OPINION
Judge Roy Bean eastern
Division) sends us small say
ings etc. His latest is this:
THE weaker sex is that por-
ton of the human race which
goes down town in zero wealth
er in a half-masted lace peek
a-boo shirtwaist and wearing
sandals, to buy muffler and
wool socks for her husband so
that he won't get cold!"
RED BUD
How about the local Garden
Club sponsoring drive to in
duce our citizens to plant Red
bud trees? This could be
fine project for such a group
and it would pretty London up
a bit. Many of our old trees
die each year and much plant
ing will be needed in the next
few years if we are to MAIN
tain our reputation as one or
the prettiest towns in ONO.
How about it, girls?
PoME
Was a young feller named
Bill,
Who swallowed a nuclear
pill,
The doctor said cough"
The durn pill went off,
And they found his head
in Brazil!
ATOMS
We know a man who mas an
awful worry. He has two deep
freezers chock full of mutton,
beef and pork. Now, whats >
worrying him is what Wall
happen if an atom bomb
knocks out the power lines.
Our own suggestion is that ne
have a big dinner party ana
invite all of us!

Washington"
PEOPLE
On television the other night
a group of kids appeared on
ouizz program. The master Oh
ceremonies asked the youngs-
ters if they knew what a bud
get'' was. One little lad put
IN his hand and answered.
"Yes! A budget is a lafniiy
fuss!"
LOVE
Old Haywood Snugg, the
Lothario of the London Lone
ly Hearts Club, says tnat tfie
reason he's never married Is
because he never has been
able to find a woman with a
good enough job. Haywood fur
ther states that, whenever ne
feels like working, he just
finds a comfortable spot ana
sits down until the feeling
goes away.
BOOZE
Remember that one about
the hod-carrier who spent his
Saturdays pay in a saloon
when asked why he spent SO
much buying drinks for him-
self and others, he shrugged
his shoulders and replied,
Easy come-easy go"
OUCH!
And then there's the one
about the nasty kid who pois-
oned his mother and father SO
that he could attend the or
phan's picnic.

GRADES
Willie showed his father his
report card which was cover
ed with "E's" and then, pull
ing himself up to his full four
feet-two, said, "At least was
at the top of the list of those
who failed"
FOOD
Fellow told us that he
bought some weinies the other
day that were beef on one end

it's hard to make both ends

symbolic with education for many, many years. Earlier we
yentured the suggestion that he would wait to open the new
high school, but the decision has already been made. Princi-
pal Markoe's many friends and acquainances regretted his
retirement, but shared with many Others u expressing their
appreciation for his unselfish service to his home.
EDUCATION IN this Island IS Oh its way. Each and

citizens to do everything possible TO see that education IS

HIGHLIGHT ON EDUCATION

HGHLIGHT ON EDUCATION
WHEN THE H year opened the new buildings
should have been completed and a great forward step made
towards j new andbrighter day il education IN these Islands.
EDUCATION IS so vital to this island that no amount
sc money, no amount Of energy, and no attention could be
too great. Long ago there should have been q new, ade-
ouate school plant, but this is no time to look back The new
building IS on its way, and it IS for us to look forward 70 ITS
completion and occupation. The use Of this building should be
turning point for the better, and it should be marked as such.
IN THIS DAY and time when the struggle between
Communism and Democracy is so sharply drawn, the great
est weapon to which the west can turn is education. Without
# the future would be dim and Communism would make
even greater inroads. Democracy, as the most advanced form
of oov,ernment. can exist only in the most enlightened at
mosphere. The populace, governing itself, must be able 70
think its way through its own problems and way OF lite. +
must therefore be able to weigh matters in the light Ct GU
cumstances and make grave decisions.
VALUE OF education can never be overestimated,
and only ii proportion as this education is effective and tho
rough will freedom thrive at its best. Onothe other hand,
it IS clear that education, and every medium OF i, must pc
fully controlled in a totalitarian state. Teachers IN such coun
tries are carefully screened and must conform FULLY. They
can teach only what they are told and nothing else, and
through il all. the dictators decide what information the
public shall have. 1t is because OF TINS conuol mal russian
history can be rewritten as frequently as the dictators wish.
AT HOME HERE education has q second important
purpose, and that is to develop the type Of citizen which IN
smes the very best for this island The education must be Of
service, a practical, useful method which can be translated
into the most productive results. II is for this reason that vo-
cational training should occupy an important place. IN this
connection also, the grant BY the Ford Foundation IS one OF
the greatest blessings 10 come our way insmany q year.
NO D~IsCUsSIONSOF education and the beginning Of
& new school year could be complete without note that
Claude o. Markoe is no longer in the system. His has been

Editorial
THE PRESIDENTS PLAN
PRESIDENT EISENHOWER's plan, |

PRESIDENT EISENHOWERS plan, presented before.
the United Nations, for the pooling and control Of strategic
atomic materials Is perhaps the most provocative and impor
tant proposal made by a major power since the atom bomb
was invented. When the address was first announced ques-
tons were raised as to whether Or not II was ill-tmed, Or
whether it was Just one more stroke Of political drama Still
further there was the question Of putting Russia on the psy
Geological defensive in this whole matter.
WHAT COMES OUT At the moment is that the plan
cannot be brushed aside as Just one more propaganda stroke
Russia, blind to anything but her own way about world con
ditions, cannot brush off this suggestion as one more war
mongering attempt to start a third world war. There is
enough simplicity IN the matter and enough practically in i
to pose serious problems to those who oppose without gooi
reason.
AND PERHAPS THIS is what was needed at a time
ike this. Too long has the world been divided between two
camps, separated BY an iron curtain both sides working few
rishiy to prepare its defenses lest the cold war burst forth
into 4 shooting wal. The atom bomb has been the one factor
more than any other which has kept the fires burning and
strangely enough it might be the very one to prevent rival
powers from actually coming to blows.
THERE IS NO DOUBT that an atomic war would end
civilization, Or if not, then 50 cripple It that those who sur
vive would either be too weak to start a-fresh, o. be 50 dis
couaged about It that the will to rebuild would be totally
lacking. Il is this prospect that is giving diplomats and SER
ious minded deep concern
THE USE OF IONIC materials for peaceful, civilian
use IS undoubtedly the most concrete suggestion to come be-
fore the world. There can be little Or no valid argument
against use Of such materials in this manner. The plan is GER
tainly worth the tTy, and any nation which opposes i will
have to find an excuse which IT can present to the world free
from evil designs.
