Historic Event The recent inauguration of Dr. Albert M. Animcrman as president of the Suf- folk County Community College was au historic event in the life of this young and last-growing institution of learning. We are proud , indeed , that the college lias been located on a site here in Bi ookhaven Town , on the former grounds of the Suifolk County Sanator- ium. The rap id growth of the college re- minds one that not too many years ago doubters were claiming there was no need or demand for a community col- lege in Suffolk. But ever since its found- ing last year , when classes were held at Sachem iJig h School , the college has been much in demand. This Fall the col- lege has 615 full-time students and 833 part-time evening students for a total of 1 . 44S. And long-range p lans are be- ing made to accommodate 4 ,000 full- time students bv 1970. Establishment of the college has lowered barriers to hig her education for man}' . \When voung peop le can live at home and pay onl y modest tuition fees, the economic barrier is lowered , ' Dr. Ammerman said in his inaugural address. Another barrier is geograp h y, he said. \The community' college is low- ering the geograp hic barrier b y bring- ing tlie college to the peop le. \ This broadening of hig her educational opportunities in Suffolk is a big step forward , and we salute all those who have worked in behalf of the college from the start. To Dr. Ammerman , vvc offer our very best wishes. A Solemn Question There are indications that the gov- ernment of the Soviet Union has at last comp leted the series of atmosp heric nuclear test blasts for which it had pre- pared during the Geneva test ban talks. Now the big question is: What shoul d the United States do about further at- mosp heric testing ? The case for resumption of such tests is not quite as open and shut as some public statements b y eminent men , both scientists and lay persons , would have one believe. Several grave questions are involved. They should be considered with great care , and with as little parti- san bias as possible. The questions con- cern the national security, the strength of the U. S. position of moral leader- shi p in the free world , and to some ex- tent even the welfare of future genera- tions. lt is being said , without any public marshalling of supporting evidence , that unless the United States resumes atmosp heric testing at once we will fall behind the Soviet Union in the develop- ment of nuclear weapons. This is of tlie greatest importance if it is true. But if , as has been frequentl y said , we alread y possess nuclear weapons in \ over-kill\' quantity, enough to destr oy the potential enemy more than once , is it necessary to develop still more terrible means of destruction? Perhaps so. But before we rush into further testing that would further pol- lute the atmosp here with radioactive dust, the most solemn consideration should be given to the results of such a course. A worl d aroused to a hig h p itch of outrage b y Soviet testing in the face of a United Nations p lea will not sanc- tion additional exp losions simp l y be- cause they are American instead of Rus- sian. And thoug h scientific views as to the harmful effects of fallout are widel y divergent , there is no doubt that in the long run it will damage the genetic pool of humankind. These are not matters to be shrugged off. Further testing will be warranted onl y if there is very clear evidence that it is necessary for the national security. Tim e For Anticipation November is a month almost as un- predictable as March. November is a Fall month , but it is popularl y associated with Winter in northern areas. Still , thoug h snow is no stranger to Novem- ber , neither are sunshine and mild tem- peratures. The general bleakness of the month is assuaged , too , b y antici pation of the holidays. In November the storm win- dows are on , the hatches battened down , the home made snug for the feast days and festivities ahead. Parents antici pate the return home , for the holidays , of sons and daug hters away at college. Business streets and store windows are bedecked , b y mid-November , with the garlands and g ifts of Christmas. School choruses and church choirs start dili- gent rehearsals for sacred concerts. Turkeys and hams are featured in grocery ads. Father checks on his sup- p l y of firep lace logs and Mother on the dining room facilities , wondering if the three leaves will stretch the table suf- ficientl y for all the company expected. The snow shovel? Well , it ' s in the basement , j ust in case. Every day it doesn ' t have to be used is a p lus — but one never knows about November. A Danger Within No one disputes that this is a time of great danger , as the President has emp hasized. But the danger may not all be external — not all limited , that is , to attack b y an enemy. Some dangers develop from within. One of them , as pointed out b y Su- preme Court Justice William O. Doug las , is that of an undue ascendency of the military. Citing the vast defense allo- cations in our federal bud get , Doug las says the military arc being given \ a more and more influential voice in de- termining our foreign policy. \ And he adds that the military, \ at the same time . . . are now closel y allied with big business and occupy a commanding position over our internal affairs. \ These words are from a book b y Doug las, \The Rig ht of thc Peop le , \ published in 1958. It is worth noting that a strong caution along the same lines was uttered b y former President Eisenhower in one of his final messages as chief executive. \There is wisdom , \ Justice Doug las continues , \ in the tenet that the mili- tary should not take over the functions of the civilian authorities even in days of war , unless thc public danger makes it imperative. For as Briand said to Lloy d George in World War I , 'War is a much too serious thing to be left to military men. ' Here is a matter which should be un- derstood b y the public. Such under- standing will hel p to disci p line the pub- lic ' s attitude toward governmental ac- tions in times of great international stress such as these. If pen is mi g htier than sword , how come thc world is tottering desp ite an unp aralleled dul gc of words? Could it he they ' re thc wrong words ?

