Rappahannock News, September 6, 1951

WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6,1951 USDA Farm Review Gets Under Way Rappahannock farmers during: the next (week or so, have a chance to voice their opinions on the policies and programs of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And the County Agriculture Mobilization Committee wants them to speak up, according to H. S. Barksdale, the committee’s chairman. They also want the opinions of all other folks interested in the county’s rural life, as part of a report to he compiled and known as the Family Farm Policy Review, he Baid. Similar surveys are being conducted in all Virginia counties and in all states. County reports are to be incorporated into a report which the Virginia State Ag. ricultural Mobilization Committee will submit to the Secretary of Agriculture some time early fall. Mr. Barksdale explained mat the nationwide sampling; of rural opinion will be through county and community meetings to which all farmers will be invited, and in many cases through a farmto-farm canvass. A committee of two citizens from each district has been elected to carry out the survey in this county. They are: Raymond Johnson and Norman Grimsley from Stonewall; John Davis and C. If. Ramey from Hawthorne; <3. E. Johnson, Jr., Lucio Kilby, and James W. Fletcher from Piedmont; Wade H. Massie, Jr., and E. M. Jones from Hampton; J. P. Cook and Russell Sutphin from' Wakefield; and W. G. Eastham and John Lshvrence from Jackson. In the event you are not contacted by one of these men, i£ is requested that you write, call, or go to see the members of this cimmittee and express your opinion on the farm programs serving you. Request for the study was made by Secretary of Agriculture C. F. Brannan to determine how well the Department’s programs are fitting the needs of family farms, Mr. Barksdale said. Not lust farmers alone, but business leaders, rural ministers, housewives, instructors of farm youth, and others will be asked to make recommendations, he added. *‘The basic idea is a fine example of democracy at work,” he said. “We want to get the ’grass roots’ thinking of everybody connected with farm life. We want farm people to share in shaping farm policies so that the resutling programs will provide the kind of service family farms need.” Mrs, Hubert C. Jenkins Mrs. Christina Bradley Jenkins, (widow of Hubert Carson Jenkins, died Saturday, September 1, at the hospital in Front Royal, after a long period of illness.

Buntin, since the beginning of a special safety campaign in Rappahannock county. Two arrests were for speeding, two for driving drunk, four for reckless driving, two for no operator’s license, and two for hit-and-run. Of local arrests, two were from Sperryville, two from Amissville, and . one from Boston. Trooper Buntin Btated it is a little e**ly in the campaign as yet to tell of much improvement in the safety driving on the county highways. Sheriff J. W. Critser has made no arrests as yet, and he states, like the Trooper, that to date he has noticed! little .change in county driving. The two officers are continuing their campaign to dear the county roads of hasardous drivers. Teaching—Its Challenges And Opportunities By G. Tyler Miller (The following address was delivered by G. Tyler Miller to the teachers of Rappahannock and Warren counties on Thursday, August 30, on the occasion of the District Teachers' Meeting.) Today, our Nation faces and will continue to face for a long period of time problems so serious that they threaten the termination of our American way of life and the loss of the freedoms we have so long cherished and enjoyed. All thoughtful citizens are concerned because of the uncertainty and tension during this period of mobilization for national defense. The times are indeed ominous and never before as a nation have we faced such stresses and strains. There is disunity in our land and among our national leaders when our very survival as free men and women demands unity of purpose and action. Corruption, graft, dishonesty and political chicanery have become prevalent among some men in high position who fail to regard public office as a public trust. Even some of our education institutions, with halhxwyi traditions of honor and service to our, country, have become involved in questionable practices growing out of over-emphasis on athletics, unwise or ineffective instructional practices, and failure to develop in the individual student a personal code of honor. As citizens and as educators, we are concerned about the welfare of our country and its institutions. The recent scandal occasioned by the wholesale cheating of certain students at an institution like West Point, on top of the previous revelations* of deplorable corruption at some of our other educational institutions of national prominence as a result of gambling on college basketball games, comes as