We have available materialistic wealth,
but do we have the determination to

this advancement? We must develop
power for logical thinking and merge
our efforts with Nature to elevate the

certain Navajo society. and the nature
of its existence defines h e spiritual,
political. a n d economic forces which
directly or indirect ly control the destiny
of the Navajo. The mechanism which
develops, maintains, or destroys these
forces can almost absolutely be associa-
ted with the ability of Man to reason.
Perhaps we can go further and equate
reason to the mechanism. The quality
of this power of reasoning will definit
ely give us some idea on the nature Of
the existence of these forces
Therefore, it is extremely important
that we question the nature of our rea-
soning ability. If any individual poss-
esses a mind that is highly qualified in
regard to reason, there will exist high
probability that the individual will be
interested in developing an effective
system of control over the various for

One may ask, how does one 90 about
questioning the nature of ones reason

A certain portion of the answer lies
within ones association with the var

Assistant Postmaster Cor

In past years the number

But this year the number

Fringe Pay
Urged for
euchers

The question Of providing
certain fringe benefits for Falls
Church teachers next year will
be explored by Supt. Irwin H.
Schmitt.
School board member H. p.
Strople asked for the fringe
benefit study during last
nights school board meeting.
The issue was raised when the
Superintendent asked for board
suggestions Of items to be in
cluded in the 1960-6l school
budget.
Mr.. Strople defined his pro-
posal as a study of various
ways Of rewarding teachers
other than just salary incre-
ments." He suggested, for in
stance, that graduated scale
of annual and sick leave for
teachers might be considered,
similar to the Federal Govern
ment's leave system.
Questioned after the meet
ing on the annual leave pro-
posal. Mr.. Schmitt noted that
teachers already received au-
tomato leave during school va
cations. Extension of the cur
rent three-day emergency leave
might be more feasible, he said
In addition to the emergency
leave, Falls Church teachers
are granted Is days sick leave
during the school year.
Mr.. Schmitt noted that group
plans might be considered fol
a fringe benefit, together with
longevity pay. Neighborine
school systems offer such ben.
efits.
The superintendent indicated
he would not favor a merit pay
plan for the city teachers
"Superintendents usually stay
clear of the merit idea," hi
explained, because it is so hare
to administer" He added thai
the merit system can only be
workable if it is planned for ir
close cooperation with the
teachers themselves.
The superintendent also wa'
asked by board member Ber.
nard Russell to include "a
least a third year of at leas
one foreign language, prefer
ably French" in the 1880 higf
school curriculum. Falls Church
now offers only two years o.
French, Spanish and Latin
The lack of a third-year langu'
age course is "a glaring omis'
sion in our curriculum" Mr
Russell said.

How far out is the "out" in
"Out Of TOWN."
The question comes up each
Christmas time and, as far
as officials down at the City
Post Ofice are concerned. the
answer never gets across.
People--at least those who
send Christmas cards-have
got it in their heads that Alex
andria or Arlington or Wheaton
or Brentwood are Gin" town.
And with that in mind, they
bundle up a load of Christmas
cards bound for these points
and label the bunch "AIl For
Local Delivery"
Such is the leading problem
for the City Post Office at
Christmas time. 1t has re-
placed the one caused by the
late Christmas mailer who
finally has started to mail
early.
Seven Names to Remember
The Post Office does its best
to get the difference over about
the Gin" or "out" status sur
rounding communities find
themselves in. Labels are
passed out each year by mail
men, listing "in" town points.
But the list is usually quickly
lost in the common household
and the only solution may be
for the common householder to
turn off the television set and
memorize seven names.
! In" town, at least to post
men, is:
Washington,
Bethesda,
Capitol Heights,
Chevy Chase.
Seat Pleasant,
Suitland and
Takoma Park.
"Out" of town, could be
Bladensburg, or Kensington, OF
Mt. Rainier, or Silver Spring
or Falls Church, or San
Francisco, New York or Dallas
for that matter.
Other Name Troubles
Getting the labels on the
right bundle means one ster

men said, noting that this was

The PTA urged the board to
build six more classrooms in the
school. which now has Is. The
student activities room and the
library are being used for classes
now, the PTA said. The board
said it would try to give tempo
rary relief with mobile class
rooms.

board to renovate the schools

tive offices. The board said thi;

A variety store employe who
sold five steel-tipped arrows to
two boys last Sunday Just be-
fore they fatally wounded pet
dog with one of the shafts to-
day faced prosecution under
the city code.
Backing up threats to prose-
cute persons who sell such OBJ
jects to youngsters, Assistant
Corporation Counsel Clark
King today issued papers
against Samuel L. Humes, jr.
SO, of 5l28 Twelfth street NE.
Mr.. King said Mr.. Humes
sold the arrows to two boys,
II and IA, at Hume's Variety
Store, 421 H street NE. Mr..
Humes was charged with selling
a dangerous missile to a minor.
Earlier today, Inspector John
E. Winters, head of the Youth
Aid Division, recommended to
Police Chief Robert v. Murray
that the police strictly enforce.
regulations against the sale to,
juveniles under 18 of danger
GUS toys or weapons such as;
guns, BIB guns and bows and
arrows. ~
IF those arrows could kill D.
dog they could also kill or Sc
riously injure a human being,
Inspector Winters declared.
Mr.. King said arrows come
under a section of the District
Code which prohibits the sale
of such articles to juveniles
under 10. Mr.. King added that:
he would prosecute any persons
who sell such implements to-
children. 81
Inspector Winters said that
any parent who buys such a
weapon or dangerous toy for
his children also could be prose-
cuted under the regulations.
In his recommendation to
Chief Murray, Inspector VIM
ters cited Police Regulations
which provide that "it shall not
be lawful for any person, firm
or corporation to give, sell, lend,
rent or otherwise transfer to
any child or children under Is
any firearms, air rifles. air guns,
air pistols, BIB guns, spring
guns, blow guns, bow gun, am
munition, gunpowder, gun cap.
cartridge primer. dynamite cap
or detonator. BIB shot, pellet.
projectile, dart or other dan
gerous missile or explosive"
This covers bows and arrows
as well, Inspector Winters said.
A further section of the reg
ulations, Inspector Winters
said, makes it unlawful for any
person under 18 to carry any
of the before-named toys or
weapons out of doors.
In asking a police breakdown
on the sale of such implements,
Inspector Winters said he rec
commended to Chief Murray
that a memorandum be sent to
all precinct commanders to no.
tify merchants that sales Of
weapons to juveniles was vio-
lation and that the law would
be enforced. b,
Furthermore, Inspector Win
tiers said, he recommended
that youths carrying such toys
, and weapons out of doors be
picked up by the police. =
