Machinist-Painter Displays Art Work Sunnyvale, Calif. - ttlPD - A California man wapped his vocation for his hobby -and found that both paid off. He is Frank Vaz, a 39-year-old native of Puerto Rico. He's now working at machin ing parts for Agena satel lites and Polaris missiles at the Lockheed Missiles and Space company plant here. But that's during the day time. At night and on week ends, he's busy at something else-painting. He does about eight commissioned paintings a year and sells them for be tween $75 and $250. One-Man Show Vaz recently had a one-man show in nearby San Jose. It was the first time he was ever able to have a show be cause he has never been able 10 gather together enough of his works for an exhibit. Vaz studied for four years under the GI bill at the Art Student league in New York City. He had served in the Army during World War II as a combat infantryman in Europe. After leaving the school In 1949, he entered the commer cial art field in New York, doing book jackets and free lance work. But then he mar ried and acquired a family. And that meant he had to find a more regular source of income. Vaz had always liked to do jobs with his hands, so he found It little trouble to be come a machinist. In fact, he said: "Working with my hands gives me my greatest satisfaction." Vaz expresses himself bet ter at his painting and his machining than in words. But he wants it known he appre ciates the recognition he has received from his art work, not for his own sake, but be cause "it shows the publie that machinists aren't neces sarily lowbrows." He's quick to point out that many of his fellow worker have a genuine interest in art and other cultural activities. Vaz works in oils and spe cializes in portraits and landscapes. Compositions Are Valuable Scholastic Aid NEW STORE Drews Manstore will hold a grand open- Center just east of Sears Roebuck and company's store, lng tomorrow at its new store In the Medford Shopping Drews Manstore, a firm which started In Klamath Falls about 1918, has now opened a branch fn the Med ford Shopping Center. The store opened last week and plans to hold a grand opening tomorrow. The firm sells such brands as Griffon suits and sportswear, Inter woven sox and Johnson-Murphy shoes. In 1918, Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Drew left their D and M Cleaning business partnership and opened the first Drews Manstore. Located at Sixth and Main sts., In Klamath Falls, It was called N. B. Drew "Mens Togs." In 1925 the store was moved to its present location at 733 Main St. After the war the four Drew brothers and their wives bought in as full partners. In 1948 the Gun Store at 714 Main St., was added and in 1947 they doubled the size of the present Drews Manstore operation. The Town and Country branch was added In 1950. The combined stores now have an annual payroll and other business expenses that put $190,000 into the Klamath Falls community each year, according to the Drews. The newest addition in the Medford Shopping Center features a complete selection of men's wear, a "varsity" young man's shop, sports wear, a shoe department and a full boys' wear and western wear department.

Parents Worry About Reading Washington-Johnny's read ing problems haven't been forgotten, but those of his father and mother now share the spotlight of national con-corn. Suddenly, Americans are worried becasue they can't do all the reading required of them in the normal course of their daily lives. "New knowledge Is emerg ing at a rate never before dreamed of," says Wilmer V. Bell, president of the Na tional Association of Public School Adult Educators (NAPSAE). "Published ma terials are Increasing at such a fust puce that professional people, business men and cit izens in all walks of life, are overwhelmed by the volume of reading they must do. Then there's the prohlem of adult non-readers, America's 11 million functional illiterates who can't even keep up with the limes by reading a dally newspaper. As a result of this healthy concern on the part of the average citizen as well as the adult educator, classes In read lng improvement are one of the newest and hottest de velopments In adult educa tion. Public schools, libraries, community centers, and col leges, In addition to private reading clinics, now offer reading Improvement courses for adults. Courses Increase Special courses for Illiter ates are on the Increase, and they are using new approach es. Many non-readers are re luctant to admit their defic iency, so they hesitate to at tend formal classes. For this reason, television courses in beginning reading have been extremely effective in Balti more, Md St. Louis, Mo., and Memphis, Tenn. Hundreds of Phlladelphians have learned to read in their own homes through a series of half-hour programs called "Operation Weight-Gaining Tips Given By Professor Washlnglon-IUPD- Fat Ameri cans aside, there still are many people who'd like to gnin weight. For anyone wanting to put on pounds. Dr. Hazel M. Hauck, emeritus professor of food and nutrition at Cornell university, suggests adding 500 to 1000 calories a day to gain one or two pounds a week.

