DR.. Cannon Reaffirms
View Against Teaching
Sex in High Schools

Sex does not lend itself to group
instruction of adolescents and should
not be taught in special classes, DR.
James A. Cannon, Board of Educa-
ton member, declares in an. article
in the current Medical ANIMAL" pub
LEGATION of the District Medical So
ciety.
Reviewing his stand of many
years, DR.. Cannon says that from
time to time "well-meaning" en-
thusiasts urge the Board of Educa-
ton to include in the high school
curriculum a special course in sex
education. This he always has OPP
posed.
Either they do not know, or they
lose sight of the fact, that sex is
explained in the elementary schools
and high schools whenever it &C.
ours in the studies of the young
sters," he writes. Literature, botany
and biology, for example, all have
to do with sex and explanations are
made in a natural and matter of
fact. manner when they are In
order"
BY the time the average young
ster enters high school, he knows
a good deal about the subject any,
way, DR.. Cannon points out. He
says there was no need to empha-
size its Importance by a special
course.
He advises the teaching of sex at
the right time, in the right place
and by the right person" II par
ents feel their instruction would not
be adequate, the doctor, clergyman
and the school counsellor should be
consulted.
It was DR.. Cannon who led the
fight back in 1943 against a special
sex education course which was to
be worked into the physical educa-
ton program Of the high schools.

to their parents.
The banquet was held in the Sun
day School room, and the tables
were attractively decorated. Mrs.

pose, he was liked by all the other
wagoners and everyone that knew
him.
Another man who was typical of
many of the drivers was William
Hall. He had a high respect for his
calling, was jealous of his rights, and
felt that his occupation called for a
clean life and clean habits He al
ways appeared neatly dressed and
"Clean in person and conversation"
But as might be expected, there
were those who were not SO mild
and gentle. One Capt. Elias Gil
more was generally an "amiable"
man, but he loved a "fst-fght."
Moreover, he loved to hear it said
that no driver on the road could lick
him. So when newcomer came
upon the road who happened to have
the nickname of "Man-eater," the
very name was challenge to Gil
more. He sought out the new-com-
mer, and without any questioning or
hesitation, he announced "You are
a pretty stout looking man, but can
lick you" And then he proceeded
to do so. But he had to pay fine
for his fun this time.
On another occasion, there was
one of these "all blow and no 90"
boys driving, named Henry PolTen-
berger blustery fellow. He met
another driver at narrow place,
which required that one of them
would have to get Off the road in or
der to pass. An argument immcd-
lately followed; old Puff in very
authoritative voice, commanded the
stranger to "move over" But the
stranger refused to obey such or
ders. Angry words were exchanged
for a while, and then Old Pull de-
manded to know the others name.
"Breakiron" was the reply. At this
Old Puff said: 'That's a hard name,
but you look harder than your
name" And Breakiron replied,
81 am as hard as my name, and what
is your name?" When told he con-
tinued, That's a windy name And
Henry Poffenberger echoed: Eyes,
but there is thunder with it,"
At this, both men had to laugh,
and Ito our disappointment they
became good friends,
1t will be well to note few re-
marks made by another well known
"Wagoner" John Deets, who later
became a Minister. He relates that
the pike boys had hard times" and
good times" They were fond of
sport, and SO tried to put up" for
the night at a tavern where there
would be a Fiddler" And there
would always be a "Hoe-down." He
says that after the fun, the drivers
spread their beds around the fire,
and slept like a mouse in a mill"
Usually they were friendly, but of
ten there were scraps. He tells of
one time when Elias Meek wanted
to fight with Abner Bentley Ben
ley insisted that he did not want to
fight, and finally ran away from
Meek. Meek still would not give up,
but ran after Bentley and caught him.
Bentley was now ready to fight, and
gave Meek what Deets called a
wonderful thrashing" Meek was
not able to drive his wagon for some
time, and was thereafter a little
more like his name.

Horse And Buggy Days
BY IDA 30 MARTIN

Once in a while someone bitches
up old Dobbin and drives around
the streets of our modern town, to
the great distress of all these car
drivers who just have to get some
place in a terrible hurry. But the
younger folks always look with adj
miring eyes, and wish for ride in
the old buggy. And to drive the
horse yourself, is an experience to
talk about for long time.
Back in the hey-day of the old
National Pike, driving was proud
profession. There were thousands
of drivers, many famous, and of
every possible disposition. There
was adventure, excitement, danger
and romance along the road. Some
of the drivers became wealthy,
many retiring to buy farm for a
quiet old age. They hated to leave
the road, and never quit telling tales
about their exploits and adventures
Indeed, some of the stories exceed
even the fisherman's tales.
One of the early drivers from this
section, born in Lancaster Co, Pa,
was r. d. Kerfoot He came to this
county and worked for a well known
local farmer by the name of j. b.
Baer. As quite a young man, Ker-
foot was put in charge of a fine six
horse team and wagon and sent out
on the road to haul goods, wares and
merchandise to and from Baltimore
and Wheeling. He used one of the
"broad wheeled" wagons described
last week.
Since there were such great num-
Der of drivers, it is impossible to
name even a small percentage of
them, or to pick out who were the
more important ones, or best known.
Many were highly respected. Many
had regulations for honesty-or for
the lack of honesty; many were
serious and quiet, peaceable and
never getting into quarrels, while
others seemed to seek every chance
for a fight they could find; and the
tall tale bearers" abounded
One driver, James Murray, relat-
ed encountering wind on Keyser's
Ridge so stiff that it took six men
to hold the hair on one mans head.
We wonder what became of the hair
on the six mems heads!
Driver Robert Bell had some
queer ways though he was rich, his
horses were always the poorest
equipped on the road, at times go
ing the trip without brides. He was
known as "Stingy Robert"
The "Reminiscences of one old driv-
err, George Widdle, are typical of
the feelings of most of the men who
had spent part of their life on the
road. He says that the days when
he drove his six horses with a
single line, and a Louden whip, from
Wheeling to Baltimore" were the
happiest in his life. Nothing affords
him so much pleasure as a recital
of the incidents of the road. He
says there were never such taverns
and tavern keepers as those of the
National Road in the days of its
glory.
Another old driver, like many
others, was a negro, Wesley Stro-
Their. He was 'black as black could
be, and stalwart in size and shape"
Mild in manner, and honest in pur-

