On Advantages Of Consolidation
(Continued from Page One)
“If jointure is planned,” sug-
gested Mr. Aurand, “certain prin-
ciples must be observed.”
“Need must be recognized.
“Thorough and long distance
planning is necessary, with con-
sideration of travel barriers, town-
ship organizations, and financing
as well as educational advantages.
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.

“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.
