"Our
Growing Edge"
MRS. MARTHA GLOTFELTY
Congratulations to Allen

congratulations to Allen
Two weeks ago in this column,
| offered my congratulations to
every member Of our graduating
classes here in the County. This
week, | would like to offer my
special congratulations to one boy,
Allen Georg, President Of the
Senior Class and graduate of
Northern High School.
Why would | want to speak es-
pecially of him? Because for the
first time in years, at least that
have heard, he paid a tribute to
some folks who have long deserved
it. Speaking as the class presi-
dent, and for them all individually,
he paid a public tribute to all Of
their parents | do not know wheth-
en- the idea was his own, his counse-
lors, or all the teachers, but think
it was fitting and deserved trib-
ute, and | am sure it warmed the
hearts of the parents who heard it.
After giving credit to all the
powers that be- the Superintendent
Of Schools, Board Of Education,
faculty, etc, it was nice to remcm-
Der the parents. would not in any
way detract from giving them the
credit due them, but somehow or
other when the laurels are passed
out the parents are usually over
looked.
1t seems to be a popular indoor
pastime to find fault with every
thing parent does. He is either
too old-fashioned, entirely out
NODDED, or just lets the kids do as
they please. All juvenile Delinquent
cy can be traced to parents, so
they say. You can scarcely pick up
a magazine or paper that does not
lay it on the line about our colos-
sal failure as parents.
Junior acts up at school as most
kids have always done, and al
ways will do Who is to blame?
Not Junior, no, indeed. He is the
innocent victim Of mother who
spoils him, never makes him take
responsibility. Mary Jane is bov
crazy. giggles all the time. pavs
no attention to the teacher. Is Mary
Jane to blame? Not Mary Jane. but
her father and mother who con
stantly spoil her. and let her do
anything She plcases at home
How true are these charges
hurled at parents TODAY? Right
here and now. wish to saw as =
fairly intelligent parent | am sick
and tired of it, and | do not be-
lieve it is entirely true.
Let us take the case of Junior
His father and mother have been
doing their very best to oct hin,
to take responsibility. as they have
with Mary Jane. Who is able 70
say their actions are the fault of
their parents? Partly, but not all.
Many other factors and forces en-
ter into the picture.
Anyone who read Dorothy
Thompson's recent article. a re-
member Me-" will know what |
mean when | saw parents could not
be to blame entirely for eitbe,.

Check Structural Boord CIoseIy
By DouoIos Tuomey

There is q lot Of difference
between the way new houses are
built and the manner In which
old houses were built. Much Of
the difference is in the materials
used in the construction. The
main trouble with new buildings
is that some substantial manu-
factllrer. or his engineering stan,
developed q good. solid substi-
tute for something, and then
along comes an imitator with
an inferior product which is
used in the same manner and
looks like the good item.
A large percentage Of the
small houses being erected today
do not have wood sheathing
covering the frame, but use q
structural board Of some kind
instead.
The shingles are then nailed
into these sheets. II this board
is Of good quality you have q
sturdy job, but when 1t is made
Of cheap. spongy material you

Citizens Federations
Urged 10 Promote
Civil Defense ACTIVITY

The Inter-Federation Council
last night asked member fedora
tionS to urge citizens to take a
greater active part in civil de-
fense programs.
Herbert P. Leeman, a member
of the Commissioners Advisory
Council on Civil Defense, said
the public impression that all
previous civil defense prepara-
ton has been outdated by the
hydrogen bomb is wrong.
Planning Still Effective.
Civil defense is not in con-
fusion, Mr.. Leeman said. AL
though present plans will have
to be revised in some respects,
much of that already planned
would be effective for any kind
of attack.
In urging citizens to volunteer
for fire, police and warden Serv-
ice. Mr.. Leeman said the prob
lens of evacuation and feeding
and sheltering evacuated popula-
ton remain basically the same.
The council also asked its
Education Committee to study
ways of eliminating competition
among teachers salaries in the
District and surrounding coun-
ties. The committee was in
Structed to work out a satiSfac-
tory relationship among the diff
ferent salary scales to prevent
teachers from tending to go to
the higher paid areas.

Mrs. Irma Bogdanoff, secretary
of the council, and Walter F.
Mulligan, chairman of the Edu-
cation Committee, were recon-
mended by the council to serve
as permanent members of the

Navy Wife
Tells Story
OF kidnapping

CAMBRIDGE, Ohio R A 26-
year year Pennsylvania woman
walked into the state highway pa
troll headquarters here early today
and reported she had been kid
naped by a stranger who forced
his way into her car at the inter-
section of routes 80 and 22 some
20 miles west of Pittsburgh.
She told officers he might have
been hurt in a mishap after leav-
ing the car.
A few minutes later state patrol
men found Charles F. Noonan, rs,
lying about 80 feet off us. 40
about one mile east of Cambridge
with both ankles broken.
F6l Probes
He was taken to Guernsey Me-
mortal Hospital here. A Federal
Bureau of Investigation agent ar
rived to investigate. The patrol
said charge of kidnapping and
transporting. victim across a
state line was being prepared.
The kidnap victim was Mrs.
Clarence B. Lang. 26, of 121 w.
Edna St., Homestead Park, Pa.
She gave patrolmen this version:
Mrs. Lang was driving to an
airport near her home to meet
her husband, chief boatswain's
mate in the Navy. She stopped for
traffic at the intersection. Noonan,
who later gave police the Column
bus YMCA and the National Hotel
Of Cambridge as his addresses,
walked to her car, opened the door
put his suitcase in the car and
slid in the seat beside her.
Forced To Drive
Mrs. Lang said he pointed to
his pocket-she thought he was in
dicating he had a ordered
her to drive on and observe all
traffic laws. She said he informed
her she was being kidnapped.
When the car reached a motel
mile east Of Cambridge, Mrs.
Lang said Noonan got out, taking
the car key with him, but failed
to lock the ignition.
Mrs. Lang said she got the car
started, but in her excitement
stalled the engine. She had taken
the precaution of locking the car
doors from the inside, but Noonan
came charging back to the car
and forced the front ventilator
open.
