Colder Nearer Sun

The nearer we get to the sun,
the colder it gets. We cannot as yet
appreciably change the great dis
lance between ourselves and the
sun. But we can go up into
the air SO far that the atmosphere
is thinner-and since the air helps
transform the rays of the sun into
heat, it gets colder as we leave
the surface of the earth.

A VIEWPOINT

Ever since. we came to Hardin. we have heard
at one tine or another rather r~cgrrtful statements ir"''
local TEACHERS about lack of interest on the part Oh
parents.
Now We lave L chance to At least partially remedy
thi, stuatim. through the ITA. which is to be or
eanizvd here next "Wednesday. We urge again thai
cycrvon, interested in the welfare Of our schools or
Young people attend.
THIS week we want to present what seems to us
to be some we'll considered opinions of teachers on 4
Parcrt-lrachrrs association. Let us add right no"
that ncac Of these statements came from iiartln
teachers. We CLEANED most of them from Nebraska
teach, rs. a!i we know quite Il few of them, from both
small towns and cities.
Our typical p%edagogue points out as we dd once
before, that a PTA is no place for petty gr1pes' espe-
cially regarding discipline and grades.
Closely related to this is the fact that a RIA
should stay cat of any attempt to dictate policies for
school administration. Our average teacher points out
that all school personnel has special training for the
iob. Most OF the rest Of us don't. Those who are eX-
teachers have often been out of touch with the profess
sion for wears, and are not acquainted with some OF the
newer methods and detectives of education. Then too
whether YOU like it or not, there is a vast difference IN
the view point of the parent and the school admlnlstra-
tor or teacher.
The third point our typical teacher brought out
was that sometimes a T is just an additional burden
on the teaching staff. Teachers are frequently asked
to give programs and train their students to present
them. They are also appointed to many committees
that REQUIRE much outside work. Naturally, we want
to find out something about the way our schools func-
ton in order to cooperate with them more fully, but
we feel sure we can do this without placing too great
a burden upon the shoulders OF our teachers, most OF
whom have plenty to do as it is.
1t is strictly up to the men and women of this
community whether we will have a Parent-Teachers
association which will serve a useful function in the
community and will be of hell to our school system.

respect to a manslaughter verdict,
stating the evidence in the case
would not support such finding.
In his closing argument, Assistant

tunity to commit the murder and
told conflicting stories concerning

stantial case that's ever been in this

his client "home to her family for
Christmas"
Shortly before the defense rested
yesterday, Mrs. Harris, on the wit
ness stand, denied killing her hus-
band.
Mr.. Mclaughlin indicated, in
his questions to the defendant, that
he believes family quarrels led to
Mr.. Harris death. Mrs. Harris de-
MED there was any trouble. She
conceded she had lived for a time
apart from her husband and sale
she had discussed a radio given a
girl by her husband who explained
it was purchased for union men,

Dismissal Is Sought
By Murphy for 4 Of
Charges
Drunkenness on Duty
And Abusive Language
Claimed in Moher Report

Counsel for Fire Chief Clement
Murphy today sought dismissal
of the first of 13 formal charges
against him on the grounds that
the alleged acts occurred before
Chief Murphy was appointed to
his present position.
Attorney Martin F. ODonoghue,
reacting swiftly to formal announce
ment last night of ineff1ciency and
unftness charges against Chief
Murphy by Special Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Daniel B. Maher,
declared:
Il will file dismissal motions with
Mr.. Maher and the members Of the
special three-man trial board today
because any act performed before
Chief Murphy's appointment March
l, 1916, has no bearing on the case" "
The first four charges include
one that he required firemen to
help redecorate his home in June,
1945. If the dismisSals are granted,
accompanying charges would be
eliminated that Chief Murphy
caused false statements to be en-
tered in the Institutional Division
journal to the effect that firemen
were entered as present when
actually they were working at his
home.
Maneuvering Cited.
Pre- trial maneuvering during the
last few months centered around
efforts of Mr.. O'Donoghue to re-
strict the trial to the first l6 months
after Chief Murphy's appointment
and demands of the anti-Murphy
forces that there be no limitation
on scope of the trial,
The Commissioners first limited
the evidence to Chief Murphys in
cumbency, but later removed the re-
striction to permit unlimited investi-
CATION. Discretion as to what is ad-
missable evidence remains in the
hands of Mr.. Maher and members OF
