Scholarship Prime Objective

THIS is the football season and the
thing that concerns many an adult
in our community at this time Of year
is whether the local schools football
team will win it's next game - or win
the championship in its district or class
ification.
It's good, of course. for the adults to
be interested in sports, but in some
communities too much emphasis is
placed on athletics and not enough on
scholarship. School officials do not
make this mistake; the people who
usually fall into this category are adults
who love sports and enjoy watching
the football games
In some communities the adults take
over to such an extent that tremendous
emphasis is placed on football. The
number one job Of any school, though,
is learning, and scholarship. The two
are not incompatible. But primary en-
basis, in schools, must be on scholar
ship
1t is not a question of being for one
and against the other 1t is a question
of perspective and both scholarship and
athletics have their place But scholar
ship in our schools must be number one.
That, certainly is the main function of
our school system and adults should be
careful to stress the value Of good
scholarship as much as they do other
things.

IT'S ,Taint

ISN'T it strange how exercised some
people get over elections? One can
think moment and the names of the
most vociferous Democrats and Re-
publicans come to mind
\ II Democrat said it, it's right. If a
Republican said it, it's wrong Or - if
It came from the Republicans, it's sound
IT it's Democratic statement, it's left
wing propaganda. These people have
their minds made up, closed, and what
ever happens, they will always be on
the same side
There are others, who might change
from time to time, and this element is
majority. These votes try to weigh
the facts Certainly they will study the
candidates. They will try to make the
best choice.
The funniest human being of all is
the one who knows he knows what the
two president candidates really think,
and what they will really do - in con-
trast to the obvious or expressed inten-
eioiio' 1IS tdu Ccll you quickly why
you're fool if you don't vote his way.
Close and contested election bring
out the real American in this Republic.
We all have right to our opinions. And
any OF us might be right - and the next
fellow wrong. The guiding and main
principle for intelligent citizens, how
ever, is to remember that the next man
might be right
That means even if you are hest
tant to admit it - that you may be
wrong. So it is never we'll to get emotion
al about elections Vote your conviction.
Allow your neighbor to vote his. If he
disagrees with you. smile about it and
realize he may be right.
And see if you can be better friends
with those who disagree with you. That
is the mark Of maturity, wisdom and
tolerance

Supermart Government

A BOUT the best remark made at a re-
cent conference Of state governors
came from federal official - Budget
Bureau Director Maurice H. STAINS. He
said: Government at all levels must
cease trying to be supermarts for every
imaginable public service, and instead
concentrate on essentials"

afford so much And if government con-
tinues spending orgy long enough it,

History Repeats Itself
My reason for giving the above
illustrations is to warn investors
that the market for electronics
stocks will probably go through
the same history. In other words,
of the forty popular electronics
stocks in which people are now
specializing. probably over thirty
will go through severe reorgani-
cation and most of them will go
out of business. Yet the industry
as a whole will be a great and
permanent one. Let me explain
one reason for this last state.
ment.
Thus far. the electronics indus
try has depended very largely
on defense spending. Present talk
about a reduction of ornaments
gives the electronics people the
filters; they wonder what they
will do when, as. or if there
comes a reasonable peace. This
must come about some day, or
else we will all go broke from
armament expenditures or World
War III. Electronic attenuation
is inevitable; but it must come
slowly. It is very expensive for
private manufacturers to change
their plants over to electronic
attenuation.
The electronic experiments at
the Providence, r. l., post office
may hold the answer. The gov
eminent, to prevent unemploy-
ment, could greatly help the in
dustry by operating all their i'm
portant post offices electroni-
cally. This would take some time
and, in the meantime, prevent
