IN EACH category, however,
there was evidence of parental
watchfulness.
“I pick my friends*" said 15-
year-old Carol Rasmussen of Bak-
ersfield, Calif. Then she added
reflectively, "but my parents
have to approve.”

was left entirely up to him. “But

This would put the Allies in a
goofy box: They’d have to get
permission for sending supplies
and people to Berlin from an East
German government they don’t
even recognize as a government.
All kinds of mix-ups could hap-
pen then although the East Ger-
mans would hardly try to shut off
Berlin without Soviet approval
since they’d have to depend on
Russian support if the West de-
cided to smash its way through.

Urdu came to be established
in the following manner: four
hundred years ago, Akbar, one
of the great Mogul Emperors of
India, was amazed to note that
his soldiers, although speaking
many languages, had evolved a
working soldier vocabulary
whereby they could understand
one another no matter what their
basic language was, by using a
mixture of common worda from
Turkish, Persian, Arabic, Push-
tu, Hindi, etc., applied on a Hindi
base. Meditating on the fact that
people could work out a com-
mon language regardless of lan-
guage barriers, Akbar was so
pleased that he ordered this lan-
guage to be established and
propagated throughout his multi-
lingual domains. To his minis-
ters’ queries about the name of
the new language he replied!
“As the new language comes
from the Army, call it Urdu.”

so their answers indicated.
As to whether or not he should
go to college. Bill Primm, 17, of
Mt. Pleasant, Mich., commented:
"After high school. I’m on my

Similarly, Ellen Sims* 17, of
Oakland, Calif., answered the
question of who would choose her
career: “I refuse to let my par-

Dick Moore, 16, of Dallas, said
he alone decided what clothes to

Off To Washington
Although the Record-Chronicle rarely has agreed
politically with U.S. Sen. Ralph Yarborough or with
Texas Farmers Union President Alex Dickie Jr.,
the new association should prove beneficial to both
men.
As of Tuesday, Dickie joins Sen. Yarborough's
office as chief administrative assistant. With Dick-
ie s long list of acquaintances all over the state and
with Dickie’s agreement with Yarborough’s general-
ly liberal political philosophy, the Dentonite should
do well in Washington.

tion of the masses. Today, about
one half of the elementary schools
are operated under church spon-
sorship and the remainder under
government sponsorship.
THIS BASIC situation has in
turn resulted in the vast majority
of Jamaican’s being active church-
goers. Whether in the cities or
along a country road in the moun-
tains, a visitor will see thousands
of Jamaicans dressed in their best
clothing, walking, riding bicycles,
waiting for public transportation
or driving to one church or an-
other on Sunday.
There are more than 40 recog-
nized religious denominations in
Jamaica, Including every denom-
ination known in England, and
One-Way Streets
One-way streets never have seemed to be the answ-
er to Denton’s traffic problems because of the city’s
lack of good cross streets and, in many cases, un-
usually long blocks.
That’s why it is somewhat surprising that the
Denton City Council has unanimously decided to
inaugurate a one-way traffic pattern on the major
streets, to become effective about Sept. 16.
Being creatures of habit, most of us will have to
find a new way to get where we're going, and there
likely will be Confusion Unlimited for a week or
10 days.
Perhaps it would be unfair to pass judgment on
the project until we see how it works, until we
see how well the streets are marked, until we see
whether we can get where we’re going any easier,
any faster.
Certainly, something needs to be done to ease the
traffic jams, particularly at the rush hours. Maybe
the one-way streets are the answer, after all.
Only time will tell.

For instance, 17-year-old Loret-
ta Good of Lincoln said the de-
cision of how to spend her vaca-
tion was hers, “but my parents
can interfere.” And Sharon Scar-
borough- 17, of Pomona said,
"It's my decision — within rea-
sons, of course.”
RARELY DID a third party
enter the decision-making picture
at all. In most cases it involved
the parents of a girl deciding for
her boyfriend what time he should
bring her home from a date.
There was one other interesting
third-party situation:
"My sister advises me what
courses to take in school," said
15-year-old Larry Schreiber of
Davenport.
"She’s a high school senior."

Nothing shows better what a
mess it is than Kennedy’s state-
ment Tuesday night: “Berlin is
not a part of East Germany, but
a separate territory under control
of the Allied powers. Thus our
rights are clear and firmly
rooted."
Those rights may be clear in
the Western mind but not neces-
sarily clear in the thinking of the
Russians or the East German
Communists.

Three hospitals are operated by
religious groups and serve to take
care of some of the overflow of
patients from government insti-
tutions.
In a land where illegitimate
births are numerous, there are
few orphanages, the largest car-
ing for 500 children. Jamaicans
are known for their love of chil-
dren and for the permanence of
their family groups, even those
which were established without
benefit of a formal marriage
ceremony. As a result, there are
a surprisingly small number of
unwanted orphans. Four of the
orphanages are operated by reli-
gious groups.

THE CHURCH membership at
Jamaica is steadily growing and
many of the established denom-
inations here are training minis;
ters to handle the increasing re-
sponsibilities of the churches.
The Roman Catholic Church op-
erates only a minor seminary,
has only 10 to 15 per cent native
clergy at present, but the Angli-
can, Episcopalian, Methodist,
Congregationalists, Moravians,
Presbyterians and Disciples of
Christ are among the groups train-
ing Jamaicans as clergy. As a
result, the vast majority of clergy
are Jamaican’s and several of the
churches are headed by native
born clergy. Eighty, of the 100
priests and brothers of the Roman
Catholic Church are Americans,
many of them from New Eng-
land.
Property used for religious and
educational purposes is tax-free,
and, in addition, the government
supports the schools operated by
recognized denominations. Teach-
ers’ salaries are paid by the gov-
ernment and, after the church has
constructed a school with govern-
ment aid, government funds are
available to keep it in repair.
THE ONLY control exercised
by the government is insistence
that the church operated schools
