Introduction; II-Topics: l.
World Power; 2. Easter; 3. Mu-
sic Festival; III Summary.
Again we are writing a news re-
have been many things in which
we have been especially inte sted.
First, we have tried to keep
up with newspapers, teleVisiOn and
radio and watched the visiting of
world leaders. We have enjoyed
becoming familiar with, and max
ing a scrap-boOk of them.
Next, we have found Easter has
two meanings. AS small children
we thought of things to make US
happy, the Easter Bunny, baskets,
candy, clothes and others. Now,
we are anxious to know more about
how Christ was crucified and arose
on Easter morn.
We have been very interested in
the worlds Passion Plays" and
particularly our own in Oklahoma.
'The Prince of Peace. We have
enjoyed watching how all nature
bursts forth at this time.
On May 18th the entire 3rd
grade is going to have a music
festival Each section is doing
something. Section 3-6 is going to
play on autO-harps. We are having
fun learning Besides that the
whole class will sing together. We
hope our parents will be there.
After reporting for the news

travel and learn more of the world.

The fourth grade sections of
the Lakeview Avenue Elementary
School are planning a trip to
Dover. We have been studying about
the history of our state and will
find it very interesting to visit
some OF the places our history
book tells us about.
In the morning we plan to visit
several of the old and interesting
buildings in Dover. Some of these
places include The Delaware State
Museum, located in the Old Pres
byterian Church, and The State
House, one of the oldest state
houses in use in the United States.
Following a lunch on The
Green, we will visit the Dover
Air Force Base and see some of
the reasons why it is so important
to our National Defense.

BRINGING PEOPLE CLOSER
TOGETHER

We usually think of international rela-
tions in terms of what government does, and
of policies established at the top But there
is more-much more-to the matter than
that
individuals and groups of individuals,
through organizations of thousand and one
kinds, can contribute tremendously toward
better international relations. This is the
principle behind the people to People" pro-
gram which, while it is sponsored by the
u. S. Information Agency, lays all the en-
phasis on the work of private citizens and
private groups. Activities range a wide
gamut, from sending American books and
magazines overseas to welcoming foreign
ers who come here on business or to study.
Commercial enterprise, in many fields, al
so is potent force for better international
understanding and friendship. To take a
recent example, the Railway Express Agen-
cy has inaugurated the worlds first exten-
sive single-carrier network for carrying
goods from and to other nations. AS of now,
this means that some $4,000 u. S. communi-
ties are linked by One-carrier service with
points in Austria, Belgium, France, Japan,
the Saar Sweden and Switzerland. Other
nations are to be gradually added to the list.
This service offers what are termed revo-
lutionary features-including single through
charges and a single-negOtiable export order
bill of lading covering both land and ocean
transport from origin to destination. Costs
are moderate and lower than when other
means are used.
Innovations such as this bring peoples
and nations closer together. We need more
of them, in all fields of human activity -
commercial, cultural, governmental.

FINAL POLIO WARNING

The United States Public Health Service
urges all adults, under the age of 35, or even
40, to get at least one Salk polio shot as pro
lection against the paralytic form of polio
myelitis.
Too many Americans, the Public Health
Service says, have concluded that the Salk
polio vaccine is for children only and have
failed to take advantage of the new serum.
Yet the disease strikes many under the age
of 35, and even up to 40 years old, and one
or two shots-it takes eight months to get
the three shots-will provide worthwhile pro-
lection.
Therefore, as a last warning, we urge
all those under the age of 40 to consider get
ting at least one Salk incubation, and pre-
ferably two. The National Foundation fOr
Infantile Paralysis thinks that if adults un-
der 40 would do this, the nation could prob
ably experience a summer without serious
polio epidemic for the first time in its his
tory.

"polygenous" as made up Of con-

the recent Easter recess we did a
little checking TO see just how
"polygenous" our Congress was

The youngest member took over
his fathers seat John Dingell of
Michigan, aged 30O
There are three times as
many lawyers as farmers in the
Senate and five times as many
in the House.
Congressional Quarterly, some
times regarded as the Washing
ton Correspondents Bible, has dug
even deeper, Its researchers found
the businessmen and bankers
made up 90 per cent Of the Senate
and 80 per cent OF the House; ex-
newspapermen account for 9 per
cent OF the Senators and per
cent Of the Congressman. There
are quite a few teachers but only
a handful Of MD.s or dentists
bother to run for Congressional
seats.
There are two ministers In
Congress, Meryin Coad, an
Iowa Democrat, and Adam
Clayton Powell. New York
Democrat.
The senior Democrat in Con-
gress is Speaker Sam Rayburn
and the senior Republican is Rep.
