6 A THURSDAY. JANUARY 17, 19S3 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Religion in America Religious Leaders Tackling Problem of Race Discrimination B? LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent Organized religion thus far has played a relatively minor role in the struggle for racial tustice in America. Relicious leaders acknow ledge this fact, and) find it humiliating. This week, In Chicago, they will try to make amends. Representatives of 70 Pro testant, Catholic and Jewish organizations arc meeting at the Edeewater Beach Hotel for a "National Conference on Religion and Race." This conference is signifi cant for two reasons: 1. It is the most ambitious attempt yet to galvanize America's religious bodies in to effective action on racial problems. 2. It is the first national meeting which has ever been called in the United States un der the joint sponsorship of all three major faiths. Convenors of the confer ence are the National Council of Churches, the National Catholic Welfare Conference, and the Synagogue Council of America. A distinguished Negro edu cator. Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, president of Morehouse Col lege in Atlanta, Ga., serves as chairman. It is anticipated that the 800 delegates will adopt a "statement of conscience" de tailing the reasons why they regard the elimination, of seg regation as one of the su preme moral challenges fac ing Americans In this genera tion. As a joint expression of conviction by Protestants, Catholics and Jews, such a statement may carry some weight. But the organizers of the conference realize that racial barriers cannot be bat tered down with moral argu ments addressed to the gen eral public. The real business of the meeting is to draft a series of recommendations for action by religious organizations, In cluding local churches and synagogues. Mathew Ahmann, executive secretary of the conference, said the recommendations will' be specific and down-to-earth. They will spell out con crete things that Christians and Jews can do, together or separately, to combat racial discrimination in such areas as housing, employment, edu cation and worship.

Rising Impatience How much action they will stimulate remains to be seen. In the past, churches and synagogues by their own ad mission have been long on talk and short on perform ance in this controversial field. But there Is evidence of rising impatience among lay men as well as clergy with this inaction. Across the nation, churches and synagogues have "social relations committees" which are looking for something to do besides listen to speeches. It is just possible that the National Conference on Re ligion and Race may provide them with the kind of blue print they need to roll up their sleeves and get to work. Age Plays Major Role in Learning To Write Properly MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREOOW By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist Handwriting has been open to much criticism and should not be neglected. It is a me chanical skill which can be learned with reasonable ef fort and practice. Age plays a major role in learning to write. This is due to the importance of muscu lar development and coordi nation. The ability'to hold a pencil and move the hand properly for regular writing (cursive) develops in about the third grade. Thus you find that most schools teach a form of printing manuscript in the early grades. Manu script generally is easier than cursive writing. Research has shown that most difficulties in handwrit ing occur in relatively few letters. This seems to indicate that efforts for improvement should be mainly concentrat ed on the specific problem. In the junior and senior high school, there is often a de crease in quality. This prob ably is due to the pressure for speed and the absence of specific practice and teach ing. Can Help at Home At the same time that the school is teaching your child to write, you can follow through at home. You should be sure to use the same let ter formations the school teaches in order to avoid con fusion. When a child's handwrit ing skills are developing nor mally, your assistance should consist of supplying encour agement and practice. An ef fort must be put into main taining and Improving hand writing. Periodic evaluation is important. Practice at the pri mary level can be achieved through such activities as writing one's name, making labels or signs, and writing notes or greeting cards. The high school child might profit from helping you with business-type letters or other useful Items. Perhaps your child is hav ing difficulty. The previous suggestions should be com bined with additional instruc tion. The first step is to help the child understand the need for a neat legible handwrit ing. You can check samples of his writing. This will clar ify the problem which may be poor letter formation, slant, size, etc. Explanation of correct methods should be followed by practice. Short and frequent sessions are the most effective. Remember that his chair, writing sur face, and implements must be proper in order to have cor rect posture and grip. Attention To Left Handera Special attention should be given to left handed children. Unfortunately, some will have problems. In most situ ations, materials are made and arranged for right hand ed people. Do not attempt to change handedness as the results may be more serious than those of being left handed. The child will need consideration and patience. H 1 1 instructions should be generally (he op posite of the right handed child. The "upside down" technique can be avoided by proper early guidance. The pencil should be held a bit higher to avoid puncturing the paper. Light should come over his right shoulder to avoid shadows. Discuss this problem with his teachers. Perhaps you can obtain an -instruction booklet. Pay close attention to hand writing. Careful instruction and practice produces excel lent results. ' . .

SERLING UPI Aviation Editor Washington - (UPli - The names sound like technical gibberish - BLEU - FLARE- REG ALL.

