Maryland PTAs Urge
State Pay $40 Million
More in School Costs
By Sam Eostmon
Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

BALTIMORE, Nov. 13.-The
Maryland Congress of Parents
and Teachers, acting on a mo-
tion from Montgomery County
delegate, today urged that the
States share of Maryland's edu-
cational burden be increased
from the present 358 per cent
to As per cent.
The State in the current school
year is contributing about $36
million to the cost of running
the public schools. The reSolu-
tion adopted by the PTA dele
gates would increase the States
contribution by almost $40
million.
Other Amendments Voted.
The convention was set this
morning to adopt a resolution
which merely stated that State
financing of school operating
costs should be extended. But
an amendment. offered by Phi
lander P. ClaXton, jr., of the
Woodacres PTA in Montgomery,
was adopted. 1t calls for ex-
tending State financing to As
per cent of current operating
costs.
Mr.. Claxton also had four
other amendments adopted, all
suggesting higher State contri-
buttons to county and city school
costs.
The plea for greater State aid
came as the delegates were still
mulling over report from State
School Supt. Thomas G. Pullen,
jr,, that Maryland will get an in
crease of $4,000 school chill
dren in the next sly years.
That would require 5000 more
teachers, DR.. Pullen told the del
egateS yesterday.
In a speech before the con-
vention last night, Mrs. Agnes
E. Meyer, wife of Eugene Meyer.
chairman of the board of the
washington Post, declared:
1T is high time that we make
up our minds what the public
schools can and cannot do For

expert, a doctor. a clergyman.

"All this we demand from one
underpaid public servant because
the Nation lacks the wisdom and
the will power to face it's social
problems with honest, effective
and comprehensive insight
Mrs. Meyer also said that "the
serious deterioration in our edu-
catlonal standards reflects the
gap that has sprung up through
out the Nation between the pro-
fesSlon of ideals and our willing
ness to work hard toward their
realization.

Education Of World
On Reason for u. n.
Stressed by Bishop

The titanic task of educating
the world to the reason for the
existence of the United Nations
Organization must be accom-
plished before the U. N. can be-
come effective, a Catholic bishop
said today.
The Most Rev. John J. Wright,
bishop of Worcester, Mass, said
the lack of moral, spiritual and
political understanding of why
a world assembly is necessary is
the greatest stumbling block in
the way of the effective func-
tioning for international peace
by the U. N.
Bishop Wright made the re-
marks in a keynote address as
the 26th annual Conference of
the Catholic Association for In
ternational Peace opened at
Trinity College here.
The education program is
necessary to stimulate support
OF the U. N. at the grass roots
level and give vitality and flesh
and blood to the idea of one
world" Bishop Wright declared.
The U. N. has been function
ing as a purely mechanical
organization" because of this
lack of understanding and gen.
eral support. Bishop Wright said
an educational campaign must
be extended to all areas of the
world since the lack of support
and knowledge is world wide.
The conference theme is an
evaluatio of the United Nations
since it's inception in 1945. The

"Skidding and poor vision are a

Pont, President of the Delaware
Safety Council said Monday in list
ing two conditions as being pri-
marily responsible for the increas-
ed hazards of winter driving.
Inadequate traction and reduced
visibility" he said, "when combin-
ed with the normal hazards of
everyday driving, can easily trap
the unwary driver and lead direct

