When the occasion calls for celebrations at Gomia, in the Indian state of Bihar, Scottish reels sometimes alternate with stately classical dances. For this remote tract of jungle, where leopards prowl and the summer shade temperature reaches a shimmering no°F., contains India’s first blasting explosives factory — designed and set in operation by experts from I.C.I.’s explosives factories in Scotland, who have helped to train the Indian operatives. The factory provides India with the explosives she needs to blast tunnels and harbours out of solid rock, to excavate reservoirs and to win coal, iron ore and gold from the earth. Built by I.C.I. in partnership with the Government of India, it is the latest expression of a policy that has already fostered the production of blasting explosives in Africa, to serve the great goldfields; in Australia to provide the blasting power for mineral mining and ambitious hydro-electric schemes ; in Canada to make possible such projects as the St. Lawrence Seaway. I.C.I. technicians with a lifetime’s experience of explosives manufacture are playing a notable part in a world where the power of industrial explosives can open up new vistas of prosperity.

“ Leeds University Theatre Group dims at fostering an interest in all the arts of the living theatre, but above all it seeks to stimulate an eager and vital concern for the classics and those modern plays which it feels to be of importance.” PLAYS AND PLAYERS In accord with this, the Group’s production this term is Shakespeare’s “ Measure for Measure.” This is one of his lesser known, and even more rarely per­ formed plays, dealing with the nature of justice and its relation to sexual morality. The play is the Leeds entry for the Sunday Times- N.U.S. Drama Festival, to be held at Loughborough next January. Theatre Group has an unrivalled record in this Qj d important national competition, being the outright winners with John Arden’s “ Sergeant Musgrave’s D a nce ” in 1961, and having reached the finals more times than any other single group.
