S.1 r i i VertU'VS EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY LAKEVIEW ThiSTimazinr-town of 2400 per sons turned out a crowd of 4000 or mora for the commissioning of the naval auxiliary air facility at the Lakevicw airport Sunday, and the ceremonies were staged in metropolitan style. How they do it only Lake : county people understand, but i it is widely known over Ore- son and the Pacific coast that Lakeview is a miracle town ; in matters of hospitality and ; civic doings. This writer will never for-i Set the initial meeting of the Order of the Antelope back in 1932, when food, bedding, gas-1 ollne and other supplies for 100 men were hauled over unbelievably tough mountain roads to a remote high desert spot where the "convention" was held. Most of us consider it a hard job to arrange for a conven tion in a city where there are hotels and res taurants, but Lake county folk for years staged highly successful conventions 75 miles from the nearest hotel and what a 75 miles! i Well, that was the spirit that prevailed in the planning and execution of Sunday's com missioning ceremonies, which were in charge of the Elks lodge. The Elks arranged a special ritual for the occasion, and the lodge officers memorized their parts. The Singing Sentinels of the Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation yard at Portland, and local school talent, provided the music, and the whole thing was carried off in fine style. But the remarkable thing was the crowd totaling probably two times the official census population of Lakeview. A newly constructed dirt road provides access to the field, and cars were stretched along that road for miles, e e e e Community Asset THE Lakeview facility is not especially im pressive in size and appearance as compared with bigger air stations elsewhere, but Lake view people are justly proud of it, for it means 'kfine airport development that could not other wise be achieved by a community of that size without a heavy debt burden. At the same time, it gives Lakeview a small military installation and a chance for that type of contact with the war effort. I Re-fueling and re-arming planes based at the Klamath naval air station is the principal f unc- tion of the Lakeview facility. It is to be en larged with expenditures of about $300,000, and the added features will be a control tower, nan- -gar, and bigger warm-up apron. The excellent field at Lakeview may con tribute to an important transportation rela tionship with Klamath Falls in the future when commercial aviation is expanded. The two cities have always had close trade relations, which may be intensified by quick air travel between . them. - This writer was fortunate enough to ride to Lakeview in one of the planes that came over for the commissioning. It took us just 23 min utes from' Klamath to Lakeview. It is a journey . that offers sights both interesting and beautiful, and the traveler making it for the first time is impressed with the many lakes and ponds that dot the landscape. Such water is in sight for the entire distance. sees. Suit Field it may not be officially dubbed that now, some Lakeview neoDle call the air. port suit Held. That is in honor of Dr. Michael Suit, Lake view dentist who pioneered aviation there and is now a prisoner of war of the Japanese. Dr. Suit went early into active service in this war and was taken in the Philippines. ' He is an enthusiastic flier who hopped over the high desert country with great delight and promoted a great deal of local interest in avia tion here. I have seen his plane land on the dry bed of Spanish lake, high in the Hart moun tain desert country, carrying visitors and sup plies to the above-mentioned Antelope conven tion, e Football and Planes YOU'LL be interested in this little story. While we were waiting at the airport for the return plane, three torpedo bombers came mho me neia. Tftey taxied around to the warm up apron and lined up. The motors stopped and the filers climbed out. One of them immediately produced a foot ball. The fellows peeled off their flying jackets, and for the better part of an hour while the planes were serviced they tossed and kicked that football around, taking passes on the run, . kicking off, and doing Just about everything but tackle on the hard-surfaced apron. Here were these American boys, engaged in the grim business of war, with the armed ma chines of war standing right there with them, spending their spare time in the innocent and thoroughly American pastime of tossing a foot ball around. It reminded us that, despite the awful duty which these youngsters must per form, they are after all just American kids at heart. see Can't Be Done LET us conclude this column on the note on which it started paying tribute to the heart-warming hospitality and good will of the people of Lake county. It is getting to bo quite widely talked in navy circles, for it is unlikely the navy has iny facility anywhere in a place like Lakeview. This writer has participated in efforts at Klamath to repay Lakeview hospitality in kind. It can't be done. SIDE GLANCES News Behind the News , By PAUL MALLON A ASHINGTON, May 21 The final destruc- YY tion of the intellectual position of the progressive education trust has been accom plished by the Birmingham, Alabama, Teachers association bulletin. What happened there is a typical example applicable in varying degrees to the rest of the country. The trust crowd was power ful and dominant and went af ter mo roughly for my persist ent proofs that they had broken down discipline and scholarship in the schools and weakened the country intel lectually with their disregard of facts-and-figures education, MALLON and their "greater-fxeedom-for-pupils" system. An assistant superintendent, Theodore R. Wright, went before a First Methodist church forum with the most preposterous conceivable accusations against me although I received my fundamental education in his elementary schools there thirty odd years ago. He went to the right place to make such scurrilous and piti ful defense of his new system, because the crime of progressive education is equally great against all churches, and all religion. You cannot teach free-running children to practice self-indulgence in the schools, and ex pect them to be good Methodists or good any things. The theories of self-indulgence and re ligious self-discipline are incompatible. I will handle him and his kind later in detail. They turned my newspaper there against me with deceptions. A local columnist named Feidleson wrote that I was a rather despicable person anyway because I was against the New Deal (presumably the one Mr. Roosevelt an nounced was dead many months ago). One edi torial writer twisted my remarks to make it appear I was against the teachers, trying to get the teachers to turn against me. Although the newspaper has published my column . on page one, column one for 12 years, the editors were forced or' induced to remove it to an in side page, as if to let the trust say: "That will finish you, young fellow." mmm -WHrl SEP ET S-37. Long Term Senate 31? ?? n M "He said raffling off those antiques in the attic was an idea he got at the church bazar, so I let him off with a lecturer'. Practices of Villainy DO you recognize these tactics? They are the common practices of villiany, the corrupt tactics of political machines, the kind of Intel lectual dishonesty, you hardly expect of men 'assigned to teach ' truth and honor to the chil dren of the nation. But they are also signs of weakness. If they had any sound ground on which to stand, they would have displayed it, yet not a single inclina tion for honest denial of my facts appeared. After all that campaign, the. Birmingham Teachers association bulletin has just completed a poll of teachers there on the question: "Do you in general agree or disagree with the Paul Mallon articles on education that have recently been appearing in the daily press?" Every tenth teacher whose name appeared in the telephone book was called and assured her name would not be divulged. The bulletin says: "Four of the teachers hesitated to give their decision, until reminded no names would be used, then said: " 'Oh well, I agree with Mr. Mallon then.' " see Poll In Agreement THE poll showed 79 per cent of the high' school teachers in agveement with me, 22 out of the 28 polled. Only three disagreed and three would not commit themselves. , Of the 50 elementary grade teachers called, 22 were favorable to my position, 16 unfavor able, and nine on the fence. The BTA bulletin comments: "In general, those who taught the lower grades were nearly unanimous in condemnation of the Mallon articles, while those who taught the higher of the elementary grades were more likely to agree with him." , As a whole, 56 per cent of the teachers agreed, 24 per cent disagreed, while 19 per cent said they were not familiar with my articles or that they were on the fence and could not say either way. In short Mr. Wright's own teachers deny him. , heading bU"6tln published lts PoU "nder a cisra."358100"1 TeaCh"S Uph0ld Mallon Crlt It concluded: The ones whose actual Job It Is to do the ' .UVWIAUU Market Quotations NEW YORK.
