Queen passes by.
About BO per cent of individual

Government for taxes for this,
highly socialized country which
also has its unemployment prob

Rotorua or other spots in New

minerals and the high cost of Im

care of their autos, most of them
small. The Klamath Falls visitors
saw only one Cadillac during
their visit.

He gave them a hundred tilings,

What's going on? Is it mayhem

tions of ageless ' Little Orphan

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.

Mike is a sophomore at Col

captures all the sounds and dra

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

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

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,

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.
She said the top men in her;
office can record 300 words a
minute just about the speed
necessary to keep up with Kenne
dy at his news conferences.
Miss Horning is a graduate of
Stephens College and Louisiana
State University. She also studied
at Juilliard School of Music in
New York and as she put it
"had hoped to set the world on
fire" as a coloratura in opera.
At the White House, she usual-'
ly works in the west w ing the
office side. But recently she went
to the mansion to record the re
marks of Jacqueline Kennedy
who was meeting with the White
House Fine Arts Committee.

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

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.

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.
