American, and Asiatic areas. He is . a graduate of the Chemical Warfare School of Edgewood Arsenal, Md.; the Infantry School at Benning, Ga.; and several classes of the Command and Gen-eral Statf School at Leaven-worth, Kan. In 1940 he was ordered to duty as adjutant of the famed Sixth Airbase Squadron, then stationed at Salt Lake City, and upon be-ing promoted to captain in 1942, Further, I do not believe that any government should operate any business that any private citizen is willing to operate and pay taxes upon. "I believe it is time the small businessman should get a decent break. Our individually-owne- d businesses today are literally being crushed to death between the forces of big government on the one hand and uncontrolled big corporations on the other hand. We must make it easier to establish and maintain small businesses, and if we do not do so immediately, our American way of life is doomed to death in one or two more generations." became commanding officer of the 1186th Guard Squadron and provost marshal of the Salt Lake Army Airbase. A disabled veteran, he spent nearly a year in several hospitals as a result of injuries received in World War II, but fought his way back to full-tim- e active duty and spent the last two years of that conflict as a member of the Air Forces General Staff on spe-cial troop escort and confidential courier duty that took him by air' and water all over the world. He has made his home in Salt Lake City since 1940, except for time spent traveling the world in the armed services, and a brief interval in San Diego, and nearly thrpf vpars in Washington. D.C. where he was first a member of the staff of the National Air Museum of the Smithsonian In-stitution, and then a member of the staff of National Geographic Magazine. His wife is the former Lou Jean Fairbanks of Salt Lake City, a descendant of pioneer Utah families, who presently is vice-preside- nt and assistant gen-eral manager of the Ex-Cel-C- is Beauty Products Co., a cosmetics manufacturing concern estab-lished by her grandmother near-ly 50 years ago. "If elected." Mr. Weston said, "I shall fight for an increase of opportunity for the individual American citizen, and shall do my best to halt the alarming trend toward socialization, and to encourage a re-bir- th of a sense of governmental and social re-sponsibility at the state and com-munity levels. I shall work for a rural renewal program that will place the family residential farm and the small town factory back in their proper perspective as the economic and political backbone of the United States. "I do not believe the federal government should perform any function that can and ought to be performed by the state gov-ernments," Mr. Weston conti-nued, "and I do not believe that any of our governments should do for our people what they can and ought to do for themselves.

Clyde (right), Cynthia Pino, (center) daughter of Mrs. Joe Pino, 34 S North 9th West, Orem, Utah, age 5, who had polio at the age of 6 months, and (left) Maurice Warshaw, Utah State Chairman of the 1962 March of Dimes Drive. we furnish victims of paralytic polio, can be seen from the huge numbers of people with disabili-ties caused by birth defects and arthritis," he continued. "More than 11,000,000 Americans suf-fer from arthritis or rheumatic diseases. As our medical advisors V tell us, in the vast majority of . arthritic patients, disability can be prevented or reduced through early diagnosis and early total treatment. More than 250,000 American children are born each year with a significant birth de-fect that may cause lifelong dis-ability. Many congenital defects go unrecognized in children but cause problems in later life." The little girl was queried, "How many brothers and sisters do you have, Sue?" "Nine." "Goodness, that many chil-dren must cost a lot." "Oh, no," she answered. "We don't buy 'em they just come." With a proclamation by Gov-ernor George D. Clyde, the New March of Dimes opened its 1962 campaign in Utah Tuesday to raise funds for a stepped-u- p bat-tle against diseases that disable millions of Americans. Maurice Warshaw, Utah cam-paign director said the drive will continue through January 31, and that campaign events will include a Telerama, March of Dimes Ball, Bowling Tourna-ments, and a special premiere showing of Cinerama II, "7 Won-ders of the World." Mr. Warshaw said that contributions to the drive were needed by The Na-tional Foundation to finance widening attacks on crippling birth defects, arthritis and polio. "Our ultimate goal is to pre-vent these crippling diseases, and the accelerated research program financed by The National Foun-dation is our brightest hope," he said. "But we are broadening our program of patient aid at the same time. Pain cannot wait." Mr. Warshaw explained that establishment of chapter-sponsore- d special treatment centers and evaluation clinics had been speeded up during the past year. These centers provide improved medical services in treating pa-tients not receiving adequate at-tention from . other sources. In addition, National Foundation chapters with sufficient funds have been authorized to aid vic-tims of all types of birth defects where such help is needed. "The need for these programs, in addition to the continuing aid How Public Are Our Public Schools, Magazine Inquires Unofficial segregation based on where people are forced to live and how school districts are set up is the shame of many cities in the