Working a trade
can pay off
By Abigail Van Buren
(t. 1976 by Chicago Tribune N V News Sy nd Inc
DEAR ABBY: A woman was distressed because her
bright 19-year-old son had quit college to enroll in a trade
school, saying he preferred to work with his hands. His
mother insisted that men who work with their hands do so
only because they are not smart enough to work with their
minds.
Thanks for telling her that college was not for everyone,
and that some hand work requires more talent, skill and
know-how than many professions.
That reminds me of this story: It seems a doctor had a
plumbing problem at home so he called a plumber who
came at once and corrected the problem in a short time.
When the plumber finished, the doctor asked how much
he owed him. The plumber said, "That will be $75.”
"That’s outrageous,” said the physician, “I'm a doctor
and I don't make that kind of money!”
The plumber replied, "Neither did I when I was a
doctor."
HENRY D. WIXEY, MSgt., USAF
DEAR HENRY: Beautiful!
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I can’t get home for
Christmas, so we always mail my mother a gift.
My sister, with whom Mom lives, opens the gift,
substitutes the same item (only cheaper quality) and gives
the gift we sent my mother to someone in her husband’s
family.
Mother, who is quite elderly, never knows the difference
and writes to thank us for the "dress, bathrobe, purse” or
whatever it was we sent to her.
My sister doesn’t know I am aware of this.
Should I send flowers or candy from now on? Or should I
say something? My sister and I have always been close,
and I hesitate to cause a rift. Nevertheless I am perturbed
over this.
WHAT TO DO
DEAR WHAT: It’s unfair to your mother to give her
"flowers or candy” if you feel she would prefer something
else. If you are sure of your facts, confront your sister and
tell her to quit that chintzy game.

Sen. Shapard visits Soviet block countries
‘lt was like a step back in time’
NEWS-DAILY, Jonesboro
BY BETTIELU CONAWAY
Staff Writer
A trip to Soviet block countries
to observe educational policies
was like a trip back in time-like
being in a vacuum, according to
Clayton Sen. Virginia Shapard.
The state, lawmaker from
Griffin spent three weeks
recently in Poland and Rumania
with a group of educational policy
makers from across the nation.
The group of U. S. citizens toured
the countries under the auspices
of George Washington Univer
sity.
Sen Shapared was the only
Georgian in the group. Com
posing the remainder of the 35
member tour were legislators
from other states, a It. gov., the
head of a higher education board,
deputy chief of school officers, a
representative of educational TV,
people who served as staff to
Congressional subcommittees on
education, members of the Office
of Education and the National
Science Founation
What the senator said she
discovered while with the group
is that “the gap of contact and
communication betw-een
Washington and the states is
fantastic.’’ She said she thought
this gap saw national govern
ment encroaching many times on
states rights.
Commenting on the tour. Sen
Shapard said time was equally
divided between Poland and
Rumania.
The group observed the various
type schools in those Soviet block
countries; rural schools,
schools, technical
schools, universities and day
schools (for pre-schoolers).
The group’s purpose was to
study the foreign systems,
observe how they are doing, and
changes made.
The senator noted that in those
countries where schools are in
session six days a week, the shift
is from an educational emphasis
on the humanities to technology.
“There is only one purpose to
their educational system: to
produce workers for the state,”
commented Sen. Shapard.
She said that the state deter
mines how many workers are
needed annually then training
slots are made available to fill
the quota.
The senator pointed out the
foreign school systems are
designed solely for superior
achievers-the low achiever falls
by the wayside.
She noted a student’s
achievement level guides how far
he or she progresses in the
system.
The senator described the
Soviet block countries as “the
ultimate version of the company
store,” because the state owns it
all.
“There is no hustle, no in
centive to give good service since

their jobs are guaranteed,” said
Sen. Shapard.
She said the state tries to key
students training to aptitude, but
that wasn’ts always possible
since the countries are mainly
agrarian societies shifting to
industrial societies, thus
necessitating more emphasis on
technological training.
She explained there were
marked differences between
Poland and Rumania.
The major difference was since
Poland has been marched over
and conquered so many times, it
is more nationalistic than
communistic.
“They (the Poles) are more
concerned with day to day
sustenance than government,”
said Sen. Shapard.
Rumania on the other hand is
more closely tied to the Soviet
Union economically and,
therefore, much farther down the
line to the communist ideal.
She spoke of seeing farmers
tilling the soil using outdated
methods and equipment; of
meeting many Polish people who
had lived in America, then upon
retirement moved to their native
country where they lived a
comfortable existence on their
retirement pay; of visiting
Auschwitz were Germans
exterminated Jewish prisoners
and where a commemorative
plaque bears the inscription
“Cain, what hast thou done to thy
brother Abel?”
Housing is deplorable and with
10 year waiting lists to get an
apartment in public housing,
many young marrieds must live
with parents until housing opens
up.
A tremendous shortage of
consumer goods combined with
being able to buy goods only with
hard currencies of the world
means people were willing to
swap their money at extreme
rates of exchange to get Yankee
dollars to spend.
Other observations by the
senator: a lack of available in
formation and free exchange of
ideas among the people; obvious
eavesdropping and censuring of
telephone conversations of
American tourists; a denial of
educational problems like
illiteracy (“They deny it exist
s.”); schools inculcate the
Communist ideal and children
can recite the Communist
idology.
Each member of the tour will
write about a particular phase of
the educational systems
observed (Sen. Shapard will
write about superior achievers)
which will be complied into one
publication for perusal by »
government leaders.
Commenting on her experience
Sen. Shapard said the op
portunity to observe firsthand
Communism in action is
“something I’ll never forget.”
