Must reading for parents is
who's Trying to Ruin Our
Schools?' by Arthur Morse, in Nc
Calls. He describes the activities
of Allen Zoll, leader of the Ma
tional Council for American Edu-
cation, and Lucille Cardin Grain,
editor of the Educational Re-
viewer. Both persons, neither OF
whom have the slightest right
to describe themselves as educa-
tors, the author points out, have
set themselves up as authorities
on the subject of "subversive" ma
terial in teachers minds and in
textbooks. They also object to
their Interpretation of ''progres-
sive education" and seriously doubt
the worth of the public school
system.
Mr.. Zoll. for example. has
written that he deplores and con-
siders un-American the fact that
currently it is popular to plug
hard for the democratic equality
of all men,"
Democracy" Mrs. Grains mag
azine has declared, ''is a govern
ment by demagogues leading to
the tyranny of the majority over
the minority"
According to Mr.. Morse, by the
end of 1941, when zoll was Just
swinging into action, his pam
phlet sales and contributions from
persons interested in his cam
paign had netted him an esti-
mated $45, 900. Mr.. zoll was the
founder of American Patriots.
Inc, a now defunct organization
which appears on the Attorney
Generals list as Fascist organ
ization. He presented such speak
ers as Elizabeth Dilling, indicted
for sedition three times during
World War II. Other equally un-
savory facts about his life are
given by the author.
The great damage being done
by these people to the spirit, let
ter and personnel of American
education is only possible because
well-meaning, but uninformed
citizens are taken in by them. Mr..
Morse claims. Many community
committees on education have ac-
cepted and acted upon Zoll's
philosophy.
To combat it, a National Citi-
zens' Commission for the Public
Schools has been formed, COM
posed of a disguished member

was instrumental in it's creation
and its chairman is Roy E. Lar

Dame Sybil Wants
Less Bores In
British Theater

LONDON.-(P.-Those conser-
vative, respectable Britishers
have been given what for and
by a highly respectable, conser-
vative Britisher. No one less than
68-year-old Dame Sybil Thorn
dike-the dean of British &C.
tresses.
Dame Sybil got up and raised
a little row at a meeting of Brit
iSh Actors Equity.
Develops that some of the ac-
tors had proposed form OF
closed shop. Now, mind you, this
wasn't just a run of the mine
union squabble. What some of
the actors were proposing was
that the actors exercise greater
control over so-called fly-by-
night dramatic schools. Said
some of the actors-too many
people without talent are getting
into the theater.
Dame Sybil has seen her share
of bad actors. And she limited
broadly that she was addressing
some of them when she got up
to cay her defiant say.
THE theater," said Dame Sybil,
needs fewer restrictions and
fewer bores."
Just so happens, she told her
colleagues, that she herself hap
pens to come from one of those
one-flight-up dramatic schools,
and maybe something was WRONG
with those who didn't. AS she
! put it: 1T may be that they
bore the audience or they bore
the managers. We don't want
bores in theater. There's tons OF
room at the top"
And Dame Sybil told her act
ting colleagues, you're just toe
darn respectable"
Well, you know how it is. Yor
don't build Rome in day. YOU
don't make over the British the
/ alter in one speech. The actors
| voted to look into a system Of
controlling those dramatic schools
that live on the second floor.
1t might be added that Dame
Sybil Thorndike's tongue is just
as sharp when it comes to Amer.
lean actors-particularly alleged
actors. There was the case
some time back-of an American
actor who performed in London.
He was well known-but more
for strong personality than great
acting ability. One night Dame
Sybil caught his performance
and considered throwing it back,
But a companion tried to change
her MISUNDERSTANDING at length
On the actors background, includ-
ing his considerable wealth.
Dame Sybil thought about this a
while, and then said:
Would you not think he could
afford to take lessons?"

Value Of Timber Products In
Holmes County for 1851

We have just received a copv
of the annual report of the tim
Der severance tax report for 1850.
The volumes as recorded in this
report are the neareast thing to
the true figures that are avail
able but we are sure that some
products were cut on which taxes
were not paid. Taxes were PAID
on 80 to 80 per cent of the actual
volume of timber cut in the
county The sawlog volume was
&c, 293, 900 board feet with a valu-
alton of $l,633.l85. The pulpwood
volume was 20. 1853 cords. with a
valuation of $685. This makes
a total from timber products ST.
893,02l. This represents a as per
cent Increase over 1949. From this
report you can see that our tim
Der is big business in Holmes
county. Every farmer should
treat his timber land as a crop.
They should be protected from
fire at all times. AS timber is
bing cut from your land they
should be replaced with young
seedlings. Let's make every eff
fort to increase timber products.
