Intentional Failure By Good Student Result of Pressure . By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist ,', Occasionally an outstanding Itudent may bring home un--: usually low grades on his re port car. The child intention ally failed a test or missed answers. Don't be surprised. This unfortunately is a prob " leni in some schools. J The basis of the problem is ' social pressure. The feeling is that other children will not be friendly with a good stu ' dent. They will make him an , outsider. This is strong pres sure for any pupil. This type of problem us ually is started by students who are not doing well in their own school work. They .are trying to build their own stature. The problem becomes serious when the better stu dents do poorly so thaty they ' can be part of the group. It is important to teenagers to be liked. ' Recognition Not Easy Parents will not find it easy to recognize this prob lem. Their child will not read ily admit he intentionally got poor grades. You will only ' be able to tell by observing an unusual drop in marks without any obvious reason. ' If you think this problem ex ists don't waste any time in ' getting it. corrected. There are various factors to be considered. It is not a .minor difficulty for a child to work out. If he believes his acceptance depends upon be : ing a poor student, there cer- WEEKEND SPECIALS! 5' STEP A85 LADDERS fj ' STEP $62 LADDERS Dutch Boy Paint Store 401 E. 4th tainly can be an effect upon his grades. As a parent you should have a talk with your child. Explain that such actions are wrong and not really the an swer. The student who has the ability to be outstanding has a responsibility to him self and society to achive at his best possible level. Should Not Brag The question will arise as to how he can keep his friends. Perhaps he is partilly at fault. He should not have a superior attitude because of his success as a student. He should not brag. Of course it is not something to be asham ed of or hide. It might also be explained that there is no great loss by not being a part of this type of group. This is fine if there are other groups for companionship. The school should be' made aware of this situation. This can be done through the school guidance counsellor or other school officials. Teach ers can avoid making 'com parisons in the classroom. When a child is held up as an example for others to fol low, jealously can make him the point of this social pres sure. Other parents can help. They can discuss the prob lem with their children. Per haps such a cooperative effort may be successful. The PTA may be able to sponsor such an approach. The problem obviously is a difficult one to recongize and correct. The most effective approach is probably through helping your child . under stand and face the problem. , VANITY SATIFIED Los Angeles-OIPD-A 33-year. old woman, whose driver's license was revoked for "fraudulent conduct" because she told the department of motor vehicles she was 25, Thursday sought in court to have it restored. Mrs. Sumi Valla said she gave the false age to "satisfy my vanity and for no other reason."

(UPI) not quite as big as this monstrous model In Groups for Safety Clean-Cut Men Making Out of Careers as Folk By DICK WEST Washington (UPI) I can re member when a folk singer was a guy who wore dirty un dershirts. H e played the guitar "by e a r," which probably sounded b e t ter than if he had used his hands. He could sing all 102 verses of west "Lonesome Freight Train" and insisted on doing so. In some states, this was recognized as grounds for divorce. Almost every community had a folk singer, along with a town drunk and village id iot. In many communities, all three of them were the same fellow. ' Folk singers performed mainly in talent shows staged in the high school gymnasium to raise money for the volun teer fire department. They war not paid foi these appearances, but as a reward for their services they were allowed to start two fires. Fortunes Singers S3L2. OUR LOT IS PACKED WE'LL MAKE YOU THE DEAL OF A LIFETIME!

