A Transpor- tation Committee meeting was held in advance of the regular monthly - School Board meeting Tuesday night in the Senior High [School library. The problem was already being studies before a number of residents voiced their concern. Leon Emman- uel holder of ‘bus contracts was pre- Wt He and William A. Austin, to- gether with Alton Whittaker, chair- man of transportation committee conferred. Permission for a possible change of routing was voted by the board. Extension of any existing route, or addition of a bus, would be reflected in higher cost to the system, explain- ed Dr. Robert A. Mellman, superin- tendent. Experimentation will be carried "out to see if a reasonable solution can be reached. In reply to a report that students were seen ‘smoking on the buses, Dr. Mellman stated that this is a matter for ‘expulsion, Tt occurs usually on buses that are .overcrowded, where the driver cannot see students at.the back of the bus. Last year, a cigarette butt started a fire. It was brought out by a wisitor that the bus driver has the lives of the children in his hands, and must pay close attention to the road, Hav- ing a teacher ride each bus would be the solution, Dr. Mellman: said, if it were - possible to arrange it. It would be desirable also to hold down the high school students to. smaller loads. Austin said he was all against piting as many high school students ia bus as elementary students, be- cause they take up more room, and crowding leads to undesirable be- havior. ( ! STADIUM TO BE DEDICATED The track, which was to have been id this summer, will not be ready this season, Dallas Township sup- ervisors having found it impossible to assign equipment for the purpose. Football season is a poor time to lay track. It will be constructed in the spring. Mrs. Steinhauer’s suggestion that water be supplied for the Little Lea- gue snack stand, was referred to Building and Grounds. William Wright, chairman of ath- letics, announced plans for dedicat- ion of the new stadium, just. before the football game with Lake-Lehman September 22, the first home game on the new field. y Jack Stanley, Building and Grounds, reported that the danger- ous curve at Westmoreland school was being gentled, with vision and driving conditons much mproved.

Safety Valve (Continued from Page 2 A) THEY WERE GREAT Dear Editor: | May we please add one small bit of praise to our Back Mountain Little League All Star team. Our son has had the privilege of play- ing with the Little League for four years and I must say our whole tamily had a great deal of pleasure following the Back Mountain teams. When you have watched the prac- tice sessions, the minor league teams and. eventually the major teams, you can’t help getting a charge out of watching the little fellows develop into the fine base- ball players which brought us final- ly to an All Star team such as we saw this year. To thank the many men, who spent so much of their time training the boys, is almost unnecessary if you have ever seen the kick they got out of working with them. At any rate, having seen the boys develop during the inter- league games, we followed the All Stars with the greatest enthusiasm, knowing they weren't just pretty darn good baseball. players, who had been beautifully trained, but that they had = something = else very special. It soon became quite apparent as the games progressed that we were just one family in hundreds who ‘| had this same feeling for ‘the Back Mountain team because the Back Mountain turn-out at all games in | For Prompt, Ef ficient, Clean GARBAGE & TRASH REMOVAL Call BERTI OR Lah OR 4-8731 & SON OR 4-8372 # To Pick Up Al Our present building will be RAZED to make way for the NEW HIGHWAY We Will Close OCTOBER 1st.

To try to analyze why these boys lost at Medford, Massachusetts, is really unfair. The fact that the ma- jority of their fans couldnt go all the way to Massachusetts or that the boys were frightened, homesick or that an accident threw them .is unfair to the players themselves. For I'm sure deep down in their hearts they knew that sometime they might lose to a better team. And when they finally did they accepted this as true champions, congratulat- ing the other team even before the Pitman team could quite collect themselves to go to them. This made all of us (glued to WNAK) as proud of them as all of the wins ance . . they had racked up before. As a man very close to them said,” it’s not easy to win gracefully but to lose gracefully is rough but by golly they did.” And after all, isn’t this what Lit- tle League baseball is really all about? To teach youngsters to handle themselves well physically and mentally. To learn.good sports- manship which is sometimes sadly lacking in their elders. ‘Well, these boys, each one, learned their lessons well and dis- played their own innate niceness throughout the. entire ordeal and believe me it must have been just that as the tension increased. No one likes to lose but there can be just one winner and to be one of the top eight teams in the country as well as the Pennsylvania State Champs is a real accomplishment. Congratulation, boys you were “great.” Sincerely, Mrs. Lewis Rogers III and family. Shavertown R. D.
