SEPT. 13th To Every Customer In Our Store Or Lunch Counter To Introduce The Delicious Nourishing Po’”d On The Spot Fer Perfect Freshness n Shirt Sleeves Success Of UNESCO We met Dr. Obourn on the job at the Suan Sunandtha Teachers‘ College in Bangkok (the college was once part of the royal palace and its name means "heavenly place"). There he was initiating a coâ€"educational class of science lecturers, brought in from teachers training colleges throughout the country, into the mysteries of the pinâ€"hole camera. Ignores the Heat Dr. Obourn is a joviat; hekvyâ€"set man of fiftyâ€"three, with the happy faculty of ignoring the heat. When we met him, the thermometer was cracking 100 and the summer had only begun. He turned the class over to his Thai "counterpart," Singto Pukahuta, who is to take over his work when the mission is ended. For the past year, the $5 laboraâ€" tory and its owner have been in Thailand on a request from the Thai Government for assistance in overhauling science instruction in the country‘s schools. _ Science teaching is a key factor in Thaiâ€" land‘s 10â€"year educational reorganâ€" ization plan designed to make her school system a more efficient producer of badly needed skilled workers and technicians. It cannot be said that any one project, or any one expert, is "typical" of technical assistance, for the projects are as varied as the special meeds they are meant to meet. Here is a firstâ€"hand glimpse of the work of just one of these 130 scientists, educators and engineers who persenify techâ€" nical assistance. Fiveâ€"Dollar Lab. Dr. Ellsworth Obourn, an Ameriâ€" can, has been convincing his felâ€" low science teachers for nearly three decades that they do not need expensive equipment to make science come alive. To prove his point, he has collaborated in writâ€" ing nearly a dozen Iexhboolu and he has developed a "fiveâ€"dollar laboratory," a kit of science apâ€" paratus assembled from material available cheaply â€" or for nothâ€" ing â€" in shops, attics, Slumber rooms and junk yards. "Singto does most of the work," he explained, "I helped get things These projects illustrated how technical assistance can work in such ‘varied fields as harbor engiâ€" neering, the technology of indusâ€" trial production, fundamental eduâ€" cation (that is, education to raise standards of living), scientifiec reâ€" search and general education. To look behind some of these red pins â€"â€" all told, they represent 130 men and women in the fieldâ€" I have recently visited Unesco technical assistance teams in four Southeast Asian countries â€" Ceyâ€" lon, India, Pakistan and Thailand. In all four countries, technical assistance was proving its value, in immediate and long â€" range terms, for in each place it was adapted to the country‘s own proâ€" gram of economic progress. This year, Unesco has a budget »f $3,500,000 to Mw. requests for aid in education and science from 37 countries. Viewed from headquarters in Paris, this proâ€" gram seems an intricate machine fueled by budgets, projects and international agreements. But, in the field; it is a process of men shedding coats and protocol to get a job done.

It can be acâ€" One day, he jokingly said: "I want to write 18 quartets" and in faet he did eventually write them without any of them suffering from a poverty of ideas, and all are now being recorded. From this he turned to explore the multifold possibilities of quintets. . . . sonatas. . . symphoni¢aâ€"there is no kind of music which has not flowed from the talented pen of Darius Milhaud Dramatic and lyric ballets. . . . light suites . . . concerts for the most varied instruments including the harmonica and the vibraphone . . . . sacred and secular cantatas . . . grand opéras, comic operas From the ink bottle burner to the light bulb flask was noâ€"probâ€" lem. He chipped out the bakelite base of a burned out bulb, leaving only the glass and the metal neck. Then a tin can, with the aid of a apir of sheears, became a triped started, but now I spend most my time watching him." Their collaboration started in June, 1950, when Mr. Pukahuta and Dr. Obourn visited a science class for the first time together at Cha Choeng Sao, 70 miles from Bangkok. Cha Choeng Sao, a town of 45,â€" 000 and the capital of Thailand‘s 71 provinces, had been chosen as a laboratory where Thai educators and a United Nations team intendâ€" ed to test new methods of educaâ€" tion to determine if they could be adopted throughout the country, ‘"We watched the teacher lecture for 50 minutes straight, reading out of a book, to a class of eightâ€" yearâ€"olds," Dr. Obourn recalled. "She was trying to tell them how rice was grown â€" and yet, fifty feet out of the achool window, you could see a farmer planting