If allowed to continue unchecked much longer, may turn this virile nation into the "sick man of once again. So far there are no very encouraging signs that the ment is preparing to take measures to bring things under control.

The government's idea, in fact, is just the opposite--keep the boom going until it catches up with the inflation rather than redure or deflate the boom and bring things into lire. The difficulty with this approach is the fact that Turkey is simply trying do too much all at once. It can't be done. As is typical in such situations --but more starthncly apparent here in Turkey these days -there is a tremendous amount of building and capital investment on. At the same time, the "overnmerrt is paying heavy sub- -idies.

to farmers for wheat, adding still more to the country's purchasing power. Furthermore, many foreign credits which Tur- koy obtained in the past in order to "prime the pump" for economic expansion are now coming Production Too Slow The result of all these factors that purchasing power has far aistraced Turkey's ability to pro- r.uce the poods to supply the At the sarr.p for- etchanee position has stead- i.y worsened.

Walnut Grove The big difference between Miss Larsen ciass and Miss Douglas' is that at Walnut Grove we have the luxury of more time to let tilings "soak in.

not overlook the fact that in third grade we also are making a major step in our trair.ing-- learning to write. You know, it different from printing. Every letter has a little "swing" on the end. and you can tie them together to make words. Now that we're writing everything, we slow down a little bit on how much arithmetic and reading and spelling and other things we learn.

Once we get the "swing" of this writing business, those will move faster than ever, our teachers promise. It isn't always easy either to knew when to use capitals and how to keep our words -on the lines. Class Pull of Heroes Then, here's another Item thst would startle you. Our grade is full of heroes.

One boy bravely admitted before uV group: "I help with the dishes." Another said he went to the store for his grandmother. May Start Snack Time A little girl has a sister who gets out of school an hour earlier. "I have to run home and get a cookie before she eats, them all up." she exclaimed. One teacher thought a snack time would be set up for the morning youngsters, who go to school from to 12. It seems breakfast isn't a big enough meal to carry them through to dinner.

During the second semester or this year, the four third grade classes will go on full schedule, and the four second grade groups will take over the restricted time hours.
