The Bulletin Editorial Page B-6—Anaheim (Col.) Bulletin Friday, April 24, 1938 The 12-Month Plan Public schools open 12 months per year. There is an excellent chance that all of us will see the day that this "radical change" will become accepted routine. The plan is not new, in fact it is being practiced in some cities in the United States now, with great success. One of the outstanding Universities located in California has been on this program since its founding, Stanford University at Palo Alto. Most of the schools on the European continents operate on a 12-month schedule and our public schools have found that students transferring here have been exceptionally well schooled for their actual years of training. Parents and those interested in public education should not view the prospect as the lesser of two evils, that of the possibility of diminished education or forced double sessions due to growth, but as a logical economical approach to a staggering problem. It is not a program that could be adopted overnight. Extensive research and planning must be completed prior to any acceptance. And it would seem more logical to insure its success, if it were placed into operation on a state-wide level including the upper division schools, junior colleges, colleges and universities. The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce has instituted a study on the program to be completed, initially, by the end of this year. Members have requested that their action be forwarded to all Chambers within the immediate area to inform them of the thinking of this advance planning group.

Through the better use of existing facilities and the elimination of the need for the acquisition of additional luxuriant facilities, we can guarantee the continued offering of "free" public education to our children. Unless this is accomplished, spiraling costs may eliminate the basis for our democracy and return us to the education of only the wealthy. The Lighter Side by Frank Eleazer WASHINGTON (UPI)—Our first man in space will be 100 miles up, all alone, and hurting around the world at 18,000 miles an hour. It is hopefully assumed he will be feeling fine, sitting up, and admiring the scenery. What the member of the House Space Committee wanted to know though was what he will do for a doctor in event he comes down with a pain? Well, one thing is certain from the answer they got. He won't have to sit around and wait for an appointment. In the first place, the witnesses said, from 10 to 14 radio-telephone stations will be set up around the world on his route. Every quarter-hour on his east-to-west orbit our space boy will pass over another of these. Quick Diagnosis During at least 10 minutes out of each 15 he will be able to talk back and forth with the ground. At each phone will be stationed a doctor, constantly reading reports, automatically recorded and broadcast to earth, on the patient's blood pressure, respiration, and jitters, if any. The medics, the witnesses said, can talk not only to the spaceman but to each other. Say our astronaut comes down with a terrible twinge in his skull. If the doctors don't know about this already, from their charts and all, he will tell them, and they will diagnose it at once. Rep. Victor Anfuo (D - N. Y.) said what about a more serious ailment? He said suppose the spaceman fell unconscious, from the fast takeoff or the weightless state that is one of the hazards of travel in space? Then he wouldn't be able to tell the doctors his trouble. The medics will know this on their own, the witnesses said. And, just like at home apparently, if his condition is bad, they will operate, though not exactly on the patient himself. Fall In Russia? What they will do in this case is trigger the handy reverse rocket on the space traveler's capsule, and bring him down pronto at the first handy recovery spot. Rep. James G. Fulton (R-Pa.) said he hoped our space boy wouldn't have occasion to land on either the desert, the mountains, the jungles or the plains that line his route over Africa. The experts said they were sure this wouldn't happen. Chairman Overton Brooks (D-La.) said one thing was sure. Our astronaut won't have to land in either Russia or Red China, since his orbit has been routed around them. Fulton asked why this was so. The space agency experts said they decided things would be simpler this way. They said if anybody is going to bring our space man down ahead of schedule, they want to be certain it's us.

