British Schools To Have

Have Glider Training Course

London, May 1.

After some future momentous air battle, some Briton is going to hand posterity a saying that it was "won on the playing fields of England." He may be right too.

Soon now, boys at 60 schools in Britain will be taking lessons in gliding by sitting in a trainer which hovers fixedly three feet above their grass playing fields.

It will prepare them for later training in the Royal Air Force, air and boosting saving time strength.

The trainer can be built by the boys themselves by mount-

INVASION OF THE HOME"

Paris, May 1.

Europe and America exchanged some sharp comments on the mixed horrors and virtues of tele- vision, in Paris today.

Twelve delegates of seven. nations - all ex- penses paid by the United Nations Educational, 'Scientific and Cultural Organisation - got down to work debating the social impact of TV.

And M. Theo Fleischmann, the delegate from Belgium-which country has not oven got television yet-pictured this television horror of an American

home:

"It is e sort of invasion of the home with its spectully- calculated children's pro- grammes, with Its housewives who need to go out and buy special trousers to watch fele Vision in, rail. its relevision even for couples".

And with an unsmiling, dry cynicism M. Flelschmann add- ed:

ол

"It is n very odd, shodowy pic- ture of twilight, homes where othing else is being done but lighted concentration screen. I am not sure that this twilight atmosphere of tention and concentralien is suitable for

bildish recreation".
