armed with shotguns for rabbit

the Americans were out
hunting for the Russian bear.

A newspaper headline says
"New Moves Hinted in Korea as

this caustic comment from our
friend Sidewalk Sam: "Those
aren't new moves the reds are
making in Korea, nor are they
just limiting" And that is one
thing SIS has said that made sense.

education themselves. A little more
than 10000 teachers never have
gone beyond high school, while
100000 have had two years or
less Of college training"
THE ALARMING PART of the
Times report is that the least qua
lifted teachers are responsible for
the elementary education of our
children. Why this is so the re-
port does not say, but it does
point out that the teaching pro-
fession pays such small salaries
that the ambitious and the BRILL
ant on longer consider it worth
bothering with.
The Times offers no solution to
this pressing problem. Obviously
it believes the U. S. Department
of Education will work out a
solution, but meanwhile there is
something every citizen can do,
and that is support whatever eff
forts are made to raise the wages
Of school teachers to a level that
will assure the stating of our ele-
mentary schools with only the best
qualified instructors. Nothing is
more important-even during a
world crisis-than the education
of our children, and it is the re-
sponsibility of every citizen to see
to it that they get the best train
ing possible.

states report they cannot get

To Top as Nations S
Worst Disease Killer

Although the death rate from
tuberculosis shows a marked re-
duction, the disease still kills more
persons than all other infectious
diseases combined. the National
tuberculosis Association reported
today.
The association, in its annual
report, said more cases now are
being found in the early stages,
due to increasing numbers of mass
detection surveys.
Pointing out that 100000 Amer
leans have the disease, the asso-
citation said tuberculosis is a
Ipreventable and durable disease,
and today's facts and figures rep
resent needless tragedies"
The report pointed out that
Christmas Seal sales are the sole
support of the local and national
programs of the association. The
seal sale in 1949 netted $20.153, ,834
of which all but $1,011,340 was
allocated to the 5000 affiliated
local groups.
