Controversial issues are often barred in the classroom, both on account of community pressures and 9 because teachers fear that they might be de nounced bo "red" or "radical." While there is, no doubt, some place for current affairs in the curricula of the elementary and secondary schools, it may be questioned whether great emphasis should be placed .upon-, con temporary .: events. IAfter all, the business of the schools is to train pupils in certain fundamentals which we might call the tools of thought and thus leave them in a position to read, understand and evaluate controversial issues for themselves. This Is Safety Week Our congratulations to the Per quimans (Business and Professional Woman's Club for its leadership in nnnmotinir the bicycle safety cam naie-n beinc conducted here this week. To our way of thinking this is one of the outstanding projects conducted in our county, and will, no doubt, make every boy and girl, owning a bicycle, conscious of the hazards one corujijtm. ly faces on the streets and highways. The BPW Club has worked hard to arrange the program being carried out and we feel that it is going to be a big success but, at the same time, we wish to call to the attention of our readers that safety is a year 'round program and should be practiced not only by the bike riders but motorists and pedestrians alike. We should all join in the move ment to make our streets and high ways the safest in the state and na tion. One accident prevented may save a life and that would be worth all of fiie precaution practiced by our entire .population. Let's not forget bicycle safety week after it closes 'Saturday but keep working at safety the year around. Let's cut down our highway accidents to the point where our county can be pointed to with pride for an outstand ing record as to safe streets and high ways. The March Of Dimes Perquimans County's annual March of Dimes campaign 3s underway, anti we are again urging our readers to support this drive wholeheartedly by iainimr the millions of other Amen cans who are contributing funds to help Btamp out infantile paralysis, The dimes and dollars that we con-, tribute here may help to solve the mysteries of this disease which each year cripples thousands of children and adults. Fortunately, we here in Perquimans have not been victims of the epidemics which have swept the nation in recent years but . . . who knows ... we may be hit the next time and if we do we will need the heh) that is made available by the National Foundation, supported by the funds you contribute during the current campaign. The records show that the people of Perquimans are always generous in helping a worthy cause, so we are urging everybody to contribute to the March of Dimes, thus aiding our county committee to meet its quota and helping the National Foundation to be prepared for the fight against Polio if and when it strikes again, Watching The Groundhog There are many well-known sayings about the weather, attesting the ef fort of man through the ages to un derstand the uncertainities of future . days. , . . , . i . One of the most celebrated methods for forecasting the weather "for the next six weeks," occurs on Wednes day, February,, 2nd, which is known an the eastern; part of the United States a "Groundhog Day." The supposition is that the ground hog, coming out of winter quarters, will return to sleep if he sees his shadow, thus indicating six. more weeks of winter. If the day is cloudy, he will stay out because this means ' an early and balmy spring. We have no idea that' the ground hog is an accurate weather Dronhet but, like many other Americans, we will give a passing thought to the kind of day that faces him when he emerges from his hibernation. Ex perts assure us thai' belief in the groundhog's prediction is not connect ed with any religious festival or cue torn and we readily believe it. Current Affairs In Schools A nationwide' study of the teaching oi current affairs in the elementray ana secondary schools of the nation concludes that the school do not give . sufficient classroom time to an ade quate program for teaching carrent 4 . It is pointed out that, . in most -' schools, there are one or twot sessions a. week, designated as "Current , Events", periods, but that eontempor. . ary happenings "are not made a suf ficient part ofthe total curriculum.: LOOKING AT WASHINGTON (Continued From Page Three! of the United States in their foreign relations and that, if they do not, we will punish them by withdrawing tire aid. This is exactly what the Russians have been telling everybody in Eur ope. Stalin and his propagandists have been asserting that the Marshall Plan was designed to control Euro pean nations and to make them sub servient to the United States. To "punish"' the British for their inde-j pendent diplomatic course would be to prove the correctness of the Moscow assertion that the real purpose is the domination of Europe. The United States has insisted that its economic recovery plan was, and is, without hidden strings and ulterior motives. The European countries have accepted this declaration at its face value. It has remained for Ameri cans, some in Congress, to intimate that our declarations were sham ad that indeed, those who get our help must become our puppets.