You are quick to make up your mind and as speedy to act. You will cut corners wherever possible to get into action. Since you are not one to take advice, you work hard to get your own way and to follow out your own ideas explicitly. You are a great one to experiment. Let a new idea be tossed into your lap for testing, and you could never be happier! While you men may exhaust your energies in developing new ideas, you of the fair sex are more inclined to dream away your life, building castles in the air. You are very romantic and might fall in love at first sight. You would do well to select someone whose temperament fits your own. You have a magnetic personality that attracts people into your orbit without your making any apparent effort to influence them — yet influence them, you do! You have a good head for business and will probably prosper financially. You seem to recognize at once a good paying proposition. Your major interests, however, are intellectual and cultural and you will be happiest if you cultivate both sides of your personality. Among those born on this date are: Adolph Lorenz, noted Austrian surgeon; Anthony Trollope, author; Cyril Maude, actor; Sir Stafford Cripps, statesman; Thomas Addis Emmet, Irish Patriot. To find what the stars have in store for you tomorrow, select your birthday star and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. Saturday, April 25 TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 21) — You can take a calculated risk now and be assured that you will succeed. Farmer McCabe Friend of mine told me he used to get into a few disagreements with the little woman and every time he did, why she'd grab her purse and light out for town where she shopped and shopped until she spent every last cent she had. So now they don't argue any more, he says, because on their budget, they just can't afford it... Now, it seems to me that there's a good lesson here somewheres. Farmer McCabe (all rights reserved) Assignment: Washington by Ed Koterba WASHINGTON — The chic lovely lady under the white bonnet was introduced at the head table as an ambassador. I thought maybe she was Cuba's ambassadress of admiration the way she wouldn't take her admiring gaze off the bearded one at the speaking stand. No boss in my memory ever commanded such unstinted attention. Teresa Casuso was the beauteous damsel's name. She's Fidel Castro's ambassador of public relations. Not once in the full hour, that Dr. Castro stood there addressing the National Press Club aggregation did she take her big brown eyes off the man — except to light up a filter cigarette. But even more remarkable than this show of dogged devotion was the fact that Miss Casuso had broken the male barrier and gained entry to this inner sanctum. There had been other times when ladies graced our noontime tables, but those occasions have been rare, indeed. Still more unusual in these quarters where sex segregation is historic was the presence of two other lady reporters right there with the working press. The girls who surmounted the insurmountable obstacle were Ernestina Otero, Minister of Cuban Press, and Tony Sastre, who works for a Havana newspaper. FROM The Mail Box Dear Sir, Every day I pick up a magazine it seems someone else has a product which is supposed to prevent a receding hair line or actually restore your lost hair to some degree. A lot of these advertisers aren't as interested in preventing hair Saturday, April 25 TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 21) — You can take a calculated risk now and be assured that you will succeed. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) — If you can get away for the long week end, it would be a good thing. Build up your health reserves. CANCER (June 22-July 23) — Your outlook for future gains is now improved. Keep on the lookout for profit-taking. LEO (July 24-Aug. 23) — This can be a lively, productive day and you should plan to make the best use of it. VIRGO (Aug. 24-Sept. 23) — Hold to your major objective; let nothing interfere with your progress. LIBRA (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) — Perhaps you can take a trip this week end; combine business and pleasure for profit. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You can afford to take a calculated risk now. Deal with someone at a distance, cautiously. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 22) — The stars are now favorable to anything you undertake. Romantic interests are encouraged. CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-June 20) — Despite an undercurrent of unrest, this is your best day of the week. Take advantage of it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) — Others may be slowed up, but not you. This can prove to be your best day of the month so far. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) — Legal matters involving money should bring favorable results and in- Still more unusual in these quarters where sex segregation is historic was the presence of two other lady reporters right there with the working press. The girls who surmounted the insurmountable obstacle were Ernestina Otero, Minister of Cuban Press, and Tonia Sastre, who works for a Havana newspaper. Our own capital ladies of the press, who long have suffered the cause of equal rights at the men's club, covered Dr. Castro from up in the gallery, where no lunch was served. But Dr. Castro did prove his friendship to the press. When Bill Lawrence, our president, asked the Cuban reporters to stand, 30 assorted gentlemen rose as one. The Cuban revolutionary seemed unabashed facing all us intellectuals. But I did notice he carried a Spanish - English dictionary under his arm. But he never used it. When he got stuck on a word, he turned to his four interpreters and whispered the elusive word in Spanish. Sometimes a U.S. reporter in the audience yelled out the answer. The man had an answer for everything. But, then, a question was sent up, in levity, asking: Did Castro turn down an offer to play with the Washington Senators, or did they turn him down? For a full minute, those interpreters huddled around their leader, scratching heads. It must have been the word, Senators, that floored them. Finally, Dr. Castro stepped forward: "This is baseball?" he said. Yes, he played the game, and then he said, pulling himself to his full height: "I am a pitcher — not a catcher." For the five days he made the rounds here, our policemen were doing double duty guarding him. Dear Sir, Every day I pick up a magazine it seems someone else has a product which is supposed to prevent a receding hair line or actually restore your lost hair to some degree. A lot of these advertisers aren't as interested in preventing hair loss as they are in obtaining your hard earned money. Being, that I myself, fall into the category of having thinning hair and will grab at anything at all that is offered to prevent it or even restore some of it has made me quite susceptible to such advertising. I feel quite certain many, many others of us fall into this category. In an effort to be of service to the American people, by finding out actually what can and what cannot be done, I plan to publish a book on thinning hair and baldness containing actual facts, case histories, statistics and ideas acquired from the