Students constructed the merry-go-round, helped compose a catchy tune which they sing while six class members ride, learned to tell time by keeping an eye on the clock during the time, alloted for each ride, took turns acting as operator to learn to count money, wrote poems about the merry-go-round and letters to other classes inviting them to come in for a ride.

G. ROGERS AP Arts Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 16 4M Here, says Toynbee, is our great task: In a world possessing the atom bomb, in a world reduced to two immense powers squared off against each other, it is. "imperative for man in process of civilization to abolish war." To abolish war, he says, the bomb must be placed under one single authority. He doubts the United Nations could do the job: He doubts Washington would let Moscow try it, or Moscow would let Washington.

But given an interim of peace, or at least of nonwar, He thinks there is hope in a federal union; and he is encouraged to think so by the fact that the United States and Russia both must be sympathetic to federalism since there is federalism in both their governments. This is one of the timelier conclusions drawn in the four last volumes, published this week (Oxford), of Arnold J. Toynbee's monumental "A Study of History." It is a 10-volume work, projected 30 years ago, outlined in 1929. The notes essential for the. last four books were deposited with the Council on Foreign Relations, in New York, during the war wars; Toynbee sent them here for safekeeping when, as early as Munich, in 1938, he thought war was imminent.

The first three volumes appeared in 1934, the next three in 1939; and in 1947 there was a best-selling of the six by D. C. Somervell. This vast "study" ranges around the world, and plunges deep into thera before Christ. When Toynbee speaks of 1952, for instance, he writes "A.D.

1952," for however important the present is to us, to the historian and philosopher with Tonbee's vision it must be placed in its proper perspective as just another year. Everything has been grist to his While he draws his principal thought and inspiration from Christianity, he nevertheless calls to witness the most disparate materials our Plains Indians, the time it takes to walk from Sunium to Athens, "Kon-Tiki," the dismal Jersey meadows across the Hudson from here, Longfellow's "I shot an arrow into the air," the fact that Lord Br3ce at 77 ran upstairs two steps at a time, and not only ancient Troy of Homer and Schliemann but also the Troy N.Y., where linen collars are made. "In A. T. 1952," he says, "no one in the world could foreknow the outcome of the ordeal towards which the world series was then manifestly moving." This was not being pessimistic, and definitely not determinist.

like the Oswald Spengler of "The Decline of the West." But the decline of the west was definitely not ruled out Toynbee. He is not sure catastrophe can be avoided, and he notes that all universal states have expected they would last forever and yet. present-day company excepted, have vanished. If obliged to choose, he would much prefer the United States to Russia, but he wishes this choice could be avoided. There would be incalculably great benefits in the spiritual realm if the United States-Russian conflict could be settled without war, he believes; and our peril lies not in the possession of atomic power, but in iiacuig! Hearing jj no manufacturer is ever since hearing aid parts are PHONE 2-6031 ii i Colorful Garments Sweep Into Fashion By BERME ROTH Not since the Indians sold the Island of Manhattan have 'east erners taken so to a product traceable directly to Indians.

And because the eastern folk have become interested in southwestern fashions, one Tucson business has just completed an expansion program of nearly $25,000. The cause of the fashion sensation squaw dresses, once worn by the women of southwestern Indian tribes now being worn in top fashion circles throughout the nation. Richard Barcelo and his sister, Dolores Gonzales owners and operators of Dolores' resort fashions have just completed a new factory to produce their colorful and Etylish squaw dresses. Located on North Main street, the Dolores factory has been geared to turn out 60 squaw dresses daily, and not on an assembly, line production basis cither. The list of the stores they supply with their product reads something like the who's who of top fashions.

Among them are Bullocks' on the west coast; Stix-Baer and Fuller in St. Louis and Marshall Field and company in Chicago. They also have many outlets in "New York City. "The funny part of this," com-Iments Barcelo, f'is that when we opened a store in Tucson in 1937 we sold only dresses and most of our stock came from places where we are now supplying dresses." I Barcelo credits bis talented sister Dolores whose name the I business carries with all the Euccess. "She is wonderful with colors land the way she blends them in complete simplicity makes our dresses so original." And the names of people who have asked for Dolores' original squaw dress creations would amaze you.

Today these dresses fashioned by Dolores are being worn by Mamie Eisenhower and Pat Nixon, the nation's first and second ladies; Cyd Charisse, and, many others in the movie industry. Starting with "just a small shop" on West Council street, the budding Tucson industry turned out "Broom-stick skirts." Then the Mexican peasant blouse came into popularity and another product was added to the business. Today the Dolores factory employs 22 workers, each working a high-speed sewing machine turning out squaw dresses. The new factory is completely air-conditioned and complete facilities for safety and comfort are installed. "The business keeps growing and we grow with it," commented Dolores.

"There are some 200 machines now working in Tucson turning out squaw dresses. Although many people may not realize it, the squaw dress industry is a big one in Tucson with a weekly payroll in the thousands of dollars." Built with an eye on the future, the new plant can be geared to triple its output of the colorful creations. "We will never sacrifice our quality, however," affirms Barcelo. "Each girl works on a dress until it is completed. We will never change from that.

An assembly line production on our dresses will make them lose originality. These women like to sew and they take great pride in their work." What was once worn proudly by Indian squaws is now being worn throughout the country by many women. And because the squaw dress has become so popular, one phase of an important Tucson industry will continue to hum in full tempo Lone Raftsman Just Missed Death At Sea PAGO PAGO. American Samoa. Oct.

16. LP A lone raftsman who drifted more than 6,000 miles from Peru to Samoa disclosed today that he cnce har-. rowly escaped death when tossed overboard while pulling in a shark. William Willis, 61-year-old New Yorker, arrived yesterday after a 115-day voyage on his 35-foot balsa raft, "Seven Little Sisters." the winner of a test of one man against the sea. Refreshed after his first night's sleep ashore since June 21, he told of his close call which came Tvhile he was five weeks out from Callao, Peru.

He was pulling in a five-foot shark when the raft rolled, tossing him into the sea. He barely managed to grab the tip of a line he had trailing behind the raft. Quickly he wrapped is around his left wrist. Slowly he inched himself forward to the tossing raft. He said the line bit into his wrist so badly that it cut an artery.

But he didn't notice the spurting blood until he had clambered back onto the raft. "That was the worst incident cf the entire trip," Willis said. Willis arrived in good shape. So did his cat after eating the third raft occupant, a parrot, three days ago. Willis today presented the raft to the government of American Samoa.
