laave similar problems.
A two-year study of vandal.
tan in Syracuse (N.Y.). schools
Bras recently completed under
3?r, Nathan Goldman of Syracuse
University for the U.S, Office of
?laducation. The study, which dif-
fered from previous studies in
that it was focused on the entire
"school situation instead of the
problems of the individual van-
dal, carne up with six "signposts"
pointing to "ertile soil for the
growth of vandalism." These are:
1. Disassociation. of school staff,
,students, and • parents from the
school; • 2. Poor relationship
among students, school staff, and
parents; 3. Inadequate school ad-
ministration and leadership: 4.
:Rapid or extensive change in
the school program, population,
,and staff; 5. Student and school
!staff dissatisfaction with school
administration; 6. Community in-
stability coupled with neighbor-
hood deterioration.
Of these six signposts, Dr.
Goldman singled out "dissasso

property damage, "When mem-
bers of the school group have a
sense of belonging to the school,
and when they feel that the
school belongs to them, morale
tends to be high and damage
low," he said, "But where there
Is little sense of belonging, we
can expect to find a greater
amount of property damage."
"Boredom' was the reason
most often given by teachers and
pupils- in high -damage schools,
A reason turned up in low -dam-
age schools was "revenge." High
drop-out rates were strongly re.
lated to property damage. Where
teachers seemed casual or in-
different, and pupils did nothing
to improve the school, property
damage was usually heavy,
writes Millicent Taylor in the
Christian Science Monitor
The report itself analyzes find-
ings based on 1,170 students
questionaires, 367 teacher inter-
views, and histories of 16 Syra-
cuse junior and senior high
schools, Although the study was
focused on Syracuse schools, Dr.
Goldman is convinced that
"there is no reason to believe
that these charcteristics would
not be valid for other schools
and communities."
The report made tire following
recommendations to educators
concerned with cutting back
school property damage•
1. Locate schools in communi-
ties where instability can be
minimized; 2. Keep curriculum
abreast of student needs; 3 Keep
teachers attuned to the changing
needs of students; 4. Select the
principal carefully and allow hire
to exercise leadership; 5. Conduct
a proper orientation program for
teachers and students to the poli-
cies and routines of the school;
13 Establish easy two-way com-
munication between all school
personnel through student gov-
ernment and faculty meetings; 7.
Involve students and teacher; in
the school through the leader-
ship of the principal.

For pooch -loving pianist Van
Cliburn, •20, his second concert
tour of Russia was a yowling
succc's. Not only did Cliburn
come home cuddling a three-
week -old black puppy - a gift
from Russian admirers - hut he
had met the Soviet space •pups,
Belka and Strelka, and they had
snuggled right up to him. It hap-
pened recently in Moscow, where
Cliburn and the dogs appeared
on separate programs in the
same TV studio, Afterward, Van
was asked if he would like to sec'
Bclko and Strelka. "My word,
ye:, of course." he replied. and
soon they wore in his arms.
They were absolutely ador-
able." he said. "So affectionate."
Cliburn's trip netted him about
$35,000, but, naturally. the Rus-
sians wouldn't allow him to take
it out•of the country. He lett most

Friday three Young fellows in
the neighbourhood came along
with their power mowers and
cut our lawns -- almost an acre.
They were most anxious Partner

that anti as we carne back front the

with his handpropelled mower
to finish the job. Such hard work
on a hot day. Of course we
wouldn't tet him go- on with it
but we made sure he understood
how much eve appreciated the
gesture. Isn't it nice to know how
much friendliness there still is
among neighbours, rural and
suburban?
Letters from farm friends tell
us of many such instances. But
there is also another kind of
farm help that is gradually mak-
ing headway and of which a
young farmer of our acquaint-
anceis making good use The
idea originated in England, 1 be-

operated by men experienced in
every type of farm and' field
work and ready to take over the
entire work of a farm for any
given period should the owner
find it necessary to be away,
either through illness or for a
vacation. 1 don't know what the
fin:lnciel arrangements are but
I do know that all accounts are
taken care of to the satisfaction
of both parties.

Calamity On The
Movie Set '.
At 7::13 a.m,, the sleek bens,
Cadillac came to a halt before
Stage 8 of the Desilu Studios in
Hollywood. The car wee Mania-
diatoly surrounded by seven
overweight employees, and toe
orange -haired boss stepped out
end shouted a joyous greeting,
"Who is it," Bob Hope yelled
from his dressing room, "Grand-
ma Moses?"
It was, of course, 14liss Lucille
Ball, back on the set after re-
eUperating from an accident that ,•
typified the harassments that
have plagued the filming c'f
"Facts of Life," her first movie
in move than four years and
her third with Flope,
Trying to leap aboard a yacht
for a scene, Lucille had fallen
into the 3 -foot tank, and suf-
fered a bump on the head, a
black eye, and minor cuts and
bruises. After that, the injuries
cense thick and fast: Hope
smashed a flinger; director Mel-
vin Frenit sprained an ankle on
the golf course and was put on
crutches; Don Defore, who plays
Miss Ball's husband, was plagu-
ed by an old back injury and
wound up in traction - and
Publicity chief David Golding
came down with the mumps.
• On the morning of her arrival
back at work, Miss Ball spent
two hours with her hairdresser
and rat a lc e • u p men, finally
emerged - assured that her in-
juries wouldn't show - and
filming began. She put in one
solid hour doing a single shot
of herself looking first at a bed,
then a door, and then a wrist
watch. By 11:30 she was legging
it to the nearby studio, where
some 250 Desilu atockholdors
were assembled for the annual
meeting, with her estranged
husband Desi Arnaz presiding,
After giving his report, Desi an-
nouncecT to Miss Ball: "You are
excused by the chair,"
"Where's the chair?" asked
Miss Ball.
"Every minute you're here is
costing us money," Arnaz com-
plained. -
M i ss Bald .-..:parted, to ap-
plause. After a sandwich, and a
cup of coffee (Lucy to the wai-
tress: "Written marry letters
with this stuff lately?"), she was
back on the set, sitting in an
auto, chewing ardently on a watt
of gum.
Hope made his entrance. "All
right, everybody out of the
pool," he shouted, making his
way past the tank into which
Miss Bali had taken her tumble.
He got into the ear with her,
and a ca.mcraman Interrupted to
say that the light in Miss Ball's
eyes wasn't right.
"1 guess ray eyes are too big
for the movies, she said',
"1'11 tell you one thing," Hope
said. "Your eyelashes are keep-
ing me well. cheated: off,"'
The set by now was jammed
with visitors from the stock-
holders' meeting, and, as tinn-
ing began, a small boy toppled
noisily off a ladder, stopping
the shot. "Kids are wonderful,.
but I like mine barbecued,"
Hope said through clenched
teeth.
Director Frank took a position
to ane side, to show the couple
where to look. "1'10 a motel
sign,' he called.
"Ten blink an and off,' Hope
barked.
When. the scene was finished,
an exhausted Miss Balt headed
for her dressing room,• ,mutter-
ing: "I wish I could get my
adrenaline sip."
Director Frank felt fin e.
"°They're perfect together, real
professionals," he said happily.
