Automat Journles
On Pennsy Railroad
The -New ,Yorker•magazine, which;manages to pick up most of
the big and little news in the country, has come up with a des
cription of the new automatic buffet which the Pennsylvania Rail
road plans to adopt. ' ,
A specially-fitted coach for public experiment has been put on
the New York-Philadelphia express. Five seats were removed from
the coach to make room for the
food dispensers.
A big sign saying. "automatic
buffet" is above the machines,
which disgorge, in exchange for
the correct number Of , coins,
milk, coffee, sandwiches, pie, ice
cream, cake, and candy.
For ten cents, you can draw
from the coffee machine, black
coffee without sugar, with sugar;
cream and' coffee with sugar,
without sugar. The sandwiches
cost anywhere from 25 to 50 cents.
Original Purpose
A chan - ge-making ma chin e,
which will supply dim e's and
nickles in exchange. for quarters,
is attached to* . :the coffee-vendor.
An unsolved problem is a method
for changing dollar bills,
The automatic buffet machines,
which are now being tested for
public, acceptance, were originally
designed for factories and office
buildings.
Mechanics had a hard time
adapting the machine for train
use, for, the jiggling of the cars
released free merchandise from
the machines. They finally licked
the probl4m, though, and now the
food won't be dispensed unless',
coins are inserted into the ma
chine.
Similar Taste
The Pennsy dining car service
is great for innovations. In 1938
it innovated the ,twin-unit dining
car; in 1950 it established the
single entree dining 'car meal;
and this year it is serving free
pretzels from 2 to 5 p.m. in dining
cars on certain trains.
. By the way, the merchandise
from the food machines is said
to , taste just like the, food pur
chakd from the walking vendors,
who jog through the coaches with
their baskets of, sandWiches and
candy and pots of cool, creamed
and sugared coffee.

Can Help You
By PAT NUTTER
Pinned? Engaged? Married? Do
you have a problem? The Mar
riage Counseling Service is set up
to advise students thinking about
that all-important event.
The . service, which is a branch
of the, Psychological Clinic,' ad
vises about 400 couples a year.
Onethird of these couples are
former students who are now
married
~Consider Difficulties
AccOrding to Dr. Clifford Ad
ams, in charge of the service,
most couples want to know if
they are compatible. To help de
termine this, each is, given a test,
after which Dr. Adams talks in
dividually to th e prospective
mates.
"We never say a couple should
or shouldn't marry," Dr. Adams
said, "but we help them look at
their specific difficulties and then
point out various solutions."
Mixed Marriages
Another problem that frequent
ly confronts the counselors is par
ental opposition. Either Parents
do not like their prospective son
or daughter-in-law. or they want
to noqt.oone the marriage.
A third problem is mixed mar
riages. Dr. Adams said that these
marriasees have less chance to
<.ucceed. but if both partners have
the same religious philosophy
and can compromise on church
-Illec iance. a solution ca n be
worker nut.
