and his top.
The Fourth Reader begins "sectarian
teaching" we presume, and this poem
caught our fancy:
T is royal fun. cried lazy Ned,
ITO coast upon my fine, new sled,
And beat the other boys;
But then, I can not bear to climb
The tiresome hill. for every time
It more and more annoys.''
So. while his schoomateS filed by,
And gladly tugged uphill. to try
Another merry race.
Too indolent to share their plays.
Ned compelled to stand and gaze
While shivering in his place
Thus, he would never take the pains
To seek the prize that labor gains,
Until the time had passed:
For. all his life. he dreaded still
The silly bugbear of uphill,
And died Ounce at last.
William Holmes McGuffey, 1800-1873,
of Scotch-Irish ancestry, was born in
Western Pennsylvania He began teach
ing in Subscription rural schools" at
the age of -, having had limited
home training He taught for eleven
years, to continue his education at
Greesburg Academy, graduating from
Washington College in 1926. He taught
ancient languages at Miami of Ohio
College and established model school
for neighborhood children at his home.
In 1885 he compiled four readers, which
were used universally in common
schools" in the South and became presi-
dent of Cincinnati College in 1889. In
1845, McGuffey was the beloved pro-
fessor of mental and moral philosophy
at the University of Virginia, where he
died in 1873
Our younger subscribers will do
we'll to read some of McGuffey's Read
ers, and our oldest subscriber will re-
member when they struggled with Nc
Guffey's Readers as children, and every
one should be introduced to McGef-
fey, just as the school children of Twin
Lakes, Wisconsin, will be.
There is still hope when school
board will recognize a phonetic ap-
proach, larger vocabulary and moral
values.

another fence, with barbed wire
and trip wires. And back of that,
along this particular strip of bor-
der, is row of World War II
dragons teeth" which serve
supposedly as tank obstacles.
Watch towers are placed at
intervals along the fences to
give border police a clear view
Of the obstacles. Nestled in a
little valley between two Of these
towers is or was - the little
Czech town of Sloponay. Today
it is clear of civilians, and their
place has been taken by COM
pany of border guards.
Then, there is the larger OBJ
servation post some miles to the
northwest where troopers of
Capt. John E. Rodolph's Troop
c keep watch over East Ger
many across the Saale River.
The view from this point shows
an East German autobahn lead
ing to a destroyed bridge, an
East German Cor Soviet radar
tower are in the distance, an
East German border patrol just
across the river, and several OBJ
Servation posts from which the
East Germans look back at the
Americans, and at the West Ger
mans who aid and abet the al
lied cause.
The observation teams at such
posts have their own new MIA
rifles and M-60 machine guns.
But more Importantly for their
mission, they have instantaneous
communication (by telephone
and radio) with their platoon and
troop headquarters. And from
those levels, help in the form
IF tanks and armored personnel
carriers can get moving within
Is minutes.
These American soldiers along
the border are not playing at
war: they are, in very real
sense, at war. They reflect
feel of actual engagement, partly
because of their physical position
on the spot and partly because
Of the sense Of meaning instilled
in them by their regimental
commander. Col. Lawrence E.
Schlanser.
The colonel is himself one of
those rarities of the modern
army, an old-time horse cavalry
man (although far from an old
mani. BY what proved to be
fateful coincidence. his first as
signment on graduation from
West Point in 1885 was to this
same regiment, then horse
cavalry outfit at Fort Riley, Kan.
He came back to the End in
1910 and then for the third time,
was assigned to the unit as its
commanding officer in 1859. To
add to the condolences, that
original assignment to the End
back in 1885 resulted in his
marrying the daughter of the
1t h en- regimental commander,
Col. Dorsey r. Rodney. tOnly
last June, the Schlansers' daugh-
ter was in turn married to an
officer of the End, 1t. Robert W.

which it passed in World War II
as it drove into Czechosloyakia.

It's Not Just Years

used to think that growing old
Was reckoned by the years,
But who can soy name the day
When WEAKNESS appears?
I've found no certain time when man.
Obedent to some low
Must settle in an easy chair
And from all work withdraw
Our years Of life but little mean,
Or so it seems to me.
I've seen men old at forty-one,
Some young at seventy
do not Judge mans age by years
Or temples turning groy.
No man is old whose heart is young
As he goes on life's way.
What if no more he now can dance
With Youths elastic sprinq9
Within his mind there interests are
To which he still does cling
It's by his acts, his oge we tell
And Judge how old he be;
I've seen old at forty-one,
Some young at seventy.
Some men can keep old friendships
And welcome friendships new.
They do not NOPE sit and mourn
For what they could do.
Each doy that drows they greet with Joy
And do not at fote,
But rather they will meet each day
With heart and mind eote.
From thoughts Of fear and things men dreod,
They keep their thinking free;
While some seem old at forty-one,
some young at seventy.
So much they find thot they may do
So much in which to share:
With hearts og|ow and minds alert
For years they do not core.
And SO I've learned from men I've
That they alone old
Who think because Of years they've lived
The tale Of life is told.
For oge is not how long lives,
Or might
Men old and bent at forty-one,
Some young at seventy
No, no, my friends, it's not just years
That make men young or old.
1t more depends on how we think
BY which our oee is told

