WILLIAM A. AUSTIN
Know Your Neighbor
Don’t let that William ‘A. fool ‘you.
He's still Arch Austin, all 230 pounds
of him, and tall enough and broad
enough of beam to carry the pound-
age without losing the proportions
that made him a four-letter man at
Bloomsburg.
‘With Arch, it was a toss-up
whether to go in for Physical Edu-
cation preeminently, or just coach
on the side while pursuing his
favorite studies in science.
He could have been a professional
golfer and he's a past-master at
skiing, but jit was in football, base-
ball, basketball and track that he
earned his letters.
Mr. Austin, [Supervising Principal
‘of Monroe Township schools, is an
educator who considers education as
three-dimensional, not confined to
the class-room. [Solid citizenship is
his goal, with courses tailored to
the demands of a rural community.
It is in the interest of fostering
citizenship, freely translated as good
sportsmanship, that he sponsors the
annual vacation trip to (Canada for
the older boys in Beaumont school.
After graduation, the expedition
gets under way for a two weeks
fishing jaunt, unencumbered by
good clothes, fancy fixings, or the
female of the species.
Straight north they drive, towing
a boat trailer bearing a fourteen-
foot runabout with outboard motor,
a twelve-foot canoe, and a rubber
boat. The cars are loaded with
equipment for roughing it, with
enough dried milk and eggs and
other staples to reduce the high
cost of vacationing,
Arch says it can be done for a
dollar a daly, with fish for the main-
stay of the meals. Any boy from
fourteen up who can raise the price
is eligible to go, and graduate
students nostalgic for their former
school and associates, are welcome.
The annual fishing trip has been
going on for a long time, ever since
it. With the end of World War II,
the June trek was resumed.
The destination is Long Lake,
Ontario. Usually the housing is
cabins, though one ‘year the boys
camped on an island. That year the
campers reported that they got aw-
fully tired of dried eggs and milk,
but ‘that they certainly kept down
expenses,
This year the expedition will be
postponed until later in the summer,
on account of a projected tour of the
country, in the course of which Mr.
and Mrs. ‘Austin expect to cover a
reat deal of territory.
If they follow accepted tradition,
they will write it all up and ‘publish
it on the installment plan in the
Dallas Post,
The trip is in the mature of an
antidote for the time Arch took his
wife to Canada, and bunked lin a
moose-hunter’s cabin.
Mrs. Arch woke up in the middle
of the might with a sensation of
movement in her bed.
“Arch ”, she hissed, “what’s wrong
with the bed ?”
“Nothing’s wrong,” he grunted
sleepily, “g'wan back to sleep.”
Mrs. Arch subsided.
In the morning she looked up
toward a rafter, and ‘there , frisk-
ing along the logs, one after another,
were dozens of little deer-mice.
And in the bed, deep beneath the
covers, ‘was the evidence.
All the big boys around Beaumont
know how to handle guns. Each
year school is dismissed for the
first day of the deer season, and the
principal guides a party into the
woods for a day of hunting.
Mr. Austin says that principles of
good sportsmanship learned in the
woods will stand by boys ‘when they
are men.
The ski-lift at Traver's Park is
one of his pet projects. This year
there have been only two weeks of
favorable weather for skiing, but one
week providentially came during the
Christmas vacation, anfl the ski-lift
| was busy hoisting students to the’
summit,
Mr. Austin has (been principal at
Beaumont since 1932, a teacher
there for four years previous to that.
World War II interrupted, with
1940, though ‘the war years cut into |

Parents Reject
Purple Heart
Arthur Brown Returns
Symbol Of Sacrifice
Brioken-hearted parents of Corp.
Frederick Brown, killed in Korean
action November 2, have returned to
headquarters the Order of the Purple
Heart and an engraved scroll,
awarded ito their son posthumously.
Mr. and Mrs. ‘Arthur Brown, Dal-
las, claim that they want mo part
of an award for ia death which they
hold was due to a blunder in placing
an untrained man in the forefront
of the battle.
Corp. Brown was trained for the
heavy artillery at Fort (Sill, Okla-
Works, and subsequently in charge
of personnel for the remaining ‘two
and a half years.
Back again as supervising princi-
pai, Mr. Austin varies his admini-
strative post by teaching physics and
chemistry in alternating years, also
biology and science on the same plan
of rotation.
And of course there is always a
team ‘to coach.
. It’s the principal's coaching that
makes the bigger boys invincible at
baseball during the fishing ex-
pedition. Parham, Canada, the chal-
lengers, can .always mop up the
Beaumont boys at softball, but when
the switch is made to hardball, they
cave.
Biology is his favorite subject,
and the one he would teach by pre-
ference . He took ‘three summers of
biology at ‘Susquehanna to add a
fourth wear of work and a degree
of BS to the three-year course at
Bloomsburg.
He obtained a Masters degree at
Pennsylvania [State in Educational
Administration,
It was while he was vice president
of the Dramatic Club at Bloomsburg
that he met the future Mrs. Austin,
then Oce Beryl Williams of Edwards-
ville. She tried out for a part, and
made a conquest. They were married
in 1924.
Ms. Austin, in addition to teaching
alongside her husband in Beaumont
School, takes time to write a snappy
local column for the Dallas Post.
Arch goes dredging up ‘the bottom
of Bowman's Creek every once in
a while, in company of Chuck Reiff,
head of Biology Department at
Wilkes. On one of these occasions
the two of them stirred up an enor-
mous brown trout, fit partner to the
one which is mounted at Travers
Park. The pair made a futile grab
for it, but it eluded them.
Arch says you can’t beat the
brown trout in Bowmans Creek, even
if most of them do get away.
Mr. (Austin’s experience during the
war years laid the foundation for
charter membership and secretary-
ship of Tri“County Personnel Direc-
tors Association of which Dr. Eugene
Farley President of Wilkes, was also
a charter member.
Mr. Austin is a past president of
Wyoming [County Teachers A'ssocia-
tion; past district deputy of Odd
Fellows for Wyoming County; chair-
Fellows for Wyoming County; chair-
man of local unit of the ‘Salvation
Army; manager of the Beaumont
Baseball Club; was chairman of fuel
rationing during the war.
He is a Mason, member of Blooms-
burg Consistory and the Mystic
Shrine. :
Vital statistics show ‘that he was
born in Beaumont, and that his
mother, Adelaide Ryman Austin, 89,
is the oldest living member of the
Richard Ryman family.
Arch waszeducated at Beaumont
for the first three years of high
school, transferring to Wilkes-Barre
for the senior year.
Upon the death of his father, he
ran the farm as well as teaching
school.
His brother, E. Ray Austin, is
supervising principal of Laurel Run
School.
He thas a sister, Mrs. C. D.
Eggleston, who lives at Vernon.
There are no children, but all the
principal operating a turret
the
| Inthe at the Wilkes-Barre Carriage
school «children in Beaumont belong
peculiarly to the Austins, |
homa, receiving almost five months
of intensive training, He had had
absolutely no training in the use
of a rifle.
Arrived in Korea October 8, with
expectation of preliminary training
in use of small arms and infantry |
tactics, he was rushed into battle
without sufficient experience to en-
able him to hold his own against
the enemy.
Mrs. Brown says that if he had
met death in his own outfit, the
967th Armored Field Artillery, hand-
ling one of the big guns with which
he was familiar, the family would
have taken the death as a tragedy,
but not a needless sacrifice of a
teen-age boy. Fred passed his nine-
teenth birthday on the transport
enroute to this death.
