occupations are dWindling. Fewer
and fewer Of us are needed for
farms and factories. A constantly
greater number is destined to the
so-called trades. professions and
services. all OF which involve con-
tact, communication, exposure Of
education, background and person

expose them.
A sin with educational f,mdamen-
tails. it seems to me, is this exaIni-
nation practice of having the stu
dent pick the correct answer from
number of answers including it.
Often he can arrive at it by mere
elimination or sheer luck. On the
other hand. elimination does in

Rules For Emergency
ReSuSifofion

Mouth to mouth resuscitation
can be administered successfully
in an emergency with no previous
experience if these illustrations
are studied and the instructions
remembered. The Red Cross, with
its emphasis on preparedness, ur-
ges every citizen to enroll in a first
aid class to learn all accepted
methods for saving lives.
First if there is foreign matter
visible in the mouth, wipe it out
quickly with your fingers.
l. Tilt the head back so chin is
pointing upward (Figure II. Pull
or push the jaw into a jutting-out
position. Open the mouth by plac-
ing your thumb in the corner of
victims mouth behind lower teeth;
pull back and up. Maintain this
holding position. Figure p.
2. Open your mouth wide and
place it tightly against the victims.
At same time, pinch victims nos
trils shut. (Or close victims mouth
and blow in nose in case teeth
are clenched) Blow into victims
mouth or nose. (Ffgure 81.
3. Remove your mouth, turn
your head to the side and listen
for return rush of air. (Figure A.
Repeat blowing effort. For adult,
blow vigorously, about IL breaths
per minute; for child, relatively
shallow breaths, 20 breaths per
minute.
4. If you are still not getting air
exchange. recheck head and Jaw
position. If you stin do not get air
exchange, quickly turn victim on
side and administer several sharp
blows between shoulder blades to
dislodge any foreign matter. Re-
turn to back and continue. Child
should be up-ended and held by
the ankles while slapping between
shoulder blades.

Essayist Discusses
Infermarriaqe And
Sex Relations

VALPARAISO, Ind. (SpeciaD - IF
two people, Negro and white, are
determined to have each other, the
Church's role should be to insist
that they do not do so clandestine-
ly and dishonorably, but within the
bonds of holy matrimony, blessed
by the rituals and prayers of the
church"
The statement was made in an
essay delivered July % by Rev.
Ralph Moellering to a professional
church peoples human relations
workshop at Valparaiso university.
Topic of the essay, fourth of six,
was Racial Intermarriage and
Sex Relations"
In the final analysis" the
speaker pointed out, selection of
a husband or wife is a matter of
personal preference. The Church
must recognize that there are no
Scriptural injunctions prohibiting
this step
One of the most dread conse-
quences Of preaching racial equali-
ty or of practicing integration in
the church is the presumption that
it will lead to sexual intercourse
or marriage between whites and
Negroes, he indicated.
Fiction, as well as undeniable
facts, should remind Christians
that sex relations between the
races is not an issue so delicate
that the church can afford to re-
main silent" Rev MoeIlering
charged.
The finding of anthropology and
sociology should be used to dissolve
die-hard superstitutions about mis-
cegenation, he suggested.
while in view of the social
repercussions and the heartache
that must ensue," the speaker con-
tinued, only the foolhardy would
recommend that people deliberately
cross the color line to seek their
marriage partners, the voice of the
Church must resound clearly in en-
phasizing marriage is honorable
in all, and the bed undefiled; but
whoremongers and adulterers God
will judge
I'm the present distress it
would seem advisable to caution
against sentencing ones self, ones
spouse, and ones offspring to the
penalties which are likely to be
imposed by cruel society" he
said.
St. Paul recorder., 1959-07-31
had shown them the way.

Not long ago a young mother
was so concerned about her chill
dren because they seemed to fuss
among themselves. Several of us
from large families assured her
they We're normal. The mother
was an only child and did not know
how much fun it was to always
have someone to play with. OF
course children didn't play all day
without a fuss, a fight or tears
but let alone, they soon made up
and were just as though nothing
had gone wrong.
She listened but still thought

them.
OF course it is rather hard to
try and eat their dough when they
get through with it but if they
want you to taste it after it is
cooked, don't let them see you hesi-
tate for fear of the dust you know
they got in it when they dropped
it and stepped on it.
They brushed it off with their
apron and tho you wanted to throw
it away they said it was their first
pie and would you please bake it,
so, looking at the tears, you put
it in the oven and oh what a smile
spread over their face. You did
try to taste the pie.
How happy you were when your
child grew up and told how CRATE
ful she or he was for everything
you had done for them. The boy
even told you he thanked you for
every whipping he got and even
though he knew he was not the
best nor the worst, he felt he might
have been so much worse if you
hadn't taken the time to teach him
right from wrong.
How sad for a boy or girl to
grow up and ask their parents
why didn't you teach me how to
do things like the others do?" It
takes a great deal of time and
patience to teach a child to say.
thank you. But if you love your
child you will teach it to take its
place beside other well trained
children. Don't let it go out just
as it grew. Teach it to take its
place and if necessary to step in
your shoes and take over keep
ing house.
Sometimes you will find a very
ungrateful child but not many. A
few children will take all and not
appreciate anything that has been
done by their parents. That is,
they make believe they do not ap-
preciate what was done for them
but they do. If they are successful
they feel they earned it, they did,
but the background was there.
The parents, by their example,

PROGRESS

The hill was quiet suburban rise,
Dressed soberly in oak-brush
brown,
Around her waist a knotted sash
The ragged main street of a town.
The small town grew: the hill was
shy
When they removed her weedy
lace;
She stood behind a screen of dust
While changes came to dress and
face.
Now she's become an urban height,
In velvet lawns and parkway
flowers,
Circled in stylish concrete belt,
With diamond lights for nighttime
hours.
