WITH CONGRESS concerned, at least on the surface,
and both political parties on record with some kind of
federal aid to education measures, perhaps one thing
has been overlooked.
That is the potential for simplifying the problems of
administering public schools.

NEW YORK (AP_The handi-
est thing to have around the
house in an emergescy is a wife.
There's nothing else makes a
man feel safer.
The other morning I was sit-
ting in the living room putting on
my shoes. I had one shoe tied
and. breathing hard, was about to
put on the other when I happened
to glance up at the window.
There, as usual, sat our cat,
Lady Dottie, on the air-condition-
er. She loves to perch on top of
the machine and bat at the win-
dow glass whenever a bird, but-
terfly or moth flies near,
WHAT’S WRONG?
I yawned and started to turn
my gaze away, but something
pulled it back. What was wrong?
A second ouick glance told me
at once. Lady Dottie wasn't in-
side on the air-conditioner. She
was outside on it.
Someone had left the casement
window partly open. The cat had
climbed out Now she crouched
on the small steel surface of the
air-conditioner gravely looking at
the ground—nine floors below. If
a bird flew by and she made a
pass at it, I knew she’d be a
goner—nine live and all.
But it wasn't really the fate of
Lady Dottie that worried me. At
that moment I could hear my 7-
year-old daughter, Tracy, singing
in. the bathroom. I knew that if
anything happened to her cat,

the policy of aggression was “re-
peatedly formulated" bv Dulles
with his philosophy of "balancing
on the brink of war."
The rest of the indictment deals
with Powers and his alleged ad-
missions of guilt.
It has been suggested the Rus-
sians brainwashed Power into
confessing. Maybe he was. That
remains to be seen. One thing is
sure. He was caught flat-footed.
He may have felt he had no alter-
native to confessing.
The indictment says Powers
pleaded guilty to the essence of
the charge of spying. If so—and
he could hardly do otherwise when
this government admitted he was
on a spy mission—there wouldn’t
be much reason for a trial unless
the Soviet government, through
the Russian lawyer assigned to
defend him, argues that he was
hardly more than a messenger
boy earning a living and that the
real culprit was the American
government.
That kind of tactic will then
provide the Russian prosecutor
and defense lawyer with an oppor-
tunity to build a case against the
Eisenhower administration.
The State Department first denied sending Powers into Russia, said
before the world that Powers was
o
the indictment goes on for some
thousands of words to:
1. Damn the Eisenhower ad-
ministration for approving the spy
flights.
2. Damn American friends and
allies — like Norway, Turkey and
Pakistan — for letting this country
use bases in their territory for
the spy flights.
The indictment singles out
President Eisenhower, Secretary
of State Christian A. Herter and
Vice President Richard M. Nixon
for blame.
The indictment says "they at-
tempted to justify violation of
U.S.S.R. sovereignty by American
aircraft and elevated such viola-
tions into a principle of the state
policy of the United States."
The attack on Nixon was par-
ticularly heated.
Even the late secretary of state,
John Foster Dulles, who died al-
most a year before Powers made
his flight, was condemned.
The indictment, accusing the
United States of aggression by
of the International Longshore-
men's and Warehousemen's Un-
ion - Pacific Maritime Assn, took
part in the plan during the past
three years.
The Oregon State Dental Assn,
operated the plan for the union.
Dentists were avprehensive at
first. But in a poll. thev indicate
that the plan is a great success,
and should be broadened and ex-
tended to other unions.
NO EASY WAY
Fat persons who want to be
hyonotized out of their overeating
habits had best forget such seem-
ingly easy, quick methods, a Cal-
ifornia psychiatrist reports.
Not only is such treatment usu-
ally ineffective, it is potentially
dangerous and may heighten nr
create new psychological prob-
lems, says Dr. Charles W. Wahl
of the University of California at
Los Angeles.
When should hypnosis be con-
sidered as a diet aid?
Only when the dietary condition
threatens the life of the patient—
and outweighs the risk of later
psychological damage that may
come from hypnosis, he writes in
the Journal of the American Diete-
tic Assn.
Do massage your gums when
you brush your teeth.
Don’t brush too hard: it may
give you the feeling of "a job well
done," but it can damage teeth
and yums.
Do make sure you’re usiny the
right brushing technique; many
people favor one side of their
mouth when they brush, but are
completely unaware of this. Give
your dentist a demonstration so
that he may correct any flaws in
your technique. The uo - and-
down "sweeping motion" is best.
Don’t keen your toothbrush af-
ter all bristles become soft and
non-resilient or begin to wear
down, break off or shed.
Do schedule regular visits to
your dentist, and let him suggest
how often you should visit instead
of using a calendar system.
Don't eat too many sweets be-
tween meals, for candy turns into
the ecid that is implicated in tooth
decay.
Do drink at least a pint of milk
a day, and take vitamin pills daily
if you are not sure that vow daily
diet provides all the vitamins you
need.

