f %Voviy. I inic Do you think Prof. Z is very likely a "white rat" or "guin­ ea pig*' psychologist? For 25% of us teaching psychologists have been out on the real fir­ ing line of life. So we realize the vital need of adding a lit­ tle moral nurture to college education. Morality is really an eternal game of "tag." Good teachers thus try to "tag" each new crop of teen-agers! By - GeorgeW.Crane,Ph.D., M.D. CASE L-591: Prof. Z., is a hoosier psychology teacher. "Dr. Crane," an engineering friend began, " I was recently. seated on an airplane beside Prof. Z. "In the course of our con­ versation, He noticed that I had my newspaper opened to your column in theX harlotte News. "So he began to criticize you for injecting morality into psy­ chology. "I didn't let on that I knew you personally. "Then he attacked your col­ lege textbook, saying that you had even inserted an entire chapter on the topic of "Psy­ chology and Religion.' "As a parting shot, he men­ tioned that you also belittle the dignity of university psycholo­ gists by using 2-syllable words. "By this time, I began to shoot some questions at him which made him go on the defen­ sive. " And when he learned that I was a friend of yours, he backed water fast. "But what is wrong with un­ iversity professors, anyway, that they belittle a colleague for endorsing moral princinles? HEED H.G. WELLS Do you readers suppose such internal strife within a profes­ sion might be due to what H.G. Wells once described as "jeal­ ousy with a halo?" For certainly no competent teacher should object to mix­ ing a little basic morality with medicine or psychology, chem­ istry or accounting; In fact, our universities ap­ parently need a big dose of pristine morality to offset the widespread cheating on exams. For a survey^ seniors at a large church-sponsored col­ lege in Indiana recently show­ ed that 54 percent admitted to cheating on their final exams! PRESENT CONCERT -- Pictured above are members of the 5th Army band, directed by Harry Crustals, as they presented a special program for all students and staff at Valley View school on Dec. 12. Sixteen members of the band thrilled nearly 700 people with an hour's outstanding educational performance. Schools in the northern Illinois area may ex­ plore the possibility of obtaining a similar program by writing: CW4 Erling H. Erlandson, U.S. 5th Army Band, Fort Sheridan, Illinois, 60037. Accidents in Home Can fie Avoided As the weather gets colder and periods of daylight shorter, people spend more and more time indoors. And home, says the Insurance Information In­ stitute. can be g dangerous place. To back up that statement, the Institute points out that in 1968 alone more than 28,000 persons were killed in accidents in the home -- 11,000 of them as a result of falls. Countless thousands were injured in acci­ dents which could easily have been prevented. The Institute offers these sug gestions: Groping in the darkness can be especially dangerous. Be sure light switches are easily accessible. Scatter rugs can be<^booby traps. Rugs with skid-proof backing are the safest. Don't run extension cords under rugs or across areas of a room where you normally walk. If you must reach into high areas, do your climbing on a sturdy step-stool or ladder. If the object you are reaching for is over or near a stove, be sure the burners are turned off. Keep stairways well lighted, and equip them with handrails. Prevent bathroom falls by us­ ing anti-skid strips and grab rails in the tub or shower. Avoid litter. Put the chil­ dren's toys away when they are not in use. Keep small footstools, maga zine racks and other low units, out of traffic areas, so that no one will trip over them. And don't overlook (he out door area. Keeping sidewalks and steps in good condition and free from ice and snow may be a laborious task, but it may pre­ vent a costly spill. Naa... Fred and Ethel wouldn't sue us over a loose step!

Other college polls nation­ wide have shown as high as 75 percent openly confessing similar nefarious behavior. "If the blind lead the blind; they both will fall into the pit," states the Bible. Much of our college campus unrest has thus be®h7'due di­ rectly to some of these "lib­ eral" professors. ( Not all teachers, by any means, are in this category, for thousands have staunchly supported the Boy Scouts and handled Sunday School classes. In my own case, I have taught the Dixon Bible class at the skyscraper Chicago Temple for 35 consecutive year£. This preempted half my Sun­ day holiday. And, like the other diligent souls who sacrifice their time for such youth work, I donated my services in the interest of the moral game of "tag." For unless each adult gen­ eration "tags" enough youth of the teen-age level, our hard won Constitutional freedoms and religion will disappear! My college textbook, "Psy­ chology Applied," thus pion­ eered an entire chapter on "Psychology Goes to Church". And it has already had 1,167 college classroom adoptions - more than any other textbook in its field. But meanwhile a number of sneering "white rat" psychol­ ogists try to belittle me for thus stressing proper moral be- Merchants Offered Suggestions To Avoid Holiday Mishaps Store owners prepare nearly all year for the holiday shopping rush, a period of record crowds, record sales and record merchandising efforts. With the massive preparation the season requires and its inevitable confusion, merchants should be alert to fire and acci- dent safety needs, cautions the Insurance Information Insti- tute. ^ The Institute offered these suggestions to minimize the chances of a fire or mishap which could put a damper on the season's selling activities and perhaps result in a serious financial setback: PG. 12- PLAINDEALER - FRI.

But about 25 percent of our psychology professors are out on the real firing line of life, so we appreciate the need to inculcate morality and sound patriotism among the oncoming generation. Maybe "white rat" and "guinea pig" psychology profs abhor such instruction but we pragmatic psychologists know that human beings constantly require moral nurture! (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclos­ ing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his book­ lets.) • Keep all store aisles and exits free from obstructions. When new merchandise is brought onto the buying floor during shopping hours, put it in place quickly so it will not interfere with customer or be- hind-the-counter traffic. Empty cartons should be disposed of quickiy, and storerooms and basements cleared of empty containers every day. Mark all exits clearly. • Keep floors clean, and mop entrance areas several times a day during wet weather. Supermarkets without n flooring should pay special at tention to prompt mopping of the aisles. • Use only store decorations of nonflammable or fire-resistant materials. A qualified electri­ cian should be employed to do any special wiring for the deco­ rations. • Confine smoking by cus­ tomers and employees to spe­ cifically designated areas. If smoking is forbidden, signs to that effcet should be posted at all entrances. • Train sales clerks and other personnel to work in teams during a fire emergency -- with emphasis on keeping customers calm and helping thetn out of the store. Of course, insurance coverage also should be reviewed as part of precautionary efforts. Your agent or broker will be happy to do this for you as part of his regular service. humor in the new| In Bodo, Norway, a younf seaman in sweater, overall* and rubber boots, walked iiitll an automobile dealer's show< room andjxfaght 16 new canfc for $70,000.
