Training of both horses and riders is a slow process.
For the first year, the horse is taught straight-forward
riding. This teachers him discipline and to trust his
trainer. The second year, the rider learns to guide the
horse and both learn to keep their balance doing turns
and figures. The horse is made to change paces and
speed by lateral work. The third and final year he is
taught a number of exercises or "steps" like the Piaf,
the Pirouette, the Passade and the Capriole, where the
horse jumps and throws himself forward. One
practically sees him floating in air. All these exercises
and gymnastic training have helped him to achieve a
harmony of the seemingly effortless movements
required by the horse ballet.
Hard times came upon the academy through the fall of
monarchy and wars. The horses had to be moved where
they would be safe from mishaps. During the Second
Word War, General George S. Patton after attending a
performance that was put on for the North American
occupation troops, sent armored freight cars to
transport the horses to safety and when peace was
restored, the horses were brought back to Vienna where
they continue to treat people to a wonderful spectacle
of the finest horsemanship.

EDWARD JENNER.
We rarely hear that a person has smallpox nowadays,
and everybody can be safe from it, for we now have a
vaccination.
But only a century ago there was always danger of this
dreaded disease which nearly killed all its victims and
doctors hardly knew what to do about it.
A long time ago people in the East had found a way to
fight the disease. They found that when a person had a
mild case of it, they would inoculate another person
from the first and the second one would then be safe or
immune from any bad attack. This secret had come to
England from Turkey but nothing much had been done
about it.
The conquest of these disease is due to Edward Jenner,
a country doctor who was born in Gloucester, England
in 1749. He had first studied medicine in Sodbury and
later in Lon-don. Then he went back to the country.
One day a milkmaid told him that she was not afraid of
smallpox because she had already had cowpox and
everybody knew that if you had either of these, you
would never have the other. Many milkmaids and
country people were sure about that. Jenner thought
that there might be something in it, so he started to
investigate. He studied case histories for about eighteen
years and discovered that the popular theory was true.
Cowpox is a disease that cows used to have; and
milkmaids would get it from them. He thought that if
he could give a person a mild form of cowpox, he
could save them from the terrible attacks of a smallpox.
Of course he met violent opposition but when in 1789,
risking his career, he inoculated a boy with cowpox by
making a slight cut in his arm and placing in the cut
material taken from a sore on the hands of a milkmaid,
ill with cowpox, the boy developed cowpox. When
later he tried to give the boy smallpox infection failed
to have any affect. After they found that deaths from
smallpox had dropped by two-thirds within two years
there was little room for doubt or argument. Jenner had
conquered one of man's worst foes.
What he discovered is called vaccination be-cause it
comes from the Latin word vacca.
Although he was not the first to inoculate with cowpox,
he was the first to publish his results and to establish
the practice of vaccination on a scientific basis. His
work inspired Louis Pasteur and ultimately led to the
science of vaccination and immunization and
preventive vaccines of the present day.
122.-How can everybody be safe from a smallpox
now?
a) Only a century ago there was always danger.
b) Doctors hardly know what to do about it.
c) Now we have vaccination.
d) In the east had found a way to fight disease.
123.-Who had first found a way to fight
the disease?
a) Edward Jenner, a country doctor.
b) People in the east.
c) A mild case of it.
d) The inoculated.
124.-What important information did Jenner get from a
milkmaid one day?
a) She was not afraid of smallpox, because she had
already had it.
b) He started to investigate it.
c) He studied case stories.
d) The popular theory was true.
125.-Where did milkmaids get the disease?
a) From a perwon mild dase.
b) From the terrible attacks of smallpox.
c) From other milkmaids.
d) From cows that used to have the disease.
126.-How did he inoculate the boy?
a) In 1798, risking his career.
b) With smallpox.
c) Making a slight cut in his arm, and placing the
material taken from a sore on the hands of a milkmaid.

POLLUTION AND MAN'S ENVIRONMENT.
Twenty-eight years ago when the smog of autumn had
lifted from Donora, Pennsylvania, twenty-one persons
had died from toxic pollutants and hundreds more were
required to be treated. Five years later (1952) four
thousand people died in a London smog due to a heavy
concentration of sulfur dioxide present in the air. The
Cuyahoga River in Ohio in 1969 became so polluted
that the river caught on fire when a cigarette was
thrown into the river. In a Japanese port city fifty-one
persons died a decade ago when people had eaten fish
with lethal dosages of mercury. Over six million metric
tons of oil are said to be floating in the oceans due to
ships cleaning out their tanks while out to sea. How
this oil will affect marine life is difficult to determine.
These examples are only a few of the many that could
be noted.
For a million years man has endeavored to subjugate
nature to his will. But now he is realizing that the
whole Earth is an ecological unit were all organisms
have mutual dependence be they hostile or not. Nature
can, and has, as in the example given, threaten man
with extinction in his own environment.
The threat of pollution is not only from a r taminated
nature but from man's own in 10
tion with himself. Noise, for example, from air-craft,
automobiles, trucks and buses in urban areas may have
effects that are as harmful to man's mental health as his
physical health through pollutants.
Until we have sufficiently large bodies of data to
determine how much man can withstand, it should be
the job of government and industry as well as
individuals to try to eliminate wastes from streams,
rivers and oceans; to reduce the noise as much as
possible in the environment. On the other hand, if
government insists on industry and citizens complying
with restrictions that cause undue hardship in the social
and economic spheres we run the risk of creating
another sort of stagnation-lose of employment and
taxes. It is hoped that governments, businesses and
individual citizens will act prudently as a group,
insuring that man's environment will be productive yet
free from pollution.
The campaigns of Woodsie the Owl-"Give a hoot, don't
pollute", "Pitch in, every litter bit hurts", the Boy
Scouts re-cycling of metals, glass and paper as well as
other organizations at-tempts to clean the environment
are positive signs that the environment is no longer
some-thing to be subjugated but taken care of by man.

