Dear Mildred: I cannot (figure out whether people enjoyed reading about my trip to Washington, or whether they just like to read other people's mail. But nevertheless never-theless I have had numerous readers ask me when I am going go-ing to finish my Jetter to you on the Washington trip. Readers, bless 'em, I sure do appreciate hearing from them. If I had written to you sooner, soon-er, you would have had a "tizzy", as my letters to relatives re-latives are few and far between. be-tween. Two months have passed since I travelled East and enjoyed en-joyed having dinner with the President of the United States, John F. Kennedy.

This was the most luxurious suite of rooms we visited in the Capital. Everything in the room gave an air of dignity. In t.,pi.' rooms many, many decisions de-cisions are made, and- many d scuisions are held, whlcn affect you and I. Lat.:r we were honored quests at a reception given by Senator Frank Moss. Here w had the privilege of chatting with Senators and Congressmen Congress-men from various sections of the country. Saturday morning, Congressman Congress-man Blaine Peterson from the First Congressional District insisted on taking us on a tour of Washington. We teased Congressman Peterson a bi during the day because, ironic- as It was. not a man on the tour lived in Congressman Peterson's district, and consequently con-sequently none of us could vote for him. Congressman Peterson was a perfect host. He furnished his car and escorted us to places we never might have had the opportunity to see otherwise. We visited Mount Vernon, where George Washington had his home. This was indeed beautiful place. The georgeous postcards we see do not por tray its beauty. We toured the Washington "home. It was mansion in his time, but the small room where the founder of his country passed away was just a small upstairs bed room, with a small narrow stairs as the only access. A nurse and a doctor at the side of the partient's bed woula make the room really crowded The landscaping and trees on the Mount Vernon estate have been preserved in their orig!nal status as nearly as possible. The place is a largs. estate on the banks of the Potomac river. Slave labor would be almost a necessity to keeD such a place looking at tractive under private own ership. Later we visited the burial dace of George and Martha Washington. Here at Mount Vernon is the final restin? place of the founder of our country. A colored gentleman was acting as guard and led Interest in School Board Race Raised by Entry of Five Candidates; Concern Seen for School Issues urer the day we visited the tomb. I don't like to be controver sial, but try as I may, I could not see the place where Wash ington could have thrown a silver dollar across the Poto mac. Of course, many years have passed since this episode was supposed to have taken place. But believe me, that river is big and wide, and I just don't quite believe that dollar-throwing fete ever hap pened. Later that (day Congressman Peterson escorted us to the Lincoln Memorial. It certainly gave me a thrill to stand and read the Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Pro clamation. We then visited the newly- erected statue of the Victory Flag being placed on Iwo Jima by the U.S. Marines. A person could spend a hour or so just walking around this huge statue studying the different features and expressions on these youthful marines as they are depicted placing the flag of the U. S. atop this famous hill on Mt. Surabachi. The Congressman suggested we visit Arlington Cemetery. This is certainly a historic and impressive place. No true American could look out over the row on row of white crosses cros-ses of soldiers who have sei-ved sei-ved this country without uttering utter-ing a silent prayer in their behalf. be-half. The tomb of the Unknown Soldier is guarded by Marines every hour cf the day and night. The guards are changed every hour on the hour. This was another sight which made a person pause and think. We were told that the guards for this duty are hand-pickea, and they receive extra pay for performing the guard duty at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The guard resembles a mechanical man the way he rigidly marches back and forth in front of the tomb. At the Washington Monument, Monu-ment, we were not able to go up to the top becauee of the long line of visitors ahead of us. We did not see but a fract ion of the tourist attractions WITH ONLY HOURS remaining before the expiration of the deadline for filing for election to the Alpine School Board, four Orem citizens joined incumbent school board member Dr. R. Phil Shumway in the race to represent re-present the west side of Orem. Veteran observers indicate thst five candidates for this particular school board post which is up for grabs this year may be a record number num-ber seeking the position. At any rate, indications are that the School rmrd election this year will be an exciting "horserace" between five through-bred through-bred candidates. Dr. Richard S. Claris, J,imes E. Mangum, Darrell Moses and Mrs. Glen L. (Jean) Jenkins brinsr to the election personalities and qualifications as attractive at-tractive to their supporters as Dr. Sh urn way's are to his supporters. Their candidacy also brings to the election an evidence of the widespread concern of the electorate for the policies and programs of the school board. Many people have expressed the view that resounding defeat of the m-way m-way election this spring was in effect an expression of a lack of confidence of ithe people for the school board. Others have interpreted the leeway lee-way defeat merely as a vote Against higher taxes for any purpose, however wortny. The results of the negative leeway vote did generate interest in school problems among a group of Orem women who for the past sever!' months have dedicated time and effort to learning what was troubling teachers teach-ers and hampering education in the Alpine School District. This group of women, organized under the name Citizens for Better Education, wrote letters and sought help from any source they thought could shed light on school problems. They visited the State Department Depart-ment of Public Instruction , various school districts where large research programs were underway, interviewed others who had been engaged-in similar programs in other school districts, and eventually came up with a plan of action. One phase of their program was to interview teachers and query them about their teaching., situation., and their relationship with their administrators adminis-trators and the school board. According to Mrs. Lee Engleking, president of Citizens for Better Eduction, Educ-tion, "only four teachers rated the board's cooperation as excellent, and 28 rated it good. The cooperation was rated fair by 74 teachers, while 81 rated it poor. Thirty-six declined to answer." Just how much weight sudh teacher teach-er opinions should carry is problematics), problemati-cs), but the indications are clear that there is rozm for improvement in the teachers' relationships with the school board. We expect that the five candidates for the position to represent Orem on the school board will endeavor to inform in-form the public about their views regarding re-garding the problems in the district and how ithey propose to solve them. As a public service, the columns of the Orem-Geneva Times are available avail-able for this purpose.