Shades of McGuffey

OUT in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, school
patrons filled the village hall and
some stood outside listening through
the open windows to discus
sion of the use of McGuffey's Readers
in the Twin Lakes School. Thirty men,
ance sought to remove the reader from
school use to prevent sectarian teach
ing in public schools. The school board
voted 4 to l to retain the Readers as
supplemental reading at the direction
of one of the teachers because it fol-
lowed a phonetic approach to read
ing, used larger vocabulary and ex-
pounded moral values" However, the
principal did not favor use Of the Read
er because 1T entails lot of work for
the students to comprehend them"
We "got down" our old McGuffey
Readers and enjoyed looking over
them. From the Primer to the Fifth
Reader the contents and the illustra-
.tions are intriguing. We do not have the
originals in our home library, and doubt
that many larger libraries do, but we
have revised edition copyright 1909
by Henry H. Vail and published by
American Book Company Very few of
our subscribers will remember McGuf-
fey's Readers, but those who do, will
find sufficient nostalgia in the revised
edition.
The school board in Twin Lakes was
correct. From the Primer through the
Second Reader. emphais is on phonetics,
and, of all things, penmanship. Intro
duction to poetry is given in the Third
Reader and the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
Readers really would ''entail lot of
work for the student to comprehend
them"
For a bit of nostalgia for our older
subscribers we will quote bit:
From the First Reader
The sun is up. The man has fed the black
hen and the fat duck.
Now the duck will swim in the pond The
hen has run to her nest
Let us not stop at the pond now. for it is
hot.
See how still it is! We will go to see Tom

Anchorage Tavern Owner Shot to Death

ANCHORAGE lB - City police reported Curtis B. Scott, Al, part owner of the Nevada Tavern, was shot three times and killed by a ianitor whom Scott pistol-Whipped during an argument over money Sunday in the tavern.
 Authorities said the janitor, Hillman Ingram, 54, admitted the shooting and was charged with first degree murder minutes after the shooting. He was arraigned before Magistrate Everett Harris and freed on $30,000 bail.
 Scott, freed in 1859 in the shoot ing of a bartender, was shot as he stood in the Nevada Cafe, which is connected to the bar. h. gram told police he fired three times and Scott fell.
 In describing his relations with his employer, Scott owed him S5,000, Ingram said, and the argu- ment broke out about it at the bar.
 In the presence of the manager of the bar, Joseph Walsh, Scott struck Ingram over the right eye with .38 caliber revolver.
 The pistol discharged, the bull let apparently grazing Ingram over the eye.
 Ingram then went to his car, returned with revolver and re- entered by the rear door. When he was about eight feet away from Scott, Ingram opened fire.

< attersOn KOS lngo in 9th Round, Retains Crown

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. lR - Heavyweight Champion Floy d Patterson's sixth round knockout of gambling Ingemar Johansson has ended their thrilling, three fight, international series.
 But what's ahead for the champion, happy in victory but disappointed over his perform ance, probably won't be known for a while.
 A left hook to the jaw, a right to the jaw and a chopping right behind the SWede's left ear end- ed Johansson's bold bid to regain the crown at 2:45 of the sixth round of the scheduled 15-rounder in Convention Hall.
 But the 20612 pound Viking, shrugged off again as a Al un- derdog, almost pulled off another startling upset in the first round when he floored the slow-starting champ twice with humping jolts to the jaw with his trusty right. Ingo, himself went down from left hoop to the jaw in the pull sating first round that had the 15,000 fans roaring.
 Ingo came to fight, and no ques- ton about that. He was in there all the way and was going after the 19434 pound champion when Floyd struck with his flashing combination left and right in the sixth round.
 The husky SWede rose up on one knee but then fell back as his legs twisted. He tripped and fell back at the final count of ten.
 He said he would like to fight Patterson a fourth time, but the New Yorker said that's out and other contenders will get the chance.

