...DANIEL JOHN SOBIESKI Chicago...
...unspeakably good. He has wisely used current Americanisms to give the language the proper effervescense and irreverance.

Now that Ford has agreed to maintain its annual contribution of $200,000 for the next seven years, the Center is engaged in rebuilding its programs. The allocation...
