Baptists at Shore Honor Tutor for 76 Years' Work tionwide search. 11 Boys in First Class Atlantic City, May 23 (UP)A 90-year-old woman whose Sunday school pupils during 76 consecutive years ranged from little boys to life-term convicts was honored Sunday at the 48th annual American Baptist Convention as "Mrs. Sunday School Teacher of 11955." Mrs. James Jackson Bristow, of Lincoln, a pert little white haired woman who asked that she be termed "elderly, but not old" received congratulatory messages from President Eisenhower and Nebraska Gov. Anderson.

The President's message said: "Please accept my congratulations on the honor extended to you by the American Baptists at their annual convention. Spanning three-quarters of a century, your devoted service as a Sunday school teacher typifies the deavor of those, who without personal gain, give' themselves to" the teaching of the religious truth and to the strengthening of the moral character of our people." 'All Proud of You' Anderson messaged: "Through your 76 consecutive years of teaching, you have no doubt affected the lives of thousands of people all over the world. All Nebraskans are proud of you and they join me in congratulating you your wonderful Christian Benjamin P. Browne, of Philadelphia, of the Division of Christian Publications of the Convention's Board of Education, presented Mrs. Bristow with a citation on the Convention Hall stage.

Mrs. Bristow, born Sarah Douglas in Sangamon County, Oct. 23, 1864, was found to be the Baptist Sunday School teacher with the greatest number of consecutive years of service during a She joined the Berlin (Ill.) church when she was 12 and began teaching a Sunday school class of 11 boys three years later. She married the Rev. J.

J. Bristow, the pastor, eight years later. The Rev. Mr. Bristow served charges at Kane, Fairview, and then at Plainfield, Edgar and Lincoln, all in Nebraska.

Mrs. Bristow taught church schools at each charge.

to Cooper st. Would Give Vote to 18-Year-Olds: Requiring Pupils to Do Homework Is Opposed by National PTA Head By VIRGINIA KACHAN Chicago, May 23 (INS) "Mrs. PTA" had her way, kids would have no homework and the right to vote would be extended 18 years olds. "Mrs. PTA" is Mrs.

Newton Leonard, of Providence, R. the president of the National Congress Parents and Teachers, which opens its 59th annual convention Chicago. A former school teacher, this dynamic grey-haired woman has been doing PTA work most of her adult life and expects "never stop." She has reared two daughand is the proud grandmother seven children, ranging in age from 2 to 12. Symptom of Shortages She said: Many Do Double Shift "Many teachers even work Now winding up a three-year tenure as president of the organiza; tion which has 9,409,282 men and women members in the United States and Hawaii, Mrs. Leonard asserted in an interview: "Homework for children in the primary grades is a symptom of the serious shortage of adequate school facilities and teachers in our country.

"Ideally no child unless he is a 'slow learner -should be given lessons to do at home until he reaches the secondary (high school) level." Mrs. Leonard explained that teachers in the lower grades are "forced" to hand out after-school assignments "because classes are overloaded, there is little time for individual attention and they help keep pupils' progress up to double shifts to accommodate the vast increase in children who are in the beginners' stage in learning." To point up the problems arising from insufficient schools and teachers, Mrs. Leonard has chosen the theme of "Better Homes, Better Schools and Better Commufor the congress' annual convention. She said: "Parents need to realize that homework is a necessity these days and make things easier for their children. "That doesn't mean doing the homework for them but rather viewing: it with a positive attitude.

Parents should express interest in Apartment Blast Injures Youth Edward Jackson, 21, was burned badly Sunday afternoon when a blast shook his four room apart-. ment on the third floor of Parkway House, 22nd and Spring Garden Philadelphia, firemen reported. Firemen, arriving at the scene threw an extension ladder and hauled the, injured youth out the window. He was given emergency first aid and taken to Hahnemann Hospital. At the hospital, according to Detective John Stewart and Lt.

Thomas Hofer, of the Fire Marshall's Office, authorities said the youth was suffering from the effects of illuminating gas. Back at apartment, they added, a check showed that a three-foot rubber hose was attached to the burner of the gas range. The oven door of the range, they said, was open and a blanket was nearby. Scores of residents at the apart- If the assignment and provide a special place for the child to do the work." Instructing Parents To give parents an idea of what P. is happening in today's schools and what they can do to, help, the PTA is sponsoring "study" courses on child guidance and allied topics.