a disturbing shock to all good citizens. wny ao 1 Bring to your mien* iion at this time these disturbing events in our National life? Because you and I and the many thousands of others engaged in the profession of teaching, on account of these very conditions and the ever-menacing threat of communism face a more serious challenge and a greater opportunity than that faced by any previous generation of educators. I am convinced that now and in the years ahead to a large degree the future of our way of life and the very distiny of our country will depend upon how effectively the teachers of, America meet their responsibilities to children and youth in the classrooms of our public schools, colleges, and universities. Roy E. Larsen, publisher of Time and Life magazines, who, as chairman of the National Citizens’ Commission for Schools, is contributing greatly to the awakening of American communities to the problems and needs of the schools, emphasizes the role of public education as a bulwark of democracy. He stated the case appropriately in an address which he delivered in Cleveland, Ohio, in June. I quote a thoughtevoking and pertinent paragraph from this^address: "Our main powers as a people —physical, intellectual and moral ' .—have always been directly fed by our public education, for it was the unique role of the public schools to give substance to the unique American ideal of equality of opportunity. Whether we survive with freedom will depehd • on how that ideal is translated into living reality. The fate of the American public schools can be directly equated with the fate of our country. It is in this context that I view the problems of the public schools.” That education is an essential element of national defense has often been declared by responsible leaders who are in a position to know the facts. * * General Dwight D. Eisenhower has said: "To neglect our school system would be a crime against the future. Such neglect will be more disastrous to all our freedoms than the most formidable armed assault on our physical defenses . . . Where our schools are concerned, no external threat can excuse negligence; no menace can justify a halt to progress.” Ambassador Warren R. Austin has said: "The Nation must give Jrigh priority to its educational system. The needs of the country today cannot be met by schools adequate only for the demands of yesterday. The quality of teachers and buildings must be commensurate with education’s heightened responsibility.” * Bernard Baruch, President Truman, and other national leaders have also made strong and im< See TEACHING, page 8.)

The men tried to force Mr. Atkins into driving them in his pick-up truck iidto t#»e town (of Washington. When he refused, he was badly beaten by the men who also drew a knife on iMr. Atkins. In the struggle, as Atkins tried to take the knife from the men, he received a badly cut finger. Hearing someone approaching the store, the men ran out the back entrance, leaving no trace. Blood hounds were called and they could track the men as far as the woods and there it ended. So far, there has been no identification of the strangers. --- Mrs. Alberta F.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mall matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:-$2.00 a year Frank Opinions— Former-President Herbert Hoover, at the Iowa State Fair, recently stated his views on our country’s dangers, (with emphasis on the moral decay and the lack of a sense of obligation among our government officials. Locally, G. Tyler Miller, president of Madison college, voiced some of these same sentiments recently in addressing the teachers of Warren and Rappahannock counties. Farmers in Rappahannock, and many other counties, became suspicious of a review being sent out by the agriculture department and expressed themselves accordingly. These opinions, frankly and openly voicing the short-comings of the government, are not cause for an expression of regret that they were spoken; the shame is that our ex-president, a college president, and the farmers think it necessary to speak. The fact that the evils exist is the shame of our nation. It is a disgrace that our country has reached the place where such criticism, can come from so many places at once. There have been always a certain number of evils existing. The government is humanly conceived and humanly executed, and that means a certain amount of error. It is not the error which concerns. Binr Harrison once stated that he had made mistakes but they had been mistakes of the head, never of the heart. In that case we have no fear. A few errors of the head are with all of us, but as long as we constantly strive toward the good and proper, there is no need for fear. These open criticisms of the government are condemning the errors of ijie heart—where there is moral decay among citizens who feel no obligation toward their fellowpian in