About That '3-Month Vacation' WASHINGTON, D.C. "Ahhh. It must be nice to be a teacher and have those long summer va cations all to yourself three months of some fishing, some camping with the kids, maybe a trip now back to school all rested up. What a life." Maybe that's what you think, returning to your own dally grind this fall after the annual two-weeks-wlth-pay vacation. It's not what teachers think. And it's not quite the way things are. And because of the way things are, more and more teachers are becoming ex-teachers. . .especially among the male teaching corps. Let Sam M. Lambert, director of the Research Division of the National Education Association, tell it: "The typical man teaching in today's schools is both angry and Impatient. He thinks he is entitled to a better break In this era of two-car families and elec tric can openers, and he Is. He Is fed up with working nights, week ends, and holidays trying to make ends, meet on a teach er's salary. He Is tired of sacri ficing his family for his profes sion. While many people are sympathetic, the exodus of talented men from teaching goes on. . .and on. . .and on." Men make up a third of the teaching force in public schools. Most of them are concentrated in the high schools or Junior highs. Eight of every 10 men teachers is married and has two children. More than 65 per cent of the men teachers have to "moon light" to supplement their in comes. Even more work summers. In a study two years ago, the average income for male teach ers was $5,568. Working sum mers and at extra Jobs during the school year, too, they earned an average of $1,155, but this figure also Includes earnings from dividends, rents, and inter est. Since mast men teachers work In secondary schools, let's stick with that. The average high school teacher puts in 40 hours a week on school work. Over half of this Is spent In the classroom, 20 per cent Is spent In duties re lated to cla-sses (like supervis ing study hall or working on PIONEER THEATRE NEBRASKA CITY Wt.tt. - TIU'RS. - mi.

The teachers would like to study during the summer to get advanced degrees so they can be better teachers and earn more money at theif educational Jobs. But many can't afford it. So they work. During the school year, they'd like to spend more time correct ing papers, making individual assessments of the weak points in which some students may need special help. But many can't afford to do It. So they work. And their wives work, too. Of every 10 married teachers, 4 have wives who work.

What Can Be Done for Ailing Bluegrass Lawn? "Dog Days," the usually hot, still days of late .summer have arrived In Nebraska, and with this period comes a deterioration In the appearance of many once lush and immaculate bluegrass lawns. Several factor.? combine In varying degrees thto time of year to downgrade not only the ap pearance, but the actual condi tion of lawns, depending on the type of management homeown ers exhibit In caring for their lawns. Late-appearing weeds. Includ ing the arch-villain crabgrass, mature at this time, giving lawns an unsightly, seraggly appear ance. Uneven waterings due to vacations, the gradual buildup of diseases through the season, and lack of fertility as fertilizer ap plied earlier "runs out", all con tribute to' the downfall of blue grass either temporarily or per manentlyin a lawn, as the case may be. , Return of what is regarded as a more "typical ' or 'old-time" Nebraska summer with many 90 degree days has helped control some fungus diseases which thrive during wet, cool weather, but other lawn problems have been aggravated. WI!n flits conditions tn mind, now Is the time to assess the potential of the present lawn to determine whether spot-sodding or seeding, full renovation, or merely vigorous maintenance measures such as fertilizing and control of weeds, irtsects and dis eases are necessary to return the lawn to top condition. According to U. S. Department Teachers Get . . full-time Jobs. Teachers' wives are found working at a Job more frequently than the wives of any other professional group, says the report. Quoting figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the report says: "Of 25 occupational groups shown separately in the BLS study, only two other groups of professional and kindred work ers are shown. Wives In th e labor force were reported by 31.3 per cent of the men in med ical and other health work, and by 30.5 per cent of men in other professional, technical, and kin dred work. Of the entire labor force of married men in the BLS study, only 34 3 per cent of the men had wives who were also In the labor force, as compared with 41.8 per cent of the men teachers." Now, about that three month vacation teachers get. . . .

"Better Lawns," renovation of ai existing lawn usually will correct such faults as lack of plant nu trients, acid soil, surface com paction, too much .-hade, too many undesirable grasses and general neglect. If the bluegrass Is mi-wing In tvit a foot to several feet In size, the soil In these spots can be worked up witn rae ana nut to kill weeds and prepare a seedbed. Seed these spots any time between now and early Sep tember with Kentucky bluegrass. If there Is even a thin stand of bluegrass among the crabgrass, foxtail and other annual weed.-;, It can be built up next spring to a good bluegrass lawn by the use of weed killer-chemicals and fer tiliser. There are chemical weed-killers which prevent the germina tion of all seeds. Apply these next April and you will have practically no annual weeds In your lawns. Apply nitrogen ferti lizer (and water if it doesn't rahu and the bluegrass will thicken up and form a dense, healthy sod. Lawn fertilizer contains phos phorus as well as nitrogen. If there Is clover in the lawn, phosphorus encourages it to grow and spread. If . you don't want clover, applying fertilizer containing only nitrogen no phosphorus will discourage the clover and permit the bluegrass to crowd it out. If the bluegrass is completely smothered by crabgrass, foxtail, chlckweed. nimble will and other weeds, then complete renovation is in order. alvo urns Mrs. Wilson How Mr. and Mrs. Walter Vincent were at Elk City, Nebraska at tending the "Daigh" family re union, Sunday, September 1.

Now's Time To Vaccinate Hogs LINCOLN Farmers have again been urged to immunize hogs against hog cholera, In rec ognition of a usual upsurge in outbreaks of the disease in the fall. National animal health author ities report that vaccinations for hog cholera may actually have decreased in 1962, following an increase in vaccinations In 1961, when the rate around the coun try reached 45 per cent. At least 75 per cent of the na tion's swine herds need to be vaccinated to provide a solid wall of Immunity against con tinued outbreaks of the killer disease, most authorities agree. A continued dropoff of vacci nations for ho;; cholera could be a serious blow to the hog cholera eradication program in the U. S., within which Nebraska and other states have organized statewide campaigns which are in various stages at present. Farmers are advised by the American Foundation for Ani mal Health to have vaccination done by a veterinarian only after he has checked the herd to de termine whether pigs are In proper condition to develop solid Immunity and after he has de termined which type of vaccine to use, depending on local condi tions and the condition of the herd.
