Robot Tractor

Mr E. A... Cory, who farms a large acreage of arable land at Compion Abdale, Giencester, has designed and installed « system of robot control for a Fordson Diesel tractor, which enables it to work on various operations without driver or supervision. Fixed, on to the tractor's steering gear is an arm connected by thin cord to square' reel con control Dost in the centre of the land being worked. The tractor is started from the centre and the pull on the cord sicers it in a circle which increases in diameter as the cord unwinds. When the limit set is reached, the card begins to re-wind and the operation is repeated in reverse unil the tractor reaches the centre again, when it automatically stops. To prevent any Salsbar, control bumpers are fitted to the front of the machine, and the fuel to the engine is immediately cut off if these come into contact with a wall, hedge, or any other obstacle. in this way the tractor can be left, Idle. This robot control has been well tested and found successful.

Lions and leopards are eating more natives in Southern Tanganyika than formerly because the Africans have shot out so much of the game, according to the magazine "African Wild Life."
A game ranger in the Dgeza district, where lions ate nine Africans, explained: There being very little game left in the area, the lions must eat something and they usually proceed to take cattle and goals, with the occa- sional human being thrown in.

Over 10,000 Coloured Children In
West
Germany
Bonn, Apr. 25.
Dr Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Prize winner, musician, author and doctor,, has backed the struggle of a German pastor's wife to improve fate of 10,000-odd coloured children in West Ger- many.
These children, fathered by United States and French soldiers in the Occupation forces, were born with the stigma of illegitimacy and are growing up to an uncertain future. They are the unwanted children who say: "My father's name is 'uncle"."
Some live with their mothers, but the majority are in orphanages or in "nests” families who tem- porarily take up to ten illegitimate children into their homes.
In spite of the official attitude that no
one may suffer 1 disadvantage because of his race, a deep rift separates the coloured children in Germany: from their white contemporaries.
FUTURE LIFE
Fran Irene Dilloo," a Buhr pastor's wife, conclud- ed that it would be best for there "unwanted «children?" to be brought up t the company of their own kind. Contact with white children should be encouraged, she their education said, but should prepare them for a future life abroad, in the United States, Africa or the Portuguese colonies.
Two years ago, Frau DiEco began a countrywide campaign to draw public attention to the fate of these coloured children. The first phase of this campaign ended in March, when she opened a home for children at Wuppertal, in the Ruhr. The