Teaching machines will soon enter adult reading ! classes, reading experts say. I Programs have already been developed for vocabulary im provement. A high school reading course for use in teaching machines will be marketed soon. "Both the teaching machine and the student workbook provide an excellent means for individualized adult read ing instruction," according to Edwin H. and Marie P. Smith, authors of a new book "Teach ing Reading to Adults," pub lished by NAPA, which is a department of the National Education association. 32 war GHOWN-UP STYLE-A smart coat for little misses In Ste vens rcn wool meuon snows off horizontal seaming, thai new silhouette and a black i leal collar-real grown-up detailing.

According to many educa tors one of the most neglected areas in many modern - day school curricula is that of the familiar 'composition writing.' Instruction in written com position has long been consid ered an important tool in help ing students express them selves and encouraging clear thinking. In studies made at various campuses round the country, it was discovered that a large percentage of college students were not adequately prepared by earlier studies to present their thoughts clearly and in telligently in writing. What then has happened to composition and theme writ ing in the modern school? Time Lack The heavy work and student load In recent years has forced many English teachers to bypass theme assignments for lack of time to thoroughly read and grade the papers. Many schools have been forced to assign teachers to instruct English classes even though they hold their majors in other fields. Students in colleges and universities enrolled as educa tion majors are just not re ceiving adequate training in grammar or composition. The Prince Edward Island na tional park has four main beaches. About one-third of U. S. farms have television. teacher is forced then to work from drills and other sim plified exercises. Greater emphasis in most school systems is once again being placed on composition and theme writing. Physical, Spiritual Training Given in Outward Bound School C 5 By GENE MEAKINS Marble, Colo. (UPI) - The veteran mountaineer quietly checked the boys' gear and issued last-minute instructions to the 45 youths as they set out individually on grueling 48-hour treks into the unin habited wilderness of the White River National forest. Most of these boys-from 15 states and all walks of Amer ican life-had never seen the rocky mountains of Colorado -or any mountains-until they arrived 10 days earlier. Yet, they already had gained enough knowledge and con fidence to survive alone for two days in the 11.000-foot high ruggedness of the Lily lake area in south-central Colorado. They each were equipped only with a sleeping bag, a fish hook, a piece of string, a wire for a snare and some salt, matches and flour. They would eat only if they were shrewd enough to catch fish, frogs, porcupines or marmots to go with the soup they would boil from broad leaf plants. Speaks of Course "This is one of the best tilings ever to happen to American youth," commented their competent mountaineer instructor, 37-year-old Ernest .tonides says Outward Bound era tortioa l morrow!

Young, assist- ani superintendent of South Bay Union High school dis tnct, offiicals at Aviation High school had full length luminous ceilings by Filon corporation, manufacturers of translucent fiber glass rein, forced plastic panels installed in the home economics class rooms.

Luminous Ceilings Aviation High school's Ini tial installation called for more than 4,000 square feet Of 4-ounce snow u,hiio fu, panels. The job consisted of a mousand 2x2 foot panels set in rolled alnminnm (,,11 frames featuring light weight wnnout sacrificing necessary I'lgldlty. All panels are quick ly and easily removed for cleaning and are virtually "student proof." The latter is important to cost-conscious school officials who remember early at tempts at installing luminous ceilings using PVC (polyvinl chloride) material and the resulting dissatisfaction they experienced. PVC was subject to mortal wounding from the Inevitable missiles hurled by frisky stu dents. The early substitute also was very difficult, if not Impossible to clean, sagged and split as time wont hv and was generally unsuitable s a luminous celling mater ial. Today's translucent fiber glass reinforced plastic pan els are a far cry from those early attempts.
