PUTTING THE HEAT ON SNOW -- Soft, white, fluffy snow, is a lot of fun -- to kids. To community officials, however, it's just a big headache, especially when it comes in the quantities that have plagued most areas of the U.S. this winter. Cities are striking back. In New York, for instance, where the snow removal bill has gone as high as $7 million in one season, the sanitation department is turning to oil- fired, self-propelled snow melters to dispose of the white stuff. Top photo shows snow being gobbled up and discharged into a melter. Overhead view of two melters, bottom, shows what happens to the snow. Turned to water, it is simply flush- ed into storm sewers. End Of An Ara In Education . The young man at my door with shining morning face said he was selling tickets for a school movie, and it would cost me 50 oents to participate. He said they were raising money to buy scien- tific equipment. "Why doesn't the town buy it?" 1 asked, thinking the tax rate should have given them an institute of technology on every floor by now, and he said he didn't know. "It's by Walt Dis- ney!" he said brightly. 1 said I guessed I could pass up this gol- den opportunity, thanking him heartily for remembering me, and he said I was the first one who had refused. I expressed my pleasure at this unique status, and he said, "Well, they told me to say that it anyone refused and then they'd buy after all." I think under the pressure of modern exploiters who have the Education Fund well in hand, we are often too unmindful of our fundamental cultural aims. It's a matter of history. We don't pause now and then to ponder on how all this started. High- speed, rooty - tooty America has gimmicked the little ol' school into a fetish -- why else would a boy be sent during school hours to shame me into the com- forming devotion? The folks who came here to start our coun- try were not a lace-collar lot. They were a bunch of rude, crude, rough, tough and nasty people, many of them convicted of contemporary crimes, and all of them wood-choppers, fish cut- ters, and buccaneers. Man's reach should exceed his grasp, so they early set up their schools. They wanted their chil- dren literate. The old records, where you find them, indicate this was a very expensive pro- ject, Tied in with church and government, the school got its money, and there was no county authority, nd state board -- if a schoolmaster didn't produce he got sacked by the very people paying the bills, I like to think, in that society, many fathers and mothers eager- ly waited for little Joe and Tess to get home from school so they, too, could find out what was learned today. The finest part of all this was, of course, the close, intimate interest of the parent, taxpayer, and citizen -- not a gulded, loaded, lip-service inter- est of a PTA or mothers' club, done with decrusted sandwiches and musical interludes, but a real, honest concern built around e088in SATELLITE LIBRARY -- Mrs. Phyllis Timleck of Ottawa, Canada, files a reel of magnatic tape among a small library of tapes stomped S-27." That is the code designation for the "Alouette," Canada's first satellite. Launched on Sept. 28, 1962, "Aloustte" has recorded enough Information about the earth's ionosphere to fill 400 miles of magnetic tape sent in by 14 tracking stations around the world. It has orbited 1,200 times for a total travel of 3% million miles. After pre. at 'Ottawa, Aloustte's scientific data will be made available to scientists of all nations. the [fundamental fact that you couldn't spell cat but your child could read Caesar, We've lost that, wholly. Even my generalizations here will be answered by protesting profes- slonals, and if today anybody tried to inject a thought into the regulated systems, where would he start? With The Governor's Advisory Committee on Educa- tion? (This is run by the stata commissioner, you see.) No, it is gone, done, over, lost. Scientific Equipment, I know a fellow who became a great brain in the electronic business, and I can tell you exactly and precisely what scientific equip- ment he worked with as a high school student. The building burned. On a bit- ter winter night with the hy- drants frozen and the firemen unable to crank the new-fangled - autotruck. The floor-oil in the wide planks, accumulated for generations, threw a black cloud against the moon, and the bell in the tower melted so they nev- er found a trace of it. Under that bell, in a tower room just 14-feet square, which' was never heated until that night, the town had assembled the scientific equip- ment around which the eternal verities were pondered. There was, of course, the little machine with two handles, and if you held the handles while somebody turned the crank your hair would stand up like a hay- stack. Mr. Asbury, the latest teacher, would never hold the handles and the theory prevailed that he wore a transformation' which would not respond, and he desired to keep this a secret. It may have been so. Then there were two pool balls with which you saw the effect of motion with-or-without other force, There were two pulleys and a length of pot-warp, There was a little cart on wheels that went up and down an inclined plane; a balance; and a Wheat- stone bridge. A color wheel, and thermometers with tin cans for testing freezing and boiling. With, of course, odds and ends to piece out with, and that was it. If you left the door open from downstairs enough heat would come up so you could study, but if it was really too cold they called the class off and you could do your Greek instead. When that building burned that night, it was the end of that era. The new school had its bond issue, and was built to meet state requirements, and it had an off- ice for a principal who never taught anything but just sat in there and coordinated, What does anything prove? The other day I was talking to a young lady who is majoring in mathematics at the university, and I asked what goes on with this in a world now computed mechanically, where telephone bills and magazine subscriptions, as well as the orbits of the far- thest nebulae, are a punch-but- ton. routine. She said there was a great future in setting up the patterns and programs. Yes, but I see no place in all that for a reluctant teacher who wears a wig, and I'm sure the "future" can also be a relative and pon- derable blessing, I once saw a man press a button and a ma- chine went into a tizzy of ener- gy, and out came an inventory of all the