I
Many years ago I had a teacher who
tacked mottoes and proverbs on the class
room wall. She changed most of them peri
odically, but one slogan hung forever above
the blackboard. Big black letters said, “Don’t
be bitter. Work to make things better.” I
admit we made fun of her and I do not doubt
that she knew it.
However, reading it so many times must
have burned it into my brain because I no
longer merely remember it—l believe in it.
The Christophers have a slogan that puts it
this way: It is better to light one candle than
to curse the darkness.
That is the suggestion I have for the stu
dent who wrote and asked me, “Why is it
that our school is the same as when my
parents attended it? They pretend that it is
integrated but it is not. I do not believe in
segregation and neither do the other kids I
know.”
“Don’t be bitter” is about all I can say to
the woman from Kentucky who told me she
was invited by a ‘couples’ Sunday School
class to be their teacher. Later, after a
church board meeting, she was told she was
not qualified to hold the post. Why? Without
a blush, they gave her the reason for their
iecision. “There are men in the class and
a woman should not be teaching men.”

Hicks CL’cle
Mrs. George Clark was hostess
“Don’t be bitter” is, again, all I can sug
gest to the teen-ager who was removed from
her post as teacher of a Sunday School class
of third grade boys. She was told she was
sacrilegious. Why? Because she had the good
sense to tell the boys that in her opinion
Jesus, if He were walking the earth today,
would use things such as airplanes and
rockets in parables. She explained that sheep
and grain were familiar symbols of Biblical
times.
And then, I have on my desk a letter—the
stationery is that of the school system in a
large southwestern community. The woman
to whom it is addressed sent it to me. The
letter says, in part, “Our school board had
a regulation that we could not employ teach
ers over 40 years of age. This restriction has
been removed, but because of excellent
tenure in the system . . . most principals
tend to favor the younger generation.”
She isn’t bitter. And, she is working now
in California. But, she does read it in order
to enjoy a big laugh, she says, every time an
article appears about laws being passed to
end discrimination against older persons
applying for work.
The last sentence destined it for my How’s
That Again? file. It says, “Do you wish us
to retain your application?”

DEAR POLLY — Is there any
way to clean that well-known br

molded shell covered with vinyl,
so it will retain its original ap

DEAR POLLY — I saw the
following idea at a Franciscan
Brothers school and thought it a
good Pointer for the home. There
was a painted outline for each
tool that should be hanging on a
piece of perforated hardwood. In
this way the tool user could see
just where a tool belonged
when returning it and also knew
at a glance if tools were missing
and what they were.
A cheery, welcoming sight for
a child’s birthday party is to tie
a cluster of balloons to the front
porch rail or to a brick at eith

DEAR POLLY — I want to
help Mrs. R.L.H. with ideas for
first anniversary (paper) gifts.
I found the matching decorated
paper plates, paper cups (hot
and cold) and paper napkins
most useful. They saved me a lot
of dishwashing during the hot
summer months after our June
anniversary. Perhaps our most
remembered gift was a gift cer
tificate for two dinners at one of
our better restaurants. This pro
vided a night on the town for a
pair of newlyweds who did not
want to unbalance the budget for
a fancy anniversary dinner. —
MRS. G.D.J.
DEAR POLLY — We planned
a whole party around a paper
anniversary. Exaggerated pa
per corsages and boutonnieres
were made of facial tissues for
the couple and their “king and
queen” chairs were decorated
with paper posies.
As to presents, there were mo
nogrammed notepaper, a paper
dress for the “bride” and paper
hankies for the “groom." Per
sonalized gifts were a scrapbook
of the wedding story and memo
ries. However, the most perfect
present possible Is a pretty pa
per check. — DOTTIE
