School News

Students Day at Banneker
School, sponsored by the Student
Council, was a huge success. This
activity took place on Friday, May
8, 1858. The purposes for observ-
ing this day were: ID To encour-
age a greater feeling of applica-
ton for teachers and the teaching
profession; (2) To help build bet
ter pupil-pupil relations; CD To
develop leadership and fellowship.
Student teachers were chosen
from the ninth grade only. They
assumed all responsible positions
at the school for the entire day.
The staff was as follows: Superin-
tendent, Clifton Marshall; Super
visor, Norman Brady. Principal,
Robert Smith; Grade One, Cornelia
Hooper; Grades One and Two, Car
olyn Harris; Grade Two, Arnold
Mosley; Grade Three, William
Vann; Grade Four, Garland Brown;
Grade Five, Mary Vann; Grade
Six, Betty Brady; Grade Seven,
Catherine Turner; Grade Eight,
Raymo..I Baynard; Grade Nine,
Eloise Baynard; Physical Educa-
ton, Eugene Ross; School Nurse,
Rosa Thompson; Custodians, How
ard Piper, Johnnie Newsome and
Shelton Daniels; Cafeteria Work
ers, James Lake, George Harris
and Leon Clark.
The day began with an assembly
program presented by the student
teachers. During the assembly they.
the student teachers, informed the
student body of what would be ex-
pected during the day, explained
the meaning of Students Day and
gave the position each would fill.
At the close of the program the
principal, Robert Smith, expressed
his regrets that the regular teach
ers would have to take back seat
for the day.
All classes, under the watchful
eyes of the regular teachers, were
run smoothly and efficiently. 1t
was very satisfying to observe how
everyone cooperated so well. All

Among farm families, 81 per
cent do some home canning. About
So per cent freeze foods at home.
Fewer urban families preserve
foods, Miss Wormeck reports. She
says 30 per cent can food and nine
per cent do home freezing. Figures
on freezing include both home
freezers and rented lockers. Meat
accounts for 85 per cent of all
home-frozen food
The nutritionist notes that fam
lily income appears to be unrelated
to whether family cans food at
home. Yet, she adds, studies have
shown that an average of 10 cents
can be saved when a quart of food
is canned at home. instead of being
bought. Savings are increased when
foods are homegrown as well as
canned there.

DECLINES IN OTHER STOCKS DURING 1857 ONLY

too long. But such a loss of interest
or decline in purchasing power,
over a few years, is not notable
compared with the possible decline
in stock prices during said period
When people ask me the best fer
tilizer for an orange grove | always
say: "The footprints of the owner" I"
Hence, I believe that the best OF all
possible land purchases for an in
fiation hedge is land adjoining what
you now own. This you can watch
and make more valuable. OF course,
you would not, buy land anywhere
that you did not first see. There IS
much land Outdoors" and no read
er will see anyone get monopoly
of it. In short, I believe imitation
is slowly coming as it always has
been; but it is nothing to get pan
icky about.

TWA flight 25 was scheduled to

planned to meet the flight, but ear

There are three auction houses in
Topeka and they have weekly sales,

We had left a console dining

wanted to be sure to attend in case
he felt he'd have to bid it in. The
table sold for a good price, SO we
were pleased. 1t was fun watch

The night after Mother ID. ar

Babson Discusses Hedges Against Initiation

as all the Congressman are up for
reelection this year, there is little
chance of their making these
recommended savings.
Stocks As A Hedge
The general feeling is that stocks
are the best hedge against imitation.
Let us look at the record:-This
talk about imitation started in 1851.
Here is what has happened to eight
stocks since then. But many readers

will say that these are hand picked.
o. K, but let me follow this 1851
1857 list with a more recent one
covering twelve other popular
stocks with g. average 1857 drop
of 65@o-70%o. In fact, the entire
stock market declined about 20 per
cent Surely, none of the stocks be-
low would have been good hedges
against imitation.

