Peter Westfield
(A Tribute)
In the passing of Peter Westfield
a void will be left in the hearts of
many in the Back Mountain. Mr.
Westfield’s gas station was a meet-
ing place for young and old on hot
summer evenings or on the long,
snowy nights of winter.
Genial and generous “Pete” al-
ways had a good word; stimulating
the convensation with shrewd re-
marks abeut politics or ready with
a humerous story. An evening at
Pete’s was something to look for-
ward to.
Young men preferred his place
because of the clean, kindly recep-
tion that always awaited them. They
and many others will hold him long
in memory.

Special Session
More Teachers
May Be Answer
Dallas Borough-Kingston Town-
ship Joint School Board held a
special meeting Tuesday evening, to
consider whether additional teach-
ers should be employed in the ele-
mentary schools of the district.
The district has three elementary
schools and has provided an extra
teacher for grades one and three.
The school grades where the size
of the classes was of particular
interest were grades two, three,
four and six. An increase of forty-
five pupils has enrolled in grades
one to six. Most of the nearby
schools report a decrease in enroll-
ment for those grades.
The several problems involved
are: where will the school board get
the money to pay the salaries of
any additional teachers; what empty
classrooms are available; how would
the pupils be transported to the ad-
ditional class, since the increased
number of pupils is not near any
one of the elementary schools.
The finance committee was in-
structed to check the budget items
and report on the possibility of fin-
ancing the hiring of additional
teachers and equipping additional
classrooms.
