so may we build our spiritual life on the
greatest rock of all-the Bible!

WHAT is EDUCATION?
nnA e nlr1nnhin,n 2


That question is susceptible to many
answers. An interesting one is given by U.
S. Commissioner of Education BroWnel in
an article appearing in TOdays Health, a
publication of the American Medical AssO-
citation. To him, education is ''an investment
in the guidance and growth-mental physi-
cal and spiritual-of today's children, youth
and adults" He adds, ct is an investment
protected always by community tradition,
local pride and responsibility for the school"
Commissioner Brownells article bears
the title Challenges to Our Schools" As
everyone who reads the papers and maga-
zines knows, these challenges are very real
and in many instances severe today. Their
most obvious manifestation is found in over
crowding Of the schools and an insuficiency
of teachers and class rooms. In addition
there are less publicized problems-includ-
ing that of health, with which the BrOWnell
article is largely concerned.
Our population growth has been enor-
mOus-the census rolls have swelled by s.
100000 in less than two years The Commits
siOner quotes government official as stating
that "the stOrk has displaced the eagle as
the most representative American bird"
The 1856 academic year will see record
school enrolment. There will be some 36,-
718,000 youngsters in the public and nom
public elementary schools, and an additional
2,839,000 students in colleges and universi-
ties.
And this, the Commissioner points out, is
only the beginning When the l959-6O school
year rolls around, it is estimated that the
public elementary and secondary schools
salOne will have an enrolment of 37,365,0OO,
fand students in non-public schools will up
the figure to 42,818,0O0.
Statistics, Commissioner BrOWnel OBJ
serves, challenge leaders in health as well
as those in education" Some 28,OOO,0O0
I Americans are estimated to have some known
chronic disease, physical impairment or men
tai disorder. 1t is predicted that one in IL of
u. S. children will spend some time in a men
tai institution Accidents claim the lives and
health of the young as well as their elders,
which has led to many schools adopting motor
vehicle instruction as part of the curricula.
Juvenile delinquency is a related problem
which grows steadily more critical-Dr.
Brownell believes that educators and health
specialists can probably do much in a pre-
ventive way" There are nearly 100000
children who need specialized educational at
tehtion because of physical, emotional, mental
and other abnOrmalities And we still have
q long way to go in erSdicating illiteracy. To
quote him again, ''We have a nation wide
problem of educating the physically and mem
tally handicapped child as well as the espe-
to improve school health programs"
The Commissioner clearly, is optimistic
as to future achievement. Great progress has
been made in school health programs, and
the remaining problems are soluble. These
problems are, he says, of concern to federal
and state gOvernments-"bu primary re
spOnsible for their solution rests with lOca
communities and citizens"

UNCERTAIN EXLE

It Is a Tar cry from tne aDSOIuTe rue OF
"a great country to an uncertain residence in
Paraguay. But the lot Of Juan D. PerOn is
like that Of other toppled autOcrats.
Latin America, the land of dictatOrs, has
sent number Of despots into exile. Ameri-
cans of former generation will remember
PorfiriO Diaz, absolute ruler of Mexico for
over 80 years. In his way he won praise from
the unthinking who asked only that ruler
keep order and not interfere with invest
ments Diaz did that and nothing for the
welfare of his people. In 1910 Mexico had
had enough of him and he fled to Paris where
he lived a few years more on the profits
from his dictatorship.
1t is not certain that Peron will not return
in triumph to Argentina. His future is not
sure nor is it secure. 1t may be so insecure
that he'll be grateful to be allowed to join the
dictatOrs-in-exile class Of Diaz.

do any deep thinkin'.
The lights on the 18th Street
railroad crossing. They look nice,
but 1 still think that it is waste
of good money. That money and
the up-keep should have been ap-
piled on the construction of an
underpass. That is the only sure
cure to that traffic hazard that
/ can possibly see. The sooner the
city, county and railroad get to-
gether and build an underpass,
the better off everyone will be,
both from a standpoint of safety
and finance.

Seems as tho usually make good
resolutions, I'll shop early, but L
usually wind up the night before
Christmas in one grand rush. 1t
certainly isn't a good way TO do
it though. 1 get a poorer selec-
ton and often pay more. Certain
ly 1 get my feet stepped on, but
that is no advantage, besides it
hurts.

Conventions Apportionment Proposal For Alaska States Election Districts Draws Strong Objection At Hearing

that of apportionment of election districts for the House, with the feeling that the military are still urging for a military reservation on the arctic-coastal slope, which might change the picture consid- erably. It was felt apportionment was premature.
 The judicial department calls for five judges, who serve a three year probationary period before being accepted for a 12-year term of office The constitution also provides that any court in the new state may try a case from diff ferent area if necessary.
 The question was raised about native reservations and aboriginal rights. One citizen, native born, expressed the hope that Eskimos will be treated like any other citi- zen; that they did not want reser- vations or handouts, but the right to make their own way like any body else "When America took Alaska from Russia and made us Americans, that is enough for us," stated Unalakleet resident who would like to see that village talk en off the reservation status.
 Mrs. Hermann and MT. McNees ably explained the other phases of the constitution, stating that this is the most complete representa- ton of AlaskanS ever to be held, with people from both remote and scattered areas working hard and most conscientiously to turn out the best constitution ever to be written. By coincidence, she stat ed, the delegates who drafted the Constitution of the United States were also 55 in number.
 She urged individuals and or ganizationS not to hesitate to ex- press their views to the members of the convention and as soon as possible.

