SCHOOL PRINCIPALS aren't bad eggs. Neihier Ate 3nay hardciulind. WHipwwinging monsten,

CAFE TY OTRO OF DORIAN XY has been fellowing. Several. casual introductions revealed principals to be like other people, a fact which would make me happy when there wasn't much of anything ‘to be happy about. On those dull, dog days. George F. Ostheimer, principal of ‘School 12, 3 8. West St, didn't act surprised that someone came in to chat. He said a great number of visiHard to believe. All my previous trips to a principal's office, and

‘+ there were many, were the principal's idea. Men-

tioned that to Mr. Ostheimer.

Didr't Have an Apple

“NONSENSE,” chuckled the boss of 0:12, “I'l wager you were an honor student.” And me without an apple. ‘ He said I could stick around the office as long as I liked, ask questions; do anything except create a disturbance during classtime. Strange he should bring up - the subject,” especially “when he was s0 sure I had been an honor boy. “What do you do?” was my first question. Often wondered how a principal earned his dough. Mr, Ostheimer said he was charged with the

He could look directly out on the hall. “I have to call a father about his 12-veanql

boy,” said ‘the principal. “The boy is downright lazy. We've done everything we can, now it's up to

the father,” The conversation went along rather well as far as I could tell. Action would be taken.

“When the parents and school get together,! there is no problem that can't be worked out,” said Mr. Ostheimer. “But when we*disagree, that's!

“Is the father going to talk to thé boy?” “I think he's going to do a little more than talk. Something we can't do here,” answered the principal. Oh, Two young boys, who had required the atten.) tion of Mr. Ostheimer several times, came in. Not, of their own choice.’ “What was the matter this noon? Who hit you in the nose?" Although the nose was a cherry red and looked} as it were ready to explode, the boy had difficulty understanding what Mr. Ostheimer was talking about. Nose? Fight? Naw, it didn't hurt. He couldn't rémember exactly who he was “playing” with. No, they weren't fighting. The second boy, who had a penchant for picking plaster, loose or otherwise, off the walls, didn't| know a thing about the new crop of holes. Maybe the plaster is no good. Oh, brother. Never again would he pick plaster. He promised that, didn't he? “Before he took a liking to plaster, he used to pull girls’ hair,” sighed Mr. Ostheimer. Well, at least the kid isn’t in a rut. He called four other principals about not scheduling additional night meetings during the coal crisis. Complying with the relay system, the four would each call four and it wouldn't be long before the central office ybulietin- would -be in all schools,

Howdy Doody

DENVER, Colo., Nov. 8—I suppose you might call this the wild, crude, uncultured West, because subways are strangely missing, and deplorable to state, there is no television. Think of it. Little children growing to manhood without benefit of Howdy Doody. The under-privileged children of Denver romp go fishing in the streams, and assault each other with clubs on the playing field — which keeps them healthy—but their cultural life sags, and they all will probably achieve adulthood with king-sized inferiority complexes. There is no Milton Berle in their lives—no spavined hoss-operas, no delightful beer commercials with dandy, summable ditties extolling the high octanage of the brew. It is a source of considerable scientific wonderment that Denver's delinquency has not soared to lead the nation, since it has been pretty well

established that parenthood never had a chance to _

function properly before the miracle of the coaxial cable. At least, the delightful murders and mayhems, not to mention rassling and roller derbies, have been of more solace to mamas and papas than the birchen rod and the progressive kindergarten.

I WAS PRESENT recently, in the East, at a home in which television is“regularly inflicted on the innocent guests and observed. a series of programs designed to imbue the. kiddies with peace and caim, and send them happily to bed to dream of good fairies and sugar plums. First we had Berle, and then we had three “suspense” type dramas. Drama No. 1 dealt with a man who invented a mechanical monster inorder _to have a perfect companion at chess. I presunt® the monster caught this inventor cheating, because he strangled him for all to see with his ingenious, Stainless- steel claws.
