Passen- gers will enter at either side on a middle level (which is the same as the floor level of present coaches) and ascend a central stairway to the top deck of seats or descend one of two side stairways to the" waiters enough room to|lower deck. The seats on the top deck will | be arranged similarly to those in i aisle. Other innovations, according to Ellis W. Test, a: tant to the president in charge of engineer- ing and research, include vibra- tionless tables, spot-ray illumina- tion, linen storage at each table, inter-car telephone communication and tables uncluttered with water bottles and other service. Briefly, Test says, “Travelers will now be able to enjoy the com- fort, spaciousness and seating ar- rangement of a smart hotel dining room.” Tables are placed diggonally, and seats are set at a 45-degree angle to the side of the car. This diner will have a 42-person capacity, while conventional diners now ac- commodate 48, but the turnover in the new car will be speedjer, Test says. For those who prefer privacy, there will be tables for two as well as for four. Also, the angular seat- ing arrangement will allow Junior to slip into his seat or leave the table without disturbing the an- noyed dowager on his right. “Everyone will have a side of the table to himself and enjoy & normal conversational position in- stead of knocking elbows as at or- dinary diner tables,” Test says. “At the same time each one will view the passing scene without even up to make room for another and | | In THE NM' « RELIGIO yWW.REID “Father, Thy will be done through me” . . . This seven-word prayer, offered morning, noon, and night; an effort to try to live the prayer in daily life; and the se- curing of seven other people to do likewise: this is the essence of the so-called “Cape Cod Plan” of per- al evangelism which has found wide support among Protestant lay- men and has the approval of lead- ing Protestant clergymen through- out the country. The “Plan” or- iginated a couple of years ago with Walter Dwyer, a layman of West Dennis, Mass. Without any funds or any organization, the idea has swept across the country, and has had the support of ma news- papers. Now it has bzfi;ken up by lay groups in nada; and groups of Catholics and of Jews are using it also. “The prayer is not offered as a complete pro- gram,” says Mr. Dwyer, “but merely in the nature of turning on the switch of our individual radios; how we amplify it, and what God’s will is for each of us is a matter of personal search and applica- tion.” 50 The hobby of Dillman S. Bul- lock, as a small boy in rural Michi- gan, was collecting bijrds, birds’ nests, birds’ eggs, and many in- sects—much to the disarray of his home and the annoyance of other members of the family.

S. Depart- ment of Agriculture. Dr. Bullock's discoveries of habits and controls of insect pests have had great value to farmers of both the southern and the northern American con- tinents. Believing that on the day peace is declarea the churches should pro- vide suitable services of worship, penitence, thanksgiving and dedi- cation in every community, the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America is urging now that church people prepare for V-day. Through ministerial associa- tions and local council of Churches in each community and by union groups in the viliages, they hope to see that the celebrations are filling and religious in character. Dr. Jesse M. Bader, 297 Fourth Avenue, New York 10, New York, is in charge for the Federal Council. Within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati, the Fathers of the Precious Blood are undertaking the establishment of a model farm and experimental laboratory for rural problems in Ohio, as a unit of the Institutium Divi Thomae. The school will offer to both priests and laymen op- rural leadership, and to do original present coaches, with 13 forward- facing double seats on each side of a center aisle providing room for 52 passengers. On the lower level . two rows of 22 seats facing the passing landscape will accommo- date another 44 riders. | There will also be (and this, the cramped, bustling commuter of to- day might find too difficult to be- lieve) four game rooms, two at | each end of the coach on the mid- | dle level, for 16 more passengers. Here, the commuter will be per- mitted to relax over a card game or a crossword puzzle. Also, at each end of the coach, there will be two washrooms anc toilets. The windows will be wide, flood- ' 4 ing the car with daylight. Gen- - eral artificial illumination will be' supplemented with special focused lighting at thé reading level in | each seat. “This basic design is by nc means inflexible,” Test says. “Al- ready we have plans for a dozen | variations to conform with the re- | quirements of every railroad. “We are also working on a modi- fied version for long-distance trav- | el.
