County now, but does reside in the state-
Hasty COMMENTS
By Mary ABoe Hasty
■ Something there is about a prin
cipal that if oßioe you're his pupil
yon never quite get over. That is,
if he happened to be the type yea
knew would bring wee ante yen if
yen ever got tat of Use, and you
knew tt wtthent ever tatag teM
yen tott it to your banes.
He was someone you left strictly
alone and hoped he'd do the same
in return. Jf vou were cornered in
to a conversation your usually wagging teenage tongue was
tied into monosyllables "Yes Sir-" "No Sir!" And if he
happened to be a bachelor and one day you heard he was
getting married you were shocked beyond words. Why only
humans got married....principals were, they were, er. Prin
cipals!
Only later did yen begin to aee a useful purpose. Kef
ereatces. And whoee name was invariably requested? Yen
guessed it
Adulthood with its added sophistication and artful dis
guises masked the inner qualms and brought you to the
point where you could almost look him straight in the
eye and add an extra syllable or two, like, "Good morn
ing," or a daring three-word sentence like, "How are you?"
Seal appreciation was a long time a*kwiig, when you
had two children of your own and you would think about
school and then multiply yew two by three hundred and
yw began to vtato a little.
And that's where my latest episode begins. Four
years ago I found myself going through the traumatic
experience of leaving two small children for the first
time and hieing off to college every day. One morning
the conversation went like this: Chip (age 8 and very
grave): "Why do you leave us every morning?"
Me (wavering): "I have to go to school."
Chip (demanding): 'Why do you have to go to school?"
Me (groping): "I have to go to school to learn to be
a teacher."
Chip (pleading): "But don't be a teacher. Be a mommy."
I aunaged to get to Ray class an ttete but I took nates
sHh my sun glasses on. We finally gat adjusted and the days
sped by and the battorat af learning to be a teacher was
no lake.
Education became a word that desperately needed de
fining. Everybody kept talking about it and a lot of tbe
talk didn't sound so good. Or was it the public schools and
not education per se, they were criticizing? I found some
theorized and documental answers and I did some theorizing
of my own which I will skip for the present. My main con
cern is with our local situation.
I have trad (with stately tear her I y trad) the hallowed
hale far two weeka new, and my perspective has done an
■heat face stoce the time when I ran ap add down them
Pity the poor principal with an inexperienced teacher an
Ma hand! No doubt ids perspective has dene an about faea
too, but if he s the one who now wishes to be left strictly
also* and hell da the aaate in return, ha haant lot it be
known. Hey, hat una of us humans!
He is professional to the core but that's only the
beginning. His memory has cataloged years and years of
children's names along with the present seven hundred,
where they live, what their problems were and are, their
parent's names, and on and on. He cares.
Ha aaid. and aseaat it "tt yen need me, call ma" rra
—Mad, And he baa a—wwr*d every time with an iffldfwy
that wsaid put my affteteney expert te dum.
Know where your tax money goes. In our acbool it goes

Davie Play
04) Game
Mocksville East Rowan
and Davie County played to
a scoreless tie in a North
Piedmont Conference high
school football game Friday
night.
In a special series of four
downs after the fourth quar
ter each team scored a touch
down. East got the ball first
and scored on a 10-yard run
by Bill Ketchie on fourth
down. The extra point was
made.
Davie County then got the
ball for four downs. On the
final down Phil Deadmon
passed to Tommy Brewbaker
for the score. John Norton's
extra point by placement was
no good.
The game will go into the
record books ps a tie. If
East Rowan and Davie Coun
ty should be involved in a
tie for the conference champ
ionship, East Rowan would
be considered the winner of
this game.
LIBRARY
Our staff had a good op
portunity on September 14th
to test the practical use of
meeting facilities (so care
fully planned when the li
brary was built, and we were
all delighted!
... :
It was moe to have forty
librarians from three Region
al Libraries in western North
Carolina request that they be
allowed to hold their meeting
in our library in order to see
it And it was a privilege
for our staff to have a chance
to visit them and hear their
fine programs.
The day was off to a fine
start, despite the rain, when
they arrived and enjoyed cof
fee and sweet buns before
the meeting. Mrs. Charles W.
Phillips and Mrs. Frank
Sain, Jr. supervised the serv
ing of this welcoming re
freshment time as well as a
beautifully and smoothly ma
naged sandwich and dessert
luncheon. Mrs. Phillips and
Mrs. Sain were valuable and
efficient volunteer workers,
and the library is very grate
ful to them.
