tanned Thursday February 28th at

Mrs. Arnett Harbage gave a
book review of "kon Tiki by
Thor Hyerdahl. Mr.. Hyerdahl, a
Norwegian scientist, took five
other men with him on a specially
constructed raft from Peru, South
America, to the South Pacific
Islands to prove a theory that this
journey was possible. Native In
dams of Peru and Indians of
South Pacific Islands worship the
same Gods. Therefore, Mr. Hyer-
dahl believed that Indians had
made this journey. So he and his
companions set forth on this peril
Gus journey and at least proved to
themselves that it was possible
but extremely treacherous.
A social hour followed during
which the hostess served refresh

Left alone momentarily in the library,
the producer noticed big blueprint on DR..

Since he himself was having new house
built at the time, and had blueprints coming
out of his ears, he felt an uncomfortable

Teenage Traffic
Program Okayed
For Schools Here

In an attempt to cut down the
number of teenage traffic viola
tons, the council this week ap-
proved the establishment of a
teenage traffic school in the coun-
ty.
Details of the schools operation
were left to county manager Irv-
ing G. McNayr. Recommendations
for the course came from the coun-
ty safety board, the juvenile court
committee and juvenile Judge AL
fred D. Noyes.
Under the proposal of the juven-
lie court, the traffic course would
be administered by the safety
board, with the cooperation of the
AAA. In urging establishment of
the school, Judge Moves pointed
to last years all-time high of 81
teenage traffic violations.
The safety board asked that the
six-hour course be conducted by
the police department, adding that
the school should cost mo more
than the cost of stamps and sta
tionery."
McNayr said details of the pro-
gram will be devised soon.

l Might Be
Wrong but
P. G. STROMBERG

With the 1852 national conven-
lions now in the records it is inter-
esting to make comparisons and
analyze results. First of all one
would be lacking real human SYM
rathy if he failed to appreciate the
similarity of the positions of Taft
and Kefauver. These two men
worked long and hard to secure
support for nomination to the high
est office in the land to find victory
snatched at the last hours by men
who had done little campaigning
for the nomination. According to
reports neither is embittered.
1862 brings to the American peo-
pie a new approach to the presi-
Dental election. With millions of
people able to witness democracy
in action in both the conventions
the effect should be a greater per-
centage of the votes cast than ever
before. With political activity the
subject of discussions among all
groups, public and private, large
and small, men and women, young
and old, is it not reasonable to as
sumo that there is greater under
standing of our government and
that consequently there will be
more discussion which will lead to
a greater number of people voting :?
And further, if healthy percent
age of new voters cast their ballots
in November in what direction will
they go? Will they vote for Eli
senhower or Stevenson; will they
vote Republican or Democratic;
will they vote North or South; will
