Through the courtesy of a real sports fan, Hugh Fanning, we landed in Beautiful W rigley Field Tuesday to see the Cubs do battle with the walloping Cincinnati Reds. A1 Blake was at the wheel and Al Barbian showed us the way (have been told he is ano­ ther one who could get lost in Terra Cotta). Seems there was another fel­ low in the back seat, but he is a White Sox fan and still hasn't given us permission to reveal that he went to see the Cubs. It will come out! Stopped at a little German restaurant before the game. Barbian said something in Ger­ man to the waitress and was served pronto. The rest of us sat. We couldn't understand that woman's lingo, but she got the message before starvation ov­ ercame us. She showed us how not to pour beer into a stein. Ach! There was a bushel of action ir. the game. The Cubs showed great spirit, but pulled off some saadlc* plays. Gave runs away. «*i± the exception of Beck­ er., ir«e 3f the Cub batting •r cxudr": buy a hit.

Talk about a quiet place! Helen Low told us Frank and their boys were at the game. When we told her we just re­ turned, it was all our fault. Frank called us Wednesday morning to ask us to please stay away from that park. Cal­ led us a "jinx". That was the first time we ever went to a ball game and couldn't buy a bag of peanuts. There was cracker jack aplenty but no peanuts. Let us relate Before it's too late -- Place your bets On the New York Mets. Rockford, 111. - Who can de­ fine an auto racing fan? Is any­ one who attends an auto race a fan? Perhaps, but sometimes people attend auto races for dif­ ferent reasons. Wives go with their husbands. Children go with their fathers or in many cases, fathers go with children. Girl friends go with their dates but can they under these circum­ stances be called a fan? I don't think they cam be cal­ led a fan because I've seen au­ to racing fans and they just are­ n't there to watch the cars go round and round and eat pop corn, hot dogs, cotton candy and drink beer or beverages. An auto racing fan is a dedicated individual with a purpose. They are there to make sure their favorite Beats the bad guys. A bad guy is anybody who happens to have started ahead off their» favorite driver. • *- As the race starts they are pushing on the throttle. They drive deeper into the turns each lap. They dart to the insole or outside to pass. They argue with the flagman when the advantage isn't in favor of their favorite driver. And when their driver wins, they are in victory circle. Even while the driver is coming around to pick up the check­ ered flag, they have screemed so loud that they have drowned out the noise of the motors and in their excitement, they have spilled three boxes of popcorn, lost six pencils and realized their hopes for another week. W hen their favorite driverpulls into victory circle they are there with the banners,buttons, flags and cards. They want his picture, his name, his shin, his hat or any part at him that has sped around the track at The W hite Sox are now on the right track. They have a Mur­ phy on the team. Living Businessmen Win Admiration Howard Hughes, Robert McNamara, J. Paul Getty, Arnold Palmer and Betty Furness all have something in common. They are among the "living businessmen" in whose footsteps University of Michigan students would most like to follow, accord­ ing to a poll by Prof. David L. Lewis in his class.

Such approaches take two basic forms. They may con­ sist of school programs the- matically focused on impor­ tant aspects of the child's everyday life, be it urban or rural -- wherever he is. Or, they may literally bring "school" to the child's home -- again, where he is. Typical of the former are new educational programs which employ a vast variety of materials -- from books, games, puzzles and pictures in the classroom to visits and trips in the neighboring com­ munity -- all of which are centered on familiar child­ hood experiences. "On the Farm," "In the Park," "At the Supermarket" and other such subjects lead the child from the familiar to the new, and tinder teach­ er's guidance, he acquires new words, develops his own ideas and projects. The latter idea -- bringing "school" to the child -- is ex­ emplified by an innovative early childhood education program in mountainous and isolated areas of Appa- lachia, in West Virginia. Sponsored by the Appala- chia Educational Laboratory, the program includes half- hour daily TV presentations, based on a scientifically-de­ veloped curriculum; weekly visits, from staff members trained by the Laboratory; printed material to accom­ pany the TV lessons; parent education; a weekly session in a kindergarten on wheels and, for five-year-olds, a Head Start type of summer experience just before they s^rt to regular schools, re­ ports "Today's Education," the journal of the National nSRING TOURNEY At ANTIOCH SEPT. 13-14 The Midwest Open sport fish­ ing team championship tourna­ ment in the Chain of Lakes will take place Sept. 13-14.

