CLUES: One of them does not live in Davie 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 en the best »"(* latest and instructional equipment *"4 sup plies available tor your children, and they are kept to top working order. No slipshod buniaas here!

Rowan 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.

Aycock Elementary School, Kannapo lis. Miss McDaniel is taking part during the fall quarter, September 18th through De cember Bth in the student teaching program at Appala chian State Teachers College, Boone, N. C. In this program students devote approximate ly twelve weeks to student teaching in the field for which they have been pre paring. Miss McDaniel is tea ching fifth grade under the supervision of Miss Barbara Stallings. As part of tfhe Student teaching program, the Appa lachian student usually lives in the community near the school and participates in community activities as well as in school activities. The student devotes full time in the school and gradually takes over the full teaching load, always under the •supervision of the supervising teacher and the principal. The local school's participation with Appalachian's student teach ing program is a valuable as set to the general education program of North Carolina.

I ■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.'
