If1outed by private groups.
A dramatic illustration of this
occurred in Pennsylvania q few
years ago. when the Amish re-
Iligious sect decided to stop teach
ing its children at age IA and
put the youngsters to work.
Pennsylvania law required school
attendance until age II. Amish
lawyers got nowhere with the
argument that the age-rule was
q violation Of private school
privileges.
Must Meet Standards
But once a school has met the
standards set UP by the State.

to it If they wish.
The law on the question seems
quite clear.
It might also be noted that
most courts consider such practi-
cal problems as enforcement and
economics in making decisions.
Trying to force millions Of reluc-
tant individuals into public
schools would, to say the least.
be a king-size Job. And the
financial loss to both sides might
be incalculable.

Cardinal Mcintyre, Archbishop
Of Los Angeles. said q few days
ago. In q speech in st. Paul,
MINI, that forces are afoot in
the Nation which have just this
goal In mind.
Whether or not that is so, and
what the Supreme Court may do
in the future, is beyond this
discussion. However. perusal of
the law on the matter. indicates
that forcing children to attend
only public schools would be
pretty hard to do.

In that year, the Oregon Leg

"The child is not a mere crea-

Contrary to popular belief. the
child'S vision at 20 feet and 20
inches is not always the same. it
was explained by Lion club mem
ber, Dr. Richbourg, optometrist,
and many children will pass the
distance vision test and fail the
near vision test.
By obtaining this testing
machine the Lions club believes
that more comprehensive screen
ing of school children'S vision can
be done with benefit to both the
child and the school.
The clubs plans for the SCREEN
ing programs are not complete as
yet, but plans are being made to
work with Mrs S. A. Wilson, pres
ident of the Lincolnton P-TA units
to see that the machine gets the
maximum amount of use with a
minimum of conflict to the school
and teachers.
AVAILABLE TO SCHOOLS

dent of P-TA foB any of the city

Size Of Avery's Victory
Awaits Vote Countino

Under Wards cumulative vot-
ing system, the percentage of
votes necessary to elect one di-
rector is 10 per cent Of the total
votes cast, plus one vote. For
Mr.. Wolfson to get the three
places on the board he claims,
he will have to have 80 per cent
of the total cast. plus three votes.
At the end of yesterdays five
hour stakeholder session MIR.
Avery issued a statement saying.
Il am very grateful to the stock
holders for their expression Of
confidence. Outside of his
own group, Mr.. Wolfson received
only small minority vote"
Several hours later Mr.. Wolf
son issued statement claiming
tremendous victory" adding,
II have eliminated the stagger
system (of electing only three of
nine directors each year,. I
have elected a minimum of three
members and possibly four to
the Board of Directors of Mont
gomery Wards private club of
directors"

dent. estimated SO million shares
Of stock supported the Avery
slate. Edmund A. Stephan, an
attorney for Mr.. Wolfson, es-
timated the Wolfson forces had
.l25,000 shares.
Situation to Be Ironed Out
This adds up to more than the
6.703,932 shares of Wards stock
outstanding. Each side could
have the number of shares it
claims, the discrepancy resulting
from the fact some stockholders
sent in proxies to each side.
This will be iioned out in the
tabulation of votes over the next
three weeks.
If Mr.. Wolfson get the three
seats he claims. it is believed his
proxies will be voted for Mr..
Wolfson himself, for his brother
Cecil, and for Alexander Ritz
master III. The other nominees
will be dropped.
The management at Wards.
the Nations Oldest and second
biggest mail order house, hasn't

Hook Is Suspected
In Eden Threats

LONDON, April % (P).-Au-
thorities now believe that recent
threats on the life of Sir An
thony Eden were a hoax. The
warnings, telephoned the day Sir
Anthony became Prime Minister,
led police to set up a special
guard to protect him.
Scotland Yard reported last
night that the precautions were
relaxed earlier this week. They
had been in force since April 6,
when Sir Anthony received his
appointment from Queen Eliza
beth II.
While the new Prime Minister
was at Buckingham Palace, po-
lice sources said, an anonymous
caller told Scotland Yard:
1.-TWO men will try desperately
to iniure Eden this afternoon.
This is not a hoax. Watch out!"

The fire was in a warehouse in

the blaze started in a storage

space, used for storage by the
Acme Bag and Basket Co., was
also damaged.
The Spivey firms office is at

NAKED an 8-month campaign
for Mr.. Wolfson. a 43-year-old
Florida industrialist who has
risen rapidly in business circles
since the end of World War II
He attacked Mr.. Averys con-
sentative policies and said he
would expand Wards activities.
Mr.. Avery. 81. countered with
the statement Mr.. Wolfson was
leading a "raiding party" to
grab Wards large liquid as
SETS" He attacked Mr.. Wolfson's
record with other companies he
heads. such as Merritt Chapman
g. Scott. a construction firm,
and Capital Transit of Wash
ington.
The climax of the campaign
came yesterday when Mr.. Wolf
son and Mr.. Avery appeared at
the same meeting. Mr.. Wolfson
faced Mr.. Avery-who didn't
look at Mr.. Wolfson-and said.
Il respect you as a man and l
respect your age"
When Mr.. Wolfson finished
Mr.. Avery stood up and said,
Il want to make it clear that
I have listened to a tumble of
words. I cannot understand it.
I haven't heard a thing. I find
myself unable to hear"
Cites Poor Acoustics
John Barr, vice president and
secretary of Wards, explained,
There seems to be spot on
the side Of the stage where the
acoustics are so poor that no
one can hear"
Later, Mr.. Wolfson wrote out
a statement in the press room
bordering if the banks and
trusts voted for the Avery slate
knowing that it was spearheded
by a gentleman whose vigor of
mind and body was open to seri-
GUS question, as evidenced by
this meeting"
For several hours Wolfson
supporters scattered throughout
the assemblage peppered Mr..
Avery with questions, evidently
trying to rattle him. Mr.. Avery
left the roStrum several times,
but he was there. waving and
smiling. when the meeting ad-
journed.
The battle was for one of the
most famous American business
firms. Wards has 1000 stock

But the union said in a state

the two largest producers of the
new vaccine. It has been bar
gaining with the Clio Oil, Chem
ical and Atomic Workers since
March l on new contract for
1000 employees. The current
pact expires May /.
Negotiations broke down Thurs
day. The union accused the COM
pany Of refusing to bargain in.
good faith. The company blamed
union intransigence for the dead
lock.
Federal and State mediators
moved in and called a meeting of
both parties for Tuesday.
CIO President Walter Reuther
ordered a national officer of the
union to join officers of Local
176. which represents Parke,
Davis workers in the new talks.
The union seeks a 10-cent
hourly pay increase for its 500
men members and Is cents an
hour more for $500 women mem
bers. Men currently average $l.95
an hour and women $1.68 an
hour, the union said.
In addition, the union is de-
handing a guaranteed annual
wage and company paid hos
pitalization for all members of
an employees family. However,
the union said it is willing to
forego the guaranteed annual
wage if other requests are
granted.
The company has offered a
wage increase of 3la to Az cents
an hour and a pension it de-
scribed as better than those in
the auto industry"
