WEDNESDAY. AUGUST S. Ill MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. Old Blackboard Giyes'Way lo Mew ijki hi r tnaiKDoara You may have to look twice these days to find the class room blackboard. Not that it's obscure, but the color may fool you. Today's "blackboard" might be found in a bright shade of green or in pure white. It may match the walls or woodwork in shades of blue, brown or grey ... or in the more tradi tional - black. Color isn't the only thing that's changed, the blackboard has a new name - chalkboard - a more inclusive term for the different materials that go into thee making of chalk boards. Slate Material At one time slate was the only material used, but now you'll find porcelain enamel on steel, porcelain-enamel on aluminum, paint on metal, wood or masonlte and compo sitions such aa asbestos-ce ment. The porcelain enamel chalk board, one of the most popu lar types used in classrooms tiday, is constructed of the 6. me material as your bath tub, kitchen sink and range, For chalkboards the porce lain enamel materials are spe cially formulated to provide a nongl"ssy surface which mak es writing a breeze and eras ing more thorough since no stubborn "ghosts" remain. Board Doubles , With the porcelain enamel on steel chalkboard, writing isn't all that can be done. This kind of board may be used with magnets, permitting the board to double as a visual aids or bulletin board. Its smooth, bright surfaces also make it a good substitute for a projection screen. In ad dition, maps, music staffs, and diagrams can be permanently silk screened or painted on the sUrface eliminating the need for redrawing each time the board is erssed. -Unlike slaie boards that Had to be ground down and resurfaced every 20 years, porcelain enamel board, will outlast the school. Also gone is the screeching noise of chalk against slate.

But these youngsters must have help and better direction. 35 Million Aduits Plan Back to Schoo 'Round the nation, grown ups too, are dusting off note- books and readying them selves for classes.
