Here is It's account of a throup.li Kast F.u- rofc is like.) By EDWARD V. SHIELDS MOSCOW (UE'l)-A foreign correspondent's working life sometimes seems lo be spent at other peoples' border posts, pzrticuiarly if he is heading east inlo the Communist heartland. It's a drive from UPI-London lo UPI-Moscow--or 16 border posts. Hopyard Project Bid Set Oliver de Silva, of Oakland, was the apparent low bidder yesterday for a county-advertised project for widening Hopyard Road at its intersection with Interstate 580. The Oakland firm's bid of was one of five offers received by the board of supervisors.

Others ranged to $31,662 They were referred to the pub- lie works department for view. Plans call for grading, widening and resurfacing Hopyard for approximately 3400 feet south Highway 580, in conjunction with general improvements in the area and in coordination with the state's construction the Hopyard Road-Dougherty Road Freeway interchange. County engineers had esli mated cost of the project a 528,000 and expect the work wi' take about two months. In other action yesterday i the same general area, the su pervisors authorized Count Counsel Richard Moore to hegi condemnation action against te owners to obtain lam for widening Vasco Road at i intersection with Interstal 580. Here the state would normal! widen the road only to 88 feei claiming that width is sufficieni However, county engineers sa the road should be widened 110 feet and with the county' acquisiiion of the property, th state will do the grading an paving.

The going gets scratchy at Marienborn, on the edge of East Germny. Over the years the East Germans have built up a formidable mechanism to discourage casual motorists. There is a visa application torm, the visa iteself to be stamped in Ihe passport, a currency declaration orm to be filled out, a "road sage tax" to be paid, a assport inspection, possibly a aggage inspection. New Requirement The East Germans have ecentty added a new rerjuire- lent. They have decided they an no longer accept the oval iternational registration plates isued by the West Germans to ireigners buying a car in Wes' ermany.

The plates must come off reen and white ones must be ut on. An official sternly leasures the distance between ic fastening screw with a sort cardborad template. An hour and a half later, at le edge of West Berlin, the reen and white plates must be emoved and the originals eplaced. There is little paper ork at this end of the 110-mile ighway to West Berlin--but a lorough check in and under the ar to make sure no East erman refugee is riding the ods. The Poles take a little longer, nostly because a collection of utdaled Polish visas have to be tamped Only half an hour at the Oder iiver bridge, and the red-and- vhite barrier pole swings up and opens the way to Warsaw.

From Warsaw it's a short run the Polish border where the only brief delay is depositing a landful of zloties which cannot be taken out of the country, even to the fraternal Soviet Jnion. Two elaborate concrete posts, with red stars and hammer-and- sickles, and a soldier with a ubmachine gun, frame the entrance to Russia. Very Thorough The officials, in a bewildering variety of well-prssed uniforms of various border services, are extremely polite, extremely vourteous, and extremely thorough. Passports disappear into an a backroom. A foreign currency and travelers' checks must be listed.

"How many pieces of luggage?" "Drive to the customs shed and unload your car, please." It's raining but who argues with the customs? Vigilance had been demonstrated, and the road to Moscow was open. Temple Dedication A $2 million likeness of a magnificent Japanese temple and garden was dedicated in Honolulu last month, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the first of Hawaii's Japanese immigrants. The multi-million dollar Buddhist is a nearly exact replica of the famed Byodo-in at Uji, Japan, near Kyoto. Authorities consider the 900-year-oid Uji temple the most beautiful in the entire Kyoto, area. It has been designated one of Japan's National Treasures.

Murray District 'Wall-less School' Concept Approved DUBLIN Members of the Murray School Board last night set the wheels in motion for the expansion of a district school building and tentatively approved the wall-less concept of "outdoor'education" --all in less than a half hour. a a self-contradiction occurred during Ihe regular meeting of the board, which numbered only one of its five members, J. Henderson, absent. A placing their final stamp of approval on a No. 11,894 Dublin painting project bid and voting unanimously to call for bids on the construction of an addition to the Lydicksen School, the four trustees heard district curriculum director Jon J.

Slezak outline a unique "outdoor school proposal." IN A SIX-PAGE report to the trustees, Slezak suggested that the 500 sixth grade students be sent to a camp where "the activities and instruction will be planned and implemented by the Murray School District staff." Pointing out that high school and college students would be selected to aid the district's cer tified staff members at the country site, Slezak proposed that youngsters be sent in groups of 150 to participate in the program at Alliance Redwoods Camp in Sonoma County. Presently, the Alliance camp, located near the Occident, also is being used by the Lafayette and Walnut Creek school districts. Slezak' noted that a reduction in rent and staff cosls could be brought about hy pooling the three district's resources and reserving the site for a three-month period. THE NEWLY appointed cuiv riculum chief also stated, how-i ever, that a fee of about $25 per child would be necessary to offset the extensive food, rental a a a i penditures. Within the context of his report to the board, Slezak states, "Outdoor education as one oi the newest and most significant developments in the field of education, began with teachers who desired to move outside the four walls of their traditional classroom to teach those areas most effectively in a natural outdoor setting.

example, classroom teachers can make day-by-day use of the outdoors in the study of science, social studies, language arts, physical education, recreation, art, math, and all the other subjects studied in the classroom," he contended. AMONG THE characteristics Slezak enumerated in the report lo "distinguish what outdoor education is from what it is not," were: "Outdoor education is not a new subject matter area added to an already crowded curriculum. Ralher, it is an interpretation of the relatedness of many subject matter areas through the use of the outdoors. "It is not studying about those things found in the out of doors. It is observing inter-relations where they exist." "It is not a study of problems which already have been solved.

It is a discovery of problems need ing to be solved." REQUESTING that district supt. Ken Bradshaw confirm the legality of charging a $35 fee with the Alameda County counsel, trustee Steve Hellfaerg said, "I think it is readily apparent hat the outdoor concept is certainly worthwhile."
