py PEACE CORPS 4 2 ¥ ANNIVERSARY -- As the Peace Corps marks ge its second anniversary, thou- sands of young Americans, like Lois La Civiata, are far from their homes serving the cause of peace in many strange lands. Miss La Civiata, 22, a health education assistant, uses makeshift visual aids to explain to youngsters in Togo, Africa, the importance of personal hygiene and proper diet. o> La Want Whipping Restored In Schools A recommendation for lifting of the ban against corporal pun- {shment 'in the schools of Wash- ington, D.C., has touched off a highly emotional debate. 'The proposal was made by Su- erintendent of Schools Carl F. Hansen, along with other recom- mendations designed to restore discipline and order in the tem- pest-torn school system. ~ - : He did not mean, he has ex- lained, that 'the téacher should immediately aply the rod or the immediately apply the rod or the against such disciplinary action should. be removed. As it is now, impertinence and insolence are actually encour- aged, he says, with pupils taunt- . ing the teacher: "You can't touch ~mg.. I'll have the law on you." Superintendent Hansen does not make these recommendations belligerently. He is faced with a serious crisis in which teachers are plagued by unruly-pupils and olasses disrupted by ~hoodlums who loiter in the corridors, The problem stems partly from racial tensions, More than 83 percent of all public school pu- - ils are Negroes. Schools of the istrict of Columbia were the fleet to desegregate following the' United States Supreme. Court de- cision. It was done all at once; not step by step. ~~ Tension snapped following a school football game last Thanks- giving Day in which an all-Negro team lost to "a predominantly white team. More than 300 per- sons were injured in the riot. This touched off an investiga- tlon by .a citizens' committee which reported lawlessness and lack of control in the' schools. Superintendent Hansen has now asked permission of the -school board (1) to expel or suspend unruly students; (2) to put dis- ruptive children in secial classes apart; (3) to lift the ban on cor- oral punishment, He also urges a drive to restore $3300,000 to the 1964 budget to improve school -services-and- ease overcrowding. i Most controversial of these pronosals is the one dealing with corporai punishment. President of the school board Wesley Wil- liams is against any lifting of the ban on this form of discipline, writes Josephine Ripley in The Christian Science Monitor, The issue is a national one to the extent that most states have _laws either for or against this type of punishment. Teachers wha apply it may be subject to court action. Many spare the rod for this reason even though they may have legal authority to ap- ply it. Over the - past century there have been some 60 reported cases of assault and battery against teachers, with three - fifths ~ of them brought in criminal courts, according to a National Educa- tion Association survey. These cases arose in 19 states, Since 1940, there have been 10 cases of assault and battery, .four criminal and six civil, tion, the courts dealt with three cases involving disciplinary ac- tion against a teacher, or job dis- missal, in which questions of cor- poral punishment were raised. Under common law the teacher has the legal status of a condi- tionally privileged person, stand- ing in loco parentis, in place of the parent." This privilege includes physi- cal chastisement or other form of punishment for the purpose of - enforcing reasonable discipline. In other words, the punishment -must not be excessive or mali-* cious, and must be given in a proper manner. It is, of course, limited to situations which fall within the jurisdiction of a teacher. : - «New Jersey is the only state which prohibits corporal---punish- ment. In a number of states the teacher is required by law to keep order and discipline, but the statute is silent as to methods. Art Is Everywhere In Indonesia The arts in Indonesia reflect the preception and creativity" of a people surrounded by great natural beauty and a rich cul- tural heritage, Art, like religion, 'is woven Into the pattern of everyday existence. It is a na- tural form of expression of joys and sorrows and an integral ac- In addi- companiment to celebrations and religious rites, as well as a prin- cipal source of leisure time en- joyment . . .

