Good Time To Check
For Fire Hazards

If fire strikes your property
where will it start? What will
likely cause it?
These aren't just idle questions
says County Extension Agent VIM
HI. Henderson in a special Fir G
Prevention Week message.
More than $3.50, 100000 worth OF
farm homes, buildings and other
property go up in smoke eac h
year, according to U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture estimates. A
substantial portion of the 5000
deaths in home fires reported for
1860 by the National Fire protec-
tion Association occurred in rural
areas.
Keep deadly, destructive f ire a.
way from your home by checking
what you know of fire safety.
In farm homes, faulty or mis-
used heating and cooking equip
ment start more fires than an Y
other single cause, NF'PA studies
show. Actually, defective stoves
sNilo hoebtCio, etioilS w ulI dcIcGl-
i've chimneys and sparks from
chimneys, are responsible for a l.
most half of all fires in farm
dwellings.
Careless use of gasoline n d
kerosene, electrical faults in wir-
ing and appliances, are both high
on the list. Bad smoking habits
and children playing with matches
are other major causes.
In barns and outbuildings, h e
prime fire hazard is spontaneous
ignition in hay, corn and fertiliz-
er. Other most frequent causes are
electrical faults, lightning, defect
i've heating equipment and care
less handling of gasoline and oil.
These facts point to a thorough
check-up and cleanup of condi-
tions that could cause a fire n
your home or other buildings.
During Fire Prevention w e e k
make "a new start toward complete
fire safety on your property, and
keep headed that way throughout
the year, urges County Extension
Agent VIM. H. Henderson.

The liturgical life of our secular

vember as is that of the Church.

day, Thanksgiving day, United APP
peal time, and now, among countless
other events and weeks, American Ed

lutte and celebrate this immensely inn
portant function and institution in our
growing world.
1t is important that celebration
give full recognition to the wide vari-
ETY. of expressions and forms which
American Education has historically
and presently assumed; that is, it is
important to acknowledge its plural
list character. 1t is even more impor-
tant that the celebration should
prompt us to rediscover and empha-
size the profoundly religious. at least
theistic, character that historically
until recently has marked almost all
forms of American Education.

UNFORTUNATELY and probably
by our w default this will most like
ly be thought of as American Public
School Week, just as the NEA is mis-
takenly thought to be the voice of
American Education. And the small
clique of those who are intent on total
sec~ularization of the public schools
will take the opportunity to further
and justify their cause.
On the occasion of American Edu-
cation Week 1862, we defend two
propositions that need to be defend
ed. The first is that private and
church-related education are Ameri-
can education, as native as the public
school and of longer tenure here. To-
gether with the public school these
schools serve a common public func-
ton, and deserve a common recognl-
ton. They are not divisive, or Special

THE ACKDROP

Oregon reflects how people generally
feel about current TV fare, the answer
is 1T is not" OF 1924 persons inter-
viewed only "a listed the lack of pro-
gram variety as a major complaint.
And the ga actually viewed fewer
program categories than those who
did not ask for greater variety.
Similar conclusions have been
drawn from another survey in Pitts
burgh, which was chosen because
three commercial TV stations and a
full-time non-commercial educational
stationoffer a wider range of program
choice than may be found in many
other cities.
OF 81 respondents, rs per cent
agreed that there ought to be more
educational programs on TV. Yet, on
ly two said they had dialed an educa-
tional program during the week COW
cred by the survey.
NEARLY ALL OF the viewers in
terviewed agreed that nearly every
body could get something of value out
of educational TV. But only six per
cent said they had v e viewed such a
program; Cd per cent said they had
not watched a single program broad
cast by the educational station.
1t may be that, like a candidate for
public office, the average TV viewer
likes to believe that he approves of
all the virtues. But putting them into
practice is something else again.
More than half of the viewers sur
veyed, 81 per cent, said they would
like to have an opportunity to see
more documentary programs. They
thought they were more informative
than the Westerns, the gangster
shows and the soap operas.
However, At per cent of those ex-
pressing a preference for this type of
program did not watch m when 1t

practice a middle class responsibility
which would do credit to middle class
whites; indeed the Muslin prides him
self on being more respectable than
the middle class white or the middle
class Negro.
THE MUSLIN HAS, In short. re-
jected white society's evaluation of
the Negro people and has also reject
ed the Negro middle class's sense of
inferiority. The goals of the Negro
elite often seem to have been to be-
come as much like white people as
possible to be completely assimilat-
ed in the superior white society.
The Muslin replies that he does not
want to be assimilated into white So
ciety because it is an inferior society
and he personally is proud of being
black.
He further argues that the reason
Negroes have often seemed so apa-
thetic or indifferent is that they have
really believed they were inferior and
that the only way Negroes will be-
come respectable is if they have self
respect and pride in their b~lackness.
Thus Essien- Udom contends that
the Black Supremacy theories and the
archaeological theology of the Mus
Inns must be seen not so much as
an Indictment to violence (the Mus
Inns, in fact, insist on 0 violence in
their members) but rather as a means
of promoting pride and self-respect
among members.
THE RESPONSE the Muslims have
awakened would indicate that a fair
number of relatively uneducated low
er class Negroes are looking for an
organization which will give them a
n of belonging, a sense of i'm