administering the government for the good of all. - w--— A Time To Be Heard (From the FARM JOURNAL) i Every thoughtful American favors a defense program that will keep the U. S. free. The big defense job alone means high taxes. However, let’s leave that to one side. Let’s just look at the nondefense picture. The Federal non-military expenditures of our government in 1930 (were $2.7-billion. Last year they were $27.8-billion. Ten times as much! Was government ten times as useful to the people? And every dollar of taxes comes, one way or another, from the earnings of the people. The Administration has encouraged the illusion that heavier taxation will reduce the inflation. Thats’ the natural idea for the power-hungry politicians around Mr. Truman to adopt. They get to spend the tax money. They spend all they get and more. If taxes do not take it, people can spend it themselves, or save it. Can you explain why it causes inflation for you to spend a dollar you earn, but does not cause inflation if the government spends it? suppose you buy a pound of hamburger. Sure, that’s demand against the meat supply. Could be inflationary. Suppose you get a government job, and from your tax-paid salary buy a pound of hamburger. Is that less inflationary? If taxes were high enough so that the government took in as much as it now spends, more inflation would result. Why? Be= caue|» every one would try to raise his wages or prices to get enough extra money to pay his taxes, and to keep his take-home pay the same or better. More taxes are not the right answer to inflation. The right answer is fairer taxes and less spending, among other things, v No Administration voice is raised for less spending. We heard Secretary of the Treasury Snyder the other day insist that the people must be encouraged to be thrifty and buy bonds. He said not a word about encouraging the government to be thrifty. The Hoover Report towo years ago showed how $5.4-billion could be saved, just by improved government house-keeping. What happened? About *$ 2-billion’s worth of 800 definite suggestions were adopted by the last Congress. This Congress has adopted just one, and the other $8.0-billion still goes down the waste spout. Senator flyrd and other authorities eay that |8-billion to THE AMERICAN WAY I __- • -. - -- — ■ ' I JUST DON'T rtMfffcSOjft rf ' MV PUN 1»AV« tHOSp TteATMCNT^ SHOUlb make rr <seow Bent* hum eve<?/ , Economic Blights $ 10-billion can be cut out. Plainly, the government does not have to cost |27-billion for non-military services. But it will go on costing that much and more as long as spending gets more votes than saving. Those 'who never protest are always counted in favor of spending. How well does ^>e Administration know what it is doing? Last February President Truman said that the government iwould need $ 16-billion in new taxes to pay its way this year. In April Secretary Snyder thought $ 10-billion would do. Now ' the House hdh passed a politically designed bill for g7.2-billion—a bill that will encourage^inflation, reduce the incentive to work, and that is thoroughly unscientific. It is now before the Senate. The appropriations are still to come. Will the people get out their pens and pencils and tell Congress to stop throwing their money away? Elections are only 14 months away! Now is the time to be heard.—Farm Journal -W iiiiiiitiiiiiaiKMilitiiiiiiiii' | ‘The Time Hat Come/ the Walras said ... jiiiiminiim miMiium ’Twas a pretty good sentiment expressed by a young man in the county on Monday. “Labor Day, h-m-m.

There was a little cool spell last week, but we all recognized it. ’Twas that old cool spell that arrives just before the opening of school to get your mind set that fall is arriving and it’s time to get back to school-books. Then, just wait; as soon as the opening of school arrives, it gets hotter'n the regions beyond the Styx, and the poor children and teachers march off to the schools to sweat and labor. The children must endure the drowsiness of being cooped up in a hot room, after a summer of freedom and’ outdoors; they-ve got to stay dressed up all day and wear shoes; it is certain that many a hot day they will gladly give up in disgust— if they were allowed to— and resolve to grow up in ignorance, school just ain’t worth itl The teachers try—and they, too, have had a restful summer and are adjusting themselves to harness—to get something, pounded into the children’s 'heads. The children aren’t hard to please: they want a three-ring ciurcus all day long, and nuke- rt a good one. The children are willing to learn; that is, provided the teacher will hand it out in nice, pleasing, cheerful doses. Otherwise, the kids are going to sit like sweet little bumpson-a-log and stupidly gase at space; it’s too hot for them to jut out extra effort I had heard tell that the worli das fall of pessimists, bat there’) an optimist left in an adjoining county.

