JLANTA eo CHICAGO oo LOS ANGELES e NEW YORK Editorially Speaking Becoming. A Habit Bomb-scare common. The boy whose grandfather turned a skunk loose in the one-room school at the beginning of the century, now dials a number, says, ‘‘There’s a bomb set in the High School, and it’s going off at 11:10,” and then stands back to amuse himself with the wholesale exodus. Nobody can quite calculate the end result. Parents, secure in the knowledge that their children are sheltered during school hours, people who must go to work every day, locking their homes as they leave, find upon their return that their children have not been able to get into the house; that they have had no lunch; that they have been exposed to foul weather for which they were unprepared. Nobody knows how many cases of pneumonia follow a ‘harmless prank.” Country-wide, the school bomb-scare is becoming a habit. It is always a hoax, but who can count on this? An administrator must heed the senseless telephone call, the furtive note, the insane rumor. Remember the time, years ago, when a High School in Texas blew up? Not from a bomb, but because illuminating gas had seeped into the concrete block walls. Many children died in that blast. This was not a prank.” It bodies, soma of them unrecognizable. the Nation carried the ghastly news. There is the ever-nresent danger, in times like these, that the cry of “Wolf, Wolf,” will develop into a tragedy. Hour Fund Time One drive for Ronde follows another, the appeals are limitless, the mails are filled with literature about Indian Schools and Homes for Wayward Children, for the Handi- capped, the Epileptics, the Retarded. One. organization shares its list of prospects with an- other. and the choice is yours. You realize that modern medicine is making gigantic strides. You know that the need for funds is completely inexhaustible, to make re- search possible. You must make your decision between a hundred worthv projects, because you cannot support them all. Even a billionaire could not foot the bill for the money that is needed. A billionaire could not. . . but YOU can. By giving what you can afford to the Heart Fund, you are swelling the total. All the “Little People” together, make up an astronomical number. So, you can spare onlv a dollar, or maybe five. Have you ever actually gone without something you want in order to save a life? Tt is not as dramatic as plungine into a lake to save a child from drowning, but it is equally effective. All those dollars, put torether, smell the sort of re- search which can restore l~alth te a child, or better still, set a child’s footstens on the road to a robust life never hoped for, the stuff that dreams are made of, even ten years ago. hoaxes are becoming entirely too spelled shattered Headlines all over — — Moon-Shot And Soup That Moon-Shot . . . shades of Jules Verne! Back in the last century, Jules Verne forecast the landing of a projectile on the moon, and its return to earth. He got rid of the projectile afterwards, by a trick which should give the modern whodunit writers a whole set of inspirations. He launched it again, but in the wrong direction, and it bored its way straight down into the center of the earth. A fast vanishing generation thought that Jules Verne was pretty far out. both in space and under the sea, but kids these days think nothing of moon shots, or Mars shots, accepting them with the same aplomb with which they accept vaccination. A slight prick, and it’s all over, and it’s time to turn off the T-V and go for some of that much advertised soup, while Mother ladles out lectures on nutrition along with the noodles. Do children these days have any time for wondering? They have everything handed to them, neatly pack- aged, and with a long list of the nutrients contained with- in, in fine print on the outside. You no longer eat soup because it tastes good, or fall face first into the home-baked beans because you are y pungry. You are expected to resist food until somebody comes along and coaxes you, and you have to be told what-all it’s got in it that’s good for you, and why. ~ Wonder if it’s ever occurred to anybody why kids have to be driven into brushing their teeth after meals?

The main reason for purchase of a home on Old Lake Road, facing a daily round-trip to Mountain Top and the new RCA plant, was mod- ern education.

By Hix The lady cardinal’s bill is blushing rosily, and the papa cardinal is coaxing her with sunflower seeds, so it won't be long now. In midwinter, there is a flash of scarlet against the snow, and there is papa cardinal, stoking up in the bird feeder, with his wife sitting meekly in the dogwood tree, waiting for the crumbs. It- is truly astonishing, what one little breath of spring will do toward bringing the male of the species to heel. The crocus spears are pushing through the earth, and there is a delicate fuzziness at the tips of the maple branches. Last week, somebody reported an orange crocus, but it froze up in that recent cold snap. Crocuses never learn. They blossom prematurely, and then get nipped. But there is the plant, with its promise of spring, and with the first sunny day, it tries again. Pcople are already seeing robins, and soon they will be old- hat, undiscouraged by that odd white stuff that will surely cover the lawns and the food again before March goes out like a lion. After all, it did come in like a lamb. Somebody will call up in wild excitement, the sky, the wild geese are going over.” “Quick, look up at And there will be, a wavering wedge of flight, etched against the sky, off and away to their nesting grounds in the frozen north. Perhaps it is unkind to the wild birds to feed them in the winter time. A great deal of natural food goes untouched. There is the row of barberry bushes at the front of the house, just as laden with red berries as it was last fall. And those fat squirrels that chisel in on the supply of bird seed the suet, and the scraps of fat meat intended for the chickadees, might just as well store up their own acorns, instead of depending on a human who whisks them off the feeder and stands guard while the small birds eat. As soon as the snow goes off, the bird feeders are deserted ex- cept for an occasional nuthatch, or hairy woodpecker. Last timr> we had a light snow, it covered the cracked corn sifted on the back steps to attract the grouse, There were the eager little footprints going up the steps to the feast, the disappointed little footprints lagging heir way back down again. A lavish handful on the top, with the stone step carefully brushed off, and the next morning there were five grouse, where only two had come before. They took off with a dry rattle of tail feathers, but they had pecked the steps clean, and they had that plump and well-upholstered expression about them as they winged their way across Pioneer Avenue to their winter quarters in Mae Townsend's grove of evergreens. : There'll be some more foul weather, but nothing can hold back spring now. It’s on the way. ship. Among those present at the home of Francis Ambrose in Elm- crest were retiring director Jack Stanley, and long time Republican stalwart John Yaple. Mr. La Berge, after attending school board meetings for the past year, states: “I see a growing ten- dency in this area to let slip what the school district has gained pain- fully over a period of years. This could easily set back the progress of the schools by a decade. “As a father of young children, and a resident who is dedicated to progress, I think that iorward-look- ing citizens should take note, and late ” The La Berges moved here from! to the new RCA plant at Mountain Top in 1960.
