Extra Courses To Be Given Prompted by increased indus trial activity in the national pre paredness program, the College will establish special extension courses through its general ex tension services in 30 additional communities of the state, J. O. Keller, director of general exten sion, announced yesterday. Keller reported that a survey of more than 400 key manufac turers in Pennsylvania resulted in requests for more than 2,000 classes in various fields. Most of the requests for exten sion courses were reported in technical and se m i-technical fields, Keller said. Engineering led the eight classifications, but there also were requests for man-, agement and supervision courses, work in mineral sciences, and in production fields. Courses in en gineering drafting, blueprint reading, inspection and gauging, typing and office practices, and elementary accounting were re quested. Keller, who is also chairman of the National University' Exten sion association’s committee on war training programs, explains that similar studies . have been ' undertaken by educational insti tutions in other states. > Fossits In Your Yard Can Mean Coal, Oil Deposits Fossils in your backyard can be a clue to hidden coal and oil deposits, according to Dr. Frank M. Swartz, professor of paleon tology. These fossils, some only a tenth of an inch in diameter, help indicate the strata that lie beneath the earth’s surface. Dr. Swartz warns, however, that these' fossils may be false clues. He said that it takes a great deal of study to determine where there are coal or oil de posits. . | Even if you don’t find a deposit of black gold in your yard, you can learn a great deal about the earth hundreds of millions of years ago from these traces of an cient animals and plants. The paleontology professor agrees that the fossils probably aren’t the remains of dinosaurs or of large mammals. Nevertheless, they are just as useful in reveal ing what the earth was like 200 million years ago, and what is beneath the surface now.
