Dear Mr.. Editor:
The time is nigh when school:

their kids off on the teachers, anC
blame them the rest of the yeal
because the kids won't learn any.
thing. The way size it up, most
of the trouble with the schools is
with the old folks.
People don't stay home like they
used to, Mr.. Editor, and bring VI
their children like they ought to-
And after they have neglected theii
duty, they lambast the kids and
call them juvenile delinquents. It's
about the unfairest thing in the
world, to always be blaming some
one else for your own neglect and
mistakes.
But that is what they have beer
doing to the teachers every since
folks began helling around at
night, gadding about in automo-
biles, attending parties, and leav-
ing their kids to fend for them
selves.
I'll admit that all our teachers
aren't what they ought to be, but
no wonder people don't flock to this
profession; no wonder they get
married at the first chance, and
leave it for something else. How
can you expect anyone with re-
finement to endure the kind of riff
raft, discourtesty, and lack of at.
ton that parents breed for them
these days.
It's also pretty hard on those
kids whose parents have brought
them up with some degree of de.
cency and refinement.
Another thing, Mr.. Editor, it's
got so it's mighty hard to get the
right kind of people to serve or
the school committee. Used to be,
when every neighborhood had a
school, there were plenty willing to
serve on the committee, just to get
the teacher to Board.
But times have changed might
ly. Teacher don't stay in one place
much, for school knocks off early
on Friday, and a lot of them are Off
like a streak, for a week end out
of town.

UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK WRITES
Don't Expect Too Much Of the teacher;
Stay Home More and Raise Your Own Kids

if people would stop grumbling
about their kids not being taught
anything. They ought to all have
to spend day in school and watch
what is going on. Maybe they'd
see one or two kids who really try
to learn, they having been brought
up rightly at home.
l also want to mention that our
folks are still grumbling about hot
weather and mosquitoes. 1t seems
about all that is done about mo-
squitos is a waste of money. 1t
seems to be human nature to grum-
BILE about something, and when
they amt anything to grumble
about they go out of the way to
look up something.
Like in one neighborhood where
well to do man offered to build
them new church and when they
had seen the plans, they wouldn't
have it because he didn't put in a
bell and a steeple.
It's just human nature to grum-
BILE and be dissatisfied, instead of
looking around for something for
which to give thanks. The world us
so full of blessings that we ought
to get on our knees in gratitude.
Take men for instance: they
have always complained tn at
women don't have brains. Men
should teach themselves to be con-
tent. ANYBODY who wouldn't be
satisfied with what a woman al
ready has isn't any too bright.
Women don't need anything else.
Yours for good schools and
pretty teachers,

RECORDS BRINGS
HIGHWAY PATROL
AWARD 3RD TIME

RALEIGH-For the third time
in as many years Americas high
est honor for police work has gone
to the commanding officer and men
of the North Carolina State High
way Patrol, the Motor Vehicles De-
partment announced this week.
Vehicles comm issioner Ed
Scheidt said he had been informed
by Alfred 7. Smalley president of
the International Association of
Chiefs of Police, that the Tar Heel
troopers had been voted the "Out-
standing Achievement Award" for
their operation during 1858.
Scheidt, and IACP member for
IL years and nationally regarded
enforcement figure, said the award
is conceded by top police officials
to be the ultimate professional
honor.
The North Carolina patrol has
taken the award yearly since 1856,
Scheidt said, and for two years
prior to that received a "Certifi-
cate of Achievement"
The judging by IACP officials
was based on North Cardinals
overall performance in the traffic
safety field with emphasis on "Po-
lice traffic supervision"
The 606-man Tar Heel patrol is
commanded by Col. James r.
Smith, a charter member of the
original patrol organized 80 years
ago.
Since 1854 the highway patrol
has pioneered in scientific enforce
ent techniques which, according to
Col. Smith, has largely been re-
sponsible for the national recogni-
ton.
"These techniques, refined and
practiced for the past few years
have brought the patrol to a state
of efficiency and effectiveness few
other organizations can MATCH"
Col. Smith said. "Our training
program, policies and administra-
lions all are patterned to meet pub
lie need, and it's this responsibility
that governs all the highway pa
trolls activities. We consider the
patrol not only enforcers but 'buf-
fers' between the ordinary law
abiding motorist and that small
segment which refuses to comply
with the law"
The patrol boss said the National
Safety Council was among a num-
Der of organizations sending letters
of commentator. Gen. G. C..
Stewart, executive vice-president
wrote, "These awards are not light
ly given and it required outstand-
ing leadership and sterling per-
Torrance to achieve it. In view of
the increase in traffic fatalities
throughout the nation this year, we
are relying on organizations such
as yours to make that extra effort
which will make it possible to check
this trend and hold the line"
Formal presentation ceremonies
probably will occur at the fall
meeting of the Governors Traffic
Safety Council, Col. Smith said.