American public as well as from Doctors and other sources. You can also aid if you yourself have tried something for your hair which proved to be successful, or was unsuccessful, by writing a brief summary of what you did and the results you obtained plus any other ideas you might have and sending them to A. M. Murphy, Inc., 111 Hill Road, Virginia Beach, Virginia. If your summary is published you will receive a free copy of the book when it is published. If your summary adds to the statistics of the book a summary of some of the important facts revealed about thinning hair and baldness in the book will be sent to you at no cost. LET'S HEAR FROM YOU! A. M. Murphy Capitol Dispatch by David Lawrence WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Herter passed with flying colors his first examination. He handled with tact and skill the discussion of current problems with members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He revealed, moreover, that he has learned well the complex issues of foreign policy as they relate to national defense. For he reflected accurately the decisions of the National Security Council and particularly stressed the same points that have recently been made to Congress by Defense Secretary McElroy. Anyone reading the transcript of the hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that preceded the unanimous vote of the Senate itself, confirming the nomination of Mr. Herter to be Secretary of State, must have been impressed with his agility as well as frankness in answering questions and, above all, with his basic knowledge of American foreign policy as developed in recent years by Secretary Dulles with the support of President Eisenhower. First there was the question of how a war might break out. Senator Morse, Democrat, of Oregon asked: "Let's assume that in the Berlin crisis, with the Russians buzzing American airplanes above the 10,000-foot level, that some trigger happy Russian, either by orders or disobedience of orders or conceivably by accident, shot down one of those planes, would you consider that an act of war on the part of Russia against the United States?" "Not necessarily, Senator," was the reply. "I think that there is always a factor of the accidental or incidental event that can take with literally seconds from the point of view of our defenses... I can't conceive of the President of the United States involving us in all-out nuclear war unless the facts showed clearly that we are in danger of devastation ourselves or that actual moves have been made towards devastating ourselves." This is the clearest statement yet made of the American point of view toward what has been called "pre-emptive war"—that it is prompt resistance to any massive movement of a hostile nature aimed at our territory or the territory of our 14 allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Mr. Herter exhibited also a detailed knowledge of what led up to the current crisis over Berlin and showed sympathy for the idea of letting the United Nations take up the problem if the forthcoming Foreign Ministers' Conference does not reach tangible results and if some good purpose could be served by further explorations through the efforts of the Secretary-general of the UN. Altogether, it was a creditable performance for Secretary Herter and one that won the confidence of the members of Congress, where he is personally known to many Senators because he served in the House with them for several years. They all joined in tributes to him, and it does look as if the new Secretary will get along well with Congressional committees. (Copyright, 1959, New York Herald Tribune Inc.) "Let's assume that in the Berlin crisis, with the Russians buzzing American airplanes above the 10,000-foot level, that some trigger-happy Russian, either by orders or disobedience of orders or conceivably by accident, shot down one of those planes, would you consider that an act of war on the part of Russia against the United States?" "Not necessarily, Senator," was the reply. "I think that there is always a factor of the accidental or incidental event that can take place through miscalculation, misjudgment on one side or another." Secretary Herter added that he felt sure "the Russians are realistic enough" not to want nuclear war any more than we do. Senator Morse said, however, he prays the Russians are realistic, too, but "sometimes we get a little discouraged when we realize that their leaders apparently don't pray and in the absence of that kind of moral basis for their philosophy, sometimes I wonder whether we can rely upon their not following a warlike course of action under such circumstances." Secretary Herter declared, in answer to another question, that, if the Russians did deliberately shoot down our planes, he would consider it "an overt act of war," and the facts would in due course be laid before the Congress for a discussion of whether or not a declaration of war should issue. "The only reservation," he added, "that I would put on that would be if on the other side we had actually seen in the scopes (radar screen) attacking planes or missiles that would require instant retaliatory power on our part." "We all agree," said Senator Morse, "that that would go to the Commander-in-Chief, who has that power to exercise." Secretary Herter, in response to another inquiry, stated that the President would be authorized to order the military forces to proceed with a nuclear war "if it were essential to our defense." He explained why the President couldn't consult Congress beforehand: "It is only a matter of the time element where today we are deal- he is personally known to many Senators because he served in the House with them for several years. They all joined in tributes to him, and it does look as if the new Secretary will get along well with Congressional committees. (Copyright, 1959, New York Herald Tribune Inc.)" THE Family Scrapbook How Much Help? The other night in a large class in Family Relations, I invited a group of students from other countries to give us their impressions of certain aspects of American family life. Almost the first thing mentioned was their feeling that American youngsters don't give their mothers a hand with household tasks. They said American youngsters seem to expect her to do all the work while they either play, study or otherwise occupy themselves. Surely, this kind of behavior can be found in some homes but we do have some "scientific" evidence that it isn't true in a selection of middle-class families at least. A research team at the University of Michigan queried 450 boys and girls in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grades about what they did in the home. Seven out of ten of them claimed that they helped with housecleaning and dusting, weeding and planting, took turns at carrying out the garbage, shopping and mowing the lawn. Four out of ten take care of younger brothers and sisters, help get breakfast and wash the car. Like so many other things, we can't say with complete assurance that in American families, children as a whole do their share of the work. But such studies as that made at Michigan as well as one's observation make it seem pretty likely that this is the case. (Copyright, 1959, United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1.
