Associated Press Stan Writer
SHAWNEE, Pa, July "a (R.
Fred Waring. Americas most
famous choirmaster, says pub
lie taste in tunes is happily on
the upbeat again.
A firm believer that music
fads, like ladies' fashions, re-
volve in fixed cycles. Waring
regards the trend away from
frantic, grating tunes to bal
lads with an appreciative eye.
Anything In bad taste up
sets the hell out Of me-" says
Waring with q rare expletive
to emphasize his fervent In
tensity.
Waring, along with his half
hundred singers and bands
men who comprise the re-
nowned aggregation called the
Pennsylvanians, is currently
at this country retreat, pre-
pairing a show that will take
them on September 26 into
New York's Ziegfeld Theater
for their first Broadway ap-
pearance in IL years.
The outfit that pioneered
vocalizing into popular enter
tainment, has been busy since
last visiting New York with
tours, recordings and televi-
sion and recently wound up o
transcontinental whirl Of
$4,000 miles that took them
into 1876 cities.
Teaches Teachers
The Waring influence in the
choral scheme Of things, of
course, doesn't end with his
own glee club and orchestra.
Each summer for the past
10 years, several hundred mu-
sic teachers and glee club lead
ers, have trekked to Shawnee
to attend Fred's workshop and
learn about the techniques of
making large groups of people
sing together. His printing
farm, largest publisher Of cho-
raj music In the country, has
distributed several million
copies Of 5000 glee club ar
rangements, and also publishes
a music magazine.
And neat little irony at the
core OF such singing enterprise
is the fact that Fred himself
couldn't get into the under
graduate glee club of Penn
State College-his voice wasn't
good enough.
The crux Of everything I've
DONE" comments Waring. "is
that everything has been a
challenge. Each thing I've done
resulted because I was told It
couldn't be DONE"

doesn't casually impress as
the kind to go around taking
dares. But watching him work
and talking to associates re-
veals the underlying steel of
determination.
Also there are the facts:
The Pennsylvanians stub
bornly auditioned 80 times for
radio before being accepted.
The experts said people
wouldn't listen to group sing
ing except on Sunday morn
ing. Once on the air, though,
millions Iistened--and re-
quested sacred songs in 1873
order as the melodies most
wanted.
Away from the musical field,
Waring also made cant" the
spur to action. He bought into
the local country club and
inn when told 1t couldn't be
run successfully, and whipped

shook his hand and said they
liked what he had said about
bird dogs VS.. the kennel variety.
I bumped into the Secretary
over by the Chihuahua stands
where he didn't hesitate to
praise the intelligence and be-
quilting appearance of the
tiniest toy breed. C. E. was
on safe ground there. You
rarely find prize Chihuahua
that was raised in a kennel.
A wee female must have heard
his compliments, She did her
best to wiggle out of another
persons arms to get to him.
The Defense boss would
have walked past the poodle
ring without a pause if he
hadn't seen Grace Carney's hat.
A small black affair with,a cut
out poodle silhouetted jauntily
on the side, it caught his ap-
preciative eye. Again he was
on safe ground. The lid was
raised midst millinery.
Finally he came to the breeds
he likes best. There are set
ters," he said, "and pointers
and If you cross-breed them,
troopers. But ! like pointers
best" He was so pleased with
some German shorthaired
pointers that had big brown
spots against a polka dotted
background. that he went back
to admire these beauties. He
ended up by being invited to
some field trials in Maryland in
a couple of weeks. And before
he left he posed beside a cute
kennel dog that was the decoy
on the Tail-Waggers' table.
The canine world can no longer
have any quarrel with Charles
E. Wilson.
IT WAS CLOSE to midnight
when the two or three hundred
exhibitors, judges. stewards
and friends of Perle Mesta and
Mr.. and Mrs. George Tyson
arrived at the Sheraton Park
from the dog show. Mrs.
Mesta was late in arriving be-
cause she had to wait to pre-
sent a best-in- breed cup for
which she was the donor.
For the guests who arrived
at 1920 there was no ques-
ton that this was a dogdom
to-do. Every table in the Bur-
gundy Room was decorated
with sprigs of dogwood held
in china vases with poodles on
them. And the long buffet
table also bore stuffed gray
and black poodles, and in the
center a big, beautiful dog
house made entirely of dog
wood blossoms. So far as I
could tell there was nobody
in the doghouse.
Representative katherine St.
George, a well-known judge of
all breeds, was there, and Mrs.
George Holmes, Margot and
Philip Strong, former Senator
Henry AshurSt, George Will
liams, the Philip Howes, the
Ray Henles and hundreds of
persons who should have been
greeting one another with arr

talk nothing but dogs. In the
receiving line with Mrs. Mesta
and the Tysons was Mrs. John

ing force behind this show.

Union Heads Warn Locals
Will Fight Merit System

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. % =
The president of the AFL-CIO
American Federation of Teach
ers warned here today that the
federation locals throughout
the country will fight presently
organized attempts to resur-
rect what he termed the in
famous and mis-named merit
rating system of pay for public
school teachers .
Carl ]. Megel of Chicago, told
the opening session of a 3-day
meeting of the A. F. of rs Ex-
ecutive Council in the Sherman
Hotel that while some school
administrations are falsely pres
enting the system to- the public
as something new, it has been
tried and found impractical
many times in many places in
the past.
THE merit rating SYSTEM
Megel explained, is a system in
which school superintendent
and principals are given the au-
thority to single out few tea
cheers for higher salaries on the
contention that they are super
ior or master teachers. He add
ed:
"There is no standard by
which one teacher may be rated
above another on a dollars and
cents basis, and the term merit
rating itself is a fraud
He declared that the natural
The Robbins eagle. (Robbins, Ill.) 1951-1963, 1955-12-31

result of the merit system is
to enable school administrators
to increase the salaries of yes
teachers teachers that play
poliitcs-over those academic
ally superior.
"Other effects Megel said,
would be to blunt academic
freedom, and to cause many
thousands Of good but by passed
teachers to leave the profession,
thus creating further shortage
Of qualified personnel.
"The public will remember
that these things resulted in the
1920's 1905, when merit rat
ing rash ended in fiasco, t hen
came the sensible and realistic
Inauguration of the single salary
schedule of equal pay for equal
service based upon qualifica-
tons, and training. This system
has proved to be the only fair
and objective system upon
which to base salaries.
'"In the 1o20-1o30 merit rating
experiment, teachers were rated
A, B, c, and paid accordingly.
When school districts became
short of money, their school
boards cut salaries by arbitrari-.
ly demoting A teachers to B rat
ing and BIS to c.

rent merit rating movement is
prompted by few reckless ad-
ministrators trying to attract
