Brace Yourself!
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

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. After all, you support
ed the Red Devils on to victory,
any why should you stop now?
Come on out and support the
Powder Puff teams!

its project for this year. The club
members sold vanilla and lemon

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.
