'It was well known that the - Russians had been making great strides in their rocket experiments, but many of us felt that the United States who has been pushing her scientists hard for the last two years might manage to be first in achieving this great step towards inter-planetary travel. These scientists now acknowledge that what the Russians have _done is sim- ply: marvellous. The accuracy of their predictions regarding the speed and tra- Jectory of the lunar rocket is astounding, "This latest success of the Russians lends weight to the critics of our present defense system.

Such increases in wages and salaries serve as a justification for further use of credit and so goes the merry round. Down payments should be restored and terms of contracts should be shortened.

Clipped Comments TEACHING DANGEROUS PROFESSION? Teaching is the most dangerous pro- fession, claims Frank G. Jennings, in the Saturday Review. It deals with our children, the most precious of our natural resources. It refines them in- to braves and wonderful adults or it grossly degrades them into dull, over- aged 'adolescents. Its results colour, mold, and determine the shape of our nation and the character of our people. Mr. Jennings states that, if our teachers lack lustre, fewer of their charges will be as bright as they might have been. If our teachers are cowards, they will teach their cowar- dice. If teachers are not responsible citizens, they will produce political idiots. If teachers become the tools of any pressure group, rather than the prime artisans of a creative society, then we will all shrink into a nation of domesticated, two-legged cattle. If teachers do not earn and keep the status and the respect which their profession requires, their role will be captured by the practical, committed, dedicated members of the industrial and commercial communities, who can train people very well, but who cannot afford the expense of the humane ad- venture. Thus, teaching must forever live in hold onto the protective warnings of these terrifying ifs, lest these warn- ings become irremovable realities. It is our great good fortune that in most of the schools in this country many pupils are met by a person for whom the magic of real respect and true love can quickly develop. This is so whether that teacher faces a kinder- garten of five--year-olds or a seminar of graduate students, The child learns many things quick- ly and permanently. Throughout childhood he is learning to be at home in this world, learning to read its signs and portents, learning its firm, un- shifting names and the volatile, shift- ing symbols, learning to listen and to know and to understand, learning to [creative danger, but teachers must: BEWARE OF THIS SCHEME Householders in Peterborough are warned to beware of a"model home" scheme. Some fast talkers from out of town are out trying to make a kill- ing. These salesmen use the pitch that they want to use your home for ad- vertising purposes. You are told that if you doll up the place with roofing, siding, awnings, storm windows or whatever they happen to be selling, you will get a bonus if the prospective customers he brings to your place to see these improvements also decide to buy. But what if these bonuses don't ma- terialize? Then the homeowner must make up the full payments out of his own pocket. If you are approached on this type of a deal give it careful act less on impulse and more with pur- pose. And of course it is true that he begins to learn all this at home. The true teacher joyfully accepts the call of strange tomorrows, finds se- curity and immortality in the healthy, happy and intelligent citizens he has thelped to shape. --~Canadian Statesman consideration and compare prices with those given by local dealers before signing any contract.
