The District Board Of Educa-
ton yesterday again faced the
continuing controversy over its
policies on procedures for ap-
pointing temporary teachers.
The board met In q special
session to review charges by
board member Dr.. Mordecai
Johnson that % of 235 appn-
cants were appointed to tenn
porary teaching posts Illegally.
DR.. Johnson commended that
the appointments Of these ~
applicants was done contrary
to board policy and District
laws which require that no ap-
plicant be appointe d to any
teaching post without certifica-
ton by the Public Schools
Board Of Examiners.
DR.. johnson stated that in
many cases applicants were
named to teaching posts with
out certification Of the board Of
Examiners at the time Of their
appointment by the Board Of
Education.
He said that In IA Of the n
cases under discussion, required
data sheets on each applicant
lacked information on the ap-
picant's experience and ref
erences, or details Of studies
and degrees had not been
proved by the examiners.
Data Sheets Lacking
In another nine cases, DR..
johnson told the board, the ap-
plications lacked the required
data sheets, and in four others,
the applicants had been given
longevity credit without expla-
nation or justification.
DR.. Johnson said that the
policy of attaching such data
sheets to applications had been
done in the hope that they.
would be studied carefully by
school administration officials
and the Board of Education
before appointm ents were
made.
But. he said, the board ap-
proved all 235 applicants, in
Guiding those whose applica-
tons he believed to be ques-
tionable.
In each case, he said, the APP
plicationS had been approved
by an assistant superintendent
before the Board of Examiners
had made a judgment. He said
the law makes the chief exam
liner the final authority on the
fitness of an applicant for APP
pointment.

game is not SO different. they
aren't SO vague that they don't

See the point.
The same thing is done to a
certain extent with magazine

the publisher who received let

tons sweet little old ladies
who were unduly upset over
the fiveteen four letter dirty
words that they counted in the
past edition. Was the publish

trary, he was mildly elated,
because he knew that those
same little old ladies would
rush to the magazine stand
next month if only to see if
the new edition had twenty
such words in it.

Cabbage LOOperS

The cabbage looper "a green
worm about an inch To H.
inches long, has attacked sew
eral tobacco fields in Column
bus County this week. This
insect is probably the hardest
insect to control from the At
lantlc Ocean To the Pacific
Ocean. Several farmers have
tried 4 number Of materials
with little results. Others seem
10 think they are getting few
results. but nut too much.
The best control that we
know of al the present time
les | 10 pintS of 1872"
emulsion Of Endrin or 20
pounds of IL" Endrin dust.
The secret to any possible
success of controlling the cab
Dagc luOper is in thorough
leverage and early detection
Of the lOupcT. When spraying
or busting. the plant must bc
thoroughly covered both top
and bottom sides of the Leaf.
and you must remember that
this is an extremely hard in
sect tO kill even with the
strongest inSccticidc after il
gets half grown.
Tobacco
Recently several farmers
have called in. brought leaves
that have fallen off the stalk
in, and are considerably wor-
ried about some of the leaves
falling off of some of the
growing vigorously. The con-
two. three, and even four
leaves on some plants have
dropped off, which is enough
to cause a tobacco farmer to
start worrying.
Under certain weather con-
ditionS, and evidently we have
had those weather conditions
this year, some of the newer
varieties have a tendency to
drop off the stalk when it is
growing vigorosuluy. This con-
dition should stop in the next
few days and growers who
have lost tobacco on the bot
tom of the stalk will need TO
top just little higher so that
they have II to l8 leaves when
topped. In the event that the
tobacco buttons out and you
cannot get / Ito 10 leaves per
stalk, then it would be better
to go ahead and top and let
a sucker come out and get
the extra leaves through a
sucker.
Another weather condition
that has caused some concern
is what some farmers call rust,
others call il different names,
but the lower leaves start be-
coming brown spotted with
very small spots to start with,
but they increase in some
fields and under certain con-
tons.
This condition is known as
weather fleck caused by GER
tain weather conditions. Now
that 1t has warmed up, this
condition should stop.

The 1t. Joseph p. Kennedy
Institute has found that the
large majority Of retarded
teen ayers, who have los ol
SO to rs, can become well-in-
formed - when approached
with projected slides.
The sisters at the institute
in Washington sometimes refer
to this as the Naval Academy
method-because it uses the
same kind Of protector often
used to teach armed services
subjects.
But the most important
thing about the system is that
1t works. 1t may revolutionize
the teaching Of the retarded.
Where retarded teens used
to sit still for only 4 or 5 min
utes of work with children's
books, they follow the audio-
visual approach for IS to As
minutes.
Sees Better Teaching
Sister Joseph Mary, who is
in charge Of the institute at
801 Buchanan street NE, said
in an interview that the new
teaching method should help
teach retarded children basic
facts about their world and
about science and religion.
Many retarded youngsters now
get manual training at best,
she said.
Without basic academic
grounding, they often fail to
establish personal contacts with
fellow workers after they are
employed.
They simply have nothing to
talk with them about" she ex-
planned. 80. although they may
have learned their trade we'll,
they are usually the last to be

things as where Cape Canaveral

FIREHOUSE MASCOTS
DaImatians Go Suburban

The spotted Dalmatian dogs
that once chased smoke -belch-
ing fire wagons through WASH
ington streets have followed
the population rush to the sub
urbs.
In nearby Virginia and
Maryland about a dozen Of the
firemen's mascots are leading
soft modern lives that include
riding to fires.
The shift in Dalmatian popu-
lation started a few years ago,
when District fire officials de-
cided the city was too crowded
for the dogs. The engine COM
panies that already had the
mascots were allowed to keep
them until they died. but a
ban was put on new acquisi-
tions.
Dalmatians have a reputa-
ton for growing nervous in
their world Of bells and sirens.
District officials were worried
about possible injuries the
dogs might cause to people.
The new breed of suburban
dogs are thriving in areas
where there are still open fields
for a little ff-duty prowling.
Probably the aristocrat of
areas fire dogs is Spot, at An
nandale Engine Company 8 in
Fairfax County. The 5-year-old
blue blood is registered with

Spot is highly selective about
whom he accompanies to fires.