The women seemed to be encouraged Vivien Kellems’ success in Connecticut, and they explain that they refuse to pay because the tax is unconstitutional and therefore illegal, because it forces their helpers to pay for something they do. not want, and are not likely to get, and because it forces the employers into involuntary servitude by making them act as bookkeepers and collectors for the government without just compensation. People have done some talking, and a little private'growling about the new social security withholding on household help. “Now we are to tax baby-sitters, housemaids, wash women, girls who iron, the lawn-cutters and others Who help the busy housewife keep her household in order. You are expected to make regular reports on the earnings of your helpers under specified conditions, and it it up to you to find out what those conditions are. Then you must hold back part of their wages as a “withholding tax,’ add an equal amount to it, and pay it over to Mr. Snyder to pay back to the baby-sitter, et al, in their old age,” recites* one commentator. Figures are probably available, but it isn’t easy to locate themoffhand, as to exactly how many dollars it will cost to collect, handle, and pay each dollar of benefits, but there’s a slight chance that it will be more than the benefits to be received by that baby-sitter, or wash woman.

On the basis of both indexes, per capita collections and collections as a percentage of 1950 income payments to individuals, Virginia’s State tax collections were relatively lower than in over half of the other 47 states. “Collections as a percentage of income payments” means the equivalent portion of income payments to individuals that would be necessary to pay the total State tax bill. Per capita collections of State taxes in Virginia amounted to $48.83 (while the average for all 48 states was $59.59.

Parents’ ,* i j£.* «' h -vJL Problems ly DONALD M. MAYNARD Self Defense How can one help children to team not to “hit hack' when someone does them horn? I wonder if we really want oar children to get- to the plpce where they never “hit back” when someone picks on them. Surely there are tinea when we want our children to defend themselves, even though to do ao may mean a fight And let’s not assume that because a child fights a bully on the playground he ia going to develop into a rabid militarist, It does something to one’s character to submit meekly to injustice or to permit oneself to be run over. A young man said to his father, “Dad, when I have children. I’m not going to teach them never to fight, as you Should you teach “sweeti*ss and light”? Send a postcard to Donald M. Maynard, 810 Broadway, Nashville 2, Tennessee, for a free copy of his booklet, Your Child Today, discussing the problem. have taught me. All during my boyhood, I’ve felt uncomfortable and insecure because 1 knew you expected me never to, fight. I'm not gs strong a person as 1 would have been had 1 been free to defend myself.” Although we may not prohibit our children from fighting, we do want them to realise that most difficulties can be settled without recourse to fighting. Sometimes we can act as arbiter in a situation in which one person feels he is not being treated fairly. (But let us guard against making “tattle-tales” out of our children. We can suggest compromises that may be made. We can emphasize good sports-manship and the importance of taking turns. We can 'help them realize that sometimes those who harm them do so because they do not know any better, or because they have never had a chance to learn how to get along.with others. With these, let them experiment in returning good for evil and note the effect it has on the other fellow. Note that whereas not fighting because of fear indicates weakness of character, refusing to fight because of a desire to settle a dispute more intelligently indicates strength. “Johimy Does It . . Often when I reprove my title boy for some act he will retort, “Johnny does it, and I don't see why I can’t!*’ How can I help him overcome little faults without his feeling that l am unfair and “different from other mothertT? You scarcely can expect your son to rejoice when you reprove him and it i* quite to be expected that he should rationalize hit behavior as he does. ( Nevertheless, there is a sense of security that comes to him as he realises that you really are concerned about his behavior and eager to help him do that which is right. It is a strange paradox that a child both objects to and gets satisfactions out of the admonitions of his parents. He does, that is, if he feels they are fair and honest with him. The following are suggestions for creating this feeling: 1. Make certain that the behavior you object to really is objectionable before you reprove him. Unfortunately, parents sometimes jump to conclusions and reprove them when they would not have done so had they understood the reasons for the behavior. 2. Help him realise that he belongs to a family that has high standards of behavior and encourage him to take pride ip tbe fact. Although you do not want him to feel that your family is better than others, you do want him to think of it as being as good as the best and to take pride in upholding its standards. 8. Be sure that you are not nagging your child; give approval for behavior that is desirable; have good times together as a family; be firm, patient, and understanding; be sore in your own mind that you always are faflfcnnd you need not woiTy about his objections to your admonitions. Spending and Saving My little girl has a weekly allowance of fifty cents. She likes to buy a lot of five-and-ten-cent-store “trash,” which is usually broken and discarded in a few days. Should I persuade her to save a part of her allowance until she can buy something worth while, or tdlow her to spend it all as she wishes, since it is her own money? You are correct in assuming that your daughter's allowance is hers to spend as she will. This does not mean, however, that you should not use your persuasive powers in an effort to get her to spend at least a part of it wisely or to save some of it for future purchases. Many parents have found that the tencent store affords an excellent opportunity for teaching children these values. The first time the child goes to the ten-cent store, he is likely to buy the first thing he sees that he wants. Wise parents will then take him to other counters where there are more desirable toys. The child wants them, too, but he can’t get them because he has spent' his allowance. The next trip to the store, he is likely to buy a bit less hastily. He begins to buy with some discrimination. But again, if children have too much allowance, they do not see the need foi this careful buying. It may be that your daughter’s allowance of fifty cents is more than die should have.

