Templeton Jones watched in
fascination as his friends
hand crept closer and closer
to the maple sirup jug.
The two had gone into one
of the hundreds of eating
places for a cup of coffee.
Jones took two small jugs
of cream, his friend no cream
at all.
So human beings differ.
Jones poured his coffee. then
put in exactly one and a half
jugs of cream.
Tales of dire results from
fats had never moved him.
He spurned modern science,
at least in this detail.
He wanted none of it. be-
cause he liked coffee light.
\
His friend poured his cof-
fee. then reached for the
maple sugar pitcher.
If he had not been talking
so much. he would have real
lied that he did not have the
coffee jug in hand.
He wanted just a little
more coffee.
Idly. Jones watched.
1t was not up to him to say
anything, and, indeed, he
wanted to see what would
happen.
Half of his life's pleasure
was in watching just such lit
tie incidents, sometimes called
accidents.
The hand crept closer and
closer to the cup of coffee,
with the pitcher of strip up
raised.
Would he pour?
He did!
In went about an ounce Of
strip.
Then he came to life.
did you see what did?"
he moaned.
yes" replied Jones, ever
truthful.
Then why" asked the other,
didn't you stop me?"
Temp Jones smiled.
II wondered how it would
taste" he said. Il have a sort
Of scientific interest in it, be-
cause ! use honey in my own
coffee when I can"
The other refused to taste.
He took the cup back to the
girl behind the counter. and
she. being an intelligent per-
son, smiled and nodded, and
poured more coffee

Calling All Cars

You motorists don't know my
impetuous young son Bobby
who is just 6 years old and is
starting his first year of school.
You haven't been privileged to
see how he can turn suddenly
from eager enthusiasm to
solemn unconcern to youthful
wisdom. No, you couldn't know
him or love him as I do-that's
why it seems strange that I
will soon have to trust his
very life to you.
Yes to you-becauSe in a
short while he will march off
to school regularly. He'll be
crossing streets. playing along
the way and around the school.
! hoped / was preparing him
when / threw IN some free
advice about the safe way to
do these things, in answering
his questions about all the
wonders of the first grade. But
this is pretty new to him and
he may make mistakes. Bobby
isn't irresponsible. yet he is
not responsible. For him the
crushing dangers of traffic are
not real. 1 can tell him, but
it would be like describing the
giant in the story of Jack
and the BeanStalk.
But you know. and you can
watch out for him. You can
watch for him as he plays on
the way home from school and
you can use caution when you
see him ready to cross the
street. You can be ready to
stop If he should dash out
from behind a parked car or
follow a rolling ball into your
path. If you remember how
dear he is to me, you will drive
slowly through every school
zone.
Since you have been granted
the privilege to drive, / have
to assume that you will do
these things. But will you?
Will you drive carefully when
ever there are children, not
only because it is your legal
responsibility, but because you
care as much as I do that the
frightening roar of traffic
death-of the giant-never
becomes real for a little fellow
who has SO much ahead of him
to learn?

Our Troubled World

In his visit to Russia, PreSi-
dent Sukarno of Indonesia
was hailed by Soviet leaders
for his active role in the strug-
gle of Asian peoples for the
liquidation Of colonialism. In
deed, there has been of late a
rise of nationalism and out
bursts against economic i'm
perialism all over the world,
and Sukarno himself has
never missed an opportunity to
deneunce imperialism and the
West, while at the same time
seeking and continuing to re-
ceive aid from the very ma
tons he denounces, without
which his country cannot hope
to survive.
The colonial idea is far from
dead, Notwithstanding state
ments to the contrary. It will
be many decades before it is
completely liquidated. There
have been many second
thoughts on this general topic,
incidentally. The wisdom Of
giving up colonial territory
before making sure of a ca
pacity for self-government has
been questioned. Many former
colonies now are suffering
from liberation pains. And
this includes the Philippines
and others which were con-
sidered advanced enough to
be given their coveted political
Independence.
After eight years of inde-
pendence, 1t is not at all sure
that India has found the right
track. The country has been

but there is no insurance Of

The republic of Indonesia

score. 1t has quite a few lead

outstanding statesman. The
country is divided religiously
and politically. There are lib

Communists. Another handi-
cap has to do with the skills

has turned back the clock Of
progress for these nations at

tired officers.
Teaching is the second career
most senior officers are best
qualified for by virtue of their
training and experience. And
it's the field they are turning
to in over increasing numbers
not without some readjustment
pains, however.
Take the case of Rear Admiral
William Lewis Benson, retired,
So, of 2018 G street NV.
A graduate of the Navae

Benson recently finished 80 years
service. Stagnation in retire.

He was we'll enough abreast of
current events to know that a
teacher shortage exists in this
country, particularly in a field
in which he is well-qualified,
science and mathematics.
II taught for two years at
the Naval Academy" he ex-
planned. II felt I could be of
some further use to my country"
But Admiral Benson knew he
was rusty. So he signed up for
the summer program at George
Washington University. He'll
complete his work for a masters
degree in education this summer
and begin teaching mathematics
at Wakefield Junior High School
In Arlington.
We're happy to get men like
Admiral Benson" Charles A..

He said three senior officers

Qualifications Cited
Air Force Col. Harry C. Eek

sistant personnel officer for the
school system. His training and
experience indicates just how
well qualified he was for the
post.
Col. Eckhoff's last assignment
was as director of personnel
services for the far flung Stra-
tegic Air Command. Before
entering the Air Force, Col. Eek
hoff had served as a staff as
sistant to the California State
Board of Education.
