AG TEACHERS
SPEND VEEKllN
CONFERENCE
Annual Gathering Is for.
Benefit Of Those They
Work for
By J. F. coRBIN
HIS. Vocational Ag Instructor

The Henderson Pennsylvania
county group along with the other
vocational agriculture teachers
from the entire state spent last
week in conference at Lake Juna-
luska. Each year just after
schools close all these teachers to-
eether with the supervisory stall
from Raleigh are called together
TO take an inventory OF to cheek
nm ON what has been done ana
set plans for another year, ms
state conference is in addition 10
one or more district meetings ana
a monthly meeting by each group
These conferences are extra "
the many meetings with the feSu-
lar teachers in their respective
schools. Some one might say, why
all these meetings with a group
Of men that are supposed to be
prepared before they start! Inc
answer is this: Education is a SLOW
process and is never complete.
Habits must be formed with sucn
deep impressions that they Will
carry over to the communities
where the teachers came.
These conferences are largely
made up of the teachers telling
how they did some job and the re-
suits in the community. The meet
ings are an open forum and every
plan presented is open for conf
mendation or criticism from 4OO
men present who are attempting
to do the same job but in dli-
ferent way. On the whole this is
q fine bunch of serious, hard
working men about 100 OF whom
have had 10 or more years eXper-
fence in their particular field. In
addition to the experience of the
teachers and the staff there are
ALWAYS one or moro addresses per
dav by state and national men
who are experts in their particular
field. The purpose Of the confer
cnce is not for the teachers per
soral benefit but how he may be-
come more efficient in serving his
community and making life worth
more to the people with whom he
works.

By STUART CAMERON

DENVER. Colo. June =. lCFl
Tall tales of beavers ml!e-nig"
altitude and its effect on golfers
and Golf scores brought a recorN
early arrival yesterday OF contest
ontS To the scene of the 42nd an
nnaI United States Open cham
pionShip. Joaoao
all of the name" players were at
the tourney scene as much as
three DAYS prior to play. Many
of them. including defending
cbompion Ralph Guldahl, have
been here for days and have put
in a half dozen practice rounds
over the Cherry Hills layout.
More than score of the top
Fighters, among them former
champion Gene Sarazen, the Con-
necticut squire, and COLTS tradi-
tional hard luck guy, Harry Coop
er of Chicago. got IN their MIST
licks yesterday. -.
Incidentally, the mile-high altr-
tude'S effect on the human BODY
is no myth. Sarazen belted out a
couple of sacks of practice balls
then sat down to rest awhile.
Climates got me, ne said, but
soon he was out for nlne-hole
test.
One of the tourney favorites,
Johnny Revolta of Chicago has
hand infection as result of a cut
which will keep him out of action
until Wednesday at least.
SouawkS from some OF the
earlv-arriving pros were Silenced
Yesterday by the tournament COM
mittec of the L. s. Golf ASSocia-
tion. Some of The PLAYERS said the
rough was unfairly high. AFTER
an official inspection tour. the
committee ordered the home pro-
ressional. Harold Long, to leave
the course "aS is" except to widen
the opening TO the third green.
GulGahl had made 4 mild "beef
about the height Of IN" grass BACK
of some of the greens on the
rourse, He said ne thought that
because of the relatively small
size of the greens on a Champion
ship course the tall grass back OF
them formed an unfair handicap.
"Rut | guess the grass Is as
ton for one guy as another" Gull
dahl concluded. And after all
that's a minor criticism Of a grand
championship layout. I'm for all
high grass off the fairwayS. II
PLAYER doesn't keep his shots IN

Guldahl was asked if ne felt
that defense of the title constr
tuted an additional handicap.
"Why should it, ne asked.
"After all. | think the burden Is

might have won it, but never have
broken through. | made a sue

If Guldahl is right it will be the
first time since 1880 that a cham

the surrounding neigthborhood
from the bareheaded urchin to
county Commissioner E. I. Roe
and Chief Justice Smith of Cor
dova- all took an active and per-
sonal interest in the shipment of
those sheep. Early in the fray,
just as the frightened sheep were
huddled in front of the narrow
platform which led to the open
car, a rabbit jumped up, and as it
darted by narrowly missing the
savage kick of Chief Justice Smith,
the whole crowd let the sheep go
and chased his Hareship to the
woods some distance away. Again
the sheep were brought up to close
quarters in front of the car, but an
active, pernicious, high tempered
ram shot high into the air and as
/ it sailed directly over Judge Rus
SONS glossy black beaver that
gentleman ducked his head and
calculated gentlemen of the jury
may it please your honor" and at
once retreated to the passenger car
to wipe the mud from his hat and
file a demurrer. The other sheep
! followed the example of their lead
er and were tearing away over a
twenty acre field. Again and again
they were brought up to close
quarters, but each time the un-
domesticated rams would jump
high over the heads of their tor
mentors, and would be followed by
the whole flock. Once forbearance
was made to run the sheep down
and catch 'em" single handed. In
this every one made dismal fail
ure excepting County Commission
er Roe and ''Pawnee" Cyclone.
They both caught a sheep and
through these two decoys, succeed
ed in getting the remainder of the
sheep on the cars. Just at this ex-
citing period another rabbit was
seen and in the chase which fol-
lowed Pawnee Cyclone was again
the hero for he caught that rabbit
and carried it on the train, where
it was conveyed to the wigwam
near Cordova, where, with dog
meat, owl eggs and cheese, those
red beggars had a sumptuous re-
past. If the delayed passengers on
the Delaware Division would know
why they waited an hour at Clay
ton for the Chesapeake Division
train to make connection, they will
be informed by calling upon Judge
Russom of Denton, E. T. Roe, of

and Conductor Johnson of the rail-
way service.

While more women than men are
victims of tuberculosis up to 80
years of age, the toll among men
40 to 65 years of age is approx
mately twice that among women of
the same age. Medical authorities
emphasize the Importance of parents
being free from tuberculosis in
order to reduce the danger of infect
ing their children. The anti-tubercu-
losis movement receives its main
support from Christmas Seals.
Smyrna times., 1938-12-08

Young girls are particularly sus-
ceptible to tuberculosis. Intensive
efforts, financed by Christmas Seals,
are directed toward turning back
the threat of this disease from young
people. Many schools and colleges
throughout the country recommend
tuberculin testing and X-raying to
discover whether or not their stu
dents have tuberculosis. Out of 200
persons who die every day from
tuberculosis in the United States, 80
are between the ages Of Is and 25.
