In this manner, announced Super-
visor Clinton Smith, the interested
group will have control of it. He
also asked why the amount agreed
upon as a gesture of good faith
had not been turned over to the
supervisors as promised,
Walter Willoughby, “who repre-
sented ' the association, said some
members were loath to turn over
| funds which have been raised. He
said they felt that a change of
officials might make a difference.
The Board assured him that all
funds for the project would be
placed in a special fund and ear-
marked for this purpose only.
Joseph Paglianite, who was pres-
ent, said this was a most “suitable
arrangement - and: that he would
recommend it to the Sunset. Beach
Association.. Also in agreement
were Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Keller,
who were present at the meeting.
To further assure the group of
its good intent the supervisors said
a certified public accountant will
check all accounts.
Secretary Michael Godek said he
| had received verbal confirmation of
an extension on Project 70: and
expected it in writing soon. He
said appraisals had been completed.

Are your stairways a catch-all?
Are matches and inflammable
| materials out of the reach of chil-
dren?
Are you using proper fuses, or are
you overloading your circuits?
Do you check to see if the last
cigarette is out before you go to
bed ?
Do you ever drop off to sleep with
a cigarette in your hand?
Do you know the phone number
for your fire company ?
Henry, the guardian of the Back

will admit to, adds that the large

he continued. “We are well aware
of being crowded and are moving
as fast as we can. It might be of
interest to know that we have pick-
ed up 900 pupils since 1958 and
our budget has doubled, but we
are aware of it and have been
planning for it.
His remarks followed the receipt
of a letter from Mrs. Eleanor Rodda
to the school board, contents of
which are printed below.
“Thoughts From An Interested
Citizen for the School
Board's Consideration:”
We have known of the growing
need for elementary classrooms
Dr. Mellman has dis-
cussed the need for an elementary
building since then, but we have
gone on using substandard spaces—
making classrooms out of shops,
stages, in the basement—and we
seem to be running out of such
spaces.
I have children in elementary
school—and I am concerned for the
continuation of the quality of their
education. This involves keeping
class sizes at or below present levels
with adequate sanitation and health
safeguards.
May I ask how the Board expects
to handle this problem next year?
What kind of protection is avail-
able for the coming school popula-
tion? Where will the expected in-
crease in elementary population be
housed ? How will the increase be
| handled as it moves up into the
| Secondary schools?
When will the Board begin the
specific building program that has
now been under discussion for con-
siderable time? CE
If the hold-up on construction is
in Harrisburg, what can we do to
try to hasten construction to begin
to take some of the pressure for
space off the system? ]
There is an urgency here for the
children presently in our schools”
and the solution that seemsigreat on
paper for 1969 doesn’t improve th
situation for, the ¢ inch
munity do to help?

Meeting Set
Mr. Richardson reported that the
property committee will meet with
Frank Huttman on Tuesday eve-

must walk down Bunker Hill Road
Mr. Austin

| Emanuel would stop the bus at
Kelly Street and Bunker Hill Road
but Mr. Arnold said this would not
remedy the matter. Mrs. Vernon,
board chairman, said there was no
more the board could do but that
she would discuss the matter with
him following the meeting.
Mr, Fritzges recommended that
a letter of commendation be sent
to John Cathrall and Ronald Rybak
| who have completed work on their
master’s degrees.
Mr. Lefko reported that the
ground has been graded and seeded
on the baseball field. Mr. LaBerge
said there was many rocks present
outside the infield. Milton Evans
commented, that raking it now
would disturb the seeding. Board
agreed to have John Paul main-
tenance supervisor discuss the mat-
ter with the contractor and see if
field could be raked in the spring.
Another Bus
Another school bus was approved
by the board to pick up 66 elemen-
tary pupils and te be driven by Al-
vin Brown. The bus will start at
