European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - March 11, 1962, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Deg s Reading plan called systematic by Herb Scott staff write Heidelberg is parents can be assured their children Are getting the Best in modern read ing instruction in the Susareu schools one of America s Foremost child psychologists and educator maintained Here. The dependent education group dec Reading improvement pro Gram follows the latest precepts and techniques in corrective Steps for children lacking in ability to read said or. Donald d. Durrel Durrell Boston University pro Fessor of education and author of Many books for College courses teachers and parents also is noted for developing tests to determine the Reading capacity of children. He is in Europe to gather material for his writings and observe Reading instruction in the overseas american a two Day training conference for some 45 Deg read ing improvement specialists and school officials at Patrick Henry Village officers club Here Durrell said the program in the army dependent schools is no fanciful hazy approach to Reading the problems of Young children Are being tackled by highly systematic orderly biggest single cause of read ing failure in youngsters has Bee the reluctance to Start teaching them to read and waiting until child is ready to learn. There s no longer any excuse for a child to stumble Durrell said. School systems Are mastering the problem by Early identification of those who will have difficulties and by prompt treatment by Means of Reading improvement techniques in the Deg schools he asserted there is definite aggressive con Cern for identifying As Early As possible a child s level of ability to read the fundamentals a child must have to read he explained Are a knowledge of letter Nanies the alphabet and a Good ear for sounds of the spoken word. As a psychologist Durrell said i to longer can subscribe to vex plantations of Reading failure us has mental blocks family problems or other psychological mysteries we now know sufficient about Reading difficulties to prevent failures and make set Trot every Chaj learns to read. Durrell said where a Young child has trouble he usually is weak in an ear for sound but by giving him the necessary skills ear and letter knowledge hell move along today regular classes should of develops new Type solar Battery Washington Nana a new Type of solar Battery transform Jing the Energy of sunlight into electricity has been developed that ican be rolled up like a Rug for convenient carrying on a satellite when unrolled it can catch the maximum of sunlight at great Alti new development has just been revealed by the air Force research laboratories. The new Battery promises to deliver More Power for Given weight than any presently used equipment while costing Only a fraction As much. The secret of the Battery is the absorbing Power of the chemical Calcium Sulphide. Among the scientific discoveries with respect to this material the air Force announcement says is a million food increase in the conductivity of crystals when exposed at Low temperatures to Light from the Blue end of the spectrum and a Shock induced emission of Light from the crystals that has not been adequately the present singe of develop ment the measured efficiency a which the Calcium Sulphide cells convert the Energy of sunlight int electrical Energy depends on the area of the Battery cell being Meas ured. For Small areas it is 5 per cent which May be compare roughly with the 10 per cent for the Best single Crystal Silicon cell Snow being used in satellites. For Large areas it is about 1 per cent. Same Batlo at 1 per cent efficiency How Ever the Power to weight ratio in Watts per Pound is essentially the same As that of present cells and preliminary estimates place the Cost at 25 to 75 per cent lower. There it every reason to be says the report that the film cell can be made Only half As Berry As at p resell if this is done and of the efficiency of Large areas can Only 2 per cent to Power to weight ratio will be about four time that of present cell and the Cost will be Only a Small fraction of the present Cost the savings from this development alone would cover the entire Cost of research Many Martin staff gets two promotions Baltimore special a.

In place of a Central base of operations bombers will Fly from their Home bases to a Point where the com petition route becomes common to All competing aircraft. The competitive High Altitude navigation leg will be flown in route to the starting Point of the common mis Sion route. Gen Thomas a. Power. Sac com Mander in chief has approved the new concept us being less Likely to disrupt the command s War ready posture. Competing aircraft will include the b52, b47, b58, kc135 and the prop driven kc97. Awards will be made to Best of Crew in All types of aircraft flown. In addition the Best Overall bomber Crew and bes Overall Tanker Crew win receive individual awards.