Mrs. John Durham prepared
a lovely arrangement of
greenery and flowers, which
was much admired in the
main part of the library.
Hie program before lunch
was devoted to a study of
library story hour planning
and methods. After the study
a "sample" story was charm
ingly told by the speaker and
later a demonstration of the
use of puppets was given.
After lunch there was a
book review, and a discussion
of children's books, with an
excellent talk on children's
books written by North Caro
lina authors or about North
Carolina.
When the day ended all
agreed that it had been most
worthwhile, and pleasant as
well as profitable for us all.

■RSRIRRTH REPORT
by t
Congl IIISRHSRI
James T. BroyhUl
NO SLOWING DOWN
Congressional committees
continue to consider leg is- ;
lation without any noticable
slacking off. When Congress
is preparing to adjourn, the
wheels of the Committee slow
down or stop well in ad
vance. No such signs are in
sight today as Capitol Hill
activities proceed with a full
head of steam.
Last week, well behind
schedule, two of the import
ant annual money bills were
debated. The first dealt with
funds for the I>istrict of Col
umbia. In this legislation,
Congress is carrying out its
part of the responsibility of .
overseeing District operations
in much the same way as any
city council. Taxes are paid
by residents of the District
of Columbia. However, the
largest single property owner
in the District is the Feder
al Government itself, to lieu
of no taxes paid, a Federal
contribution must also ap
prove the District's operating
budget in the same way that
any municipality's spending
plans would be subject to
review and approval by its
governing body.
This year, a budget rac
ommendatian id $424 million
was >*m»BStod. However, tbe
House of Representatives cut
$43 million from these esti
mates to approve S3BO mil
lion. The Federal contribu
tion would be $49 million. Of
this total figure, there would
be $22 million for general
operating expenses, SBS mil
lion for public safety, SBO mil
lion for public schools, sl2
million for parks and recre
ation, $23 million for Sanitary
Engineering, SB9 million far
health and welfare, and sl4
million for traffic and high
ways.
With these reductions and
outlays, the District of Col
umbia's budget can
be brought into balance a.
gain and the serious problems
that gnaw at the Nation's
Capital can still be reason
ably met.
Turning from its role in
municipal administration, the
House tackled one of the
year's big appropriations bills
as the billion-dollar measure
for military facilities such as
air fields, training camps, and
housing for servicemen and
their families was brought
forward. This measure stim
ulated considerable criticism
of the Department of De
fense for confusing and per
haps misleading information.
During the debate, it was
pointed out that last year
a $3 billion program was
presented to the Congress
with stiplations from the Pen
tagon that the funds were
urgently required for 8,500
housing units, barracks build
ings, and training facilities.
A convincing case was made
and the funds were approv
ed, Shortly thereafter, the
Secretary of Defense frase SBB9
million in construction plans
at the time of widespread re
ports of inadequae facilities
for military families and
substandard condition!; for
troops in training camps.
In view of this action, it
was confusing, indeed, that
tbe Department should come
back to the Congress this
year and to ask for money
to construct facilities in the
same places where plans had
been laid aside only a few
months ago. There is no in
tention on the part «f the
Congress to deny funds sir.
gently required for defense
activities or the hou&mg and
training of military person
nel. Nevertheless. what is
"urgent" and what is "vital"
are questions that aie no*
being answered.
The irritation caused by
policy switches is obvious to
ttc Cwerem- a was bam
' expresed by ISoncraasnum Ro
bert Sikes (D-Fla.) the Chair
man at tbe Apprrapriatianfi
subcommittee who comment
ed that—"the Committee now
is not certain wbo to be
lieve, or when. I do not
doubt that those who testi
fied were doing so in good
faith. They were stating re
quirements or military con
struction based on the guide
lines assigned to the prog
ram then br*we the Cong
ress. Subsequently, a new set
of orders from the top re
flected changed decisions at
t±ie office of the Secretory of
Defense and While House lev
els and both the Conffem and
the witnesses were left hold
ing the bag.
It would be more realis
tic to say that tbe U. S.
military personnel and their
families are the ones who
are left holding the bag. For
they are left without hous
ing, which in many instances
is very badly needed; they
are left without modern train
ing facilities which the new
projects would have provid
ed, and these sacrifices our
country does not seem to feel
neceaaary to require of peo
-1 Die not wearms the uniforms.'
