DR.. Clarke, speaking for the
teachers as well as himself, said
that they were delighted with
their visit to ST. Croix, and almost
without exception, they would
like to return.
The visit is an annual affair.
DR.. Clarke explained that the
trip is a requirement to meet
what is known as maintenance of
certification for New York State
teachers. The Department of Edu-
cation requires a teacher, no mat
ter how many degrees, must put
in a certain number of hours in
ten years in order to maintain
their certification. This helps to
keep the teachers alert. The De-
partment has approved travelling
which is a means of acquainting
as many people as possible. in the
United States about Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands. Many
continentals do not know enough
of the Virgin Islands or Puerto
Rico.
DR.. Clarke is no stranger to
Puerto Rico, having lived there
for seven years during which time
he was Vice President of Poly
technic. Last year he headed a
group of twenty-seven teachers
on a similar trip to Puerto Rico.
The visiting teachers are taking

Tiled of first hand information
about the Islands they visit. This
information will be supplied to
the several civic organizations in
Guiding churches and schools and
other civic groups in an effort to
really acquaint the people o. the
mainland about the Island.
They were entertained at a
dance given in their honor last
night in the Christiansted High
School cafeteria.
The Committee who was active
in preparing the itinerary was
comprised of Mrs. P.L Byrd Lar
sen, Mrs. Betty Skeoch, Mrs.
Maria Gibbons and Mrs. Ena M.
Teytaud. Those who furnished
cars and in almost all instances
acted as drivers, were Mrs. Aster
Coff Schjang, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs.
Enid K. Hodge, Samuel Bough,
L. Johansen, Mrs. Skeoch, Milton
Gordon and Mr.. Christensen.

Most Plan Breok-Awoys

Other typical comments from
this group were these from two
Midwestern boys:

I'd prefer freedom to servitude,
even if it is to my own mother.
"I broke away from my mother
when I got into high school. No one
can tell me what to do. I make my

And the majority Of the SO per
cent of the girls and % per cent
of the boys who said they feel they

mothers are not in favor of the
situation.
Despite these statements. 76 per
cent of those questioned said they

cent said they liked her and 70
per cent said they respected her.
It's the charge of "momism,' as
defined by Wylie. that most don't
agree with.
This statement by a 16-year-old
girl is typical of those given by the
per cent who said they liked being
closely attached to their mothers:
IF I am as you say tied to my
mothers apron strings. what's
wrong with that? I listen to her
opinions because they are worth

Thirty years ago, author Philip
Wylie wrote that America was be-
ing ruined by something he called
"momiSm."
Wylie charged in his controversial
book, Generation of Vipers," that
American youth had grown soft
through too great an attachment to
their mothers.
Our latest survey shows however,
that most young people today dis
agree with him.

The teen-agers also contended
that their friends are not overly
tied down by their mothers. Sixty
four per cent of the boys and 70 per

friends are not too greatly in

a greater margin-81 per cent OF
the boys and 88 per cent Of the girls
they said their boy friends were
not held by maternal attachments.
Eight out of 10 of the young
people did not think their mothers
babied them too much. Some said
their mothers took more time than
necessary in adjusting to the fact
they were no longer children, but
they eventually came around" as
one teen-ager put it.
Eighty-one per cent said they

1000 Attend
Meeting Of MCMP

Over 1000 individuals, members
and guests of the Maryland Co
operative Milk Producers, Inc,
attended the organizations an
nual meeting in Baltimore last
Saturday They heard:
Edgar G. Enrich of Emmitts-
burg, President Of the organiza-
ton, report on the past year and
predict better milk prices for the
future;
w. p Sadler, Treasurer and
General Manager, report on the
Cooperative's financial condition
and its general activities;
Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro,
Jr. of Baltimore greet the lunch
con guests and express a desire
to work out problems with the
MCMF'.
Those present also reelected
four directors Mr.. Enrich,
John w. Bay of Whiteford; J.
Best Wheeler, Jr. of Upperco and
Horace S. Brauning of Finksburg
In his report Mr. Enrich stated
that the work done by the Coop
erative's Directors and Manage
ment during the past year should
lead to better things for all mem
bers, particularly in the price
field. Increased activities in the
hauling and equipment divisions
should bring increased efficiency
and lower costs, he said.
Mr.. Sadler reviewed the Coop
erative's financial status, with
cash of $213,58 .16 at the end Of
1856, u. S. bonds in the amount
of 1888, 1915 and total assets of
SO, 465, 973.97. OF this, 1,552, 382.11
is net equity. This can be used
to guarantee a market for dairy
farmer members, for investment,
or construction and to be return
ed to members through a six-year
revolving fund. He outlined plans
for the future, stating that the
Federal Milk Marketing Order re-
quested by the Cooperative, might
not be necessary if sufficient
milk was purchased from farm
ers at classified prices.

Park Tax
The Park and Planning Com.
mission asked for a 3-cent in
crease in the present 7-cent park
tax on a mandatory basis, which
means that the County Council
and the Prince Georges Commits
sioners would be required by the
law to levy the additional 3 cents.
The Prince Georges delegation
decided to approve a mandatory
1-cent increase for the portion to
the park district in their county.
On our side, we decided on per-
missive increase up to 3 cents.
In other words, the County
Council would be- authorized to
decide whether the increase
should be 3 cents, 2 cents, l cent
or none at all. The Council, we
felt. was in better position than
we to analyze the Commissions
park budget needs and to weigh
them against the county's other
needs.
