This survey was made by Opinion
Research for the National Right to Work
Committee, which, with the aid of local
groups, has been battling state by state
to enact and enforce laws banning COM
pulsory uhionism The Committee also
is mobilizing citizen support of Section
14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act which rec
ognizeS the right of states to enact and
enforce right to work laws. Thousands
of the $4,000 Committee members in the
so states are workers, and most of these
including the president and the board
chairman = are union members. The
militant opposition of such union mem
bers to compulsion has been prime fac
tor in the passage of Right to Work laws
in 19 states thus far!
For years the Committee has been
fighting an uphill battle for popular
support, slowly gaining recruits and
prestige But as the survey so eloquently
testifies, the American public, long apa-
thetic to the mushrooming political pow
er of such ruthless labor leaders as jim
my Hoffa and Walter Reuther and the
Welding of a labor monopoly immune to
antitrust laws, is finally aroused.
It has shrugged off unconscionable
strikes, illegal picketing, the violence of
goons But it's not going to stand aside
much longer and see free-born American
workers shaken down or fired for refu-
sal to join a union.

We, the American people, are an
easy-going lot. Our patience, like our
generosity, is legendary. Yet, historical
ly, we don't like being pushed around.
And nationwide survey just completed
by the Opinion Research Corporation of
Princeton, NJ j., is convincing indica-
tion that we don't like compulsory un-
ionism today any better than our ances-
tors liked the officiousness of the Crown
two hundred years ago.
Ninety-three percent of the Aneri-
can public, the researchers learned in
record affirmation among public opinion
polls, believe that no American should
be forced, against his will, to join a
church, union or political organiza-
ton. Only four percent expressed appro-
val of compulsory membership. Compul-
sorry union membership is exemplified in

We Goose The Golden Eqg(head)

This time, Harry Golden, Char
lotte's author-lecturer and self
styled editor has laid his fell
low editorialists low with one of
his shallow generalitieS.
He charged before a group of
educational journalists last
week that "editorialists have
stayed away from the greatest
news story of the 10th century
because it involves the black
man."
He, according to news stories,
added, "They blame it all the
NAACP and agitators. But if
they all disappeared tomorrow
the integration movemen n t
wouldn't miss a beat"
Golden should remember that
some of the most sterling lead
ership in the so-called social
revolution sweeping the nation
(not just the South has been
provided by conscientious edi-
tors. One that comes to mind is
Harry Ashmore, who faced hor-
rible pressures to stand on the
side of law and order in Little
Rock. 1t won him Pulitzer
Prize.

editors, have taken a moderate

The reasoning actually leads
some parents to delay their child

This is legally done, states Ap-

most school laws require that a

not by six but seven years of age.
And in case of boys close to the
age deadline, the move may be
smart strategy. Psychologists say
the male child lags about year

Veteran educators even advocate

A Sound Investment

You'll not find your local house of
worship listed on the stock market, but
we believe that there is no better invest
ment for our citizens than shares in the
ongoing work of churches and synagog-
ueS.
Dividends are not paid in cash. Rath-
er you find a high interest rate in the
more fruitful experience of living, an
enlarged sense of well-being for having
volunteered services unselfishly, and
deeper appreciation of your fellowmen

which adds up to better community

for everyone.
This type of investment in time and
money takes you into partnership with
other men and women of our town and
around the world, not to mention the
important partnership it offers with the
Creator.
Such sound investment, combined
with an extremely valuable rate of in
terest, offers rare opportunity. 1t would
benefit all of us to take advantage of it
by worshipping at the church or syna-
gogue of our choice each week.

North Carolina law requires that
Junior be six years old by October

The rule is a good one, opins
DR.. Joseph E. Bryson of Appala-
chian State Teachers College,
Boone, N. C. Bryson, an authority
on school law, endorses this view
of Temple University's DR.. Robert
E. Wilson. Experience has proved
that the older children of a grade
usually have more success in
school, academically as we'll as So
cially and emotionally."
The greater Juniors maturity

