Throngs Watched
Races in Ron7e's
Circus Moxin7us
BY Romon Coffmon

The largest athletic arena on
this continent is the Philadelphia
Municipal Stadium. which will
hold about 10000 persons. Close
behind is Soldiers Field, Chicago.
Those are great stadiumS, but the
Circus Maximus of ancient Rome
was much larger; it would hold
more than 100000 persons.
There were morning events in
the Circus Maximus, and the
dawn of day saw men. women
and children leaving their homes
and streaming through the streets
Of Rome. They were anxious to
obtain good seats, from which
they could cheer for their IA
vorite colors-the Reds, the
Whites, the Blues or the Greens.
Entering through many gate
ways, the Romans climbed STAIR
ways to reach the best places
they could find. There were re-
served seats for personss of high
position, as senators and knights,
and q special box was set aside
for the emperor. Also there were
reserved seats for the Vestal Vir-
gins, whose chief task IN life was
to watch over the holy temple
fires.
At one end of the field were stalls
where chariots were made ready.
All eyes turned toward the officer
Of the day as he held a white
cloth high in the air. When he
dropped the cloth, it was the sig
nal for the race to start.
Out dashed four chariots, one
paintSu red, one blue, one white
and one green. They were drawn
by steeds of rare strength and
speed. t
The watching throng beloved
rs the chariots moved forward,
and we are told that the shout
ing could be heard several miles
away. Lashing at his horses with
a long whip, each charioteer tried
to be first around the posts. There
was a struggle to get the inside
position when a curve was being
rounded.
To mark the finish of each lap,
an official took one of seven mar
BILE eggs off of a low wall. /
The first race was only one of
many. It was usual for from Is
to Is races to be held in a single
day. A chariot might be pulled
by two, three, four or five horses,
and now and then six horse cha
riots were employed.

Student Tells of War Flight
Across European Lands
By Sam Eostmon

Helen Boldyreff, Is, of 512 Sixth
street Sc, compares her many
hours of enforced travelling to the
voyage of the famous Flying
Dutchman. Unlike the phantom
ship of the legend, however, Helen
has reached port-she is, at last,
= District resident. with the life
of political refugee behind her.
After living in constant uncer-
tainty for more than six years in
as many countries, she feels she
has had her share of wandering.
Born in Yugoslavia of Russian
parents, Helen was the youngest
member of a small mining colony
on the slope of the 6,000-foot
Kapaonic Mountain, near Bel
grade. From there she moved to
attend a Russian school in Bel
grade, where she was student
for about three years.
Mother Enslaved.
With the first German attack,
her father was arrested and their
home and other property were
seized. Helen was not quite when
her family arrived in Vienna, Aus
tria. There her mother was forced
into slave labor, and her father
disappeared temporarily after hav-
ing escaped captivity.
Helen once more took up the life
Of a student, but not for long.
Near the end of 1914, her family
was forced to move again. this
time to Norhausen, a concentra-
tion camp area in Hanover, Ger
many. -.---... -.- ---e-
BY this time her father, Con-
stantin Boldyreff. was again cap
tured by the Germans. He was
caught when he returned from
underground warfare in Russia.
The family was freed from op-
preston for a time by the Ameri-
can liberation. but they soon
found that the Russian troops
who arrived were no better than
the Germans had been, because
the family held opposite views
to those Of the Communists. The
family moved again. this time to
Paris.
Rejoins Father.
After a school year there for
Helen. the next to the last leg of
their journey was undertaken.
Helen and her mother joined Mr..
Boldyreff in French Morocco,
where he was organizing resettle-
ment Of displaced persons. After
little more than year there, the
family came to America.
Helen is now a senior at Eastern
High School. Mr.. Boldyref is
= professor at Georgetown Uni
versity. where Helen hopes to con-
tinue her education in preparing
herself for a career as a foreign
correspondent. Her knowledge of
five languageS-English, French,
Russian. German and Serbian
will stand her in good stead for
this work. Already she is cor
respondent for a foreign youth
newspaper. Her hobby is collect
ing stamps.

