Poor Professor Porta. What’s to become of this discredited astonomical prognosticator, now that nothing has happened as he so glibbly predicted was to happen between the 17th and 20th (of December)? The weather has been so charmingly delightful since the morn of the 17th. Why not send a message of thanks to those planets for their good behavior?

In 1994 a group of Lovell first graders perform hand motions to Frosty “The Snow Man” putting on his hat during the Elementary School K-3 program.

American seamen repeatedly risk their lives to transport men and munitions to Allied battlefields all over the world and are in the very forefront of the fight for victory. The exhausting strain they undergo in long, hazardous, war-zone voyages often result in so-called “convoy fatigue” or “torpedo tension.” It is for the purpose of helping to relieve this strain that the American Merchant Marine Library Association is seeking to place a library aboard every Victory ship, troop transport and oil tanker sailing under the American flag. It is hoped that organizations and communities will contribute one or more complete libraries.
