English transcription: Insect-Borne Diseases. The people who live in the district around Sabzevar, about 400 miles from Teheran in Iran, have plenty of experiences of diseases that are carried by insects. Many of them suffer repeatedly from malaria, carried by anopheles mosquitoes. Trachoma, a painful eye disease, is all too common, especially among children, and it is carried, at least to some extent, by flies. Then, there are relapsing fever carried by ticks, and leishmaniasis, transmitted by sandflies. There is also typhus, carried by the body louse. Since 1954, a WHO-team, at the request of the Iran government, have been carrying out a project in the area against insect-borne diseases. Donkeys loaded with water urns are the only traffic the team encounters on the lonely roads through the Persian highlands.
Description: A vast, mountainous landscape, bereft of any vegetation. Three white donkeys, trudging up a dirt road, each laden down wth dozens of earthen water jugs contained in netting made of knotted rope. A man leading them, wearing a white turban and loose dark garment, carrying a long stick.
Location: Sabzevar, District of.

English transcription: Work is progressing rapidly on construction of the Nagoya-Kobe Expressway which is scheduled to be the first four-lane, divided, limited access highway in Japan. The new highway is being built by the Nihon Doro Kodan (Japan Highway Public Corporation), a government corporation responsible for the construction, operation and maintenance of toll roads and related facilities. The International Bank has, so far, loaned US$80 million to help finance work on the 115-mile highway. Here, technicians test samples of different types of asphalts in the Yamashina (Kyoto) laboratory of the Nihon Doro Kodan.
Description: Two women wearing scrubs are in front of two pans. One of them holds a sort of stick dipped in a pan. In the background, a blackboard with mathematics formulas.

English transcription: Established with the main objective of developing research in meteorology, hydrology and related sciences in order to promote effective use of water and other natural resources, Mexico's Institute of Applied Science now functions in a building with excellent laboratory and classroom installations which was made available by the University of Mexico in 1956. UNESCO, which has been actively participating in the Institute's programme, has provided the services of fives experts, equipment valued at $30.000 US and three fellowships for Mexican technicians. Here, Engineer Adolfo Arenal, a research worker at the Institute, is seen working with a Campbell Stokes heliograph intergrating actiometer in the Section of Atmospheric Physics.

English transcription: European Organization for Nuclear Research. Twelve nations are members of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), a new organization set up under UNESCO sponsorship to aid the co-operation between separate research centers in the field of nuclear theory. The CERN program is concentrated on two big machines, a synchro-cyclotron and a proton-synchrotron, now under construction at the CERN laboratory site near Geneva. The synchro-cyclotron is designed to reach energy levels of 25 thousand million electron volts, or over; in this machine the protons will move inside a vacuum chamber along a circular path formed by an electro-magnet with a diameter of 200 metres and a weight of about 3,500 tons; the protons will be accelerated to a speed approaching that of light. Shown here is some of the general laboratoty equipment used in designing and experimenting with the linear accelerator of the proton-synchrotron.
Description: Three men surrounded by equipment like control panels. They are wearing gown. They are working on a control panel.

English transcription: European Organization for Nuclear Research. Twelve nations are members of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), a new organization set up under UNESCO sponsorship to aid the co-operation between separate research centers in the field of nuclear theory. The CERN program is concentrated on two big machines, a synchro-cyclotron and a proton-synchrotron, now under construction at the CERN laboratory site near Geneva. The synchro-cyclotron is designed to work at the 600 million electron volts energy level; it consists of a vacuum chamber between the circular poles of a 2,500 tons electro-magnet. Protons are injected in this chamber and accelerated along a spiral path by high frequency electrical forces until they reach speeds approaching 250,000 km. per second. This picture shows the heat-exchangers of the water cooling system of the synchro-cyclotron.
Description: Equipment with pipes, valve handwheels, control panels.
Location: Geneva.

English transcription: View of the Central Water and Power Research Station, at Poona, India. A UNESCO specialist in photo-elastic studies has developed research programmes, assessed the equipment needs of the photo-elastic laboratory, and trained the research staff. A navigation research specialist has also been engaged in training activities, and has prepared plans for testing ship models in the experimental navigation tank. Research has been completed on a model reproducing tidal conditions in Cochin Harbour, where shipping has been hampered by silt; and the expert's experiments have proved that by damming one channel, the tide could be directed to carry off this silt. Cochin is now building the dam which is expected to save the equivalent of some $200,000 a year in dredging costs. (Photo-elastic studies enable engineers to determine the amount of stress a structure can bear; Indian scientists are particularly concerned with problems of testing stresses in the building of dams and other structures needed for hydro-electric projects.).

English transcription: Sharing skills (U.N. Technical assistance). The basis of all human progress is education: elementary education to teach the young how to read and write and calculate; fundamental education to help young and adults to master their environment; technichal or advanced education to train the engineers, teachers and administrators. In all these fields, the United Nations Education and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) are helping underdeveloped countries to advance as rapidly as possible. H These youngsters, in Bolivia, study outdoors while awaiting the completion of a new school building. Bolivia has 2000 lower schools and three universities.
