Retired Teachers Are Honored
At Shavertown PTA Meeting
About one hundred parents and
teachers attended the Shavertown
PTA meeting recently in Shaver-
town Grade School to pay tribute
to Miss Ruth Lamoreaux and Mrs,
Ralph Hazeltine.
These two popular teachers, for-
mer faculty members of Kingston
Township, received many glowing
tributes. William Burnaford enter-
tained with delightful vocal selec-
tions accompanied by Mrs. Verus
Weaver. Mrs. Dan Shaver who spoke
in behalf of the parents added much
zest and humor to the affair. She
presented the guests of honor with
corsages of yellow roses. Supervis-

It’s a matter of opinion whether
hall closets are entirely responsible
for the contemporary jitteriness of
society. The countryman can put
his finger on a few other items that
jar his nerve-endings. He worries
over how low to the ground auto-
mobiles can be safely built; he
wishes he could have more dried
apple pies and that his ‘teen-age
daughters did not so plathly show
they felt the old man was a back
number. But there is no question
a thorough reorganization of the
nation’s hall closets would have a
soothing and salubrious result on
raw nerve-endings. The condition
of the hall closet in the average
home, a man believes, is symbolical
of the mixed-up national and inter-
national situations.
Technically a hall closet should
contain outdoor clothes, rubbers
and galoshes. A random sampling
shows that the typical closet has in
addition: a pile of five-year-old
magazines, the sewing machine, vac-
uum cleaner, Junior’s tennis racket
and saxophone, a shelful of old
hats, three picture puzzles, miscel-
laneous books, four empty candy
boxes and that eight volume set of

VIRUS PNEUMONIA
When any disease occurs more
frequently in any community, it
does not mean - that a danger-
ous epidemic will take place. How-
ever,it is logical that the more
susceptible persons should exer-
cise caution in conserving the body
defenses against apparent infection,
and they should make some reason-
able effort to improve their con-
stitutional resistance and in addi-
tion, they should avoid any con-
dition that would lower their vital-
ity. It is not the intent or pur-
pose of this article ‘to arouse un-
necessary fear and anxiety nor
does the writer believe in false
predictions of things to come, but
he does have a healthy respect
for the common sense reactions
of intelligent human beings.
Research studies have shown that
the extent of local infections can
be increased by factors that exist
in the testes and kidneys, par-
ticularly in testicular extract. These
factors can diffuse easily through
body tissues, and the effect seems
to depend on increased permea-
bility of the tissue rather than an
altered permeability of the cells.
Investigations have shown this
spreading factor to be present in
filtrates of cultures of invasive
streptococci, staphylococci and
pneumonococci bacteria. In most
cases a direct relationship existed
between the amount of spreading
factor and the size of the pneu-
monic lesions.
Hemolytic streptococci were re-
covered from the nose and throat
of these patients. Many of these
individuals thought they had con-
tracted no more than a moderate
sore throat common in many acute
respiratory infections. The benign
role of hemolytic streptococci is
important .in these persons with
influenza since the combination
may produce serious disease.
Accurate diagnosis is important
chiefly as a basis for proper ther-
apy. In acute respiratory disease
there seems to be a tendency to
base the diagnosis on the result
or on the effects of therapy. It
is impossible to prescribe intelli-
gently or to interpret results with-
out accurate diagnosis. : Routine
physical examination and correla-
tive laboratory studies are more
important than X-Ray examina-
tion of the chest. In many cases
the physical signs have been clearly
evident on careful examination
and the X-Ray findings showed
only a portion of the lung involve-
ment, even after a re-check on the
X-Ray study.

HALL CLOSETS
Mother bought from a smooth book
salesman in 1938 at only $1.49 a
month for 24 months.
A card table leans against one
side and usually tips inward when
a man gets his coat. If there's a
baby in the family some of the
larger toys are mixed with rubbers
and overshoes. In a back corner is
the cardboard carton in which Jun-
ior collected rock specimens three
summers ago and which Mother
says she would move to his room if
it weren't already so cluttered with
his cherished debris that she
doesn’t dare throw out. If the
dictionary is a home prop there's
some comfort in reading one of
Noah's definitions of a closet; a
small room or recess for household
utensils, clothing, etc. About once
a week from October to May Father
remarks, ‘I wish some one would
organize this place so it doesn’t
resemble a junk pile” Once a
week from October to May Mother
murmurs cooperatively. “I must
clean it out right away.” Modern
functional architecture has perti-
nent points, but the ideal home
would be a big closet surrounded
by rooms.

Familiar as it is to all of us, no poem of World War I caught
the spirit of idealism behind the ordinar Idier bet
Canadian John McCrae's: Dorie Sorter Han
IN FLANDERS FIELDS
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the Crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard among the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
But best, I think, is Rupert Brooke's
THE SOLDIER
If I should die think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed:
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by the suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
One of the most promising literary figures in England, Rupert
Brooke a member of the British army, died during the Dardan-
elles campaign in 1915. He it was who wrote these lines in
THE GREAT LOVER
.... These have I loved:
White plates and cups, clean gleaming,
Ringed with blue lines; and feathery, faery dust;
Wet roofs, beneath the lamp-light; the strong crust
Of friendly bread; and many-tasting food;
Rainbows; and blue bitter smoke of wood;
And radiant raindrops couched in cool flowers:
And flowers, themselves, that sway through sunny hours,
Dreaming of moths that drink them under the moon;
Then, the cool kindness of sheets, that soon
Smooth away trouble; and the rough male kiss
Of blankets; grainy wood; live hair that is
Shining and free; blue-massing clouds; the keen
Unpassioned beauty of a great machine;
The benison of hot water; furs to touch;
The good smell of old clothes; and other such— »
The comfortable smell of friendly fingers,
Hair’s fragrance, the musty reek that lingers
About dead leaves and last year’s ferns . . . . .
! Dear names,
And thousand other throng to me! Royal flames;
Sweet water's dimpling laugh from tap or spring;
Holes in the ground; and voices that do sing;
Voices in laughter, too; and body’s pain,
Soon turned to peace; and the deep-panting train;
Firm sands; the little dulling edge of foam
That browns and dwindles as the wave goes home;
And washen stones, gay for an hour; the cold
Graveness of iron; moist black earthen mold;
Sleep; and high places; footprints in the dew;
And oaks; and brown horse chestnuts, glossy-new;
And new-peeled sticks; and shining pools on grass;—
All these have been my loves. And these shall pass,
Whatever passes not, in the great hour,
Nor all my passion, all my prayers have power
To hold them with me through the gate of Death.
They'll play deserter, turn with the traitor breath,
Break the high bond we made, and sell Love's trust
And sacramented covenant to the dust.
—Oh, never a doubt but, somewhere, I shall wake,
New friends, now strangers
But the best I've known,
Stays here, and changes, breaks, grows old, is blown
Abut the winds of the world, and fades from brains
Of living men, and dies. Sa
Nothing remains.
O dear my loves, O faithless, once again
This one last gift I give; that after men 1 y
Shall know, and later lovers, far-removed, ¢ |
Praise you, “All these were lovely”; say, ‘He loved.” } i
THE DUG-OUT j I
(St. Venant, July 1918) i
Why do you lie with your legs ungainly huddled, 1 i
And one arm bent across your sullen, cold,
Exhausted face? It hurts my heart to watch you,
Deep-shadowed from the candle’s guttering gold;
And you wonder why I shake you by the shoulder;
Drowsy, you mumble and sigh and turn your head . . .
You are too young to sleep forever;
And when you sleep you remind me of the dead.
—Siegfried Sassoon.
