our economic and political theory.
The red threads of Communism
are discernible in the education
al fabrics being woven for our
youth to Wear-and everywhere
the palsied hand of mediocrity
writes nonsense on the black
board as the only answer to the
charges of red cynicism.
The situation in the education
al field is becoming really seri-
Gus but-again-we have only our
selves to blame. Again we are
reaping only the harvest or our
penny wisdom. The teaching pro-
fession is notoriously underpaid
considering the responsibilities
with which it is charged. And
don't mean by few coppers-I
mean by resounding dollar
brackets.
Naturally the underpaid school
teacher is a discontented charact-
er-and therefore ready meat
for subversionist doctrine. If,
being underpaid, he is on the
other hand contented, he is
something as bad if not worse
he is a mediocre of the mediocre.
Needed, as in the case of our
attitude toward the government
official, is a complete revision of
our estimate of the school teach
er's annual worth to our society.
Excellence is an absolute re-
quirement on teaching staff and
faculty, if we would preserve our
economic sanity into the on
coming generations-but to at
tract such excellence, the money
must be there. Penny pinching
will never do the trick.
No great imagination is re-
quired to realize the vital part
which the leader of organized
labor can and will play in the
saving or scuttling of the Ameri-

revere. We have entered a phase
of our national development
wherein labor is fast becoming
the dominant voice. For better

CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS

There is growing movement initiated and effectuated
by parents in local school districts toward the consolidation
OF two smaller high schools in county districts

elementary schools.
Dr. Clyde Hssong director of education said that
"his movement and will result in significant improve
ment in secondary education. In these consultations
better utilization of existing building facilities has been
made possible This especially true in connection with
the elementary school,"
Although Noble county schools still operating as
they the past there belief locally that least
and probably schools operating this year for
the last time.
Although school executives and parents of the children
the school district bitterly oppose such consolidation
believe it will be for the best.
There will be many who disagree and they have
several good arguments but when the state gives the
green light there will be consolidation always
for the beterment of the district the students and
the parents.
During l95O51, DR. Hssong said there 46 new
consultations involving 10 high schools

But it is believed locally that Noble county will be

Miss Gilbert, the teacher, was
telling me how Skip Lawson almost
went to sleep in her physics class.
She noticed him nodding and
since they were discussing cleo
tricity-said in loud voice: "Now
maybe Mr.. LAWSON will explain
what electricity is" Skip started
up, looked around wildly, and
blurted out, Gee! l used to know,
but l forgot"
"What a loss to science!" sighs
Miss Gilbert. "No one to this day
knows what electricity really is,
and here we have a genius who
could explain it-but forgot!"

This Week
in
Washington

Senator Joseph Mccarthy of
Wisconsin probably assured that
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
would continue in his job indefi-
nltely, by predicting he would
be fired in favor of Republican.
And President Truman gave
Acheson a pat on the back for
a good job well done at the
Japanese peace conference in
San Francisco. In the meantime,
the big three-Schumann of
France, Morrison of Britain and
AcheSOn of the United States
we're holding important confer
enCeS here with regard to what
to do about Germany. The three
countries would like to bring
about a peace treaty much like
the Japanese treaty, but split of
Germany by the Russians into
east and west zones, and of
Berlin itself into two zones,
precludeS any such treatment.
If the house concurs, it looks
like the old three-cent stamp is
doomed and also the one-cent
postal card, as the senate voted
for increases in all classes of
postal rates for first, second and
third class mail-poSt cards from
one to two cents-first class mail
from three to four cents; air mail
from six to eight cents. Also
voted for war limitation on size
of parcel post packages and an
increase on second class mail for
newspapers and for periodicals in
third class.
The second class mail increase
would be a hike agreed to gen.
orally by newspapers for a ten
per cent increase for each of
three years following enactment,
but not affecting the in-county
privileges of the present law. The
house poStoffice committee has
agreed to a postal increase bill,
but the measure has not reached
the floor of the house The SEN
ate bill is expected to increase
postal revenues something like
$300,000,000, but already this rev.
enue increase may be cut in
half by a proposed increase in
postal workers pay, loss of
revenue due to the increase in
air mail and a subsequent boost
in subsidies to the air lines.
ParadoXically, every time the
post office department is given
a rate boost to ease up some of
its $5O0,OOO,000 deficit, the con-
gress cancels all or part of it by
a wage increase for postal work
erS.
In the meantime the taxing of
farm cooperatives is confused.
And the reason for the confusion
according to observers here, is
that farm organizations them
selves were confused over the
issue. The treasury department,
while asserting that taxing of
patronage dividends would be a
negligible figure in the overall

Negro Teachers
Pledged Support
Bv Council

Support of Negro teachers af-
fected by recent de-segregation
action was pledged last Saturday
by the Arizona Council for Civic
Unity at board of directors meet
ing in Tucson. DR.. J. 0. Grimes,
newly-elected president of the
council, indicated that the end of
segregation in Arizona's schools
was the major objective, but, he
added, eve will do everything in
our power to see that Negro
teachers are fully protected under
the present Tenure law - with a
court case to interpret the law, if
necessary"
In other action, the council voted
to commend the Tucson school
system for integrating both pupils
and teachers, approved the organ
ization of a joint statewide COM
mittee to encourage more schools
to end segregation, established a
statewide Legal Affairs Commit
tee, and endorsed an educational
campaign leading to the adoption
of a civil rights (public accommo-
dations) law by the Arizona legis-
lature.
After electing DR.. Grimes as
president, the board chose the fol-
lowing officers for 1851: DR.. Rob-
ert B. Phillips, Phoenix; and Miss
Maria L. Urquides, Eugene T. Lies,
and Major Dorsey J. Watson, all of
