Safety Council Estimates 100 Traffic Deaths Over Memorial Day Holiday

CHICAGO R - The National Safety Council estimated as many as 100 persons might be killed in traffic over the Memorial Day holiday.

 The last one-day Memorial Day holiday was in 1857 when the traf- fife death toll was 94. The 15- year high for a comparable Mem orial Day holiday was 1O9 in 1856. The low as 81 in 1851.

X-I5 Rockets to New Speed Record Of 3.37O MPH

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calf R - A top test pilot push ed the X-15 to a new airplane speed record of 3,370 miles an hour, more than a mile a second. Only spacemen Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepherd have travelled faster.
 Joe Walkers new mark is 296 mph faster than the 3,074 set last April 21 by Air Force Maj. Bob White. Both flights are part of a series in which the rocket planes speed and altitude are being gradually stepped up to- ward goals of 4,0O0 mph and 100 miles high.
 Russia's Gagarin hit 17,000 mph in his orbit around the earth April 12. U. s. astronaut Shepherd sped 5,100 mph during a 115-mile rocket ride May 5.
 Unlike the spacemen, Walker had full control of the stub-Wing- ed X-15. Aim of his flight: to ex- plore the perils of heat, created by air friction as the plane re- enters thicker atmosphere from the nearly airless fringe of space.
 Dropped from a B-52 mother ship at 45,0O0 feet, Walker started his 57,000-pound thrust engine with a blast that showed him back hard in his padded seat.
 For 73 seconds Walker held his throttle wide open.
 He hit his peak speed of al most a mile a second - more than five times the velocity O. sound - in a steep climb at 90,. GOO feet.
 Then he shut off the engine and coasted upward to 10000 feet before nosing over for the glide back to base.
 For almost a minute, at the tor of his miles-long arc through the sky, Walker was weightless as his momentum temporarily overcame the pull of gravity.
 By comp parison, Shepard: weightlessness lasted almost five minutes, Gagarin's the full houl and half he was in orbit.
 Walkers flight lasted 13 min. uteS, longest ever.

South Korea Restores Some Army Units to
 LIN Commander Magruder
By Alan Cline

SEOUL, South Korea lR =
 South Korea's military rulers and U. s. Gen. Carter B. Magru- der agreed today on a compro- mise restoring to Magruder most of the operational control he ex- ercised over the ,000-man Korean armed forces before the coup last week.
 Magruder said he was not com pletely satisfied, that he consid- cred his authority as U. N. com mander in Korea had been Ire stored to a considerable degree, rather than fully"
 "Once authority has been flout- ed, it can only be re-established by it's implicit observance over a long period" said Magruder, who had unsuccesSfully called on the armed forces to withhold support from the rebels.
 The junta headed by It. Gen. Chang Do-Young agreed to return to the front $500 of the 1000 troops who seized Seoul on May Is and overthrow the elected gov ernment of Premier John M Chang.
 It was understood that Magru- der failed to win out in his de mand that he once more approve changes in Korean authority U. N commanders exercised before the coup. The junta leaders have re- placed - without Magruder's ap proval - several top command CTS who refused to back their re bellion.

Two Bad Effects
Of Consolidation

WHEN SCHOOLS ARE consolidated
two things become evident that few
people realize.
One is the breaking up of the neigh
borliness and friendliness of the COM
munity. Everybody got together in the
country school house for recreation.
The other is that children spend
hours riding a school bus, formerly
they walked or rode horseback, getting
plenty of fresh air and exercise to last
them for the day. They were ready to
learn.
I believe rural schools should be
kept open as long as there are pupils
to attend. Or two or three country
schools could consolidate to make a
good group of children. It will give the
teacher good training, too, which is
something that is lacking in school
teaching today in the big schools.
AS for the poor facilities provided,
don't think they are SO poor Children
learn resourcefulness. They'll be the
ones who can take over in times of
trouble, because they will know how
to make do with what they have.
Children in country schools learn
more, better and easier because a
teacher knows she has to teach right
or the next year will be harder for her.
AS for taxes, it shouldn't raise them
because we could pay teacher and
run a school easily for the wages the
school bus driver gets. - Mrs. Alvin
Cooper, Roosevelt County
Montana farmer-stockman., 1961-11-15
Consolidating Schools
Is Biggest Mistake

OUR COUNTRY SCHOOL was closed
this fall, the school which has seen
26 years of service to this area.
In five years we would have had II
youngsters in this school, although this
year we would have had only 8, the
required number to keep a country
school open.
Even if there are only few children
in school we believe they are better
off than in the over-crowded school
which they would have to attend which
is 20 miles of rough, sometimes i'm
passable road away.
We are not sending our child. We
feel child who has to arise at $50
am. to be ready for 7:30 am. bus
would be too tired to do good days
work. She would be home about Ais
or later on bad days. Maybe some
parents want to send small children
on long journeys to school but we don't.
Nothing can replace the country
school as far as we are concerned. The
child gets more individual attention
on every subject, which he wouldn't
get in school room with $3.50 children.
The biggest mistake the state has
made is consolidating the country
schools.
Our school was closed because they
needed the money to put into the ath-
letic fund. The Lodge Grass School is
one of these schools that spell knowl-
edge ATHLETICS.
We have one daughter who has
rheumatic fever and the doctor said
she couldn't possibly ride that far to
Montana farmer-stockman., 1961-11-15
Why Close One School
And Crowd Another?

UNDOUBTEDLY AT TIMES it is
desirable to consolidate but it seems
foolish to aggravate a situation by
closing a good, active school and add
ing more pupils to an already over
crowded school. ClaSsroOms and teach
ers must be provided for the children
no matter where they are, so why
close one school room and build another
at added expense?
It is true larger schools have adj
vantages no small school can have,
but the individual attention teacher
has time for in smaller schools is very
much lacking in larger schools, there
it is sink or swim.
When you are Is miles from an all
weather road and so miles from town,
it would be insane to put children on
a bus. The only alternative would be
for Mother and children to move to
town and leave Dad patching, which
would be hardship on the whole fam
lily. Don't we have enough divided
families now?
Just the other day I read that in
Chicago they are trying the old-fash-
ioned mixed-grade school room and
find it has many advantages over one
grade rooms So if the cities are con-
verting to country ways why should
we close our country schools and move
to town to get the same thing? - MRS.

Your Letters
Keep Young Folks
On Ranches

OUR SCHOOL HAS been opened and
closed as the number of children
changed. This school is one of two
schools in the district, and this prob
ably will be the last year for our
school unless we get more children in
our area, which is very doubtful. I
understand, too, that state aid to out
lying schools is being cut.
Next year we will be either forced
to send our children to the nearest
school which is 10 miles Zone way);
or move to one of two towns This
would be an added expense, as it
would necessitate buying or renting a
home, and would also mean being
away from my husband and the chill
dren's father for at least five days
week!
Next year two other schools in the
area will be faced with few pupils,
and eventually will have to be closed.
I do think it would be good to con-
SOlidate all the country schools in this
area and run a school bus. This would
make it possible for us to stay in our
ranch homes and not have to move to
town, at least while our children are
in grade school, Moving to town would
only help to crowd the town schools
still more. especially with so many
missile workers and families expected
to move in.
Consolidation would mean less hir-
ing of teachers, a better education and
facilities for ALL Children get a good
education in country schools even
now . +. with the wonderful books and
other school helps. A country school
teacher gives that individual attention
to each, which teacher in town can't
give, because she is overloaded. Let's
keep these country schools! We need
them! If we don't start retaining more
of these country schools, first thing
you know there'H only be older people
and childless couples on these ranches!
