'Dream of peace' bubble bursts
School budget
approved here
The Board of Trustees of the
Claude Independent Scnool Dis-
trict approved the budget for the
1962-63 school year in a called
meeting at 8 p.m. Monday, Aug.
27. 1962.
Even though there is a slight
increase in the amount of budg-
eted expenditures over the last
school year, it will not be neces-
sary to increase the tax rate for
the veir, since anticipated income
is slightly above the budgeted ex-
penditures.
Total cost of budget, exclusive
of interest payments on bonds is
$194,003 00.
Cost nor pupil per year, $442.50:
cost per day of operation, $1,097.-
64; cost per day per pupil, $2.33;
cost per hour per pupil. 29c.
The increase in the budget over
the 1961-62 budget is $2,402.00.
Mosi of this increase is in salar-
ies, which are automatically in-
creased by state law at the rate
of $108 dollars per year until a
person has taught 12 years with
a Bachelor's Degree, or 26 years
with a Master's Degree.
This law serves as an incentive
for a teacher to continue his
education and receive a Master's
Degree; thereby, at the same time
becoming a better teacher. This
of course results in a better school
system for the children and the
community.
At the present time the local
school has 13 teachers who hold
a Master's Degree and 11 who
hold a Bachelor's. In both groups
there are teachers who have done
additional college work e'' e the
degree which they now ht>..
The average number of years
of teaching experience for the
Claude faculty is 11.7 years. The
range of experience is from one
year to 31 years.
Mrs. Matheson
wins piano
The winner of a Wurlitzer piano
given away following the grand
opening of the Tolzien Suburban
Music store at 2821 Civic Circle
in Amarillo Saturday was Mrs.
J. P. Matheson of Claude.
Mrs. Matheson was one of hun-
dreds who attended the formal
opening of Tolzien's and was quite
elated at winning the piano."
"It was the first thing I ever
won in my life," Mrs. Matheson
stated. "And I'm quite proud of
the piano."
Tolzien's Music Store has been
as advertiser in The Claude News
for years and they have many
friends and customers in the co-
unty. For this reason the man-
agement was quite delighted that
Mrs. Matheson proved to be the
winner.

"We are now again," said De-
mocratic Senator Vance Hartke
on "Meet the Press" last Aug. 5,
"in a position in which we are
the champions of the free world
and in the No. 1 position."
Then, a week later, the Rus-
sians orbited their two Cosmo-
nauts for a prolonged, coordinat-
ed space voyage. It showed up our
own modest achievements in man-
ned space flight to be very pri-
mitive indeed. It showed us to
be far back in second place, at
least two or three years behind,
and perhaps closer than anybody
will i.dmit to being militarily out-
flanked by an enemy space plat-
form.
Ten years ago, writing a book
published as "Tomorrow's Air
Age," I was privileged to visit and
interview numerous Air Force of-
ficers and scientists in all the
research development centers.
My futurizing was low-keyed, for
I was interested in predicting, as
I did, such everyday things as
seats, miniaturization as in the
transistor, new building mater-
ials and power plants for air-
craft. But one remark I heard
again and again around the
think-shops now returns to mind:
"The first nation to get a Space
platform from which surveillance
can be maintained and atomic
rockets fired, will rule the world."
Well, the Russians have almost
done. it. This is no time for panic,
for blame-laying among ourselves,
or for political gloating. It is a
time to take counteraction, and
to study our own mistakes solely
for self-instruction.
The counteraction we must take
is to militarize our Space and
Atomic Energy programs and poli-
cies. Administrator James Webb
of the National Space and Aero-
nautics Administration, is a good-
enough bureaucrat, but that's all.
He should be instantly replaced
by somebody like Air Force Gen-
eral Bernard A. Sehriever, now
commander of the Air Force Sys-

377 students
enrolled here
A total of 377 students enroll-
ed in the Claude Public Schools
on Monday, Aug. 27. Of this total
14 were enrolled at Wayside Ele-
mentary and the rest were en-
rolled in Claude Elementary and
Claude High Schools.
School officials estimated that
approximately another 25 stu-
dents would enroll before the
end of the week, since the enroll-
ment figure is that much below
that of the average daily atten-
dance figure for last year.
If all of the students were to
enroll who lived in the school dis-
trict at the time of the school
census in February there would
be some grades which would be
overly crowded. The census rolls
show 444 students eligible to at-
tend Claude Public Schools dur-
ing the 1962-63 school year.
Some of these have moved from
the district and some have trans-
ferred to other districts, there-
fore the probable total enrollment
will be about 430.
The high school enrolled 124 of
the above total and it is antici-
pated that the total enrollment
for the high school will be about
130.
