DROPPING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL It has been estimated that almost half of the young people in high school will never graduate. During these times of relatively high employment, it is shocking that nearly half of the young people in high school will give up their opportunity to get a diploma. Why is it that many young people are merely mark- ing time in school until they are old enough to drop out of school under the state law? Why are so many young people anxious to take the first job that comes along al- though it may be entirely unsuited to their abilities and personality? The parents, school teachers, and church leaders must intensify their efforts in guiding children who fail to sense the need for a high school education. It is impor- tant that pupils are given the opportunity to take courses for which they are best suited. It should also be brought to their attention that employers generally are not going to put quitters in responsible positions. The year or two that it takes to finish high school may seem like a lifetime to a teenager but a little self- discipline during this period will, in most cases, pay off |. ain futwre/ happipess apd earningyability, Learning selfdis- |; ; cipline, learning to give up immediate pleasures for long BS) ‘range happiness, is probably a lot more important to one’s future success than is the additional education that} one gets by remaining in school. Sometimes a man has to be a Christian to weather a sermon. Accidents are preventable but most Americans act otherwise. Waiting for a visitor is one of the more tiresome ways of wasting time. We know of nothing mere futile than to argue with an emotional man about his religion, If you haven't taken any exercise {n the last few years you might get in the next good marbie game you see and work up from here. Each election year at this time the politicians con-! vince us that they alone can save us from worse fates | than those which have overtaken us since the last election.

The island lies 10 miles off France opposite the summer vaca tion spot of Le Lavandou. I took boat ride over You do see nudists. As the boat comes in to the small dock, the nudists come running out from among the trees and rocks and help the passengers ashore. A big | brown male nude gave me a friendly hand across the gap be- tween the boat and the whari. The men are more nude than the women. The children are nudest of all—right spanking nude. The men wear a covering about the size of @ folded pocket handkerchief, say five or six inches square. It see to be enough. Some women wear halters but most let their bregsts | enjoy the fine cooling touch of the sea breezes and the warm rays of a sun which shines 300 days a year. Elsewhere the women wear about the smallest bathing suits you ever saw “3 One young lassie of about 24 summers strolled by us, all golden brown, or almost all.

He operates with a smooth tongue instead of a gun, he rarely is strung from a gallows as some think he. deserves, and yet every year he walks away scot- jfree with millions. Who is this bold rascal? Well, if you are able to read, it is probably you—the ordinary book thief. “But I’m not a vook thief,” you protest. ‘Why, I never stole a book in my life.” Oh, yes you did. If you go in- spect your books right now, the chances are that you'll find a book that says “Stolen from the library of .” And the name written therein won't be your own. “But I didn’t really steal it—I only borrowed it!” you say, and add, “‘ — And 1 certainly intend to return it.” Maybe. But you probably have had it for years. You are holding this valuable property against the real owner’s will—of course he | wanted it back long ago—and if | that isn’t thievery, what is it? He could go to court about it, but among book lovers there is a tolerant recognition of human frail- ty and a general live-and-let-live policy. And of course each knows the other fellow may break down | sometime and buy a book worth | borrowing himself. | The true professional book thief is a scoundrel who steals precious volumes only t6 barter these p1 less products of the human spirit ; ‘for filthy cash. He is beneath the | contempt of murderers, and stands | alone in the very sewer of crime. There is also the occasional klep- tomaniae who has such a compul- sion to take what doesn’t belong to him that he will rent a $10 otel room just for a chance to lift ‘a Gideon Bible. But most of America’s millions of book thieves are happy ama- | teurs, who prefer to be known as long-term borrowers.” And this softer term is often used by forgiv- | ing librarians whé know how hard it is for some patrons to bring | back a book they are having a g love affair with. “We never say they are stolen,” | said a lady spokesman for the New | York Public Library. “We say the | people just forgot to return them. | “Sometimes they come back 25 | years late.” | Sometimes also they are mailed | back by the widews of the men | who checked them out years be- fore “for four weeks,” then held | them until death, | open library shelves are the ““How- | To-Do-Something” books, such as |“How To Become A Detective.” One with that title doesn’t have a ! | chance.

Most of the stores are already receiving shipments of Christmas toys and are selling them on a lay- away plan. The merchants I’ve talked to say that they expect a critical shortage of good, substan- tial merchandise this year though there will be-a lot of cheap imita- tions. Evidently the effects of the steel strike are still registering on the country’s economy. It won’t seem like Christmas to many families because their sons are either over in Korea or Ger- many, or are training to go to 3 these places. Knowing servicemen, I imagine our sailors stationed lo- cally feel like they are in just as bad a “thell-hole” here in Key West as any GI in a Korean fox-hole. In the service there are only two good places -- the one you transfer- red from and the one you hope to ime ces are one, (whether you're in the servite or not), and that place is Home. Truman's Police Action Although news of the Korean con- flict is kept to a minimum, many folks feel that the so-called police action is one of the blackest marks Families with sons in the service are especially bitter. Not because the boys are fighting and dying but because there doesn’t seem to be any coordinated plans for ever bringing the war to a halt. The situation can’t be blamed on our Army, Navy, or Air Force lead- ers. Wars are fought by the vari- ous branches of the Service but they are planned and controlled by the gentlemen wearing silk hats and long-tailed coats. These are times when we need men with military minds to wear such silk hats and fancy coats.

Rotate the use of the burners or units of your range instead of using ne more than all the others. Wh hrough using the oven, leave the door ajar while it cools. This will allow moisture to escape and reduce the tendency to rust. To keep a range in good condition, it is important to keep all parts clean, free from greasy food particles.
