Reports from practically all points around the nation wham front store is set by the traditional portents smbolden us to predict that ws are on tha threshold of a ring-tailed peeler of a winter! Woolly bear adherents tell us these har bingers are HOfW appearing in force—in the heaviest overcoats Been in many a year. •aid to be on the verge of from overwork, and New Sngland to the Vir- _ ?Capei who repotted on the fatness of the season's first big bi-valves, are brac ing themselves for bitter cold work in the months ahead wKh an “R” in them. Well, all we have to say is that if a rough winter is ahead, the weather will have to taafce a iseiied change. This area has had, and is still having, the MtnaantttBl fell—weatherwise—that we’ve had hi many a year. Who ever hemrd of operating air-con- ditionig systems in the middle of Novem ber? That has been going on in Clinton all According to the findings of a survey released by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, businesses paid an average of $1,431 for fringe benefits for each employee in 1968. 'Hie benefits cov ered are of two types: (1) payments for vacations, holidays, sick leave and rest pe riods which are part of payroll, and (2) employer payments for social security and unemployment compensation taxes, work mans compensation, employee pension and insurance premiums, and the like which ere outside of payroll. THE AMERICAN WA Y The American Medical Association points out that OM King Cold is a king- sized trouble-maker. In a new pamphlet, it states that the common cold coats this aa- Uon $6 billion e year in lest warn test production and medical tipmapi MWe then 10 million people any given wintry day- meat, so for available, the odd virus. Any treatment should be di rected toward relief of the symptoms and prevention of complicatkms. Tempting Providence The Congress which recently ended cut administration appropriation requests for the current fiscal year by somewhat mote than $4 billion. But test anyone start cheering, addi tional figures are in order. Total appropriations came to $1042 bfl- bon. This was a record for any peacetime year. And it wee exceeded only twice—hi the years of 1942 and IMS when the World War n war effort waa at its peak. One wonders what to say about such spending -end the deficits it contianae to create—at a time when, with certain excep tions, the economy has been operating at record levels. What would happen if there were even s moderate letdown in that econ omy, to say nothing of a depression T The imagination strains at the thought This country's survival demands that the first order of business for next year's party-in-power should be a real effort to put the fiscal house in order. We can tempt Providence only so long—and then Providence violently reacts. Amen! What Would Happen? Some years ago, it waa proposed that a farm organization and a national union get together and form a gigantic food cooperative, integrated all the way from seed to supermarket. This, it was said, would provide a “yardstick” for measuring the prices charged by existing food retail ers, most particularly the food chains. The co-op would be financed by huge borrow ings from the federal government. Now it has been urged again. And, while it got nowhere in the peat and seems to have no chance of going anywhere in the foreseeable future, the potentialities de serve some close analysis. We have comparable “yardsticks” now —phony yardsticks. The Tennessee Valley Authority is the prime example. Its power is “cheap” because, and only because, it is free of most taxes and is given other spe cial privileges for which the taxpayers at large must pay. The food co-op would be similarly privileged. So something said by an organization which is made up of the food chains de serves wide reading: “What the yardstick theory ignores is the fact that it is taxes on the profits of the private sector of the' economy that allow us to have any ’public’ sector at ail. We hear, from time to time, learned arguments about what portion of a nation’s wealth should be devoted to the ‘public’ sector, and what portion to the ‘private’ sector. Yet the vital and seldom- grasped fact is that without a strong and growing and vigorous private sector, there can be no public sector at all, because it is the private sector, through taxes, that pays the bills.” Government—or some tax-free, tax- subsidized organization financed by govern ment—could provide anything and every thing “cheaper”. But what would happen when no one was left to pay the taxes to ' support the government? Babaon Dwcumm UNESCO By ROGEB W. BABSON Babson Park, Mass., November IB—One of the most valuable of the 14 agencies associated with the UN is UNESCO—the United Nations Educa tional, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. Its aim as expressed in its charter is “to con tribute to peace and security by promoting col laboration among the nations through education, science, and culture, in order to further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms which are affirmed and for the people of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language, or religion by the Charter of the United Nations.” UNIVERSAL EDUCATION The Universal Declaration of Human Bights asserts that everyone has the right to education. Yet half the world’s population cannot even read or write. To meet this challenge of illiteracy, UNESCO has undertaken major programs in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. The problem is not one that can he solved quickly. Before education of the illiterate can begin, teachers must be trained and schools