rescue
The Norwegian Air Force service, intended and designed to rescue pilots and other airmen who have had to bale out over the sea or in the hills, has gradually become a vital part of the civilian rescue system and has saved the lives of many mountain dwellers and farmers living in isolated districts.
Since helicopters were put into service in this branch of the Air Force, too, their importance as a civilian air ambulance service has increased. It is
now felt that even more of these hovering aircraft are needed, particularly in the wilder districts of North Norway.

TEACHES BLIND HOW TO FARM
Kolanya, North Kenya, Jan. 2.
The Salvation Army here is engaged on what it describes as a unique experiment teaching blind Africans to become self-supporting peasant farmers.
In five months, 12 pupile, all blind from birth and all classed as incurable by an eye specialist, have brought an eight-acre farm here under cul- tivation. They have cleared the weeds and planted out crops of cotton, cassava, vegetables, napier grass and banana trees.
The school, run by Senior' ability to estimate distances Captain Arthur Holland, from between rows of produce, the Tyldesly, near Manchester, is pupils Icarn 30 beat down belleved to be the only one of weeds and plant neat rows of its kind in the world.
