VisitTo Siam Reveals Nation

By JAMES A. AUMAN,
As a school boy in Piedmont
North ' Carolina no place ' on

to me as did Siam, t is, in fact,
on almost the exact opposite side
qf the earth, but it is no longer
.remote; thus it was, that -on
August 6, 1960, our World Sem
inar group found ourselves land
ing in Bangkok, the capital city
of .that ancient kingdom of Siam,
which changed its name to Thai
land in 1939 in order to embrace
all the Thai people living in
neighboring countries.'
Bangkok has in recent years
become the Geneva ,of the Far
East. Many of the -.'world or
ganizations, SEATO . and Vhe
United Nations included, have
their .. Far East - headquarter!
here. Since 1954, thii city has
offered military bases to the non
Communist nations to be used
to help check Communist expan
sion in Asia.'
This country is, in' the heart of
the great Southeast Asian Pen
insula and was long known as
Siam. It has magnificent Bcen
ery great fertility and the vry
unique distinction of never liav
ing ibeen a colony. . Its people
are proud of their long national
heiitage as a "free people."1-The

The hew item is a radar tim-
ing device which is the latest
development for recording speed

which'require two patrolmen for
