Here it is seven weeks and two days until Christmas and a local woman tells me her daughter's Christmas present is on hand, wrapped, and hidden away. This sort of hing takes all the frantic Joy away from that last-minute Christmas shopping which, for me, has become an annual event.

At least one of the speakers here for the annual teachers convention knows how to win his audience. Don Greve, the Oklahoma industrialist who spoke to the senior high group this morning, said he thought starting pay for teachers should be at least $10.000 a year. (That's quoted In a story on this page but I thought I had better mention it again so you won't think it a typographical error). But that was an error yesterday in the ad about Drew Pearson. 9e will speak here next Wednesday evening, as the ad stated.

But next Wednesday Is Nov. 9, not Nov. 8. Tickets an now being told at the Telegram, The Squire and by Junior College Student Council members. What's the weather going to do? It was reported snowing in LaJunta, late this ing.

Skies were overcast here but not quite cold enough for snow. The local goosebone prophet didn't tell us of any weather coming, and the weather bureau predicts only partly cloudy and mild.

Brand works for a firm that makes hair pieces advertised as unflappable even in gale winds. To prove the claim, the firm hired the British Aircraft Corporation's wind tunnel, in which new planes are tested for stress. Approximately 200 senior hleh administrators and teachers were at Georgia Matthews Elementary School to hear a young Oklahoma industrialist and lay preacher speak on "Human Freedom and Education." Don J. Greve, founder of the Sequoyah Carpet Mills, told his audience: "If we are to be leaders of the world of tomorrow, there's only one way through the field of education." He held the teaching profession hi high regard, saying that he felt people "are called to teach" jusi as some "are called to Dreach." "I urged hi Oklahoma City that we pay starting teachers $10,000 a year. Many thought 1 was crazy, including some teachers.

But the competition would bring only the best people into teaching, and cause those now teaching to upgrade themselves," he stated. An example himself, Greve urged teachers to aproach their work with enthusiasm, and to make their students understand that they can do most anything if they put their minds to it Re said most react to things, and that's why education is so vital. "So many come under your influence, 1 he reminded the educators. He outlined some laws of life, including keeping a goal in front of us, the law of reward for service, and the law of the "slight edge." "You don't have to be twice as good as someone else to accomplish twice as much," he emphasized. Professional conferences and round tables were featured yesterday afternoon.

Last night teachers were guests of the Garden City Area Chamber of Commerce at a bingo party in Ben Grimiley Gym. Polls for sleeting board members to the Kansas State Teachers Assn. were to close at 2 p.m. Just prior to the start of flie general session.

U.S.-Soviet Sign Air Pad WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. and Soviet officials sign an agreement today authorizing the first direct air service Moscow and New York. The ceremony In a State Department conference room signals a slight thaw in relations between the two world powers. The pact was reached and initialed five years ago, but its formal acceptance has been delayed by various pressures of the cold war.

The Soviet Union's minister of civil aviation, Air Force Gen. Yevteniy F. Loginov, and Llewellyn E. Thompson, U.S. ambassador-at-large are to sign the agreement owning the way for flights on the transatlantic route.

But officials said the air service will not start before next spring. They explained the designated airlines Pan American Airways and Aeroflot first must complete technical arrangements. Allies Resolute for Peace WASHINGTON (AP) Presi-, dent Johnson appraised his Asia, Pacific trip today as highly successful and said the nations at the Manila conference 'are united in a determination "to walk the last mile" in the search for peaep. The President made the assessment at a news conference a day after announcing that he faces surgery in about a fortnight on his throat and abdomen. Johnson also told reporters assembled in the White House East Room for a televised news session that he sees no reason why the Tuesday election should greatly affect any decision the North Vietnamese might make on continuing the war.

While he was at it, he said there could be a change of 40 or 50 feats in the House without drastically affecting the government's program. Johnson said he is not a good judge of what the reaction to the result of the coming congressional election will be. He had been asked whether he thinks the outcome will have any affect on Communist intentions to continue the Viet Nam war. There have been suggestions that an administration setback could encourage the Communists. "The President is not a candidate in this election," Johnson i remarked, saying he does not see how the election could, change the government's policies.

