Teaching History Not Enough

Recently we have read much comment to
the effect that the naive entry of Miss Bentley
into communism was in part due to her failure
to take courses in American history and civics.
One editor ascribed her delinquency to "a
basic malaise in our educational system"
But compulsory study of history and civics
will not channel the thinking of our youth
into the paths cf good citizenship any more
than going to church on Sundays alone makes
good Christians.
Take for instance the plight of colored
children in segregated schools systems where
teachers try to teach the fundamentals Of
good government when the children daily ex-
perience inconsistencies between the philoso-
ply of the classroom and the government OF
their local communities. 1t is good teacher
who can explain Jim Grow laws and lack of
civil rights to a class studying the principles
of democracy.
No textbook in history or civics which gave
credit to the Negro for the contributions and
sacrifices he has made to the building Of
America could be adopted by a Dixie-crat
legislature. Any publisher who put in his book
the pictures of Frederick Douglass, Mary
Church Terrell, James Weldon johnson or
even Crispus Attucks would have to limit his
product to few Northern States
Recently at a local colored high school
Bishop Stanley illustrated the way the colored
children in one high school maintained their
integrity Of self-respect when saying the last
words Of the pledge Of allegiance. with liberty

Park Litter Problem

To the Editor Of The Star:
Our Geological Park, Washington's most
popular outdoor attraction, overrun with Sum
day and holiday crowds, looks like a rubbish
dump with accumulations of empty paper
boxes bottles, drinking cups news and other
papers, and greasy inedibles, not to mention
cigarette butts and peanut shells.
A smaller cleanup force would be needed
If part of it was stationed to see that visitors
placed rubbish in the conveniently placed
trash receptacles.
On recent visit to Mount Vernon wit
messed an incident which showed how that
historic place, thronged with visitors like our
zoo, is kept clean. A vigilant guard ap-
preached group of people eating box lunch
on bench near the mansion and evidently
apprised them of what was expected of visitors,
for the group packed up, picked up the
debris and departed without leaving any trash.
Isn't it time we became more conscious Of
the refreshing beauty Of our Fairgrounds and
less careless about spelling their attractiveness?

Selected and Higher.Paid Teachers

Selected and Higher.Paid Teachers
To the Editor of The Star
Teachers in Washington who had obtained
their maximum salaries last year received an
increase in salary of $3.50 or 40 cents an hour
for the year, but the impression in the press
was that the increase was $780,
Higher teachers salaries and better school
equipment will not make for better child and
adult education, but more careful selection of
teachers and of administrators who would earn
their salaries together with so per cent raise
in salaries paid all teachers in our Nation
would net great deal.
Recently in your columns a statement was
made that teachers benefited by depressions.
would like to tell that writer that during the
depression our salaries were lowered and that
my individual salary was at its lowest, as was
everyones in other fields of service.

Another Lomakin in Difficulties

To the Editor Of The Star:
The problems in which the Soviet Consul
General finds himself enmeshed are formidable.
Not too long age another Lonakin solved his
problems in unique manner; and by way OF
being helpful offer the following, taken from
mage 108 of Robert L. Ripley's second book
"Belieye It or Not" to him as suggestion:
.Lomakin of Moscow bet his boots and lost
and was obliged to eat them. When the Russo
japanese War began in 1904, Lomakin, first
guild merchant of Moscow, bet that the Japa-
nese would sue for peace before July 1. 1904
He lost his bet and proceeded to consume his
boots in accordance with his undertaking"

Savings Bonds Officiu!s
Visit Business Men Here

Norman Weathersby, chairman
of Holmes County's Savings
Bonds committee, had Knox Nc
Mullan, Assistant Director of the
U. S. Savings Bonds Division for
Mississippi, visit him recently.
While here, Mr. Mcmillan also
contacted County Agent w. R..
Sullivan.
Mr.. MCMILLAN said with the
farmers of the nation having the
largest income in history, the
Treasury department is doing
everything possible to encourage
them to invest every dollar they
can in Savings Bonds. This takes
the money out of circulation and
thereby helps to relieve the pres
sure on the buying market; at
the same time, stores up money
which will help to tide them over
when things may not be so favor
able.
Farming is one Of the most
hazardous businesses in tn e
world. The farmer takes a big
chance every year with his money
and years hard work pitted
against weather conditions, pests
and the uncertainty of a good
market. Years when all the fact
ors are favorable are few and
far between. This being true. it
behooves the farmer to put all he
can in E bonds-one of the safest
investments possible-where he
can get it when he needs it."
Mr.. Weathersby urges every
farmer to consider the matter
seriously.

MORE LIGHT

Lights around the house often
seem dim at this time OF year
when evenings are longer. The
light from lamps often can be
increased simply by arranging for
more and better reflection, ac-
cording to home identification
specialists of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
White or light colors reflect
light but dark colors absorb it.
So a lamp shade which is dark
inside actually wastes light. "A
white paper lining or a coat OF
white paint or even white shoe
polish on the inside may double
or triple the light given off.
The shape of the shade counts,
too, in the amount of light shed.
Wide flaring shades give off more
than narrow shades with straight
light table lamps need shades
IA to l6 inches across the bottom,
and large floor lamp need shades
18 to 20 inches across the bot
tom.
The height of the lamp also is
important. A short floor lamp
about As inches from floor to
bottom of shade, for example
is usually better than a tall one
because the light source is near
err the book or other place where
ample light is needed. A table,
on the other hand should not be
so short that the shade comes
close to the table and cuts off the
spread Of light needed. When
used on desk or reading table,
a table lamp about is inches from
table to bottom of shade is gene
rally right. If taller than this, the
white lining Of the shade may
cause glare on the eyes.
For the sake of enough light,
it may even pay to refinish some
dark rooms with light-colored
paper and paint. Cleaning often
helps. too, in Frightening a room.
Dirt and dust absorb and waste
light whether on walls and cell
ings, or on lamp shades and bulbs.

Important a meal as is break
fast, some people fail to eat any
at all, according to Mrs. Anna
P. Fielder, extension specialist In
foods and nutrition.
Breakfast is an important meal
because the body needs stocking
after a IL hour fast. One needs
energy for morning activities, and
should remember that fatigue and
mistakes may result from made
quate food after going without
breakfast.
First question many ask is what
what makes a good breakfast
The answer lies in whether q
good light or a good heavy break
fast is wanted. For a light break
fast try fruit, cereal or bread ano
beverage. A little heavier meal
would consist of fruit, cereal or
bread, eggs and beverage.
Fruits are recommended In
every breakfast. Reason Is tna'
fruits help prevent constipation
and that some fruits are out
standing for vitamin c. Citrus
fruits are richest in vitamln =.
Half a glass, or four ounces OF
orange or grapefruit juice either
fresh or canned, goes far toward
meeting vitamin G needs Tor the
day. Half a grapefruit about
meets the same need.
Tomatoes, fresh or canned, are
also good sources OF vltamln =.
and may substitute for citrus
Juices when they are easier to get
1t takes about twice as much
tomato juice as orange juice TO
provided an equal amount OF vita
min c. Strawberries and canta-
loupe also help supply this vita
min.
Energy is an essential of good
breakfast, and this energy comes
from cereals, breads and fats.
Milk is part of a good breakfast
At least a pint a day for eacn
adult and full quart per child
is recommended for an adequate
supply of calcium, as well as OF
the B vitamin called riboflavin'
Butter or margarine, which
digest slowly, help a breakfast
stick to your ribs"
Building foods, which also sup
ply necessary minerals, include
eggs. liver, lean meats, fish, dried
beans and peas.
