 Fall time had come upon us and people began to drive their dogs to get wood down the coast. Our young huskies were almost full grown. Aunt Mumangeena became insistent to have them trained. We will need them this winter so you better train them right away" she told her husband.
 The Consent
 After much persuasion and out right demands by Mumangeena, Uncle Nayukuk finally got ready to train the frisky young dogs. As part of the preliminary training they had been tied to posts when they got too big to run loose and had gotten used to it.
 There had been nine in the litter and being out of good stock, two females had been given away to the families who wanted them. A team of huskies out of the same litter is considered to be the best, once trained. They work well to- gether probably due to the fact that they know each other well. However, this intimacy is defi- mite drawback when one starts to train them. They know each other too we'll.
 It was now time to harness the young team. First he harnessed our leader that was around six years old. This was most necessary be- cause inexperienced huskies need leader that will help to keep some semblance of order in the process of learning.
 "Greenhorn Team"
 Then Nayukuk harnessed the first young husky. When it was on, the dog began to squirm and twist. The strange feeling of the harness was just too much. He started to bite at it, spinning round and round and it soon tangled himself with other harnesses Uncle Nayukuk tried to calm it down. He might as we'll have ordered rain in January.
 Mumangeena came out of the igloo to help. She held the har- messed young husky ,, to keep it from tangling any further while her husband finished the rest. He put another of the olded dogs in the team in hopes of steadying the young ones.
 Unheeded Commands
 Finally the team was ready to go. Aunt Mumangeena united the anchor line and as soon as she did, Uncle Nayukuk commanded. "Mush" At the command the two experienced dogs lunged forward. His order fell on deaf ears as far as the young huskies were concern ed.
 They did not have any idea what ''mush' meant, nor did they make any attempt to go forward. They were much too busy squirming in their harnesses, rolling on the snow, yelping and nipping at each other, turning around to play with the ones behind, and trying vigorously to pull their heads out of their collars. The sled moved forward for about five feet.
 In about Is minutes time. Uncle Nayukuk travelled about 300 feet. Most of the distance was taken up untangling the overactive young dogs that nipped at each other and got into frequent tussles. He constantly hollered "Mush" which the leader and the other older dog faithfully obeyed while the half grown dogs wanted to go in all directions.
 One fthe young dogs somehow. got his leg tangled in the, harness of the one in front of it and start. ed a wild connmotion. While he was trying to extricate it, dogteam approached from behind and to the right which Uncle Nayukuk did not

Fine Care

During their growing period, Aunt Mumangeena had taken fine care of the pups. It was a wonder full experience to watch her. She talked to them as if they were children.

"Umaa, (You there) don't be so greedy. Leave some for your little brother. How can he grow up if you keep doing that?" she would reprimand.

County Law
Requested on
Gravel Pits

Citizens in Forrestville, Oxon
Hill and BeltSville have dumped
a truck load, of complaints
about gravel pits on the Prince
Georges County Commissioners.
A delegation of more than
so met with the commissioners

dent September 6 in Forestville.
Mrs. Naomi v. Stratton of
ForeStville told the commits
Sioners that drivers of large

children of our area" to visit
sites by offering them rides.
Stanley J. Walcek, a Hill
crest Heights attorney who is
representing Mr.. Colletti is a
civil action involving the death
of his son, Anthony, presented
81 proposed ordinances to the
commissioners to strengthen
control of gravel pit operations.
Another witness, T. H. Hol-
man of Beltsville, complained
about abandoned gravel pits,
"a few moonlight operations, :"
and the overlooking and the
high speeds of trucks carrying
gravel on Montgomery roads.
Commissioner M. Bayne
Brooke said the situation in
Forestville certainly could be
considered an emergency"
Frank j. LaStner, chairman
of the Board of Commissioners
announced that a committee is
being set on soil conserva-
ton and resources for the
county. He said it would work
on the problem of gravel pit
operations. Robert Long, past

