' ■ — ' y '■ ■■ 1 - Don’t Label People The non-semantic habit of labeling opponents, or friends, with any of various political “names” is pointed up in the thoughless way that Lee H. Oswald has been labeled. Because he was an extreme eccentric, a selfavowed Marxist, he has been labeled a Communist, and because of this many have been led to suspect t that an international conspiracy is envolved in the late president’s death. The evidence in no case points this way. First of all, the Communist party is a closed party. Membership is by invitation, not by just saying you’re a member. It differs in this respect from our regular political parties, the Democrat and Republican parties. It is something like the difference between an open-communion church, which anyone professing belief in the Lord Jesus Christ can take communion, and a closed-communion church, where the communicant must be a recognized member before he is allowed to partake. This would mean that Oswald was not directly envolved in Comomunist activities, no matter how much he aspired to be, no matter how soundly, or unsoundly, he believed in Communist or Marxist doctrine. Only concrete evidence could establish Oswald as anything but a free agent, and as of now, this evidence has not been advanced. In 1958, then-Senator Lyndon B. Johnson gave a moving answer to the process of labeling in his copyrighted article “My Political Philosophy”. He said, and we quote, from the New York Times reprint, through the cooperation of The Houston Chronicle: “At the heart of my own beliefs is a rebellion against this very process of classifying, labeling, and filing Americans under headings: regional, economic, occupational, religious, racial, or otherwise. I bridle at the very casualness with which we have come to ask each other, ‘What is « your political philosophy?’ “I resent the question most often not because I suspect it of guile and cunning, but for its innocence, the innocence that confuses dogma with philosophy and presumes that the answer can be given in a word or two. Our political philosophies, I have found, are the sum of our life’s experience. God made no man so simple or his life so sterile that such experience can be summarized in an adjective. “Yet we seem bent today on reducing every man’s philosophy to a mere vital statistic, to the toext question asked—of professors, students, public officials, job applicants, business executives, labor leaders, and many more — after age, weight, height, and color of eyes and hair. \i “Inquiries of men philopophies do not fit this context.” Editorial written by Dick Heller TV PROGRAMS Central Daylight Time

LaPorte Teacher To Be Honored At Conference INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The daughter of an Indiana minister left today for an educational conference in New York City at which she will be one of 10 beginning teachers in the nation to be honored. Miss Joyce Bardsley, 21, a LaPorte Junior High School teacher, was the only Hoosier chosen for the program which is entitled “New Models in American Education.” 1716 conference is sponsored jointly by the National Education Association and the Magazine Publishers Association. Miss Bardsley will speak Wednesday on “Why I Chose Teaching.” She explained that her decision for a teaching career came when she was a high school student at Bourbon. Her father, the Rev Dale B. Bardsley, is a Methodist minister who has served several Indiana churches and currently is at Fairmount. Deserted College Level At first Miss Bardsley intended to be a speech teacher at college level, but her experiences as a student instructor in speech at the University of Minnesota convinced her it was no use trying to teach speech to people who couldn’t speak English. “Too many college students do not have a good English foundation,” she said. "I want to serve where I can do the most good as a teacher.” So she asked her former instructors at Ball State Teachers College, where she was a straight-A student, to recommend her for a job as an English teacher at junior high level. In January she began her new duties at LaPorte and English hasn't been the same since. For one thing, she believes in utilizing television instead of condemning it for its influence on children. i . She uses adaptations of several well-known television programs such as Concentration, Beat the Clock, Truth or Consequences, Password Tac-Toe, to review principles of good English. Cites Varied Techniques “I believe a teacher may use a variety of techniques to make a subject interesting,” she said. Miss Bardsley, a dark-eyed vivacious girl, said she finds that bored students are discipline problems but that busy students do not have time to be bored. Asked for her most serious disciplinary problem, she could think of none. She recalled, however, that she had thought she might have one when she undertook to convince some young girls they should not use excessive make-up. To her surprise, the girls quickly grasped her point that outsiders judge by first impressions and the impression they were making was not the one they intended.

Early Mailing For I Christmas Is Urged Postmaster John Boch said today, “Early mailing of all Christmas cards and gifts is the biggest single factor in getting all of the mail delivered before Christmas. Post office facilities have been expanded, ample help will be ‘ available, and everything is being geared up to handle a record Christmas, mail this year.” The entire Christmas mailing period is a big battle against time. Even though Christmas' is a month away by the calendar, it’s Christmas every day at the post office from now on. The postmaster advises, “Don’t take chances on mailing poorly wrapped packages. Use sturdy corrugated mailing cartons, plenty of wrapping paper and strong cord. Cartons containing several gift packages should be well stuffed with tissue or old newspapers to cushion the contents.” He said further, “If you have articles of unusual size or bulk, better check with the post office before attempting to mail them. The limits of size and weight of packages vary, depending on where you mail your packages from. , “Always send your Christmas' cards by first class mail, using the new five cent Christmas tree stamps, and be sure yoty Veturn name and address, including your ZIP code number, is on each Christmas card envelope. “Before you mail your Christmas cards, secure .free labels from the post office which read, “All For Local Delivery,” and ‘<All For Out Os Town Delivery.” so that you can sort your cards into two bundles, with the addresses all facing one way, thus expediting delivery. “Send all Christmas mail going long distances before December 10. Follow up, promptly with cards anjLgifts for local delivery. Mail ‘early and often’ for a merrier Christmas!” to increase our ability to serve shippers and bring in more revenue while reducing excessive rental payments for the use of other railroads’ cars.” '
