music supervisor, and such, other
joint teachers as required to be
selected by the board. Election
of these joint employes to be con-
firmed by ‘the separate district |
boards and so entered in their
minutes. Such employes to be re-
ported for state appropriation re-
imbursement by the district boards
in accordance with existing laws
and practices approved by the
State Department of Public Instruc-
tion.
Joint employes to be paid by
i the several boards their pro rata
| share of the total salary based on
the number of pupils or as other-
wise recommended by the’ state
department and approved by the!
joint board. (The above is nothing
new. Messrs. Tennyson’ and Wil-
liammee, former Dallas Principals,
have similar jobs at the present
time.)
District share of traveling ex-
penses of joint employes to be pro
‘rated the same as the salaries.’
The state would pay about 80%
| of traveling expenses.
Elementary Schools
Present elementary schools to be
retained. Pupils to be transferred,
where desirable on a tuition basis’
to relieve crowding, reduce trans-;
portation expense, or improve in-
struction.
Junior High Schools
Junior high schools, grades 7,
8, and 9, with standardized courses
to be maintained in Dallas Borough,
Dallas Township, and Kingston
Township.
Present courses in home econom-
ics and shop to be discontinued.
In lieu thereof establish three-year
courses in all the occupations and!
vocations of life, including profes-
sional occupations, to give pupils
an insight into the preparation re-
quired, nature of work, opportun-
ities, and rewards to be expected.
A week or more to be devoted to
each occupation with reading, mov-
ies, and lectures by present occu-
pants of the various fields. Trips
to be offered to groups. All books,
movies, etc. to be bought coopera-
tively and left in jurisdiction of
the Back Mountain Memorial Li-
brary. Course to be arranged, so
that same work will not be taught
in two schools simultaneously. Pur-
pose of this course is to give pupils
some idea of what they want to
do in later life and help them to
select their senior high courses at
the end of the ninth year.
This would cost a lot of money
but would be worth it.
Senior High Schools
Senior high schools in grades 10,
11, and 12 to be maintained in
a
Trucksville, Dallas Borough, and
Dallas Township.
Courses to be reviewed and
changed so that while different in
subject matter there would be no
wide difference in the amount of
pupil preparation required or work
done. In other words, present
courses known locally as, “Slack-
ers’ Paradise”, to be strengthened.
Subjects required of all pupils
such as English, history, and prob-
lems of democracy, to be taught
in all schools.
Elective courses where there is
now a duplication of effort, small
class enrollment, and only part
time use of equipment to be taught
in only one or two schools. This
is a very complicated matter and
would require careful study. The
following suggestions are general
and not intended as final.
Discontinue
Dallas Borough: business sub-
jects, home economics, shop, bi-
ology, chemistry, physics. :
Dallas Township: mathematics
above algebra, business courses,
shop except for agricultural work,
foreign languages. 3
Kingston Township: agricultural
subjects, foreign languages, biology,
chemistry, physics.

ay ‘Annual Spring Concert
At Lake High School
l 40 members and the Mixed Chorus
| the beginning of the year it was
! and add a band.
THE POST, FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1948
The students of Lake Township
High School, under the direction
of their Music Supervisor, Miss
Jeane Haughwout, will present the
annual Spring Concert on Wednes-
day, May 5 at 8:00 P.M. in the
High School Auditorium.
The program will feature for the
first time the band which was
organized at the beginning of this
year. In addition to.the band will
be the Girls’ Chorus, the Boys’
Chorus, the Mixed Chorus, and
several solo and group numbers
by outstanding students.
The first half of the program
will consist of numbers by the
Choruses and vocal soloists. There
will be Folk Songs, Negro Spirituals
and popular classics... During the
year these groups have performed
before the assemblies at various
times, as well as before local groups
such as local church programs and
other organizations. The Girls’
Chorus ‘has grown to approximately
to 30 members.
The remainder of the program
will consist of a concert by the
band in which Forrest Sorber will
play a trumpet solo, and Arnold
Garinger and Margaret Truska will
play a clarinet duet.
Previous to this the school has
maintained an orchestra only. At
decided to continue the orchestra
At the present
time the band consists of 37 mem-
bers. A program to obtain uni-
forms for the band is being spear-
headed by the Alumni Association
who presented a play last Wednes-
day. The funds from this play
form the nucleus of the Uniform
Fund.
Purchases Shook Store :
George Emke, Centermoreland
merchant, has purchased the store
formerly owned and operated by
Walter Shook. Mr. Emke will re-
model his present store building
into a modern super market, and
the former Shook store will be re-
novated and opened as an up-to-
date hardware and general store.
Reorganization
This would require transfer of
pupils to other schools on a tuition
basis, whole or part time, and re-
organization of courses in senior
high schools as follows:
To Kingston Township: alf® busi-
ness students, students in indus-
trial arts except agriculture stu-
dents, Kingston Township A home
economics pupils, pupils majoring
in higher mathematics.
To Dallas Township: all agricul-
tural students, Dallas Township
and Dallas Borough home econom-
ics students, students majoring in
biology, chemistry, and physics.
To Dallas Borough: college prep-
aratory students majoring in for-
eign languages and mathematics.
This selection is made because of
the proximity of the Library. See
note below regarding sciences.
All courses to be standardized
to permit pupils to transfer at’ the
end of any year.
. Equipment to be transferred to
schools requiring it with credit
allowed.
Since Dallas Borough and Town-
ship schools are so close, certain
pupils could be transferred during
the day or for certain days per
week to complete work in science,
etc. not taught in the other school.
Conclusion
This stop-gap plan would require
practically no expense for building
facilities.
It would require transfer of only
part of the pupils instead of all
of them under a general consoli-
dation.
Each district would retain
high school.
Several less teachers would be
required.
Teachers specializing in a limited
field could offer better instruction.

Shavertown Builders
Enroll In Blue Cross
Employes of: Shavertown Builders
Supply Co., were among the most-
recently enrolled groups now eligi-
ble for Blue Cross hospital service
benefits, quarterly reports of the
Northeastern Pennsylvania Plan
show.
During the January-through-
March period, new groups were
enrolled at a rate exceeding one
new group each work day. Of the
86 groups enrolled, 1 in every 5
carried with it employer partici-
pation toward payment of dues,
although Blue Cross does not re-
quire this.
Over 2,000 members used hos-
pitalization’ each month of the
period, with their savings during
that time approaching the half-
million dollar mark at $431,313.78.
Utilization of hospital serveces for
maternity care continued higher in
this Plan than the average experi-
ence in Blue Cross Plans elsewhere.
Enrollment of pre-existing Blue
Cross groups for the additional
health protection afforded by the
Blue Shield medical-surgicgl Plan
also was active during the quarter,
with March 31 membership listed
as 6,166.

, Are YOU Going Thru
CHANGE
of LIFE?
causing you to suffer from
HOT FLUSHES?
Does the functional ‘middle-age’
period peculiar to women (38-52
yrs.) make you suffer from hot
flushes, feel so nervous, high-
strung, irritable, weak? Then po
try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound to relieve such symp-
toms. It’s famous for this!
Taken regularly —Pinkham’s
Compound helps build up resist-
ance against such ‘middle-age’
distress. It’s what Doctors call a
uterine sedative. It positively con-
tains no opiates—no habit-forming
drugs. Pinkham’s Compound helps
nature (you know what we mean).
It’s also a great stomachic tonic!
