Charles D. Jones to Host Charities Chats" Program Weekdays On KNOM-TV

A new program on KNOM-TV started this week and will be called "Charlie's Chats" The pro- gram started out as the Sen. Chas. D. Jones Hour, but the less formal title has been adopted. Manager w Brown said it is a policy of KNOM to present programs which are in the interest and for the betterment of Nome.
 "Charlie's Chats" will be de- voted to fun and facts material that are both current and about early Nome and will contain both serious and frivolous material.
 At present, on the serious side, the importance of maintaining the Land Office in Nome, is being stressed. Sen. Jones is donating his time and talent to bring before the people information which will enable them to use the Land Of flee for the purpose for which it is intended. Nome is lucky to have a man such as MT. Johnson in the land office to answer queS- tions and to explain how the people may take advantage of the opportunities presented here.
 On the fun side, the Midnight Sun Festival is being explained and advertised. Anyone who has pertinent material is asked to contact any one of the following: Johnnie Stephensin, Jean Burand, Mary Pitcher or Jo Decker, or call KNOM after 6:30 pm.
 Anyone with material to sub init on the serious side is asked to contact Charlie Jones. These are his progsams and he will vel come guests with material of fun or fact nature that will con- tribute to good of the town.
 The material will not be edited by the staff or management of the television station and the views and opinions expressed will not necessarily reflect those of KNOM-TV. But the facilities are being made available so that the unlimited talent going unused here may be brought before the public. With Sen. Charlie Jones as the host, these programs, though informal in nature, should be very interesting as well as educational.
 The program will be aired from 5 to 6 pm. weekdays, Monday through Friday.

form their duties in a profess
sional manner.
DR.. Richard B. Brooks, chair
man of the department of Edu-
cation at Longw wood College,
speaking to the Longwood Alum
nae Council at their fall meeting
this week end, went on to say
that the word professional, es-
pecially when linked with educa-
ton, has taken on meanings of
a derogatory nature. He referred
to quotation from one of our
state newspapers, 1.-The teaching
of English remains abysmally
poor, largely because the teach
ing of English remains profess
sionally in the hands of edu-
cationists, who have small feel
ing for Englush,' to illustrate
this point.
He stressed that some criteria
for a profession in the field of
education are not now being met;
that we have not yet demon
strated the existence of special
lied knowledge and skills to meet
the need of society for education
of its constituents: we lack the
power to impose standards Of Sc
lection and training of prospec-
tive teachers; and we have not
