Ask those you see how they made out and most of them come up with the same answer; “I’m expecting the worse, then Ican be pleasantly surprised if I come up with a good mark and I won't be disappointed if I fall down.” Most of them we feel will come through with flying colors - they usually do.

Publication TRE professional teachers’ Few residents of our town of Dallas and its surrounding villages have probably ever realized or thought much about the ways they could be of ser- vice or encouragement to the large penal institution in our midst. Recently members of the Back Mountain Library Book Club met with Mr. Figmik, De- puty Superintendent of Treat- ment Services, and ‘‘Mike,” a resident of the State Correction- al Institution at Chase. ‘Mike,’ who as a prisoner is taking the responsibility for managing the Taxpayers’ Ass'n, Schedules Meeting The Kingston Township Taxpayers’ Association will hold its regular monthly meeting Dec. 8 at 8 p.m. in the Kingston Township Municipal Building. The meeting will be held earlier in the month due to the holidays. The election of officers for 1973 will be on the agenda. President David Phillips will preside.

Institution library, told the Book Club members how grate- ful the residents were to the Back Mountain Library for lending books to them on a re- gular basis. The Institution library, which operates on the small yearly sum of $600, contains 3,000 volumes—many of which are outdated. Because the Institu- tion now houses over 700 re- sidents of all backgrounds and education rather than only de- fective delinquents as it did pre- viously, there is great need for textbooks on religion, phil- osophy, and poetry as well as current: fiction, science fiction and westerns. Some of the residents are taking courses in English, religion and philosophy taught at the Institu- tion by local clergy and college professors. As the men work to- ward the time when they will be released to live in their homes and communities, the need for tools to prepare them for this eventuality becomes apparent. Some of these could come from our community. The Book Club members citizens, could help by collec- ting books and current maga- zines for the Institution library and by informing their friends and neighbors of the special services being provided for the residents.

KEEPING ON THE ROAD— know how slick the surface really is. Away from traffic, try your brakes gently or make a quick, sudden power ap- plication to find out how slick the pavement really is. Good drivers’ do this regularly about traction. This is known as “getting the feel of the road.” Plan your maneuvers well in advance to avoid skidding and loss of control. If you should start to skid, ease up on the accelerator and turn your wheels in the direction of the skid. Easy does it.
