Spic And Span Grade School Pupils Exhibit Work In Dallas Borough Dallas Borough grade school child- ren, dressed in their Sunday best, proudly showed their parents around their classrooms Monday night, to admire the art work posted on the blackboards and inspect work pro- jects on tables and desks. From 7 to 9 p.m. the halls were thronged with visitors. Small child- ren gazed wide-eyed at the exhibits, and longed for ‘the time when they could join their elder brothers and sisters at school. Small ushers greet- ed parents in the halls and at the door of each classroom. Murals spilled out from the class- rooms and decorated the halls. Visi- tors stopping to inspect them were urged to sign their names to the register, to swell the total of the largest attendance on record for a spring exhibit. Kindergarten rooms buzzed with excitement as parents visited the four airy rooms and marvelled over the clay modelling, finger painting, and craft work. Mrs. Charles James, Barbara Clark, Polly Lou VandeHout, and Mrs. Marie Borton held open house, Mrs. Borton and Mrs. James on the first floor, and Mrs. VandenHout and Miss Clark in the more recently opened rooms on the second floor. Most visitors were convoyed to a special room first, then made a me- thodical tour of the building. First Grade Has Map Mrs. Arline Rood’s first grade featured a large map of Dallas, with dots and numbers to show where each child lives, and a correspond- ing directory. Trees, animals, birds and leaves made ‘the blackboards gay. Emily Ziegenfus’ picture of three perky little deer in a forest was especially eye-arresting. Skaters with improbable joint structure glided over the ice in a mural. Eric Mayer's painstaking relief picture in colored clay, of a land- scape with trees, flowering shrubs, birds and beasts, showed compre- hension of line and color beyond his years. Bird Seed Penguins In Mrs. Antoinette Mason's second grade the accent was on nature, with three-dimensional cut-out birds, leaf transparencies, and intricate pictures of flowers. In bas-relief against a background of Polar snow and ice, were parades of pumpkin- seed penguins, salvaged from the quantities of bird-food which Mrs. Mason’s class always collects in quantity for winter visitors to the bird-feeders. = Picnic Grounds Harveys Lake PHONE H.L. 92531 TRY OUR EXCELLENT FOOD ® From a delicious sandwich to a full course dinner. ® Complete and Improved Menu. ® Foods and Drinks Reasonably Priced. — C. CONDARAS — proprietor On the work tables were instru- ments of all kinds, made of things such as bottle - caps, sandpaper blocks, and gourds. One blackboard was devoted to pictures of going to the library. { Miss Cornelia Davis’ third grade showed two very nice murals, and the usual assortment of seasonal paintings, plus a large flower piece with three-dimensional flowers. “The Rail-Splitter” was the product of fifteen students. It showed Honest Abe against a background of winter forest, plying his trade alongside his log cabin. “By the Sea” showed a boat and a dredge alongside a pier, with appropriate figures in the fore- ground and a lighthouse in the back- ground. Upstairs in Mrs. Louise Colwell’s fourth grade room, the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria sailed a calm sea. Pupils had made delicate green shadow-boxes containing flow- er pictures. Billy McCarty’s horse and rider was especially noteworthy. Out in the upper hall was a mural painted by Sharon Phillips, Jean Fleming, and Susan Smith, showing types of transportation common in Holland, Lapland and Iceland. Shop projects were displayed in both fifth and sixth grade rooms, with supplementary exhibits in the hall. Both the upper grades showed more mature paintings, a conception of history and geography as related to the present and the area, and a departure from the intensely per- sonal viewpoint of the younger chil- dren. Civic consciousness was clear- ly seen. Beneath The Sea Mrs. Ethel B. Williams’ fifth grade room featured an intricate map of the United States with an explana- tory work-table beneath, showing products and animals of various regions, neatly labelléd, and with a wealth of detail. “Beneath the Sea” was given a large space on the blackboard, with brightly colored Area 6 PSER Enjoys Banquet Installs Officers At Annual Function New officers for Area 6, Pennsyl- vania