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.
Founder N. B. Drews Is now
semi retired, but takes an
active interest In the five
Drew stores.

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

. 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
