Such Travel Tiresome
Anything like that kind of
travelling would tire a vigorous
young man. Mr. Eisenhower is
not young. His health and vigor
are matters of political dispute,
I It seems fair to say. however,
that a man is likely to be less
; vigorous after than before a
heart attack. Whether certain
types of abdominal surgery re
duce or increase a man's staying
power is a question on which
even the surgeons disagree.

Education in Saudi Arabia

than three-fold in the past three
years.
The annual allocation in the
state budget for education has
increased from S5. 000, 000 in
1954 to S18.000.000 in 1956. The
I present target is to raise the
allocation to 523,000.000.
A total of 2R9 schools have
been opened in the past 12
months. Saudi Arabian students
now number 60.000, and the
schools total 600.
Gono are the pre-Saudi day s
when postmen on camelback had
to stop and ask literate sheiks
to read the addresses on the let
ters they had to deliver.
In present-day Saudi Arabia,
education is not only free, but
the students are paid monthly
allowances, as high as 5100.
King Saud is determined to
spread education throughout his
country as quickly as possible.
He believes that Arabia, as the
birthplace of Islam and Arab
culture, should be a "center of
the light of knowledge."
Education Minister Prince Fa
had said the most encouraging
development in education in
Saudi Arabia today is the new
interest of Bedouin tribesmen
in learning. Previously they had :
strongly opposed sending their j
sons to school. '

construction for extra strength, extra safety, is
a Ford exclusive,
2. Deep block V-8 engine
Only Ford engines in the low-price field have
an extra-deep block . . . for gicater rigidity,
smoother going, longer life! Both Ford's Six
and best-scliing V-8 have short-stroke design
for less friction and longer engine life.