b) To reduce noises as much as possible in the
environment.
c) Creating another sort of stagnation.
d) To eliminate wastes from nature and reduce noise.
132.-What should industry do?
a) Complying with restrictions chat cause undue
hardship.
b) Making loss of employment and taxes.
c) The threat of pollution is not only a contaminated
nature.
d) Cooperating with individuals a and government.
133.-What is hoped for the future?
a) That environment is no longer some-thing to be
subjugated but taken care of by man.
b) To insist on industry and citizens to comply loss of
environment and taxes.
c) The boy scouts replying of metal glass and papers.
SHOPPING CENTERS.
The predecessor of the shopping center, the supermarket
took the place of the nearby grocery store where people
used to buy their groceries, had a friendly chat with the
grocer who was familiar with their life stories, bought on
credit sometimes, and had their goods delivered if they
wished. All this was lost with the appearance of the
supermarket.
What did a supermarket have to offer? The greatest
advantage in this day of high-cost living: lower prices.
Why can a supermarket sell at lower prices than the
corner grocer? This is a quite easy to figure out: they buy
enormous quantities at a time and, in turn, get a lower
price. They also save labor costs since their goods are
sold on a self-service basis. Although they sell at a very
low profit, they sell such large quantities that they have a
big gross profit.
Their goods are clearly displayed and one may choose
exactly what one needs. This also gives you a chance to
familiarize yourself with the new products which appear at
the market every day.
The shopping cart was a brilliant and lucrative idea. With
them at hand, a person easily buys much more than his
arms can carry, and if the customer is carrying a baby,
the baby can sit comfortably in the cart and the customer
can continue his shopping with ease.
Now perhaps your curiosity has been aroused and you
ask yourself, "When and where did supermarkets
originate?" Most likely, no one knows.
Around supermarkets, with large parking areas, other
stores -clothing, hardware, jewelry -immediately arise,
thus creating a shopping center.
These shopping centers are taking in most of the
downtown trade, leaving a desolate and not very
attractive downtown section in some cities.
Now, instead of just a supermarket and the stores
surrounding it, there are fabulous shop-ping centers
coming to life. Some of these have theaters, movie
houses, churches, and recreational areas.
Let's take, for instance, the Farsta shopping center near.
Stockholm Sweden. It is a wonderful place with eight
buildings and a church. It has four large parking areas
besides a garage that holds three hundred cars.
It has a beautiful plaza which was thought out very
carefully. The central attraction of the plaza is the thirty
years-old oak tree. There are also statues, a fountain,
beautifully colored flower-beds, whit benches surrounding
them. Likewise, there are flag poles, show cases and
room enough for temporary ornamental elements. You
will also find in de plaza a small supervised area where
children can play while their parents leisurely do their
shopping.
The Farsta has very large stores, all kinds of shops,
offices, a post-office and a church. It also has several
specialized doctors, dentist, a maternity clinic, a public
library, a social service office, a youth center, drugstores,
a movie house, a theater, a police department, an auto-
repair shop and restaurant. Would you like to spend a day
at Farst in Stockholm?
A completely different aspect of the previous shopping
center, is "The Cannery" in San Francisco, California. As
the name suggest, it used to be a canning center factory.
The entire place was remodeled by an architect named
Joseph Esherick and, in the matter of architecture, he
omitted nothing on create "life" or intensity the original
aspects of the building. He restored the three stories and
these were turned into stores, shops, and restaurants.
Narrow winding streets, gas lanterns, stairs, balconies,
archades and early century motifs were added.
"The Cannery" is supposed to be a tourist attraction, but
as difficult as it is to explain, the fact remains that there
are many San Franciscans who prefer "The Cannery" for
their shopping.
Several questions have arisen as to the reason: Is it a
reaction to the skyscrapers in many American cities? Is it
to elude modern structures, the shopping centers, the
self-service cafeterias? Is it "snob appeal" -when qualities
in a product, as a high price, rarity or forcing origin appeal
to the snobbery of the purchaser?
But then, perhaps, it could merely be romantic taste for
gas-lit lanterns, and narrow-winding streets!

Desiderata.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember
what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible,
without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quickly and clearly; and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to
the spirit. If you compare your-self with others, you may
become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater
and lesser per-sons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep
interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real
opportunity of possession in the changing fortunes of
times.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is
full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue
there is; many persons strive for high ideals and
everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially,
do not feign affection. Neither be cynical love; for in the
face all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the
grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully
surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit
to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress
yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a
whole-some discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a
child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars
you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear
to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be in peace with God, whatever you conceive
him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations; in
the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with the soul. With
all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a
beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.