says DR.. Wilson, the more likely

later because of slower matura-
ton.
At any rate, the youngster held
back a year starts his first-grade
work with the advantage of great
er physical and mental maturity
on his side. 1t may make the diff
ference between his being ahead
than behind during his book-learn-
ing days.
The logic is not easily under
stool by many mothers and faith
ers, however, whose child's age
falls just day or so-or even an
hour or two-past the deadline
and who consider their offspring
above average in brightness and
maturity.
These parents think their young
sters may be harmed rather than
helped by holding him back. And
they can be right, too, since many
children mature much earlier than
others.
Some guardians have felt so
strongly about this that they're
contested the rule in court.
Others have gotten around it
by sending their child to a private
first-grade. On completing the
grade, the pupil enters public
second-grade. And the move has
worked out well for some.
For one boy of short height and
average ability whom l observed
for years, it didn't.
The small boy was peanut" to
his class and he experienced in
creasing difficulty with each pass
ing year in keeping up with the
older, bigger and more capable
classmate competition. For atten-
ton. he acted as the class clown.
Had his parents delayed his
school entrance, the boys compe-
tition would have been less crush
ing. He could have been a leader.
The success might have developed
within him a confident, healthy
concept of himself.
AS it is, he's now entering ad-
ulthood feeling inadequate.
For the extremely bright and
mature, however, delay in starting
TO school may bring negative re-
suits.
This has caused a few school
districts with the October Is cut
off to permit officials to admit
children whose birthday falls be-
tween this date and December 13
providing they've reached a suf-
ficient degree of mental, physical,
emotional and social maturity.
In Nebraska, which has such
law, the Stanford -Binet individual
mental test determines the degree
Of maturity. Other aspects of ma
turity are judged by a pSychome-
trist.
Nebraska established the early
entrance procedure in 1850. Over
1000 children were examined
turing the first ten years. Seventy
two per cent of them were judged
mature"
A follow-up study made several
years later to find out how the
early-entrance pupils were doing
in the third grade revealed their
10 average to be 121 (above nor
mall and their average scholastic
achievement a half year above the
national normal for third graders.
The conclusion, reached by Rob
ert Stake of the University of Ne
braska's department of education
al psychology and measurements:
Apparently very intelligent chill
dren are likely to be among the
top achievements even when
they're the youngest in class.
But what's best for your child
will have to be judged on its own
merit You can depend on sound
advice from school officials.

Luxury Vote

would like to offer support
and encouragement to the pro-
fessional staff of the Mont
gomery County schools. Tues
days vote was clearly a tax
payers protest, but l do not
think that it was meant to be
a protest against our children's
education. AS a matter of fact,
it is only because our schools
have become so outstanding
that our citizens could have
permitted themselves the lux
ury of such a vote.
In the coming months and
years, a sensitive measure of
the new School Boards con-
Germ for the community it
serves will be the degree to
which Montgomery County
maintains and extends its fine
reputation in college admis-
sions offices across the coun-
try. Approximately 65 per cent
of Montgomery County's pub
lie high school graduates are
now accepted into four-year
colleges.

Surely no one say that COP Chairman Don Ken

Repubcans-if this their policy statement assuredly
appears to beare due the paudits of all county voters
for taking such stand.
In Montgomery County we have had Democratic gov

Chairman Kendalls analysis of the election results
purportng to show that the CAP role in eectng Repub-
candidates negligible appears to be sound
although statistics can be tricky We do not know yet
whether his conclusions will stand UP under expert scrutiny
But the important thing feel is that by coming to such
conclusions and announcing them boldly Mr. Kendall was,
in effect putting his John Henry militant fortnight

The CAP feels, according to of its leaders in a
published post election statement that it did play major
role in the elections outcome And the history of politics
is that when faction works and contributes financially
toward the political of another group expects
substantial reward The rewards sought by CAPers,
believe do not iibe with the best interests of all the
people of the county The COP therefore acted wisely in
repudiang unhealthy CAP influence in govern

merry Co. feel there are many
who would be interested in
why places are so named. Now
most people in the county are
familiar as to why Silver
Spring was so named, and, as
1 happen to know, how Aspen
Hill got its name.
In the '90s we received our
mail at Norbeck which was
quite a distance. So the county
authorities decided on a more
local post office and picked my
uncle's store. Albert Gill was
his name, but what should
they name the post office?
Our school teacher, Caleb
Warfield, and one of his trus-
tees, my uncle, William Dwyer,
were chosen to decide. Albert
Gill many years prior to this
time, had planted four Aspen
trees in his yard which by this
time had become huge and
beautiful My sister, Mary E.
(Mollie) Gill, happened to be
present when they were trying
to decide on a name, so she
suggested naming it Aspen,
after the trees. This they did,
but in recent years, 'Hill' has
been added.