He also said he hopes the Communists do not make any miscalculations. Asked what he knows about the views of the Soviet leaders on Viet Nam, Johnson said, "I have every reason to believe they would like to see the fighting stop." 'Until we can reason this out we must maintain the strength to defend our men," he said. Johnson added that Gen. Wiliam C. Westmoreland, the commander in Viet Nam, made it clear that additional manpower will be needed in Viet Nam and that the U.S.

allies heard his presentation. "If more troops are needed they will be sent," he said He said it would be bad to speculate in terms of how many mndreds of thousands will be needed "when Gen. Westmoreland himself does not know." He continued by saying there is much strength now and it may be augmented from time to time, always with the hope that Telegram Photo AUTHOR MADELEINE L'Engle, seated, autographs for host of admirers during en afternoon session of school librarians here yesterday.

What they didn't say was that the line would stretch endlessly, and that each woman in line would be Maiden of Malibu Covered by Paint MALIBU, Calif.

(AP) The winsome Malibu maiden has disappeared, her shocking pink, nude voluptuousness blanketed by 14 faliens of drab, unfemale earth-colored paint. And the woman who says she created the frolicking 40-foot- high running lady Is disgusted. Lynne Seemayer, 31, an attractive legal secretary, says she prepared six months for last Friday night's venture when, beneath a bright moon and above the headlight glare from passing cars, she painted the maiden. The 105-pound brunette dropped by rope over the sheer cliff above a highway tunnel, cans of paint strapped to her waist. She says she spent hours painting and finished about dawn.

"I did it because the cliff was there," she said. But the county road commissioner said the maiden was a hazard to drivers. Mrs. Seemayer arrived at the tunnel Thursday as county workers 'splashed drab brown paint on the maiden's navel. The painting had withstood assaults with paint remover and fire hoses.

After sandblasting proved unfeasible, the paint was applied. armed with from one to five books to be signed. But then, when New York author Madeleine L'Engle, with eleven books to her credit, comes to Garden City to speak to an annual meeting of school librarians, perhaps this response isn't surprising.

Johnson said he had been asked to visit 47 of the states by various candidates and to visit the other three on a nonpolitical basis but old not say in any Instance that he would go.

Computerized Blackboards, TV Classrooms of Future 'Fantastic NOLAN HOWBLL Classrooms of tomorrow will have computerized glass blackboards, desks containing small TV screens instead of text books and classroom walls that change colors. Sound impossible? Such classrooms are coming and sooner than you think according to Robert E. Winer, Assistant Director of Educational Services for the International Business Machines Corp.

of New York City. Wiper was the featured speaker Thursday afternoon at the Business Education round table of the SKTA convention in Garden City. The session met in the senior nigh school cafeteria. Using a tape recorder, slide and film projectors, Wiper took business education teachers Kansas on a tour of the classrooms of tomorrow He described tomorrow's classroom as containing blackboards operated by a 10-key keyboard off to one side. The teacher would operate the keyboard and the problems for discussion would appear automatically on the board.

A student's desk would be equipped with a small TV screen instead of textbooks. The screen, operated also by a keyboard, would be connected to the school library. All textbooks and other reference material would be on microfilm in the library for re-call by the student when needed. Such a classroom night sound fantastic today, Wiper stated, but the teacher of today is faced with being able to instruct students for the needs of tomorrow. "A teacher has a greater responsibility today to the student's total education," he said.

"Today's student is a mobile student. His education must be usable not only in the immediate community but anywhere in the world." To do so, he said, the teacher and the classroom must keep up to date on new methods of instruction and of production in the business world. Many classrooms are using equipment and teaching methods that have been outdated and are no longer in use in the business world. Using the instruction of typing as an example, Wiper said the trend will be towards introducing typing instruction not in high school but in the elementary grades. Typing would be introduced in the first three grades as a method to improve the students linguistic level.

When the student enters the fourth grade, he would he introduced to typing as a formal course. Various testing programs have shown that students retain up to 83 per cent of wbat they see and to per cent of what they say, Wiper stated. Instruction In tomorrow's classrooms will be geared more towards the students "seeing and doing" and less el taf to teacher,.
