Letters to the Editor Nels John Person
Hats O ff to S p elling F in alists
The Cottage Grove Sentinel this week takes off its hat
to the 13 finalists from grade schools in this area who will
compete Friday in the second annual Spelling Bee conducted
by this paper.
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.

More than 35,000 people are killed in automobile acci
dents in an average year in the United States. 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.

j&d an opportunity recently to examine a copy of
the Guardian, a communist weekly published id New York.
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

Citing the example of the