TIL E P A S 7
By CAROLYN LLOYD

Two things l hope to live long
enough to see: air conditioned
school buildings and noiseless
power mowers. If they are too long
coming, it may be that / will be
in no condition to enjoy either, but
it win be nice to know that others
are reaping the benefits of pro-
greSs.
It is true that many generations
have survived going to school in
hot weather, but there is no proof
that they were any smarter for be-
ing uncomfortable. To say that it
was hot on the afternoon of Thurs
day, August 81, is an understate-
ment. Propriety forbids my saying
just how hot it was as l stood be-
fore my class of wilted students. AS
l brushed the millionth gnat from
under my glasses with one hand
and took a swipe at fly with the
other. my glance fell upon a
startling sight at the back of the
room. Protruding into the aisle was
a bare foot, heel down, toes wigg-
ling. Pretending not to notice,
glanced over the next aisle just in
time TO see a head gently collapse
upon the desk as boy fell asleep.
Now, it is not my custom to ignore
such casual conduct in the class
room. but circumstances alter even
a teachers attitude toward disci-
pline. I, too, would have liked to
: shed my shoes and wiggle my toes,
and I truly envied anyone who
could escape the heat in sleep.
Through the windows, along with
the gnats and flies, came the putt
putt of the power mower as John,
the janitor, attacked the campus
grass. Not under my window, how
ever, for John good humoredly ac-
cepts my protests that my vocal
chords aren't equipped to compete
with the noise of his mower. Some
how there is no escaping the things,
for if my lawn isn't being moved,
someone else's is. Progress can be
noisy, but some day some smart
boy is going to figure out how to
cut the grass without disturbing
the peace.
As for the air conditioning, it is
not unbelievable that some day the
atmosphere of school room will
be conducive to learning even in
August. Numerous churches are
air conditioned today in spite of the
attitude of some people that it is
more devout to be uncomfortable.
Ten years ago people would have
scoffed at air conditioners in priv
ate homes and considered it mighty
uppity of anyone to desire more
than the natural breezes and an
electric fan. Until the happy day
when progress makes it respectable
to work without undue suffering,
perhaps we shall just have to try
to remember last December when
snow covered the ground and we
longed for the summer sun. Or
perhaps we should think of the old
man I quoted once before who, as
he shivered on the corner on a
windy day, sighed, "Oh, wind,
where was you last August"

Indians Worship
AWeird Figure

Arriving at Zunil several
hours later friendly natives
pointed out the small adobe
hut where San Simon could be
located. Over the incense
blackened archway hung a
small, crude cross, made from
dried yellow corn huSks.
AS I timidly approached, a
wild, savage-looking, barefoot
ed and thoroughly drunken
Indian emerged from the dark
ness and, in a near frenzy, de-
manded the nature of my busi-
ness. His name, he babbled
was Venture Chey, and he was
the village witch doctor and
protector Of the idol.
Although I offered him
money, which he quickly ac-
cepted, he was still adamant
about my entering San Simon's
sanctum. 1t was only after I
made an offering of two pack
ages Of cigarettes to San Simon
that Venture Chey permitted
me to pass.
The room was filled with the
pungent smell Of incense which
the Indians burned in black
ened tin pans. and a weather.
beaten table to the right of the
idol was heaped high with
offerings Of cigarettes, cigars.
bouquets of flowers and money.
A scrawny, yellow cat ftfully
dozed in the still warm ashes
OF an old fire.
Villagers told me that the
origin of San Simon is clouded
In mystery, but that it is be-
lieved to have been in existence
for over a century and has been
in the possession of various
families over the years. The
government and church would
like to destroy the idol, but
fear that it would set the In
dians on bloody rampage.
Coming out of his drunken
stupor Venture Chey decided

an official at 1890 pm, busi-

reception at 6 pm, formal

Old Story
We are all too familiar with
the type of thing the Chief
Executive faces.
We once visited seven coun-
tries in IL days-making the
too often made mistake of the
American traveller in trying to
see too much in too little time.
But for the working traveller.
it is always thus.
Take away a day and a half
from that IL days for travel
time, another half a day for
packing, unpacking, and check
ing into and out of hotels, and
you have an idea of the
leisurely pace at which we be-
