through the Khyber Pass and in
to Afghanistan was described,
and her flight by jet plane to
Moscow. Mrs. Speakman de-
scribed the Russian people as
wanting peace, and she felt she

thing typically Russian, she
said, and told of shopping where
there is no competition in sales.
She spoke of the beauty of Len

visit to Salamanca, Spain, with

Public servants expect to be
criticized but generalizations are
dangerous, DR.. George R. Mill
er, Jr., state superintendent of
public instruction, said at din
ner meeting of the Smyrna Rot
ary Club Thursday. night at
which the teachers of the three
schools of the Smyrna Special
School District and the Clayton
School were guests at The Way
side Inn. Referring to state
ments made about public educa-
ton without getting the facts,
he quoted statement by Ber-
nard Baruch who said that the
people have a right to their
opinion, but not to be wrong in
their facts. 1t is a false assump-
ton to say that ANYONE can
teach;" teaching is not only an
art but science and there
should be more emphasis on in
tellect. The teachers influence
lives on and has the quality of
immortality, and to foster and
cherish democracy the country
could not exist without its pub
lie schools; "the stronger the
school system, the stronger the
country" he said in conclusion.
Leroy P. Piper was chairman of
the program. Introductions of
the several faculties present
were made by Willis E. Powell,

This Christmas column,
the 23d of an unbroken series,
is always one we approach
with mixed feelings.
The primary ingredients of
the mixture never change.
They are, first. a sense of
gratitude to the people men,
toned, each for having con-
tributed in some way to
having made this year an
easier or more pleasant, or
both, IL months in which to
have lived. The second, a
sense of chagrin that it in
evitably will not include
everyone who falls into that
category.

Enroute to Broadway, Miss
Marlowe got in some sum-
mertime music the eater

on the same stage in her

her mother once danced.
Ready for Anything
Prior to The Sound of
Music" there were two

turned them DOWNFALL I
knew then was how to sing.
This being my first show
I was prepared for anything"
she says. Il knew I had a
great deal to learn. After all,
I was only a television up

Miss Martin won her spe-
cial admiration:
She is so kind without
trying to be, and gives little
hints if anyone's listening.
She helped me a great deal
she'll probably never know
how much"
More to Learn
Miss Marlowe, now 80, is
planning further intensive
study in acting, singing and
dancing.
II feel there's a great deal
more to learn. and l think
there's a great deal more in
me to come out. I feel a great
need for acting.
This role has me as a
character actress with some

thought of myself in that