State Education Association, were installed at the annual dinner held at The Castle Thursday even- ing, Edgar Hughes, Jr., relinquish- ing the chair to Mrs. Martha Smith, Lake-Noxen high school. Elected at the March meeting, for installation at the annual dinner, were Mrs. Smith, president; Edward Edwards, Lehman-Jackson-Ross, vice presi- dent; Mrs. Oce Austin, Monroe Township, secretary; Barbara Clark, Dallas Borough, treasurer. Lester B. Squier, supervising principal of Lehman-Jackson-Ross, gave the invocation, Myron Moss, president of Lehman-Jackson-Ross Educators’ Association, extended welcome, and Edgar Hughs, retiring president, was master of ceremonies. Wesley Davies, assistant County Superintendent, made a few re- marks after greetings by George Chintala, president of Luzerne County PSEA. T. Stuart Williams, president of N. E. District, PSEA, spoke briefly. Lucy Valero, past president of California, Pa., PSEA, talked about her trip to Manila and her exper- iences in the Philippines during the 1956 Fifth Annual Assembly of the World Confederation of Organiza- | tions of the Teaching Profession, the largest teachers’ group in the world with a membership of two and a half millions, established as fish and marine creatures swimming below the surface. A departure was a section devoted to kites of various kinds, dragons, seahorses, butterflies, and naqvelties. Billy Zigenfuss’ dragon kite showed beautiful coloring and composition. Artistic talent runs in that family. The focus of attention in John Mulhern’s sixth grade was a colorful scribble - mural, where haphazard lines and curves were filled in with strong color and definite outline, accented with black, to form a dec- orative piece of work which was most unusual. One of the smaller spaces apparently suggested a can- ary, so it was painted yellow and supplied with an eye and bill. Hall murals varied from Hallo- ween masks and nesting robins, to Columbus and Thanksgiving, taking in flowers and valentines and birds and flowers on the way. Murals in the main were the product of a num- ber of children and were developed in a number of media, including tempera, crayon, water color, and cut-outs. > JHE NOTHING FREE CHICK DAY! 10 HEAVY BREED CHICKS To one (1) member of each family TO BUY!

HENRY'S JEWELRY Main St. Dallas Teen-Age Gangs Eyed In Thett Ralph Balut's Car Wheels Are Stolen Two wheels were stolen some time Monday night from Ralph Balut’s Ford in West Dallas. When Mr. Balut went out after breakfast Tues- day morning to start for Wilkes- Barre, he found his car canted at a crazy angle, one wheel gone from the rear, one from the front, both on the same side. He had parked it as usual in the long driveway Monday night. Jay Bloomer, assistant chief of Dallas Township police, is inclined to think that loss of the car wheels may tie in with teen-age gang acti- vities. Unruly youths from other areas have been making a nuisance of themselves at the bowling alleys recently. Mrs. Balut is the brave woman who beat off an assailant who at- tacked her with a stick ten years ago in the same driveway, when she was about to enter her car to visit Mr. Balut in the hospital, where he was on the critical list from bleed- ing gastric ulcers. bought a German shepherd dog. Re- cently the dog died of old age. He will be replaced immediately, Mrs. Balut says. He's A Genuine Black Dog, And He's Lost Three of Fred Houlihan's children have agreed to contribute $1.50 apiece from their piggy banks to- ward a $5 reward offered for return of their lost dog. Jiggs disappeared from his home on the Tunkhannock highway Friday evening when a visi- ting child left the door open. Jiggs, a small dog of miscellaneous ancestry, was abandoned as a puppy last year, and taken in by the Houli- han children. When Mrs. Houlihan asked Dr. George Flack for a guess as to his breed, Dr. Flack reflected dubiously for a moment, sizing up Jiggs’ points. “T'd say unhesitatingly, Mrs. Houl- ihan,” he said, “that Jiggs is a gen- uine black dog.” He has a spot of white under his chin. He will be so happy to be approached in a kindly manner that he will answer to anything from Jiggs to Maggie. His license number is 13912. Russell Major Stationed In Germany Since March Pvt. Russell L. Major, son of Mr. and Mrs. Corey Major of Lehman, is stationed in Germany, assigned overseas in March. Pvt.
