Navy Seeking
Revenge for
Close 81 Loss
BY BILL FUCHS
star staa CORRESPONDENT

BALTIMORE. oct. 8.-Fifty-
one weeks arter dropping a bruis-
ing two-point decision at Pitts
burgh. Navy goes out to take
Its measure of revenge In Balti-
more Memorial Stadium at 2
pm. today.
A gathering OF about 10000,
surprisingly meager considering
the attraction and the stadium's
capacity Of 10000 seats. was ex-
lpected. Navy ranked a 7-poini
Ifayorite.
One Of two narrow defeats
suffered by the Middies last year,
Ia 21-19 loss to the then winless
Painters, has ranked ever since,
For one thing, Navy fumbles
led to two Pitt scores. For an
other, the bigger. crushing Pan
lthers left the Middies physically
hurting. Quarterback George
Welsh left the skin Of his nose
lin the game, and End Ron
Beagle suffered a badly torn
mouth.
Navy Eyes Top Ten
r
The stakes were high today
Navy. ranked 18th in the latest
Associated Press poll, wants to
move back into the top 10. Pitt
wants to prove 1t belongs among
the Nations powers after giving
some evidence by whipping
California and Syracuse and dis
Itinguishing itself In q 26-14 loss
ito Third-ranked Oklahoma.
The central figures in today,s
case were George Welsh and
Cornelius Salvaterra, the OPP
posing quarterbacks. Pittsburgh
lowed much Of its victory last
year to the 6-foot, 190-pound
ISalvaterra, whose passes set up
two touchdowns and who scored
two himself. One pass was a So
yard beauty to End Fred Glatz,
who was voted lineman Of the
week for that game. Glatz, nov
a junior, ranks third among
Pitts capable ends behind Joe
Walton. Salvaterra's favorite
target this season, and John
Paluck.
There should be passing
thrills aplenty. for Welsh takes
no back seat In that depart
ment. Quiet George, some 80
pounds lighter than his OPP
posite number. has completed
II OF rs passes in two games
and threw IL for Is last Satur-
day against South Carolina.
Beagles His Pet Target
Welsh's favorite target is
Beagle. an AlI-American and
winner of the Maxwell Trophy
last season. Beagle missed the
opener against William g. Mary,
but made up for that by catch
ing four of Welsh's throws last
week for gains totaling 81 yards.
Jim Roger. right tackle. has
ia shoulder injury and was not
expected to see much, il any,
faction for Navy today. Jim
Hover, right guard. has been
hobbling around with a leg in
jury. and was expected to give
way in the starting lineup to
Tony Stremic.
The Panthers were reported
in good shape except for Herm
canil, starting right tackle, who
had a knee injury and was to
be replaced by either Howard
Linn or Rom KisSel.
Both teams figured to mix a
good measure OF running plays
with the passing.

Anaconda Bumps Price
OF Copper Another
Three Cents A Pound

For the second time in two weeks
the Anaconda Company has jumped
the price of copper by substantial
amounts per pound. Two weeks ago,
Anaconda boosted the price of the
short-supply metal from SO to 40
cents a pound and Immediately
thereafter, other copper producing
companies followed suit. Then, last
week, ACM gave the inflationary
spiral another shot in the arm by
upping the price TO 43 cents.
The new 43 cents per pound
price represents an increase of
more than forty per cent in copper
price since January / of this year.
AT that time copper was selling at
80 cents a pound.
The latest copper price boost is
being reflected on the New York
Stock Exchange. Anaconda common
stock is now over 80 dollars a share
"a gain in paper values for stock
holders of almost three dollars a
share in a single week.

/ Before long the acute maternal
pains lessen, however, when we find
none of the drastic things that strike
fear into our hearts actually happen.
But how interested do we get in the
surroundings that we project our
darlings into for six hours day?
Do we think less and less of the
day to day scholastic accomplishments
of our kids? Are we satisfied that
they should only be protected from
the drastic things in life and there
fore ignore the positive influences
in their lives?
ION THE THRESHOLD"
D. D. Cooper, executive secretary
of the Montana Education Associa-
ton, says it is the children and even
tually the entire state who reap the
benefits of having our schools stated
with competent, well-qualified pro-
fessional teachers. Conversely, if our
schools, or a goodly number of them
have to be manned by incompetent
and poorly qualified people, then the
youngsters and the future well-being
of the state will suffer, and Mr..
Cooper says, eve are on the threshold
of the latter situation"
He says two factors will determine
the future success or failure of our
efforts to provide every school with
professional, well-qualified teachers:
First, an adequate salary that will
be competitive with those offered in
other professions requiring similar
amount of training; and second,
greater recognition on the part of
the general public of the Importance
and professional status of teachers.
A friend once said to me, "Child-
rem grow up and amount to some
thing in spite of their parents, not
because of them''-what a terrible
thought.
But what about it? In America we
feed our kids the best food, we put
the best clothes on their backs, we
guard their health from the cradle
with good medical care, and then
we send them to schools, manned with
teachers, that we pay embarrassingly
low wages, to develop their minds,
without which none of the rest can
mean much.

the first day of school.
1t is long, long time, it seems
since we sent our first one off to
school for the first time. He would
not let me go with him and as
watched him walk down the road in
his new clothes, so pleased with him
self, the butterflies in my stomach
made it impossible to settle down
all morning. | watched the clock and
looked out the window long before
it was time for him to come home at
noon, and he was in no hurry.
1t was the beginning of new era,
for him and for us. For six hours a
day he was going to be in the hands
of someone else for training that
would be the beginning of many years
of mental development.
Would his teachers understand
him? Would they be able to take the
time to appreciate and develop his
good points and cope with his faults?
Would his teachers be patient in guild
ing him in his first mass association
with society? Had we done the kind
of job the first six years that would
make him adapt to school and CO.
operate with the teachers?

adopted:
WHEREAS, the present tax of A
mills on the taxable valuation of
sheep for the support of the Live

Commission. and the Bounty Fund,
is inadequate to afford the needed

cies, and,

equivalent, on sheep for the support
of these two Boards and the Bounty
