Everybody GoOfs

Think about what you are
going to say, and say it to
the teacher-not to the class.
By directing your answer to
the instructor you will be
minimizing your embarraSs-
ment and giving your own
appearance a minimum of
consideration.
Just remember:
Mistakes are the rule, not
the exception in almost every
class.
There are a million things
worse than the "goof" you
could make.
Relax a little. You know
that you aren't the only one
who has made mistakes in
the past: What about the
fuzzy answers which have
Deen given by the top man
in the class? He, too, has
had moments when the
words didn't flow with crys-
tai clarity.
Be a little philosophical:
One mistake won't ruin
your grade.
One more stifled, shy "I
don't think I can answer"
might.
Keep trying, it may take
a few days. But it will come.

Book ScoffIows' Fuss
SURPRISES Librorion

EAST ORANGE, N. j., Feb. 9
(AP). - I'm surprised at the
fuss that's been stirred up"
said the mild-mannered IL
brarian whose complaints about
overdue books led to midnight
raids on IA homes in this sub
urban community. II just
wanted the books returned. !"
Harold L. Roth, the director
Of the East Orange Public Lii
brary. told his indignant fellow
citizens yesterday that arrests
would continue until all scof-
flaws returned their overdue
books.
The library and its director
entered the limelight Monday
night. when police staged a Sc
ries Of raids on the homes of
patrons who had been ignoring
Mr.. Roth's pleas to return bor-
rowed books.
Six persons unable to raise
500 bail each at that hour
were confined overnight at city
police headquarters.
Why were the arrests made
at that hour?
That's the best time to get
people at home In this town, -
one Of he arresting policemen
said.
Some Of the community's
citizens, irked at having to
share a jail cell with a drunk
and diSorderly person. had
sharp comments on the whole
procedure.
Its ridiculous" said Harold
F. Anderson as he showed up
in Municipal Court to pay q $25
fine. "They can make people
pay for the book If it's overdue,
but to take someone out Of his
house in the middle Of the night
seems like infringement Of q
persons rights"
So far IA persons have been
fined from $40 to $25 each and

A S. million program to at
tract more foreign tourists to
the United States has been
approved by the Senate Com
merce Committee.
Backed by President Ken

expanded Federal travel service
in the Commerce Department,
with authority to operate over
seas offices to help prospective
visitors arrange their trips to

Mr.. Kennedy, in a message to

reserves.
The Senate passed a similar
measure last year, but the

out for from five months to q
year.
Mr.. Roth said he was un-
happy to have to resort to such
methods to get his books back.
This is an expensive way to
collect books" he added. But
maybe the furor will awaken q
sense Of responsibility in per-
sons who now scott at the
notices we send them"
Mayor James w. Kelly last
night backed Mr.. Roth'S drive
to retrieve his books but said
there would be no more noe
turnal raids. .
He said Scofflaws should be
summoned to police headquar-
ters by telephone in the day
time. where they can be told
what they face If, they don't
return the books and pay the
fines" -
