| A total of 75 boys, ranging
|from ages 12 to 16 inclusive, at-
| tended the meeting held under
| the auspices of the Patton Sports-
men's Assn. by the committee of
| Robert Miller, Kenneth Steir and
| Jerry Sheehan.
| The boys showed a keen inter-
|est in the technique of handling
| guns for safety purposes and the
| paraphernalia to be used in fish-
|ing. Many questions were asked
{relative to the proper observance
of game and fishing laws.
| While no definite date was set |
for the next meeting of Junior |
Sportsmen, it . tentatively has |
been set for Apr. 4 at 8 p. m. at
the Moose Hall. Any change from
this time will be published in this
paper.

They report a total of two grays
and two reds bagged during the
week but because the by-laws of
this organization prohibit the ex-
ploitations of individuals, names
cannot be published as it is con-
sidered a collective unit and all
achievements and accomplish-
ments must be held as a group.
The two grays were killed on
Saturday before noon and the af-
ternoon was spent in tracking a
red fox. “Skerdigit” was hot on
the trail of the red and proved,
to the entire satisfaction of the
rest of the group by his stealthy
and swift pursuit through the un-
derbrush, that it was red but lo|
and behold, it was a stray red |
dog who made the track.

| Wednesday of last week, Mrs.
| Pauline O’Leary, head of the PHS
{Home Economics Dept, attended
| a home economics program dem-
onstration at the Indiana State
Teachers’ College. The demonstra-
tion showed how an inegrated
{ program for home economics
| could be carried out at the junior
| high school level.
Mrs. C. Berth, home “ec” ad-
| viser from Eastern Pennsylvania,
| explained teacher-pupil planning
| before activities, with each group
{carrying out their own separate
| activities, divided into four gro-
|ups: Human Relationships, Our
| Environment, Personal Appear-
| ance and Foods and Nutrition.
Mrs. Berth explained that the
lidea is to preserve as nearly as
| possible the home-like atmosphere
| while carrying on the various
{home activities in classes.
She further explained that it is
|important that emphasis be pla-
ced on a happier home in which
every person has a part. She
|stated that in breaking down
{home making into its component
| parts we are getting away from
| the subject and that the impor-
| tant thing is the family and fam-
lily life, the “home” and not the
| “house”’—homemaking rather than
| housekeeping.
Dr. Pauline Sanders of the State
| Dept. of Public Instruction and
other home economics advisers
| from various schools in this sec-
{tion of the state also attended