Scouting Themes For 3 Months Are Announced Preparedness , wi'dhfe conserva - tion and Scout skills will hignug ht the activities of the 165 Boy Scout troops of the Suffolk County Council , Boy Scouts of America , for the next few months , it was announced by Harry Fine of Pat- chogue , council commissioner. Mr. Fine explained that while most troops are active in the council' s upcoming major activities such as the Fall Roundup and district camporees , they also have special themes each month. This month the troops are em- phasizing hel ping others , and are focusing on the skills needed to be helpful. Many troops are set- ting up mobilization plans of the type proven so effective , in flood , hurricane and other disaster areas. Emergency skills such as first aid are being taug ht and practiced. Mr. Fine described the December theme of \A Hel ping Hand for Wildlife \ , as \ a happy combination of two important parts of Boy Scouting — the out-of-doors and the Good Turn. \ Among the troop projects to help wildlife find Win- ter food and shelter are birdfeed- ing and animal feeding. \Win With Skill\ will be the January theme. Troops will be holding contests among their patrols as they concentrate on sharpening a variety of Scout skills including* fire making and fire prevention , first aid , knots and lashing, distance judg ing and woods lore. Unit leaders and committeemen , a? well as Den Mothers will re- ceive prog*ram aids on these themes at the monthly District Roundtable meetings. Locall y , there will be a meeting of the Central District at 8 p. m. Mon- day at Nokomis School , Holbrook Avenue , Holbrook. Mr. Fine pointed out that most troops in the Suffolk Count y Coun- cil will welcome visitors during this active period as part of the council-wide Fall Roundup, en- abling parents and boys interested in Scouting to visit nearby units and select one to join. \It' s a great time for a boy to get in on the fun of Scouting, \ he said , \ since he 'll be able to learn and grow with his new troop through the year and be prepared as a Scout for next Summer ' s camp- ing. \ Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. Is it absolutely necessary to send a wedding gift when you have declined an invitation to the wedding and reception ? A. If you are a good friend of the bride , the bridegroom , or their families , yes. Othei-wise , no. Q. When a man calls a taxi for a woman , whom he is unable to accompany to her destination , how does he arrange to pay her fare ? It seems awkward to give her the money. A. No , don 't thrust the cab fare at the woman. Ask the driver what the approximate fare will be , and pay him in advance , including a ti p. Q. What is the proper way to eat raw apples or pears at the table ? A. You should operate on these with your knife before eating them. The fruit should be quarter- ed , peeled , cored , and then each quarter eaten with the fingers. Q. If a girl has no parents and she has no means of giving a part y to announce her engage- ment, how can she best make this announcement ? A. Her best way would be through the society-news page of her local newspaper. Q. When a man is the guest of another man for luncheon in a restaurant, is he supposed to share the ti p for the waitress ? A. No. The tip is one of the obligations of his host. Q. Is a person really obligated to give his reason for declining an invitation ? A. Although not exactly obli- gatory, a logical reason does have a way of softening a refusal of this kind. POEMS WHITE CROSSES Here ' s to the millions of white crosses laid out row upon row , Under which are bodies that you and I know. Some are found on a hillside that is barren and cold , Where not so long ago wheat was growing, looking like gold. Others are found planted in a valley so green , And some are found to be planted a few feet f rom a stream. They are so silent , so white , and so still , Looking like snow , at a distance, on. a hill. It's peaceful and quiet when you ' re standing among thorn there, And you have the feeling that God is also about somewhere , Watching over them this night of nights . These rows of crosses , so pale and so white. Here ' s to the white cros s es laid out row upon row , They are at peace with a war torn world that you f>nd I know. Let' s both you and I pray that they stand erect out on the p ' ain and that the nexi generation never sees them again. Sgt. Jerrv Towey, 32711 COO October 18 , 1944 Somewhere in Europe Campus and Classroom By Richard J. Stonesifer Franklin and Marshall College Why do g irls go to college ? Ac- cording to a survey made by a psychologist only one g irl in 10 goes to colle ge for intellectual reasons. The other nine enroll solely to seek a husband in an environment teeming with males. I have grown increasing l y skep- tical of the surveys which some of our social scientists deli g ht in , and I would hazard the op inion that this pronouncement is about as supeificial an analysis of mo- tivation among maidens as the remark quoted by David Boroff in his new book , \Campus U. S. A., \ this one attributed to a high school senior who remarked that in choosing a college one first has to decide \ whether you want to go to a coeducational school or an educational one. \ Mate-seeking and tho pursuit of culture go on equally well on cam- puses where boys and girls hold hands in the libraries on Wednes- days and where boys meet g irls onl y on weekends. Actually, a g irl' s chances of meeting the man- of-her-dreams may be better at a school for g irls with a properly developed social program than at a coeducational institution. At the latter, she is likely to find her- self thought hig hly of at midweek hut deserted on Saturday as the boys t'*ot off to greener pastures at girls ' schools in search of va- riety. \Having a twosie , \ as cur- rent slanguage has it , is not an unmixed