Often a high school student who
excels at books can make the best
possible tutor of a classmate or
student in lower class. have seen
great success in such cases. The
student-tutor may know better than
the average regular teacher Just
what the difficulties are the student
he is helping has and how to help
him overcome these difficulties. 1t
is very necessary, of course, that
the student being helped shall have
great confidence in this tutor and
look up to him as a student; that
this student be paid a regular fee
agreed to beforehand. Then both the
helper and ths helpee are inclined
to go at the mater very seriously.

fOy. the
debut
By FRANCES FOX
BY FRANCES FOX

n VERY important date on
n young lady's calendar is her
debut party. Naturally. she wants to
be the belle of it and for this reason
lavishes particular care and atten-
tion on her beauty routine.
First, she removes old makeup
with rich cleansing cream and fol-
lows up with a stimulating face
wash. Then, into the tub for luxu-
rious bubble bath. Using long
handled brush, she gives special
attention to elbows and back and
finally, emerges from her bath fresh
and relaxed from the combination
sudsing and scrubbing.
When it comes to makeup the
debutante-to- seeks the advice of
Mother or Big Sister. Both agree
that she should strive for a natural
effect. So, to avoid hard, rask-like
look, she chooses a creamy-smooth
lotion for a foundation. This will
keep her makeup clinging and
fresh-looking for hours and con-
slant repairs won't be necessary.
Taking Big Sisters advice again.
she uses pressed face powder and
Auffs it on with a brush. Finally,
rouge and mascara are used spar
ingly and lipstick of a pale pink
shade is applied last of all.

IF your child in the intermediate
grades, upper grades or high school
is not getting on well in his school
work, you might be wise to employ
a tutor (teacher) to work with him
three or four periods a week. This
should prove a good investment,
even though you have to skimp on
your budget elsewhere.
Of course, you or Dad might be
able to help this child with his les
sons. Yet the average mother is in
clined to be impatient with him and
to grow vexed at his learning mis-
takes. Fathers are still worse, as a
rule. No one is fit to help a child
at books who gets the least angry
when this child makes an error.
In choosing a tutor for your
child, find one who is very calm
and has insight into how a child
feels over school work which has
been hard for him and who, more
over, will set him to do only what
he can succeed at. As a rule, a
teacher of grade one or two grades
lower than the child's is better than
the teacher Of his regular grade. 1
would prefer second grade teacher
for a fourth grade child needing
help in reading, spelling, or arith-
metic. She would probably have him
read from second grade books and
give him some basic phonic drills.
She also might find easy materials

What To Do
For Oily Hair
BY HELEN FOLLETT

AMONG the girls who stand at
beauty's wailing wall, not one will
lament as loudly as the girl with
oily hair. Every shaft sticking to its
neighbors. Ringlets going stringy
in no time. The whole crown, which
is anything but glorious, looks as
if it had just been larded.
First step; change the shampoo
agent. Keep on changing until you
find the right one, one that can be
thoroughly rinsed away. 1t often
happens that it isn't sebaceous oil
sent out by the scalp that is re-
sponsible for the wretched condi-
tion, but an accumulation of soap
scum. 1t is not easy to make
thorough job of shampooing. 1t
takes time, a strong current of
water and plenty Of friction. If you
fancy you can rub a bar of soap
over your head, stand under the
shower for few minutes, and get
your hair shining clean, you are
sadly mistaken.
DlHerenC Sndmp00S
On Cosmetic counters are many
shampoo offerings, more than we
have ever seen before; oils, creams,
soaps, even dry shampoo mediums.
But no matter what one uses, the
technique must be correct. A good
brushing should precede the lather-
ing, friction should follow. And
brush your hair regularly every
night, too.
When the hair is oily, the skin is
likely to carry shine. The sensible
thing then is to regulate the diet
so that the sebaeeous glands will be
less active.
Cut down on foods containing fat
in any form. That means that the
"oilies" must close their eyes when
the pastries are passed. Rye toast
is preferred to buttered bread. Cof-
fee and tea should be taken with
out cream. Bacon is permitted if
it is crisp. Pork is taboo.
Drink several glasses Of water a
day. Take orange or tomato juice
for their vitamin content, green
vegetables for the mineral salts
they contain.
More and more is it proven that
diet has much to do with looks
good or not so good.
