Chefoo to Cheesecloth. Thornton was certainly different. Whatever school he attended-the Kaiser Wilhelm School in Shanghai, where his father served as consul general, the missionary school at Chefoo, the public schools of Berkeley, Calif., the Thacher School at Ojai, Calif.-he was the delight and despair of his teachers. A shy, skinny boy in knee pants, he was wrapped in a cloud of make believe; his greatest pleasure was to dress his sisters up in cheesecloth and get them to act one of his own one-act plays...
...Church. He shears away the last of her temporal power, sells the treasures of the Vatican. He smashes the power of the Jesuits. He reorganizes the Church in England.

Last week Punch took a long step toward bringing its writing up to par with its cartoons. For the first time in in years, the board named a newsman as its editor: the London Daily...
...Nashua, N.H., which has lost 4,000 jobs since Textron decided to close its mills in 1948, has lured 26 new companies to the area in recent years and now has little unemployment. When Henry Kaiser starts electronics production there next month in an old Textron plant, more than 1,000 additional jobs will open...