The names are of five devices under test at the Federal Aviation Agen cy's research center in Atlan tic City. N. J. The FFA is not testing each system to determine which is the best. Rather, it is evaluat landings under each system Eventually, the FAA will ex tract the best feature from all and incorporate them Into a single all-weather landing system that can land a plane safely in a fog thicker than over-cooked oatmeal. All Promising "All of them are interest ing, promising and even ex citing." FAA reasearch and development chief Joseph Blatt says. "But none of them : stands up by itself to the I standards of extremely high all - weather reimoiiiiy me eventual sys' tern must achieve. When we determine what must go into a single system, we will spee- iiy tne requirements for a prototype and ask for con tract bids.'' This laborious process is slow but inevitable. The chief requisite of a safe all-weather landing device is that it must be absolutely foolproof. The lives of pilots and passengers alike will depend on its total reliability and accuracy. ine major achievement of course, would be greater safe ty. But economic advantages are involved, too. The average airline passenger who gets miffed at a delayed or cancel led flight because of weather seldom realizes that it hurts an airline worse than it does him. Cost High It has been estimated that below - minimum weather (when horizontal v j s i b i lily and vertical ceilings drop be low sale margins) costs the TJ. S. airlines alone as much as $100 million annually. the lowest estimate is S25 million, and one carrler- Unitcd - puts the cost to the industry at $60 million. If even $25 million seems high, ponder Unitcd's exper ience on a single winter day -Dec. 17, 19B1. On that one Sunday, weather forced UAL to cancel all but 57 departures east of Omaha during a 24 hour period. A total of 350 flights were weathered out - 113 jet trips ana zjt piston-engme sched ules. Out of 29,321 passengers holding reservations, 18,193 never left the ground. Aviation science has advan ced considerably since the days when an airliner literal ly needed a clear day before it was allowed to fly. The chief weapon has been the In strument Landing System (ILS), which projects two beams toward an approaching plane. One beam monitors the glide path, tthe other the; plane's position relative to the runway. A pilot knows he is on course in an ILS approach when two needles on his in-' strumeni panel form a perfect cross. Net All the Way But ILS can only bring plane to within 200 feet of the ground. Below that, a pi lot must land his aircraft visually. In effect, the goal of an ail-weather landing system is to extend the accuracy of ikis over that last 200 feet, right down to the moment the wheels touch the runway.

The most advanced system in terms of test frequency is the British - designed BLEU slanding ior Blind Landing Experimental Unit. Jt has been tested in England with more than 5,000 landings on both propeller planes and jets, and the FAA has added sever al hundred additional land ings. Earf Mating According to some pilots who have observed or even flown the various systems, a promising American entrv Is "FLARESCAN" - product of Airborne instruments Labora tory. Its deveiopmeni has been weil-financed and one of its virtues is Its easy mating with regular ILS, FLARE SCAN automatically switches into the ILS glide slope indi cator at an altitude of 100 feet, and the entire system re quires very little additional cockpit training. FLARESCAN. which also is being evaluated in France, projects a radio beam toward an approaching aircraft - sweeping the plane every 10 seconds. At every sweep, FLARESCAN instruments In the cockpit show the pilot the exact angle he must fly to put his wheels on the ran- way at a point between t)ie FLARESCAN antenna and the end of the runway. Basically, ail the systems arc similar. GILLfFAN'S HE. GAL which stands for Ranee and Elevation Guidance for Approtch and Landing, stems from an Air Force project. B is resigned to Me in with an electronic air traffie control system. Like FLARESCAN, it uses a sweeping beam to Inter cept the path of approaching planes. North American's- AILAS for Automatic Instrument Landing System) Is similar to Britain's BLEU in that It pro vides for iast-mintite coupling to an automatic flight control system - literally a "look Ma, no hands" landlns ecera. tion in which the piioi mere ly has to stand by for over ruling action if he la not sat. isflcd with the all-electronic landing. Fifth Britain The fifth ! system is Bell's ALS" - ior Automatic Land ing system. It shares with FLARESCAN the virtues of easy adaptation to present cockpit instrumentation and incorporation into reculsr ILS approaches. Ail-weather landines are sufficiently aiong the develop ment path to warrant medifi- cations in the cockpit desisn of new airliners. At least two forthcoming British jetliners will be easily adaptable to in stallation of BLEU equip ment. Lockheed's new mill tary jet transport the Cl. will have a cockpit designed to carry an all-weather land- tng system. So will Boeing's short-range jetliner, the 727. '. The companies developing various all-weather landing systems have allowed regular airline pilots to test them for comment and criticism. One captain who tried FLARE SCAN described his expert enee in a recent article in Air lift Magazine. He praised the system but added: - "U is our endeaver to set a closer look at other develop ments and systems. No sys tem, of course, will suffice until its integrity has been proved. Likewise, H must fee 1 economically feasible," The author of the article 'i was, the late Cspt. Edward Bechtoid. He was command- ; ing the airliner that crashed in the fog at Idlewlld Nov. 30. Meteorologists Are Needed in Posts Corvallut - Everybody talks about the weather but there aren't nearly enough trained meteorologists to do the weather work and research needed today In America, the training director for the U S. weather bureau observed this week at Oregon State univer sity. The weather bureau, the armed forces. Industry, re search centers, and colleges are all In need of trained weather workers, according to Albert V. Carlin. He was at OSU to observe training under way at OSU this term for 28 weather bureau workers from 22 states and Washington, 0.C. The weathermen were select ed for the intensive program to broaden their weather training and to advance them in their careers as weather bureau mcterologitti. 4 Oregon State university it one of 16 universities In the country that prepares gradu ates to be professional meteor ologists.