authorities point to two key omis-
sions. First, two out of three peo-
ple haven’t been to their dentist's
for three years or more. Second,
though regu’ar brushing is ‘he
most effective weapon against
tooth decay, only one person in
four brushes his teeth regularly.
According to information com
piled by experts of a major tooth
brush company, it is likely that
over 100 million teetn now heat

from the "pliers" if only petrol?
would adopt these "do's” and
"don’t’s."
Do rinse your mouth with water
after every meal.
Don’t get the idea, If a tooth-
ache goes away before you see a
dentist about it, that the problem
is ended. The tooth will get worse
until it is made better.
Do introduce children to the
dentist at age 3. If you wait until
the child has a toothache, he'll
tend to associate the dentist’s of-
fice with pain — and hesitate to
make appointments later in life.

Some 100 babies are born in
England each year—the result of
artificial insemination with the
seed of the donor from outside the
marriage, reports Lancelet, a
British medical journal.
The practice apparently has
doubled in England in the past
ten years and in the United States
apparently is still more wide-
spread, the report states.
It is invoked in childless mar-
riages where the husband is sterile
or suffers from some hereditary
disease that would endanger the
life of children. TheBritish report
suggested laws should cover such
cases.
A special committee did not
favor the practice for unmarried
women, widows or separated mar-
riages, nor for married women
without the consent of their hus-
band and their physician.

DRAFT BOARDS
TO CRACK DOWN
FRISKY
"Here, kitty!” I called weekly,
rising. Lady Dottie heard me and
crouched lower. I was afraid to go
nearer. Our cat is • y frisky in
the morning, and at my approach
usually runs around the room and
over the furniture like a squirrel.
What if she leaped now?
Panic overcame me. My knees
weakened. Still holding one shoe
in my persviring hand, I clumved
out to the kitchen where my wife
was annoying two eggs with a
fork in the skillet.
"The cat—the window—Tracy,”
I mumbled.
Frances took one look at my
face and then brushed wordlessly
past me into the living room. She
hesitated a split second, then
moved calmly and slowly toward
the window.
"Nice kitty,’ she said softly,
"nice kitty."
She reached her hand unhur-
riedly out and began to stroke
Lady Dottle's back. The cat’s
ears went back, and she crouched
as if to spring away. But in that
second’s pause. Frances gripped
her firmly. She hoisted the cat,
stil without hurry. back inside,
closed the window.
SHE SAW IT
Then we heard a cry. Tracy had
come to the doorway and seen the
rescue She rushed over, took the
cat in both her arms and buried
her face in the warm fur.
"You know, if a robber or some-
one like that broke into this
house. I'd bust him right in the
nose." I said, lamely. “But when
I saw that cat out there, I— well,
I-"
“It's all right. Rover," said
Frances "I understand."