However, Mrs. Leonard emphasized there will be "no real solution until there is a true recognition of school support not only to by parents but by taxpayers at large." She said: "People should evaluate better schools as an investment rather than as an expense. "A bigger tax bite for education has compensation in other ways. A better educated person is less likely to be out of a job, for one, and this will cut down relief Children' Turning to teen-agers, Mrs. Leonard said she has found during frequent trips around the country that as a "group they are levelheaded, well-behaved youngsters." Mrs.

Leonard said she has met "many 18-year-olds who are more conscious of the issues in the community, nation and the world than their parents." She asserted: "These youths have grasped the responsibilities of citizenship so well by the time they leave high school that, if I had my way, the voting age would be lowered to the age of 18." Mrs. Leonard took issue with what she called "frequent reports" that juvenile delinquency is on the increase. She said: "I don't think it is spreading at all, but rather that people have become more aware of delinquency Roughly I'd estimate that 95 percent of our teens are well behaved." The PTA leader reported the organization's campaign against comic books has brought results and the problem "is working itself out." She pointed out that most publishers have signed a code, pledg. ing to keep from printing sexy comic books. And then she added with a smile: "Although much has been said about the bad influence of shoddy comic books on youngsters, we found that more adults read them than children." ment heard the blast which roused many persons in the 14-story buildling.

They besieged the switchboard operator who summoned police and firemen. Stewart theorized the blast was "caused by an accumulation of gas in the kitchen, and was virtually heard in every apartment in the building." Temperatures Observations Taken at 7.30 A.

The first dealing Dr. Herbert D. Chamberlain has with a new arrival is to tie the umbilical cord. His next step is to swab out the eyes.

His third is to put a vaccination needle into the forearm. He is immunizing the babe against diphtheria, lockjaw and whooping cough. Preparations which combine immunizing doses against all three are in widespread use. Babies Born Immunized Each new arrival in this world comes equipped with immunity to all sorts of diseases, since its blood contains antibodies acquired from his mother. These maternal antibodies start disappearing very soon and by six months have disappeared.

In common medical practice, new born infants are not vaccinated. The doctor starts immunizing when the infant is three to six months old. When mothers have doctors and co-operate with them, babies get their shots as a matter of course. In the rural area around McArthur, where Chamberlain practices, the mothers were not co-operative. They didn't bring their babies in for the shots.

Whooping Cough Developed The result was that the doctor had 40 cases of whooping cough in babies less than one year old between Jan. 1, 1943, and Sept. 30, 1948. People who take a lighthearted view of whooping cough should know that in infants it very dangerous. The death rate is often as high as 25 percent.

Chamberlain lost 10 out of his 40. In September of 1948 he decided to do something about ithe began vaccinating all his babies at birth. Since then he has delivered 800 babies and not one of them has had whooping cough or diphtheria or lockjaw. None has had the slightest ill effect from the shots. He "carefully explained" to the mothers what he intended doing before he did it.

He also explained the importance of the babies getting their second and third shots. But he set the time for the second at six weeks after the first Bandit Gets $2700 At Haddon Hall And Strolls Out Atlantic City, May 23-An armed robber got $2700 taken from the cashier of Haddon Hall Hotel Saturday night in view of 100 unsuspecting guests. With a gun in the folds of a newspaper, bandit approached the cashier's cage. "This is a holdup," he said, and Instructed the cashier to wrap the money in another newspaper. When the cashier obeyed, the holdup man nonchalantly strolled out, unmolested.

because he gives mothers their post -birth check-ups six weeks afterward and they were going to have to come in anyway. Having gotten the babies through the sec ond shots, he was able to persuade the mothers to bring them in toe their third when they were three months old. Chamberlain described what he was doing in the Journal of the American Academy of General Practice. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's spectao. ular capital, is growing at a rate of some 70,000 persons a year.

Its population is 2,650,000. Devaults. WOodlew STATIONERS PRINTERS 913-915 Broadway, Cam. FRIDAY WIs. DON'T Page 21, Column 4 50TH ARMORED DIVISION Broadway past Mickle st.
