A Lesson in Socialism
As a teacher in the public schools, I find that
the socialist-communist idea of taking “from each
according to his ability,” and giving “to each ac-
cording to his need” is now generally accepted
without question by most of our pupils. In an effort
to explain the fallacy in this theory, I sometimes
try this approach with my pupils:
When one of the brighter or harder-working
pupils -makes a grade of 95 on a test, I suggest
that I take away 20 points and give them to a
student who has made only 55 points on his test.
Thus each would contribute according to his ability
and—since both would have a passing mark—each
would receive according to his need. After I have
juggled the grades of all the other pupils in this
fashion, the result is usually a “common ownership”
grade of between 75 and 80—the minimum needed
for passing, or survival. Then I speculate with the
pupils as to the probable results if I actually used
the socialistic theory for grading papers.
First, the highly productive pupils—and they
are always a minority in school as well as in' life—
would soon lose "all incentive for producing. Why
strive to make a high grade if part of it is taken
from you by “authority” and given to someone else?
Second, the less productive pupils—a majority
in school as elsewhere—would, for a time, be re-
lieved of the necessity to study or to produce. This
socialist-communist system would continue until the
high producers had sunk—or had been driven down
—to the level of the low producers. At. that point,
in order for anyone to survive, the “authority”
would have no alternative but to begin a system
of compulsory labor and punishments against even
the low producers. They, of course, would then
complain bitterly,, but without understanding.
Finally I return the discussion to the ideas of
freedom and enterprise—the market economy—
where each person has freedom of choice and is
responsible for his own decisions and welfare.
Gratifyingly enough, most of my pupils then
understand what I mean when I explain that social-
ism—even in a democracy-—will eventually result
in a living-death for all except the “authorities” and
a few of their favorite lackeys.

The Long, Hot Summer
It Occurs to Me...
DETAILS ARE incomplete at
this time, but youngsters will
be interested to know that a
calf scramble is being planned
for this year’s Taylor Rodeo
Aug. 24-26.
It was the suggestion of Dan
Coates of Fort Worth, the noted
announcer who’ll handle the mi-
crophone at this year’s show,
according to A. O. “Pete”
Schier.
“It’s been tried in other
places and tends to add color
and stimulate attendance,”
Schier said.
It’ll probably work like this:
Youngsters up to 12 will be eli-
gible. They can register ahead
of time, or simply “fall out of
the stands” at the Rodeo. There
will be no entry fee.
Calves with ribbons on their
tails will be turned loose. Andi
prizes will be awarded to the
winners.
The straight poop will be com-
ing up soon.
WHILE WE were talking
about the calf scramble, I ask-
ed our police chief about our
new courtesy parking ticket
boxes (the 25-cent deal) and
asked him if they were being
used very much.
“To a limited extent,” he
replied, “but most people still
like the bargain they get for a
nickle by going to City Hall
within an hour.”
He said he felt sure those
who missed out on the nickle
deal were taking advantage of
the quarter deal.
After all, there’s not much
excuse these days for having
to pay a $1 fine.
Most of the people who pay
a quarter are local people, al-
though once in a while there’s
an, out-of-towner, Schier said.
Schier said on the average
day the police department re-
ceives about a third as many
quarters as nickles. . .some-
thing like maybe 19 nickles and
13 quarters.
BACK TO THE Rodeo a min-
ute. Seems like from where I
sit the directors did an out-
standing job «qf setting the
dates this year.
Simply because there is no
competition, at least none
that I know of.
This is the time of the year
often referred to as “dog days,”
as far as various organizations
and their activities are con-
cerned. Not much of anything
going on.
Except, of course, the cot-
Why GrOW Old ... By Josephine Lowman
This little story could be called,
“The Case of The Wandering
Waistline.” Fashion’s waistline
has been wandering up and down
and sometimes disappearing en-
tirely for a few years now.' It
has changed more rapidly and
more times even than skirt
lengths, which have been con-
sistently going up.
The July Glamour magazine
says that your waistline is where
you belt it. There IS great va-
riety in belts. There all sorts—
chain belts and also sashes which
cling to the hipline.
In a way your waist is where
you find it, and if you can’t
find it you are in a bad shape!
Actually, a slim waistline is es-
sential even if it is not defined
by a belt or the cut of a dress
or suit. The overweight wo-
man can wear a narrow belt
more flatteringly than she can
wear one of the sack-like or
low-belled dresses.
Many women who have nice
figures otherwise, and who are
the correct weight, find .that at
middle age they must do special
exercises in order to battle rolls
over the girdle. If you are in the
mood' to get ready for fall clothes,
do a few waist exercises regular-
ly each day. Try this one.
Stand tall with the feet com-
fortably separated. Raise the
arms overhead and clasp the fin
gers. Keep the elbows 'and knees
straight as ^ you bend to the left,
Raise the trunk and bend to the
right. Raise the trunk and con-
tinue—alternating left and right
Try this one also. Lie on the
floor on your back with your

WORDS OR MUSIC FIRST?
NEW YORK ® — Composer
Richard Rodgers doesn’t know
whether the words or music will
come first in his show-writing
collaboration next year with Alan
Jay Lerner.
In partnership with the late
Oscar Hammerstein II, Rodgers
always did a melody after com-
pletion of lyrics.
This time, he says, “I’m com-
pletely flexible, and I’m sure Alan
is too.”

ton harvest. But I’m sure ro-
deo-minded farmers, of which
I understand we have quite a
few, can find time to see at
least one of toe performan-
ces.
SOME STATISTICIANS have
come up with figures showing
that American citizens establish-
ed a new high record last No-
vember when 68.8 million of
them voted in toe presidential
election.
Sometimes we worry about
political apathy, but this report
is somewhat encouraging:
This was about 6.8 million
greater than toe number of
votes cast in toe 1956 election,
the statisticians for a noted
life insurance outfit said.
Three principal factors ac-
counted for the increase in toe
number of persons voting, they
said.
It reflected, in part, a growth
in toe adult population of toe
country. There was also an ad-
dition to the voting lists of
about 400,000 civilian residents
of Alaska and Hawaii, who be-
came eligible voters1 for toe |
first time in a presidential"
election.
Furthermore, toe record-
breaking vote in 1960 reflected
an increase in the proportion
of people exercising their right
of sufferage. A record high of
64 per cent of toe civilians of
voting age cast votes.
The South and Southwest)
generally, -had the largest rela-
tive increases in the proportion
of persons voting.
There are various reasons
why people don’t vote. The lar-
gest number -of toe disenfran-
chised are citizens who do not
meet residence, registration
and other state requirements.
Among toe others not privileged
to vote are about 2.75 million
aliens of voting age. Then, too,
large numbers of citizens who
qualify as voters, for one rea-
son or other, fail to exercise
their perrogative.
