Carter Praises Action I think the borough ought to thank the CETA men, like the fairground crew. I myself think the CETA crew for the borough did a wonderful job. I am enraged, as are many parents in Mount Union because ol the fact that one of our finest teachers has resigned. I'm sure most of the faculty must be wondering who is next The situation is not irreversible and we would like to see parents and students do something before it is too late.

We lost a'won- derful music instructor in Mount Union Area High School. I am a teacher for the Huntingdon Area School District and 1 would like to clarify some of the misunderstandings that have been printed in The Daily News. The person who said they were a teacher with 10 year's experience and making $15 000 sure does not teach for Huntingdon. According to our pay scale, the most you could get paid for 10 year's of teaching is and that is with a doctorate degree. We in Huntingdon do not get paid for hall or cafeteria duty, nor do we get paid for being off in (he summer.

Our checks are spread out on a 12 month basis instead of nine months. It's just too bad that the this area don 1 back the adu lts they send their children to five days a week. Hearing the garbage people have been saying about teachers makes me think why should I work every night until 8 or 9 a.m. grading papers, making centers and writing up lessons and getting prepared. After all I am only making $10.200, Maybe The Daily News should check to see il people's opinions for this column are valid before printing them in the paper.

Untrue statements can cause an awful lot of unnecessary misunderstanding. I think the CB set is a marvelous invention and it can be a lot ol lun for all ages but what I don't understand is power mikes turned up full blast to talk across town, people who can talk nonsense, nonstop for four or five hours, one on one, night after night. Also, why doesn't some of you go to a friend's house and listen to your own CB once and awhile to make sure your CB is not too loud and that it is in good working condition'' Some people have their CB's turned up so that you can hardly tell what they are saying. When others tell them it is not right thev won't believe them anyway. Let's all try to make CB's enjoyable lor all who enjoy them.

1 would like to congratulate J.C.

Today's high-stake, two-day visit to Israel by the Arab leader is seen by top officials as a bold step with Sadat's agreement to address the Israeli Parliament constituting tacit recognition of the existence of Israel.

But officials arc expressing anxiety, too, over the visit. Sadat took the initiative in traveling to Jerusalem, an administration source said Friday. "They (the Israelis) in turn should show a willingness to go half way." Despite administration hopes for concessions. Israeli Ambassador Simcha Dinilz declined comment on the possibility. "I think we have to leave this for negotiators," Dinitz said after a White House meeting, his third in two days.

Dinitz described the Sadat mission "as a psychological breakthrough that hopefully will bring about a political breakthrough." He said if Sadat invited Israeli Prime Minister Mcnachem Begin to Cairo, "I'm sure he will go."

The officials said Israeli jctl'ightcrs would escort Sadat's Boeing 707 into Ben- Gurion Airport and full military honors would greet the Egyptian leader. Some 10.000 soldiers guarded rooftops and street corners on the motorcade route to Jerusalem.

President Carter telephoned his congratulations to Sadat but officials said the administration was both "extremely hopeful and nervous" about the visit. They said Carter had urged Israel to give Sadat some concessions lo justify the risk he is taking. Syria declared a national day of mourning and called on Arabs to "raise their voices in pain and anger." Even Jordan and Saudi Arabia, traditionally Arab moderates and allies of Egypt, criticized the visit as a blow to the fragile unity of the Arab world. Angry mobs of Arab students stormed the Egyptian Embassy in Athens in protest and a powerful blast ripped apart the first floor of the Egyptian Embassy in Beirut, killing one unidentified diplomat and wounding four soldiers.

Saudi Arabia. Egypt's financial backer and its most powerful ally in the Middle East, condemned Sadat's peace mission Friday and radicals attacked the Egyptian embassies in Athens and Beirut. The Saudis said Sadat's trip to Jerusalem had put Arabs in a "delicate position" and was critical of "behaviors whose means are uncoordinated with the general Arab stand." "For the Saudis, this is an extremely strong statement," one diplomat said. "Sadat has now virtually total Arab opposition to confront." Syria declared a "national day of mourning" today to mark Sadat's trip, Libya threatened to cut off diplomatic relations and only Morocco defended the Egyptian leader's first-ever visit to Jerusalem.
