Information until the first flies start

quarters at the rear of the post office
last Friday as the thermometer re-
gistered 68.
Since 1852 when post office en-
ployees began to record Ding's ar
rivals and departures for the winter,
he has turned up somewhere between
April 3 and April 20. This year, due
to poor weather, he refused to wake
up and stir himself until the second
latest date of arrival since 1852. The
first year of the record, he arrived
on the 20th.
Ding, who is supposed to be a
bachelor, no one every having seen
a mate or young, can usually be de-
pended upon to depart his post office
quarters during the first two weeks
in November.

Fishing isn't catching fish. Fishing
is getting out of doors so that q
man can feel the sun and wind ano
the rain on his face. 1t is getting
off by oneself on the edge of &
meadow creek; it is following clear
water, singing brook through quie'
woodland; it is sitting in a boat or
a peaceful tree-circled pond.
Fishing is the chance to get
away from the pressures of office
and factory; it is a time to watch
the sky and clouds, the red
winged blackbirds and a wood
chuck poking in the clover patch.
In beehives Of population, one for
gets the sound of singing
stream, the serenity and faith-re-
storing steadfastness of friendly
trees, the green of new grass, the
blue of viOlets' faces along the
brook edge, and the challenge of

gets 1917 years of schooling.
1t is more than is obtained
in most parts of the United Stat
es, an everage of 9.3 years. In
the East North Central States it
is 9.6 years.
The survey shows that $3.50 of
the local residents over the age
of Is have gone to college, only
$50 of them, however, for the
full four years or more.
Some 1873 percent of the adult
population has had one or more
years of college instruction, as
compared with 1872 percent ma
tionally.
The indication, nevertheless, is
that many local residents of high
ability are not getting the bene-
fits of a college training. What
ever the reason for it, the loss
in such cases is a national one,
states Mr.. Folsom. 1t is from
such student that the country
must recruit it's top scientific
talent for the safety and pro-
greSs of all the people.
According to the National Sci
ence Foundation, there are over
10000 of such calibre in the
country who would have gone to
college had the necessary finan-
cial support been offered them.

Geauga Folk Educated.
Above National Average

The recent scientific accomp-
liShments of the Russians have
shocked Americans in Geauga
County and everywhere else in
the country to the need of re-
appraisal Of our educational
standards.
Each community has it's own
responsibility in that direction
the President has indicated.
Each has to see that it's child
rem get the best possible instruc-
ton and that all the superior
ones be enabled and encourag-
ed to go to college.
The Russian sputnik, with its
implied threat to our way of life,
is the elimination of long and
arduous scientific work. Accord
ing to Marion B. Folsom, Sec
retary of Health, Education and
Welfare, the Soviet decided ma
ny years ago that it could gain
world supremacy through tech
nology and it proceeded full =
blast in that direction. The re-
suit is that in many fields Rus
sian scientists are preeminent to-
day, he declared.
In this country it has caused
an awakening to the need for
education of a more serious and
profound type. There is much
talk, especially, of the failure of
many schools to require ade-
quate mathematics and science
courses.
