THE CLEANING UP OP VERMONT JUNKYARDS Up until now the beauty of our Vermont highways was in jeopardy. Our highways are being cluttered by unsightly junkyard eyesores. Lady Bird Johnson recent- ly proposed a Beautification Bill which Congress has now passed. The Bill will penal- ize states in which junkyards are less than 1000 feet away from an interstate or any principal highway. Vermont will likely have to purchase crushing machines to aid in the disposal of these cars. These machines are expensive but they seem to provide the only answer to two important problems’. (V The beauty of enr highways is greatly reduced by -sheas eye- sor S«; (2) hiphwny construc- tion i s also hindered oy the jun-cyerds- About ?0,0C0 cir'i are junked each year Vermont.

Joyce Benjamin '67 ««a» » WHY YOU SHOULD FINISH SCHOOL It is a known fact • that in this modern day and age you must have a high school diploma to make a normal liv- ing. The high school dropout who has gone at least as far as the eighth grads makes about a third to a half es much of the yearly wage3 of a nigh school graduate. And a high school graduate makes about one half to two thirds uho yearly wage3 of a college graduate. The average wages of a high school graduate is around six to ten thousand dollars a year, a college graduate makes aoout eight to ii.ltnc.s thc'.i iand dollars a yoo.ry Grpe ndlng upon his job.

3 « WOMEN—THE INFERIOR SEX? In the United Fhates, women are the largest minority group.'. Why should thoy be? They outnumber the mon, rule the familiesy and control 3ome seventy per cent f the nations wealth. True, women are the weaker sex; but there is litate difference in the size of tbnir brains cr in their ability to thinko The two sexes are tbout euual in mental ability, and seme women er9 even superior. However, there are emotional differences between man and women, which thus creates men- tal differences. 3ohind every groat man there s a great women.. In November of 1963, we all bad a very good example of this» IIoK dy can deny that Jackie Kennedy faced the tragedy like a hero. American oion9er vonon shared hardships and dangers 'with their husbands h siitliuig the wilderness. They worked just as hard as the men. Their first winter in New LngiPkdd proved the females' endurance. Later- women were not al- lowed tc vote. The people be- lieved that vomon didn't have enough, good judetjanfc. r to vote properly. After many years of women suffrage, the females finally won the right to vote,. And I believe that they make just as good selections aa nwins.- Now, women do just about every line of work That men do and the career girls seem to'be doing good jobs. In the lest few years, it has been proven that women have the same size brains, and abort the some abilities. And don-k ibrgil, women are th9 mothers of men Rita Myott '66 k - -:?■ - MINCONCEPTIONS ABOUT WORLD AFFAIRS Most people, when they think of world sffair'3 such as Viet Nam, believe that it can be settled by merely liaui • dating the enemy. This is where they are wrong. There art- many internal affairs, arid much red tape that governments hove to go through in order to carry out the simplest of operations, There are also the people who livo in the country itself that have to be provided foi y like teaching Lh.rr 1jw to pro- vide for themselves - making it very herd to have any t.,pv of full scale war with bombs ar.d artillery„ It if esoeciai.- ly hard where th- enemy and tne all1 es lock exactu1 alike. 3o when you hear sc icon say.
