Methods Of Pasteurization
Two methods of pasteurizatIon
arg used commercially, the holding
and the short-tine high temperature
methods. The first is done by
heating the milk to 143 to l45 de-
grees F. and holding at this temporal
ture for 80 minutes. The second
method. which is accepted by moi-
authorities. consists of heating the
milk to ISL to l62 degrees F. and
holding for 10 seconds. This method

Activities


Scores of women in Laurel have
recently become eligible to member
ship in the American Legion Aux
iliary and many more will become
eligible as soon as the veterans in
their families join the American
Legion, said Mrs. R. o. Steele and
Mrs. R. B. Packard, membership
chairmen of the Laurel unit, in *
planning the new eligibility rules to
the units membership workers.
Four classifications of women
now eligible were described by Mrs.
| Steele and Mrs. Packard as follows:
l. Mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters of members of the Amer
lean Legion.
2. Mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters of persons who lost their
lives in either World War l or
World War II.
8. Mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters of veterans of either war
who have died since honorable dis
charge from war service.
q. Women who themselves were
enrolled in the armed forces in
either war.
Women of families with men
still in the service are eligible if
the service mar has Joined the
American Legion. All members of
the armed forces became eligible
to the Legion upon the surrender
of Japan and many have enrolled,
or their families have sent them
a gift membership, in advance of
their return home. If the service
man has not yet become a Legion
member, the women of his family
are not yet eligible to the Auxiliary.
The same condition applies to the
mothers, wives, sisters and daugh-
ters of returned veterans. They
become eligible to the Auxiliary
when the veteran joins the Legion,
but not before.
The American Legion Auxiliary
will hold their social meeting in
the home of Mrs. r. B. Packard, 1

Past Year Made New
Record In Marriages

Continued from Page One)
1916. Probate cases filed last year
were 272 while in the year pre-
ceding they were 225.
Naturalized petitions dropped
one-half, going from A to %.
Clerk Davies said she thought the
cause was that most of the aliens
in Yellowstone county have become
citizens.
Previous high years for marriage
licenses were 1920 when 379 were
issued, in 1910 with TIC and 1871
with 804. None of the years
reached the record of 1915 when 942
couples were given licenses to
marry. December was the highest
single month in the year with 119
licenses, exceeding the highest pre-
vious month of any year, which was
June 1885 when 115 were issued.
The 1885 figure was attributed to
the "gin marriage" law which be-
came effective July 1, 1885, and
was repealed 60 days later.

Bunker Hill and served on WASH
lingtori's staff.
Checked Retreat.
Terse family records tell of his
being in charge of munitions wagons
moving toward a battle front. Sud-
denly he met up with Continental
troops in retreat because of lack of
powder for their muskets. Without
further ado, Gideon Foster halted
the retreat and filled their hats and
their pockets with gun powder. Then
he led the victorious assault, without
| the loss OF single man.
"The slender pewter band which
Iartistically rims the base and upper

friend and intimate, Paul Revere"
according to Mrs. Ray. Gen. Foster,
la great-great-great-uncle of Mr..
Ray, followed a plow with ease at
95, and harnessed his own horse
to drive to church on Sundays"
Flanked by two old brass candle
sticks on the "punkin" pine writing
desk is another historic pitcher. OF
majolica ware with different sets of
raised figures on either side of its
| glazed surfaces, 1t goes back to 1882.
| It's story is one OF love at first sight
and Of happy marriage which fol-
lowed. Mrs. Rays great-great-grand-
mother, Nancy Porter, who lived in
Abingdon, Mass, saw 1t on store
shelf when she was 8 years old.
She looked at it with such longing
that Thomas Wilkes, 18-year-old son
of the stores proprietor, gave it to
her. Then, when she was 18, they
were married. With her treasured
pitcher, the brass candlesticks and
the "punkin" pine desk, the pref
tiest bride in the township and the
devoted bridegroom set UP house
keeping. Exquisitely lovely is her
ruby red scent bottle. which Is also

to which these arrests point was in
volved in the decision to maintain
secrecy in the realm of vital military
significance. 1t flows directly from the
implication-some complacent implica-
tion-that the secret" was a sacred
trusteeship which the three powers con-
cerned hoped to hold on behalf of man
kind until they thought it wise to release
the secret
That decision was bound to have an
evil effect on international relations.
That evil is never likely to be diminished
by the knowledge that the United States
has a considerable stock of atomic
bombs and is ceaselessly engaged in re-
search to make the bombs still deadlier.
The decision is bound to be regarded
as contingent threat by any consider
able power excluded from knowledge of
the secret.
More than this, whatever the Atomic
Commission of. the UNO may report re-
garding safeguards, the attitude of the
Security Council to its report will in

relations at the time the report is made.
My own guess is that the longer this
report is deferred, the deeper will be
the suspicious and these in turn will
worsen international relations.
Looking back over the months since
hostilities ceased, think there is even
more to be said now for Wilson's "open
covenants" openly arrived at. It is q
dangerous thing to make international
politics an immense melodrama in which
ordinary folks are nothing more than
spectators who can only guess the out
come of it. Formerly friendly. they then
get sense of deep insecurity, affecting
the nerves and temperaments of the
chief actors in the play. That has been
evident in tragic fashion in the febrile,
angry debates in the Security Council.
It doesn't help to have the chief
actors go home with the barely con-
cealed determination to make the next
act even more melodramatic than the
one we have Just witnessed.