SENATE APPROVES DRIVERS LICENSE REVOCATION

JUNEAU LR - A bill which would make the suspension of drivers licenses mandatory in all drunk driving and reckless driv- ing convictions was unanimously approved in the Senate.
 The periods of revocation would not exceed 30 days on first con- victions, one year on a second conviction and three years or third or subsequent convictions for driving while under the in- fluence of intoxicating liquor.

Nome Chamber Meeting News

Judge and Mrs. H. Gilbert were welcomed back to Nome at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon Monday noon. Judge Gilbert re- ported on attending the State meeting of the Chamber at which he sat in with the Economic De- velopment Committee which made recommendations on fisheries, power, railroads and Arctic wild life.
 Thinking of the needs of this district, Judge Gilbert, brought to the committee request for study of the reindeer industry to see if it was feasible for expansion of the industry.
 President Don Hoover reported on meeting of the heads of sev- eral civic organizations who met to coordinate plans where their projects were overlapping, and which resulted in learning about projects which had not hitherto been known.
 Among these were the planned broom sale for Cleanup Week by the Lions who will use the proceeds to buy glasses for needy children; Jaycees promoting and sponsoring street signs and live reindeer for the races throughout the summer; Rotary to move an old locomotive to town as a tour ist attraction; Chamber to have a source of supply for costumes for the Festival. All groups plan to cooperate on Cleanup Week, stated Hoover.
 Other plans in the making by the groups, unless some individ- ual takes it up as business, would include re-activation of a short run by the narrow gauge railroad, sled rides all summer with wheels under the runners with rides rnoti- vated by either dogs or reindeer.
 Many ideas are being created which may develop into private enterprise, such as the summer dog team rides as this would pro- vide an income for some family with teen-age children who own a dog team and the same goes for families with reindeer herds.
 Guests at the luncheon included Marion Price of the Mt. Edge cumbe Hospital, Joe SlWooko of Gambell and Alaska State Police Trooper, Robert Redston, from Bethel.

NEW YORK. - Another
Fonda is being cheered on
Broadway. He is Peter, 81
year-old son of Henry and
brother of Jane. Peter Fonda
made his New York stage
debut the other evening in
Blood, Sweat and Stanley
Poole" The play was re-
ceived with vast indifference
while young Fonda was
warmly applauded in a set of
flattering reviews.
Producers Roger Stevens
and Joseph Fields are now
urging him to accept star
billing. And six motion pic
ture companies are trying to
put him under contract.
Not a bad beginning.
Blood, Sweat and Stanley
Poole" is an Army comedy
by James and William Gold
man, who hoped no doubt
they had written another
mo Time For Sergeants." It
doesn't come close. Dizziness
is its principal characteristic.
Heaven help us if the peace
time Army is anything like
this.
Family Psyche
Darren McGavin, who is
starred. plays an uneducated
battlefield lieutenant intent
on becoming a captain-so
intent that he unblushingly
steals Army supplies and uses
them to bribe the officer in
charge of promotions, a chap
with a craze for a jaguar.
Peter Fonda, an educated but
neurotic private, comes to the
lieutenant's aid, teaching
him everything he needS to
know to pass an Army ex-
animation, without resort to
bribery.
McGavin projects the ag-
onies of the trapped lieuten-
ant, and Fonda gives a skill
full performance as the
knowledgeable albeit nervous
private Che has a psyche
logical block about guns and
bayonets, can't look at one
without flinching).
Blood, Sweat and etc."
got only one favorable re-
view from the New York
critics; the other six notices
were pans. In a desperate
effort to save it, the pro-
ducers announced a box-of-
flee bargain: Two tickets will
be sold for the price of one,

beginning Immediately.
Screen rights to the play
have been sold to the Amer
ican Corporation for $685.
900, but the deal will be can
celed if the play runs less
than 81 performances. The
cut in ticket prices is de-
signed to keep it on the
boards that long, at least.
BeanpoIe Type
Peter Fonda is a tall beam
pole. 6-feet-2 and not much
wider than a toothpick. He
looks something like his ia
ther. and walks, or rather
lopes, like a latter-day Gary
Cooper.
Jerome Chodorov, who di-
rected Blood, Sweat" says
Peter is one of the most
"instinctively right" young
actors he has directed. "I
don't know where it comes
from; it must, be in the genes.
All I know is, he has the
born. actors gift of trans
lating words into sight and
sound without having to be
led by hand, and when he
gets on stage the audience
knows he's there"
Peters sister, Jane, a glow
ing actress of considerable
promise, made her stage de-
but two years ago in There
Was a Little Girl" and was
promptly raised to stardom.
How about a play for all
three Fondas? Suggestions,
anyone?
