First Graders Give Interesting
Accounts OF Trip 10 Dairy

THE thing I liked best about
our trip to the dairy was seeing
the buffalo," said the small first
grade boy as he related the high
lights of his trip to the Greer
Acres Dairy at Bethel last week
with the first grade students from
the Tabor City School.
Actually the small lad had seen
a bull and had forgotten what il
was when quizZed; however, the
trip was an informative one and
part of the progressive steps
being taken in our schools to &C
quaint the children with the
things they are studying.
First grade students have been
studying about farms and diaries
and the teachers, Jacqueline Mi
shoe and Florabelle Gore, thought
trip to one Of these places would
be far more valuable than any
other one thing.
1t was a move to help the chill
dren appreciate the farm as a
source of their food and clothing
as well as becoming aware and
appreciative of their natural en-
vironment.
All of the children followed the
move to the "T"; however, they
were more interested in what was
going on than the educational val
ue involved. At least, they were
more aware of the former.
1t wasn't entirely new to them
since they had been discussing
farm duties in class as well as
bringing in toy animals and farm
pictures.
These are the quotes selected
from the series of events related
by the children who acted a:
spokesman for the class.
Pat Counts, 7, son of MIR. anc
Mrs. r. P. Counts, briefed the re,
porter on events leading up to TIT
trip.
I'VE had been reading farm
stories In school and we decide,
TO go to the dairy. The cows wer
in the pasture when we got Their
so MIR. Cox, owner Of the dairy
showed us where he kept tn
butter and feed" said Pat befor
turning the floor over to the mex
spokesman, Mackey Sarvis.
Mackey, son of Mr.. and Mrs. M
{. Sarvis, said, 1--WE saw COW
MIXED with electric mixers. The
all formed a straight line from tn
field to the barn. Milk take,
from the cows was cooled and
man comes every week and check
TO see which COW gives the mos
milk and butter"
Ronnie House, 7, son of Mr.. an,
Mrs. Kenneth House, exclaimed.
II saw bull that weighed 24O
pounds and wasn't but four year
oldl'
His memory was very good a
he told about the milk coole
which was almost like a dee,

ready had ice in the bottom.
The cows were named an
liked music. They told us tina

Sees Them WronQ
BY the Assoeiated Press

NEW ORLEANS, April "a
Speaker of the House Joseph
w. Martin. jr., Republican of
Massachusetts,, said today "the
gloom and doom peddlers are as
wrong as anyone can be-"
Representative Martin made
the statement in an address pre-
pared for delivery to the closing
session of the annual convention
of the American Cotton Manu-
facturers Institute.
He said the merchants of
pessimism" took the "unfavor-
able factors which do unques-
tionably exist in the economy,
and they have overstated and
over-emphasized them to the ex-
clusion of the countless favorable
factors which also exist"
Cites IA Years of War.
Mr.. Martin said the "underly-
ing cause of this adjustment"
was a transition from IA years
of war and its multitude of af-
ter effects to an economy based
on what we hope will be per-
manent peace"
He said "the administration is
fully aware of the adjustment
through which the country is
now moving.
1--WE realize that some sectors
of the economy and some parts
of the country have been af-
fected considerably more than
others. We realize that for those
who have been affected, the ad-
justment is very important one
indeed.
"And we realize that realistic
thinking and discussion are es-
Sential."
Mr.. Martin added that to
switch from a war economy ito
one based primarily on peace
time conditions is not easy. 1t
entails the best that is in all of
us, and it entails sacrifice by
some. :"
Mr.. Martin said the Govern
ment had endeavored to "place
more purchasing power in the
hands of consumers, as we'll as
business firms" to lease and
speed the transition from war to
peace"

Mr.. Ryan said that at the
height of World War II mass
bombings, he asked Orville

brother had anticipated the mil

"As I listened to Orville
Wright that night" Mr.. Ryan
said, Il thought of the keen
disappointment and disilluSion-
ment he must have felt as he
saw the devastating power of
the airplane.
But as I reflect upon the
benefits which aviation has pro-