Home Study Has New Role In High Schools Home study schools, long a source of adult education courses in cultural and voca­ tional skills, are playing a new educational role at the high school level -- two new roles, in fact. They're helping high schools cope with teacher shortages. And they're help­ ing highschool dropouts con­ tinue their education. Through a Supervised Cor­ respondence Study program, high schools can offer spe­ cialized subjects even when teachers are lacking. The high school provides a super­ visor, and a home study school provides course mate­ rials, grading and other stu­ dent services. More than 1,000 high schools are currently parti­ cipating in this program, working with private home study schools accredited by the National Home Study Council. breakneck speeds. Many times people are happy over the wins of drivers. But the true fan, is a fan in a loss too and the next week they are back ready to support their fav­ orite driver. They are even more disappointed in a rain out than the drivers, but they bounce back with all the vigor and the strength of a child at play. How do I know all this about race fans? Fve seen them in ac­ tion at the Rockford Speedway cheering for Champions, runner ups and last place finishers. As the season narrows down to Championship race time they are even more intent and that is a real FAN OF RACING. -!

Richmond-Burton Joycees To Sponsor Junior Sports Jomboroe Sot., Sopt. 6 A The Richmond - Burton Jay - cees are sponsoring a Junior Sports Jamboree for boys and girls who are 10 through 15 years of age on or before the day of the event - Saturday, September 6. This event is a competitive track program whose express purpose is to provide an action program that serves both youth physical fit­ ness and juvenile delinquency prevention purposes. These purposes are accomplished by participation of both boy sand girls., including the so-called "spectator athlete", and youth not presently involved in school recognition and self-develop- ment of their physical abilities. To participate, a youngster ne­ eds nothing more than the de­ sire to compete. Contestants will compete in the following age divisions: Midgets 10-11 years of age. Juniors 12-13, and Intermedi­ ates 14-15. Each contestant may enter a maximum of 3 events consisting of one track event, one field event and a relay. To enter a participant need only complete an entry blank to be handed out by physical "SCHOOL" COMES to rani preschoolers in Appalachia through home visits and a TV program which starts with the scene pictured. Photo, National Education Association. Education Association. Faced by the difficulties and expense of busing, the lack of public kindergartens and the teacher shortage, the Laboratory determined to use television to take early childhood education sessions to the children, in order to provide three-, four- and five-year-olds in Appalachia with stimulating preschool experience. The curriculum was devel­ oped by the College of Hu­ man Resources of West Vir­ ginia University, with atten­ tion to special educational needs of rural children. Federally-financed, the ex­ perimental program is con­ ducted in an eight-country area around Beckley, West Va., with 150 official enrol- lees. Of course, any child can watch the televised parts of the program, over WO AY-TV in Oak Hill. IN FACT. EACH YEAR EACH ONE OF US 260,000.000 AMERICANS IKTS 80 HOT OOGS. A LOT?

PG. 6 - PLAINDEALER - FRI. AUGUST 29, 1969 More High School Crads to College SIDELIGHTS WHAT 5 AMERICA' FAVORITE SAUSAGE? THE HOT DO€ . OF COURSE ARE GOOD TASTING NUTRITIOUS AHO ECONOMICAL BECAUSE THERE'S HO WASTE At this rate it is not incon­ ceivable^that- institutions of higher learning will be called upon to take carc of 8,000,000 or more students this fall. This growth on the campus stems from the following: Publicly financed elemen­ tary schools enrolled nearly 45,000,000 pupils last year. This was a 2.4 per cent in­ crease over the previous year. These figures account for all age groups inclusive of the beginners who start earlier these days at age 5 in pre- primary classes, through the elementary and high school grades and age 17. But it does not include the mounting numbers of children enrolled in private schools, or the youth enrolled frequently in special part-time classcs out side the traditional educa­ tional system. Significant is the fact that 77.6 per cent of the pupils who entered the 9th grade in the fall of 1964 were gradu­ ated from high school last year. This may be compared to the record for those 9th graders of 1959, 70.9 per cent of whom were graduated, in­ dicating that dropouts are dropping in number, multi­ plying the pressure on col- leges and universities.
