THE TOWN CRIER
T'he Pen b: 14tghtier Than 1he :icJOrd
FROM CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM n. HATHAWAY
"CONTOURS O.F .CHANGE" . .
"Evecyonetalks about 'relevance'these days, but many of us
d9n't realize just how relevantH.ural America is to our Nation's
hope$ and aspirations. For one in every three Americans live
peyond the city line, in Rural America."
So go th.e· first' Hn~s of the Preface to The Yearbook of Agri-·
culture for 1970, this year's excellent addition to the continuing
;eries of volumes pn agriculture in America, published annually
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The 1970 volume; S\lbtitled "Contours of-Change," has just
begun to 1-~oll off the presses. Copies are expected to be made
available to Congressional offices in the very near futt~re for
distribution to constituents requesting them.
"Contours. of Change" is a book devoted exclusively to Rural
America to-the changes which Rural America has experienced
intheiecentpast l')ecause of nation;;t.l growth patterns and technological advancements inagr.i.culture, and the changes which it
must undergo in the _n ext decade and beyond if Rural America
is to effectively meet its increasing challenges and shoulder
its ever-giowing responsibilities.
Its chapter. titles are evidence of the Stimulating l'eadi.ng it
conta ips: . ~ . ."Struc~ure and Change in Rural Government" ...
"Together.:.communities" ... "Technologie s for Tomorrow."
"Contours of Change" is a book about people, farming, food
processing ·and marl<eting, the environment and conservation,
developments in -technology, and even tl:e role of the United
State's in World food problems. And it is a book which I know
will be of great interest and great relevance to the people of
J.\olaine.
I have pointed qn many OCC::\S ions to the fact that i.mprovement
and .expans;on of economic, social, and cultLtral opportunities
inRuralAmerica comprise one of the greatest challenges confronting thil'! country. And I have noted that Federal Departmert s
and agencies hiwe gegun focusing more attention on rural needs
· and.have ·been having an increased impact in meeting them.
The agriculture Department is a prime example of this increasedFederalAwareness. Duringthepast year, for example,
USDA's Farn1ers' Home Administration has substantially increased its ruithority in the housing area and has contunued its
importan~ role in helping finance !vlaine's potato crop.
The ~ltture of our great State is larguly dependent on the success ·.ot Qur efforts in creating a productive, viable economy
as well as expanded social and cultural opportunities in our
·predominantly rural environment. And I am hopeful that the
· rece.J;lt ~nc.en,tives of the Agriculture Department and other Fed.. .eital agencies will encourage Maine communiy, agricultural
andRural America by the American people; and finally, ·1 hope
· it will contribute lu a constructive way to a balanced growth for
the Nation and to the quality of life for all Americans.

Dear Editor:
With all the el)lphasis on safety today and with the federal ruling that all new automobiles have safety belts as standard equipment why is it our school buses aren't equipped with safety
belts? Isn.'.t a QUS as susceptible to an accident as a passenger
~ar? Does Lt seem logical to appropriate more money each year
for new buses, buildings and high wages for the school emplayees and riot appropriate any money for seat belts and a course
in school teaching how to use them? Wouldn't it work twofold'?
TJ1echildren would get in the habit of fastening their sea.t 'belts
and they would remind their parents to fasten their seat belts
when they are with Lhem going on vacation trips . Sunday drives
or normaL every day tra\'eiing. Parents are influenced as much
by the children as the children are by them.
I would be interested in hearing the EditQrs opinion on this.
A Reader of The T own Crier
and a Taxpayer of Milo
Dear Reader and Taxpayer
This editor agrees with you heartily on this subject. When
considering this matter, it is am::..zing that seat belts have
not been required all a long. Certainly they ·have been on the
market for long enough so that their effectiveness is unquestioned.
The Editor
1Eottnrially
~prak.in!l
Well, P. V. H. S. has arrived. It has had its very own bomb
scare. However, thanks to prompt action by school adn1inistration and law eniorcement officials, the culpr its are under
suspicion and citations are being t\ ~·itten at press time.
It probably is inevitable thet high school students will try to
copy what they read is happening at colleges . As most know,
the University of Maine at Orono was in somewhat of a chaos
last week due to the bomb scares that hit many of the dorms.
It is hoped by this newspaper that prompt and effective act.
ion in apprehending those responsible will serve as fair warning for any others who might contempl:ate creating this type o:f
havoc.
This type of har rassment must be stopped as any idiot could
clean out every public building in town by spending a halfhour
on the telephone .
It is our understanding that this type of activity is not considered a prank but 1·a.ther, is a felony .