If the parents had been listening,
they might have been surprised and a
bit unbelieving at the answers given
by the adolescents.
Their children had been asked to
discuss what type Of parents they re-
! spected most.
Without fail, the answers came back
in terms like firm, consistent, make
n e-rules-and -stick-to-them consider
ate, just, and being-able-to-say-no-
despite-our-appeals."
SINCE THESE are the same par
ents who are always being pressured
with why can't II" Everyone else
is going You're just old fashioned"
you just don't want me to have any
fun" or, the real clincher, Don't you
trust me?"-you can understand their
slowness to accept the first statements
as coming from the lips of their teen
ayers.
But the fact of the matter is that
adolescents want two things. They
want the foul lines set up so they
know where they stand.
If they keep testing the guidelines,
1t is partly to find out if they r still
there. Equally, it is with hope that, by
stretching them, they will be less re-
stricted as they grow older.
AS one ~17-year-old girl said to her
mother, Mother, you don't love me-"
To the parents astounded protest that
she had done all these things for her

given all these things to her-and she
listed them, the girl said only n
thing, eyes, Mother, but in all these
years you have never said mo- to me-"

portance, a sense of mission, a pride
in what they are.
The Muslims may not, In the long
run, have enough organiZational So
~phistication to sustain this need of the
lower class Negroes; but If they don't,
1t seems reasonable to suspect that
some other organization will.
Slavery not only destroyed Negro
traditions, Negro family life, and Me-
gro or"ganizational skill, it also inn
parted to Negroes an inferiority corn-
pick from which few have been able
TO escape during the last hundred
years of separate but equal status.
The Negro elite in its attempts to
become as respectable as possible
has, if one Is to believe Essien-U dom
and Franklin Frazier, lost contact
with the Negro masses.
THERE WERE no organizations In
the Negro community which played
the role in the assimilation of new im-
migrants that the national parishes
d1A III Ut 10 says GlS L Ciloii nIllilt@
grants; the parishes were able to help
the immigrant through his transition
to becoming an American and yet at
the same time encourage him never to
be ashamed of being Polish Tor Irish
or Lithuanian or Slovak).
1t is precisely this function of in
sitting pride in what one is, SO that
one has the emotional resources to be-
come something more that the Mus
Inns seem to be exercising.
Even if we do not like the MUSLIN
theology, We must admit that their
function is important. When a Mus
lin says he is proud of being black he
means it. Only when most Negroes
can say this and really mean it, will
the American race problem be on it's
way to a solution. FS .s

her or not, she dedicated her life TO

Politics has been a word we have
seer and heard much of in the past
weeks.
Now that the 1862 election results
are history we can recall what bless
ing (this description might corne as a
gurprise) we have in American poll
tics. To be sure the campaigns, the
exaggerated rhetoric, the folders, the
match books, the lapel buttons, the
jingles, the spot announcements, the
seemingly endless interviews and de-
bates often seemed far from blessed"
But when we citizens stepped into
that voting booth on Nov. 6 did we
realize what a priceless privilege is
ours? Did we realize that WI decided
the fate of a whole series of candi-
dates either to serve us or to return
to other work? Did we realize that the
elected and their decisions will begin
q chain reaction whose consequences
are incalculable? And most of all, did
we realize how unique is our political
liberty in this country where we AN
truly choose those who will govern
us? II we didn't, 1t is still not too late
to be grateful.

Critics of television, including
Newton N. Minow, chairman of the
Federal Communications Commission,
assert that the public would welcome
more varied, more cultural and more
international TV programs than they
are now able to view on their screens.
The charge is that the networks
persist in Understanding the INTEL
ligence of the television audience and
overrating its preference for stereo-
typed TV fare centered around quick
draw frontier sheriffs, gangsters and
more recently - hospital operating
rooms.
If a show is successful, so the inn
parchment goes, the rival networks
quickly whip up the same type of
show with a different set of faces.
If given a choice, the critics con-
tend, the viewers would prefer cul-
tural offerings such as opera and
solid drama and educational programs
such as discussion panels, docu-
mentaries, courses of lectures and the
like.
THE NETWORKS, which have to
make money out of television, chal-
lenge the validity of the critics as
sumptions. They maintain they are
giving the public what it wants and
they cite the higher ratings of the
shows the critics condemn as evidence
that their judgment is correct.
Unfortunately for the critics, re-
cent surveys of viewer preferences
tend to support the claims of the net
works. These surveys indicate that
what people say they would like to
see is not what they actually watch.
Take the complaint about stereo-
typed programming, the lack of vari-
ETY., the vast wasteland" that Chair
man Minow .deplored when he first
took office. Is this grippe shared by the
television audience?
