The third firm, Phele & Lesser has taken in $233.100 from foreign governments since 1947, "the bulk of it from Communist nations," ac- cording to the Register. Both of these men are former government] employees. Even General France, who has treated U. S. military representa- tives in Spain in an insulting man- ner, has paid $75,000 to get in on the U. S. gravy train. Dr. Will Durant said in Mt. Vernon recently that the Mar- shall plan had made the rich in Europe richer, the poor poor- er and increased the appeal of eommunimn. Apparently it has m a d e s o m e rich"foreign agents" in the U. S. The many taxpayers interested in economy might find it effective to use the same methods to reduce government spending that the na- tions do who want U.S. funds. That would be to hire some former gov- ernment employees, who know the l ropes, and pay them a fat fee tel use their influence to reduce gov- ernment spending instead of in- creasing it. Might Mention Florence Hoidahl Can almost smell the turkey in the oven, the sweet potatoes and the] pumpkin pie. Ten years ago F.D.R t bowed out on declaring the date of Thanksgiving as Congress offi- cially designated the 4th Thursday} as the holiday. "My friend" nearly set off a revo- I lution two years earlier, you recall, t by proclaiming the 3rd ThursdayI as the holiday, in order to accom- modate businessmen who wanted ai longer shopping season between holidays. Some states set their own dates. Thus if one traveled fast and often enough he had quite a run- ning festival that year. No one has ever blamed anyone but the president for the confusion. Few ever realized that the date of this special day fluctuated for years with the whims of states and other presidents. It took a century to get it established. The Pilgrims had their first f~t~- val in 1621. The Massachus~t~'~ ~,:'.' colony had its first in 16.~. but it didn't become annual uctil in 1680. Connecticut first celel~rated in 1639. and annually after 1647, excerpt for 1675, when it skipped. Th~ Dutch in New York hod their initial ob. servance in 1644 a:~d occasio~a!ly thereafter. The Continental Congress declar- ed occasional days of thanksgivin~ during the Revolution. Pres':den~ Washington declared a national holi- day Nov. 26, 1789, and another in 1795. Lincoln fixed it as the last Thursday in November in 1864. Other presidents followed his choice. But now it's settled and along with enjoying its sociability and good living let us hope we remem- ber that it has a deeper and more significant meaning. We have a little turkey problem picked up recently: A flock of turkeys are in a pen, with a fence dividing the flock. If one turkey with a great flapping of wings manages to get over from the left side of the fence to the right side, there will be the same number on each side. If, however. a turkey vaults over the fence from the right side to the left side, the left side will have twice as many turkeys as the right side. How many turkeys on each side in the first place? Arithmetic has always eluded me. For correct answer consult Roy Bowman. The steering committee working on the school problems in town deserves a great deal of credit for their interest and endeavors. They also deserve the support of every citizen. Theirs is an investigation system, doing the red tape work of learning what the school needs. what the public wants, what other communities have done, what solu- tlons found elsewhere might fit our local situation. The small group named at the public session had our work thrown into their laps. It is our children about which we are concerned, our money, our schools, not just theirs. No one jumps up and volunteers for these Jobs. Some one nominates some one else. It is in a way a tribute but it is also a responsibillty and the persons nominated would be criticized if they fumbled around for alibis to exctu~ them. This group has been meeting hour after hour. If they are to do the bdob well they must forego social rifles and other engagenumts that conflict with committee sessions little snake come from that came through the hydrant into Mrs. Hale's teakettle and was cooked and poured into Mr. Hale's teacup this summer?"

He was a member ananl, aucator i lowing [of the party to Mexico in 1950. "Education should preserve the! best of the past and lead to crea-i tion of the new on the foundationRALPH SEZ: of the past," said Dr. Haridas Mu-! zumdar, in speaking to the AAUW members last Wednesday evening, i Dr. Muzumdar based his informal' talk on a portion of his new book on Gandhi which will be publish- ed next year by Scribners This~ book will be a biography of the~ great leader's ideas, their origins! and their impact upon the 20th century, says the author. "Because the Mahatma was so great in the political field people neglect the contributions he has made in the educational field," commented Dr. Muzumdar, who rates Gandhi as one of the greatest of pedagogues. "He was a great educator because of his sensitivity to the plight of the underprivileged children of the untouchables . . . To Gandhi the law of truth and that of love were intertwined. The former could best be understood through the love of little children." The speaker holds that it is crim- inal to stunt the growth of a child by limiting him to what he learns from his text books But greater education than this demands dy- namic and inspired teachers whose aim is to perpetuate the values in- herent in the culture of which the child is a part. "The main business of educa- tion according to Gandhi is char- acter building--the making of men --the mastery of min~ over pas- sions. The 'freedom' toward which it should strive is a capacity to im- pose restraint upon oneself," says this friend of the late leader. "Gandhi's idea of education in- cluded not only the development of the body, mind and intellect but also of the soul. This spirituality might be called the education of the heart " I Applying this concretely, Dr. Mu- i zumdar challenged, "When you read to a child see that the content is of the highest quality. You can read about a man named Jesus as well as about one named Smith who robbed a bank. You need not steer away from words like God, soul, non-violence. T o o m u c h reading today is empty." And aiming directly at parents, in case they forget they also are teachers, Dr. Muzumdar conclud- ed, "We are not going to solve the problems of the world or of educa- tion by putting the child into school when he is seven. By that time the child's pattern is already formed." Miss Elizabeth Isaacs was hostess to the membership that evening, assisted by Mrs. Mark Hutchinson during the social hour.
