...month for a weekend of reunion and reminiscence-and celebration of a kind of education that is vanishing from the American scene. Lucy Blachly (now Mrs. Ernest F. Smith of Chico, Calif.) and the school's first teacher, Norine McDonell, 82 (now Mrs. Roman Zeller of nearby Kalis-pell), recalled how farmers petitioned the county to open the school in 1904 for the valley's 26 children, including year-old baby Alma McClarty and Henry Dietrich, 19. They even built a barn for Adla Oldenburg's spotted riding horse, since she was too "delicate" a girl...
...Rushing pell-mell onto the court to congratulate his players, Ecuador's non-playing Team Captain Danilo Carrera tried to hurdle the net, tripped, fell and gloriously snapped an ankle. The victory was so unexpected that Ecuadorian tennis officials had no funds set aside to send Olvera and Guzman to next month's interzone semifinals in Europe. They immediately began taking up a collection-and U.S. Captain George MacCall contributed $50. For the losers, there was one final humiliation. From London came word that for the first time in memory no American player would be seeded...
...there is not a great deal to celebrate. Communist-led tribal bands in the interior are stepping up an ugly guerrilla war. Burma is nervous about the erratic course of Red China, with which it shares a wide-open 1,200-mile border. Even worse, the country's pell-mell plunge into socialism has pell-melled right into chaos. "This is not our kind of socialism," brooded a Polish diplomat in Rangoon last week. "It's not anybody's kind of socialism. It is very embarrassing...
...reticent, reluctant son of a peasant farmer, he rules a nation that won a bloody struggle for independence four years ago, and has since suffered grief from a pell-mell plunge into socialism. It is a land where 3,000,000 out of 12 million people are unemployed and 2,000,000 more are only partially employed. It is a land of piercing poverty, bitter-cold winters and scorching hot summers-all of which have combined to drive 700,000 Algerians to Europe for work and relief. France has 600 Algerian graduate engineers, while Algeria itself has only...
...urban development, the deficit could still break the postwar 1959 record of $12 billion. That would seem to point to a hefty tax hike-but another estimate crossed the President's desk last week that pointed in the opposite direction. According to the Commerce Department, industry's pell-mell increase in plant expansion, which did much to overheat the economy, is slowing down. This year, such outlays increased a lusty 17%-but by mid-1967, Commerce expects the rate to be halved, significantly cooling off the economy...