Dental decay is America's most
common disease (one person in
every eight has no teeth at all)
yet few people realize how com-
mon the problem is, how early it
begins and what can be done to
avoid it.
Any dentist can tell you that na-
ture designed man’s 32 teeth to
last a lifetime. But the average
American, at age 30 has only 12
healthy, unfilled teeth. The aver-
age 21 - year - old has five teeth
missing. Over 50 per cent of us
had at least one cavity when we
were only 2.
Fifteen out of 100 of us wear
artificia dentures, and another 20
out of 100 don’t wear them but
should. Moreover, though dental
science has been making huge
ant of schools would handle these problems in the
year 2000:
Parent: I want my child's teacher changed.
Superintendent I only work here; see your senator.
Citizen: My schcol taxes are too high
Superintendent: See your congressman; finance bills originate
in the lower house
Teacher; Cur arithmetic books are worn out; can we order new
on-s?
Superintendent: This is election year; no additional expenses
this year.
Citizen: Kids are cutting across my lawn on the way home from
school and have damaged my petunias.
Superintendent: Don't bother me. File your list of damages
with the United States regional court of claims.
Parent New To The District. What school will my child attend?
Superintenden; The U. S. office of education does not distribute
its building and pupil allocation until August
Teacher; When can we start teaching that new unit which we
developed for eighth grade history some time ago?
Superintendent: Let's see. we submitted our recommendation for
that unit in 1922 They're working on it last I heard.
Janitor: I want a raise.
Superintendent; See your congressman; finance bills originate la
the lower house
High School Student: But why can't we have a pep rally?
Superintendent Thia is an election year; White House directive
dated Jan. 4 forbids all rallies that might detract from nominating
convention rallies
Parent; How many days will we get for Christmas vacation this
year?
Superintendent: Maybe I don't have to answer that question;
did you vote in the last national election?
Parent: That teacher kept my child after school just for throw-
ing a paper wad!
Superintendent: Detention for paper-wad throwing upheld by
United States Supreme Court, Althouse vs. Union School District,
Ga., 11 T.381, 1978
Principal Why didn't I receive my annual supply of writing pap-
er for the third grade?
Superintendent: Congressional budget committee increased mili-
tary appropriation this year; education budget reduced.
Parent: You’re not teaching phonetics like they used to?
Superintendent USGPO Bulletin No 96472-Y eliminated phone-
ties, especially when they occur in words.
Parent: How do I get the bus to stop in front of my house?
Superintendent : See senate subcommittee on intrastate commun-
ications and transportation.
Board Member: Who got our cafeteria milk order last year?
Superintendent I can't react to that question; my secretary-
clerk, junior grade, misplaced my 1999 copy of manual of super-
intendent's stock answers to inquisitive board members. -
Citizen: As chairman of the local campaign for foot corn re-
search, may I have permission to solicit funds from pupils?
Superintendent This is an election year; White House directive
) of Jan. 4 forbids any solicitation of funds from pupils enrolled in
public schools, ton school time) for other than party campaign
chest.
Parent: My child can’t eat that lousy food served in the cafe-
teria!
Superintendent: Why tell me? Write the secretary of agri-
culture.
Parent: The discipline in this school is too lax.
Superintendent; This is an election year; White House direc-
tive of Jan. 4 forbids school officials from alienating any regis-
tered voters.
Parent: My little Everett is so smart for his age; why can't
you make an exception for him to start first grade even if he
won't be 6 until December?
Superintendent: Is he Republican or Democrat?
These, perhaps are a bit over-simplified. But any-
one who's ever worked for a government agency would
almost put them in the realm of possibility,
it’s something to think about.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pilot
Francis Gary Powers will be just
a minor figure at his own spy trial
in Moscow.
The Russians will present the
American government, which sent
him on the spying mission, as the
real villain.
Because this is so, Powers,
whose U2 plane was brought down
last May about 1,200 miles inside
Russia, is apt to get off lightly.
The blueprint for the trial was
laid down in 4,000-word indictment
of Powers made public by the
Russians last Tuesday.
It will provide the Soviets with
world-wide anti-American propa-
ganda.
This government won’t have
much defense except to argue tit-
for-tat since the Russians spy on
this country.
Otherwise, the American gov-
ernment rendered itself defense-
less against the spying charge.
