No Miracles For School Posers Al Scarbrough as the new president and Ron Larsen, the new vice president, of Sioux Falls Independent School District No. 1, and their colleagues face a continuing set of problems which beset most South Dakota school systems.

The problems involve increasing costs, dependence upon the already overburdened property tax and no short term prospect of any additional school aid or relief from the South Dakota Legislature. Another problem which the newly constituted board must solve involves new school construction. How many new grade schools should be built, and how should they be financed? The southeast and southwest areas if the district badly need new schools. The board would do well to program their construction by using capita! outlay funds, rather than resorting to a bond issue. Patrons who ask the district to install new programs, or to add costs, should at the same time come up with suggestions as to where and how the revenue should be developed.

The school board is compelled to operate within strict legal restrictions on its spending and budgeting Mrs. Doris Larson, the outgoing president, provided effective leadership for the board. She deserves the thanks and appreciation of the community for her interest and concern. Her experience during her first term will enhance her usefulness to the school district in the five years of her new term, which lie ahead. When it comes to schools, some parents and taxpayers expect miracles from their elected board.

However, most of the Sioux Falls district's patrons are entirely cognizant of the revenue-cost squeeze. They expect their elected officials to do a businesslike job in spending their tax money for schools. luxury hotel business.

Our sources on the strike forces say every Mafia "family'' has representatives in the Miami area. They are attracted here largely by the narcotics trade.

But if the market, as measured by the Dow Jones industrial average, is higher than on New Year's Day. President Nixon will most likely be re elected. Since 1900 almost three-quarters of a century this remarkable indicator has usually foretold the presidential winner, according to Vale Hi-rsch.

In the first 40 years of the 20th Century, the market rose 10 out of 11 times, usually spectacularly, between the end of the Republican convention in June and November. There David Lawrence year's Miami Beach convention, the long hair crowd refused to meet with Humphrey. Miami Beach's talr, dignified Mayor Chuck Hall, who got along well himself with the wild bunch, urged Humphrey to sit down witii them. Humphrey's aides opposed the idea, but the humpy warrior agreed. The wild ones, however, wouldn't talk with Humphrey.

Democratic Finances The Democrats didn't raise enough money from their TV spectacu lar to pay off the debts left over from 1968. The party is now so broke it may not be able to afford to type up the voluminous platform hearings. (Copyright, 1972 by United Feature. Syndicate, Inc.)

And no party during this entire century has remained in power for only four years. Q. Under which party has the stock market fared best? A. "This will shock people," Hirsch cautioned me. "I wasn't aware of it myself." The following figures show that inves tors have fared more than twice as well under Democrats as under Republicans.

The Miami Beach convention merely discusses the hypothetical the nossibilities of a new regime and a new administration. Could Leave Wounds The dispute over the Illinois delegation at the Democratic convention in Miami Beach could leave a lot of wounds among the regular Democratic workers in that state, where Mayor Daley of Chicago plays such an influential role. If he is indifferent to the outcome, the chances rise that Nixon will get that state's electoral votes, which is one of the large ones in the list.

This situation may also prevail in other states which will be influenced by lack of campaigning by various Democratic leaders or groups. Certainly the election of 1972 is likely to be a hard one to forecast for the Democrats be-raiisc, in their convention, thev did not start out with a spirit of unity with the regular organiza tions in many of the states where the Democratic party has heen the ruling political force.

Since then the market has been a winner between the end of the GOP convention and election day (up 2.8 per cent from July 17, 19t4. and up 8.8 per cent from Aug. 9, 1968). The market has become much less volatile in the last six election years, with the average change 7 per cent against an average 19 per cent in the previous 12 election ears. Q.

Does the market react more favorably to Republican or Democratic A. The Republicans win hands down on this category, reports Hirsch. Since 1900, the market as measured by the Dow Jones, has risen on eight of the nine occasions a Republican has won and on only four of the nine occasions a Democrat has won. Research by the investment firm of Miederhoffer. Cross Zeckhauser also found that the average change the week after a Republican victory was: up 1.08 per cent.

