-operated lever on the pump engine presses water through a hose and it squirts out on painted flames.
