I. LIVE STOCK BREEDING AND AGRICULTURE TO THE FORE IN JACOBABAD

I. LIVE STOCK BREEDING AND AGRICULTURE TO THE FORE IN JACOBABAD - You either know about horses or you don't. But if you're in Jacobabad around horse show time, you pretend to know, even if ten-pegging like this merely seems to you an elaborate way of breaking your neck, or if you watch jumping purely for the fun of seeing people fall off their horses. When it comes to the actual horse parade, the ignorant had better go off to the refreshment tent. A good judge of a horse is born, not made. Although you don't have to be born in a stable to see that this is a fine animal. With sheep it's easy, you just feel their coats, and every lamb is, of course, a little darling. Ploughing is easier still. A straight furrow is straight to anybody, although it needs years of ploughing to learn how to make one. Here's the winning team, as clean cut in looks as in their ploughing.

II. ANIMAL TRAINING IS THIRSTY WORK

II. ANIMAL TRAINING IS THIRSTY WORK - Hints on how to tackle tigers. First hint: keep your face fully turned towards the tiger. If the tiger doesn't drop down dead from shock, wave a stick. Hint two: keep still. Let the tiger do the walking around. May be his feet will begin to hurt him. Hint three: when talking to tigers to firm; be kind; speak distinctly. Remember he is only a great big kitten at heart. Hint four: If at first you don't succeed, don't be discouraged. Rome was not built in a day. Explain this to the tiger. And that reminds me of another useful hint. When you drink water, do not merely sip it. Drink deep. Observe the trainer. With a little practice, quenching your thirst can be turned into a social asset, enormously increasing your popularity. For instance, seated on a pedestal and placed in the garden, you can be a gay, sparkling fountain. Or mounted on wheels, you can be rushed to burning houses and helpfully put them out. While after parties in which alcohol is served you may gracefully return your hosts hospitality in a jug.

III. H H THE AGA KHAN. ISMAILIS CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY

III. H H THE AGA KHAN. ISMAILIS CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY - These are Ismailis - the people of the Aga Khan, who is their spiritual head. Twenty thousand of them came together recently to celebrate their ruler's birthday. Prince Ali Khan received the community's good wishes on his father's behalf, and then apparently noticing the large gathering of women he advised his people to get busy founding nursery schools. It was practical speech, without fireworks. They came in the evening.

IV. HARNESSING THE HIMALAYAS FOR IRRIGATION AND POWER

IV. HARNESSING THE HIMALAYAS FOR IRRIGATION AND POWER - They're going off to find a place to build a dam in the Himalayas. From the layman's point of view it seems that almost anywhere you built a wall in the Himalayas would be a good place, but Mr Savage, an American expert knows better. He's picked the Chakrata bills, one of the points about a dam being its accessibility to engineers. Heaven help the engineers if they have to travel like this. Mr Savage found his spot and this is what he saw when he looked around from it. Irrigation adviser to the Government of India, Sir William Stampe went with him, and together they studied the river they proposed to block. Next came an inspection of the surrounding countryside, and then, satisfied, another look at the river. It certainly doesn't look worth the trouble of building a dam, but the experts prophesy that this project is going to loom large in India's future. Let's go down with the party and take a closer look at the river. The only method of getting across at present is an inflated buffalo skin. While local villagers are as yet innocent of the upheaval that's being planned in their simply lives. A final look round and the party return to camp. It's a long way down to base camp, but once there, the dam begins to grow on paper, and in unemotional little conferences round a camp table, a huge new source of wealth is given to our country.

V. ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE TROOPS. RAM COPAL ON TOUR

V. ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE TROOPS RAM GOPAL ON TOUR - From the silk and glitter of dressing rooms in London and new York to a mirror propped on a box by a tent. From red velvet curtains and magical settings to the sharp reality of a dismantled Catalina. From those things to these Ram Gopal has travelled, but keeping his dancing, pure, classic, intact. He's toured the encampments, relieving the troops from the boredom that comes from mechanical war. The liquid and stealthy play of his muscles builds stage, lights and scenery out of plain sunlight and rhythm. The ripple of his arms in such a place is likely a melody heard among barren rocks. His gestures are a ladder of escape, for men like these. Now a story, Siva danced in Kailash, with the gods watching, on a February morning. Taking music, taking rhythm, taking the step and inter-step, he bent them into a tremendous dance, this same step, this same gesture, till earth shook, sky shook, that day in Kailash, on a February morning. And by Ram Gopal's skill, on this day too, Siva danced again, with soldiers watching, on a February morning. Footsteps to follow out of space, out of time, out of the morning of the day of the fifth year of war, to that other morning in Kailash, when Siva danced, in the mountains. That is the story that Ram Gopal told on a stage of two wooden boxes in front of a dismantled Catalina.
