City That Caîsts- A Bright Ray If is just possible thaf Flint, Mich., la one offlei ost remnark- able cities in the -whole of Aric- rica. If you arc discouraged about the course of human cffort o'n is pianet and la this country, s>ick of readiag of sfruggi1e, te-n- sion, violence, economic d'- order, then ]et Flint casf a briglit ray into the gray glooim. As reportcd receatly by Rn> Cromley la a series for NEA Service, Flint is eagaged in in astonishing effective program eai comnmuaity and individual self- help that reaches info almost every corner of the city's 1f c Il is doing this without caliîýg upon federal and state govern- mnts for money. ~ moaey -.is't the thing at ail. Scho,)l taxes have been e-dged up a, little, and a wealthy man has tossed ln a fair bundle, anid tbat's if. The test of the way it ruas on the elfizeas' own steam and imagination. The place is fantastic. Kids go te- school early, stay late, anid love if. Parents swarrtn around the schools lan<off hours" la. al- most as greaf numbers as the youngsters. There are athîctic program-s, mieetings, dances, studying of maykînds. Hundreds of men serve as substitute fathers foi fathpless boys. Organized blok by block under communitv leadership, Flint people repair and Improve their owa bouses instead of looking for siumn -learace fuads. Courses train homeowacrs in the maay hous-- hold repair and maintenance jobs. The school is the hub of the Dro.«ram, Flint's school buildings %re slivc wvith actlvity from moraing until late at night, al îlhe year around. The schoci b>oard is the chjef overscer of flue gprawliig effort. Automobile factories give the !own a lopsided economy, and Èuday one out of aine eligible workçers is without a job. Flint b-as plung-ed la f0 hcip the job- less train for ncw types of work. Citizens work f0 urge creditors te carry the uiemploycd until pay checks start again. And they eive them space in schools to cook, wash aad iron and se on, whea their electricitv atf hoai hans been ouf off for nonpaym-.et *f bills. Women leara te sew and cook better f0 save mioncy. Ia the schools fhcmselves, alcrt. aew plans have been devised to ?Iush ouf potential scicntists ffreni the crop of youingsters. Effort !s made fo spot talent as early aý the second grade. The defails of this great comn- mnunîty, enterprise are endlcssly exciting, What is perhaps mnost ha-pressive le that ian age -whca we sec se m-uch negative head- Qhaking, flic people of Flint arc cecerfully positive. Thcy waat te tchieve, they believe they can', -dihe they 'do theyarpru oif what fhey accomplish. Flint la a stirring exanmple, a. practical example, te every t ýAmerica of what Îf menas te be really free, self-reliant and P ssessed of human dignity.

POETIC UICENSE - white Cap Iow over his *yes gives 'poot Carl Saindburg, a pqgnacious look. Fie was going through the U.S. exhibition in Moscow's Sokoinikî Park. Franc* Hus Ifs Teen-age Problem The French, while often criti- cal of teenage gang violence lri the U.S., and of the Teddy-boy outbreakcs in London, have long feit that the problems of thel>- own juvenie delinquents were individual, and therefore less alarming. But when gang terror erupted last month in Paris and in the Mediterranean resort of Bandol, the disillusioned editor of Le Parisien Libéré wrote: "Now we know the truth: Th* street g-angs are organizlng." At Bandol, 50 Young "Blous- ons Noirs" (Black Jackets), fail- ing to find the gang with which they had planned "un rumble," eut a, swath through the town wîth their bicycle chains and brass knuckles. Ia the -wake of their forays, they lcft shattered glaýss, sm'iashed furniture, and ut lenýst eighteen injured. linParis, as li. Amprica, cf- forts f0 assess the cause of the outbursts evokced sonie familiar sociological platitudes. Parisian authorities blamed sensational movies (the average Blouson Noir seps six a. week), magazin, and newspaper articles glorify- 1ing crime, and,- finaLly, th%, breakdown of fam.,i l 11e. Whatever the reason, authori- dies, church, and press demrand- ed action. One of the most en- gaging solutions was offered by Thierry Maulnier, columnist for the respected, censervative dially Le Figaro. Send the Blousons Noirs across the Mediterranean to help rebuild insurrection-fera Algeri a, Maulnier sugigested. "There they'd learn to become what fhey think they are now: LA1KES AND )RIVERS, heavily banked wlth t ree , provide game fish wlth djean w ate r, c o ol teniperatures, proper food.

Slickest Mon Ever? The late Harry Houdini of New York (1874-1926), one cf the mrost sensational theatrical fig- ures of this century, is identified '-a Funk & Wagaail's dictioaary as an "Amnericar, mystericist, wizard, and expert in. extricî,- f ion and self-relezse." This i-, putting if mildly. In his, tin e, H-ouidini mrannged to extricate himself frona a bewildering va. Iiety of apparently inescapab'É coruinements: H-andcuffs, strqit jackets, prison celîs, coffins, a sturdy crate lowered into Neiv York Harbor, and a tank of water la which he was hung f rom footstocks, head down- ward. On the other hand, a band of his fellow mazgicians once outraged Houdini by iockirg him in a pay toilet. The new biography "Hloudini" follows twenty years of inves- tigation by it:# Author, Williaam Lindsay Gresham, a deývoteeand novelist of the carnival world ("Nightmaure Alley")j. It is ani extravaganza on the subject if fraudulence, &nd a fascinatirig portrait cf a -inan who built ar, almost Napoleonic egetîsmn on his ability te guI! the publie. H is real naine was Ehrich Weiss; he was bora in the ghet- to of Pest,' Hungary, fthe fifth son cf a cultivated rabbi, 'and brolught -te New4 ,York as a child. H-e was a neckwrear-Iining cut- ter, sltill In his teens, wihen in-. tnoduced to magie by a fellow w7orker. In 1900, he began a Eure- pea tour by escapiag f reina pair cf handcuffs at Scotla'id Yard (la a later demorstratien he was found distributing hand- bis outside a jail before the j allers ,kl5ew he had gotten eut of ht. celi>. Houdini went on te tritlgBph- in Gerinaay, AustriLa- IÎuligar, and Russia. laI 1904 bu reuraed to thec U.S. and his big Amnerican career. In the early '20's hlm escapology was threaterued When1 the mnovies began te dis- place 'vaudeville, He made ia few screen thrillers and devel- oped the lively specialty cf cx- posing fake gpiritualists. At Mc--ill University ia Moatreal, îpeaking of bis streagth, he la- vited a college boy te punch hlm I! force la the midriff. The' blow was presently followed by appendicitis, gang-rene, and peritontis. lHoudîni died at flic age 0f 52, leaving an estate esti- niated at $500,0M0 HKoudini's posturlng pridle waà based on a great dca! of physi- cal condîtioning, hard Work, re- search, igenuity, and tirelesri rehearsal. He was strong and developed a centortioaist's flex- ibillty (gettiag out of a strait jacket meant nef oaly know- ledge of the jacket but special muscularity). Hioudini's team ai the heiglit of his powers in- cluded a number cf slick con- federates.
