Modern Marvels' changes Axes' air time

PAUL SMITHS -- A History Channel feature on "Axes," featuring students from Paul Smith's College, will air later than expected.

College officials said the program was moved back several weeks to run on a May 30 edition of "Modern Marvels" at 8 p.m., not this week, as previously scheduled.

The program also looks at how the Native American tomahawk is being refashioned as a modern weapon and the evolution of the classic fireman's axe into high-tech rescue tools.
