marks founder's birth By MARGARET D. CLARK The "Give Blood -Save Life. Blood is red all over the world" theme will be featured around the globe on May 8 for the annual celebration of World Red Cross Day, The date was chosen because it is the anniversary of the birth In 1927 of Red Cross founder Henri Dunant of Geneva, Switzerland (in case you associate only Clara Barton with this organization, she was the founder of the Red Cross in America). How does this tie in locally with the April 24 appearance of the Bloodmobile in Bennington? By the need for all chapters, here and overseas, to urge donors to give blood in recognition of the founding of this international society, With transfusion centers, mobile blood collection units, in 4 46 countries, the growing need for blood obviously imposes new burdens on the global community. And always bear in mind, the Red Cross makes no discrimination anywhere as to nationality or political opinions, beliefs or political opinions, endeavoring only to relieve suffering.
So let's all do our share by donating a pint of life-saving BLOOD LIFE BLOOD IS RED ALL OVER THE WORLD blood on Wednesday, April 24, Vander Els, Dr. F.P. when the Bloodmobile will be at registered nurses Miss the First Baptist Church's Hanson, Miss Nancy Colgate Hall, 601 Main from Mrs. Jane Verderosa, 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Barth Oglivie. VPIRG director will continue to fight for Lifeline proposal MONTPELIER (UPI) Vermont Public Interest Research Group Director Scott Skinner said Wednesday the organization would continue to push for enactment of legislation to assure that small users of electricity receive necessary power at a stable rate. The lifeline bill introduced in the year's legislature was defeated on the House floor after having been held in the Commerce Committee for most of the session. A key reason for the defeat, Skinner said, was the failure of Gov. Thomas Salmon and Republican House Speaker Walter Kennedy to "do anything to help the Both officials endorsed the concept of lifeline but, according to Skinner, neither "had done anything to help it pass." Bennington' Briefs southern repast will be highlighted Saturday night at the Bennington Club, with dinner from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Room For One More, an organization 'supportive to adoptive families, both interracial and not, as well as families of handicapped children, and active with legislation concerning adoptive and foster children, will hold an informational meeting He said a new lifeline bill would be drafted and presented to the 1975 legislature for its consideration. The consumer group leader also criticized "the apparent buddy system between state government and private Vermont utilities." Skinner said it was becoming "painfully clear that the Pub-, lic Service Board (PSB) believes that its primary duty is shoring up the big stockholders of Central Vermont Public Service Corp. and Green Mountain Power." Reacting to reports the governor had attacked "do for delaying rate increases, Skinner suggested that Salmon had been influenced by what Skinner called "the kind of scare talk the utilities like to Saturday, April 20, at 7:30 p.m.

Donald Simson of West Arlington, who gave a delightful slide talk on scenes, flowers and birds of Vermont. In the past decade, the concept of conservation has changed greatly. From a surplus of nature's contributions we have now learned there is no longer an inexhaustable supply and we are urged to encourage the growth of wild flowers and the protection of woodlands, as these are so apt to disappear with the coming of new roads and the destruction of wetlands and acres furnishing cover for birds and wildlife.

Clumps of tumbleweed dance over the bleak desert. A herd of antelope dashes by. On the horizon between the mounds of desert called Prairie Dog Town and the spot where seven rattlesnakes were killed within three hours one autumn afternoon something glistens in the sun. Slowly it approaches and begins to take shape against the distant backdrop of Pike's Peak. What's this? It looks like a New York City subway car traveling over the desert.
It is a New York City subway car a BMT Rockaway local and it is racing over the desert like an express. Subway cars and some other unlikely hardware are out among the rattlesnakes, the coyotes, and the prairie dogs at a federal surface transportation proving ground here. Opened three years ago, the Department of Transportation's High Speed Ground Test Center is slowly emerging as a major testing ground for new ways of moving people on the ground. Engineers of the Federal Railroad Administration have set a sleek, 54-foot vehicle, driven by an unusual electric propulsion system, racing down railroad tracks at 234 miles an hour here. If the speed mark stands up under commuter analysis, they intend to claim a world record for wheel-on-rall travel.
The record now is 205.6 miles an hour, set in 1955 by a French train. A so called "linear induction motor" (LIM) thrust the red and white unmanned car along the tracks by inducing an intensive magnetic force between electrically charged copper windings within the vehicle and an aluminum rail between the tracks. Although the tests are run on steel wheels and tracks, the LIM motor is designed eventually to provide propulsion for new kinds of transit vehicles without wheels. Later this year, a LIM motor will be installed in a "tracked air cushion vehicle." Retired teachers' organizational lunch meeting An organizational luncheon 'meeting of the Bennington County National Retired Teachers Association is scheduled at the Paradise Restaurant Tuesday, April 30, from 1 to 3 p.m. Therese Goodermote, local chairman, has contacted many retired teachers, but in case she has missed some, extends an invitation and urges them to attend.
Guest speakers will be J. Newton Perrin, state NRTA director, Max Barrows and others. Any information concerning the meeting may be obtained by calling the local chairman at 442-3417, preferably by Compressors in the vehicle will produce a thin cushion of air beneath it and on each aide, so that wheels are not needed. Because friction is all but eliminated, very high speeds are possible. John A.
Volpe, the Nixon administration's first Secretary of Transportation, now Ambassador to Italy, initiated number of multimillion dollar, highly advanced ground transportation systems most notably 150- and 300-mile anhour tracked air cushion vehicle projects and predicted that they might be in every day use by the early or mid-1970's. About 275 persons work at the 30,000 acre test facility, which is about 125 miles south of Denver and is subject to intense heat in summer, intense cold in winter and occasional windstorms that, one engineer said, send tumbleweed racing over the desert "like an army of tanks." Aerospace companies have moved into the transit industry in a strong way recently and are busy here. The Garrett Corporation, for example, a relatively small Southern California aerospace concern, developed the LIM motor and is engaged in at least four other major subway and commuter rail projects here. The Boeing Company's Philadelphia Vertol Division, which makes helicopters, is testing advanced rapid transit cars. Commuters in New York and other cities will begin to see some of the concepts being tested here shortly, including an experimental Garrett subway propulsion system designed to reduce electric power consumption by more than 20 per cent, reduce heat in tunnels and provide trains with a reservoir of power to keep them moving to the nearest station during a power blackout.
And later this year, new streetcars built by Boeing for San Francisco and Boston will arrive in Pueblo for testing. Joseph Silien, who heads the Urban Mass Transportation on Administration's rail research effort, said: "Not only do we have the first subway in the desert, but we'll also have the first trolley car in the desert."
