It Runs Through
My Mind
Our Next Door Neighbor

Our Next Door Neighbor
Twice, lately, have had a
chance to sec faculty and some
students of Frostburg State Teach
crs' college and have been i'm
pressed with their alCrtness. Then
| remembered talking to two of
the faculty at our high school, ca
reer days, and again recall tone
of quality
| wonder if Garrett county is
making as much use of our close
at-hand college as we might When
| think of the many high school
students who could use a college
education to such an advantage,
but have never been brought up
with the idea that college was
meant for them, it makes me rea-
lie that all of us need to do a
little pushing.
Young people without adequate
funds should be encouraged TO
strike out for themselves and get
an education. Most of them lack
the nerve to borrow money or
even to inquire about scholar
ships. However, they are not
afraid of work
Those of us who went to college
on a shoe-string a generation ago
know that it was because of moral
support rather than financial sup
port that helped us most.

Well, after he was made man
ager of the gas company he was
put through some new kind of
ropes. That's when the picture
was taken
He was baking a cake! White
apron, white cap, white shirt. He
was applying white icing. The men
were given a demonstration by
one of their home economists and
then told to go to work. l believe
the motive was not to teach men
to cook, but to acquaint them with
oven baking.
What happened? The men loved
it,
Now Russ can change his tune
to Now that you've come, I'll
stir you up cake Or maybe it
will be You sing, Ruth, while |
bake" Now wouldn't that be nice!

Over the years in camps where
we've had to select a few top
campers for awards and trips, I've
used a good stick in measuring
that can't be beat, l feel.
Throughout the week | select
boys and girls that | would choose
for my own sons and daughters.
It's the toughest kind of gauge
Then, when they're selected
strangely they are always in the
upper group l wish my own could
measure up to them.
Now | notice that President
Eisenhower remarked, when asked
how to choose good prospects for
office, that it's not too difficult.
The question is whether the can
didate is the type of person you
would be glad to have your son

sister marry Not from the stand

character"

Better Break for Witnesses

The House Rules Committee has done
constructive days work in reporting out
the resolution submitted by Representative
Doyle, Democrat, of California.
This resolution proposes variety Of
safeguards for the benefit Of witnesses ap-
pearing before congressional committees.
No set rules or regulations will prevent all
abuse Of witnesses, for this is matter
which is governed in considerable degree by
the attitudes, the taste for fair or unfair
play, of individual congressman. But MIR.
Doyles proposals, If adopted, should curb
the worst abuses, especially the one-man
inquistions of recent memory. It is to be
hoped that the House will enact the pro-
posals now before it, and that the Senate
will take comparable action.

Spelling Isn't Everything

There. is no shortage Of critics Of our
public schools. Some, however, are
more exasperating than others. Such
one is &c. H." whose letter equates
today's poorer spoilers" with mental
cripples.
This may be so. Yet I always liked
Will Shakespeares stuff. even though
he did not consistently spell his own
name the same way. Meriwether Lewis
sent valuable and accurate scientific
information back to President Thomas
Jefferson though he had not mastered
Noah Websters Blue Backed Speller."
Honest John Adams was a driving force
for the American Revolution and an
architect of government though he
knew no spelling and did not know
when to capitalize word.
If spelling is to be so important, by
all means let us change the rules so
that word with given pronunciation
can be spelled only one way. If child
thinks that the "gh" in laugh or, the
''ph" in phobia are really "f's," he
seems to me more logical than his elders,
though some will want to beat more
sense into him.
Seriously. there was a series Of ar
ticles in The Star about q year ago
entitled If remember correctly. What
Is Wrong With Our Schools" Included
in these articles was a report on tests
which indicated that while children in
today's schools did not spell quite as
well, they did understand and retain
more of what they had read. This Is no
small accomplishment!

years ago at the old Park Theater, New
York, is celebrating his hundredth
birthday today in remarkably good
health. King Edward, Emperor William
and the King of Spain all decorated
him. F.. King Edward received the
professor at Buckingham Palace and
bestowed on him commandership of

3, all the wires of the

Congress will be asked to authorize the
opening of the public streets for the
purpose. The last item of the legisla-
ton necessary to secure the placing
underground of all overhead wires
in the District was enacted by the last
Congress and signed by the President.
=. In order to build conduits to con-
tain the wires it is necessary to secure
authority from Congress, and all the
interests concerned now have the req
uisite authority to remove their over
head wires and place them under

legalizing the opening of streets for
the conduits, it seemed, soon would be
taken. Commissioner Mcfarland, in
