NEW YORK (AP) - Things s

There have been 28 presidents who died a natural
death. They lived an average of 70.7 year*, or an aver-
age of L5 years less than their normal expectancy at
their inaugurations, says Metropolitan Life.
Yet if we go by these figure* alone, It’* harder on
life expectancy to be a vice president or even an unsuc-
cessful candidate for president The 28 president* lived
about three-tenths or a year longer than the average
years lived by the 24 deceased vice presidents, and about
six-tenths of a year longer than 40 deceased unsuccess-
ful candidates. ■*
However, if the four presidents who have been as-
sassinated are Included (and assassination, unfortunate-
ly, has to be considered one of the hazards of the of-
fice), average presidential length of life is reduced to
68£ years, or 3.6 years below expectancy at inaugura-
tion.
A statistical case can also be made that the bur-
dens of the office have increased in modem times.
The 15 presidents from Washington to Buchanan
lived an average of 74.2 years, or about 13 years longer
than their expectancies. But the 13 presidents follow-

Agxin, if the four assassinated presidenjti (all of whom
held office after 1860) are included, the average dura-

less than expected.
Vice presidents, on the other hand, have been liv-

Neither do they make provision for the ‘‘don't

a person from “voting” twice or any'number of times.
There Is nothing to prevent some minority pressure
group, with a vital interest in a particular issue, from
deluging a station with calls, thus making It appear
that more people think a certain way than is actually
the case.
Television opinion polls create a lot of viewer in-

I have lived across the street
from a public school for IT
• years.
As a parent whose sons went
to tills school I would like to
praise our teachers and school
personnel alike for their time,
guidance and devotion.
They must have minds of
steel and hearts of gold to be
able to handle the different
minds and actions of all kinds
of youngsters.
A teacher with his or her own
personality most figure out each
child’s way of thinking.
Our children depend on the
teacher* guidance and under-
standing and I for one appre-
ciate their love and tolerance
r that was shown to my children.
Hits off to our teachers and
personnel for a Job well done
and for the crop of knowledge
they help sow to make the fu-
ture leaders of our people and