blessing. Genei*alizations , in short , are dangerous, in this area as in most. The dean of a g irls ' school told me recently that he occasionall y had the feeling that he was as much engaged in running a marriage- mart as he was operating a liberal arts college. But he didn 't say it in tones of despair , as if there were something inherently evil and awful in a girl' s combining the business of getting her B. A. and a husband within the same four-year time span. The spirit of that dean ' s view- point was echoed by Smith Col- lege ' s president , Thomas C. Men- denhall , in his inaugural address in 1959 when he warned the Smithies against being overly pre- occupied with earl y marriage. \While any of us .would welcome a happy marriage as a by-product of college education , \ Dr. Men- denhall said on that occasion , \to make it a first purpose is as wasteful of the precious resources of a college as it is dangerous. \ It is obvious that nubile fe- males are going to be thinking a great deal about mate-catching Detwcen the ages of 18 and 22. It is also obvious that a girl whose orientation is not wholl y to nu- clear physics , the stud y -of an- cient pottery, or tve acquiring of a Ph. D. in Sanskiit is likely to consider in choosing the campus where she will immure herself for four years , how good her chances are of meeting a male who is both eligible and solvent. It is equall y obvious that col- leges differ in their atmosphere so far as marriage-intensi t y is concerned , and here reading Bor- off' s \Campus U. S. A. \ can be instructive. At Smith , onl y 10 girls out of 500 were married at graduation ; at Swarthmore , a coup le that marries while at col- lege must usually break it up, with one withdrawing from the cam- pus; at Brooklyn College , approx- imatel y 30 per cent of the women and 25 per cent of the men marry while in college. But it is also equally obvious , to anyone but a psychologist bent on producing a tidy survey, that anthropolog ist Margaret Mead in her article , \Dangers of Marriage in College , \ accurately set forth an increasing l y strong attitude. In that essay. Dr. Mead set forth the view that the college years should be years in which a kind of \ mor- atorium \ on marriage is declared , years in which students should be allowed to \ exp lore , test , medi- tate , discuss , passionatel y espouse , and passionatel y repudiate , ideas about the past and future. \ She even went further , and scolded contemporary American civiliza- tion for encouraging a new bar- barism in establishing earl y mar- riage as a goal for girls. I' m with Margaret Mea d all the way and , indeed , once presided with her at a forum on this very subject. If the nine stupid maid- ens statisticall y trapped b y the psychologist reall y do trot off to campuses solel y for male com- panionship, I'd advise them not to subject themselves to the rigors of hi gher education. Getting a job on an Army post will produce quicker results. (Prepared and released as a pub - lic service by Franklin and Mar - shall College) Report from Islip Town Hall By Councilman Donald J. Kuss The other day I had occasion to visit the Brentwood area with Councilman Gordon Taylor. We attended a luncheon which remin- ded me a great deal of a meeting held in Sayville six or seven years ago. A small group of business- men had met to discuss ways and means of improving the area they lived in. It was a similar meeting to the one called by Joe Jahn , editor of the Suffolk County News , where Operation Bootstrap was founded in Isli p Town. Say- ville ' s Bootstrap meeting resulted in Adelphi College locating in this area and several other improve- ments being accomplished. The Brentwood group ' s purpose had similar goals. They were in- telligentl y discussing the ways and means of securing new industry for their community and the for- mation of a Chamber of Com- merce that could truly service the needs of the people. Brentwood , which is the fastest growing community in Islip, has felt the strain of rapidly increas- ing population. The need for new schools and services is placing a severe tax burden upon them. These men who met quietly, with no fanfare or publicity, realize their objectives cannot be obtained by merely complaining. By put- ting their own shoulders to the wheel and constructively analy- zing their problems , they set a pattern which other communities will follow. I cannot help but ad- mire the initiative and unselfish attitudes expressed b y the individ- uals who attended this meeting. Their attitude seemed to follow the Biblical saying, \The Lord helps those who help themselves. \ Lesson in English BY W. L. GORDON WORDS OFTEN .MISUSED Distinguish between ENVIA- BLE (arousing envy) and ENVI- OUS (feeling envy). Thus: \His enviable position made many peo- p le envious of him. \ Do not say, \He is one of those peop le who is always getting in trouble. \ Say, \He is one of those people who ARE always getting INTO trouble. \ To correspond TO means to be like or to be in harmony with, \His idea corresponds TO mine. \ To correspond WITH means to exchange letters with. \They cor- responded WITH each other dur- ing their long separation. \ Do not say, \Do you ever ex- pect to go?\ You don 't really mean \Do you EVER EXPECT. \ You mean , \Do you expect EVER TO GO?\ Do not say. \This man is known universally by everyone. \ \By everyone \ is redundant. Whoever is known universally is known by everyone. Do not say, \This chair is more preferable than that one. \ Say , \This chair is (omit ' more ') pre- ferable TO that one. \ Do not say, \They treated us fine. \ It is better to s&y, \They treated us WELL. \ Do not say, \Whom shall I say is calling?\ Say, \WHO shall I say is calling?\ SOCIA L SEC URITY Social Security questions ad- dressed to The Long Island Ad- vance will be answered in each Thursday ' s paper or by mail.
