CAN'T LOOK-Immunisation shots at the General Hospital in San Francisco brought grimaces from Pauline Davey, as she and 115 other student nurses were inoculated against communicable diseases by Dr Adrian Goodman, resident physician. The girls will graduate in three years with degrees as registered

nurses.

SYNTHETIC GLYCERINE—This Shell Chemical Corporation plant near Houston, Texas, is producing synthetic glycerine, first to do so in history. The basic raw material is cracked petroleum gas which enters the plant, along with chlorine and water, at the lower left. Synthesis and purification take place in the units at centre, and finished, high-purity glycerine is stored in tanks at rear. Heretofore, glycerine was obtained almost entirely as a by-product of the soap and fatty acids industries, and often the supply

has been critically short.

STUDIO REST TIME-Actress Virginia Mayo takes a rest between scenes of her new production. The back rest is used by film actresses who cannot sit down for fear of wrinkling their elaborate costumes.

A BIG FISH STORY-Federico Mejer of Havana, Cuba, topped anglers at the International Tuna Cup matches with a haul of more than a ton and a quarter. He is shown here with a 621-pound bluefin, one of four he caught during the competition off Wedgeport, Noyp Scotia.

QUINTET-Mixed emotions greet the photographer as these German-born offspring of American Gis pose after flying to New York with their mothers. Here they are, names and destinations, left to right: Gerald Hirmer, Minneapolis, Minn.; Stephen Munsen, Winner, S.D.; Joanne Will and brother Terrence Will, Philadelphia, Pa., and Angle Hoffpuir, Estherwood, La.

TIMID SOUL-Four-year-old William Leydig couldn't understand the panic- stricken antics of St. Louis citizens, one of whom called the police to report a mad dog. Anyone can easily see that the 175-pound Great Dane, Dolph, is just

a harmless pup who likes to run the street.
