It is open to children between the ages of seven and 16, who come on strict rotation no more than once or twice a week. Here they can take part in all sorts of games, hobbies, music, or dancing, and attend classes on Mao Tse-Tung thought, industry and military affairs. Even In play, the political aspect is not forgotten. The adventure playground is a miniature combat training ground, with a tunnel, aerial ropeway and other hazards to be negotiated as the children go round the course.

In a series of booths similar to a fairground, children can race each other on stationary bikes as their progress is marked by flashing lights on a screen. Next door, there is a rifle range where the youngsters are taught the elements of marksmanship with air rifles. Alongside that, two young girls with the aid of a battery-lit model demonstrate the procedure to be adopted in the event of an air-raid-pressing buttons and lights to show aircraft flying overhead, anti-aircraft guns in operatlong and underground shelters. In the hobbies rooms, the children make small electric motors which are sent off to be used in factories, or build model boats and model planes. In a showcase of models made by former pupils are depicted every type of American aircraft shot down over Vietnam.

There Is also a barbers salon, where do-it-yourself young hairdressers cut each hair in a distinctly "pudding basin" style. Practical first aid includes making a sling for a broken arm and acupuncture insertion, with a phlegmatic teacher calmly holding out her hand and showing no pain as pupils jab in the stainless steel needles. SOLO RIDE Belgium, Reuter Postal worker Jean-Pierre Vallee, 26, plans to leave here in June on a solo bicycle ride around the world, pedaling his way through 70countries in four years. THE WORLD AND MILAM COUNTY SHANGHAI EAST BERLIN ISTANBUL LOS ANGELES COLUMBUS, OHIO Combined of Reuters News Agency and Herald News Department Ancient German Bones Uncovered By Derek Parr Reuter Correspondent EAST BERLIN The discovery of long- buried human bones has enabled archaeologists to draw a grim picture of life in northern Germany over 2,000 years ago. The ancient German had less than a 50 per cent chance of living to the age of 20, and toothache could be fatal, according to the evidence.

Excavations in the East German province of Schwerin last summer unearthed a communal grave containing the bones of 31 people who lived some 2,400 years ago. Studies of the bones were carried out at the Academy of Science in East Berlin, They revealed that 17 of the individuals more than half- had died before reaching maturity. Five perished in early childhood, 10 more between the ages of seven and 14. Only three are calculated to have reached the age of 40. The average life expectancy of those who finished up in the Schwerin grave was 18 years.

Examination of the remains showed that these early Germans had suffered from Arthritis, ossification of the muscle joints, spinal degeneration, and tooth and jaw ache. Virulent ailments of the time had changed the skeletal pattern, and even tooth and jaw irritation had caused death, according to a report In the official East German communist newspaper, Neues Deutschland. The Schwerin grave, made of stones, was in a burial mound three feet high and an average of 40 feet across At that time the dead were cremated on a wooden pyre. The bones were then put in earthenware containers and buried about one foot deep. Cremation could help prevent the spread of contagious diseases like bubonic plague.

The grave was also interesting for its social implications, according to Neues Deutschland. Jewell ery was found in only five Of the 31 people buried there, indicating that the group had not been wealthy, UNIQUE SURGERY Sydney, Australia, Reuter Surgeons in Sydney lead the world in operations to replace severed fingers and toes, according to the Medical Journal of Australia.

Dylana Jenson joins a select list of seven violinists under aegis which includes David and Igor Olstrakh, Isaac Stem and Nathan Milstein. A chubby little girl with braces on her teeth but with the assured stance of a Paganini when she has a violin under her chin, she began training at the age of four under the unconventional system of Japanese master Shinichl Suzuki.

Suzuki, 72, believes violinists should start at three even before they can read music, that their mothers should work with them, and that they should listen to good music almost from birth. Dyl parents, musical but not musicians, took three of their children along to meet Suzuki when he passed through Los Angeles in 1964. The parents became firm converts to the Suzuki method. Mrs. Jenson, a Costa Rican, stayed up at night studying the lessons she had to give her children next day Classical music was played all the time In the house although folk music Including Bob Dylan was occasionally permitted.

Dylana progressed more rapidly than the others. When she started playing the Vivaldi A Minor Concerto her mother could no longer keep pace with her A teacher had to be found but the difficulty was finding one who would accept to teach the Suzuki method. Explaining why she thinks Dylana succeeded better than her brothers and sisters Mrs. Ana Jenson says: "She showed a tremendous drive but mostly It was that she started at the right At six Dylana was given a rare audition by violinist Jascha Heifetz, who lives In Los Angeles. He agreed that Dylana should learn In his master class but difficulties arose because Heifetz's instructors were opposed to the Suzuki method.

At seven Yehudi Menuhin heard her. Mrs. Jenson recalls that he dropped to his knees so that the could be at eye-level with the little girl as she played. At eight she played for David Olstrakh and Olstrakh introduced her to Hurok. After listening attentively as she played the Mendelsohn Concerto first movement he commented in German which Dylana could not understand: "At eight she is a great Dylana rises every day at eight and ia at school by nine for a half days schooling.

She practices two and a half hours each afternoon and has a two hour lesson six days a week. When she goes on tour she will be accompanied by a tutor. She is now preparing two of the most difficult works in the repertoire, the Tchaikovsky and Beethoven Concertos and hoped to have them ready for concert performance within two months BIZZARE ATTRACTION Dixmude, Belgium.

To Combat Hunger Columbus, Ohio (HKj Fixxl producers can continue to compete without forgetting they have five common enemies malnutrition, poverty, inefficiency, inflation, and pollution the National Livestock and Meat Hoard was told at its annual meeting here.

The reminder was voiced by James L. Hagle, president of Worthington Foods, of Worthington, Ohio, a pioneer in the development of meat substitutes based upon vegetable protein sources, but prepared in forms familiar to meat consumers Observing that the meat industry was not likely to take a position against "meatless like that of the dairy industry when margarine was introduced, Hagie cautioned: CORRECTION In Red Whites Grocery Ad Thursday, Round Steak Was Quoted At 1.39 Lb.

Our fight hi not with each other, even though admittedly we compete for a place on the He said both animal and vegetable protein will be needed to satisfy widespread hunger The deficit is now almost 2.5 million tons of animal protein each year, and it is expected to increase to 3.5 million tons in the An acre of land, he pointed out, can yield almost ten times as much vegetable protein as animal protein.

NUTRITIONALLY HIGH Worthington has been making vegetable-baaed "meatless for 30 years. Vegetarians provided the main market, but since a merger with Miles Laboratories hi 1970, the products have also been marketed to institutions, food processors, supermarkets and restaurants. No complaint has ever been received that any customer had been led to believe that her purchase was, in fact, a meat product. The products are now nutritionally high, he said, hut research continues to make them higher. The market now totals about $30 million annually, Hagle said, but according to the Stanford Institute it should soar to $1.5 billion to $2 billion in 1980.
