Nearly Half Century OF TeaehingHas

minder to Miss Dessa Mccoy, the
sixth grade teacher at West JEFF
ferson School. She says one of the
reasons for her success has been
constant memory of her mothers
admonition that Il should always
do my very best at everything l
tried" Now, Miss Mccoy can look
back and see many of the trees"
that she helped to bend while they
were "twigs."
Her teaching career started
nearly half a century ago when
she took position as teacher in a
one room school in the Canaan
Township system. That was, to be
exact, 48 years ago. Three years
later she transferred to Jefferson
Township schools, and 30 years
ago moved into the Jefferson Lo-
cal System. But she has no COM

Inspiring Book

Sometimes a really inspiring
book comes to us. Such. a one is
'Miricle in the Mountains" by
Harriet T. Kane with Inez Henry.
This is the story Of the school
for Southern mountaineers which
Martha Berry founded at Rome,
Georgia. Hers is called the greatest
single handed achievement of any
woman who ever lived.
The book is full of anecdotes,
some humorous and downright fun

needed that she is almost as far
from retiring as she was when she
started teaching 48 years ago.
More children are coming into

THE Navy Can Defend Itself
Against Any Attack"

buon-pusher in Russia and another in the U.s., and
that all humanity would wait heIpessy to be annihated
by the explosions they unleash
I don't believe that anything remotely like this IS
going to happen.
About war is possible. and we've got be prepared
for IT, But while its possible. don't think it's very
probable. My reasoning is simple
Russia cannot destroy the United States.
The United States can destroy Russia = no matter
what Russia does in any initial attack.
Our Simple Strategy
The United States will not start general war the
only result of which could be to wipe out another
nation. Such war IS horrible and abhorrent to
democracy But neither. believe will the Sovets start
such war. not because they have any qualms about
destroying others but because they do not want TO be
destroyed themselves The Sovets know what we've got
because we've made sure to advertise it, They know
have enough to destroy them There are many unklnd
things that can be said about the Soviet leaders; they
are in my opinion ruthless and heartless. But can
never be said that they don't look out for themselves
Il would not serve their interests for Russia TO be
destroyed.
If this reasoning is simple. is strategy. The
Navy believes in defense Of balance based on the idea
that tie Strategic Air Command. the Tactical Air
Command Army missiles. Navy missiles and air power
and the power Of our allies abroad can each perform
some missions better than any one of the Others.
All of these separate balanced forces would make the
Soviets dilute their defenses. They couldn't handle all
these threats at once.
Certainly the USSR can sink a carrier, but it would
take a tremendous effort. With everything thus COM
mitted il would believe have little left with which to
attack elsewhere.
And so the bomb that destroys the carrier spares
Chicago And the misses aimed at the carrier don't
destroy the suburbs Of Chicago. And the Soviet planes

that fall, don't fall Milwaukee they fall into the
sea.
The effort the USSR throws against a carrier task
force in other words will be thrown against the US.
And what is the result? Our Strategic Air Command,
Tactical Air Command and other Free World forces are
able retaiate against the source Of aggression, the
USSR itself.
Let's turn the plans around. SuppOsing the SOviets
elect to make their initial attack where the radioactive
fallOut will not be wasted, II would be ut sea. So
they attack US. land targets and the US. counters
against Soviet bases, and both destroyed At the
end Of this massive attack, who's left? We're left
the Navy.
In areescale future wars the balance of power may
we'll rest on a few ships at
But, again. am convinced that the Russians know
this power balance would still be tipped at our end, and
that's why believe that general war is the least likely
war Of all.
What if our estimate is wrong, and the USSR does
begin general war? What good is Navy against air
borne H-bombs guided missiles with atomic WarheadS,
and submarines equipped to launch other potent guided
missiles perhaps even from under water? Is the Navy
helpless and its expensive carriers sitting ducks?
Against all Of these super weapons. how could the Navy
get into position strike back at the Soviet Union?
These are good questions, and they have got to be
answered
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-07-28
Why We Need Carriers

In the first place, the Navy is already in position.
We are in place. right now close to our allies watch
ing the avenues the USSR must use to launch about
war; And we are in the right places = Europe, the
Middle East and Asia where the Soviets threaten to
move in.
If there is war. can try to make sure it will be
fought far from the United States.
This fact should answer those who wonder why we
center our Navy on the aircraft carrier while the Soves