it." The next lesson was on boiling water and it was not too convincâ€" ing. The teacher had been conâ€" verted to the principal of showing rather than telling, but she had only a candle to heat the water. Here Dr. Obourn took a few lessons out of his $5 laboratory. He found an empty ink bottle, punched a hole in its metal cap, and inserted a piece of tin rolled in a tube into the top. Down the tube went a wick of wadded string and a supply of alcohol, Talented Weston rider, Miss Betty Stoddart, shows the second place ribbon taken by her when she rode her Palomino, Mamsell Peavine of Golden Gaits, in competition at the Canadian National Exhibition. The horse is owned by Mra. Hilda Osborne. Sun‘s Hot! So What! The next day the lesson was on the sun, and again the teacher read from her book. She was telling her class that the sun was hot, a fact which did not appear to interest the pupils. "Singto and I borrowed the prinâ€" cipal‘s reading glass and focussed it on a piece of paper, The paper burned. We burned a figure on a board, we lét the children feel the sun‘s ray on the backs of their hands. ‘"Then they all told us; ‘Ah! the sun is hot.‘ That was the first science experiment ever conducted in the school," he said. The ‘"International Language"â€" and Darius Milhavd Global Music Of Darius Milhaud Reflects International Influence Written for UNESCO by RAYMOND BARTHE of Canada ranks first â€" in wo:: production of nickel, asbsstos the platinum metals; second in aluminum (from imported ore), wine, and gold; and third in silver When the famous dancer Nijinâ€" sky visited Rio de Janeiro, Claude} and Milhaud were so impressed that they conceived the theme of a ballet for him, L‘Honne ¢t son Desir. In an introduction written for his performance, Claudel notes that the ballet ‘"has come out of the atmosphere of the Brazilian forests where we were, so to speak, overWhelmed, and which has almost the uniform conmsistenâ€" cy of an element." 128480 Dariu«s Milhaud grew passionâ€" ately fond of the towns and the countryside of Brazil. As the rhythms of this popular music fascinated him, he struck up friendship with several young Braâ€" zilian composers, one of â€" whom, Heitor Villa Lobos, has today beâ€" come celebrated throughout the world. * After studying at the Conservaâ€" toire de Parisâ€"where he is a proâ€" fessor today, as well as at Mills College in Californiaâ€"he did not wish to cramp himself within the limits of academic teaching. As his first composition came to the attention of Paul Clauâ€" del, poetâ€"dramatist and also a caâ€" reer diplomat, the latter engaged him as personal secretary when he became French Minister to Brazil. From the meeting of these two men grew a fruitful collaboration, marked notably by the lyric ballet L‘Homme et son Desir, the opara Christopheâ€"Colomb and the oratoâ€" rio Sagesse, Friend of LoBos several centuries, "When you teach science to eleâ€" mentary school youngsters, it‘s often bebtter to use this type of equipment," he explained. . "It‘s made of familiar materials, Chilâ€" dren have a tendency to become fascinated when they see a strange object and then its difficult for them to concentrate." This was the beginning of the transformation of his original kit into a 160â€"tical laboratory (there are 20 Thai ticals in one United States dollar). We saw a list of the equipment that went into this laboratory and it was an impresâ€" sive one. From Cups to Turtles Dr. Obourn emphasized that, picturesque as it may be, homeâ€" made equipment has no place in higher level science instruction, especially in the training of teachâ€" ers. Precisionâ€"built, factoryâ€"made equipment is going into laboraâ€" tories beingbuilt in Thailand‘s 21 teacher training colleges in the provinces. When he is in the United States mt his home near St. Louis, Dr. Obourn retreats on weekends to his den which has a desk 25 feet long and not an uncluttered inch on it. Mrs. Obourn takes care not As far as she is concerned, the $5 laboratory is a mixed blessing. She approves of her husband‘s work and the results he has achieved, but the housewife in her occasionally rebels. "Some day," she told ns, "I‘d like to he able to throw something out af the house." 123456 with the burner undereath and the light bulb flask nestling in a hole cut in its top. It began with cups and saucers, ran down through shaving mirrors, darning needles, rubber balloons, wire coat hangers, milk bottles, and curtain rods to automobile seat springs, worn ‘out dry cells, cigarâ€" ette tins and fruit jars. This is the raw material of the science rooms now flourishing the Cha Choeng Sao‘s te n elementary schools. _ School janitors _ have pitched in to help children build animal pens, chicken coops and bird cages.
