Wom year " together.” _” Most children begin: school each | things. But, oh my, 39 of you . . . fall with mixed feelings—happy to see old friends, a little worried (“What's long division ‘like?”), briefly sorry to see summer go. But the person at the front of the room has just as mingled emotions on Opening Day. What goes through the mind of a typical teacher as she greets rows of rew faces on a September morning ? ¥ we | could overhear the thoughts of one—we might hear this: ‘My name is Mrs. Thompson, and 1 know we're going to have a won- ( And TU "do my darndest to teach you some how can I give you each time?) “I'd like each of you to tell us your name, and what you did this summer.” (You'll probably all claim you launched moonships. That’s all right; I've read enough science ma- terial to choke a Martian!) “Oh, thank you, Johnny. Yes, I had a nice Summer too.” (It cer- tainly was hot down at State U. but, I picked up five more credits toward my M. A. and learned about the ‘new arithmetic” instruction, too.) “l see some of you already are peeking in your new reader. Tomor- row we'll divide into groups and "MAIN ST.

If the bond issue for the new ‘wing had only passed, we wouldn't have to eat in shifts.) “So your mother is serving at the PTA tea, Susie? That's grand; I hope everyone’s parents can come.” (The better 1 know them, the better I'll | be able to teach you.) “What's that, Harold ?. molar? How nice! (That reminds me—the dentist bill.

In art class tomorrow, well try some paper-cutting. ~ Gracious, there's the final bell already. See you tomorrow, and don’t forget your lunch money.” (Sometimes I wish I could do less collecting and book-keeping and a little more teaching.) °' “Thanks for staying to help me wash the blackboards, Jeannie. You're a fine helper, just as your brother was.” (That's the fun of it —seeing you, one after another, grow and learn and move on: My, I'm glad to be back.) Mrs. Thompson may be fictional, but she's not unreal. Like most | teachers, she worries about classes that are too large, buildings that are too old, a salary that’s too small. She begrudges clerical bur- dens that steal precious teaching time. . She's determined to do her job right—and works nights and sum- mers at it. She’s irritable, tender, sentimental, and dedicated — and glad to be back in harness. RYMAN REUNION 15th annual Ryman Reunion was held Saturday, August 20, at Colo- nial Park near Nicholson.

VA 3-2189 T.B. & Polio | | JHUNSDAY, SEP SIAR 1 1060 , California Paint Firm Dupes Scores Of Local Purchasers Scores of Back Mountain residents have been bombarded over a period of weeks with letters from the National Titanium Company of Pico Rivera, California, offering a bar- gain price on exterior white paint claimed to be in an eastern ware- house. . Those who have purchased the paint find it cheap and worthless. The company has been cited by the Federal Trade Commission for its phony approach which is as follows: Gentlemen: In our eastern warehouse we have 60 gallons of our Genuine Exterior White Paint in 5 gallon steel pails and 140 gallons in ones packed four to the carton, which we must move immediately. We will accept $2.75 per gallon delivered in either ones or fives, and you may take all or part of this lot. © This is our highest quality paint, bears our ‘Nitrosol” label and is guaranteed for years of outdoor ex- posure on almost every type of sur- face. The pure titanium in our paint assures you an excellent coverage. The enclosed specifications fully describe this product as to quality, uses, performance and packaging. Paint is fresh stock, will never cake in the can and is in perfect condi- tion. So sincere are we in making this offer we will extend six months credit terms. Because this paint is oi such high quality and worth twice the price, we suggest you take as much of this quantity as you can. (Minimum shipment 8 gallons.) Yours very truly, National Titanium Co., Inc. H. Swimmer According to the Scranton Busi- ness Bureau the original owner of the firm—which claims to have been making paint for twenty-five years —died two years ago. The racket has since been carried on by others, and the letters are always in the same form. If you receive one of these letters forward it with your name and address to the Scranton Business Bureau. If you have purchased any of the paint, let them know your experience with it and the company. In the meantime you will be well advised not to waste your money on the firm’s products. Kunkle Firemen Given A TFitty-Star Flag A fifty star American flag which had flown over the Capitol at Washington was presented to Kun- kle firemen Friday night, when they met in the Fire Hall to trans- act routine business and plan for the September 18 clambake. The flag was presented by Rus- sell Transue, who had arranged for the gift through the offices of State representative William D. Curwood of Shickshinny, who asked The Honorable Daniel Flood to obtain it. Papers authenticating its use in the National Capitol were with the flag. Albert Patton was named chair- man of the clambake. Members heard a report on ‘a recent fire in a metal trailer owned by Edward Klimkowski at Demunds Corners. Peach Harvesting In Back Mountain The peach season started here in the Back Mountain August 8, with the early varieties in scarce supply. Hale Havens are being harvested now, and Elbertas will be picked until frost. Wesley Lewis, Mt. Zion, with 1500 trees repnesenting twenty-two varieties, looks for a normal crop of Elbertas. Pears are scarce, and .the cherry crop was very slim. Breaks Left Arm For Second Time Eight year old Charles Chase broke ' his left arm above the wrist late Thursday afternoon, in a fall from his bicycle, the second time he has broken the same arm. Two years ago he broke it in a fall against a piece of furniture. The fracture of both bones was re- duced by Dr. H. G. Gallagher after X-rays were taken at Mercy Hos- pital. Charles, in a cast, will enter third grade at Gate of Heaven parochial school Septem- ber 6. “I might go and live in’ Switzer- land permanently.