urban schools vas $l04, while in rural

localities.
Schools in many of the Southern
States remain poor even though heavy
tax burdens are imposed for school
purposes. In 1914 the average per cap
ita income in Mississippi was 1923.
while in New York 1t was $1,519; yet
Mississippi taxpayers paid 341 per cent
of their income on education, while New
York citizens spent only 26l per cent.
The situation in the South was summed
up before the Senate Committee on Ed
ucation and Labor last year by Presi-
dent Frank Graham of the University
of North Carolina. The Southern
States, he pointed out, contain % per
cent OF the population of the country.

the Nation, but receive only per cent

Need Greatest Where Least Provided.
In report to the American Council
on Education called Equal Educational
Opportunity for YOUTH" Newton Ed
wards of the University of Chicago,
after survey and study, arrived at this
disheartening generic conclusion:
"In communities where the burden of
child care and education is light; where
economic resources are most abundant,
and where the cultural and intellectual
status Of parents is high, we support ed
ucation literally. In communities
where the birth rate Is high and the
economically productive age group is
carrying a disproportionately heavy
child population, where income per
child Is far, far below the national
norm; where the plane of living is low;
where the cultural heritage is the poor
est, and where the home has least to
contribute to cultural and intellectual
growth, We support education niggardly."
In other words, where the need is
greatest the facilities are poorest This
constitutes lack of educational bal
ance that affects the whole Nation, for
every census since 1850 has found more
than 20 per cent of the native-born
population residing in States other than
those in which they were born. 1t is an
understatement to say that the chain of
learning in the United States has more
than one weak link.
What of teachers salaries and the
teacher shortage?. Willard E. Givens,
executive secretary of the National Edll-
cation Association, said last September
Evening star., 1946-02-24

that fully one-third of the teachers OF
this country are now working for a SAL
ary which is substantially less than the
wages the Federal Government pays the
women who scrub the floors and polish
the furniture of it's Offices in the Nations
Capital"
Low Salaries Prevalent.
Inadequate salaries, he observed, were
seriously undermining the quality of ed
ucational opportunity at time when
the Nation urgently needs the highest
grade of teaching service In the expert
opinion Of Benjamin w. Frazier, senior
specialist in teacher training of the
Office of Education in Washington, low
salaries, in comparison with wartime
and postwar salaries in other occupa-
tions, undoubtedly accounted for the loss
Of more teachers than any other single
cause. including the call to the armed
services.
Early last year the National Education
Association reported that one teacher in
f1ve was being paid less than $1,000 for
years work. Although Federal SAL
1899 and 1s45, and industrial salaries
IS per cent dncluding overtime), the
average salary of teachers rose only IS
per cent.
The prewar teaching force at ele-
mentay and secondary schools num-
bered about 100000. Substitute teach
ers totaled fewer than 5000. During
the war years more than $4,000 expert
enced teachers left these schools. Many
vacancies remained untitled. About 75,-
600 were filled by insuficiently trained
substitutes. Small schools were con-
solidated and by early 1945 there were
1900 fewer classrooms.
The end of the war has not alleyiated
materially the teacher shortage. In
diana has lost more than $4,000 teach
ers since 1941. Georgia today has 5000
vacancies on its teaching roster and
3,343 emergency teachers. Iowa has
closed 500 schools. In California 10000
emergency teaching certificates have
been issued. Colorado has been forced
to close 500 schools and has issued 1000
emergency certificates. Alabama has
5,809 emergency teachers. Virginia has
1923 and needs 1000 more.
Sees Worst Teacher Shortage.
In Arkansas last fall Education Com
missioner Ralph B. Jones forecast 'the
worst teacher shortage in the States
history" In the District of Columbia

relations. Is the present tension on the
surface only or does it go down to those
vital interests" the safeguarding of
which is the supreme priority in ma
tional policy? If it is the first, we must
hope that the British government will
seek to arrest the present drift which
permeates the whole atmosphere of for
eign relations.
e If 1t is the second, We ought to be told
what those vital interests are. If they
are oil-Persian, Iranian or any other
kind Of oil think that the normal
British reaction would be that the safe
guarding of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.,
or any other of those giant corporations
whose activities are so influential in
their impact on foreign policy, could not
be worth the jeopardy it causes in the
development of foundations upon which
the peace of the world depends.
If they are strategic, whether from the
Russian or the British side, it is time we
are told what the interests are for which
these antithetic strategists are so deeply
concerned. don't think that Andrei
Vishinsky was model of helpfulness
in the Security Council. But think
Ernest Bevin might have added to the
decisive dialectical victories he won so
easily if he had explained the motives
making him so obviously angry over the
Russian objectives he so clearly regards
as dangerous.
I think even more that Vishinsky, and
even the Kremlin itself, should tell us
simply and forthrightly at what point of
extension of the Russian sphere of influ-
ence it believes it will have reached the
haven of safety.
We cannot go on with this irritated
pickering. 1t is spreading poison and in
fecting every other problem which has
to be considered. The time factor is be-
coming increasingly urgent as an ele-
ment In the negotiations for peace.
In Canada the espionage arrests took
place amid an almost overwhelming tor
rent Of rumors. One thing at least we
can affirm most strongly. The situation
