HOMESTEADER SPECIAL?
CHKEH
THE 2-TONNE
BULLOCK CART
All inquiries fail to come up
with a local dealer for the bull
ock cart pictured above . . .
however, this is an advertise
ment from an English language
magazine published in New
Delhi, India in December. 1961.
News Service editors thought
this was such an interesting
contrast to the space age and
automation that they are show
ing it to their readers in their
summer issue. Despite articles
on new fertilizers, modern crop
production methods and mach
inery, this is a full page ad
giving all the features of what
seems to be a new type bullock
cart—obviously, a highly sale
able means of transportation.
Teaching Careers
Need Be Encouraged
Editor's Note: The follow
ing article was submitted by
Howard McCallister, teacher
in the Palmer School system,
and was written in obser
vance of Teaching Career
Month, which was observed
in April.
This nation needs an addi

Meller-Drama
Cast Enjoying
Rehearsais
Rehearsals for “True Blue
and Trusted", are being attend
ed with great gusto by the cast.
Laughs and giggles abound as
directors Keith Melendy and
Barbara Hamilton inflict their
peculiar brand of zaniness on
the already hilarious plot.
Sinister plans of the vile
creatures portrayed with ar
dent emotions by Harry Evans
and Ruth McCavit are foiled by
the overwhelming series of
events brought about by the
handsome hero, along with the
help of the open-handed weal
thy colonel, played by Jack
Dodge.
Ray Holtz, originally cast to
play the hero, has been replac
ed by Harold Newcomb. Holtz
was unexpectedly called Out
side and regretfully bowed out
of the play. However, adds the
directors, Newcomb eagerly
conceeded to play the hero role.
He has played in several Wasil
la Variety shows and after
viewing his rehearsal perform
ances the directors agree OUR
HERO will be a man well
worth watching.
Another member to be added
to the production is Emil Gans
chow who will handle the
lighting and the all-importanl
sound effects department.
Every adult in the valley
area is invited to the Elks

proper education for all our
citizens.
Although teaching is already
the largest of all professions in
the United States, employing
some 2,125.000 persons, there
is a definite need for another
240,000 teachers to replace
those leaving service, to serve
increasing enrollments, to re
lieve overcrowding, to elimin
ate part-time sessions, to give
instruction and services not
now provided, and to replace
the unprepared.
The pressing need for teach
ers has come about because of
the cont'nuous high birth rate
since the 1940's, the introduc
tion of programs for the men
tally and physically handicap
ped, the special services in the
public schools, a lowering of
the high school drop out rate,
and an increasing awareness
by high schol graduates that
they need additional education
to compete succesfully in to
day’s complicated world.
April marked the fifth obser
vance of Teaching Career
Month which was inaugurated
by the National Education As
sociation to call public atten
tion to the necessity for getting
and keeping the best possible
teachers for our nation’s
| schools.
Teachers of the Palmer Edu
cation Association join their
fellow educators across the Un
ited States in supporting the
six specific purposes of the
Teaching Career Month obser
vance.
1. To improve our nation’s
schools by providing increas
ing numbers of fine teachers;
2. To encourage larger num
bers of qualified young people
to consider teaching as a car
eer;
3. To influence the most
competent teachers to remain
in the profession;
4. To inspire teachers to
speak up for their profession
and encourage others to con
sider teaching as a career;
5. To inform parents and the
general public of opportunities
and rewards the teaching pro
fession offers today’s youth;
and
6. To show' that for our na
tion’s survival, teaching must
■ be the pre-eminent profession
in American life.
