CUMBERLAND, Md. On a
wooded mountain top near this
western Maryland community,
73-year-old Owen Al. Slider is
busy working at a strange task
he's hewing his own tombstone
out Of piece of flint like stone.
So far, Slider, who with sew
eral inches of long white beard
flowing over his shoulders looks
like something out of fairy
story, has his name, the date of
his birth, and the word died
cut deeply in the stone.
He is still undecided whether
to put the date of his death on
the stone or leave that job for
someone else.
If I decide to put that death
date on myself, " he said, Pm
going to make it Christmas Day,
1868. I'll be merely 95.'
The stone slab Slider has
picked for his monument is
across the road from his 110-year-
old log cabin, built by his
grandfather in 1886.
However, he explained that he
kept up with world affairs and
had his ideas about world prob
lens. He declared:
TOO much hurry! That's the
trouble with the country today"

HAVEN'T WE ENoUcH7

We once heard of q com
munity in the mountains of
eastern Kentucky whore, it
was said, the inhabitants
made their living by taking
in one another's Washing.
This little story occurred
to us Saturday " he ii we
read on page one of The
Citizen that City Commits
sioners had received appli-
cations for six new beer and
Wine licenses, Is retail Ii
quOr licenses, four package
store and two wholesale
liquor licenses.
After reading this we
wondered If the time is not
close at hand when Key
Westers might be accused of
making their living by SELL
ing one another liquor.
Put a roof over Key
West, and with the addition
of a few more liquor estab-
lishments, you would have
one big bar room" a citizen
asserted Saturday after
heading the story referred
to above.
Naturally, one question
that is uppermost in the
minds ola good many peo-
pie at this time is, does not

enough liquor establish
ments? Has the time not.
come to cease issuing per-
mits of any sort? The Citi-
zen would be the last to wish
to prevent any person from
making living in any legiti-
mate business he chooses,
but right now we cannot
help but wonder if, for the
good of all the people, and
for the good of the city as a
whole, the time has not ar
rived for drastic limitations
on the issuance of liquor
permits.

TEACHERS AND RIGHTS

Many communities deny
to their teachers the elemen-
tary rights of a human being
the right to privacy. the
right to live a normal social
life without silly inhibitions,
the right to her own spare
time, and the right to her
own religion and politics,
declares the Charlotte IN.
CO Observer.
There is much truth in the
statement quoted. In many
school districts the rights of
teachers, as specified in the
quotation, depend upon the
views" Of trustees who are
sometimes woefully lacking
in education themselves and
also determined to permit
nothing like free thought,
which means anything they
do not understand and APP
prove.
While teachers can hard
III expect the privacy TIL a I
surrounds the lives of those
who do not occupy public
and semi-public positions,
they are undoubtedly en-
titled to live normal social
lives, without censorship
and outside interference.
Nevertheless, the influence
of a teacher, upon which her
success largely depends, is
based, in part, at least, up
on something like conform
ance to the customs, sane
tions and modes of the COM
munity where she tolls.
1t is a fact that m a ny
communities expect a teach
er to give literally of his, or
her, spare time to the adj
vancement of various COM
n1unity projects, which the
local promoters are unwill-
ing to advance by their own
labor. This extra work can
easily become burdensome
but, just the same, a teacher
becomes a part of the COM
munity and, as a good citi-
zen, might as we'll make a
contribution to the advance
ment of the area. That this
should be voluntary, as is
the case with other citizens,
goes without saying.
The right to her own
religion and politics. guar
anteed un d er m Cd ernI
regimes, raises a question
that is often misunderstood.
Nobody can defend the idea
that a teacher is not entitled
to her own religion and poll
tics but, very often, the is
sue is whether these views !
affect her ability to perform |
the work of a teacher.
For example, we doubt if |
4 confirmed Buddhist, or
Mohammedan, would be-
without difficulties, as a
teacher, except in communi-
ties W here these religions /
are generally accepted. Yet. |
no one would deny to any |
Individual the right to be a
Buddhist or a Mohammedan
BY questioning the suitable /
ty and practicability of en-
ploying such a person to-
serve a class entirely COM
posed of, let us say, Catholic

CONGRATULATIONS,
COMMISSIONER
CARBONELl.!

A hearty handshake and
d pat on the back for Louis
Carbonell, successful in his
race yesterday for city COM
missioner.
Of one thing residents
may be spre, no other per
son is a greater Key West
booster than is Carbonell,
whether he is here, there or
anywhere else.
Meet him in Miami or
New York or in any other
city outside of Key West,
and he is as dernonstrative
about his hometown as he Is
at his place of business on
Duval street.
The Citizen believes that
he will do whatever Is in his
power to promote the inter-
ests of this community.
When d question comes up
before the commission. he
will try to decide it from q
Key West angle. Mistakes
he may make, as everybody
else does, but all in all ne
will work to attain progress
for his hometown. He will
keep his eye on the expendi-
ture of the taxpayers mon
ey and, we believe. will op-
pose experimenting WI t h
newfangled ideas where IT
means risking city funds.
Congratulations, Commits
stoned Carbonell!
