Miss' Fortune. "This year the Australian states art
running ads in American newspapers offering
teaching jobs."
Because she had heard reports of unfavorable
Australian racial attitudes, Miss Fortune deliber
ated over whether or not to accept the fellowship.
But, she said, she has been assured of a comfort
able visit by the Australian officials..
A science teacher for 13 years, Miss Fortune
noted secondary schools in Australia are more tech
nical than in the U. S. "Our schools tend to teach a,
general science. In other countries the entire teach
ing program is based on a career-type* approach.
Many of the technical school students go directly
into a job after school and must utilize skills they
learned in school. We have few schools on that
level, particularly in the South." > 4 (i .
Extra-curricular activities aren't included in
the strenuous educational programs in European
and Australian schools. Although she believes
American schools sometimes overemphasize extra
curricular activities, Miss Fortune stressed the ac
tivities play an important role in "developing the
entire person."

Writers
Forum
Writers Forum has chosen
Mrs. Drucilla Lee Washington
Mason as the Mother of the
Year. Mrs. Mason is the typi
cal mother-type of yesteryear
and we wanted to pay tribute
to this type of motherhood
before it vanished completely
from the American scene. You
recall the lavender 'n lace
'n verbena sachet vintage who
walked a few steps behind
the "mister." The head of the
household " was always
"mister." This was the type
who prayed daily for the
husband's health and great
strength so that he might
"lead and guide" his family In
the right direction.
Mrs. Mason is a wonderful
person to know. This quiet,'
unpretentious lady is well in
formed because she keeps
abreast with what is happen
ing in the world about her
and, she is never a party
pooper with quips like "you'll
never get to heaven that-ah
way."
She is a native of Lynch
burg, Virginia, however, she
migrated with her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Golden Lee, to
Durham wheh she was quite
young. Drucilla Lee attended
the city schools, and graduat
ed from a local Sewing School.
For many years she served as
a first class seamstress, how
ever, declining health forced
her to abandon the trade she
dearly loved.
Miss Drucilla Lee married
Mr. Oscar Allen Washington
and this happy union was
blessed with four children:
Addrean Louise (Mrs. King
now), Rosa, Oscar Allen,
Junior and John Washington.
After the death of Mr. Wash
Youth ic great . . . full of enthusiasm and
energy. But take a tip from an "over 30."
All the enthusiasm end energy in the world
won't produce "a better world" . . . without
capital in the bank to back it.
Save now for what you want in the better
world of tomorrow.

MRS. MASON
lngton, the widow married Mr.
George Mason, the father of
Earl Mason, the popular
Sports newswriter for The
Carolinian.
Mrs. Mason reared her
children with all the love and
devotion that a mother can
bestow upon her brood. And
as we very well know, the
source of mother's love is a
never ending stream.
This mother is a devoutly
religious person. She joined
Union Baptist Church in 1936
under the leadership of Dr.
A. S. Croom and, die has
served as a faithful member
throughout the years. The
"ties that bind" her to God
and her church grow stronger
each passing day.
After all said and done,
Writers Forum is proud of its
Mother-of-the-Year selection.
Dear Writer: Now that
Spring has sprung, you have,
at your finger tips, hundreds
of things to write about: de\*
drops on the morning grass;
daffodils forcing the cussed
wild onion* where they should
stay - in the background;
too, you can add the bee* to
your bird yarn*. Then, of
coune, you can add landscape
studies to the thrilling love
scene In chapter 2 - part 3.
Speaking of landscapes, have
you noticed Hillside campus
lately? Now that the drab
look of a com field after a hail
storm has disappeared, a scenic
Post Card nek is missing a
sparkling, beautiful card. Who
said, " 'feasor Lucas can't see
for looking?" Friends, turn
some of your raves toward
dear ole Hillside High. Hie
Sarah A. Duke Garden won't
miss your "ohs 'n ahs."
Dear Reader: your inquiry
about Union Baptist Church
news the week of the 18th is
above 'n beyond us. However,
we are happy to add .that
Mr. Bernard Morrison did a
beautiful job as messenger for
U. B.'s Youth Day Service.
The Durham High School stu
dent was terrific; his message
was sound doctrine, sprinkled
with persiflage which gave the
listeners the impression that
their sins weren't really terri
ble - they only needed swift
anninilation.

G'» Swing School was every
thing the critics promised
and, more. The nostalgia,
manifested aa the extra agan
za deftly unfolded, was that
additional something. Most of
us know what school is like,
but there is the realization
that you never really had any
profound school spirit. So,
one pines through an evening
with the school - set remem
bering where you might have
fitted into the scheme of
things if you hadn't preferred
being the futilitarian.
Mr. G was awarded a 26
year Community Service
Award. Gee whiz! Why are
thoughtful people so long
getting around to putting
their thoughts into action?
Mr. G should have had his Mr.
Congeniality Award a dozen
years ago. Have you heard the
students sing Mr. G's praises
they are genuine.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia
Brig. Gen. In Tam,

al Assembly, tentatively agreed
Sunday to accept the premier

Cabinet.
In Tsm told reporters that he
wss leaning "more thsn SO per
cent" in favtr of accepting the
request of Cheng Heng, chief of
state, but had not yet made a fi
nal decision.
In Tam said if he does form a
government his' top priorities
would be to fight the war
against the enemy, press for a
constitution for the six-month
oltj republic and rebuild the na
tion from the ravages of war.
If In Tam, a popular general,
can form a government it will
end this young republic's 13-

Premier Lon Nol's resignation.
Lon Nol suffered a crippling
stroke in February.
