Cost of Living Lower The Government reported this week that the cost of living again dropped slightly in March, but an official said price declines did not mean a depression was in the offing. The consumer price index put the decline at one-half of one per cent below last October’s record high. It was the fourth decline since Oc- tober. “A platonic friendship by any appointing.”’—Frances Rodman.

Schools represented were Dal- las-Franklin, Lake-Noxen and West- Rev. Jule Ayers, pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Wilkes-Barre, was the guest speaker. He spoke on “My Career.” Rev. Ayers gave the students three points to take into consideration when deciding upon a career: (1) get to know your= self (2) be yourself (3) get along with other people. He urged the students to seek to find God's Will for their life. He concluded his talk by emphasizing that no matter what career one pursues, he will be a blessing to his fellowmen, if he com- bines the kind of person he is and his abilities with the needs of the world. The summary of the Career Day program was given by Eugene Teter, Superintendent of Luzerne County Schools, on the subject “Lets Talk About Tomorrow.” The question he asked the students was ‘“What are you going to do about what you heard in the various career confer- ences you've had during the day?” He sighted the example of a cham- pion in any field, giving these four points which make for success: (1) a champion uses that which he has (2) a champion trains and keeps fit, (3) a champion always does his level best, (4) a champion never gives up. » Between the main address and the summary, students attended two separate sessions during which time they were privileged to hear an ex- pert present and discuss questions in a chosen field. Vocations pre- sented during these two - periods were: Secretary, stenographer, typ- ist, receptionist, bookkeeping, ac- countant, dramatics, mechanical en- gineer, farming, social work, electri- cal engineering, radio announcer and repairmen, machine trade, tool designer, mechanics, forestry and game warden, modeling, dressmak- ing, actress, beautician, music, nurs- ing, air pilot, air hostess, telephone operator, (police service and FBI, teacher, women and men armed ser- vices, aviation mechanics, commer- cial artist, interior decorating, jour- nalism, minister, YW and YMCA secretary.
