Dear Friends:-
Many of our friends last week
went to see Harry James and his
orchestra at Forbes Air Force
Base Officers Club. n fact there
were over one Thousand people in
the club so you can see Mr.. James
popularity has not subsided.
The following evening the 55th
Wing gave a farewell party to
Lieutenant Colonel and Mrs. F. A.
Shirley. | am the worlds worst in
saying goodbye. This was our
final evening with the Shirleys be-
fore their departure to Inglewood,
California. We spent good part
of the evening with them, but to-
ward. "going home time, Gene
Shirley and l kept our distance
from each other. Just the day be-
fore as she emptied her refrigera-
tor and freezer and sent me home
with the remains we had good
weeping" time and we knew good
bys this evening must be avoided
at all cost.
We finally left the club surrep-
ticiously and headed for Engler's
Ranch. Before we went to the party
we had not had our dinner and by
this late hour Hayes and | were
both famished. So many have told
us about the excellent steak din
ners they have eaten at this iso-
lated ranch five miles south of
Topeka. 1t is odd how same eating
places make a hit with little ef-
fort and others advertise, redeco-
rate, work so hard to have a good
business and it is fruitless. This
ranch is on a back road, no signs
directing you to it, the restaurant
is in a barn that is decorated to
the minimum. Parties come for
good food, to take children on hay
rides, or just to meander around
the ranch and see their steers and
buffalo. We were served onion
soup, garden salad with roquefort
dressing, the best steak I've ever
eaten, garlic bread, good coffee and
no dessert since we. had gorged a
sufficient amount already.
Hayes had been told that Special
Services keeps copies of music for
pianists on hand and he could find
them at our base at the Airman' S
Service Club. Last week he in

Babson Discusses The Real Problem OF Education

Babson Park, Mass, April "a. A
great hullabaloo is being raised
about the need for space in our
colleges to take care of all our
young people of college age. To in
sist that college education become
universal would be tc lower cur
educational standards to the level
of mediocrity. In the present world
struggle of the survival of the fit
est, we need to turn out from our
colleges something considerably
better than mediocre teachers,
scientists, and businessmen. The
colleges need something to work
with in the first place; the large
numbers of purposeless, immature
high school graduates who find
their way into our colleges have no
business therei

the large numbers who funk out of
college do not constitute a great
national waste of manpower. The
real waste is for colleges to con-
tinue to use funds for more build
ings to house more and more in
competents who are bound to funk
out; or who, if they don't funk,
will drag down the level of per-
formance The problem which con-
fronts us is one of intellectual hon

Greenwood School News

At special meeting of the
Board of School Trustees the local
school tax was reduced from $.78
td $40 for 1859. The members ex-
pressed hope that more substan-
tial reduction would be realized
the following year if Pennington
would consolidate with Greenwood.
AS most people know, Pennington
is already in the school residential
district but is not administrative
ly and, therefore, bears none of
the cost of the school operation
1t. is hoped that the General As
sembly this year will take appro-
pirate measures to equaliZe the
local school tax burden.
The new building project has
progressed rapidly during the past
clear warm days. The whole build
ing is out of the ground and almost
all steel installed. Several sec
tions are already of bar-joice
aeight, awaiting roof construction,
The renovation of the auditorium
is taking shape The stage extern
son has been completed, the movie
booth has been framed-in awaiting
plaster finish. The floor has been
stripped and refinished. During the
iirst two weeks of May the Robert
R. Layton Company will install
'Travacoustic" ceiling and paint
the walls. During the last week in
May the International Seating
Company will install auditorium
chairs and Snellenburg's will in
stall the new curtains for the stage
and windows. Every effort is being
made to have the auditorium ready
for this years Commencement ex-
ercises.
Mrs. Marjorie Baker, Mrs. Belle
Allen. Mrs. Carl Schulze and Mrs.
Geneva Spence visited Wilmington
as delegates to the Congress Of Par
ents and Teachers from the Green
wood chapter.
The P.T.A. is now planning a
meeting to be held jointly with the
school committees on exhibits
which will be featured April 28th
and 29th. A fashion show is being
presented the first evening and the
school band will entertain on the.
second evening.
The school baseball team has
been stymied so far this year. The
new building extended into the old
baseball diamond; so, a new field
has to be prepared. The rain has
prevented either any prolonged
practice or the making of a new
field. IL is hoped that better wea-
ther is ahead and a good season
of school baseball.

