Education Local Responsibility

thrive best in an educational system
which is not subject to conformity il
content and teaching practices dictated
by remote control.
Only under complete local jurisdic-
tion will education be responsive to the
needs and preferences Of the commun-
ity supporting it.
Federal intervention will only aggra-
vate and not solve whatever education
al problems exist.
It is not needed because states and
communities are fulfilling their educa-
tional requirements.
Don't let the national government
add fourth 'R'-for REGULATION
to the curriculum Of our schools.

The chances of hamstringing Fidel
Castro seem considerably better now
that the Organization of American
States has empowered its council to
probe Castro-inspired subversion in
any Western Hemisphere country. This
action is most welcome, even though it
was long in coming.
The OAS move against Communist
subversion and terrorism was recon-
mended more than year ago at the
meeting of American foreign ministers
in Punta del Este, Uruguay. It is graf
flying to note that United States in
sistence was responsible for this i'm
fermentation of the Punta del Este call.

H-B Bills Heavily Supported

If as in the case Of man, legisla-
tion is known by the company it keeps,
the Herlong-Baker tax rate reform
bills hold very high place in public
esteem.
That's because long and impressive
list Of organizations representing the
industrial, business and agricultural
aspects of the national economy have
endorsed and are actively supporting
the Herlong-Baker bills.
Spokesman for p organizations have
appealed to the House Ways and Means
Committee for immediate passage of
the Herlong-Baker legislation on the
ground that it is absolutely necessary
to the country's economic well-being.
These witnesses testified that only
through the reductions Of personal and
corporate income taxes specified in the
HerlongBaker bills would sufficient
capital be sprung loose to solve the

If our schools are to be saved from

Although the reasons for opposing
Observation-Disclosures are many and
valid and have been spelled out many
times, it is important to restate some
of them here lest skillful bureaucratic
propagandists win supporters for their
drive in our community. The legisla-
tion should be rejected because:

Bubson Discusses:
REAL ESTATE AS AN INVESTMENT

Babson Park, Mass, June Is.
Last week / wrote about owning
forest lands or pasture lands.
This would be in terms of at
least 100 acres, and presumably
not less than $50 acres.
RULES FOR BUYING IN
A SUBDIVISION
! like to have my readers
buy real estate in general, such
as house lots, and to buy 1t
near the city in which this
article appears. Certainly one
should not buy house lots in
some distant state, or, in fact,
anywhere, without seeing the
property. ! am a great believer
in Florida land. But / hate to
see people buy house lots in
Florida from maps which they
are looking at hundreds Of miles
away. When I am asked what is
the best fertilizer for an orange
grove, ! reply, "The footprints
Of the owner" This applies also
to house lots, especially in sub
Of some northern city.
Now let me give some simple
rules regarding the purchase of
such house lots. They are based
on careful experience and apply
whether you are speculating or
buying for the purpose of
settling on the land and some
day bringing up a family.
Every city has its best growth
In some one direction, whether
the north, west, east, or south.
Often the direction Is toward
the land highest in elevation.
This is especially true II 1t is
to the west facing the sunsets.

Safety Council News

Delaware had only fourteen
home fatal accidents in the first
third Of this year, as compared
with thirty-three In the same
period last year, a safety official
reported yesterday.
Mrs. william N. Cam, vice
president for family safety Of the
Delaware Safety Council, hailed
the sharp reduction as a combin-
alton Of good fortune and the step
ped UP activities of the safety
council and others. The period
involved and the numbers are
both too small to be sure Of the
reasons for the reduction but, she
said, "We nonetheless take great
satisfaction from the reduction
In deaths and feel that we have
had something to do with 1t as
have other organizations, but 1t Is
not possible to determine how
much"
Among the activities which may
have contributed to the reduction,
she said, are the emphasis on
family safety by schools, State
Board Of Health, city Of Whining
ton agencies, the hospitals in
dealing with accident patients,
business and industry, and COM
muntty organizations.
The Delaware Safety Council
itself was recently informed by
Richard Manuel, home safety
consultant Of the National Safety
Council, that Delaware's family
safety program Is one Of the best
and most complete In the nation.
The largest reduction in the
safety figures occurred In
deaths from falls at home. There
was only one In the first third
Of this year as compared with
seventeen In the same four
months last year a reduction
Milford chronicle., 1963-06-14

