Adults Interested "The program has been especially successful in interesting adults and youth in those areas where housing projects and schools work together as in Aliso Village and the Jordan Downs at Watts.

At the latter place there is a softball league of 400 boys and men, one league composed of young men in industry, also a number of dramatic and music clubs and several discussion groups." BY VIRGINIA STEWART GUATEMALA CITY (Guatemala.) For American women, we who enjoy professional equality with men, it may be hard to grasp the situation of women in Central America. In Mexico there are a few courageous, determined women willing to sacrifice social position, a happy home and children for a. profession. In Guatemala there are even fewer professional women.

Philharmonic Aides Assist Wallenstein in Saturday 'Symphonies for Youth' They may argue about Dum barton Oaks and foreign policies in general or learn how to conduct a barbecue for their church. It's all interesting, fun, and its-purpose is to give participants that little lift to help them in the big job of living with other people.

Valued by Children "To the boys and girls themselves, of course, the activity is everything," says C. L. Glenn, head supervisor of the health, phj'sical education and welfare branch of the curriculum department of the schools. "But to us who are watching and planning the social training they get out of this intermingling, boy with girl, youth with adults, and all races and all creeds, is the all-important thing. Some of the schools where there was a lot of trouble report a definite drop in delinquency.

We know we are accomplishing a good deal." Expansion Succeeds There always has been such a program, Mr. Glenn said, but 7 i allows the club and forum members to attend Thursday morning rehearsals preceding the evening concerts, a departure from the usual rule of major orchestra conductors.

She is in Guatemala on a research job for the Pan-American Bureau. Collaborating with Dr. W. B. Clark of Tulane University, New she has visited infested zones in Guatemala to make a study of the eye disease With Dr.

Clark she is preparing a report based on a review of 1200 cases studied in Guatemala. Aims to Find Cure The disease, found in areas of Guatemala. Mexico and the African Gold Coast, is one of a number frequently causing blindness. It is transmitted by a fly. Dr.

Noble has experimented with inoculation. She hopes to continue the study through clinical and pathological research to effect a cure. At present the only treatment is to cut out the characteristic bumps and hope the infection has not spread. Pan-American Bureau engineers are sterilizing streams with DDT. Unlike the malarial mosquito, these flies breed in clear, flowing water.

Engineers are taking one stream, sterilizing its source, and following it toits mouth. Pioneer In Practice When a medical student in Mexico City, Dr. Noble went to an eye clinic. Oculist work appealed to her. She was graduated in 1933 from the University of Mexico Medical School, taking her internship in Mexico City General HospitaL Here she devoted much time to the eye clinic.

When she opened her office in Mexico City she was the only woman oculist in private practice.

Members of the Women's Philharmonic Committee assist at each program.

Solidarity of Purpose There is solidarity of purpose which welds three groups of Los Angeles' young people in their intense interest in music. They are the Junior Philharmonic clubs, whose members stage their own orchestra maintenance campaign with the opening of schools each fall; the hundreds of young persons belonging to College Forums, whose leaders make buying season tickets for the Thursday evening concerts a prerequisite for membership, and, finally, the thousands of elementary and high schoolgirls and boys who attend the Saturday morning concerts.