The severe March weather caus-
ed a drop in bridge traffic of H.
289 Vehicles-greatest in the spans
nearly seven year history-Frank
j. Horty, general manager has re-
ported to the Delaware Interstate
Highway Division.
This critical loss also brought
down the ten month crossing total
to 7,195,383 vehicles as compared
to 7,425,325 in the previous fiscal
year. Revenue is off 1.8 per cent
for that period the report states.
Since June l, 1857 through March
81, 1858 total collections came to
S6,215,014.60 as compared to &c.
329, ,269.80. Since more truck traf-
fic has used the span, revenue is
not as far behind as actual cross
ings which are down 81 per cent
for the ten months.
During the month of March there
were 576,459 crossings as COM
pared to 647,748 a year earlier.
This drop showed a traffic deficit
of IL percent, highest in the spans
history.
Revenue received from tolls in
March amounted to $509, ,254.25. In
March 1857 the sum was $564,762.7O.
Mr.. Horty announced that Emory
Postles had recaptured first place
among toll takers for efficiently
handling 2S,426 transactions during
the month and was awarded a s25

cases in which principals have made
parents, pupils and college officials

thing they really were not. They
got them into college with obvious
ly abstruse recommendations; then

Parents Must Become Masters
In Their Houses
A college education for sons and
daughters is eagerly sought today
by many parents more as mark
of social accomplishment than for
the learning the degree should re-
present. One college dean has said
this about the attitude of parents
whose children funk: The amazing
reaction many times is: .But my
son just CAM funk; what will the
neighbors tllink?"
Inferior educational preparation
for college, or in college, cannot
be cured just by raising teachers
salaries and building new build
ings. First, there must be a re-
kindling of the will to learn-some-
thing parents have lot more to do
with than they will admit. Second,

Young People Must Set Up Sound
Value Goals
/ wish thoughtful young people
had more of an opportunity to
speak out without fear of incrimi-
mating themselves with their tea
cheers. One young man recently
wrote a plaintive letter to, the edi-
tor of a large city newspaper. In
it he made a plea to the school
committee of that city to stop vast
ing the time of talented sudens. He
said hat good teachers spend too
much time with children who do
not want to learn. His plea was to
throw out the non-learners, to group
homo generously the bright children
who want to learn, and to discipline
severely those who would make a
joke out of school.
Our young people must become
very familiar with the fact that the
cold war is struggle of intellect.
They must know why our schools
must raise their standards, from
the elementary grades up. Our col
leges and universities should hold
their admissions standards high
barring those who cannot qualify
and fiunking those who are look
ing for four-year loaf on father
More selective admissions policies
and Tightening of standards would
find many colleges with much less
of teacher and building shortage
problem than they now appear to
have. 1t is not necessarily more
money that our schools need.

DRAWING FALSE CONCLUSIONS

One common excuse we hear for not get
ting polio shots is that There's no reason
to worry about polio any longer. Why, there
were less than 5000 cases in the whole Uni
ted States last year." The person who says
that is well-informed on statistics. But the
conclusion he draws is dangerously incor-
rect.
Polio did drop off from %, ,983 cases in
1866 to Is, 400 in 1856, and then to 1894 in
1857. But the principal reason for the en-
couraging drop in incidence was the fact
that millions of Americans were taking ad-
vantage of the protection offered by the
Salk vaccine. Most of the cases recorded last
year were totally unnecessary, the result of
failure to vaccinate.
1t is difficult for some people to under
stand that they receive no protection what
ever from their neighborrS vaccination The
protected neighbor may not get the paralytic
disease, but he still is capable of passing
the virus on to others. Lulled into false
sense of security, the unvaccinated may walk
the streets with no more protection than
those who fell victim to the disease during
the terrible polio epidemics of the pre-Salk
era.
Many parents who have been quick to
insist upon vaccinations for their children
of school age fail to realize that these same
children can still bring the disease into the
home, where it may find prime targets
among infants and adults who have not
had the Salk shots.
No one can tell how widely the virus will
be distributed during the coming months.
Certainly, you will not be able to detect its
presence in your community. There is only
one way to remove yourself and your chill
dren from the target area. Go to your doc
tor-or to your polio vaccination clinic
and start the three-shot series TODAY.
Don't be among those unfortunate DeODle
who waited until it was too late.

James H. Carmichael. for

Corp, Hagerstown, Md, in q
far-reaching reorganization an

agement Of the Fairchild Com

the F-27 prophet program has
been transferred to this divi-
sion.
President Richard S. Boutelle.
in announcing the new pro-

Richard C. Palmer. formerly
assistant to the president and
senior representative for Fair
child in Washington. has been
elected corporate vice presi-
dent-communications.
F. E. Newbold, jr., vice presi-
dent, who has been serving as
general manager Of the engine
division, will take over the new
corporate planning position.
Mr.. Boutelle said the changes
will give Fairchild the basic
organization and fiexibility Of
operations required today. This
is brought about by growth in
sales over the past decade; the
impact of today's science and
technology; changes in old and
new markets; the separation Of
F-27 commercial program from
military products, and the
broadening of opportunities
for executive advancement. He
said the plan is the result OF
extensive study by manage
ment, outside consultants and