United States. It denies millions of children the right to a good education and is legally and morally wrong, de-clares Helen Puner in Parents' Magazine (January). More Negro children, for ex-ample, attend what are in fact segregated schools in the major cities of the North than attend segregated schools in urban areas of the South, since the over-whelming majority of "in-migratin- g" Negroes live in the black-be- lt ghettos of our major cities. These schools in the poorer areas usually are older, less well-equippe- d, more crowded than schools in middle-clas- s neighbor-hoods, and staffed with teachers less well qualified than others. But dont' blame the schools alone for cultural deprivation of students, Mrs. Puner warns. "The hydra-heade- d monster of social and economic ills that attacks the educational achievement and aspiration of these children must be laid at society's door." Schools racially and economi-cally "segregated" help perpetu-ate and even widen the gap be-tween the educational opportun-ity offered to middle-clas- s chil-dren and that offered to the un-derprivileged. These schools cre- - ate an atmosphere from which the vast majority emerge with the stigma of second-clas- s citi-zenship fixed for life. Because of their lack of ex-posure to stimulating experi-ences, underprivileged children have more limited vocabularies than other children, show up poorly in early I.Q. tests. They show serious reading difficulties in the early grades, lack remedial reading help and fall behind, grade after grade. (Most children with lowest I.Q. and achievement test scores come from the lowest social and economic backgrounds, children with the highest scores from the highest income levels. Thus, a child's educational pigeonhole usually corresponds with his so-cial class despite his native intel-ligence. The director of the Col-lege Scholarship Service declares we are losing the talents of 150,-00- 0 able youngsters a year from the lower income levels. This is three-quarte- rs of the bright pupils who do not go on to col-lege!) There are amazing and heart-ening results, Mrs. Puner says, in the few school systems, partly financed by foundation money, which have begun to tackle the problem. Among them are New York, Chicago, Philadelphia. Pittsburgh, St. Louis and San Francisco. Their . common approach (which can be used anywhere) is: a saturation program of re-medial education, cultural en-richment, individual counseling and psychological support, the involvement of home and neigh-borhood, the attempt to infuse the children with hope ana aspi-ration. The heartening outlook is that the schools can help. Pilot projects have proved that pover-ty and race are not insurmount-able obstacles to educational achievement. But an epic-size- d job remains to be done. "We must create an urban school system in which every child has an equal opportunity for education, in which initial cultural inequali-ties are reduced, and in which a child does not repeatedly meet massive defeat," Mrs. Puner points out. This requires large-scal- e plan-ning, dedication and money. We must all help, the author stresses adding: "We must see beyond the protected bailiwick of our own neighborhood, beyond our own children. We must extend our willingness to be taxed fed-erally or locally to provide the necessary funds without which these segregated, underprivi-leged children are wasted or worse. An educational system that discriminates against classes of human beings does not damage them alone; it harms all of us who sit in shaky superiority in the direct path of the whirl-wind." Peace Corps Needs Home Economists The Peace Corps needs 500 home economists for programs slated for the next 12 months, according to R. Sargent Shriver, Director of the Peace Corps. In a letter to Dr. Dorothy S. Lyle, president of the 27,000-memb- er American Home Eco-nomics Association, Shriver ex-plained: "The range of skills that the newly developing nations de-sire from the Peace Corps has assumed a definite pattern. A substantial and important part of this pattern is the skill of the home economist. Most of the na-tions we will serve are asking for home economists with the largest number being requested by the countries of Latin Amer-ica." Shriver pointed out that such countries as "Brazil, Venezuela, Nigeria, and India want volun-teers who can serve as home demonstration agents, 4-- H type club leaders, teachers in nutri-tion and health, clothing and tex-tile designers, and similar assign-ments." All of these are jobs performed by home economists. Dr. Lyle announced that she is circulating a "call-to-actio- n" to the 500 colleges and univer-sities that offer majors in home economics to ask their coopera-tion in recruiting home econo-mists for the Peace Corps. Each year, approximately 8,000 stu-dents graduate with degrees in home economics usually with a specialization in one of six areas textiles and clothing, foods and nutrition, applied art, family economics and home manage-ment, family relations and child development, and housing and household management. To date, home economists are already serving in the Peace Corps in Chile, the island of St. Lucia in the West Indies Feder-ation, and Nigeria. aiiiiNiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniuiiiiiiHiiiiiiininiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuii) I News Preview Congress in likely to raise! postal rates again even though f 1 1962 is an election year. . .