black pepper in all the Red & White grocery stores. To the ounce. That this magnifi- cent achievement was set up by a Ph.D. in mathematics is true, but did he have his own hair? --by John Gould in the Chris- tian Science Monitor Obey the traffic signs -- they are placed there for YOUR BAFETY. t EARTHQUAKE"S DA bs MAGE. -- - 8 Aerial photo shows some of the damage caused by the earthquake that struck the town resort of Barce, Libya. How The Queen Is Protected Strict new securtly measures are being taken to protect the Queen when she returns to Lon- don from her Commonwealth tour at the end of next month. Palace officials feared that the Queen might be shot at from the top floors of the "skyscrap- er" buildings which have been built near Buckingham Palace. So they visited the 328-ft. high, thirty-storey Hilton Hotel, in Park Lane, .which will be open- ed to the public in April They - entered a penthouse suite and peered through a win- dow with powerful binoculars. They were looking towards a window .in the Palace -- a win- . dow of one of the Queen's pri- vate apartments, Through their binoculars they could just dimly see a human shape. A royal servant had been told to stand close to the win- dow to see if her face could be recognized. It could not be. The officials were now sure that the Queen could not be spotted and recognized from this - vantage point, They 'had previously feared that a crazy assassin might try to take a pot-shot at the. Palace with a telescopic-sighted rifle. The other "skyscraper" which overshadows the Palace is the twenty-eight-storey Portland Ce- ment building. The men responsible for the Queen's safety must stay alert day and night, The sentries outside that tour- Ists admire are really guards in name only. The Queen's real protectors are a team of hand- picked, plainclothed detectives and uniformed policemen. All are judo experts. The uniformed men cover all entrances and exits to the Pal- ace. They also patrol the sur- rounding grounds, often with dogs. Nerve centre of Palace secur- ity is a large room on the ground floor of the Palace, fac- ing towards Bulckingham Pal- ace Road. On one wall is a three - feet - wide, radar - like screen, It is divided into sec- tions. Each 'section. covers at least fifty yards of the outer walls surrounding the Palace. An intruder trying to climb over the Palace: walls would STUDENTS PROTEST -- Iraqi students leave their embassy in London after invading the building to protest the "crim- inal mass murder" of Iraqi citizens by tho new government. Tre or touch a hidden wire. Then a warning light would flash on the "radar screen" in H.Q. The device is constantly test- ed. Record time for scaling the Palace wall is held by a police- man weighing 134 pounds who got over in seven seconds, He was immediately detected. Hidden pressure pads under carpets and behind pictures are switched on at night inside the Palace. No one could stay there for long without being detected. Above the bed of every mem- ber of the Royal Family is a secret button ready to be press- ed to give an alarm if neces- sary, All visitors to the Palace are closely watched. Inside her London home the. Queen is probably 100 per cent safe, All packages addressed to her are carefully vetted before they leave the royal post office on the ground floor, usually by hand. Threatening or warning mes- sages are never ignored. Post- marks, notepaper and handwrit- ing are analysed. Usually crank .writers are traced within hours through the records of mental institutions. How safe is the Queen outside the Palace? When she sails on the royal yacht Britannia strict precau- tions are taken. Whenever the yacht is anchored and she is aboard boatmen are ordered not to approach within 400 yards. Admiralty patrols usually see this rule is obeyed, When the Queen travels by car her personal - bodyguard, Chief Superintendent Albert Perkins, sits in the front seat, He is a crack pistol shot. The Queen's car is always preceded by an inconspicuous- looking limousine, containing se- curity men, Wherever the Queen alights from her car two or three plainclothed detectives al-- ways mingle with the cheering bystanders. Every place she visits is carefully vetted in ad- vance, Something For Apple Lovers We are always looking for new ways to prepare apples at our house. We like this recipe be- cause it uses less sugar and it brings out a richer flavor of the apples, because no water is used in cooking them, writes May V. White, Into a_ heavy kettle, with a tight lid, place 4 stick of sliced butter, Allow to niélt. over low heat. Add 3 quarts pared, sliced apples, Sprinkle over 3 cup su- gar, either white or brown (we mix the sugars), Do not stir, Cover and cook on a medium flame 10 minutes, Then stir. Watch carefully, so as not to burn. Usually enough juice is formed to prevent burning, While these are cooking, slice thin one lemon, which is added now with the juice of one orange and 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce flame' to simmer and allow to cook until apples are soft. Use as sauce or graham crack- er crust pie, Bake as usual with graham cracker topping. We vary the flavor of the applesauce by adding red cinna- mon candies or nutmeg or cinna- mon or cloves, If all of the above flavorings are added at one time, it may be ¥ cooked to - the consistency of apple butter -- and is delicious.

How A Preacher Can Move His Hearers Finding "sermons in stones and good in every thing" involves something of genius that discloses the highest rather than lowest- common denominator for man- kind. For some time there circu- lated with the sureness of folk- wisdom, a story about a super- literate Negro preacher whose sermons attracted unusual atten- tion. When asked what' was his method for producing and deliv- ering them, he reportedly replied: "First I reads myself full, then 1 thinks myself clear, then I rays myself humble, and then I ets myself go." It is hard to add anything, ex- cept that toward the achievement _ of a sermon or a sonnet, the building of a cathedral or a sky- scraper, the starting of a career or the rounding of a life, the formula ought to give a man or woman just the boost he or she needs. } And when a statement is so complete as to make further come ment superflous, .then a com- mentator's final word can only be: Read it again. ir ' ¥r SNOW SLIDE -- Tribute to the Soviet Union's cosmonauts Is: sculptured in snow in this Soviet source photo, taken in Kirov.
