Unless teacher salary negotiations are completed quickly, superintendents will not be able to meet the deadlines realistically. Theyll probaby submit budgets which will have to be revised at considerable expense and perhaps after unnecessary second public hearings. These are no valid reasons for further delay in the negotiating process. The Legislature acted long ago on school finance. It chose not to enact a teacher negotiations law during its short special session. One suspects that both the teacher organizations and the school boards are waiting to see what the other does. Teacher organizations may hope that some wealthy district, such as San Juan, will settle first with a generous teacher raise and thus set a pattern for the state. School boards, on the other hand, may hope some district will get its teachers to accept a modest increase and thus set an opposite pattern.

Would you send your booklet, You Can Stop Sinus Trouble? I enclose 25 cents and a long, stamped W.P. envelope for it. Answer: Sinus is only one cause of a constantly drippy nose. Or lets put it this way: such a nose may be related to sinus trouble a.id it may not. A continuously dripping nose in most cases raises a strong suspicion of allergy. Just as some people have this trouble during the hay fever season, others can be allergic to something that is constantly present, such as house dust, the feathers in pillows, animal danders, or countless other things. Polyps, or some deviation of the nasal septum, or other factors interfering with normal drainage of the nose can also cause an exasperating drip. $ome chronic infection in the nose also can be responsible, although usually there will be some other symptom in addition. The sinuses are a sort of network of caverns in the bone back of the nose and above it. It is possible although for a sinus condition to denot usual velop and make your nose feel pretty miserable.

Created to show off four elements of ballet, the opening work, Quartet, includes four separate short works, choreographed by Ballet Wests soloists. From its opening attitude, Carolyn Andersons "Nocturne, discloses an interest in pure dancing untrammelled by any literary program. Through the delicate elegance of its six dancers, one gets the purity of the dance expressing nothing but itself, and thereby expressing a thousand degrees and emotions and the poetry of emotion. The dancers include the choreogra- pher, Miss Anderson with John Hiatt as her cavalier; Diane Bradshaw with Tomm Ruud; and Mary Lynne Sliupe with John Nelson.

Blount Threatens To Quit As Postal Chieftain By DREW PEARSON and JACK ANDERSON a wil Wdlwi After bumping his head against the federal bureaucracy for four months, Postmaster General Wm-to- n Blount is ready to return to the construction business. He has threatened privately to resign. d As a construction tycoon, the Blount could rearrange the landscape with his bulldozers. But as Postmaster General, he has found it next to impossible to rearrange the postal service. He has pushed against the massive bureaucracy with bulldozer force, but he has made virtually no progress. His plan to put the Post Office on a business-lik- e basis by transforming it into a giant TVA-lik- e corporation has run into the powerful opposition of the letter carriers. They have been swarming all over Capitol Hill, buttonholing their Congressmen, to block Blounts plan. Most Congressmen, already sore at Blount for depriving them of postal patronage, have happily agreed with the mail carriers. In fact, the postal lobby is so powerful that President Nixon apparently has had second thoughts about Blounts proposals. At least, the Postmaster General has complained privately about lukewarm support from the White hard-heade- House. If he now carries out his threat, he will be the first to leave the Nixon Cabinet. Hunger Problem At a secret strategy session inside the White House, President Nixon talked over with Republican Congressional leaders his plans to feed the hungry. Secretary of Agriculture Clifford Hardin led off with a blunt admission that the program has been badly administered. Altnough all states are now distributing either surplus food or food stamps, he reported, the benefits arent going to the people who are most in need. However, he still felt that the best way to feed the hungry was to give them food stamps, which they could redeem at tneir grocery stores for the food they p wanted.

And it will be hack It's a good movie, but a violent one And for that leuson, Paramount does not recommend it for youngsters no sex, but a lot of killing. Anyway, a friend of mine saw the picture. He checked with Howard Peaison about the violence, and decided to leave his three small youngsteis home . promised to make it up to them. Keeping his promise, the father took the three children to a puppet show on Saturday. It was Hansel and Gretel. Now in True Gi it the show isnt two minutes old before the father of Mat-ti- e Ross gets blasted into Kingdom Come. He isn't on the screen long enough to tell whether he can act or not. Thats violence! But in tiie puppet show, the parents of Hansel and Gretel are trying to lose them in the woods! Now if anyre- needs body porting to the authorities, its parents trying to lose their own kin in the deep forest. And on top of that, the kids are captured by a wicKed witch. Now there are wicked witches, but this one practiced cannibalism. The word cannibalism, according to Webster, means dining on your fellow man, or extreme cruelty and murder. You can take your pick in this fairy tale. She, the witch, is fattening up Hansel to use him on the menu! Anyway, the end of the story is when Gretel and Hansel catch the witch by surprise and pop her in her own oven like a pot roast. This is the puppet show that my friend took his kids to see. Then, later in the week, his first grader was in a show at school. It was Rapunzel or something similar. This opens with some guy thugging vegetables from a witchs garden. And when he gets caught, instead of taking his medicine, he promises to give away his own daughter after her first birthday. My friend got to thinking about all this violence, and checked the books his children had been given over the years. There was Snow White in a hardbacked cover. Snow Whites stepmother orders one of the soldiers at the castle to take the girl out into the woods to kill her. And this is in the very first of the book. When the mother finds out that Snow White is still alive by consulting a tattle-ta- il mirror, she tries to poison the kid with an apple. Then there was Jack the Giant Killer. He chopped the bean stalk down with the giant at the top. The giant got more than a numbered headache. He was done in! Then, halfway into the book, my friend comes across Little Red Riding Hood. The wolf is the bad guy, but hes dressed in womens clothing. He plans on eating up Red Riding Hood, and lies a lot But old Pop Riding Hood, who is a of the woodsman (not a Wood-maWorld), takes his ax and sends the old wolf to the happy hunting grounds.

He pointed out that in impoverished areas children receive more than half of their daily food requirements from hot school lunches. Yet this vital food source was cut off during the summer vacation. He urged that school lunches be provided in these areas the year around. Malnutrition. he declared, can be wiped out. W h y," the President, shouldnt the Advertising Council do something instructive on this? Hardin said the food advertisers already were offering diet information over TV to help tlip poor. Arizona's Congressman John Rhodes suggested surplus food was so unpalatable that even the hungry could scarcely eat it. Don Rumsfeld, the Presidents new czar, reported that the Health, Education, and Weltare Department was conducting a study to scp what could be done about this. Originally, the President had intended to deal with malnutrition in his own time, after he had prepared a comprehensive program and nad found the money to finance it. But testimony before Sen George McGoverns Committee on Hunger in America stimulated Nixon into immediate action. asked y i ? if MERRY-GO-ROUN- D WASHINGTON At the same time, some of the most knowledgeable experts emphasize this is unnecessary. Both the teachers and the school boards know what's in the bank, so to speak, and both should be as prepared as theyll ever be to begin talking about who gets what. Its past time for offers and counteroffers to have been made. Serious bargaining should have been under way long before now. MUSICAL WHIRL A Drippy Nose C.
