SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD

Sh'ocld Tour High School
Youngster Own A Car?
Last year this column asked:
Should Junior own a cir while
in high school?
The question triggered much
: interest and since then consider
able research has been made
concerning it.
First of all, Dr. Roy Blanton,
principal of the laboatory high
school on the campus of Appa
lachion State Teachers College,
Boone,. N. C-* answered that too
often, good grades and cars-don’t
mix!
A fandom sampling of ten A
students in* his school revealed
that not one owned a car.
But sampling of ten students
who owned cars showed their
average grade to be between a
, D and C.
An Idaho high school, princi
pal reported that not one
straight-A student among ‘his
-Seniors owned or had “ready ac-i
cess” to a car.
Only 15 per cent of the B
students drove cars to school.
But 41 per cent of the C stu
dents and 71 per cent of the D
students had cars. And what of
failing pupils? A jolting 83 per|
cent had the use of wheels!
This and other studies (some
of them not altogether scientific.)
led the National Education As
sociation at Washington to sur
vey the opinions of principals,
supervisors, teachers and pupils
of 1 states.
Among results of the NEA’s
2%-month, canvass: 95 per cent
of educators believe that cars can
and do drag grades down.
William Condit, a Los Angeles :
vice principal, observed that thej
high school car owner can ac-,
tually joy-ride himself right out
of an eduation. He may wind up
quitting shool —or at least ath
letics —to get a job so he can
keep the vehicle perking.
Pupils usually find their car
upkeep and operation ‘costs much
higher than they expected#-»»pne
source puts tjie minimum yearly |
expense for a car at
SI,OOO.
One of the major cost items
for the unmarried male under 25
is insurance. He pays double
for minimum insurance up to,
S4O0 —his penalty for causing
$125 million in property damage
and bodily injury annually.
Some companies knock ten, per

frightening.
The high accident rate among
youth, some observers thintann*-
dicates that youngsters are Sfen
erally too immature to drivje gm- ]
tos, much less own them. In |
some states opinion leaders have 1
called for a higher licensing age
|. jbr drivers. I
And many high schools and
universities throughout the coun
try have already totally banned
the driving of autos to school
grounds.
But those who have studied
the problem on a more scientific
basis believe that a general re
striction is not the best solu
tion. This is, indeed, a mobile
age. To ban driving for all
youngsters is unfair to many
who are capable and careful, t
The critical factor is not ne
cessarily age. It’s more likely
to be personality and mentality.
For instance, many students who
own cars and make poor grades
would get low marks, car or no
car. Some of them want a car
because they make low grades,
just as some turn to delinquency
when frustrated in conventional
avenues to success.

I wealthy commuriities report that
I cars don’t usually hinder studies
where well-heeled parents bear
operating costs of vehicles their
off-spring drive.
Robert L. Milliken, a South
Dakota State College counselor,
compared grades of South Da
kota male freshmen with cars
against grades of “frosh” with
out cars. When students with
similar ability were compared, 1
there was little difference in
grade averages.
But the average college stu
dent’s IQ and maturity are high
er, of course, than the average
high schooler’s.
All of this points up tlje fact
that every case is different.
Whether a high school youngster
should have access to a car de
pends largely on the individual.
How would you judge him?
Dr. Blanton of Appalachian
High School today suggests these
measurements:
1. Does he look upon a car
primarily as transportation and
not as a status symbol, offering
power and prestige?
2. Can he maintain and use
the car without devoting less
lime and interest to study?
3. Can he generally be trust
ed to exercise judgment and
make wise decisions when you’re
not around?
If you as the parent can an
swer an objective yes to these
key questions, states Or. Blan
ton, Junior should be a safe bet
with a car. If not, a vehicle
in his hands is as dangeroqs as
a loaded gun!

By ROBERT D. DAHLE I

Recent information released by;

Hourly earnings of food mar
keting employees have risen for
the past 10 years and are ex-i
pected to rise again in 1961. La-j
bor costs per unit of product
have risen at about half the
rate of hourly earnings, due to
improvements in labor produc

keting firms. These costs have
remained fairly stable over the
last few years and are expected
to maintain their position
through next year.
Transportation costs are ex
pected to average a little higher
next year. This increase is a
result of a general increase in
rail freight rates which became
effective on October 24, and an
advance in rates of truck and
barge lines during the latter half
of 1960. Selective reduction in
rail freight rates in 1961 may
offset, in part, increases made
in 1960.
The overall effect of the slight
increase in marketing costs will
not be felt in the retail sector,
due to an offsetting decline in
the farm value of products.
Marketing firms which insti
tute cost reductions—by increas
ing the efficiency of labor and
careful cost control of purchased
supplies—will find that it will
pay again this year. Rising la
bor rates mean internal plant ef
ficiencies will be economical in

THE GREATEST GIFT
International Sunday School
Lesson for December 25
Memory Selection: “Thanks be
to God for his inexpressible
gift.”—ll Corinthians 9:15.
Lesson Text: Luke 2.
To discover why Jesus Christ
is God’s greatest gift, and to
consider how we should re
spond to him, is the crux of our
lesson for today.
In studying our Scriptures to
day, once again the beautiful
and awesome story of the birth
of Christ is unfolded, tirelessly,
agelessly. And by giving this
account concerning the shep
herds, Luke emphasizes the fact
that God can reveal himself to
the lowliest; and into Luke’s
phrasing. “To all the people . . ”
we may read Luke’s' intention to
emphasize the universality of
the gospel.
Christmas is many things, to
all men. It can be memories,
bright and golden; it can be joy
that heals the aching heart with
gladness. It can be wisdom that
makes commonplace duties glow
in heaven’s light. It can be, and

It’s wonderful to receive “the world” for
Christmas—but think how much more wonderful
it would be if we could give Christmas to the
world! If the true Christian spirit could permeate
the globe, all fear of war, destruction, extermina
tion, would be over.
It is only throurh the Church that Christian
teachings can hope to reach to the darkest
corners on earth, bringing enlightenment in their
wake. By proclaiming God’s eternal message, the
Church can bring the hope of peace closer to
reality.
But if Christmas is to be given to the world,
then all of us must first do our part by living our
own individual lives in the Christian way. Start
now—by attending regularly the church of your
faith.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on
earth for the building of character and
good citizenship. It is a storehouse of
spiritual values. Without a strong Church,
neither democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound reason*
why every person s! ,uld attend service*
regularly and support the Church. They
are: (!) For his own sake. (2) For his I
children’s sake. (3) For the sake of hi*
community and nation. (4) For the sake
of the Church itself, which needs his
moral and material support. Plan to go
to church regularly and read your Bible
daily.
