If you have decid- ed on curtains or draperies, finding the fabric that will do this is equally important. Helen Puskar, Extension home fur- nishings specialist at The Pennsylvania State University, says for the treatment ycu choose, you’ll need a fabric that will serve its purpose, give the length of wear you can reason: ably expect, and retain its amount of care you'll give it. Leisure is a beautiful gar- ment, but it will not do for constant wear. gE A little bit wary of one another, mama bear has backed off some as the door opens and Basil Steele, the owner, stays close to that door. Here he is offering her a sugar cookie, which she enjoys even more than the dinner rolls which Steeles often gave her. She made short work of eating the tossed morsel after this was taken. Photos by Alex Rebar She leaves as the day’s hand-out session ends. Here she is eyeing photographer Alex Rebar, who hopes that the snack has left her not the least bit hungry. Visiting Steeles’ and other area homes over a two-month period, she made a bit of a pest of herself in the end. Neighbors called the Fish and Game Commission for assistance. Here mama bear has returned to her three baby bears. Game Commission representatives safely caged the foursome and removed them from the Mooretown area. Mama and her baby bears are now roaming through a similar setting to the one nearby restaurant where they can stop for free sugar cookies. (continued from PAGE ONE) A basic design criteria was the provision of semi-isolation for the several age groups in- volved, while providing the common necessities that all would require. Thus, the four wings that house age groups 5 to 7.8-9, 10 and 11 year old children respectively, who will spend most of the day with their peers, only mingling with older or younger children when they assemble for lunch, library or other common activities. Also, it is felt that while the arrangement of classrooms is basically conventional, there will be a semblance of an open school arrangement by virtue of the classrooms of children of the same age group facing the same corridor and adjoining same age group classrooms with flexible operating par- titions. Greater open school usage could easily be accomplished in the future by removing some of the partitions between class- room and corridor, which is structurally feasible. In line with the age group thinking, toilets are placed so that they generally will be used by the same age group, and a provide separate entrances at first grade use, where they could go from their bus under building virtually by their own private entrance. In a similar way, the spaces between the wings are useful as play areas to keep small children away from the ac- tivities of older children. The district administration from the activity of the school inasmuch as it is not parti- cularly related to the project as an elementary school. In designing the building, economy was a substantial factor, so an effort was made to keep the common area com- pact, and to keep the internal circulation to a minimum while creating a building that had good esthetic qualities. While the site is in no way restrictive, itis felt that this design fits well on the site without taking away from the utilization of the site for parking, bus circulation and play areas; and at the same time, does not create an inter- ference with the senior high school which occupies another part of the same site. Materially, the building has been designed to provide for a minimum of maintenance and a maximum of durability. The predominant surface ‘material will match in color the existing adjacent high school building so as lo aid in establishing a common visual relationship. Individual building identity will be achieved by the use of bronze tone glazing and store- 2 4 £3 front construction as opposed to the natural aluminum color of the window-walls of the high school. Further, visual identity is lo be provided by the use of “hip roofs’ with their accom- panying cover of white marble chips. Most, if not all, of the usual roof top mechanical appurtenances will be con- cealed behind a parapet which is an extension of the center core perimeter walls. Place House Plants Outdoors in June-House plants, both the foliage and flowering kinds can be placed outside in a sheltered area, say Extension ornamental horticulturists at The Pennsyl- vania State University. But remember foliage plants such as snake plant or philodendron are best put in a lightly shaded area. Most flowering plants such as geraniums do best in full sunlight. To prevent the soil from drying out too rapidly, to their rims. Do not let plants dry out during a drought.

True liberty consists only in the power of doing what we ought to will, and in not being constrained todo what we ought not to will. After two months of dining out ati Steeles’ Restaurant in Mipretown, mama bear and her three cubs were rounded up by game commission officials and set free in another place away from ‘a residential area. The bears had been drawing such attention and families in the area were concerned that curious children might be harmed if'\the bruins continued to come and go around the res- taurant.

Police Lack (continued from PAGE ONE) “Being a’ police officer is a hazardous job,” one patrolman said, ‘‘but when you don’t know from hour to hour what will happen. and then you realize that your wife and family will have nothing, it makes things even worse." Officer Miers told the board that the men like their jobs, and get along with the township of- ~ nof afford to risk their lives their families. settled for many months, even end has tried through corres- pondence and telephone calls to Jel some word from Harrisburg as to how the police stand, and wvhat benefits they can obtain. solicitor Townend said that it akes months to get an answer ‘rom Harrisburg, and even then here is no definite “0.K.” Supervisor Fred Lamoreaux suggested that Chief Lange con- tact Rep. Frank O’Connell and set up a meeting between him, the solicitor and the policemen to see where they can go and what they can do for some defi- nite action. Chief Lange is due to retire in September. The police content- ion is that while they face danger every day, government bureaucracy and delay add to the tension of an already tense occupation. Donations (continued from PAGE ONE) Eddy’s kidneys and spleen. Re- cognizing Eddy’s mother as a Misericordia alumna, Sister Miriam Teresa asked if the Alumnae Office couldn’t con- duct at least an on-campus campaign to help defray some of Eddy’s medical expenses, the largest being perhaps the three times per week treatment on a kidney dialysis machine. The ‘Alumnae Office conduct- ed a campus campaign, and, with the aid of the college’s pub- lic relations office, developed a radio drive with WBAX in King- ston. For six hours on a Sunday afternoon, announcers Scotty Young and Ken Gordon of WBAX pleaded with their lis- teners to call in pledges or stop by the studio to contribute cash. Donations ranged from 10 cents to $100, with callers keeping two Misericordia students, Colleen Kelly and Ruth Walsh, busy the enlire six hours. With nine minutes remaining in the cam- paign. the pledge total was two dollars short of the $1100 mark. A last plea by Scotty Young re- sulted in an additional $130 within those last nine minutes. The Misericordia Alumnae Office will continue to accept money for the campaign as long as people are willing to donate.