Rickover Draws CHALLENGE
By Criticizing U. S. Schools

"stretch-out" of the education
system are easy to remove, Ad-
miral Rickover suggested, "as
by frightening the school day
and year, eliminating all extra
curricular activities durin G
school hours, seeing to it that
the teacher is left undisturbed
in the classroom.
II suggest ripping out the
loudspeakers."
Textbooks should be replaced
by new ones prepared by
scholarly subject specialists,
teacher education should be
upgrad ed and all mon
teachers" should be removed
from school administration ex-
cept as assistants to the head
teachers, he proposed, among
other remedies.
Education Courses Hit
Another speaker, William H.
Cornog, superintendent of New
Trier Township High School,
Winnetka, ILL.,, said that de
grading education courses
have kept more good minds out
of public school teaching than
has low pay"
He said that "in the past, the
intellectual disrepute and the
actual gross ineptneSS and
boredom of courses in educa-
ton have acted as an effective
bar to many Of intelligence and
integrity who contemplated 60
ing into public school teach
ing.
Men and women of good
will and high endowment have
often been unwilling to endure
the humiliation of acquiring
education credits in order to
practice the profession to
which they felt they wanted to
dedicate their lives"

Vice Admiral Lyman G..
Rickover trained his guns on
American education again last
night with a claim that the
educational value of a school
year abroad is at least a third
higher.
His unfavorable comparison
of the American with the Eu-
ropean system of education
drew some answering indigna-
ton from fellow speakers be-
fore the Council for Basic Edu-
cation at Lisner Auditorium.
Admiral Rickover complained
of the "snail'S pace, the in
credible streteh-out in Amer
lean education" He said that
"our children sit in class more
years because they learn less
in each year. 1t is that simple. {"
Europeans, he commended,
attain any given intellectual
level years before our children
get there"
Hansen Raises Question
During a panel discussion
after the admiralS talk, District
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
read out a blunt note he had
jotted: IF the Europeans are
so smart, why have we had to
bail them out for the last SO
years?"
ColumniSt Max Freedman
said he had met many visiting
European lecturers and teachers
and had found the overwhelm-
ing majority clearly i'm
pressed" with academic activity
here.
He also said that British au-
thorities themselves acknowl-
edge deficiencies in their sys-
tenn. DR.. Thomas Carroll, presi-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-10-26

dent Of George Washington
University, suggested that OBJ
servation of the next political
campaign in Britain would find
Conservatives and Liberals both
arguing methods of improving
their confessedly bad educa-
ton system"
Text of Talk Shortened
Admiral Rickoger omitted
from his talk a statement in
his prepared text that under
outside pressure, curricula,
especially for the college-pre-
paratory course, are being
toughened here and there, and
various new gimmicks are being
tried out but I venture to say
only one student in a thousand
has so far been affected by any
serious reform. The life-adjust-
ment people are still in the
saddle"
He said later he had merely
left it out in shortening the
speech.
He struck at the anti
intellectualism" of the Ameri-
can school system: "AS when
our talented boys and girls are
grouped with the lame, the halt
and the mentally disturbed
under the classification 'excep-
tional' children! How revealing
this is of the menta! attitude
of those who manage ou1
schools.
Longer Term Urged
Instead of learning to read
on great poetry and prose-" he
continued, American children

and Jane with the garbage

Action Against Raiders Criticized
As 'NeutroIism' in Hemisphere

ious complications for the
United States in Europe. This
view, however, has already
been interpreted in Latin
America as a policy Of timid-
ity and fear. 1t is regarded as
an abandonment Of Cuba to
Mr.. Castro-as a means OF
strengthening him. The ad-
ministration here may pro-
test that this is fartheSt from
its thoughts, but the policy
may have that effect just the
same.
The people of Latin Amer
lea know the difference be-
tween resoluteness and irres-
oluteness. If 1t is a violation
Of the neutrality" laws Of
the United States, for in
stance, to allow expeditions
to take the big risks that
exile Cubans wish to take to
carry on forays along the
coast Of Cuba, then, 1t is
asked, why does the United
States Government keep on
making "unneutral" state
ments that tell those same
Cuban exiles to look forward
to revolution as a means Of
liberation? Such declarations
were repeated several times by
the administration in recent
months. This had a profound
effect on the anti-Castro Gu
bans. They came to believe
that the United States Gov
ernment is behind them. But
what do they see now? The
Washington administration
not only orders the Cubans
seized II they try to launch
any military raids from this
country, but 1t has persuaded
the British government also
to seize raiders.
Will the Latin-American
governments now feel morally
bound to adopt the same
course that Washington has
urged on Great Britain2 viii
the Latin-American govern
ments be requested by the
United States to prevent the
use Of their territory as a
base Of operations for the
Cuban exiles?
The psychological effect Of
the latest turn in the Ken
nedy-Rusk policies can only
be damaging and discourage

America who have no illusions