Sights and sounds to gladden the eye and ear are found at every turning, transforming the most utilitari- an things into objects of beauty. The fruit vendor, in the market place busily weaves intricate patterns into the bamboo baskets in which his customers will car- ry home their wares. Betjas, the tricycle taxis that dart through city sfreets, pedalled furiously by drivers perched in the rear seats, are gaily painted; oxcarts on country .roads have handsome motifs woven into their matted . sides; the horse-drawn carts that are the taxis of smaller cities have richly coloured de- corations on their wooden sides. In the rice fields, the water flowing through the irrigation channels trips a series of bam- boo poles balanced so that the knocking sounds, made by one end of a pole hitting a stone, beat out a distinct rhythm. The po themselves are of differ- ing lengths and - circumferences, to produce a varying series of notes which make up a tune. The primary function of the trip- ping poles is to let the farmer know that the water: is still flowing, but the deliberately ar- ranged tune is to provide the essential function of sound: not noise, but music. -- From "In- donesia," by Jeanne S, Mintz, TART BALE A fos SERN SP STRETCHING A POINT -- © Paul the pelican stretches his long neck to get a tasty morsel held by Arthur May, superin- tendent of London's St. James' Park. They Used To Call Him The "Meal Ticket' The "Meal Ticket" they called him when he was ace of the New York Giants' pitching staff and helped guide them to National' League championships in the 1930's. And it seems. like the day be- fore yesterday that Carl Owen Hubbell lost a key game in the flag race and a New York paper carried the sports page headline: "Meal Ticket Gets Punched." But it didn't happen very often from 1928 through 1943 while the great southpaw with the famed "screwball" won a total of 233 games and lost only 154 for a .622 winning percentage. "King Carl" they also called " him and it fit, especially the July \ 4 afternoon in 1935, at the Polo Grounds, when he toed the rub- ber for the National League in the All-Star Game and succes- sively fanned five of the great- est hitters of all time --. Ruth, Lou & y i of Jimmie Foxx and Joe Cronin. "Yes," Hubbell replied," "they used to ask me about that day, but not much any more, The boys around today have only read about it. In fact," he added with "a smile, "not-many have seven heard of Hubbell." That was said in jest, of course, because the name of Hubbell will linger among the greats of this pitching business as long as base- ball is. played. "Today the "Meal Ticket" heads ~ the farm system of the San Fran- cisco Giants, directing young per- sonnel to their seven minor league teams that are either owned outright or have working agreements with the National League champions, ' Many youngsters. are reluctant to listen to older coaches, Why? "Well, for one thing," Hubbell said, "they think they know enough already: Then, too, they don't want to listen because they think the game has changed since you were playing and' the theo- ries that worked for you are no longer practical. They're wrong, of course, change. "You can't teach a boy skill, but you can get him started on the right foot by making funda- mentals .routine for him," Carl said. "He has to apply them, but he_can't unless you give them to hit." Did he go along with the con- tention that a young pitcher had to have a natural fast ball to at- tract the attention of scouts? "A lot of pitchers have made good livings in the major leagues swithout that big sfrike-out pitch," he said. "But you'd have to say he has a much better chance with a 'hummer.' : "What happens is' this. You have 100 young pitchers in your farm system. Not.more than one > 'out of the 100 will probably make it. So how can you bother with the ones who cant, throw hard? "Even most of the ones we've seen succeed in recent years without a 'hummer' had it when they . started," Hubbell added. "It's quite an asset." : The guest of a golfer drove four. of his host's balls into a water hazard, one after (he other, "Joe," ths host finally Fundamentals never «protested, "those "are 'my brand ~ . mew $1.25 golf balls yow're los- ing." "Look here, Al" replied the dunker, "it you can't afford 'this game, you shouldn't be playing it". t ehrig, Al' Simmons, Still A Great Show. On March 31, 1943, Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers and Hammer- étein musical, exploded on Broad- way, then played to packed hous. es for more than five years, "soared around the world and onto the motion - picture screen, and became an American classic, Last month New York's City Centre celebrated the musicals twentieth anniversary with a loving, lively revival, This time, said Richard Rodgers, the eve- ning was "not explosive. The au- dience had already heard the ex- plosion. It was very touching, very sentimental, nostalgicthe same laughs, the same tears. It was gooey, The audience sat there and got bathed." Among those awash was Rodg- ers himself. "As I sat there with my wife," he said later, "I won- dered if I were writing 'Okla- homa!' today, would 1 change anything? Where would I cut? It's awfully self-contented to say you wouldn't change anything, but I'm a great believer in not tooling around with values, The values in this show have been asserting thiémselves for twenty years."

She decided to go downstairs and investigate the sounds. ~ Tiptoeing past -the door of - Adria's room, not wanting to be heard and summoned inside, she hurried downstairs, - Following the lower hallway along the route she had taken last night, she found her way outdoors. The morning was warm and beauti- ful, She hardly needed the sweater she had flung about her shoulders. She could no longer hear the piping of music, but a frog orchestra had taken over and was tuning up noisily. The gardén was so large that much of it was no longer tended and grew pleasantly wild, so . = that before lorig she was almost lost in shrubbery and weedy growth. Idly she followed a path that led past a tiled fountain whére "water played. "Beside it = grew a tree completely afroth with purplish-pink blossoms, She wandered past a wisteria arbor, dripping lavender flowers, and through a thick grove that seem- ed like a bit of forest. Here she turned and stood looking back at the long box of a house in the bright morning Beyond the unused por- tion of the veranda the harem- lik was shut behind the lattices of many shutters, empty now of all the bustle of color and life that must once have existed here. --From "Mystery of the Golden Horn," by Phyllis A. Whitney. Troubles Of A a } Wealthy Man . What to give the man who has everything? Well, said billion- aire Jean Paul Getty in a BBC television interview, "a footnote in history" would suit him fine. And right now he could use a "better personality." The Ameri- can - born oil king, possibly the world's richest mortal, confessed: "I'm always worried of being - dull." He even envied small- business men who are "blessed with the boon of anonymity." By ° his definition, a small - business ~man is one who makes in a year - what Getty reportedly makes in a day: $280,000. The interviewer "wondered: "If -you-have-this abe surd income, how ever can you spend it?" Smiling, Getty made clear that he was concerned less with" spending it "than making more of it. Interviewer: "But Mr. . Getty, you can't take it with you." Getty: "It's probably a good thing, "It might be a bur- den." = Lipstick -- what a gal can't keep on and a man can't get off, Lh 5: RUN AROUND? -- When a driver is faced with this sign, he's bound to force a chuckle, These two signs placed side. by side outside of Philadelphia, Pa., get many laughs, i er Y Mens cam oe
