Teachers, administrators, parents, and teachers should have a voice. Realistic geographical planning is necessary. In closing, Mr. Aurand said that our children deserve the best we can give them. The present gen- eration of adults has not lived up to its opportunities. Amends should be made to the coming generation. Civilization rests upon the attitude toward children. Questions and Answers The question period started with a query by Charles Eberle: Q. “What about the future? Can a future governor, by a stroke of the pen, force communities to con- solidate whether they want to or not?” A. Nothing drastic is contem- plated, and probably there will be no sweeping changes, but there is no guarantee. Q. Mrs. Harry Schooley: Would a union school mean that all schools in an area would join to- gether ? A. No. Geographical location would control that. Q Lester Squier, Supervising Principal of Lehman: Is jointure favored over complete union ? A. Yes. Jointure is the first step. Q Dr. L. E. Jordan: Would a four-way jointure be good or bad? A. It would be good, even if not formed as an initial first step. Parenthetically, Dr. Aurand stat- ed that he had great faith in school directors, felt that they were the only direct contact with the people, and was in favor of retaining them, the usual number to each of the joining districts. It would be dis- astrous to reduce the numbers drastically. Q. Dr. Jordan: Please elaborate on long-term jointure, A. Problems change, even with the first year. There should be at least a five year plan, twenty if building is contemplated. Q. Lettie Culver: Is is true that Pennsylvania ranks 34th in educa- tion ? A. Under no set of standards does it rank above the middle. Q. Charles Brooke: Do groups such as this Back Mountain Citi- zens’ Committee represent a cross section of public thinking and ad- equately express public opinion? A. Yes. The hope of America is in groups such as this. Q. Mrs. T. M. B. Hicks: To what do you attribute the lowly status of Pennsylvania as 34th in-educa- tion ? A. That is the $64 question. Many factors enter in. Q. Lettie Lee Culver: What courses would be offered in a joint high school which are not offered now ? A. Better equipment could be ex- pected, the use of films for educa- tion, actual farm machinery on hand to teach future farmers how to repair their own equipment; heightened opportunity for the large percentage of students that do not expect to go to college; col- lege preparatory work more in line with college entrance requirements. Q. Mrs. Fred Stevens: What is the most effective way of distribu- ting the children in a school? A. This is controlled by local determination, but the 6-6 unit seems to be the most desirable. Mr. Aurand went on to say that it was advisable to have all chil- dren on the one campus, but that facilities for young children and older students should be separate. Q. Mrs. Schooley: Is jointure consolidation ? A. Yes. It was announced by Dr. Jordan that the next meeting would be held March 26, with Dr. Ray Rob- inson as speaker, the place to be announced later. Hutchison Announces Meeting For Growers James D. Hutchison, Luzerne County Farm Agent announces a meeting of vegetable growers at Luzerne County Agricultural Exten- sion Association office, Wilkes- Barre, March 1, 8 PM to discuss formation of a vegetable auction. Many growers send their produce long distances, Hutchison says, in- stead of supplying the local market, while buyers for chain stores and groups of independent stores ship in their supplies from outside the state. He feels that mutual bene- fit would result from establishment of an auction where such groups could buy local products. Training For Duty On Aircraft Carrier Elwood C.

By d’Alessio andl IL \ Serr “Hilda! How many times must I tell you to de-frost the ice-box!” Mrs. Anna Avery Dies Suddenly Laid To Rest In Forty Fort Plot Though Mrs. Anna F. Avery was 87 years old, it was a great shock to Dallas residents when she died so unexpectedly Friday morning, for there had been no illness and no incapacity to serve as warning. She had gone about her house- hold duties as usual, preparing breakfast for her grand-daughter, Mrs. Louise Colwell and her two great-grandchildren, Beryl and June, had cleared away after the meal and had practically finished washing out and hanging a few small items before being stricken. She had apparently been dead for about an hour when Mrs. Col- well came in at noon for her lunch, to find no table set and no prepar- ations made. Mrs. Avery had col- lapsed in the downstairs hall, passing away almost instantly. There had been a heart condi- tion which had given her occasion- al pain but no disability. She died as she would have wished to die, with no lingering illness. At 87, she had been alert, keep- ing up with news commentators and the daily papers, abreast of the times, interested in her family and the world. She did handwork, sometimes with glasses, sometimes without, and her other senses were equally keen. She prepared the family meals and did the family mending. For seventeen years Mrs. Avery had lived in Dallas with Mrs. Col- well and the two girls, and before that had always been a member of the family. Mrs. Colwell's mother, as well as Mrs, Colwell herself, was an only child, and the home was always kept as a unit. In losing her grandmother, Mrs. Colwell has lost her mother, for her own mother has been dead for 21 years. It was at her own insistence that Mrs. Avery took so active a part in running the household, abhorring being waited upon and wishing only to take care of others. She was born at Smith Hill, daughter of Frank and Elizabeth Williams. As a young child she settled in Larksville with her par- ents, and later in Edwardsville for a long residence. Her husband, Edward Avery, 27 years deceased, served on Edwardsville Borough Council... There was a move to Shavertown, and finally to Main street, Dallas. She was a member of Larks- ville Methodist Church and of Daughters of Liberty. She is survived by two brothers, George W. Williams former Bur- gess of Dallas, and Mark Williams, Kingston; Mrs. Louise Colwell, her only grand-daughter, and Beryl and June, great-grand-daughters. The funeral was held Monday at 2 from Brickel Funeral Home, Rev. Frederick W. Reinfurt officiat- ing, assisted by Rev. William Wil- liams. Burial followed in Forty Fort Cemetery. Mrs. Harold Brobst Ki Hostess To Club Board Mrs. Harold Brobst, Ridge street, p was hostess to members of Dallas Junior Woman's Club at its meet- ing Tuesday night. Mrs. announced that the next meeting would be held at the Prince of Peace Church March 7 when 100% attendance is expected. Mrs, Wil- lard Seymour, a new member, was welcomed to the Club. Mrs. Robert Williams, new music chairman, an- nounced that seventeen Club mem- bers are now enrolled in the Glee Club which in conjunction with the Senior Club members will present a musical in the spring. A supply cabinet and padded quilt have been purchased for the baby clinic. Mrs. Robert Fleming gave a report on the Senior Girl Scout troop being sponsored by the Club. It was announced that two donkey basketball games will be staged in Dallas Township High School April 10. Present at the meeting were Mrs. Howard Jackson, Mrs. Wilson Garinger, Mrs. Allen Montross, Mrs. Ralph Garris, Mrs. James Oliver, Mrs, Harry Clark, Mrs. Rob- ert Fleming, Mrs. Edward Keller, Mrs. Harold Brobst, Mrs. Robert Williams, Mrs. Russell Parsons, Mrs. Harry Ohlman, Mrs. Robert Lewis, Mrs. Robert Brown and Mrs. Alva Eggleston. Bearers and flower carriers were: Frank and Mark Williams; Irvin and George Williams; George and Henry Avery; Stewart McCutcheon, Arch Austin, and Robert Hislop.
