It says so many foreign-made pins are being'stuck in this coun try that the domestic business is being, ruined and it wants to limit imports tb 100,000 pounds of pins a year. Funny thing about pins. You use them all the time. and never give them, a .second thought. Yet, the pin people have some inter esting facts collected. Yankee Machines For instance: the pin is one,, of the oldest articles used by man. The Paleolithic man had the idea when he fastened his tunic with a thorn. The word itself is a tip off on its background. It comes from the Latin, "spina," meaning a thorn. .- .The first pin-making machine was a Yankee invention,,,and the first pin factory in this country was the Howe Manufacturing Co., set up in Darby,' Conn., in 1835. Eight companies make almost all the pins in the United States, and five of these are in Connecticut. `All Alikc' If you count all sizes and styles, there are 21' different pins. The models include the bank, dress maker, giant headed dressmaker, silk, ribbon, pleating and furrier nailing but' they all look like pins. Unlike selling television sets, the pin people say there's no way to whoop it up and get more pins used. The trouble with• pins is ther sameness. They're alike, and they look, alike.

The gloomy conclusion: "A straight pin is a• straight !Mlle! ,Foundation Begins Membership Drive The annual membership drive for Hillel Foundation is now in progress.

One crowds into West Dorm lounge, and, if one is fortunate, one gets a seat to watch a detergent program. Portia has faced life for the last time; it seems; she has been replaced, by Vanessa Dale, along with her courageous struggle for human dignity. Will poor, inno cent Vanessa outwit the ambi tious Meg? Well, will. she? Per haps, sometime within the next decade, that is, if the actors get so old that the sponsor feels they might die before the next tele cast. Pauvre Vanessa! Whiny Daughter As .if Miss Dale's troubles weren't enough for the student body to bear, this program is fol lowed by Joanne • Barron, who runs a prosperous Motorhaven, although the • telecast usually show's. the. place deserted. Any way, the script says its prosper ous. Joanne has a whiny little daugh ter, and a charming mother-in law. For some vague reason, city officials (corrupt, of course) are tryincr '' to get Joanne's property. Who knows, she might be sitting on the Comstock lode? Will Jo anne find love again?
