The girl ended her five-minute plug with a blast against the Republicans' "sorry record"-and a bid to those of voting 1 age to elect Kennedy for his "courage, high principles and new ideas." A 9 Hotel Operator Pays Taxes for Townspeople Rockport, Mo.-fllTO-Few are quicker than George Opp when it comes to picking up ; the tab. And when he pays, everyone benefits. That's what happened when Opp, a hotel operator and farmer in this Northwestern '. Missouri community, paid ev eryone's city taxes 'for the year. The bill amounted to : $19,209. ' : Philanthropy Revealed Mr. and Mrs. Opp, who have operated the hotel here for 38 i years, had hoped to remain anonymous benefactors of the ; city.. But their philanthropy ; was revealed Friday when citizens began asking why the ; city tax bills for the year had not been mailed. ; "This thing sure has boom- - SELECT NOW. Have your name imprinted m a, mam - eranged into something," Opp said today. "But this was just something I felt I ought to do. "In the put, I've tried to pick out families and indi viduals who needed financial help and give it to them," he explained. "But I couldn't de cide where to draw the line, and I felt I had overlooked some. ; "So I decided that by taking care of the city . taxes this year, I could help everyone out." : . treat Funds Donated Last year Opp donated $T, 000 to the city for a street improvement program, which now has started. .. When word spread that Opp had paid the city taxes for Rockport's 1,380 residents, Mayor Wayne Peck issued a proclamation suggesting that citlena wishing to express their appreciation contribute the amount they would have paid in taxes to a special fund. Money from the fund, he said, would be used to provide improvements for the city which would 'be impossible otherwise. .-. ;.

Heat-by-Wire (NOT FIRE) school and I'm afraid the longer he goes, the more he'll feel it's a waste of time. : Just because he grins and bears it, his father wants to leave well enough alone. But why wait for him to rebel -especially when there's some thing we can do. . There's an excellent private school in the neighborhood, with small classes and many more subjects. With a slight strain on our budget, we could swing it for Lewis. But my husband says it would make him namby-pamby. ; Mr. M. G. - If you're going to cater to every whim of a child, how will he ever learn to face life? My wife and I went to nub. lie schools and they didn't hurt us. Sure, it would have been nice to study ballroom dancing and horseback riding ana nave me teacner pat you on tne Back more often. But we managed. We learned to do things by ourselves and stand on our own feet early in life. . . .,, v Maybe doing errands for the teacher and, washing her blackboards is good for Lewis! If he's really so bright, maybe he'll invent an easier way to wash them. I say let him fit himself to the school he's in. not look for a school to fit itself to him. That's not the way the world works. . The Councili Without realiz ing it, perhaps, Mrs. G has aligned herself with propo nents of the newest wrinkle in education: using the school to prevent trouble rather than repair it later. More and more, delinquency and mental illness are being attacked 'way back on the . earliest frontiers, before they begin to take shape. And the fourth grade is none too early. The issue isn't public versus private schools. Eminent and productive men have come out of both types. Barring in human obstacles, a gifted per son with a strong drive to suc ceed will come through, some times with no school! But the important question for the G.'s is: What is this school doing for this child? It's wasting him. If there were no alternative, he could take up the slack on his own as he is doing. ' But to him school would be a place where you loaf and wait for the bell so you can get out and really learn things ln your . spare time. You boondoggle in school, " v-;";. - If there's a school available that is geared to the needs of gifted, imaginative children, Lewis should go to It. His are the treasures that require challenge to grow to their full value. And facing him with the challenge of new courses, equally talented classmates, attentive and enthusiastic teachers, Isn't pampering him. It's giving him the load he's equipped to carry. Incidentally, Mr. G. has a false picture of private schools because classmates are more homogeneous. The ex tremes of wealth, brains and talents aren't usually so con spicuous. Chances are the "poor kid" in a public school feels more forlorn than the less-moneyed one in a private school where distinction may be gained by achievement rather than possessions. At any rate, the construc tive attitude toward schooling for Lewis is to send him where his special needs are best met. If he were retarded o r physically handicapped, Mr. G. would have no hesita tion sending him to a special school. Just because he's os tensibly "well" Is no reason tor ignoring his inner unrest. Sweater Buyen Advised to Check Lincoln, Neb. - When buy ing a sweater, . check for straight seams in front, back and sleeves, advise clothing specialists at the University of Nebraska. The seams should be stitch ed securely and covered to keep cut edges of fabric from raveling. Seam ends should be fastened securely. Tape at neckline and shoulders helps sweaters retain their shape.

' Price of Corrugated Products Increased San Francisco - IUPD - Fibre board Paper Products Corp. has announced-a 10 per cent increase in prices on corru gated products, effective Jan. 1, 1981. The firm said the increase approximately restored prices to those in effect before a reduction in March, 1958. It said heavy cost increases, in cluding about 50 per cent in crease for labor, made the increase necessary. Missing Roundup Worker Returns Lakcview-IIIPD - Tom Free man of Plush, reported mis sing Sunday while on a cattle roundup ln the Hart Mountain region, Tuesday returned safe ly to the Warren Laird ranch where he is employed. Freeman, who disappeared ln a snow storm, was the ob ject of an air search. Lake County Deputy Sheriff Lin Jones and Myron Russell, owners of a local air service, conducted the search. him. . . A search for wreckage ol the Gulf accident began im mediately after the crash and continued for more than two weeks without success. . f the CAB will be unable to de termlne whether the plane was sabotaged or crashed for some other reason. Sabotage was suspected on the Tampa to New Orleanes flight Nov. 16, 1950. All 36 passengers and five crew members died. No trace of the plune ever has been found except for an oil slick and small debris. Dash of Mystery A dash of mystery was add ed to the crash when Robert Spears, self-proclaimed na turopath with a criminal rec ord dating back to World War I, who was supposed to be on the plane, was found alive later ln Arizona. The estranged wife of Wil liam Allen Taylor, a Tampa salesman, claimed Spears had hypnotized her husband into taking the flight. Taylor took out $37,000 in airline Insur ance nine minutes before the plane departed although his name was not on the pas senger list.' Explosives were reported to have been found In Spear's luggage when he was arrested In Phoenix. Spears, 65, was sentenced to five years for taking Tay lor's car from Florida to Ariz ona. He was given a one to five year sentence in Los An geles, to be served at the end of the car term, for perform ing illegal surgery. Explosion Determined Donald Loomis, Spear's co defendant in the Los Angeles abortion trial, claimed that Spear's lawyer was Julian A Frank, a New York attorney who was killed with 33 other persons in the crash of a Na tional Airlines DC6B ln North Carolina last Jan. 6.
