IMPORTANT BUSINESS—“A boy of 10 is not very tall, but he casts a huge shadow on the school house wall.” So begins "Education is Everybody's Business," a new animated cartoon which describes the present and future problems of higher education. The film is available to civic, service and parent-teacher organizations for this fall from University Relations. There is no charge to these groups for this special 18-minute film.
Young GOP to Be Life Of Chicago Convention
CHICAGO—(UPI)—Don't be surprised if the same happy, enchanted faces show up in demonstrations for both Vice President Richard M. Nixon and New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller at the Republican National Convention next week.
Young Republicans have marshaled an army of marchers to throw onto the floor of International Amphitheatre at any and every outburst of "I give you a great American..." oratory.
Their captains say they won't play favorites.
Not in this convention where candidates may be as scarce as Democrats and in this television age when hoopla helps glue dad to the den instead of lawn mower.
"We'll have plenty of demonstrators for anybody who wants them," said Maurice Colburn, co-chairman of the Young Republicans Committee on Arrangements.
"We're not going to try to force anybody to go cheer for anyone he doesn't want to cheer," he said. "But we'll have Young Republicans to coordinate the demonstration activities—see to it that the color and enthusiasm are put out front."
Colburn estimated he would have a pool of more than 5,000 Young Republicans from which to draw manpower needs.
They'll serve as guides on preconvention tours of the big stock-yards arena, greet VIPs, at O'Hare and Midway Airports, paint signs for candidates and state delegations, and generally supply the hi-jinks while their elders attend to more sedate matters.
The Berwyn (Ill) Young Republican Club opened a "signshop" Friday in a vacant store in suburban Lyons and began production of signs and slogans.
Edward Gottschlich, chairman of the sign committee, said the group already had orders for 18,000 signs, ranging from small placards on sticks up to 20-foot-long banners.
"When we move the sign shop to the Amphitheatre later this week, we'll have up to 150 persons working at the job." Gottschlich said.
Colburn outlined this array of "spontaneous" hoopla:
- A water ski show in the Chicago River on Friday and a sports car parade through the Loop that night.
- An antique car parade, with clown and hillbilly bands, to entertain State Street shopping crowds on Saturday. "We intended to have the vintage cars parade at night but found many of them didn't have lights to find their way home."
- Arrival of a make-believe Abe
Lincoln (Illinois State Rep. William G. Horsley) Saturday night after a daylong motorcade from Springfield, state capital and Lincoln's home. "Abe never made it to the 1860 convention at which he was nominated, you know, so we asked him to come to this one."
- A huge parade Sunday with 20 marching bands, about 60 other units, YGOP floats, and 80 "Young Republican Lassies" decked out in red Scotch skirts and pom-noms.
- A torchlight parade with at least 500 torches after the first evening convention session ends Monday night.
- Holdup of a stagecoach or covered wagon in front of the Conrad Hilton Hotel, official convention headquarters, on busy Michigan Avenue.
Colburn said "I think they'll be honest-to-goodness Indians" but definitely not the South Dakota Sioux who helped Democratic Rep. Quentin Burdick beat out a Republican for the Senate a couple of weeks ago.
Officers Just Relaxing
LONDON—(UPI)—Police sped to the Chelsea Branch of Coutts Bank after two "suspicious loiterers" were reported in the vicinity. The "suspicious loiterers" turned out to be bank security guards.

The Rev. Lamar Williamson said he "didn't like leaving when the chips were down." He vowed to return.
PRINCETON, N.J.—(UPI) A-34 year-old Monticello, Ark., Presbyterian missionary recently evacuated from the strike-torn Congo, where he lived three years on the edge of tribal warfare, wants to go back.
Williamson arrived here Saturday to rest at the home of his brother-in-law, Dr. Frank W. Bliss. He left the Congo last Wednesday.

Williamson was a teacher of native pastors and also helped run a teacher training program which enrolled more than 100 Congolese.
Williamson said his evacuation was a precautionary measure ordered by U.S. officials in the Congo.

Second-Hand Bargains Available in Buttons
"Two of our three stations were in danger," Williamson said, "but at no time did I feel endangered by either the current anti-white outbreak or the tribal warfare."
LOS ANGELES—(UPI)—Anvone wanna buy an old Stevenson button? A Symington hat? A Johnson cane?

If so, you can be put in touch with the right party.
If you hang on to the stuff for a couple of hundred years or so, it may be worth as much as Confederate money. If not, you can always bequeath it to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.
It's obvious that the market for second-hand campaign material isn't exactly booming at the moment, but if you're looking for bargains, this is the time to buy.

Nothing is more depressing than to be cheered up by a losing candidate. I doubt that even the British, faced with the loss of another colony, could put on such a display of stifterlipmanship.
ThriftiCheck
When I arrived at the Democratic Convention headquarters on the morning after, the Biltmore Hotel lobby, scene of so much frivolity earlier this week, had a wilted look. It looked the way your petunia plants look when you get back from a vacation.
Douglas County STATE BANK
900 Mass.
A few people were wandering around, eyes glazed and faces blank, as though in a state of shock. I didn't need a medical license to recognize the symptoms of mass hangoveritis.
In view of what happened last Wednesday night, every politician on the premises had either a victory to celebrate or a sorrow to drown. And to tell the truth, I wasn't feeling 'too chipper myself.
I was a bit startled, therefore, to hear the strains of Dixieland music pouring from the Symington headquarters. Thinking perhaps that they hadn't gotten the word yet, I went over to break the news.
A Symingtonian at the door told me the information had indeed leaked out and that the campaign staff was having a party. Somehow, it made me think of the passengers on the Titanic.
In the Johnson headquarters, the candidate himself was addressing his flock, making lame little jokes that drew limp little laughs. No
Texan need go home with any regrets, he said.
Somehow it made me think of the Alamo.
That was before anybody knew Johnson would be the vice presidential nominee.
A goodly portion of those spear-carriers who did so much to raise the decibel count at the convention hall had returned to the Stevenson headquarters to commune again with their candidate.
They almost staged another demonstration as Stevenson, an old hand at this sort of thing, arrived to bestow his benediction.
But somehow I couldn't bear to hear another swan song. So I ducked out.
