mic Drivers Senator j^rksen believes in the "horse sense" applied to education, which Dr. Max Rafferty has tersely expounded ih California. And my son Philip is also a devotee of the views of Esri^agorus vs. those of Protagorus, whom many "liberal" educators haveasinine- ]y worshiped in recent years. By - George W., Crane, PH. D., M.D., CASE H- 519: Senator Everett Dirkspn recently had Dr. Philip Crane's lengthy address on education. placed in the C ONGRES-- SIGNAL RECORD. f Philip had contrasted the ancient Greek views of Pythagoras with those of Protagorus. Pythagorus believed that certain truths are eternal and objective; Protagorus disagreed, saying that truth is subjective and thus a matter of relativity or. even expediency. "At Vassar college," Philip added "a course was introduced to shake the beliefs' of enterinl freshmen in - such "provincial" ideas as chastity, honesty and patriotism. One spunky girl indignantly wrote her freshman essay, stating: v«I believe in God. I believe i# the United States of America attd in human dignity. -'"Moreover, next Spring I shall still believe in God. I shall still believe in the United States of America and I shall still believe in human dignity." °The professor called her to task for such "dangerous idea&" and indicated that if she held to such an inflexible viewpoint, it could jeopardize her grade in the course. She was flunked! •'Even the college newspaper, sheeplike, turned on this one girl who combined courage with "horse sense" saying she lifcd "shut her mind to change". ' Hie Bible tells us that if we £ow the wind, we'll reap the whirlwind, so is it any wonder we have witnessed a campus Shift to the view of Protagorus? ' For John Dewey started this same "permissive" doctrine in education that Dr. Spock foisted do the American public for the last generation. " Luckily, Dr. Max Rafferty, Of California, has tersely demo- . ttshed the "liberal" notions that have masqueraded as prevailing educational doctrines the *ast 36 years in American education. - A few years ago, Philip Jaoobs thus backed John Dewey's Mews in a book called "Changing College Values." Jacobs bemoaned the failure )t our schools to '"liberate" roungsters from what he callid "superstitions" and "par- >chial" moral attitudes. He considered "outmoded" uid "archaic" such views as rare held by that lone Vassar reshman student. Jacobs apparently believes e whole foundation of our Jud- H>-Christian morality is thus •archaic" and "parochial". As my son Philip stated in lis address, by their senior rear the Vassar girls were supposed to be so "liberated" that hey now believed: (1) There was nothing morally vrong about abortion: (2) Immorality and outside sexual affairs were not necessarily wrong; (3) Cheating was not morally wrong; if you justdidn'tget caught; ( (4) If they could sneak into a movie without paying, that was O.K. These were the "newvalues" being taught to help "liberate" the college students from the "provincialism" their parents had instilled in their! minds! Abraham Lincoln did hot have an aggregate of even one year of formal schooling! But he had "horse sense" derived from firsthand experience with life, so he was a twin for that freshman girl at Vassar who said she believed in God and the U.S.A. and would still do so, even after the year's lectures by that liberal professor! So send for my booklet" Tests for Teachers" enclosing a long stamped, self addressed envelope, plus 20 cents and restore education to the view of Pythagorus! (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets). Until now, the charge of "reckless driving'* has been difficult to prove in court thereby discouraging police officers from ticketing drivers with this offense when they observe it. Even harder to prove -- and therefore almost unknown on a traffic citation -- is the lessserious charge of "dangerous driving". You're guilty of this when, although you may not actually cause an accident, you don't leave yourself enough room to avoid one caused by someone else. But violations like these may not be so hard toprove any more thanks to a highly -complicated electronic device that you are all familiar with -- television and videotape . Don't be surprised if sometime soon, after you've been pulled over by a squad car, you're asked to step back to see an "instant replay" of your asinine behavior in the act of driving. And the same replay can'"Wiii court as ^ evidence. . ' The Connecticut State Police •are experimenting with this procedure in actual traffic conditions. The small camera is mounted ona swivel on the squad ' car's dashboard. Hie recording device is in the back seat«; ^ Hie TV setup can also be used to record conditions at the, scene of an accident, and in this regard scientists at the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory CBuffalo, N.Y.) are going Connecticut one better. ^ On an experimental basis, a special TV-equipped van has been built by CAL. In it, a team of professional accident investigators can view all aspects and angles of an accident scene at once, by virtue of a squad of roving cameramen tied to the. van electronically. Presumably, videotape can be utilized here, also. The use of TV in such situ* ations has a number of advan- _ ta|$& over conventional photograph. For one, it's fast -- there's no film to have processed. It's also cheaper in the long run, because tapes-can be used again and again.

Before, a badly smoking vehicle had to be impounded as evidence. But now jthe camera sees all. • So next time ybu're driving (like a nut -- you ma/ be on TV. vote on other issues, but who overlook or bypass the convention issue, in effect vote against it. Many organizations, including the Illinois State Bar association, have urged support of the convention proposal as a means of modernizing the state's nearly 100 year old constitution. Particularly in need of change, proponents say, is the Revenue Article, which is described as "restrictive and arbitrary". If the convention call is approved, and the convention produces a new or revised state constitution, then another statewide vote must be held to approve or reject the. new document. The last previous convention call was defeated at the polls in 1934. Prior to that, in 1922, a convention call was approved, but after the convention was held and new constitution had teen drafted, it was rejected bar the voters. Thus, the only changes made in the constitution since its adoption in 1870, have been in the form of amendments proposed by the legislature and approved by the voters. Should the convention call tie approved, the legislature at its next session must: (1) set a date for the election of two Con- Con delegates from each state senate district, (2) set the day, hour and place of the convention (3) fix the pay of the delegates and the officers they elect and (4) appropriate money to cover the costs of the convention. lite delegates must meet within three months after their election. They may revise oramend the constitution in whole or in part or draft a completely new document. Once their . work is done, they must set a date for a vote of the people on the new or revised document. TTiis vote must take place within six months but not before two months after the convention is ^ adjourned. H The. state's first consitutSon was written in 1818.

How can I make a gelatin dessert quickly when time is at a premium? A. Mix the gelatin with only enough hot water to dissolve it, then use ice water for the remaining amount of liquid. The gelatin will set in just a few minutes. Add fruit if you wish but be sure it is ice-cold. Q. How can I clean plaster casts? A. Swab over them with cold liquid starch, allow to dry thoroughly, then brush it off and the dirt usually comes off with the starch, leaving the cast as clean and white as when new. Q. How can I prepare a good economical -antique like stain for piite TVOOd? little water, makes a very good one. When dry, cover with two thin coats of fresh white shellac, and when that has dried, wax for a fine finish. Q. Too often, I get the use, of only about half of my tubes of household cement, because it hardens. How can I remedy this situation? A. You can keep your tubes of household cement usable to the last drop if, after using them, you replace the cap carefully, then put the tube into a small screw-top jar, and close this tightly. Q. How can I remove rain spots from velvet? A. By sponging them with carbon tetrachloride, rubbing in one direction. My household hints book contains much other such information on the care and cleaning of clothing and fabrics. Q. What is the best way to carmelize sugar? A. In a dry skillet in the oven. In this way, it heats from the bottom and top at the same time, caramelizing it quickly and smoothly. von "N TO CON-CON on November 5th Don't approve the impractical, unwieldy, expensive and risky way to change the Illinois constitution. * The machinery and clerical work involved, it is estimated this would well exceed $10,000,000.00! Why spend this kind of money..unnecessarily? Pressure groups are already behind the Con-Con idea. One is a group seeking a state income tax.
