We see Television, hear Radio, and attend public speaking, but none of this can take the place of the printed word. It gives one a chance to scrutinize those things that are of interest to the public welfare. The fast pace we are set¬ ting today and the variety of phil¬ osophy that is thrown at us from every angle can quickly shape one into something he never in¬ tended to be. Good newspapers with thoughtful editors are surely a guiding light. Keep up the good work and may we thank you many times over for the publicity you have given over the years to the pro¬ gram on which I work and to the community in general. Sincerely yours, MARK B.

One of the countless reasons why the response to newspaper adver¬ tising is so outstanding is that women EXPECT to see advertis¬ ing in their hometown newspaper — The Cleveland Courier. This special advantage of The Courier, which we have pointed out so often, is now buttressed by a research project which has con¬ cluded: “getting a woman to see an advertisement is not enough — A woman pays attention to adver¬ tisements when they’re where she EXPECTS to see them — (in the Cleveland Courier” Established 18ft Xmt What's Going On In Your White County Schools By Telford Hulsey, Superintendent GEORGIA EDUCATION ASSOCIATION MEETS IN GAINESVILLE White County teachers attend¬ ed the 9th District Georgia Edu¬ cation Association at Gainesville on October 22. The speeches were very good, but 1 guess the best part of a meeting such as this is the fellowship with others and finding out what is going on in other schools. There was a large number of White County teach¬ ers present. Skiing Indoors Termed Fastest Way to Learn More and more would-be skiers are learning now and skiing later. Indoor training before ever set¬ ting ski on a slope is the latest thing. And most experts vigorous¬ ly applaud it. Many novices now sign up for ski sessions inside a gym and there they learn some of the basic rudi¬ ments — how to stand, how to go straight downhill, and how to “snowplow.” This saves them time later when they get on a real slope. It aslo helps save some awkward spills. Indoor pre-ski preparation is seen as an especially American trait. French Olympic downhill gold medalist Jean Vuarnet notes it and thinks it makes Americans into good skiers faster, on the whole, than Europeans. Student Welfare Jobs Approved by Council In a session marked by vocal exchanges, the Board of Estimates today approved 36 new tempor¬ ary “social welfare student” posi¬ tions. Casting the only dissenting vote, Comptroller Hyman Pressman com¬ plained that the Welfare Depart¬ ment was too concerned with re¬ cruiting parttime workers, and said it was not hiring enough full-time case workers. Welfare Director Esther Lazarus said: “This is a routine matter that’s been going on 25 years. If I had known that I was going to have to defend the proposal I would have been more prepared.” “Maybe this will be a lesson to you,” commented Mayor McKeldin. Miss Lazrus maintained she was encountering difficulty in filling 58 case worker vacancies. She said the only present way to fill openings was to hire student work ers. The stuednts are paid $5,200 a year for two days’ work each week while attending school three days a week to earn masters degrees. After receiving their masters, studens must work for the depart¬ ment for at least two years, full time, for an annual salary of $7,420. Under close questioning by Coun¬ cil President Thomas J. D’Alesan dro III, the welfare director admit¬ ted that only a moral obligation keeps former students on the full¬ time employment payrolls a full two years. But she added that the workers usually leave shortly afterward for better-paying jobs elsewhere. Trends... The time seems coming when “His Honor” will widely mean mayor of the county — not just the city. About 15 counties already are run by eleceted chief executives. And more than 50 counties have managers picked by county boards. Other counties are looking into it — Montgomery County (Dayton) in Ohio, and Rock County in south¬ ern Wisconsin, for instance. Most of the 3,043 counties in the country are governed by board of supervisors or commissioners. But if this trend the other way keeps up, it may hurry a new city-county relationship. With stronger county govern¬ ments headed by mayors, some cities may turn more functions over to them. Already the city of Milwaukee has plans to hand over its ruh bish collection, library, and mu¬ seum services to Milwaukee Coun¬ ty, which has a “His Honor.” No Veto Planned Editor, The Wall Street Journal: Your editorial “The Bill for Bill¬ boards” (Sept. 22) expressed op¬ position to President Johnson’s pro¬ posed highway beautification leg¬ islation largely qg the ground that it represented intrusion on state’s rights, which you concluded mainly from your understanding that “it permits the Secretary of Commerce to veto, if he chooses, state or local moves to rezone for industry or commerce along high¬ ways not so zoned now.” The legislation proposed by the President, and that passed by the Senate and reported by the Senate Public Works Committee, contains no suoh veto. It provides that zoning actions by the state or the community are conclusive, and that if a state or community should zone an area for industrial or commercial use that area would be exempt from the billboards prohibitions of the legislation. Rex M. Whitton Federal Highway Adminis¬ trator, U. S, Department of Commerce Washington, D. C. ■ i 1 Filling a Vacuum Editor, The Wall Street Journal: Re your recent editorial “The Decline of Liberalism”: I agree with your conclusion that the in¬ tellectual vacuum that has built up in our lives could be made the stepping stone to the genuine up¬ grading of the guiding belief of our society by working to convert our creed of materialism into one of high quality in the spiritual function of life. But it is difficult to see how this can be done by turning away from the authority of Government and from the excessive devotion to mass-man or from the conform¬ ity of the collective, which frank¬ ly, we never have had. The ac¬ complishment of such devotion actually well could help to fill the present void in our existence. Also, a reappraisal of the worth and dignity of the individual — if this included the poor — could be a leading step in the accom¬ plishment, Sismondi, the most discerning critic of classical economic thought, found long ago that ex¬ perience did not support Adam Smith’s theory that social bene f'.ts always result from individual initiative and enterprise. Experi¬ ence, also supports Sismondi in his contention that “no nation can be considered prosperous if the condition of the poor who form a part of it — is not se cure ...” As you say, putting poor people better housing does not neces¬ sarily provide them with moti¬ to become effective mem¬ of society. Here, however, the definitely is to be found the putting, wihich with us us¬ provides no solid stake for the poor in our system. The FHA 221(d)3 program for housing, instance, would be more ration¬ were it not designed virtually to give the title to property paid under Government auspices by poor to the sponsors of these Here, unless my standard of fair-play is inordinate, the Gov¬ sense of justice simply does not extend to these tenants. But for the overriding urge us to take advantage of a real chance to upgrade the quality of our guiding beliefs stem from Congressional to direct the most en¬ people in the world to able to succeed without basely the poor to the advantage the vested. Even so, such legis¬ might help a democratic like ours to become more ease with itself, might even to infuse new meaning into way of life. The vacuum waits to be filled; whatever is to be done about should result from sound obser¬ and reasoning, from pro¬ ductive rather than preditory ex¬ ploits, from total rather than in¬ dividual involvement.
