He claimed he had the answer in 1967. B...He would stop the war in Vietnam. C...Hed slow down the space program until we could afford it and D....He would cut taxes; at least hed remove that goofy surtax. Im disappointed because he has done none of these things. A. Inflation...The cost of living has gone up 12 percent in the past two years. If a 12 percent zoom upward is halting inflation. Ive been tutored incorrectly as to the meaning to . that word. , How can a feller halt inflation by accepting a 100 percent increase in his own salary, con- - From the desk of the Superintendent Davis Evans doning a 50 to 60 percent raise in the salaries of his subordinates, pushing a retirement plan for old presidents to the tune of $60,000. (It is now $25,000 per year) because he claims he ' , feels sorry for Harry Truman. It seems to me that this Cinderella man is preparing for his own retirement. Why is it that he doesnt realize that when he accepts inflationary salries and retirement payments, other people throughout the country get the idea that they should at least receive a tithing of the amount paid to the Big Shots. I dont care if some silly comic in Las Vegas does make more than the president; silly people are paying them, but we the Little People, the American Taxpayer are paying for the inflationary activities of Washington D.C. B. War. stoppage... .It is true that Brother Dick has brought a few of our fighting men home, but too many are still over there fighting a useless war that keeps spreading over the Middle East. In a column a few months ago, I called it a Goofy War, and I received a letter from an upset veteran. He claimed the war was being fought to stop the commies from coming up center street and taking over my home. I never answered that letter, but I can say to him now that my column may be read by a few thousand people at best. He should write to Paul Harvey who also calls it a Goofy War, because his reading and listening public is in the millions. America has had a good reason for every war she has fought except this one. Charles De Gaulle of France told President Kennedy that France wanted nothing to do with it; it would turn into a quagmire out of which we could never return successfully and England also refused her assistance. Our trying to get help in this war, reminds me of the chicken that tried to get help in the planting and harvesting of some wheat, but none of her animal friends would assist, so she did it all herself, but here the likeness in the stories separate; unlike the hen who had flour in the wintertime, we are winding up with over 50,000 of our strongest young men dead . Some people have asked the question, What will happen to our schools under the community school concept if we continue to follow the philosophy of opening the schools to correlate closer and closer with the immediate needs and demands of the various segments of the community? One good answer to this inquiry was given by former President Lyndon Johnson at a National Educators Convention. He said: Tomorrows school will be a school without walls - a school built of doors which open to the entire community. Tomorrows school will reach out to places that enrich the human spirit; to the museums, to the theaters, to the art galleries, to the parks and rivers and mountains. It will ally itself with the city, its busy streets and factories, its assembly lines and its laboratories so that the world of work does not seem an alien place for the students. Tomorrows school will be the center of community life, for grownups as well as children, a shopping center of human services. It might have a community health clinic, or. a public library,, q theatre, and recreation facilities. It will provide formal education for all and only God knows how many citizens and it will not close disabled for life. its doors anymore at three America has won all her wars It will employ its in the past; we can afford to oclock. buildings round the clock and its teachers round the year. in the summer time is the tourists view of a all schoolhouse, securely locked, the playgrounds fenced and swings, teeterboards and The program will feature the slides either locked or disOur American Heritheme, mantled while children are tage.

Dont quote me but I believe that if we had a few presidents with a slug of teenage boys in their families instead of kids too young to fight or girls only, this war would come to a screeching halt. Mama President would see to it. C. The Space program..This last moonflight cost us 460 million bucks. How many ghet-tocould we have torn down and remodeled for that much es dough? True, Im glad we are ahead of the Russians in the space program, but is it worth the success when a confused economy exists here on the ground. D. Taxes ... Brother Dick promised before he took office that taxes would be cut. He seemed to Late the surtax as much as I did. Two years have gone by and the cutting of taxes belongs to the future, probably in the summer of 1972, just before he runs for a second term. You know I wouldnt be surprised but wtiat many things happen in 1972. Something may be done about inflation. The war in Vietnam may end. The space program slowed down for a period of six months and the surtax lifted. Its a fact that the voting American forget easily at voting time. This country doesnt need a good five cent cigar, it needs more men like George Washington, Abe Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt. We just cannot afford to have an $85 billion plant (schools) in this country open less than 30 percent of the time. The ideal community school therefore becomes one which faces the real fact that a school must meet changing demands and needs of those who provide for its existence. It then begins to make a difference in the lives of people. The school makes the in providing the difference learning processes that allow both young and old to make it in terms of the demands placed upon them by modern society. It actually becomes as simple a fact as saying that if the individuals being served by the learning centers of a community dont succeed then it maybe difficult to find a solution to some of the problems now facing us. For too long, in too many communities we have allowed school buildings and adjacent play areas to remain locked and unused except during school The limited hours of hours. school accessibility were all very well for the days of the rural school when the constituency was small and scattered; but the conditions and demands of modern life are very different. Not unusual People once believed that the began to mate on Febru14. The keeping of St. ary Valentines Day as a day for lovers probably grew out of this belief. For many years young people in Europe would meet together on St. Valentines Eve. Each person became the valentine, or the special friend of the one whose name he drew from a valentine box. Today it is still the custom to exchange cards and gifts on February 14. It was not until the beginning of this century that the custom of sending valentines became popular among children. A Roman priest and a bishop of Terni were the most important of several saints named Valentine. Both were executed in Rome in the third century. It is probably just a coincidence that their feast day is also' the day set aside for lovers. The Roman festival Lupercalia, .which occurred on February 15 may also be related to the modern celebration. birds top y to see fte sraiiJjs While Here Shop Thru Our Used Cars THIS WEEK'S SPECIAL -- 1970 V-- 8, GALAXIE 500 4-do- or automatic, power steering, air conditioning, power brakes, Sold new for $4500 now just $319500 TISC FINER FORD SALES and SERVICE .Santaquin, Utah i. j ' i |
