J Parker Wood's 21 Central Improvement in Predicted by Book Publisher By MARY PRIME United Press Correspondent New York iU.R! One spelling expert says that today's young est generation, when grown, will have little need for a dictionary to check the spelling of words. W. MacLean Johnson, presi dent of Webster Publishing com pany, St. Louis, predicts that high school graduates will be telling parents how to spell, in stead of parents moaning about what poor spellers young people are. Johnson based his forecast on a new method of teaching. Schools began a new spelling program last year. So far, John son said, 5,000.000 children are learning by this new method. And in five years, Johnson ex pects most of the nation's schools will be using it, from the second grade through the eighth. Phonetics Base This new technique set down in a book called "New Goals in Spelling" combines sight and sound. A pupil is taught to think of the word in terms of sound, then of the letter that produces these sounds.

My wife's pets 8re driving me crazy. Karen F. Animals are better friends than people, v ... Oscar F. My wife is just crazy about pets and she is driv ing me out of the house. We have four cats and two dogs and birds, fish, turtles plus any stray animals my wife picks up for a couple of days or weeks. She loves to take care of sick animals, and the neigh bors bring her their pets for treatment. Once every few weeks we have a tragedy. Some animal has died or the cat has gotten at a bird. Then my wife is in hysterics and gets depressed for days. I like animals too, but I don't believe in cluttering up your whole life with them. It's got ten so I can't find a place to sit in the evening because the animals take up the best chairs. Karen F. Animals are better friends than people. They ap preciate you. They're grateful for everything you do for them. Sometimes I think my fish know me better than my husband. My husband is just as much of a bug on sports as I am on animals. I hate sports, but he'll spend hours and hours watching different games and matches on TV. He goes out to watch matchess a couple of nights a week and is always reading about sports. When we were first married. my husband used to just go out to his sports events without even i asking me what I was going to do for the evening. Of course, j I wouldn't go with him anyway. I but it used to be lonely. Now I wish he'd go out more and leave me with my pets. WINTER TERM o.c December 31 NEW CLASSES ARE NOW EEING ORGANIZED For People Who Want to Maka a Fresh Start in the New Year Modern Facilities Are Available DAY SCHOOL NIGHT SCHOOL 9:00 to 4:00 7:00 to 10:00 Mon. thru Fri. Mon. and Thurs. Robertson School of Business 40 N. Riverside Medford, Oregon Ph. 3-4264 DECIDE NOW TO KNOW HOW Spelling Dr. William Kottmeyer, assist ant school superintendent in St. Louis, and May Lambador, a Kansas City school teacher and principal for 30 years. Dr. Kott meyer said spelling actually is easy, because English comes near being phonetically perfect TBat is why the new method is based on phonetics, instead of the old rote-memory system. Publisher Johnson said educa tors discovered in the 1940's that spelling generally was taueht less well than two senerations earlier. An Illinois county re cently due out records of stand ard tests given to school children 40 and 50 years ago. Officials found that spelling was the only subject in which today's students were not doing better than their parents had done. Johnson became aware of the importance of spelling through his father, Waldo, who is credit ed with developing the work book method of teaching. The publisher said he had an eye opening experience in World War II, when he was a military censor. "Much of the spelling was homemade; many times so bad I couldn't figure out what the writer meant," said Johnson. One word frequently wrong was "where." "It came out spelled w-h-a-r, w-h-e-r,w-e-r.and even w-e-h-r-e," said the publisher. Is Johnson a good speller? "Well," he said, "I have a good secretary." Club Holds Party At Grigsby Home; Gifts Prepared Zonta club members com bined gift wrapping and a busi ness meeting at their annual Christmas party held Thursday night at the home of Mrs. Irean Grigsby, Jacksonville. This -year for its Christmas service the club will help a fam ily of ten with gifts of clothing, toys and food. The clothing and toys were gift-wrapped at the meeting. Mrs. Oletha Olson is chairman of the service com mittee in charge of the gift col lection and distribution. The members directed the treasurer to send money at once to the Zonta club in Vienna, Austria to be distributed by them for Hungarian relief. This is in conjunction with many other clubs in this country. Miss Josephine Kirtley ex plained the new changes in tha by-laws which the club ap proved. Dinner was served by the host ess, assisted by Mrs. Florene Bolton. Council Tht Council: These two people have grown so far apart that they are no longer even really living together. They are living with their separate interests and barely tolerate one another's ex istence. Karen feels she was driven to find companionship with animals because of her husband's over whelming interest in sports. But did she ever ask herself whether she didn't drive her husband to a greater and greater absorption in sports by withdrawing her own companionship from him? Interests can draw people to gether. They are also a means of separation from other people. When Karen showed disinterest and even hostility toward her husband's interest in sports, she forced him to use sports as a means of separation. The wall between the two grew bigger and stronger. The situation can probably still be saved if both Karen and Oscar acknowledge that they need one another. Instead of showing anger and hostility to ward the animals, Oscar, should show his wife that he wants her companionship and would be even more grateful for it than the dumb animals. Karen should realize that interests must be developed. She ought to go to some of the sports events with her husband. She'll find that any person can enjoy sports if she understands what is going on. Oscar would enjoy explaining things to her. When these two are brought closer together, Karen will have less need of animals and Oscar will probably like them better.