Formula for Success And Happiness: More Arguments In Family

LOS ANGELES, R-Want to be happier and more successful? Then argue more, advises educa tor pr. Leonard Riggleman.
 Family arguments are a good thing" said Riggleman, president of Morris Harvey College, at Charleston, w. Va. "They can bring a family closer over period of time"
 Speaking yesterday at the Speech and Theater Conference, Riggleman added:
 Although arguments may tend to divide family immediately all members of the family will come to better understandings over a period of time and each member will have matured to bet ter advantage for having argued his own point of view"
 Arguing also makes a person more successful in business, he said, because men's minds develop best through intellectual combat.
 Riggleman said it's good to ar que even if you don't know what you're talking about, because:
 "The lack of information or facts is no deterrent to a good ar gument."

'55 Traffic Deaths Estimated at $500, Highest Since 1914

CHICAGO, R-The National Safety Council today estimated the 1855 traffic death toll at 38,5OO- the highest in IA years.
 The estimate came as much of the nation took emergency action to hold down the frightening toll over the next three days, a New Year holiday which safety off cials fear will set another record for deaths on the highways.
 The figure would top last years Safety Council figure of 36,OOO deaths and is some 5000 more than the 33,417 US. soldiers, sail ors, marines and airmen killed in the 37 months of the Korean War.
 It would be the greatest year long traffic toll since the record of 39,969 in 1941.
 Last weekend-termed "Black Christmas by safety experts emphasized the mounting high way tolls and caused many states to order stringent enforcement ef- forts for the New Year weekend,
 A new record for any holiday in history, 629 Americans, died out right in Christmas accidents. And 34 others died in the following two and half days from injuries suffered over Christmas.

A very comprehensive survey of the Alaska Constitution was pre- sented to the people of Nome at a meeting Wednesday evening in the School Auditorium. Mildred Hermann, delegate at large, and John McNees, Second Division delegate, presided and answered all questions.
 Highlights of the presentation of the many parts of the constitu- tion, none of which has been vot- ed upon by the entire group until after the Christmas recess, includ- ed many interesting features, most of which were unchallenged by those attending the meeting.
 The executive branch of the new state government provides for an elected governor and secre- tary of state, with all other offices being filled by appointment by the governor.
 The legislative branch provides for 20 senators and 40 representa- tives chosen from 24 election dis tricts, determined by social eco- homie principal of apportionment. This was explained by McNees, who showed how the districts were set up to conform with geo. graphic outlines or mountain ridg- es for boundaries, sometimes called the watershed method
 From the discussion it appeared that four judicial districts would probably also have bearing on the selection of senators at large The First Division would have a total of 5, senators; Second Divi- sion, 4; Third Division, 6; and the Fourth Division 5.
 This drew criticism from the floor, as it was felt by many pres ent that an equal division of Sena- tors should be from all four divi- Sions

Senate-HOuse Committee Warns Tax Cuts Might Start Imitation Trend

WASHINGTON, R-A Senate House economic subcommittee to- day held up go-slow sign against any precipitate tax cutting moves in the 1856 congressional session.
 "A tax rate reduction next year in the face of booming economy might well be inflationary," said a report signed by two Democrats and two Republicans on the tax policy subcommittee.
 It held out hope, however, that if things go well in the next 10 years, taxes may be cut perhaps by as much as one-third" in that period.

NORFOLK, Va, R-A hearing on embezzlement charges against Miss Minnie C. Mangum was post poned today as auditors continued to search her firms records to find the total of shortages that may top one million dollars.
 The 52-year-old plumpish wom- an, known for her charities and lavish gifts to friends, was arrest ed yesterday as she left her law yer's office, booked, and released in bailsof $25,0O0.
 Miss Magnun, a 9,OOO-a-year assistant secretary-treasurer of the Commonwealth Building & Loan Assn, was charged with embez- zling $100,000 from the firm over the past 12 months.
 The firms attorney said he had been advised of additional irreg- ularities that would run to at least $800,000, beyond the $1O0, ,O00 over a 'five-year period. The com pany is one of the largest of it's kind in eastern Virginia.
 A spokesman said the company l has recovered assets valued at l $2OO,OOO from Miss Manguun, in cluding eight houses worth $50,- 900. One of the homes was the modest bungalow where she lived with her sister in Portsmouth.

3 Dionne Quints Home to Settle Family Difference

NORTH BAY, Ont, R-Three of the Dionne quintuplets arrived at the family mansion at Callan- der, Ont, today to talk things over with their parents.
 MT. and Mrs. Oliva Dionne, who this week publicly accused the surviving quints of leaving the family fold and living in the big city, were not at the door to meet them.
 A source close to the family said, Mrs. Dionne was "very, very upset during the night"
 In the car were Yvonne, Cecile and Annette, and their brother, a 19-year-old Canadian airman, who accompanied the girls.
 The fourth surviving quint Marie, did not go home with her sisters because she felt the trip would be too much of a strain. She was released from hospital recently.
 The purpose of the trip home was to settle differences which in three days stirred up almost as many headlines as the near-mir- acle of the quints' birth 21 years ago.