Of sixteen. This Is largely good
housekeeping plus good sense In
the use OF precautions at home.
These include care In the place
ment Of rugs, proper lighting, use
Of handrails, particularly when
older people are involved, and
keeping loose objects, such as
toyps, of the stairs. Most OF
the persons killed In falls at
home are under four or over
stxty-five years OF age.
Ten persons lost their lives
In fires In homes In the first four
months this year, the same num-
ber as last year In that period.
Other causes accounted for three
others this year, six last year.
Suffocation, firsar ms, and
poisons are among the causes.
The Safety Councils Family
Safety Committee has received
suggestions from the National
Safety Council on further
Strengthening home accidsnt pre-
vention activities In Delaware,
Mrs. Cam said. Members of the
COMMITTEES have been assigned
to work in specific areas to hsly
get the suggestions carried out.

tracks may not be as attractive
as others. Personally, l made
a mistake in buying land in
Wellesley fifteen miles fro m
Boston under the direct route
Of the airplanes leaving Boston
for New York and elsewhere.
I made this mistake many years
ago, but those looking for sub
divisions now should take this
problem into consideration.
WHAT ABOUT HOUSES?
I do not like houses as an in
vestment unless they are duplex
houses, where I can live in one
half and rent the other half. AS
an investment I like something
that does not need to be shingled
or painted, and that does not
have windows that break. Even
a new house depreciates from
the very day it is completed;
but the land, II in a proper
neighborhood, gradually in
creaSes in value. This is the
reason for buying an extra lot
adjoining the one on which you
will live. Also buy the lot at
the rear Of your house.
When buying houses or land,
recognize that all land and all
houses are worth something, but
the price should be considered
according to the above sug-
gestions. It will always be pos
sible to build and buy new
houses. The price will depend
upon supply and demand, Just
as does the price Of mortgages.
There will sometimes be a
shortage Of houses, and often
surplus Of houses. There, how
ever, will never be any more
land on this globe. This is some
thing to remember when you

Dear Friends:
Today is the last day for our
children to attend full day in
school this year. Thursday they
must return only to collect their
report cards. You know me and
my superstitions Thursday
happens to be the 18th and
do wish they had picked another
day to wind things up. This
afternoon after school several
of the girls' friends are going to
Fort Belvoir Officers club pool
for a swim to celebrate. Then
this evening they plan to meet
at the base theater. It's always
fun time for them, isn't 1t?
The night Of Lynne's prom
happened to be the night Of my
high school class's twentieth re-
union. Our class Of 43 members
didn't make too much Of a
splurge this year, but in five
more years 1t will be rs years
out of school and this will be
our big one, Pm sure. I thought
about all my classmates that
evening, even though we weren't
able to attend Hayes was in the
class Of 1940). We get to see
many Of our classmates periodi-
cally, but many have moved far

A much-quoted line from "The
Vision of Sir Launfal" by the

says, "What Is so rare as a

are lovely, but the intense heat
has caused us to re-arrange our
work schedule here at Trails
End. We do what we can before
lunch and then take a siesta.
Then Ellen, my teen-ager, takes
a sun bath in her bilini, and I
sit scribbling away in a nearby
yard chair, while "Pisha", the
Siamese, chases chickens In his
few precious moments outdoors.
When the cool Of the evening
comes we are at work again

frost and drought we have been
swamped with strawberries. We
have some in the freezer, and

the shelves for next winter.

roosters along the border. The
beds are little pine ones we
found at Sugartown, Pa. about
18 years ago. They are 3/4
size which, we think, will be
more comfortable than twin
size, and the room is large
enough to accommodate them.
They are almost identical. One
has large round wooden balls
on each little 4-poster, and the
other Is adorned with wooden
acorns. They came from a small
hotel in Easton, Pa. many years
ago. The knobs are there for
ropes, but we shall use modern
innerspring and mattress,
dropping them down a bit on
angle irons so that the low head
boards and footboards will show.

BIRDS nests and dead baby birds