IN MEMORIAM In fond and loving remembrance of our dear mother, Mrs. Richard Racer, whom God called to Heaven nine years ago, September 3, 1942. . Mother dear, your name iwe love, ’Twas given you by God above. Although nine years you’ve been away, We miss you more and more each day. So gentle in manner, so patient in pain; Our dear one left us for Heaven to gain. With nature so gentle and actions so kind. What a wonderful memory you left behind. Sometimes when our hearts grow weary, Or our tasks seem very long, When our burdens look too heavy, Or we deem the right all wrong, Then we gain a fresh new courage As we rise to proudly say: Let us do our duty nobly, That was our Mother’s way. Thus iwe keep her memory precious, While we never cease to pray, That at last when lengthening shadows Mark the evening o life’s day, They may find us waiting calmly To go our Mother’s way. ltc By her loving children. -W Resolutions It is with deep sorrow, and a sense of irreparable loss that we record the passing of our loyal and faithful member, Ethel Lee Jenkins. She is sorely missed in our Ladies Bible Class, as well as the Washington Baptist Church and in the whole community. We, the members of the Ladies Bible Class extend our heartfelt sympathy to her loved ones. Now, therefore, be it resolved: FIRST—That we humbly acknowledge Cod’s way as the right way. That our loss is her gain. SECOND—That we extend to her family our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy and pray God’s richest blessings upon them. THIRD—That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family and a copy to the Rappahannock News. ■ “God sometimes calls those servants home. Whose years are in their prime, But He has better measures than The pendulum o time; The workers quickly do their task Of service and of love, So their promotion early comes To higher work above. God loves them and He spares them much, Not theirs to wait alone, And feel the ache of useless years, With strength and vigor gone. They are not stranded derelicts, While tides go rushing by; They do their part and win the race, And then they gently die. Not theirs to lift the fading eyes And find no comrades left, Not theirs to dwell among the graves, Forsaken and bereft; They pass from work to better work, , And rest before the noon . . . Ah! God is good to them, They do not die too soon.” Mrs. John A. Keyser Mrs. J. Frank Jones Mrs. Lewis Turner Miss Ruby Jenkins Committee. n Resolutions The Board of Directors of The Rappahannock National Bank at a regular meeting on September 4, 1961 adopted the following resolutions: _.

Mmktrt * Stmt, Int. * Sportsmen who enjoy hunting should be considerate of the game warden. That long-suffering gent, who’s often not as popular with the hunter as he ought to be, is most important. Without game laws, and an efficient body of men to epforce them, game would grow alarmingly scarce and there'd oe mighty little hunting. A most effective method of preserving the grand sport of hunting, enjoyed by so many millions throughout the country .is to cooperate with the game warden and to realize that, in enforcing the laws, he’s working in the hunter’s interest ' •**. Another way is through vigilance lessness can destroy game, timber, property and human lives. That’s why experienced outdoorsmen make sure to snuff out matches and smokes completely. With open hunting grounds growing scarce, a good hiinter is always careful and considerate of the property on which he hunts. He should remember that farmers and property owners are “friendly hosts’* to the hunter who is thoughtful. To derive most fun out of hunting — and to get your quota of game—requires accurate shooting. There are thousands of active gun dubs in the U.S. with excellent facilities for improving your aim.

