she (Miss Susan Hayes, 23' told
us are not consistent with testi-

Both DR.. Sheppard and Miss

A TEACHER COMMENTS
Editor, The Citizen /:

Editor, The Citizen:
Being ex-school teacher and Sunday school teach
'er would like to answer Wednesdays inquirer
corning whether teachers should attend church services
to set good example for the children who entrusted
to their care
Our church and state seperate factors. it were
not there would always be those who would dictate
as to which church each teacher should attend.
Thank heaven this is America, where each of us can
worship God conscience Dictates instead of az
some other human being dictates.
Some people prefer to worship their Creator in the
quiet of their homes Some enjoy and profit greatly by
radio sermons Some feel to him out in the wide
open Spaces where they hear the STILL small voice.
Who you and to judge what is in each teachers
heart.
Dressing up and attending church to impress the
pupils nonsensical parent dressing up and at
tending church to impress the teacher.
To quote from wel-known author: mo one but
God and know what is in my heart"
My teachers certificate states that must be of good
moral character and have adequate knowledge of the
theory and practice of teaching 1t does not state that
must impress my pupils by worshipping in church
synagogue.
1t is the parents blessed privilege to send
pany their children to the churches of their choice.

Says

NEW YORK R-It has always
been my contention that children
are more intelligent than grown
ups.
One sign of intelligence is the
ability to get what you really
need or want out of life.
And the Christmas season is the
time when the kids best show their
mental superiority over adults in
this respect. A child knows exactly
the presents he wants, and he
knows the right technique for get
ting them.
The little boys and girls get out
their school pads and pencils and
write letters such as the following:
Dear Santa Claus,
81 am littul girl just ate yaras
old. Boy, have l ben good girl. I
ben so good my mommy says if

This Rock
Of Ours

Admiral Towner's tour of duty
will soon be up here in Key West.
I've never met the man but I've
had the opportunity to observe
much of the good that has been
accomplished under his command.
'Ihis Rock of Ours will hate to
see him 60.
Gossip fabricates all sorts Of
tales whenever high ranking
officer is transferred. Towner is
naturally coming in for his share
of this kind of talk now. Insofar as
! can determine, his transfer is a
natural result of the passage of
time - admirals don't stay long at
a small base.
Towner took over command
here when emnity between civilian
and military personnel was at an
all time high and morale was
at an equally all time low. Folks
who stay in the shelter of their
home most of the time will find it
hard to realize just how rapidly
Key West was settling into a sloth-
full, vice-ridden town.
There are those who say Town
er assumed a dictatorial attitude
toward civilians. 1t is an unjust
accusation - Towner merely push
ed regulations to protect his own
men. That enforcement of these re-
gulations hurt unsavory businesses
was natural result. Today, our
police force is shaping into a much
better organization, our streets are
safer to walk upon, there are
fewer cases Of prowling, attempt
ed rapes, etc., all as an indirect
result of ToMner's strictness with
his own command and his requests
for proper cooperation from civic
officials.
AS I say, I've never met Town
er. It hasn't been necessary. When

himself the symbol Of anticommu-
nism, he cannot claim he alone
has looked for Communists or
fought them.
The Truman admistration had
a loyalty program before Nc
Carthy started. And the Eisenhow-
er administration, with less sensa-
tionalism than Mccarthy, has con-
tinued hunting Communists with a
program of its own. Congressional
committees probed for Reds during
both administrations.
Just as Longs following might
have caused trouble for Roosevelt
in 1886, McCarthy's following, if
he can hold on to it, may cause
trouble for the Eisenhower wing of
the Republican party in the 1856
elections.
Mccarthy, disclaiming any pres
idential ambitions of his own, says
he will continue searching for Com
munists in the government. This
can hardly mean less than a Re-
publican family fight, as it did this
year.
But McCarthy's power in the Re-
publican party depends upon the
following he can hold. And unless
he produces more results than he
has In the first two years Of the
Republican administration, his con-
centration on the same theme and
no other - anticommunism =
may bore even his followers.