Picking Dead Name
Makes Live Trick

In this trick the magician tears
"a sheet of paper into strips and
passes the pieces to the audience,
requesting that those receiving
slips write the name of some
living person on their slip, all
except one, who is to write the
name of dead person. The slips
are then folded and collected,
and the performer Immediately
selects the dead person" slip!
To perform the trick, you should
use sheet of paper about four
inches wide and eight or ten
inches long. The tearing is done
with a ruler, which. if you have
ever noticed, leaves a minute
rough edge on the paper. AS a
result of tearing with a ruler,
you will have the two end slips
with one rough and one smooth
edge. The inside slips will all
have two rough edges.
+ Now for the trick! You de-
stroy the first slip in demonstrate
ing the way the names are to be
written, and then pass the re-
naming slips to the audience on
a tray, requesting names of living
persons on all slips but the one
which has the outside smooth
edge, and on this you request
that the name of a dead person.
say. "Lincoln"-be written.
After the slips have been col
lected, you take them, one by
one. and press them to your fore
head.
If the slip gives you a warm
sensation, then you know that it
is live person" slip; if the slip
feels cold and clammy, then it is
the dead person" slip! At least,
that's what you tell your audi
ence. Really. however. you make
your divination by watching the
lone smooth-edged slip, dramatic
ally announcing this as the dead
person-"Lincoln!"

Gently experienced two earth
5quakes in a single day.
"The first one came. at noon
while my girl friend and I were
sitting in her car, eating our
lunches" Janet writes from 2023
Ensenada street. Lemongrove,
Calf. "All of a sudden, the car
began to shake as If some one
were on the back bumper, jump
ing up and down. I looked
through the rear window, but
could not see any one. Then we
noticed that the car in front of
us was swaying quite q bit. Be-
fore too many seconds had passed,
the trembling stopped. but it
seemed like hours that we sat
there, helpless.
That evening after dinner" !"
Janet's letter continues. Il was
sitting in the living room, reading
the newspaper, and the paper be-
gan to shake in my hands, the
Venetian blinds began to sway,
the mirrors swung out from the
walls, the lamps danced on the
tables. and I could feel the floor
move beneath my feet.
My mother ran out of the
house. shouting, 'Earthquake!'
but all l could do was sit there. I
would have let the house topple
on me. I guess. If the quake had
been that severe. Fortunately, no
damage was done by either earth
quake, except a few hundred

NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY was
m0mentOus year for the United Nations-a
year of grave crisis climaxed by U.N. action
to restore the peace in Korea. Confronted
by the invasion of the Korean Republic, the
Security Council promptly called for col
lective action to halt the armed attack. For
the first time in history armed forces of
various nations took the field under the blue
and-white banner of the United Nations in
joint effort to support the Security Council,
halt aggression and reestablish peace.
The year saw the adoption of vital meas
ures to increase the effectiveness of U.N.
as an instrument for maintaining peace. The
General Assembly was authorized to act in
emergency should the Security Council fail
to act Member nations were called upon to
earmark units of their own national forces
for U.N. service. Meantime, a fresh call was
made to the Big Five to make further efforts
to resolve outstanding differences by meet
ing and discussing major problems threaten
ing world peace.
Despite its preoccupation with the major
issues of the cold war;" the United Nations

in 1850 stepped up the pace of its concerted
drive against poverty, disease, hunger and
illiteracy through its expanded program OF
Technical Assistance. Fifty-fOur countries,
large and small, Members and non-members
of U.N, pledged more than S2O,OOO,OOO for
an international program to help the under
developed regions of the world help them
selves to improve their standards of living.
Round the world, U.N.'s family of special
ized agencies was working for improvements
in such vital spheres as health, labor, food,
education. Displaced persons and refugees
were given a new start in life; the Onslaughts
of fdisease-particularly tuberculosis, malaria,
yaws, were being checked by international
campaigns. World control of narcotics was
tightened; measures to suppress the traffic
in persons were strengthened in a new Con-
vention; the campaign in defense of human
rights and against discrimination consistently
extended.
AS the world organization entered its sixth
year-despite the strains and perils of our
time-there was no doubt that the United
Nations had established itself firmly as the
hope of the peoples of the world.

Ohio produces more sheep than
any other state east of the Miss
