Tribulations
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK CP — Remarks that
school teachers get tired of hear
ing:
duties, Miss Elmo, we expect you
to act as chaperon at school dances,
put on three plays a year, and act
as career counselor. We sure would
appreciate it, too, if you could
help take tickets at the football
games this fall.”
“Well, yes, you have the ex
perience all right, but speaking
frankly, we’d hoped to get a
younger teacher with a more ad
vanced degree After all. the job
pays $3,650 a year.”
“We realize you have to make
both ends meet, Mr. Johnson, but
I’m afraid we can’t countenance
moonlighting. It just doesn’t look
right for a high school civics tea
cher to hold a job on the side as
a night watchman’”
“I think you’ll find us a pretty
liberal school board, Miss Elmo. We
haven’t burned a library book in
three — no, I think it’s four years.”
“My teacher used to hit my
palm with a ruler if I couldn’t
spell a word. You won’t do that
to my little Oswald, will you?”
“This is by no means a hide
bound community, Miss Elmo, but
I think you’d make a bigger hit
with the parents if you — uh —
wore a little less makeup and —
uh—didn’t use a cigarette holder
in public.”
“Yes, Mr. Johnson looks harm
less enough now, but my cousin
knew him in college and says he
was always circulating petitions
for something or other — I forget
what.”
“Ain’t you the new schoolmarm.
ma’am? Whatcha got on for to
night? I’m free as a bird.”
“Johnson, whats this nonsense
youve been giving my wife about
my boy being socially shy? I’ve
told that kid a dozen times I’d
break every bone in his head if
he didn’t speak up in class when
it was his turn.”
“I admit we’re paying you less
than the town dog catcher, Mr.
Johnson — but he's the mayor’s
brother-in-law, and besides, he has
to work all summer.’
“My child never acts that way
at home. If he didn't learn it here
at school, where did he learn it?”
“We’re proud to have you, Miss
Elmo, but I guess nobody will ever
take the place of Miss Greene in
our hearts. She served in our
school system for 45 years — until
she retired this summer and en
tered an old ladies’ home with the
money she'd saved.’

Drop in Unemployment
WASHINGTON •*» — Unem
ployment fell by a half million
during August to 3.9 million
throughout the country, the Labor
Department reported today.
The department’s Bureau of La
bor Statistics termed the drop
about what was expected at this
time of year.
Gertrude Bancroft, special as
sistant to the Commissioner of La
bor Statistics, told a news confer
ence the total was the lowest in
unemployment statistics since 3.8
million was registered last De
cember.
However, she noted, the season
ally adjusted unemployment rate
for both August and for last De
cember stood at 5.5 per cent.
The seasonally adjusted rate for
July was 5.6 per cent.
Miss Bancroft attributed the de
crease to a better than seasonal
upturn in employment for teen
agers, and a slightly better than
seasonal change for adult men.

WASHINGTON M — The Sen
ate passed today President Ken
nedy’s bill to expand training for
unemployed youth and to start a
