Students Tape Comics To Aid Blind Children In High School Project PETERSON, N.J. LPI'-A gun bangs, a dog barks, a small, wor ried feminine voice cries: "Sandy!'' What's going on? Is it mayhem or murder.' No. Those are the sounds of magnetic tape faithfully unreeling the trials and tribula tions of ageless ' Little Orphan Annie" and her dog. Sandy. The taping of "Little Orphan Annie." "Dick Tracy." "Blondie." "Winnie Winkle" and other comic strips is a New Jersey school project undertaken by student volunteers for the benefit of blind children. This is Operation Comic Strip at Eastside High School here. It is administered by a director of student activities, Joe Frank, who is himself blind, and 50 students Most of the rehearsing and re cording is done in students' homes alter school hours. The completed tapes are delivered to the New Jersey Camp for the Blind at Marcella and to Paterson's School No. 2. Boy Sends Note What is the response? One note from a blind boy simply read Thank you for the tapes. I liked the comics. Some of the comics are funny. We listen to the tapes on Friday. Even your practice tape was good. Tell the children I like the tapes very much." The note had been carefully typed on a raised-dot Braille type writer. And one of the student volun teers said of Operation Comic Strip: "The expressions on these kids' faces as they listened to our re cording are something I'll always remember." The students use three tape re corders to dramatize the comics. One recorder has pre-recorded sound effects, with dogs barking.

(UPII - Oklahoma has claimed another first among rodeo performers; He is 15-vcar-old Mike Driskell, believed to be the youngest pro- tcssional rodeo announcer in the nation. Mike is a sophomore at Col bort High School near here. He got his start last June when the regular announcer failed to show up at a local rodeo. "They'd heard me mimicking him, Mike said, "and the cow boys talked tlie promoter into letting me fill in tor him." Mike said he would like to stick with the job as a career. He said the big time announcers receive $5,000 for a single rodeo His price is JIO. 1 wanted to be connected with rodeos," he said.

A second recorder has a pre recorded taiic with lead-in music by the school's band and by the choral groups. The third recorder captures all the sounds and dra matizations of the comics. A reel of tape runs about 50 minutes, but each tape takes four hours of rehearsal. Non-serialized comics are recorded every iwo weeks during the school year. Se rials are recorded once a month to give four weekly episodes in one tape. Urges Voice Use Frank, because he knows the problems of the blind, cautions his volunteers that their voices must make up for in sound what blind children can't see. "All vis ual expressions must be brought out through your voices," Frank admonishes. "You have to make your voice denote excitement, fear, or whatever emotion is nec essary to the comic strip." I-rank has answered inquiries from more than 50 schools want ing to start Operation Comic Strips of their own and has pre pared his own detailed how-to-do-it memorandum available to anyone who asks for it. One congratulatory note held in high esteem by all the student volunteers reads in part: ". . . if we but look around us. there is so much we can do to show our love and concern for our neighbor, and the activities of these boys and girls in providing, by means of Operation Comic Strip, such unique entertainment for the blind children of their community is to be commended indeed ..." The letter was in reply to one sent by Marsha Cohen, an East side student. It was signed by Ralph A. Dungan, special assist ant to President Kennedy. coming air raid on Sofia and to give them a good many details of the preparations for D-day (but not the key secret the date of the invasion). Bazna's story as the Nazis knew it was told some time ago in the book ' Operation Cicero" by L. C. Moyzisch, his contact at the German embassy Its truth was reluctantly acknow leged by the British government. I Was Cicero adds a good deal of drama to the story.

Stenotypist Sets Record WASHINGTON UPI - It isn't every girl who comes to tlie na tion's capital and within a year is taking down off-the-cuff re marks by President Kennedy cabinet members, and Pierre Sal inger, the White House press sec retary. But such happened to pretty blue-eyed Gloria Horning of Mo bile. Ala. Miss Horning, a blonde is a stenotypist who goes often to the White House to record the Salinger press briefings. Miss Horning got a job with the Alder- son Reporting Co. when her sten- ntyping speed reached 150 words' a minute. She now is up to 200 words a minute.

NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE Drinking Africans Like Speakeasy Aimosphere JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (UP1) Despite the lifting of Af rican proniDition last August, many Africans here still prefer to drink their liquor in the speak easy atmosphere of the illegal she been. The shebeens have flourished in the cities of South Africa for decades. Their customers range from gangsters and prostitutes to African city workers and even the occasional white man who en joys the freewheeling, no-holds barred aura of illicit drinking. Some shebeens have reputations for providing the best live jazz in Africa today. The survival of the shebeens had been predicted even before the new liquor act came into force, theoretically putting them out of business. Psychologists. both amateur and professional said the lure of "forbidden fruit' and sheer force of habit would keep the shebeens busy. Now a sociological survey by the University of the Witwaters rand has confirmed this. The study was made by four sociology students, all non-whites. They worked independently and came to identical conclusions. According to the researchers, the sheebeen. selling its liquor il legally, without a bar license, at prices up to double the official price fulfills the function of an African social club. With few exceptions, the scores of shebeens in the Johannesburg area are still crowded. The Johannesburg City Council has provided "drinking areas" for the citv's 700.000 Africans, but Sunday, March 3, 13 1 Mfyt they are drab, antiseptic places compared to the riotous atmos phere of the shebeens. The "drink ing areas are all in the Alrican townships ringing Johannesburg. They do not cater to the mass of Africans working and living in the city. Photo Hunter Uses Blind United Press International Photographers interested in a variation of "bring 'em back alive" hunting' can find an excit ing and rewarding pastimi'1 in hunting with a camera. The art requires as much skill as that used by the sportsman who shoots his quarry with a gun. Whether hunting small game in your own back yard or larger birds and animals in the woods certain tried approaches will prove helpful. Take along flash equipment. Wooded areas often are too dark to make use of available light. In all four seasons, in your back yard or out in the woods and fields, there are numerous opportunities for photographing birds close up.
