Model Plane Lecture
Enjoyed by Children

Nothing in the world has kept
young minds open quite so well as
flying, was the point emphasized
by Terrence Vincent, at assemblies
for children of both the Ross and
Foster Schools.
On the stage OF the Foster School
auditorium a fascinating display of
kites and model airplanes and Gid
ers was exhibited by Mr.. Vincent
who explained and demonstrated
their use.
In a brief address to over 900
children assembled in the audi
forum OF the Ross School, entitled
Feather Your Zest" Mr.. Vincent
said that his generation has learn
ed to fly in airplanes and balloons,
but that the coming generation
would soar aloft in helicopters and
ornithopters. He also stated that
in flying one is always seeking
something new.
After the address a contest
which ended in a tie was staged
by two of the youngsters selected
from the audience by George An.
drews, Of the Ross School, who ar
ranged the program.
Although 1t was not originally
planned to present the program at
the Forer School, Mr.. Vincent
gave a brief talk and demonstra-
ton for about 300 Foster school
students.