con structed. Technical and vocational education is needed at all levels. Also, after one learns to read one has to have materials to road books, papers, pamphlets. UNESCO has planned a pro gram also to help solve this problem. It has sent out more than ZOO international specialists to work in national systems of education. NATURAL SCIENCES A nation’s economic, social, and cultural life is directly related to the level of its knowledge of the basic sciences—mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geology—and their applica tions Offices in Latin America, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia advise UNESCO of the scientific needs in the different regions. For example, the Intergovernmental Oceano graphic Commission Is advancing the knowledge of marine science. The Indian Ocean Expedition is a five-year venture for study of the world’s least-known ocean. SOCIAL SCIENCES ' The principal objectives of the programs in the field of the social sciences are to contribute to the social and economic development of coun tries, and to study and promote such legal, po litical, and economic aspects will lead to greater extension of human rights. UNESCO assigns social scientists to various areas, and also maintains research centers in South Asia and Latin America and a clearing house in Paris for exchange of information among member states of the United Nations. CULTURAL ACTIVITIES By encouraging members of all nations and of all races to know and understand one an other. this organization hopes to develop the spirit of peace among the various people of the world. It endeavors to cultivate an appreciation of the art and literature of the many nations by ex changing the cultural material of each nation with the others. mass communication The organization is also working to provide all possible means of communication among the pco- ple oi the underdeveloped countries. A group is now working on development of a low-price ra dio receiver for mass production and distribu tion. This would be particularly useful in regions where most of the people cannot read or write and where they will not he able to do so for a long time to come. Wherever radio and television are operative they can spread the messages of peace more quickly. INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE SERVICE Some 800 fellowships in education, science, and the arts have been granted in 186* and 1884. Opportunities are being provided for people in all walks of life to meet people in other countries. Grants are being made to workers in many fields to travel in other lands. The general purpose of all of UNESCO’s pro gram is to make the world a mors enlightened, better, safer, and mors peaceful place In which all peoples of the earth May Stories Behind Words * O __ mo ,n a o. rCBiMM Waterloo Napoleon I, emperor of France, was a for a num ber of yean master of most of Western Europe. In 1814 the combined forces of several European coun tries forced him to abdicate. Napoleon waa exiled to the Island of Elba off the coast of Italy. A year later, ha returned to France and his old soldien rallied around him. His return to power was short-lived, however. He was defeated on June 18,1816, at Waterloo, Belgium. Then he was exiled to the island of St. Helena, where died a few yean later In allusion to the battle of Waterloo, in which Na poleon met his final defeat, “Waterloo” is now used as a synonym for any decisive defeat see these two top-notch oppon ents clash.

Highlights From Clinton High This coming Tuesday night at 7:00 o’clock in Wilder Stadium, Clinton High School will observe an athletic first when junior and senior girls clash in a big Pow der Pufi event. Yes, a real foot ball game between two girls teams! Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Preparation for this Mg event began Monday when about thirty- five senior girls and thirty-five Junior girls reported for the first practice session. This first day’s agenda consisted mainly of learn ing a few offensive plays. Tues day, however, the girls really be gan training by doing calisthen- tics and running plays with both an offensive and a defensive team. From the groans heard around the halls of CHS this week, one might gather that this is turning out to be a real battle for the survival of the most fit! Senior coaches Binky Wingard, Don Hand back, J. W. Davis, and Tommy Copeland say that their t am seems to be in fine shape; but junior coaches Mike Sand ers, Darryl Godfrey and Gary ! aney say that they can match anything the seniors come up with. Who will actually win the game remains to be anyone’s guess. Football will not be the only entertainment on the field, how ever. Since the majorettes and cheerleaders will be playing foot ball, it was necessary for them to arrange some substitutes. Don ning the boots and batons will be Elbert Rice, Wayne Roland, Tom my Copeland, Mac Hiers, Jerry By CAROL SANDERS Forester, Frank Spoone, Rut Jacks and Butch Anderson. Substitute cheerleaders are: Carroll Sbealy, Horace Horton, Tommy Baldwin, Joel Whitsel, Zack Brown, Johnny Moore, Charlie Netties, Roger Miller, Mike Johnson, Charles Holland, Bill Bishop, Larry Fuller, Jimmy Lydia, Randy Rushton and War ren Goss. Admission to the game will be twenty-five cents for students and fifty cents for adults. Proceeds from the game will be used by Clinton High’s athletic depart ment to improve the tennis courts. We are hoping that every one in Clinton will come out to “Boy, Oh Boy, haven’t seen a DOG like that in TEARS!” And you haven’t seen a ser vice like ours in years either, until you come in and give us a try.
