KAY KYSER'S DENIAL

Variety, the show worlds top publica-

having sponsor trouble stemming from
his anxiety 10 get his campaign started
for Governor Of North Carolina, which has
been in his Craw for sometime" He LOST

his denial. A c%olorful personality who
keeps his ties with his old home state in
good condition. Kyser would poll a sub

enough TO disturb the plans Of many a
conventional politician.
But this is not a Sound truck or hill

major instance have such tactics paid off
Others who have tried that means TO Of

especially in behalf Of the medical care
and hospital building program, we cannot
see Mr.. Kyser as a potential winner as
other entertainers have been elsewhere
It's best thai he remain in his present
field and leave the Tar Heel political one

We're glad Kay sees it that way, 100.

SCHOOL EMERGENCY

The report thai more IMAM oo'oo

Of education seeking not only 10 main

It came from DR.. James E.. Hillman, OF

He said that figures compiled during
the past two months show A.o per cent

schools have less than Grade A certifi-
cafes, which most superintendent agree
is the minimum acceptable standard. He
bases the total number Of youngsters re-

teacher.
These facts illustrate further the de-
plorable condition existing in the schools
today.
And the child is the major victim.
We agree intellectually with DR.. Clyde

priated every dollar it can 10 increase
teachers salaries, 1t has not done its
duty to its children" He made the state
ment al a Raleigh gathering designed 10
launch an Educational Crusade" TO re-

Teacher personnel is fast slipping away
and requirements are not attracted by the
meager salaries. Because the shortage is
nationwide, the North Carolina situation
is being made wen more acute because
numerous Tar Heel instructors are depart

The situation is the greatest emergency
it reached that point simply because the
salary question was IGNORED TOO long

GALLUP POLL:

More Education In Military
Training Favored By Public
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Dierctor, American Institute
Public ODini0n

PRINCETON. N. j.. Jan. %
If Army and Navy training pro
grams included classroom work
that would count as credit toward
high school or college diplomas,
there is evidence that volunteering
would be considerably more pop
ular.
For one thing, more close rela-
tives- parents, brothers, sisters,
etc.-say they would then advise
the young men in their family 10
volunteer.
Complaints are coming from,
many young men in army training
camps that much, of the work they
have to Go does not seem useful
or constructive: and in some cases
there are complaints that they do
not have enough 10 do.
To see what the attitude of
the general public is toward the
present military training program
for young men. the Institute has
conducted a coast-to-coast poll on
various aspects of the situation.
First it asked adults whether
they would advise a young man
of 10. 10 or 20 years of age to
volunteer for service in the Army
or Navy.
Only } little more than half said
they would recommend volunteer
ing.
If you had a son or brother
10, 10 or 20 years Of age, would
you advise him to volunteer for
service i'll the Army or Navy for a
%:ear?'

Yes, would advise 1890. $40

A THEORETICAL CREST
"WANES."

Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
, welt advances the opinion
that sO-called racial bias is
on the wane.
We know of nothing what
ever to support this opinion.
The truth of the matter is
that half of the sO-called BIZ
as exists in the minds Of
self-appointed supporters of
tolerance
AS we have pointed out
before, the promotion of
good feeling between peO-
Piles of different races.
creed or color requires the
cooperation of all concern
ed. If a minority organized
in an aggressive group Gre
ates the impression. Wheth-
er rightly or wrongly, that
it is attempting to secure
extra favors for tbs men,
bers, it will stir up what its
members will denounce as
intolerance"
The cry for tolerance in
many sections of this coun-
try smells of politics. 1t is a
shibboleth used by poIitici-
ans to win the votes of men,
bers of minority groups.
Aside from few spectacu-
lar pieces of legislation, de-
signed to establish "toIer-
ance" by law without much
regard for facts, the area
of greatest race tension in
the United States continues
to be where these politici-
} ans reside.

HAIL TO THE NoRTHER!

The nip from the north
that began Tuesday night
and BIT deeper by Wednes-
day morning was welcomed
by a good many Key West
ers, though The Citizen
knows of some, who had
been complaining about the
unseasonably warm wealth
err who wished we had the
wsrm days back again.
They will be back, for
that is the way of the wealth
er, bat, as one Key Wester
remarked, the nip from the
North put pep in one's blood.
Probably, tourists who
have been here a month or
80 and had come to think
that the mercury drowsed
around the sos all winter
long, were mildly surprised
when they had 60 get under
cover on Tuesday night. Pro-
baby. too, President Tru-
man went away with the
idea that ShOrt-SleeVe wealth
er prevails all winter long
in Key West. However, had
q nip from the North occurr-
ed during his visit here, he
might have viewed it ap-
preciatlvely, as did another
well-known man, who was a
candidate for the presidency
three times.
1t is hardly necessary to
say he was William Jenn-
ings Bryan. In writing The
Citizen about the winter
weather in South Florida,
he observed that an Deco
sional cold spell makes us
appreciate more the warm
and SunShinv days. Were all
days warm and sunshiny, he
added, their m 0 mot tony
would pail on us.
That sound observation
applies to everything else in
life. 1t is said that there are
% million amateur fisher
men in the United States,
but their ranks surely would
be depleted rapidly if they
always caught fish the in
slant they threw their hooks
into the water.
Human nature is such
that too much of any one
thing eventually tires US, so
hail, hail, to the norther!