WINTER TO SUMMER

WINTER TO SUMMER
In many areas of the country spring wea-
ther has been disappointingly winterish
The long-range forecast for the weather
in the next few weeks Indicates that COM
paratively cool spring weather is in store
for many of us well into May
Actually, summer is not too far away,
and will arrive in June. Spring was suppos-
ed to arrive on March 10th, although the
nation experienced some bitter weather af-
ter this, and all through April, and some of
the Major League baseball teams played in
low 40-degree weather in the last days of
April.
The unreasonable weather this year was
not without its effect on the economy. 1t
was good business for fuel dealers, because
above-average quantities of fuel oil, coal,
ETC., were consumed. However, the tourist
trade in many areas suffered, and the loss in
revenue, coupled with the loss to winter
crops, is estimated in the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars.
Perhaps the tourist travel this summer
will make up for the loss in the winter-to
some extent. Crop losses, however, cannot
be made up, although the Department of Ag-
riculture reports that bumper crops are ex-.
pected this year because of favorable soil
conditions, and moisture in the mid-WeSts
and in other areas.
The only consultations we can offer those
who missed on spring are that severe winters
kill insects and bugs, make us enjoy summer
weather more, and prove once again that
there is no such thing as normal weather.

TOO SOON FOR AN OBITUARY
Newspapers have a reference room call
ed "the morgue" where they keep clippings
and obituaries of people famous or infam-
Gus. When prominent man dies, they haul
out his obituary and print it. -
Somebody did that with Mark Twain
once before he died and he made classic
reply. He said: Reports Of my death are
exaggerated"
Ever since 1855, when the Sak vaccine
was officially approved and licensed for use
by the u. S. Government, people have been
writing obituaries of paralytic polio. Polio,
they say, is finished. But like Mark Twain,
such polio authorities as the National FOun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis answer: "Re-
ports of polio's end are exaggerated"
True, 65 million Americans have had one
or more shots of Salk vaccine. But only 35
million have had the three shots prescribed
for full protection, and As million have had
no shots at ALL
True, the number of polio cases dropped
way down last year. But 1857 may have
been year of light polio attack. With three
out of seven susceptible people still unvac-
clnated, there is no guarantee that polio
cpidemics may not break out against next
summer.
The age groups that need vaccination
most are pre-School children, teen-agerS and
parents of young children. But there is
plenty of vaccine available now for every
body, regardless of age. It's the cheapest in
sIrance on the market

Land As A Hedge

A careful study of different forms
of investment teaches me that raw
land on dry ground ten miles of less
from small city or town has the
best record as an imitation hedge.
To secure such at the right price, it
should be purchased before it is
thought of for lots for develop
ment. However, even then, with
roads, electricity, water, and sew
age, it gives one real security. This
may be more important than profit.
Such land or small farms just out
side a town limit should be ex-
cellent hedges.
If you do not want to be bothered
with the taxes and care of such
land on dry ground ten miles or less
occupy but are to hold for specu-
lation, your broker will name some
land companies whose stocks are

OUR OWN IRON CURTAIN

If there were deliberate plans being car
ried on to promote socialization of industry
in the United States they couldn't be more
effective than the Interpretation of the In
ternal Revenue Act which would deny cleo
trio companies the right to charge advertis-
ing and publicity used to protect their bust
ness, to operating expense.
If this can be done by the Internal Reve-
nue. Service with electric companies the pro-
cess can be extended to any industry seeking
to defend itself against political plans to
substitute government ownership for pri-
vate ownership of property. The ruling
would naturally not apply to tax-exempt
government agencies which compete with
private business. This is pretty much like
tying a mans hands so his adversary can
beat him to death.
1t is unthinkable that in a free country
free enterprise should be subjected to puni-
tive tax interpretations which leave it and
freedom of expression subject to bureau
cratic whims.
By indirection this would tend to control
the press by discouraging the use of infor-
native advertising.
If such rulings can be enforced here by
a government bureau, we have little excuse
to talk about the iron curtain and its control
of thought and expression in Russia.
