EDITORIALS No Halloween Martyrs Hklloween is the vigil night before All Saints Day - a day with roots in the ancient commemoration of unknown martyrs. Unless motorists use extreme caution, the Midwest may produce some new martyrs from among the approximately millions of school children who will spill into the streets for tricks-or-treats this Oct. 31 - martyrs to careless driving. And they will not be unknown. They could be Billy and Sally, Tommy and Nancy - the kids next door, or your own children. While Halloween can be a fun night for children, it is also potentially dangerous for them as they wander the darkened streets in awkward, difficult-to-see costumes and vision-impairing masks. Here are some safety tips to motorists and parents of trick-or- treaters: To motorists - Drive slowly and warily. Watch for children darting out from between parked cars. Tap your horn occasionally on dimly-lighted residential streets. Be extremely cautious while backing out of driveways. To parents - Escort your littlest ones. If your children are going as a group, give the oldest a flashlight. Dress the kids in bright clothing or stick reflective tape on their costumes or trick-or-treat bags. Use a scissors to widen the eye holes in their masks. Urge than to look up and down the street before crossing. At the same time - parents should check the candy before children eat it fen* extra tricks - razor blade, pins, drugs-hidden inside. Adults who do their own merrymaking at Halloween parties are reminded that drinking and driving don't mix. Remember, that Halloween is a fun time for children. In all the excitement, they're not likely to be thinking of safety. You - the motorist - have to do their thinking for them. If children's Halloween antics remind you that you were a kid once yourself, drive in a manner to ensure that some child will grow old en ought to say the same. Recipe For Success In recent decades, as technological progress came rapid­ ly and the number of skilled or technological jobs steadily increased, greater and greater stress and importance has been placed on education. Countless studies have shown that the educated boy or girl earns more, on the average, than the less educated. However, a recent $500,000 study, financed by the Car­ negie Corporation indicates that while education does play a part, and is of course desirable, it plays a far less important role in dictating one's earning ability than has been assumed. A three-year study by a Harvard team shows that better schooling, while desirable, has much less effect on chances of economic success for poor children than has been wide­ ly believed. Better schooling, the study says, would have had "surprisingly little effect." Schooling's effect on chil­ dren is estimated at about 25 per cent. Cognitive skill, one's ability to manipulate words and numbers, reach logical conclusions, assimilate information, cannot be equalized by schools, the study says. But neither does cognitive skill play the major role on one'8 earning capacity. (Schools largely codify and some­ times solidify cognitive differences children bring to school with them, the report says.) What largely determines one's earning power, however, though education unquestionably helps, is not schooling, cognitive skill, heredity, home background, IQ or any of the other social influences so many have stressed in re­ cent years. Such things as luck, personality, chance, the ability to psyche out the boss, or get along with the right people, chance in meeting the right people, appearance, the ability to synthesize large quantities of information, char­ acter, industry, etc., account for three-quarters of the vari­ ations in peoples' incomes. Thusthe sacred cows of more money for schools and more schooling, while desirable, are not all-important in deter­ mining incomes. Caring For The Baby The Consumers Union, a nonprofit testing organization, says strained baby foods on the U.S. market contain little of nutritive value. The CU doesn't blame manufacturers al­ together. The study shows that, except for meat products, the con­ tents of baby foods contain relatively small amounts of thiamines riboflavin, niacin, calcium, iron and vitamins A and C--all essential nutrients. These fruits and vegetables, however, often contain little more of these essential nutrients when eaten fresh; thus the warning to mothers is that babies must get thfeir essen­ tial nutrition from either milk or supplementary vitamins and minerals, that they won't get it from strained baby foods. CU says manufacturers shouldn't add unnecessary in­ gredients to baby foods, as many do, such as salt, sugar and starches. And it suggests mothers avoid giving babies spinach and beets, even if fresh, because both are high in nitrates. It likewise suggests other additives, such as monosodium glutamate, be avoided in canned and frozen food preparations. Since good nutrition has been found to have such a sig­ nificant bearing on both physical and mental health, the CU study, even though it outlaws that old standby, spinach, should be seriously considered by all parents, since the organization has no axe to grind. "Buy Back America" A special study by the Conservation foundation, undertaken at the request of the White House, has found that the nation's thirty - seven federal parks are often overcrowded, that they are too far from the cities, in which four out of five Americans now live. The group urgently recommends the government begin buying land for the creation of new parks near large U.S. cities, a program which would bring the parks within reach of millions who never visit them and alleviate overcrowding in presently existing parks. The "buy back America" program recommended by the study group is a sound proposal, one which would create recreational opportunities for some 80,000,000 people living near the nation's thirty-three largest cities -- badly needed opportunities in view of today's urban congestion and crime, and a less costly one than many of the remedies proposed to help the cities. Halloween Halloween has its origin among the Druids centuries be­ fore the Christian era and from the Roman festival of Po­ mona. Later the church adopted the day as a special one, and the name is of Christian origin, referring to the eve of All Hallows Day. Druid customs were so firmly entrenched that although the Romans outlawed their observances in both Britain and Ireland during their occupation many of the observances survive to this day. Halloween is one. To the Druids, October 31st was the end of the year and thus the festival. The Druids also believed this was the time good souls of the dead went into animals, especially the cat. They believed punishment of the wicked could be lightened by gifts and prayers. (The 31st is also Protestant Reformation Day, dating from Martin Luther's rejection in 1517 of the church's teaching that one could buye indul­ gences for both the living and dead.) In the United States the day has come to be associated with young people, who gatheir in goodies in trick or treat calls--a vast improvement over the mischief and destruction of former years.

The weather is a most important influence on our hunting. First, enough rain and the right conditions are required to populate our woods and fields with wild­ life, by giving them vegeta­ tion and insect and animal food. Second, weather often de­ termines when and where birds migrate. It can deter­ mine where native animals and birds are to be found during the hunting season- in heavy, protected areas, or out in the open, so to speak. What some people don't realize is that severe weath­ er kills game, as well as people. A severe winter fol­ lowing a dry summer is hard­ est on many forms of wild­ life. * * * * The man, or woman, who leams to laugh, at himself or herself, even privately, is making some progress.
