Safety Conference Here (■Continued From Page One) Nation, and “The Driver’s Hand book” for the State of North Caro lina. Following the general session the delegates adjourned to the Vocational Building where six groups met to discuss assigned problems that concern the teen age driver of today. Each of the six groups was supervised by a chairman, an as sistant, and an adult consultant. These directors were: group 1. Charles Woods, chairman; Gail Kirkman, assistant; and H. L. Wooters, adult consultant; group 2, Jimmy Jordan, chairman; Ran dy Burnett, assistant; and E. R. Medbury, adult consultant; group 3, Norm Odyniec, chairman; Mich ael Gardner, assistant; and E. R.

Following a dis- ID. D. Students Utilize Telephone Apparatus “Awright, this is me. Whatcha want?” answered Joe Shmo who had just been accepted by a rep utable firm as a service clerk. Just then his boss walked by. “Awright, Mr. Shmo,” he said sarcastically, “this is me and you’re fired.” Poor Joe! His first chance at suc cess down the drain. He simply couldn’t understand it. Cases like this occur often. An employee is often discharged be cause of discourtesy on the job. The proper use of a business tele phone requires several lessons in etiquette, and because of the im portance of such a duty, fifty mem bers of the D.O. classes of Mrs. McIntyre’s D.O. classes have un dertaken a special project on using the business phone correctly. In the actual course is included a section on telephone use, but through a special request, the classes received from a Baltimore firm apparatus for special work. This isi composed of a large “talk box” to which two phones and microphones are attacred. The par ticipating future office workers go into different rooms. The phone rings and the class listens to the ensuing conversation. What do they talk about? Skits prepared by this firm are seht with the other equipment. The class is divided into groups and each group is responsible for presenting the do’s and don’t’s of telephone eti quette. For instance, the office worker responsible for answering the phone should never let the phone ring more than twice. Her voice should be pleasant and should relay a tone of interest to the caller. She must be precise in any statement she makes. Many times the error comes from the customer or caller who doesn’t have her facts straight. It is up to the office worker, to straighten things out. cussion of the resolutions, which were unamimously accepted by the convention, a closing address was given by Mr. Jeter Williamson during which a luncheon invitation at the school cafeteria was ex tended to the steering committee and the consultants as guests of the Greensboro Police Department Athletic League. SUNSET HILLS RESTAURANT ^ai^ou^T^or StWlc Sped Our Specials You’ll Get FREE Mpth-Pro^ing Sujnimit Center j TURN OF EVENTS By Jkmmie Turner Just at a time when the western nations were being lulled by sooth ing tones from behind the Iron Curtain, there came a rude awak ening. Radio Peking made an an nouncement xthat seemed to mock their own “peaceful coexistence campaign.” The Chinese Reds had jarrested, convicted and sentenced 13 Americans to prison for “spy ing.” This act violates the Korean Peace Treaty since 11 of the men were flyers shot down in North Korea while on a military mission. Technically these men are prison ers of war and should have been exchanged when the fighting stopped. That is—according to the treaty. But the Communists, ap parently having no respect for laws or treaties, decided to keep them as political prisoners. Why the Reds did this and admitted it is not clear. It certainly won’t help their efforts to gain admittance to the U.N. Then on top of that they state their intentions of “liberat ing” Formosa—by force if neces sary. All these things make their talk of “peaceful coexistence” sound just a wee bit insincere. One of the most controversial political figures in recent years ALGER HISS, became a free man after serving 3 years, 8 months of his term. Legally he has paid his debt to society, although he still maintains that he was innocent and not a Communist. Now that he iii free it is likely that he will write a book relating his side of the case that sent him to prison for perjury. Another convicted perjurer, WILLIAM REMINGTON, was not as fortunate as Hiss. He was severely beaten by several inmates with a brick while sleeping in his cell in Lewisburg Federal Peniten tiary. Sixteen hours later he died. The F.B.I. collected the suspects and found that even among prison ers there is an anti-communist feeling. However they suspect that Remington’s murder was not motivated by politics alone. PAUL BUTLER will be the man guiding the Democrats in the 1956 elections. He was recently elected chairman of the Democratic Na tional Committee and has the sup port of potential presidential nom inee ADLAI STEVENSON. Butler has served in nearly every kind Oi party past and is quite experienced in running campaigns. There were also two other sig nificant occurrences recently the news that need no further comment: 1. the death of ANDREI VISHENSKY, and 2. the censure of SENATOR JOSEPH MC CARTHY.
