Right now the foreign trade of
the West is much greater than that
Of Russia. Unless we become
panicky. we can hold our own in
any such trade contest with the
Kremlin. Eventually. our side could
be strongly bolstered by a solid
trade alliance between the U. S.,
the Common Market, and the pro-
posed Outer Seven European Free
Trade Area now being promoted
by Britain In the meantime we
must fight initiation. keep our costs

largely responsible for much of our

announced. That study will require
great deal Of local coordination
to produce needed results, he noted.
THE financing program is not a
primary function of the American
Cancer Society,"" declared Woodahl.
ITO interest people in cancer edu-
cation and service activities is a
function Of the society" he said. but
the big question. why does the So
ciety refuse to allow local units to
affiliate with Community Chests
and United Funds?' was yet to be
answered.
Chest Question
The American Cancer Society
has tried both participating and not
participating in united fund efforts,
and we have found that in united
funds we do not do well either in
involving people the educational
phase, or in raising funds" he
stated. BY December 81, all units
now in united campaigns must with
draw. There are ten such units in
Virginia.
An invitation from the Prince Ed
ward Community Chest was turned
down by the local unit last spring.
Workers for the unit have been
hard to obtain since that time, and
the Crusade was an uphill endeavor
all the way. Support of the society
from civic organizations and the
business community has weakened
since that time, making it neces-
sary to determine whether an ac-
tive unit can continue here.
A roundtable discussion after
Woodahl's talk faced up to the real
istic situation-the people in Farm
vile would welcome the society into
the Chest, but as an independent
drive, no. Most Of the members in
attendance were definitely in favor
Of continuing the active unity by
transferring the leadership to rural
areas Of the county.
All agreed the work was quite es-
sential and Mrs. F. j. Clements
service report showed that more
than just a fund drive was included
in the units program She reported
that 500 dressings made by Home
Demonstration Club members were
available at the Health Department,
that two beds and other equipment
were available at the loan closet set
up at Collins Funeral Home, and
400 dressings had been used by
three patients this year.

was, in his opinion, designed to fill the
needs of farming economy, where child
labor was needed.
SIT wasn't bad idea then" he said,
"but we live in completely different world"
AS it is, he added, thousands of children
are sent home on vacations where they have
absolutely nothing to do.
Anne Tyler of Mckinley Highs ''Tech
Life" asked DR.. Hansen "Will there be any
noticeable changes in the present curric-
ulum?"
The 16-year-old editor-reporter was told
that some of the most important changes
would be made in language, science and
mathematics instruction.
More Russian
Dr. Hansen said that plan to require
students to take single language for four
years is now being considered.
"You actually need at least four years
before you can really speak and understand
language" he said.
Also questioning the superintendent on
language education was Jeane Ward OF the
Burdick Vocation Schools "Burdette Beep."
DR.. Hansen told Jeane that Russian will
be offered in more high schools this coming
year and in the future but that four-year
program is not feasible now.
In response to a question from Paul
Shahady, of the st. Johns Sabre" DR.. Han
sen said science and mathematics programs
will be expanded and the advance planning
of such programs will be carried out in more
detail.
AS in language education, schools may
come up with three-year science program.
The youngest reporter of the group,
Wendell Joice, IA, of the Langley Junior
High Langley Light" asked Dr. Hansen to
explain future plans for bright student
classification.
Honor classes would be started at the
Fourth Grade level this year, he explained.
The abilities of the children are closer to-
gether at that level, he added
The students gave last added profess
sional touch to the conference with THANK

81 got the feeling that I understood
him." said Charles Jewell, editor of Wilson's
Beacon" 81 think know now how he thinks
and agree with him."
The superintendent himself was pleased
with the results of the press conference. He
told the students to consider the formation OF
a city-wide "preSS club" to interview school
officials regularly at similar press con-
ferenceS
Charles told DR.. Hansen he would look
into the possibility of organizing such confer
ences during the school year.
It was Charles who asked one OF the
opening questions at the 45-ninute press
conference.
"How do you plan to expand the school
day, if at alp" he wanted to know.
DR.. Hansen told him that more flexibillty
in the length of the school day may come
within the next two or three years. He said
the day would not be heightened for all the
students but that courses such as driver train
ing and music may be scheduled before or
after the regular school day.
Following the line of questioning, Ben
Walker of the Jefferson Junior High Jour-
nal" asked, "Why is there such push to
lengthen the school year into the hot sum-
mer? Will these efforts continue?"