DRUG PROBLEM
ATTACKED
Cont'd from Page 1
The m~eting was held as a
part of the "Concerned Parents Committee on Drug Abuse" activity in Piscataquis
County.
'l'he students, who came to
the school from large cities
across the United States want
to be active in preventing use
of drugs by Maine young folks.
The five were all able to get
off drugs (they were all using
heroin and started with marij~,Iana) through the help of the
"Teen Center" houses in their
different cities. They were accompanied by Mr. Bill Parks
who is the director of outside
ministry at the theological school. The ex-addicts are in their
early twenties.
A brief history follows:
Laurie McBride from Philadelphia was on heroin for four
years,
Darlene DeHaro of Los Angeles, Calif. was on drugs for
13 years. She lost an arm in a
prison accident wher e she was
serving time for drug use.
Steve Tucker of St. Louis,
Mo. used drugs for 2 years.
His father is a minister at
Mattawamkeag, Me.
Jane Geisler and Wayne Pahley both came from Detroit,
Mic)l, and were "1,J.sers" until
they received help from "Teen Center".

The written threat, read in general, that a bomb has been set
and was tim ed to explode at 1:45 p.m. Wednesday.

:MAINE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
The Maine Teachers Associatioa has announced plans to organize councils of teachers to work for improvement of the
graduate school courses they must take to maintan certification and advance as professionals . The forthcoming issue of
The :Maine Teacher, MTA publication, lists five meetings that
will be held statewide (vithin the next month ·to organize the
councils of teachers taking graduate work at teh Orono and
Portland-Groham campuses of the University of Maine.
Council s logan willbe Down with Mickey Mouse Courses and
they will be called Educators Councils for the Apprais~l of
'reacher Education.
Dr. John H. Marvin, MTA executtive secretary, said the
goal of the,Educate Councils will be to give teachers a voice in
the kind of courses that are offered for professionalimprovt?ment, "Teachers across the state spend thousands of dollars
every year in tuition, books, and travel expenses , but have
little to say about hwo they spend their time and money," Dr.
Marvin said.
Teachers have long voices complaints to MTA about "Mickey
Mou~e" courses, required courses that have no relevance to
elassroom needs, sudden and arbitary changes in degree requirements, methods courses that are taught by lecturing.
"Except for griping in the teachers rooms, · there has been
nothing anybody could do, " Dr. Marvin said. "It is time to apply the same principles that have been used in negotiations with
school boards to the problem of achieving voice for teachers
in the }dnd of graduate courses that are available. No wonder
teacher education courses have such a poor reputation when those
closem to the problems of teaching have llttle effective voice in
planning graduate programs . "
He ~aid that reforms in teacher education are supposed to be
taklng Plaee, but progress is too slow. "There is a high rebability that no meaningful reform will take place until teachers
organize and effectively demand the needed changes!'
Dr. Mar-vin said he expected the Councils will consider reconunendations in the recently completed report of the Chan-·
cello.r's Task Force on Teacher Education which calls for
changes that would give teachers more responsibillty for makln
deci.E;ions about their own programs .
Plans for the Educate Councils were approved by the Executive
CommitteE~ at a three-day meeting in August, The organizing
meetings are-scheduled for Westbrook High School, October 15;
Bangor High School, Oct. 20; Rumford High, Oct. 27; Zippel
School, Presque Isle, Oct. 29; Waterville High, Nov. 2. All
meetings will begin at 7 p.m.
