SANDRA STRAzZDUS Editorially Speaking For Those Over Sixty Questionnaire for those over sixty: How long has it been since you bought a loaf of bread for five cents, a dozen eggs for a dime, bananas for ten cents a dozen, and pork chops for twenty-five cents a pound? How long since you bought flowered percale for ten cents a yard? Did you have a family car when you were a child? Were you educated in a one-room school-house? Was there electricity in that small building? Plumbing? How far did you walk to school? Did you carry a dinner-pail” Did you do your arithmetic on a slate with a squeaky slate pencil? How much do you pay for coal nowadays, compared with ‘what you used to pay? A good suit? A piece of farm machinery? An extension ladder? You would agree, then, that the price of everything has gone up? Right? Everything has gone up. Including the cost of education, the cost of erecting new buildings, the cost of fuel and maintenance. In 1900, a teacher earned $30 a month. In 1935, teachers earned less than $1,000 a year, principals a little more. This was in the depth of the Depression. : But, because living expenses were less, and you could get more for your dollar, people managed. Your teachers are paid more realistically these days. They are still not paid enough. Each year we lose to other states new teachers who would much prefer to take posi- tions nearer home. Some of our teachers make a real sacrifice in order to remain with a school system which enlists their loyalty, turning down lucrative offers. A school system is big business, and it requires an ad- ministrator who can operate it. This area is steadily changing its complexion. It used to be largely rural, settled by the pioneers back in 1775. Times changed, electricity made its appearance, houses installed plumbing, people bought cars. And they complained then, as now, about the cost of education. . What was good enough for Pa was good enough for their grandchildren. Education does cost money. It will continue to cost money. It will cost more money as mandated standards rise. Face it. Reassessments of property, with increased taxation, will work hardship on people with fixed incomes, especially those who are retired, who find themselves now financing education for youngsters belonging to their neighbors. The “frill” of one generation becomes the necessity of another. ] What about that TV you just bought? No candidate for office can possibly promise his con- stituents that the clock can be set back. Do you really WANT it to be? Not A Simple Disease Measles is not a simple disease. It can lead to un- fortunate complications. Annually, many children die of measles, far more than die of Polio. Vaccines are now available. Advice to parents is not to accept as a matter-of- course the belief that all children get measles. Children can be safe-guarded.

They hit but were not seen. Top photo shows Clarence Laidler and James Davies inspecting the damage at Mr. Laidler’s flower beds, corner of Overbrook and Pioneer Avenues.

SUPERVISOR RACE ‘While there is no school director race in the Lake-Lzhman district, the reshuffling of the 25-man join- ture into a 9-man merger, with the nine men apparently blessed by the administrative powers that be, has precipitated one, Filliam Naugle, into the election for road super- visor. The Lake-Lehman administration is said to be interested in finding another position © for Mr. Naugle, who has been highly respected as a director, and favors him against the incumbent, William Samuel. At the same time, Samuel | has good billing from his fellow workers, by virtue of his engineer- ing degree and political savoir faire.

There is no indi- cation of unrealistc estmating of thing I'm concerned about is that, for an operation of this size, the cash balance is very small.”!! As for the increase in the budget | the in-| crease in the pupil population of | the school system - from 2400 to | 3200 - and the mandated teacher salary increases are sufficient to this in themselves.

FOR DALLAS BOROUGH COUNCIL WILBUR DAVIS | DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA From— Pillar To Post... By Hix ; When Merrill Faegenburg started talking about some wonder- ful woman or other at the Auction Kick-Off dinner last Wednesday night, it sounded good, but it made no lasting impression on Hix, ; who was allowing her mind to wander, hoping for another cup of coffee, and estimating the probable number of people present. Good time, she reflected, for circulating on tiptoe and gather- ing up the yellow Dallas Post slips from the ends of the tables. Then Mildred Smith hissed, “Stand up, you nitwit.” “What for?” was the obvious retort. Then came the light. So THAT was what Merrill Faegenburg was up to a little earlier in the afternoon, and the Antique Commit- tee had come and sat in the lap of the only genuine Antique in the business. That person was Hix, wearing her laurels like a lopsided halo, and entirely speechless. A sucker to end suckers. The committee on Antiques for “We'll HELP YOU,” they chorused, can sit arcund with your feet up.” the Auction gathered round. “we'll do all the work, and you This sounded fine, just what Hix has always wanted, a chance to sit around with her feet up, gathering the credit, while others scurried about, and produced the goods. When the Auction Committee scrapes the bottom of the barrel: to find a chairman it deserves exactly what it has paid for: precisely nuttin. But on general principles, Hix will come across with that fish- When she saw.’ -it on the auction block, she couldn’t bear it, and started feverishly platter, the one she contributed about ten years ago. bidding it in again. Competitive bidding from the onlookers tapered off, but one’ dogged voice from behind the block kept raising the ante to an im- possible level. ¢ Finally, Hix threw in the sponge. If the bidder wanted that yard-" he could have it. Bob Bachman: long fish platter ‘that earnestly, knocked it down. Hix sat back sorrowfully and watched it vanish into thin Nr Howard stepped out from behind the block. “Thought I could bid you up,” he grinned, “and now yow can take your such-and- such and so-and-so fish-platter home with you. Be my guest.” The fish platter, indecipherable monogram, would hold a whale. Nobody since the first World War has bought a whale, even in steak form, so it is com- pletely useless. But there is no doubt about it. It is a genuine antique. Along with Hix. And the committee on antiques doesn’t know what it is up against. : On account of they ARE going to do all the work. And let that be a lesson to all future auction chairmen. * WH * * For a short person to attempt to walk as a giant, _ results only i in a strut which is ludicrous to behold.
