Parent Teacher Assn
Holds First Meeting

The first meeting Of the Clint
wood Parent-Teacher Association
was held Tuesday night The open
ing feature of the meeting was
the installation of officers for the
present year. They are:
L. A. Ratliff, president; Avon
B. Sykes, vice president; Mrs. E.
B Stanley, secretary; and G. c.
Stidham, treasurer.
Paul w. Skeen, principal of
the school, spoke to the meeting,
asking for an understanding of
the school problems. One defect
of the PTA, he pointed out, was
that it did not have in its mem.
bership patrons of the school who
live out of town. He said that the
school building was now break
ing at the seams and could not
hold the large number of pupils
expected next : year. Mr.. Skeen
asked the parents to unite with
the teachers in study of h e
high school course, which he be-
lieved was not well suited to the
students.
G. c. Stidhan sounded a popu-
lar note when he proposed that
the school have band. After
some discussion, a committee, con
sisting of G.. c. Stidham, E. c.
Smith and Mrs. Curt Mullins,
was appointed to explore this
proposition. New members of
the teaching staff were introduc
ed by Mr. Skeen, who stated that
the school has one of the best
faculties in Southwest Virginia

Opinion
Editor The Herald:

EOllOI lie 11Sl dIu.
1 just want to say that think
your editorial Don't Weep Over
Them" in last weeks Herald was
a most sensible and thought-pro-
voking discussion of the matter.
1 particularly enjoyed yorr use
of Masters quotation. 1t does ap-
ply, most aptly.
I think it would be quite inter-
esting to have the opinion of
some of your readers in answer to
the three pertinent questions in
the next-to-last paragraph. Per-
sonally I believe that the real
need of the tenn-ager is for prop
err home Misunderstanding for
assuming responsibility, training
in judging values (this will come
naturally is parents can set good
examples), training that will
build character. l say the home
must be the basis for such train
ing, because it should start early
and there is little the church or
school can do after the child has
developed wrong attitudes and
learned to accept slow standards
through poor home training
I'd really like to hear what
some parents have to say about
this.

LOVE IN THE LEGISLATURE

The male member of the Idaho House of Repre- sentatives who successfully proposed marriage to a female colleague on the floor of the assembly gave his fellows good laugh But fear he will live to regret the circumstances.
 For a man getting engaged in private, the rules of married life are unwritten and he has voice in drawing them up But the married life of these two representatives will necessarily be governed by the Manual of the General Assembly of Idaho,
 There will, of course be question concerning who will be the speaker of the house. And the manual gives great powers to the speaker. She may call the members order preserve order in the hal rule on points of order examine and correct the journal sign bills, clear the hail. state and put all questions.
 Imagine for example the lot of husband who has committed himself to abide by such rules as these:
 When any member is about to speak he shall rise from his seat and respectfully address the speaker he shall confine himself to the question under debate and avoid personality
 While the speaker IS putting any question or addressing the house. shall walk out of cross the house."
 Every motion shall be reduced to writing if the speaker demand it."
 The legislator may not know it, but he has agreed to become a permanent minority in unicameral assembly.

MICHIGAN SCANDALS

Some significant campaign con- tributions have cropped up in Mich igan as a result of the Senate Election Committees probe of Sen- ator Homer Ferguson. The inter esting question is whether 7,40J paid by Preston Tucker allegedly to hush up the Ferguson probe of the Tucker automobile scandal ever got back to finance Ferguson's campaign.
 On Oct. 12 this column revealed some sensational facts regarding the sudden manner in which the Tuck CT automobile probe was dropped like hot potato by Ferguson who at that time headed the Senate's most important Investigating con- mittee. A little over S17000 was paid by Tucker to Mrs. Dudley Hay, then Republican National Commit teewoman from Michigan and sec- , retary of the COP National Con- mittee.
 At the very moment Ferguson had investigators in the Tucker plant in Chicago, making a thorough probe and was reported ready to hold public hearings. But on May g, l947 Mrs. Hay came to Washington, called Fergu- sons secret home number which 1 few people had then, again in Washington May 15, Is, again call Jed the Capitol several time: return led to Washington again June and called Ferguson's private number twice. Again, on June II, Mrs. Hay returned to Washington and twice called Ferguson's private number. Simultaneously Tucker was in Washington.
 Shortly thereafter Ferguson probe of Tucker was dropped. Several Tucker employees state that at about this time he told them he had employed "a political figure in Michigan to call off the Ferguson committee and that It
 was the 'best money he ever spent. r | At any rate, Ferguson's probe of Tucker was not only dropped. but
 was never resumed.

SOME TUCKER MONEY RETURNED

Meanwhile. Senate investigators have interviewed Mrs. Hay in Ro- meo, Michigan, who has refused to say whether any of the money paid her by Tucker helped finance the l948 campaign of Senator Fer guson and other Republicans. Mrs. Hay admit that she and her hus- band received the money, but ex- plains it was paid by Tucker for an appraisal which her husband made of the Tucker auto plant. MT. Hay is not an engineer nor has be had any established experience as an industrial appraiser.
 Mrs. Hay also revealed to investi- gators that Tucker later gave her six additional checks totalling S3000, made out to the Republican Fin anee Committee of Wayne County, Michigan. The checks, each for $500, were signed by six different

 What will count ultimately will be the group of believing ndivdvuals who go to Washington March 30 with firm beliefs and good facts that Governor Gruening should not be appointed
 The case against Governor Gruening is bound to be less tangible than the for him. His crime, his opponents it, is that he is determined to perpetuate the dstastefu elements of the 1882 to 48 New Deal in Alaska through the creation of bureaus agencies and political appointments. Alaska on the verge of becoming state, will go into that status with administration already elected through Gov ernor Gruenings powerful machinery of politics AL aska if and when it becomes state should be free of all shackles of territoriasm and into it's new role proudly and unencumbered It cannot do that with Governor Gruening.

GENERAL VAUGHAN SCORES

Gen Harry Vaughan, the Presl- dents iovial Military Aide, was out of luck when it came to a U. >. loan to his admirer, Dictator Peron, of Argentina. However, It LOOKS as if Harry had quietly scored an interesting victory close to home.
 Milton Kronheim, Jr., promin- ent Washington liquor dealer ana close friend of Vaughan's, has Just been appointed a Municipal Court judge for the District of Columbia. One interesting angle about this appointment is that during OPA days. the biggest blackmarketing fine ever paid was by Kronhslm and son, the very same liquor deal- CTS. They paid the large total o1 s2oO 0OO. though Senators Wherry of Nebraska and Ferguson ot Mich iqan said it wasn't enough and raised cain because they did not go to jail.
 Now. the son, Milton Kronheim, Jr., who was in the liquor firm at that time, has been appointed to an important Washington judge ship.
 Vaughan and the Kronheims make no secret Of their close friendship. Only recently at the Jackson Jefferson Day dinner, the Presidents Military Aide sat with them att the same table. And on the Presidential special train to the Army Navy game in Philadelphia a year ago Vaughan, Kronheim, Sr., and John Maragcn, another pal of Vaughan's, rode in the same com partment. Compartments on the Presidents special are obtained by only very few.
 John Maragon, an eX-bootlegger is another intimate of Vaughan's who always seems to have an ample supply of liquor on hand. Affable Milton Kronheim, ST, when once asked whether he kept Vaughan in supply, modestly admitted. The General touches me for a bottle now and then"
 Government officials have long wondered why Vaughan took such an interest in the liquor business During food-saving days when the distillers were on a tight grain ration, Vaughan had the nerve tc dall up the office of Secretary oi Agriculture Clinton Anderson ano demand in stentorian tones that
