STREATOR DAILY PUBLISHING BY THE TIMES-PRESS COMPANY November 11-Just Another Day? Veterans Day, tomorrow November 11, is a holiday in all states, but its observance is negligible. despite the significance of its background. The American people prate about their appreciation of what the men in uniform have achieved in the wars in which the nation has been involved, but are not willing to depart from the normal day's routine to pay honor and homage. To all but a very few, November 11 is just another date on the calendar.

It was November 11, 1918 when Kaiser Wilhelm surrendered and sued for peace, a joyous conclusion to a bloody and difficult war. It had been a war to end all wars and the populace was happy and all were certain Armistice Day would go down in history to rank with other great events in American history. But it wasn't the war to end all wars for despite the fact the people were promised that not an American man would be sent across seas to engage in conflict, World War II emerged. The millions of men and women saw the war through to a conclusion, but instead of another holiday it was ordained that Armistice Day should become Veterans Day that we might pay homage to the men and women of all wars. Instead of emphasizing the importance of the day, we have but little to remind us of the tremendous sacrifices which have been made by veterans of all wars, and continuing to be made in the Vietnam War where more than 6,000 have already made the supreme sacrifice.

Nationwide observance is due, but it will require a great reversal of attitude before that goal is attained. As we silently give homage to those who have made it possible for us to enjoy the benefits of life and offer a prayer for those who have gone to their reward, is it not time that we give wholehearted recognition of the Day? The Flood Came President Johnson made. a mistake when he went on television and implored the American people to write to their Congressmen urging their support of his 10 per cent tax increase proposal. The result has been the opposite of what he had hoped for. There is a flood of mail, but it is urging legislators to defeat the increase.

Admittedly, inflation must be thwarted. It is only an opiate that gives the citizen false assurance that all is well, keeps business booming, creates wage zooming, keeps costs going skyward. No one gains, but everyone loses. Europeans had the taste of inflation after World War II when it was necessary to have a wheelbarrow full of money to buy a loaf of bread. There are two ways in this country today by which inflation can be stifled, even though it has already made costly inroads on the economy.

Congress can do, as the President desires, and siphon off individual and corporate income to the degree that business will be forced to slow down. Building would have to be deferred and industrial expansion delayed; production of new products would come to a standstill. A ten per cent tax increase will accomplish that goal. The other method just as effective is reduced government spending, curtailing the pouring of billions and billions of dollars into the business stream of the nation's economy. This can be accomplished without upsetting the apple cart, without throwing the gross national product entirely out of gear.

It is folly to talk about a tax increase breaking the inflationary spiral and continue to have the administration maintain its frightening spending level. It is essential that we spend to carry on the war until we secure an honorable peace, but there are innumerable domestic projects which can be delayed or cancelled entirely without serious damage to desired -services. Mr. Johnson is determined on the tax increase route, but it is highly questionable that the mood of Congress will permit such a program. MEMBERS WELCOMED INTO LOCAL CLUB Mrs.

STREATOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS' OPEN HOUSE VERY WELL ATTENDED By SUE LEONARD With thoughts of attending the Streator Elementary schools' open house in their minds, many families had a hurried evening meal last night. Amid the general confusion of households, as the open house starting time of 7 p.m.

approached, there was quite a It of families' individual was no longer Johhny and Janie being hurried along wth warnings of the moving clock hands as they dressed for school. Last evening it was Mom and Dad who were rushed through their dressing and toiletries to the accompaniment of their children's pleas to "hurry up Mom" or "the other kids will already be there, And the earliest family arriving at any local school was welcomed with bright lights illuminating from all of the classrooms, as well as limited parking space. The long walk from automobiles to the school building served as a time for kindergarten-aged children to be warned by parents that it wasn't "playing" time and for older children to warn their parents that they were to be sure and note certain papers in the classroom displays. Kindergarten Students While all of the classrooms were a happy confusion that ended in satisfactory enlightment by the respective teachers, probably the most humorous scenes took place in the schools' various kindergarten rooms. Kindergarten students happily displayed the rugs they take naps on; possessively fingered the tops they play with; and very informally greeted fellow classmates for the benefit of their parents.

Kind Kindergarten teachers patiently helped the children to locate their particular drawings or art project to show their parents and commented on how each child was coming along "just fine." And each parent certainly came away from each class feeling very glad they had made the effort to attend the open house and gain a small insight into the school life of their dren. The teachers' pleasant smiles and genuine pleasure at the appearance of each set of parents or arrival of a parent, spoke well for the capable guidance being given respective students in their studies. And also in the shaping of the youngsters' group discipline. The parents and children weren't the only ones satisfied with the schools' open house, last evening, as various representatives of Streator elementary schools voiced general success in the annual event. The open house was included in the elementary school observance of American Education Week in Streator, when Ralph Martin assumed the duties as Superintendent of Elementary Schools for this community.

Garfield Bernard Myers, principal of Garfield school, commented that there was a "good crowd at their open house, with the people going from room to room. Youngsters seemed to be very proud in showing their parents around the school." He concluded that he had enjoyed meeting people he hadn't previously known and that the teachers were well pleased with last evening's response. Louise Gamble, Grant school principal, stated that "there was a steady stream of people attending the open house. Workbooks, papers, health articles, and science experiments were displayed in the classrooms and in the school halls." She related that the children librarians had talked with the parents, exhibiting the new library books. man -Oakland Park Marjorie Remy, first grade teacher at Sherman school, related that the entire school had been filled with a large crowd from 7 p.m.

until well after the appointed closing hour. She stated that in her first grade, there had been 25 parents in attendance. With cars tightly parked around the school grounds the entire evening, the large number of those in attendance at Sherman school was evident. Mrs. Remy stated that the large number of fathers attending the open house especially proved satisfying to the teachers.

Oakland Park school's open house proved very successful, according to Mrs. Lucille, O'- Leary, sixth grade teacher at the school. She commented that the event was very well received and interested people filled the classrooms the entire evening. Twenty-one families were represented in her sixth grade. Mrs.

O'Leary stated that she felt the informal open house seems to build good relations with the teacher and the student and his parents. -Greeley-Northlawn Leonard Greathouse, principal of Greeley school, said that the open house was very effective at that school as proved by the large number of parents attending. He related that he felt the open house was much more satisfying to teachers, pupils, and parents than the unatural classroom visitation. Northlawn school principal, Warren Lowe, reported an excellent crowd attending the Back-To-School Night activities at his school. He related that there were many complimentary comments given by parents to the teachers and other members of the school staff during the open house.

Jefferson-Kimes Lyle Yeck, principal of Jefferson and Kimes schools, was very pleased over the attendance of parents and students at both schools. He related that "an absence of pressures in the informal atmosphere of the open house seems to be agreeable to the teachers' and their pupils' parents:" Announce Two Tire Safety Standards WASHINGTON (AP) The government announced today its first two tire safety standards, aimed at providing better protection against blowouts at high speed.