Your WATKINS Dealer Teaching (Continued from page 1.) pressive statements concerning the essential role of our schools in preserving our Nation. These leaders are speaking with sincerity, knowledge, and insight concerning the welfare of our country. Such declarations cannot be lightly shrugged aside as irresponsible or uninformed. They should also give us renewed strength and faith to face the tasks ahead in doing our, part in educating the children and youth of our land for the momentous citisenship responsibilities they must assume. They should cause us as teachers to overlook some of the unjust and warping criti cisms now being leveled at thef schools by enemies of public education, although we should always be ready to evaluate and accept just criticisms by well meaning citizens who are genuinely desirous of seeing the schools improved. The pupils in your classrooms are affected in one iway or another by the stream of current events; therefore, the confusion and trouble abroad in the world must necessarily leave their imprint upon their lives. With good cause, young peoples everywhere are concerned about the future'. Of one thing, however, I believe we can be certain—the solution of the problems which confront us in our State, in our Nation, and in the world j of freedomloving people will depend to a greater extent than ever before on decisions reached by intelligent and educated persons of high integrity and Christian morality. The preparation for the type of leadership which will help solve our tnany complicated problems is the most important responsibility today of our schools, colleges, and universities. As teachers in the public schools, you have a real contribution to make in meeting this challenge of fulfilling your obligation to the children and youth you teach. Through doing an effective job of teaching in your own schools and classrooms, you can take pride in the contribution you will make in helping to save civilization. At a time like this, I am sure many of you may wonder also what we, as individuals, can do to help save civilisation. When someone asked George Bernard Shaw, during World War II, what ho was doing to save civilisation, he replied, “I am the civilisation you aPe trying to save." Thus, with this bit of humor, he emphasised the point that, to trying to preserve our way of life, it is short-sighted to overlook the things that constitute that way of life. Let us ask ourselves: what are we trying to save? If several hundred intelligent persons prepared lists of the moat important attributes of our American wap of life, perhaps no two of them would he alike. Nevertheless, I am sure that, on every list, in one form or another, three fundamental rights would be included: (1) the right to believe in God and to shape our lives in accordance (with the teachings of Christ; f2) the right to practice individual initiative — to start from where we are and advance as far as our abilities will permit us; and (3) the right to have the best education we can get—to prepare ourselves to meet potential leadership responsibilities. These priceless rights carry with them a two-fold obligation for each of us—the obligation to try to make it possible for others to share these rights, and to help others appreciate them. Events, headlined in our newspapers, and broadcast by radio and television in most dramatic fashion, reveal how woefully we have failed to meet this obligation;. Sometimes we wonder if our Nation has become morally ill and degenerate. However, in our hearts, each of us should feel to some degree responsible for the lack of Christian ethics on the part of many of our American citizens. This moral degeneration is also having its effect upon our national courage. John Foster Dulles soberly appraises our situation in the following well chosen words.” “Something has gone wrong with our Nation, or we would not be in our present plight and mood. It is not like us to be oil the defensive and to be fearful. This is new in our history . . . What we lack is dynamic faith. Without it all else avails us little. The lack cannot be compensated for by politicians, however able; or by diplomats, however astute; or by -scientists, however inventive; or by bombs, however powerful . . . Our greatest need is to regain confidence, in our spiritual heritage.” We also need to realize what it means to 'be free Americans— that we should not only be concerned for our freedoms, but also about Our duties and obligations in preserving our democracy. To you as teachers of children in our public schools, I would like to propose four duties and’obliby all who accept the privileges, rights, and freedoms of our democracy, I hope that, by precept and example, you will strive to impress upon those whom yoti teach that these are important responsibilities of good citizenship: I. The Obligation to Think An important obligation of every citizen is to develop the ability to think for himself. The intelligence of the government in a democracy depends upon the to. tal intelligence of all the people. If only a few do the thinking, we have no