SCHOOL. TO BEGIN NEXT TUESDAY.
More than a hundred bright and shiny faced youngsters, all tog-1
ged out in their u -st cans and d resses will be* off Tuesdayon the
greatest adventur. of their young lives—their first day of school.
We wish them well in this new field ofendeavor. Gone for them
are the days of happy, carefree moments at the side of their mo
ther. Now they go out into a regimented, work-a-day world. A
worlfl filled with a great deal of anxiety, stre ss and strain, a big
world filled with millions of little problem s. Yet, that is all a
part of growing up. Because there are days in school that are
good too—filled with laughing, and playing, and in satisfaction in
a job well dono.
There probably isn't one of us adults who could watch a young
ster walk off to his first day of school without a tear in his heart,
and yet, who among us would want to go through all that again?
One hundred new faces in the Brookings-Harbor school system,
And only 30 graduated last spring from high school. That means
that somewhere inbetween we have just lost another two c l a s s -
rooms.
It seems highly illogical that those hundred youngsters are go
ing to have to face the double shift sessions in our system. We,
as parents, as as community leaders can't feel too proud of our
selves this day, as we see our children's education cut sharply
in half because of a lack of classroom s. Does it seem fair to you
that in this day of supposed progress and enlightenment, that our
children should only have half the education that we ourselves had?|
A dollar is a most important piece of paper. A tax dollar is
an even more important piece. Yet, a child's education is very
important too. As the months of crowded classroom s roll by, it
seems that some of us will be shamed into doing something con
structive to allieviate the situation.
Under the existing conditions these hundred Brookings-Harbor
youngsters, entering school for the first time, have a very tough
row to hoe. We repeat again, we wish them well.
ITS WORTH KNOWING.
I suppose there is nothing more
self-satisfying than being able to
proclaim before the world ones
firm and abiding faith in an inst
itution or a principle. The ex
perience is a particularly enjoy
able one if the stand happens to
be in agreement with the m ajor
ity of those with whom he assoc
iates.
Happily there are many contro
versies existing today which af
ford everyone the opportunity of
taking a popular stand. Enough
of these exist as to make it un
necessary for one to stand up for
anything which might offend his
neighbors. Thus one may air his
views relative to flouridating the
drinking water, the relationship
of smoking to cancer, or the tie-
in between juvenile and parental
delinquency.

1 think it must be true, because I've heard it said at l e a s t
five time in the past week. You've got to get away from Brook
ings for a spell, in order to appreciate what nice country, and
what a nice climate we do have. I'll go along with that, but who
is going to pay my expenses out so I can look back objectively at
Brookings. I’ll already petitioned the Rotary club to send me to
Milwaukee to cover the World Series for them this year. It would
be a fine club project.

Paul Fauerso, Vern Bloomquist and a few others were telling
me about Westport, in Washington. It is, they say, simply load
ed with tourists, and boats, and fishermen. Thousands come to
Westport from all over the state, and on weekends you would be
lucky if you can even park within a half mile of the harbor. The
only thing different between Westport and Brookings is that they
got started a little sooner—and they have a few more people in
the immediate area.

There has been a lot of yakking about a proposed trailer court
north of town near the Richfield station. Personally, alt r gn ,ng
it some thought I don't think it is such a bad idea. We do ne ,1
investment capital here, and there a-e a lot of worse things than
a tra ile r home. It wasn’t too long ago that a trailer still carried
a stigma of m igratory w orkers, etc. but now-u-davs, a trail r
is the ultimate in luxuarv. Some of the new ones are so -lassy
that I would be afraid to walk in them without first taking if mv
shoes. I have been wrong before, but I don't think that a trailer
park in Brookings would be in the least bit objectionable. We
have ample space in Brookings for further business buildir.r , -
that should be no object. The chief thing in the matter is that’th,
property is zoned correctly, so what's the argument. It might
have raised a beef from this corner if the zoning law.« .vouldl , •

The rodeo and horse show will

The garden and floral show -
always one of the big attractions
at the fair - will be bigger and
better than ever this year. The
garden area has been completely
redesigned with a new colonnad

feature. A pool and a lagoon
beautifully designed gardens bv
some of the sta te 's leading land
