Money in town
Any way you slice it around a small town,
$800,000 is a lot of money.
Tnat's about the amount that will be spent
during the next twelve months on a couple of
highway jobs in Naples and immediately east
of it.
No one knows how much of that money
will trickle down Main Street because a lot of
it will go for supplies that have to be brought
in. Some of it will go to the contractors in
profit, to engineers and employees away from
here, and some to people in other communities.
But even a small slice of $800,000 is a
pretty big chunk to be turned loose in a small
town.
Somebody here is g>ing to feed seme of
the workers, others may rent rooms to them,
a merchant will sell a pair of shoes, a shirt
and a pair of pants. The grocery store will
get a little of the money, and a car dealer
might get to trade once or twice during the
year.
The work on the overpass and on Highway
77 east to Dalton is bound to be an economic
help to Naples while it is an inconvenience to
motorists detoured around the work.
We sometimes overlook such things and
their value to u§ economically. We get the
mistaken idea that public highways are some-
thing owed us and the people who build them
are some impersonal strangers who come and
go and have no effect on the community.
They don't. They're customers just ss
surely as the man who lives here. Their money
circulates just as freely and helps just as many-
people.
Any other industry which was on the
verge of an $800,000 construction job hers
would be ample reason for us to look forward
to a year of better times.
So is this one.

SAGE OF SULPHUR BOTTOM
Child psychologist's system
is not new, claims Sage
(Editor's note: The Sage of
Sulphur Bottom on his john-
son grass farm may be way
out of his field this week, but
then we're not sure what his
lield is anyway.)
Dear editar:
Sandwiched in betweer a
bunch of articles on wnat to
do about Vietnam by people
who don't know either and
how congressmen can cut
spending and raise taxes with-
out losing their jobs, in a
newspaper I found hanging on
a fence out here on this john-
son grass farm yesterday was
an article on a new technique
developed by some child psy-
chologists lor getting smart
but indifferent children to
learn in school.
The psychologists said there
are lots of intelligent kids in
school who simply won't learn
despite all the motivational de-
vices the teachers employ.
So they've hit on what they
call a brand new idea: They
holler ai them.
Ask a kid what he has just
read on a page and if he says
"I don't know," shout at him,
scream at him, tell him to
read it again and keep shout-
ing until he does and gives a
satisfactory report.
The teachers, wno probably
had been wanting to scream

Mrs. Suavely honored with parties
for some time anyway, report-
ed the kids at first burst into
tears but then, to get rid of
the shouting, buckled down,
and the psychologists announc-
ed they were pleased to have
discovered a new technique.
1 don't know anything about
psychology, except that most
child psychologists don't seem
to have much better luck rais-
ing their kids than other par-
ents, but I don't believe that
screaming at kids is a very
new idea.
I don't mean to say you
can't over-do it, but I doubt
if there are very many success-
ful grownups who weren't
shouted at from time to time
when they were children.
It's my guess that there are
times when reasoning is the
proper course in handling a
child but there are other times
when nothing else is quite so
apt and demanded than an un-
premeditated top-of-thelungs
shout. I know a few teenagers
right now who'a be in better
shape if somebody had blasted
them into line with a few
screams when they were five
or six.
Of course when you run into
a kid who screams back, you
have got a different situation.
There are some problems with
no answers, as me and con-
gress very well know.
Yours faithfully,
