We note that three of the finalists were in last year’s contest, with the runner-up, Ann Chapman, to be a strong contender this year for the title. Joyce Carpenter of Latham school beat her out by a hair last year. The 13 represent the best spellers and probably some of the best all-around students in our grade schools. 1 -a at year’s contest proved to doubting parents and the public that the so-called "modem system of education” with its “frills" ac tually does a good job of teaching the children. Their spell ing proved it. Last year youngsters spelled phonetically words far beyond their vocabulary. This year in finals held in the in dividual schools and witnessed by the Sentinel more young sters, as young as the fifth graders, did this again. They spelled by thinking out the sounds words the meaning of which they did not know. -Again, may we take off our hats to these 13 and urge the public to attend our Bee on the 7th and see the finalists at work.

It has been conservatively estimated that a driver or pedestrian who has been drinking is involved in one-fifth of these accidents. Any amount of alcohol in a person’s blood stream has adverse effects upon the abilities needed to drive a car. Both physically and psychologically a person is affected by al cohol in ways that make him less capable of driving safely. All the reactions, such as slow muscular reactions, co ordination, concentration, vision, control, confidence, etc. have been repeatedly established by experiments on human beings who have been given moderate amounts of alcoholic beverages. The net result of the effects of moderate amounts of alcohol on drivers may be summed up this way: The driver’s ability is worse than under normal condi tions but he is very likely to believe that it is better. Scien tific evidence proves his belief that he can drive better with a dnnk or two is a delusion responsible for accidents.

We were particularly interested in the line of attack on the American way of life by this weekly, since the weekly was more or less circumscribed sr to what it might say. Its pub lishers know they could not retain the weekly’s mailing privi lege and get violent on any subject. Our examination revealed that this weekly was devoting a major share of its editorial policy toward freeing the Rosenbergs, under death sentence as atom spies Its next major effort was trying to play up racial differences and last but not least the Guardian let it be known that its ed itors did not think much of either presidential candidate thereby following the opinion of Moscow. ed by the government, is not a l - . ways best for the welfare of the ' people. Further, laws passed by congress should not be circum vented by a head of a government bureau or by some cabinet mem ber. Citing the example of the FEPC, which takes away the right of the individual or firm to hire or fire employees as a basic ex ample of the violation of the indi vidual rights, the speaker assert ed his objection to a centralized government was to have the gov ernment try to solve individual problems. The objection to many federal housing projects is that they fill I only a partial need. Republicans object to such projects as the pro-1 nosed Columbia Valley Authority, | because the administration wants to appoint three men. The repub- ' licans believe that it would b e 1 more appropriate to let the states ' involved handle the affairs of the ' basin.
