PFC the veteran of the Inchon invasion left Korea Oct. 15 for Japan. He landed at Seattle, Washington, Nov. 15, and was sent ta a camp in New Jersey for re-asslgnment. He has hope. of obtalning bis discharge and jaining either the Ontario Pravinciul Police or the Toronto Police Force. But first, he must obtain Canadian citizen- ur entetaining. Young people sbould hurnanize lesus and leari faundea-stand Hlmn thaougi tie Bible. He had wonderful executive ability. He provided leader-ship and was liked by bath men and women. He was an outdooa- man, brave and strong. Jesus was a greet psycbologist. If is only in receat yea-s that His psychology bas been realized. Thea Ma-. DeGeer expleined fbe passage: "As e man thinkethinl bis heert, s0 is be." The character o! e man is the complefe sum of hmis thougits.

The Dummitts took up rE sidence in Campbellford, origir ally, but when Allen was nia- maved ta Bowmanville. Redu Have Opiumn Courage jIn the Korean Theatre, th Quartermestea-'s Corps is "tryin ta stay as close ta the fronta it can," PFC Dummitt said. Theý are trying ta ensure "the besto rations" for the front-line fightin, men opposing gym - shoe - cla Chinese who are flghting maniac when "doped with opiumn." Ap parently Reds are allowed opiun and other narcotica at the frai in order to develap false cour age. It's notbing ta see Cbinesý gang-attack uslag clubs, sticks an( x erv fey rifles, "Sauchie" Dua mitt said. While in Korea, Allen Dummit attempted ta "look up" Border Brannigan and Allan Clayton,o Bowmenville, but bis efforts ii this direction failed. e Comnmenting on the fightiný ability of frontline saldiers la th( -Asiatic wer, the Bowmenville ho3 said the Soutb Korean Armn e"doesn't ca-aperate worth a damr in the figbt." They baing theii women ta the front with then and the enemy, if he bas a chaice prefers ta rush a South Korear position. He seid the Reds arE poor maa-ksmen witb a rifle anè that most U.N. casualties are leî and aa-m wounds, but xvben i cames ta martars the Reds arE exceptional. 'Tbey cen puta mortar shell in your back pocket,' Dummitt said.

Then, the war aeveats ta "operetion Yo-Yo.'1 In his estimation, the present con- flict in Korea is a "polîtical war" andi figbting men in Korea expeet the Reds ta produce ar ace-la-the-hole. Apparently 1,000 or 1,500 plane air attacks could be the ace-in-the-hole, as intirea ated by Allen Dumnmitt. Hi. Bigent Seare Asked ta name the "biggest scare" encountered during bis 14 montbs in Karea, PFC Dummnitt promptly replied, "the time the ammunition train blew up at Che- chon." Allen Dummitt was near the train whea sebeteurs, it is believed, blew up two cars of arnmunition. This newspaper cerried a stary on PIC A. W. Dummnitt Feb.8, 1951, which wes mailed ta him; in Korea. "I gat the Statesman," be said, "and it was just îike a, letter froni home."1 The Stetesmen joins witb "Souchie" Dummnitt's many otheri friends in Bowmanville in wisb- ing hlm a happy leave. We hope, fao, that he mnay realize bis am- bition o! becoming a member 'of a Canadien Police Force in the not tao distant future. Business Man Gives Inspirlng Talk To Trinlty Y.P.U.

The Right Christmas Spirit Parents Are Asked to Study New Report Card Jssued This Nonth A new type o! report card is being used in Bowmanville Pub- lice Scbools for the fia-st time this rnontb. The report measures a pupil's l)Iogress against what he is capable of doing, instead o! camparing bis achievernents with those of bis classmates. The latter sysfem, ; which bhas been used for many years. is believed, by some teachers and- eduication- lsts ta have a barmful etteet on e child who rnay stand near the bottom of the class, but be work- ing ta the limat of his ability. Ia the new reports, the old system of percentage marks and grades bas been abqlisbed. For ea-h subject the pupil is mra-ked O for Outstanding, S for Satis- factoa-y, or U for Unsaaisfactory. This grading is arrivcd et by the teacher, who tries ta take into consideration the child's ability la the subjecf and- whether lie is woa-king up ta the limit o! that ability or not. The system is also used ta indicate the teacber's opinion of the pupi's progress in1 personality, attitudes ýregarding respect for property, and sense1 o! responsibility. The sx'stern, xhich is in uase1 ia the Toronto schools. is in the, experimiental stage and teacherst are somewhat dividcd la theirE opinion of its merits. Som-e Tor-r onto teachers feed that it is di-t- ficuit ta prove that a cbild is flotr woa-king up ta bis ability and are giving the pupil the benefit o! tbe doubt by gradiag hlm S, Others feel it is discouragiag ta a good student wba gets 80 ta grade hlm the same as one who gets 40 because the latter is woa-k- ing ta the limit o! bis ability. On tbe cther baad, other Tor- onto teachers aad principals feel the new system is e step in the rigbt direction. The feeling o! local teechers bas not been detea-- miaed. Individuel marks aa-e still aecorded, and parents are encour- aged by the local principal, Mr-. A. M. Thompson, ta arrange an interview with bimself or the child's teacher ta discuss any points whicb mey be ta-aubling them Lbout their cbild's pa-ogress la scbool. The principal reminds parents that report ca-ds are sent borne- wifh et least three pua-poses la mind: 1. To inform the pupil o! bis Progress. 2. To inform the parent o! the pupil's progress. 3. To encourage the pupîl's e!- foqrt. AIl gradings and comments by the teacher on the report card are an aftempt ta carry out these pua-poses, and the co-operation of the parents by giving the new reports caretul study is ua-ged. lite expectancy is continuing and, with it, the field for aduîf educe- lion is growing yeaa- by year. Af tbe same time, air travel, radio and television are bringing the cultures of far-away lands fa oua- doorsteps. The Massey Report on national development in the arts, letters, and sciences bas emphasized the vital part that the universifieg play through providing e centre for adoît education. The report points ouf fiat not only does the university sea-ve v ohlun t a r y groups, if is also tie fountain- bead ot a sta-eam o! communal activities. Univer-sity lubraries, consea-vatories of music, collec- tions of pictures, films, gaama-J phone records, museum mefteriels of ahl sorts are placed et fie dis- posaI o!fie public la that bas- pifable spirift vbjch is la the uni- x'ersity tradition.
