May 5 Is Date For
Annual Fun Night

The fourth annual Fun Night will
be held the evening of May at The
Washington School.
This is a much looked for event
by older students and something
new to seventh graders. Mrs. Mary
Ellen Poffenberger and her commit
tee are busy making plans for the
big event and detailed information
regarding it will be given at later
date.
The purpose of Fun Night is to
raise money to supplement that given
by the Board of Education for extra
curricular activities of the school.
Since the Board of Education can
only allot so much to each school,
the balance needed to cover addition
al expenses must be raised by the
schools themselves.
Some of the specific items the
money taken in on Fun Nights has
been used for are: athletic uniforms.
visualzaid equipment, mats in the
gym, party expenses, pianos, victro-
las and library books. This year the
money is to be used for curtains on
the auditorium stage
Some of the big events at past Fun
Nights were: the Junior 1--WE Joint,
House of Horrors, an Operation"
a play, games and recital by the
Glee Club.
Past Fun Nights have built repu-
tation hard to surpass, but we believe
it will be done this year.

Clark Gable Could
Always Teach Here!

1t seems as if every day, when you
walk through the halls, you hear
someone either complaining about,
or praising, the teachers. For this
reason your reporter decided to find
out from the students what their def
milton of an ideal teacher was, and
here are some of the many interest
ing answers given:
Carole Holsinger: II always pic
ture the ideal teacher as one who
can make the students behave and
make them understand what she is
teaching them"
Geraldine Kirtley: "a teacher who
understands the interests of the stu
dents and treats them equally"
Helen Alder: ''The teacher who
can explain the subject without any
homework is my ideal teacher"
Louise Spickler: "Just give me
teacher tall, dark and handsome,
with black wavy hair and who gives
no homework. I'd be satisfied"
Donald McBrien: "The ideal teach
er is one who understands the pupil
and has keen sense of hunor."
10 Ann Beckley: "a teacher who
treats everyone equally He should
have no "pets" and should not pick
on certain students"
Rose Marie Beckley: "The ideal
teacher is man who, when he smiles
at you, makes you feel like you're in
heaven"

MECHANICAL DRAWING
PUPILS ARE SHOWN FILM

Despite the short school week be-
fore the Easter holidays, the film
machine was in constant demand. On
Monday, MIR. Muth, the mechanical
drawing teacher, showed film in
technicolor to grades seven through
ten.
The film was entitled Rubber
Harvest and, as the title suggests,
was about rubber: its original
sources, its manufacture, and its
various uses

10 submit a new permanent long
range" farm program before the
present session of congress adjourns.
While chances of enacting new
program at this late date do not APP
pear too bright, one could be pre-
sented "for the record"
A program proposed by con-
gressional farm leaders would
give those Democrats who are
cool TO the Brannan plan-and
there are many of them-some-
thing 10 latch on 10 when they
campaign for the farm vote this
fall.
of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan
could continue to plug for the Bran
nan plan while any Democrat who
wanted to could point to the con-
gressional program.
This would in no way take the
edge off those mostly
in the large urban centers of popula-
tion-who back the Brannan plan as
q system to lower food costs to con-
sumers without lowering farm buy
ing power.
A new farm program proposed by
Democrats in congress would ac-
tually give the party two farm plans
to use as campaign fodder-with
each candidate free to select the one
of his choice.
There would not be anything in
consistent in this. AS a matter of
record, Secretary Brannan has re-
peatedly called upon congress-or
anyone else-to propose long-range
farm legislation.
First step in drawing up a con-
gressional farm program came when
Senator Elmer Thomas, Democrat,
Oklahoma, chairman of the senate
agriculture committee, announced
that he and Representative Harold
D. Cooley of North Carolina, house
agriculture committee chairman
were preparing broad outline fol
new farm plan"
Thomas said it was hoped to offer
the plan before this session of con.
gress adjourns. This is now tenta.
lively set for August l.
Both he and Cooley are stauncf
supporters of high-level rigid price
supports for basic commodities
Thomas has indicated that he would
like to see the present flexible sup
port program scrapped and replaced
by system of high-level rigid sup
ports.

operate. continued price sup
ports on basic commodities at

support levels in 1851.

that his committee planned exter
sive hearings this summer with
view of reconsidering this program

not gone into details, any program

there might be provisions for pro-

But the chances of enacting any
new farm program at all will grow

About the only piece of farm
legislation that probably will go
through congress before ad-
journment is expansion of the

two billion dollars for its opera
tions.
This has already been passed by
the house and by the time this is
in print probably will have passed
the senate, but with amendments
calling for a conference committee
of the two houses to reconcile diff
ferences.
The senate agriculture committee
accepted an amendment by Senator
Warren G. Magnuson of Washington
State, restricting imports of farm
commodities which interfere with
U. S. price supports.
Another amendment to restrict
c. c. c. operations to normal trade
channels was rejected.
USDA REORGANIZATION
Two reasons have been ad-
vanced why the senate defeated
u. S. D. A. reorganization.
In the opinion of Senator George
D. Aiken of Vermont, ranking Re-
publican member of the senate agri-
culture committee, congress was
afraid that Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan would be given too much
power to reorganize the department
In the opinion of Senator Clinton
P. Anderson, New Mexico Democrat,
himself former agriculture secre-
tary, the senate rejected reorganiza-
ton because the White House failed
to clear enough of the program with
congressional leaders before it was
submitted
Aiken said it was feared that the
secretary might use his reorganiza-
ton authority-if it had been
granted-to restrict some u. S. D. A.
agencies.
He declared many senators feared
the secretary would trim extension
service activities, now subject of {
controversy because of a bill t.

Communists Allotted

Months ago and repeatedly since,
this column has pointed out the ex-
istence Of this condition which has
caused an evil atmosphere of fear
and hysteria, brought to climax
in recent weeks by the charges of
Senator Joseph Mccarthy of Wis
consin concerning Communist in
filtration in our state department.
In the minds of most responsible
and thinking people here in Wash
ington, these canards have been
proven both irresponsible and i'll
founded.
But there can be no doubt that
because of these cries of ''woh,
wolf" the condition of uneasiness
noted in the midwest has been fos-
tered in the minds of the people
there and everywhere. There also
is little doubt that the detectives
of the Communist fifth columns,
not only in this country, but in
every country, have been aided
and abetted. For that is the aim
of the Moscow plotters of Commu-
nistic activities. to disunite, to de-
stroy confidence, and to create
suspicion in democracies and free
governments throughout the world.
This policy of destroying conf
dence, OF causing unrest among the
population has been used TO advan-
tage by Communists many times.
George keenan,, counselor of the
state department in recent speech
in midwest city said: 1.-THE atmos-
phere of public life in Washington
does not have to deteriorate much
further to produce a situation in
which very few of our more quiet
and sensitive and gifted people will
be able to continue in the govern
ment. The margin of safety with
which our country moves in the
world today is not great enough to
permit us to be reckless and waste
full with the talents and idealism
of those people we depend upon
for the generalship of our peace.