Following Demo cratic victories it was: down 0.23 per cent. But there's a catch here I The market tends to discount the victory of an incumbent President. Since 1944. the Dow Jones industrial Mock average has declined the day. week and month following the rcelections of all the incumbent candidates during the period: Roosevelt -1914).

Jackson, for instance, predicted that Sen McGovern not only will lack labor support but is not going to have the Jewish vote in New York or California Inconsistencies often emerge in the arguments being made as to why various groups will not back the Democrats The posi tion of Sen. McGovern, for example, seems to be against in volvement in Europe or Asia, but thexe are lots of Americans who are deeply concerned over the future of Israel and want the United States to continue to aid that country in maintaining its defenses.

The party's platform is not the. kind of document that will be widely studied, and the can didate himself will have to ex plain what it means and what he hopes to attain by way of benefits for the American people. It is much too early, of course, to know how the e'eetorate will line up in Novemoer. but Sen McGovern will make an ex tensive campaign throughout the country to tell the people, the changes he proposes to make and what improvements he will recommend if he should win the election. The biggest question is whether the supporters of Gov George Wallace and others in the "center" or conservative MR.

TWEEDY Looking backward is an exercise recommended to Americans beset by doubts and fears concerning the future of their nation. The United States has weathered some mightly bleak periods. One of them was the summer of 1814. Torn by internal conflict, plagued by an empty treasury and embittered by the human cost of a war, the U.S. seemed on the point of collapse.

With the British blockade strangling American trade, the economy of the young nation was in ruins. Washington itself lay at the mercy of an invading English army. Yet, within eight months, all had changed. The U.S. was again at peace, the people were unified, the country's economy was on the mend and the armed forces were bursting with pride.

This recovery from a desperate situation is one of the most inspiring chapters in American history. The turning point in tha War of 1812 is just one instance demonstrating a factor that should be kept in mind amid all the stresses and strains to which the U.S. is subjected. And that's our nation's remarkable durability. A country that can prevail after such perilous times as the War of 1812 and the Civil War can sail through the fiercest political storms and the turbulence of social unrest.

What has kept the U.S. durable is the continuing faith of the people in the fundamental correctness of the principles upon which our society is based That ingredient must be kept alive and vigorous.

George McGovern of South Dakota was close enough to win the presidential nomination to the Democratic party This was confirmed on Tuesday when Sen.

Hubert Humphrey and Sen. Edmund Muskie withdrew from the race and some of their delegates became available to the leading aspirant, making his nomination a sure, thing. But Sen McGovern by no means obtained the support of a unified convention. It was obvious that factions still remained adamant. Sen.

Henry Jackson of Washington decided to stay in the contest and make, his record as a candidate. Whether the real purpose was to obtain the vice presidential nomination or to pave the way for a possible, candidacy in 1976, the fact is that he did not bow out before the actual nomination, although it was apparent that Sen. McGovern was already the winner. Sen. Humphrey, in withdraw, ing from the battle, didn't endorse Sen.

McGovern but undoubtedly will campaign for him, as they are longtime friends. Sen. Muskie, in giving way to the South Dakotan, promised to "do all I can to insure his ejection in November Labor View Not Clear The attitude of the labor union leaders is a question. Thev have been against Sen McGovern and have favored Sen Humphrey, and what they will do during the campaign is noi clear. One of the labor chiefs said that two of the principal labor unions would support Sen Jackson in any fur.ther balloting at the convention.

But President Leonard Woodlock of the Auto Workers, which is the nation's second largest union, has declared he will back Sen. McGovern in the campaign. It is unusual for labor to be. hesitant about furnishing support to the Democratic party, and it may he that between now and November more of the labor leaders will change their minds ami get behind Sen. McGovern.

NEW YORK (AP) Do you want to be an old-timer'' Some people tend to think that being an old-timer also makes one an old fogy, it doesn't.

There, is ail the dnterence between being thought of as an old timer or as an old fogy.

An old-timer is omeone who has had a lot of experience with tJie was of the world and has learned something from it.
