These Learned Their A 6 C s - Quickly

At 2325 GMT on Sunday our photographer found Saud binSaleh (L) of Hail, and Abdullah bin Sa'adan of Riyadh busy sending teletype messages a t Dhahran's Trafflc Control Offlce. Pr ior to their employment with Aramco in May, 1952, neither hadany knowledge of English, yet in less than 15 months they mastered the alphabet, while practicing touch typing --plus their attendance at the Dhahran Training Division. The result is: today they a r e capable of sendingand receiving teletype messages a t the Traffic Office. under the supervision of Mrs. Denny (Helen) Nixon. Their speed for sending message6 a t present is around 45 words a minute. Soon additional teletype machines will be installed and messages sent to al l Distrxcts, the Airport, and Dammam. and received by Saud and Abdullah, and two other young Saudis (not pictured): Ali bin Hassan, and Saud Rashid, both of A1 Khobar. And in training right now a r e Abdul Aziz. Faiaal Hafiz. A s n Ali, and Muhammad Abdullah.

VITAL COMMENTS .. . .Seven babies in one week,"stotd one Aramcon. .Why, that'saboby a day -- could even be 365 o ywrl" Well, no, not here -yet. But babies are definitely on the in- crease, and if our crystal boll is crystalizing,before the yeor is out it couldbewellateve the total of 134 babies born to Aramcons during 1952.

Inany baby marathon people are olways interated, it seems, in knowing whether bop are leading girls, for on one hinges something or other about the hunan race. So for this yearnthe girls hove o lead which they couldeasily lose in the coming months. For l952the girls only outnumbered the bays by two, whereas in 1951 when 97 babiu were born the boys outnumbered the girls by 13 fore total of 55 future drillers, accountonh, or whatever field the future Aram- cons may develop into.

Further on babies, we learned this bit of information fmm the Dhahran Health Center: In 1950

the Center registered 99 babiar bwn to Saudi Arabs and others. The total for I951 was I%, and 311 in 1952. For the year 1953 so far the record states 425 babies were born at the Center.

ARAMCO'S FIRST.. . An "old timer" tells ur the fint Aroma baby wm born in Dhahron to Beatrice and Arthur G. Kessinger, on August 8, 1940. A gola affair, so the story gees, was kicked up to mark the arrival of this wn, John R. Kessinger.The Kessinger fcinily at present are on long vacation, due to return to the field on October 14, when Arthur resumes his duties with Exploration, and John, his brother Ronald, and sisters le t t iead Ethel will join the ranks of the youngsters attending xhool in Dhahran.

All this dlgging for vital statis- tics was brought about by the fint comment above, coupled with the fact that beforexhwl started w l y this month we heard hammers o-

Five babies were born in 1947; and next year, no doubt, will sea a good portion of the 23 babies born in 1948 going through that great day (to o youngster) to ottend xhool for the fint time.

The new Flwr brsach is fast get- int0 ehnpc. and may w a l l pose a serirnr. threat to the older teams in the league before thie aerie8 i e decided. Their new south- paw pircher. Scolary, gave the Refiners a bad time all the way, and with a 1iMle better backing he might well have taken the game by a comfw- table margin. As it war, tka game was tied up at 5-all in the battom of the sixth.
