that the system is opposed to

who waits until the teacher

In school, the teachers
smile bravely. The animals

TEACHING is MORE than
a profession. It's a masoch-

relax on a bed of nails.
Learning to teach is only part
of the job; the small part.
One must also exude good

a martyr, a gay dog, a

Anyone lacking those qualifi-

Anyone having them is a nut.

Strange Silence
Fills the House

There is a hush in the
homes. The children are back
in school. This is an annual
phenomenon, like the migra-
ton Of great hosts Of birds.
In the mountains and at the
shore, windows are boarded
and boats upended. The sky
IS bluer, the water is silent
and reflective, and the morn
ing breeze comes up crisp
and clean.
THE BABBLE is gone from
the house. In the strange
silence, a mother can hear
her heart beat. All summer
she waited for this day. Now
that 1t is here, she isn't sure
she wants it.
Many things are no longer
seen: the refrigerator door
hanging open; the bicycle in
the driveway; the sock on the
floor: the ring in the hath
tub; the jangle Of the tele-
phone; the cuts and bruises;
the lawnmower disappearing
in a sea Of growing grass;
the whispers; the giggles; the
cases Of empty soda bottles;
the crisis over an unironed
blouse; the sultan lotion on the
towel.
The tempo has changed.
They come to breakfast slick
and clean, talking in an in
comprehensive jabbering, in
which at least four weighty
subjects are covered in one
sentence. They gulp juice and
milk and a variety Of break
fast foods by aiming at the
mouth while studying thu
clock.
They leave in a whiplash
hurry which no one could get
out Of them all summer long,
and they depart on bicycles,
roller skates, in yellow buses
with red blinkerS, in foreign
cars loaded with big feet, in
old bombs with no tenders,
on foot. Those who would not
help mother to empty the
garbage all summer, are now
laden with big books, lunch
boxes, brief cases, makeup
KITS, small turtles, and vaca-
ton mementos.
AS they leave, they look
different to adult eyes. They
look taller, older, wiser in
the wrong way, patient with
parents. Nothing fits and the
bargains in new shoes, new
suits, new Stacks, new sweat
ers, new dresses, new skirt
and-blouse combinations, new
school colors, have all been
exhausted. The pencil and
pen sets are cleaned out Of
the candy stores; art gum
erasers and rulers are at a
premium.

DETROIT (AP). - Suggested
retail prices. gradually disap.
pearing from many types ol
merchandise, are In their fifth
year In the new car business.
Each Of the 1868 models In
cludes the now familiar window
label showing the full price the
manufacturer suggests for the
car, plus only State or Local
taxes, or some item the dealer
will install later.
A new car is the one COM
modify which must, by Federal
law, carry a manufacturer's
suggested retail price. This
stems from the Automobile In
formation Disclosure Act passed
by Congress in 1858. 1t became
effective with 1859 model cars
Why Congress Acted
The act requires the manu-
facturer to list q price which

was shipped.
Congress acted after price
packing had become general in
the trade. This consisted OF
dealers padding the supposed
| list prices of the car and op-
tional equipment to such an
extent they could offer what
seemed to be fantastic dis
counts and still not be out of
pocket. The buyer had no way
of pocket. The buyer had nc
way of knowing what the price
should be.
The law doesn't fix a retail
price. A dealer is free to sci

What happens to this price

AIIU. S. Cars Now Have
Extended Worronties

and to the two-year, or 24,000-
mile policy on the 1861 Lin
coin Continental.
General Motors took the ini-
tiative in extending the "a
month plan to its full line last
fall, although Chrysler previ-
ously had announced its five
year warranty on the power
train components.
The "l2 and IL" worked sur
prisingly we'll. Most manufac-
turerS said it took only a short
time for claims to return to
the same level as previously,
or in many cases to below pre-
vious levels.
Nor are they looking for any
serious trouble on the "a
month warranty, once owners
find out Just what is covered
and what isn't.
Some Exceptions
Basically, the warranty COW
ers defects in manufacturing
The factories say all basic
parts of the car will last for
"a months or $4,000 miles,
whichever comes first. This in
cludes tailpipes, mufflers. bat
teries, electrical components.
But it does not include brake
or clutch Innings, ignition
points, filters or spark plugs
unless it can be shown these
were defective. Normally such
items would wear out in "a
months or less.
Tires are not covered, since
they have a separate warranty
from tire manufacturers.
The Chrysler plan covers the
engine, transmission, differen-
tial and rear axle. But it re-
quires the owner to show HI
has followed the company
recommendations on mainte-
nance. Such recommendation
normally involve some worl
earh & mn miles

since it includes no optional
equipment, taxes, handling and
freight charges, or the like.
Price comparison between
makes and models is sometimes
difficult because of variances
in standard equipment. For ex-
ample. in 1862 General Motors
and Ford made heaters stand
ard and included them in the
price. The three other compa-
nies did not. For q true COM
parison, you had to add or
subtract.

factories usually pay bonuses
to clean out stocks just before
new models are introduced.
Then there is the factory list

DETROIT (AP). - One oi
the most significant advances
on the 1863 model automobiles
is the extended warranty pol
icy.
General Motors, Ford, Amer
lean Motors and Studebakel
are assuring their customers
the new models will prove tc
be free of all manufacturing
defects for at least "a months
or $4,000 miles. This is double
the previous warranty.
Chrysler, too. has a signif-
icant, but different, extension,
This company has kept the
12-month, or 12,000-mile war
ranty which has been stand
ard in the industry the last
two years. But it has added a
bonus for the power train -
the engine through rear axle.
Chrysler says that when prop
erly maintained. these major
items will be covered for five
years or $4,000 miles.
Policies in Writing
In both forms the warran-
ties represent a new step in
factory : dealer customer rela-
tions In that policies are set
down in writing. All customers
are assured reasonable treat
ment and If they don't get it
they have firm grounds to raise
O fuss.
The manufacturers claim
they have been willing to stand
behind their cars right along,
that no owner should have ex-
perienced problems If he was
unfortunate enough to get a
car with a major manufactur-
ing defect.
Many dealers also followed
this policy. But the owner hac
no guarantee and sometimes
dealers tried to impress owners
that they were handling somt
problem out of the goodness o.
their heart, even though they
knew the factories would REIN.
burse them.
General Motors, for example
put into effect a 12-month o.
12,000-mile warranty plan with
its dealers 81 years ago. Blu
this wasn't put in writing fol
owners until the start of thu
