Gwettaga from the halls of Cloverdale High! Either a groan or an “Oh good” came from the vocal cords of each CHS student as they received their report cards last Thursday with rfx-weeks grades, semester exam grades and final semester grades. Mr. Carter, Band Director, breathed a sigh of relief last Saturday about 4:30 p. m. All the solos and ensembles had

finished their performance and of the 75 entries, Mr. Carter was proud of 25 first, 46 seconds and 4 thirds. There will be 5 entries into the State Solo and Ensemble Contest at Butler, February 18.

Tasmanian Fire Takes High Toll Of Life, Property HOBART, Tasmania UPI — Acrid black smoke and the stench of death today hung over the island Australians called ‘God’s other Eden.” It now is a scorched hell. At least 55 persons were known dead and more than 700 homes and buildings destroyed in the catastrophic brushfires ravaging thousands of acres of Tasmania’s southern coast since Tuesday. The death toll was sure to escalate even higher as firefighters probed ruins and new blazes flared in the worst disaster tq strike this Australian island state off the mainland’s southern tip. The fires erupted in brush made tinder-dry by a 102degree heat wave. They swept in from the heavily wooded hills overlooking Hobart, the capital and wiped out 12 suburban communities within a 40-mile radius. The flames were propelled by 70-mile-an-hour winds. A whimpering dog with a singed coat patiently guarded a

child’s toy in » row ef gutted homes. The dog was the only living thing amid the ash and rubble. The families were missing and feared dead. Maimed sheep with charred woolly coats bleated sorrowfully on the roasted landscape. Tearful farmers burned their hands on hot rifle barrels as they shot thousands of injured livestock. Elsewhere, adults grabbed some 40 children and raced into the heavy sea to neck-depth. “Outside the water it was jet black just like night All you could see were red sparks flying through the air on the wind,” said one adult who spent two hours in the water.

Baby Will Be Born In Texas WASHINGTON UPI — “If and when” Luci Johnson Nugent has a baby, it will be in Austin, Tex., not at the White House, a spokesman said today. The President’s married daughter sold her husband, Patrick, who consider themselves “private citizens,” are househunting again in Austin. Luci, who is expecting her baby in May, wants a bigger place than the two-bedroom duplex apartment she and her husband now occupy at 1105 Heritage Way in a quiet, middle-class Austin neighbor-

hood.

Besides the ever-present secret service agents on round-the-clock watch, the Nugent household now includes three dogs—Luci’s beagle, Kim, one of Kim’s offspring, and a white mongrel puppy she picked up in Johnson City and named Ufy. She looks happy these days and Is beginning to wear maternity clothes, sources said. She won’t go anywhere without her dogs and even took them with her last weekend when she and her husband visited his parents at Waukegan, HL She has not seen her parents since they left Texas after the Christmas holidays, but they keep in touch by phone. The next big get-together for the family will be in late March when the Johnsons are expected to go to their ranch for Easter.

(By DICK WEST) WASHINGTON UPI —President Johnson’s news conference last week produced a brazen case of “news management” by the White House. Or anyway by somebody. At one point, in replying to a question by William H. Lawrence of American Broadcasting Co., the President distinctly said, “I can only speak for myself, John.” But when the official transcript was published, the sentence had been changed to read, “I can only speak for myself,

BiU.”

Now as you all know, everything that a President says is carefully scrutinized, analyzed, microscoped, spectographed, Xrayed, dissected, weighed, assayed and otherwise examined and evaluated by us newspaper-

men.

And when something like this happens, it makes our job twice as tough. The president’s remark to John or Bill if indeed he was addressing such a person and

not speaking figuratively Is

still a matter for intense specu- loped while pouring over

lation and conjecture.

A number of interpretations have been advanced as to what, if any, significance it might

have.

Some observers believe it was a case of mistaken identity. They say the president probably was under the impression that the question was asked by someone named John Lawrence.

is that the President was paraphrasing Priscilla Mullins’ quip to John Alden: “Why don’t you speak for yourself, John?” I personally subscribe to yet another theory which I deve-

the

transcript in search of veiled references and hidden mean-

ings.

I noted that shortly before he recognized Lawrence, the President answered a question by Garnet D. Homer of tha Washington Evening Star, whose nickname is Jack, which is ordinarily the nickname for

John.

This may have caused the

wrong name to pop out when he

replied to Bill.

Others point out that the president has known William H. Lawrence for years and regularly addresses him as “Bill.” They surmise that Johnson may have been flustered by Lawrence’s question and thus blurted out the wrong name. All of us experienced slips like that, as when you call your wife Gladys and her name |

actually is Samantha.

Seeks Probe Of Home Hazards WASHINGTON UPI — Sen Warren G. Magnuson, citing hidden dangers in everything from electric toothbrushes to bubble baths, has introduced a bill to launch a thorough-go-ing investigation of household hazards. “The consumer has a right to reasonable safety of the products which he purchases for his own use,” the Washington Democrat declared in asking Congress to set up a national commission on product safety and give it $2 million for an investigation.” Magnuson, chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, was joined in sponsoring the bill by Sen. Norris Cotton, NH., the committee’s ranking Republican. A similar measure was introduced last year but was not enacted. Since then, Magnuson said in a speech prepared for the Senate, he has received letters that went way beyond statistics produced last year in showing graphically the need for such legislation.

Weather Blamed For Jobless Hike INDIANAPOLIS UPI Weather was blamed by the Indiana Employment Security Division for much of a 9 per cent increase in unemployment compensation last week. Director Lewis F. Nlcollni said one reason the claims load climbed from 27,042 the week before to 29,475 last week was that many applicants were unable to reach division offices the week before because of snow. 17ie division also revealed Indiana’s mid-January employment total of 1,179,100 was down about 37,300 from December, but still nearly 89,000 above January, 1966, for non-agricul-tural employment. Part of the Decernber-Janu-ary decrease was the result of layoffs of extra help hired for Christmas business by retailers. Unemployment rose to an estimated 61,700 from 47,500 in December, but the seasonally adjusted rate dropped from 2.6 to 2.5 per cent