Who Is Louis XIV?

On November the 9th, 1862 the chief
revolutionist and radicalconservative, Henry
Hiser, overthrew the conservative+radical and
potential eounter-revolutionist, Stella Werner.
He also takes office under the famous
battle cry alleged to him, II am more con-
servative than Louie XIV-whoever he is"
Everyone was present when the proletariat
took over Montgomery County except the
Scarlet Pimpernel and the guillotine and for
that the Democrats are extremely grateful
1t now remains to be seen how the people
Of Montgomery County who have been used
to eating cake are going to react to the prom
ised diet of brown bread and segregation. 1t
Is quite possible that the same fate awaits
those who find brown bread so palatable for
others that awaited Marie Antoinette, (whO-
ever she isl who became immortal when she
said, LET them eat cake"
1t might be recalled that Napoleon was
carrying on in Corsica at about the time that
the French Revolution was carting the con-
servatives to the guillotine in two-wheeled
tumbrels. And it's just possible that the mem
bers of the CAP are waiting to take ad-
vantage of their present exalted position when
axes place. 1t may not be bad idea for the
he inevitable revolt against brown bread
new council to brush up on their history and
learn that Bourbon is not only a name for
liquor but also the family name for Louie
XIV and Louie XVI, who became so excited
about revolution he lost his head
Apparently the adults of Montgomery
County are not the only ones who are going
to be asked to eat brown bread.
1t appears that the children of the county

are going to be deprived of their cake for
the revolution put into the inexperienced
hands of Board of Education tremendous
ly vital and progressive educational system
The men who are taking control of our chill
dren are apparently committed to taking the
trills" out of education and getting down to
grass roots of the problem" 1t seems to
me that when man is about to explore the
suburbs of the stars it is not the time to
exalt the virtues of McGuffeys Reader, and
restrict his education to grass roots.
It appears that majority of the radically
conservative school board approve of the
philosophy of education pronounced by Mr.
Gradgrind, who was created by Charles Dick
ens-whoever he is-who said in Hard Times,
''Now what I want is Facts Teach these
boys and girls nothing but Facts-Facts alone
are wanted in life. Plant nothing else and
sort out everything else. You can only form
the minds of reasoning animals upon facts
Nothing else will ever be of any service to
them. This is the principle on which I bring
up my own children, and this is the principle
upon which l bring up these children, Stick
to the Facts sir"
Man needs great deal more than bread,
and children need more than Facts. Both the
County Council and the Board of Education
should remember this. 1t is probable that IL
the new council and new school board attempt
to placate Montgomery County with bare
facts and brown bread they will have as dis

From This Angle
Education And The Voter

Regardless of how any believer in demo-
cracy feels about the outcome of the recent
county election, he must admit that as an
example of the power of the voter it is reas-
suring event This election should also give
every voter in the County an appreciation of
the great power he wields with his ballot and
of the grave responsibility that goes with that
great power. This election will certainly point
up the fact to every public official that he is,
indeed, accountable to the voter.
Despite the sustained attack from some
quarters that has been going on for some
time, the writer has believed that we have
good school system in Montgomery County,
although it is true that he has never person
ally verified this fact. If the defeated school
board members were right in their policies
and PHILOSOPHERS, they failed to convince the
voters of it.
Men who believed strongly that there
was something wrong with the school admin
istration did convince the voter. Certainly the
tax rise of 81 cents must have been primary
factor in the defeat of the old school board
members, although political dissension within
the Democratic Party was apparently con-
siderable factor, and some believe the over
riding one.
One of the reasons for the defeat of the
four incumbents on the School Board is very
clear - the lack of communication between
the Board of Education and the voter. Despite
the concentrated attack Of long standing on
the School Board and officials within the
Department of Education, little or no effort
was made to refute it. 1 have long believed

lated for having attacked the
problem of high real estate

members should be urged to
Immediately lower teachers