62 MILLION NOW
INSURED IN S. S.
Retired WOrkers Receive Over
S21z Billion From Social
Security in 1858
ENTERS nth YEAR

Many people are still unaware
of the extent to which social secur-
ity payments affect the commun-
ity, declares Myron Milbouer, man
ager of the Wilmington Office of
the Social Security Administration.
This year old-age and survivors
insurance enters its seventeenth
year of operation. Over five mil
lion people are receiving 5000 mil
lion in insurance payments each
month. The total paid in 1853 to
these retired workers, their fami-
lies, and to dependent survivors of
deceased workers who were insur-
ed, will be more than $21s billion.
In the past sixteen years, Mr..
Milbouer believes, American fami-
lies have built up more protection
under Federal old-age and surviv-
ors insurance than they generally
realize.
For example, 500 of all jobs in
the country are covered by the
program, and 81 million persons
are now insured for benefits on
the basis of their employment in
covered work. Twenty-three mil
lion of these are permanently in
sured. Four out of five mothers
and children in the United States
are protected under the Federal
program in case of the death of the
family breadwinner. The total face
value of the life insurance protec-
ton underwritten by the system is
over $275 billion.
The local manager argues that
the program comes home to Della
ware in the form of added purch-
asing power where it is needed
most. Most of the wage earners,
their employers, and self-employed
people here pay social security
taxes regularly, which buys insur-
ance for them. But right now reg
nlar cash payments are going into
the homes of people who have re-
tired and to homes where the wage
Garner has died, to replace income
which has been lost.

drivers vision from frost, ice,
snow-covered windshield and snow
banks along the highway"
He pointed out that the mileage
death rate after darkness is about
three times that daytime death
rate.
Special studies" he said, "have
shown the drivers vision was OBJ
structed by snow or ice on the
windshield in about one out of 20
fatal accidents.
Snow, sleet and ice are the
chief causes of inadequate trac-
tion."
Mr.. DUPONT pointed out that ac-
cording to the studies, the wealth
er was rainy, foggy or snowy in
one out of six fatal accidents,
while wet, muddy, snowy or icy
roads were reported in one out of
five fatal accidents.
The answer, he said, is slow
down and use tire chains on your
car when snow and ice coat the
highway.
Mr.. DUPONT, speaking for the
Delaware Safety Council urged
every Delaware motorist to take
extra precautions during January
and particularly not to be caught
by 1.-THE Gruesoma Twosome" or

 Visitors in town Monday signed the guest book for the garden clubs and several of- fered their comments on the show: Words fail me, it is all so wonderful". "... Thanks for the very delightful surprise of seeing Kodiak's wonderful aowers"... Congratulations on a very unique and artistic show.
 Several visitors Monday asked for samples of local wildfowers and driftwood, and one woman, active in gar- den club work in her home town in Minnesota, took notes on the show for her clubs.
 Highly praised this year were the junior exhibits, and drawing much attention from Kodiakians and outsiders both were the vegetable displays, attractively arranged in one corner of the room.
 Her thanks to all those who made the show a success were voiced this week by Mrs. Hall. who mentioned Elliott Hymans of the USO, WVCQ, The Ko- diak Bear, Ben Benson and Paul Bond.

 Non-competitive this year, the show put on display 336 different exhibits, a large number of them featuring wildfowers and local materials such as shells, driftwood. stones, and sand.
 One room at the USO Club where the exhibit was held Sunday and Monday, was de- voted to a display of drift wood, gathered and mounted by members of both clubs.

May Help Fight
Fires From Air
By the A,,oeio,sd Pres,

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 15.-
Feasibility of combating forest
and brush fires from the air,
with er-carrying planes, is
being investigated by freight
ing agencies.
Chief Keith Klinger of the
Los Angeles County Fire Depart
ment said a four -engine trans
port dumped 1000 gallons Of
water on simulated brush fire
in a recent test at Rosamond
Dry Lake. near Lancaster, Calf.
The results, he said, were en-
couraging.
County, City, State and Fed
eral f1re-flghting agencies are
interested in the tests. officials
said the aerial technique is be-
ing considered not so much as
means of suppression, but as
method of checking the spread
of a fire, or perhaps aiding in
the rescue of trapped personnel.
The possibility of fighting fire
from the. air was suggested by
Donald w. Douglas, jr.. vice
president of the Douglas Air
craft Co. Mr.. Klinger and James
K. Mace, deputy State forester,
said such military transports as
the C-74 and CHA are capable
of carrying as much as 10000
gallons of water.
