In his opening remarks. Mr
Leatherwood said "The American
School system is the world's great
est, most ambitious, and moat suc
cessful form of education. It has
justified the convictions of the
founding fathers, who valued edu
cation as the cornerstone of
democracy. However, they could
hardly have Imagined the situation
of 1956 where the opportunity of :
getting an AB degree is easier for
American youth than the chances
of a grammar school education a
century before."
"Vet," he continued, "this sys
tem is in trouble b> its very
magnitude The excessive postwar
birthrate, which jumped from
nearly 3 million to over 4 million
in 10 years, set a record which has
steadily increased since."
In pointing out the importance
of education. Mr. Leatherwood
Quoted Thomas Jefferson, who
said, "If a nation expects to be
ignorant and free, it expects what
never was and never will be."

leges and traced the growth of
education and its relation to popu
lation since the early days of this
country. He told how the National
Education Association has asked
for Federal Aid as early as 1883
and discussed the Kelly bill whjeh
was introduced in Congress last
July, explaining how it would af
fect Haywood county.
"The crisis in the United States
school system cannot he cured
without considerable effort, time,
money, and Imagination and ulti
mately the Job of educating the
American child cannot be done
without the realization that learn
ing as well as citizenship, imagi
nation as well as adjiertment, are
equal parts of a school's mission."

Vanilla For Flavor
By JUJU Dumorr
THERE'S fashion in foods, too
Flavors and Items that are pop
ular for years, suddenly are out of
favor. But some things are per
ennial favorites, firmly ensconced
in our kitchens for generations.
One of these is pure vanilla ex
tract which has all the pungent,
yet delicate, taste and aroma of
the vanilla bean. Children love It
and it goes so well on Its own or
together with chocolate In deli
cious, healthful drinks.
WMk Molasses
To make a new drink, stir 1
tbsp. mild-flavorjd molasses and
tfc tap. pure vanilla extract into
1 c. cold milk. Serve in tall glass.
Or mash 1 fully ripe banana
until creamy and smooth. Beat la
3 tap. sugar. % tap.-vanilla, a dash
of salt and \ c. cold milk. Serve
-cold. a
For a really unusual drink,
prepare Spanish Chocolate Sauce,
a wonderful Mend of chocolate,
vanilla and spices. The sauce Is
stirred into cold milk or used to
top cake or Ice cream.
(earnest MM. tkt i
FFv
Melt 3 squares unsweetened
chocolate and 2 tbsp. butter or
margarine over hot water. Blend
c. sugar, Vfc tap, ground cinna
mon and tsp. ground nutmeg
and mix with melted chocolate
Gradually stir In 1 c. strong cof
fee. Boll S min. over direct heat
Cool. Stir In tbsp. pure vanilla ex
tract. Makes lftc.
Then there's the excellent idea
of doing a caramel sauee and us
ing that tor delicious drinks.
Use Heavy Skillet ?
To prepare \ e. of sauce, brown
1 e. sugar In a heavy skillet, stir
ring constantly until all the sugar
is brown and melted, stir in Vi c.
boiling water. At this point the
sugar will lump, so cook until all
lumps are dissolved, about S min
Remove from heat. Cool. Stir In
tsp. vanilla. ?
For a special small-fry treat
that the grown-ups will demand,
too, heat together 1 e. milk, 2 tbsp
caramel sauce and 1 scoop vanilla
ice cream. Serve In tall ? oa
glasses.