Riverside TRAILER SALES Ken Bowser, Manager 773-3732 All of this, as anyone who has looked out the window lately is aware, has drastically changed. Folk singers now travel in groups, partly for harmony and partly for safe ty. Clean-cut young men in Ivy League clothes, who studied business administration in col lege, are making fortunes by musically recounting the mis fortunes of immigrant coal miners. . Their link with the working class is authentic, however. They have calluses on their string plucking fingers and they wear, union-made neck ties. Which are real sincere. As much as any group, and more than most, the Kingston Trio is responsible for the folk music transformation. Having been together for five years now, the Kingstons are re garded as the elder statesmen of the new breed. Thit makes them a prime target ot the traditionalists, ", as I found out in the course of a talk with the Kingstons, who are appearing her this week. "Everybody is a self-aP' pointed folk music expert nowadays," said guitarist Nick Reynolds. "Right now it s very 'in' to put us down as prostitutes of folk music." . "If we so much as add an E-minor to 'Dear Betsy,' they picket our next concert, said guitarist Bob Shane. "With some of them, folk music is almost like a reli gion," said guitarist John Stewart. "If they served com munion at concerts, half of the audience would be up at the rail." . " , The mention of religion started a discussion of the ris ing popularity of gospel sing ers on the night club circuit. "A bartender told me that people drink more during gos pel songs than at any other time," said Frank Werber, the trio manager. "Almost any day now I expect to see some cabaret change its name to the 'First Baptist Saloon'." 31 Hospitalized In Gas Explosion Hastings, England fUPIl At least 31 persons were hospital lzed today with Injuries in curred during three huge gas explosions along this channel resort town's waterfront Thursday. Authorities estimated that the series of blasts injured a total of SO persons and de stroyed the homes of 30 fam ilies. The explosions were be lieved caused by a broken gas main. "The scene looked like a wartime bombing raid," one eyewitness said. Most of the victims were vacationers cut by flying glass. Police said the first explo sion rocked the Winchester restaurant and set it afire. Ten minutes later another blast ripped through two houses on the waterfront, fol lowed by a third explosion in another restaurant down the street. A hotel, shops and still an other restaurant were heavily damaged by the explosions and fire, police said. Showers Soak Southern Plains; Streets Flooded United Press International Showers soaked the south ern plains today, but a crop stunting drought continued its rise toward the danger level across the Midwest. Light drizzle fell in south ern Kansas and eastern Okla homa and northward into parts of Iowa, North Dakota and Minnesota during the night. Thunderstorms swept Georgia and Florida. Heavy rains Thursday sent creeks and streams surging down the main streets of many Kansas and Oklahoma towns. Gypsum, Kan., was hardest hit, with about five feet of water spilling from Gypsum creek after a 12-inch rainfall. About 18 inches of water filled the streets of Durham, Kan. Numerous highways were closed across Kansas, and National Guardsmen aid ed residents in flooded areas. The Weather Bureau said up to a seven-foot overflow was expected at Towanda, Kan., on the Whitewater riv er. The Chikaskia river at Blackwell, Okla., and the Cot tonwood river from Marion to Emporia, Kan., were expected to reach or exceed flood stage. The heavy rainfall measure ments Included 9.43 inches at Hillsboro, Kan., and more than 6 ',2 inches at Enid and Blackwell, Okla. But the Kan- sas downpours failed to help the southwest part of the state where crops have been, hard est hit by the drought.- Nearly 2 13 inches were reported in six hours at Vero Beach, Fla.. and 70-mile-an- hour winds' whipped quarter- inch hall and more than one inch of rain in less than an hour at Lamar, Colo. - Many sections of the Mid west sought federal aid to ease a drought that has curtailed crops and disrupted planting schedules. Second Cover Spray on Pears To Be Applied The second cover spray on pears should be applied as soon as a spider mite spray is needed or by July 25, accord ing to Dr. Peter Westigard, entomologist Southern Oregon Experiment Station, and C. B. Cordy, county extension agent. This should be the last spray for codling moth and psylla, they said. For .orchards with a crop, it Is recommended that six pounds of Guthion and a4 pint of 40 per cent TEPP be used per acre in not to exceed 300 gallons of water. This should be applied on a quiet, sunny day when temperatures are above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. This will control codling moth and psylla for the remainder of the season. However, to control spider mites it will be necessary to repeat the TEPP spray in three to five days spraying down every other tree row, they said. If maximum tem peratures are below 80 de gree Fahrenheit, the time in terval should be increased to seven days. , On winter varieties, the ad dition of seven pounds of Zi- ram per acre on winter vari eties will help reduce storage rots, Cordy said. Where there are not enough Bull, Car Involved In Highway Mishap An accident involving a black Angus bull and a car was reported on the Sams Val ley highway 15 miles from Gold Hill yesterday, state po lice reported. The bull was owned by James C. Wilson, route 1, box 578, Eagle Point. . . The car was driven by Jack Marshall Blake, 45, of 1050 Southeast N. St., Grants Pass, officers said. The hood of a car driven by Gladys Agnes Davis, 64, of route 1, box 203, Gold Hill, was damaged when a tractor with shovel and back hoe and the car met head-on at Depoe and Madrone sts. in Rogue River yesterday, state police said. The tractor was operated by Orville Ray Mllburn, 31, of 1900 Regina Way, Grants Pass, police said. fruits present to muke a crop. a spray ... of five pounds of Guthion. and H pint of 40 per cent TEPP per acre is suggested. This should control psylla and hold codling moth, within reasonable bounds. A second spray of TEPP will be required to control mites. It is pointed out that as TEPP is an organic phosphate, it should be used with care by the operator and with consid eration for others. .
