Being interested in infra-red, was
how John acquired the idea for his
project. He said that it took him
about 100 hours to do the project,
but, he added that he had fun doing
it and that it taught him a few
things that he might not have
learned otherwise.
ALL-STAR GAMES
Excitement was high on the court
of West Side Central Catholic High
School Tuesday « night during the
All-Star Dream Games. Bob Letts
and Tom Gauntlett represented the
Dallas squad. Needless to say, Dal-
las fans were equally proud of ‘the
participation of all team members.
These games seem to eliminate the
rivalry between North League teams
and build a new unity.
Lights glared on the floor of the
gym while enthusiasm mounted in
| the stands. In the first quarter fans
rose to cheer their team, as the score
was very close, but the remaining
quarters proved successful with the
final score being 60-37.

A grist mill was added at Hunts- | in true shadings, colorful floral ar-
ville in 1803 by Fuller and Atherton.
Other mills sprang up in the town-
ship under the direction of George
Ransom, John Lamoreaux, Daniel
Davenport, Henry Cease and Chester
Ransom.
C. C. Curtis was the first town
clerk, chosen in 1846. Mention is
made of J. R. Baldin, Esquire; who
followed later and was acclaimed for
the excellent records he kept. Early
justices were Calvin Cease, Hiram
Drake and Truman Atherton.
M. Brown and J. Murphy were
elected first supervisors in 1845.
Obed Baldwin was chosen in 1846,
Conrad Miller and Truman Atherton
were named in 1847, Miles Hall and
Peter Cease in 1850.
Huntsville Post Office was estab-
lished at Cease’s Mills in 1879, ‘Austin
Gregory being the first postmaster.
First religious teaching was de-
pendent on resident Baptist preac-
hers, Jack Rogers, Griffin Lewis and
one of the Drake's. At the same time
Universalist Ministers, Rev. Mr. Cof-
fin and Rev. Mr. Crocker also came
to preach and had a large following.
The Christian Society sent preac-
hers to Huntsville as early as 1830.
Services were held in the school-
house with Seth Marvin and G. W.
Richmond serving as ministers for
this demonstration.
The Society of Methodists was
formed in 1820. Fifty seven years
later the group built a fine wooden
church building which was dedicated
by Rev. W. H. Olin, D.D., and called
the Van Loon Methodist Church after
James Van Loon, Kingston, who con-
tributed heavily to its support.
A Baptist Church was organized
in 1864 by those who had taken their
letters from Plymouth and Lehman
congregations. George Scofield serv-
ed as pastor for the first year. No
church was ever built and union
services were continued at the school
house.
In 1800, the first school house rose!
in the community. Another followed
in 1827. These were kept up by priv-
ate conscription. Directors were elec-
ted in 1846 at which time a tax was
levied in the amount of $65.00 and
divided among the four schools now
in operation,

attending the Adult Education Class
I dinner Saturday evening at Dallas
| High School. !
Dr. Robert A. Mellman praised
the fine work done by evening stu-
dents and stressed the trend toward
adult education in many European
countries, resulting in better citi-
| zens and better government.
George E. Ralston, Dean of Men
at Wilkes College, guest speaker, de-
clared “Education is the biggest
business in our country and hires
the most employees. By the next
decacde two and a half million ad-
ditional students will enter our col-
leges. Industry has already con-
tributed $155,000,000 to satisfy’s
man’s right to know.
“The nineteenth century was re-
markable for its inventions and its
social changes buth the twentieth
i century will be remembered for its
speed. Energy was recognized in
the fourth century but in a few
years of our era we have released
this energy. It is difficult to be a
pessimist in our day.
“The safety of society is based
on the general diffusion of knowl-
edge. There never sufficient
knowledge to settle conflict. Truth
does not die but lives transformed.
Science feeds on its own decay.
“Ignorance thinks it is knowledge.
We are born to seek the truth, and
seek it we must in the critical race
against Communism which is a re-
ligion, not a party.”
Dean Ralston concluded, “He who
will kindle others must himself glow.
Our destiny is through adult edu-
cation. In the words of the Master,
‘Ye shall seek truth and truth will
I 9
make you free’.
Thomas F. Carr, director of the
extension classes, was ‘toastmaster.
Bert Fennell, humorist, captured the
audience with his dry wit. Invoca-
tion was given by Clayton Klaboe.
Dr. Robert Bodycomb introduced
members of the school board.
