...guiding principles from Jesuit fathers of St. Louis, who founded Belize's St. John's College in 1896 and taught Roman Catholic trade union-i§m in extension courses begun in 1947. The P.U.P.'s trade-union twin, the Gener al Workers Union, is an outgrowth of these courses, and George Price, the slender 35-year-old descendant of slaves who runs both outfits, is a St. John's graduate and a Catholic. Say the priests: "If we hadn't stepped in, the Reds would have." One result of their work is that...
...religious complexion of the University, which has been so much commented on recently is an outgrowth and a reflection of the social scene in the nation as well as here.

The shopping centers first sprung up haphazardly around supermarkets. Now they cluster around department stores and have become big, new "one-stop"' shopping centers. They are informal (women in slacks cause no raised eyebrows), have day nurseries for children, and generally stay open until 9 at night six days a week. They are the modern bazaar, where whole families can not only do their buying together but have an evening...

The idea is an outgrowth of the readings which Laughton did in U.S. Army hospitals during World War II (TIME, March 31), and which also generated the record-breaking Don Juan in Hell tour of the First Drama Quartette (Laughton, Charles Boyer, Cedric Hardwicke, Agnes Moorehead). The biggest problem faced by Producer Paul Gregory: how to make Laughton stand still long enough for the filming of the 15-minute shows. Laughton finally made nine of them in two days.