State Department Releases Further Yalta Documents

WASHINGTON, R-The late Secretary of State Cordell Hull once angrily told fellow members of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Cab inet his former No. l aide, Sumner Welles, seemed to be operating a second State Department" without interference from Roosevelt.
 The late Joseph Stalin plainly told Roosevelt soon after the 1945 Yalta- conference that he intended to have in Poland a government which would establish friendly relations" with the Soviet Union
 Moscow advised the United States in advance of Yalta that it wanted to break up Germany into smaller nations, "demilitarize Ger man industry" and collect repar- ations in machinery over a To- year period.
 These and other fragments o1 history are disclosed in the publi cation of more than 40 previously secret documents bearing on the Yalta conference.
 The State Department printed the documents together with z vast accumulation of other papers in a 1,O32-page volume put on sale by the Govt. Printing Office.
 Only these 40 or so items are new, and most of them deal with minor developments of the 1944- 45 period. The great bulk of the Yalta papers were made public last March. Now the whole collec- tion has become available in book form at $5.50 a copy.

LITTLE AMERICA, LR - The Stars and Stripes were raised again Thursday at Little America.
 The site of the first two camps built in the Antarctic by Rear Adm. Richard Byrd was desolate.
 The buildings of the first camp built in 1928 were covered by an estimated 60 feet of snow and ice. The second camp is about 40 feet below us.
 All we found on the surface at 3 am. Thursday were the tops of towers and poles. The light was clear and bright with the sun well up over the horizon

Photo of Rebel Being Shot by Gendarme Is Issue in French Campaign

PARIS, RAPictures taken in Algeria last fall, showing French gendarme shooting down a rebel, became a last-minute issue today in the campaign for Mondays na- tional elections.
 Georges Chassagne, Algerian correspondent for an American newsreel company, denied ''the scandalous accusations" that he bribed the gendarme to kill the rebel for a newsreel shot.
 The charges were first made in the newspaper L'Erpress, former Premier Mendes-France's organ. Later the government said the story was true and the Interior Ministry said it had filed bribery charges against the cameraman and the gendarme.
 Premier Faure accused LEX press of acting for electoral ends and of losing sight of the ele- mentary sense of national inter est" Faure and Mendes France are foes in the election.

Army Experiments With One-Man Flying Machine For Infantrymen's Use

WASHINGTON, R-The Army is experimenting with a new one man flying machine which it says an infantryman can learn to pilot in 20 minutes.
 Twelve of the contraptions, called 'faerocycles," have been bought for tests that are part of the Army'S continuing effort to increase the mobility of foot sol diers."
 The Army said yesterday the machines were bought from De- Lackner Helicopter, Inc, Mount Vernon, NY, which developed them.
 The aerocycle bears a resem- blance both to small helicopters and the Navy's flying platform. :"
 The pilot stands on a platform over rotor blades and guides the machine by leaning in the direc- tion he wants to go. Speeds up to 65 miles an hour are attained by manipulating a hand throttle.

Anchorage In State of Emergency
 In Worst Winter Storm Since l936
BY THE, ASSOCIATED PRESS

Two Alaska cities were ir1 a "state of emergency" today as snow inched upwards in the terri tory's worst winter storm in two decades.
 The storm snarled traffic, closed airports, blocked roads and high ways and hampered rail travel from Cordova on Prince William Sound to Fairbanks in central AL aSka.
 And no relief was in sight. The weather bureau predicted more snow accompanied by cold wave which could send temperatures to 50 below zero in some areas.
 With 40 inches on the ground and more snow falling, Mayor Ken Hinchey of Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, called on it's 50,O0O residents to shut down their buSi- neSSeS and remain in their homes.
 Abandoned cars blocked streets and alleyways, roads and high ways were piled high with drifts.
 Emergency conditions also ex- isted at Cordova, where rain fal- lowed days of heavy snow.
 Central Alaska also was hard hit. The heaviest snowfall since 1886 closed the Alaska and Rich ardson Highways at Fairbanks. Drifts stalled passenger train at Healy and a freight train was tied up at Curry.
 The weather bureau said 23.6 inches of snow had fallen at Fair banks since Dec. l, the heaviest since 1886.
 Mayor Hinchey declared the "state of emergency" at Anchor age after a meeting with the city council Thursday night. In sub- sequent radio and television ap- peals, he urged all residents to stay away from downtown An chorage, reserving the streets for emergency use only.
 Ty Clark of the Anchorage Times said that all available road equipment was working on the streets but "hardly made a dent" in the snow Thursday.
 Clark said with all road equip ment assigned to snow removal, city firemen had built wooden snowplows and attached them to the front of the fire trucks.
 A minor earthquake added to Anchorage's woes. The tremor rattled dishes and shook windows at 6:05 am. Thursday but caused no serious damage.
