American system Of democracy and
to impart their devotion to these
ideals to their pupils"

tons annual convention, the Gov

professionally, In the teaching pro-
fession.. Other speakers included

Mentioning 4inroads being made
into established American inStitu-
tions by subversive forces" Gov
Tuck cautioned the 1000 teachers
and school ofiicials present ito be
ever on guard against the enemies
Of democracy. You, by Installing IN

you can do for your State, Nation

Liberalization Of the retirement
system and an attack on the prob
lem Of teacher recruitment through

aptitudes and provisions for summer

Mr.. Miller described the financial
situation as "by far the most i'm
portant single factor" in calling fol-
action to provide adequate salaries
for teachers.
In the third talk Of the session
Mr.. Kyle declared that ~in the flnal
analysis the people will find in the
schoolrooms exactly the kind Of
teachers they expected to find there
because their expectations, more
than any single factor. will deter
mine the kind Of young people who

Quoted in cooperation with the

The ninth question asked: when
do you consider it safe to pass an
other car in the city?"
Mrs. Treva Hopkins, secretary In

travelling on q narrow street. es-
peciaIly II another car were APP
Fproaching. Before passing, / would
also look on either side Of me TO see
Iif there are any other cars.

|perintendent Of police, said that he
would not pass another car at an

right Of the center Of the roadway,

Stock Market Uneven,
Turnover Is Smallest
In Two Years
By Victor Eubonk
. Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 26-The stoci.
market today went through the
+: slowest session of the past two years
and finished generally cloudy and
sluggish week with mild irregularity
persisting.
The ticker tape dozed throughout
the final proceedings. While scat
tered thin" issues got up point or
so, losses of as much were in evi-
dence at the close. Fractional
variations either way were the rule.
Transfers of 100000 shares compared
with 100000 last Saturday and were
q low since September is, 1914.
As during the entire week, brokers
attributed light selling to appre-
hension over labor disputes, high
lighted by threatened coal strike
and the move to reopen wage con-
tracts in the automotive industry.
Some buying was credited to a big
assortment of pleasing dividends and
earnings, Wall Street political opti-
mism and belief the list was due for
a rebound.
Eastman Kodak Gains.
Among the days gains on meager
transactions were Eastman Kodak,
up "a at 208; South Porto Rico
Sugar, 2h at 54; Fajardo Sugar, u
at 25&, and United States Rubber,
/ at Sly. Du Pont yielded 1a4 at
17OA, Allied Chemical IL at 1861
and American Telephone 7s at 1704s
Modest improvement was shown
for Chrysler, Sears Roebuck, United
Aircraft, Consolidated Edison,
Southern Railway, Baltimore g.
Ohio and Texas Co. On the off side
were United States Steel, Bethle-
hem, Goodyear, Southern Pacific,
Pennsylvania Railroad. Westing-
house and General Electric.
The Associated Press 60-stock
composite was unchanged at 62.3,
but on the week was down 06 of a
point net. OF 7O3 issues registering
on the day, 267 fell and 219 rose.
\ The weeks volume of 4,714,570
shares compared with 7,838,525 in
the preceding week and the smallest
for a 6-day stretch since the period
ended April 7, 1945. 1t was the first
week since mid-August without a
single million share session.
! Improve on Curb.
Curb advancers for the day were
Baldwin Rubber, Catalin and Pam
tepec Laggards were Gobel. Hum
mel-Ross and Raytheon. Turnover
here was 10000 shares versus 100000
and was a bottom since September
3, 1914.
Late buying of steels helped the
big board to tilt a shade higher Mon
day although numerous casualties
were present and transfers of 100000
shares was the smallest for full
session since August 26 Sentiment
was aided somewhat by recovery in
cotton and grain futures.
The list slipped on balance Tues
day with activity again slack al
though early losses running to 8
points or SO were reduced as COM
modities showed further improve
ment and reports were heard that
