In case you are at a loss to know what we are discussing, and you might well be since it has been a year since we discussed It, we are talking of the map used in the timetable folders of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Last year, we found that Wawasee was on the map. But Syracuse was not. This, we thought, was not right. Syracuse is the town for Wawasee. It is the railroad station for Wawasee. Wawasee as a railroad station, no longer exists. If you doubt us, go out there and look. It just plain isn’t there. The depot itself, as a matter of fact, is now just this side of Benton on U.S. 33. But about that map. We complained to the Baltimore and Ohio about our not being on the map. We took Mr. Larry Sagle of the Baltimore and Ohio Public Relations Department to task, pointing out the many attributes of Syracuse, noting that this was the town and station, and adding that people riding on his railroad bought tickets to Syracuse. A lot of them. But none of them buy tickets to Wawasee. Mr. Sagle was sympathetic. He said it costs money to make maps. But, he said, the next time the Baltimore and Ohio made a map, he would see about getting us on it. And he did. We replace Wawasee, which

M&grassmots IS OPINION ELK GROVE, CALIF., CITIZEN: “In many climes and times, men have fought, and have died for the basic right of self-government—the right to vote. Especially Americans.” MAYVILLE, N. Y., SENTINEL: “When’s the last time you inspected the family medicine chest? .... For safety’s sake, clean it out and, at the same time, make sure you have stocked the basic necessities that are needed to protect your family—iodine and first-aid bandages, eyedrops, aspirin, smelling salts and salve for treating household bums.” • MOUNT DORA, FLA., TOPIC: “Using the excuse of ‘let the government pay for it’ is a fallacious one. Conscience should tell the waster of public funds that he is not cheating a mythical human being of great wealth, but he is cheating himself and his children.” • WASHINGTON, IOWA, EVENING JOURNAL: “Prediction: The new tax on tires and gasoline to build four-lane highways will be increased as the program advances, and the cause won’t toe a matter of costs. It’s just the way taxes work.”

sort of makes us feel sad, as we thought there was room somewhere to note “Syracuse—station for Wawasee.” And there apparently wasn’t. We think there is room for both Syracuse and Wawasee. There is in the flag of this newspaper. There is in the minds of a good many people around here. We have never joined the school of thought that Syracuse would prosper more if the name were changed to Wawasee. There’d be more confusion. And we’d have to ask to have the map changed again.

ABILENE. KAN., DAILY RE-FLECTOR-CHRONICLE: “ . . . Neil McElroy, president of Proctor and Gamble, who was chairman of the education conference . . . would have big corporations and private business provide more funds to help students through school and do away with as many government subsidies as possible. This is no complete solution, but it appears to be a better answer to the problem of reducing college costs than resorting to public funds.” • BASSET, VA., JOURNAL: “Not many months ago there were all kinds of dire predictions —many made for obvious political reasons—that agriculture was in for a Grade-A depression unless the government took new, drastic steps in the way of aid and subsidy. Those drastic steps were not taken. But agricultural prices have been coming back—in some cases by big percentages . . . .” • BELLINGHAM, WASH., HERALD: “The ‘farm problem’ has been with us for years. It has been aggravated by conditions of war peace. But experts who do not want to keep it before the people as a political football regard the program now in effect

What is a Teacher? 4 teacher is a sculptor who molds your child's mind. A teacher is an architect who blueprints your child's career. A teacher is a pioneer who explores your child's character. A teacher is a diplomat who negotiates with the future. A teacher .is a specialist in Education, yet is a social worjcer, a statesman, an interpreter, a prophet, a builder, a leader.
