Editorially Speaking:.. Problem Must Be Faced Judgement and good sense are needed in the present controversy over the construction of a new high school and the repair of old buildings in the five-way Lake-. Lehman Jointure. Nothing can be accomplished by uninformed argument or by an attempt to bury the school problem under a batch of petitions signed by taxpayers who do not know what they are talking about. All any enlightened citizen needs to do is travel over the area served by the Lake-Lehman School District, ob- serve the new homes, note the automobiles in the drive- ways, count the number of young families and the num- ber of children in those families. He will conclude that something has to be done now or in the very near fu- ture to expand school facilities. There seems to be little sense in bedeviling school board members — local men who likewise pay taxes—and school administrators who should know their jobs better than the average uninformed citizen. Enlightened citizens, parents who really take the edu- cation of their children seriously, can be of real service® in helping the school board to solve its problem; but no amount of heat and misguided obstruction is going to help the situation. It would be useless to say that we are not going to have to pay the fiddler in increased taxes. And it would also be useless to say the school directors and architects are infallible. The best approach is to admit that there is a problem. It has to be solved — it cannot be evaded. It is going to cost money! Now let’s get down to business to see how it can be worked out to the best interest of all. : Some of those who are now crying the loudest are the very ones who have been willing to accept every handout of a Federal government and to advocate still further handouts, without seriously considering that there really is no Santa Claus. When it comes to local government and local schools— . there ain't no Santa Claus. Maybe that’s what hurts! The Non-Floating Space Capsule A space capsule that lets in- the sea water as soon as the hatch flies open, obviously needs re-designing. Three gallons of water can lower the center of gravity danger- ously, and from there on, it’s curtains for a luckless’as- tronaut if the helicopter is not close and the crew com- pletely capable. us Grissom would have been a casualty if rescue had not come immediately. Any man who rockets off into space is literally taking his life in his hands, from the time he lies down horizontally atop a tall tower of des- truction, to the moment when he emerges from the hatch. Any capsule which cannot ride the waves with the hatch open until rescuers come, carries with it into space its own death sentence as well as that of its pilot. WORDS OF A GREAT AMERICAN Theodore Roosevelt, who died forty-two years ago, had much to say to Americans—not lonly to those of his own time but to us today as well. Here are some exam- ples of his philosophy of life: “America will cease to be a great mation whenever her young men cease to possess energy, daring, and en- durance, as well as the wish and power to fight the na- tion’s foes.” “Peace, like freedom, is not a gift that tarries long in the hands of cowards, or of those too feeble or too short-sighted to deserve it, and we ask to be given the means to insure that ‘honorable peace’ which alone is worth having.” “No piled-up wealth, no splendor of material growth, no brilliance of artistic development, will permanently avail any people unless its home life is healthy, unless the average man possesses honesty, courage, common sense, and decency.” $a “I wonder if you recall one verse of Micah that I am very fond of—'to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God. That, to me, is the essence of ~ religion. .To be just with all men, to be merciful to those to whom mercy should be shown, to realize that there are some things that must always remain a mystery to us, and when the time comes for us to enter the great black- ‘mess, to go smiling and unafraid?