democracy^ It is the duty of every citizen to keep himself informed on ail the issues of the day. And, in these times, it is especially important to have the ability to distinguish between fact and fancy,, between truthful reportsand false propaganda. Therefore, decisions should be withheld by the good citizen on every issue until he has renewed all available sources of information — radio, newspapers, expert opinions, and reactions of persons of average intelligence. Upon securing sufficient information on every side of the question, a conclusion should be reached after exercise of our best judgment. We should be able to justify our conclusions to others but most important of all to our own consciences. Although one's convictions should be courageously defended, there should be willingness to revise an opinion •when additional information and further thought warrant it. I believe it is undeniably true that an important obligation of every citizen is to think for himself and to use his best thinking in discharging his responsibilities as a citizen. 2. The Obligation to Work Every citizen has an obligation to work. Self preservation, regardless of citizenship, demands that every able-bodied man shall work for his own support, the support of his family, and for security in old age. The penalty for violation of this principle, through the years, has been personal poverty and discomfort. No citizen has a right to assume that his government, his community, or his family, owes him a living. As a good citizen, every person has the responsibility to try to find for himself the occupation for which his aptitudes and abilities are best suited and to work in it to his full canacitv. Good citizenship is active, aggressive, constructive —r a fulltime job for all of us. 3. The Obligation to Respect Another obligation of a good citizen is to respect. Tolerance of other people is easy, but it is more difficult to respect people of other rates and creeds or walks ii life to the extent that one is wjjiitg to allow them nil the privileges be himself enjoys. Genuine respect for the opin- ' ions, rights, and actions of others is not always easy, but is essential in a democracy which includes persons of all races, colors, creeds, and backgrounds. "to vote is the obligation of every citizen. We express our opinions by voting. It is in this way that we make democracy work and the right to vote our own convictions is the essential difference between a democracy and a dictatorship. Too many people regard too . lightly this privilege and obligation of citizenship. Evidence of this is reflected by the failure of thousands of qualified voters over a period of many years to exercise the privilege of the ballot box in practically every Statewide election. In the last national election it is estimated that approximately 48 million American citizens failed in this citizenship responsibility. Yet some of these very people are the severest critics of governmental officials and legislative enacements, even though they failed to do something about what they opposed by failure to express themselves at the polls. i commend to you' these four particular obligations or duties of good citizenship because I sincerely believe that only through intelligent thinking, hard work, respect for others, and the exercise of the voting -privilege can we practice democracy in our everyday living whereby we can expect to preserve in a changing world those values inherent in our form of democracy. Finally, I would like to leave with you s e v e r a.l additional thoughts about the profession of teaching and twith them I shall conclude my talk. 1. Teachers themselves must develop a zeal and enthusiasm for teaching in order to raise the prestige of teaching and secure the respect of young people for teaching as a profession. 2. Teachers must have a proper pride in their profession if they expect others to regard it highly. They should indicate by word and by action that they have no regrets about becoming teachers, or else they must expect others to consider teaching a mediocre or a “.second-rate” occupation. 3. Teachers must continuously exert conscientious and earnest effort, and through dynamic leadership should influence young persons of superior ability to become teachers. , . the teacher supply is undoubtedly the monetary reward; however, there are many satisfactions in teaching which cannot be measured in _ financial returns. These should not be overlooked when considering the advantages of teaching as a profession. Some of these satisfactions were mentioned in an editorial of the October 15147 issue of the Virginia Journal of Education, which I quote: “Because once a reasonable amount of security is provided, teachers are highly privileged. They live in an atomaphere which stimulates the mind and enlarges the spirit: The gratification that cornea to them from knowing the contribution that they are making toward enabling omen to live rich, full lives is great Thein is the greatest opportunity, with the possible exception of the ministry, to raise our culture and our civilization!”
