a) In order to make the first day of school a happy experience for students rather than a confusing one, Principal Walter A. Prokopchak enlisted the help of mothers and sub- stitute teachers to work on a volunteer basis. The volunteers worked as runners, taking students from buses to their assigned classrooms, where they were greeted by their new teachers. Prokopchak has used a similiar plan in past years, and said he finds it ex- tremely successful in eliminating some of the apprehension children have about the first day of school. As he states, plan your work, and work your own plan. Comments from parents seemed to verify this fact, since it was stated many times that the Westmoreland School is cooperation at its best. Volunteers were directed by specialists Mrs. Cleda Shelby, Mrs. Nancy Campbell, Mrs. Karen Bray, and aide Mrs. Dolores Ostrum. Volun- teer mothers were: Mrs. Diane Carlson, Mrs. Joanne Parrish, Mrs. Operation Iden- tification, a proven protective measure against burglaries, is being introduced in the ‘area by the Back Mountain Jaycees in cooperation with local police. The program is designed to discourage -burglars homes and businesses by providing positive iden- tification of valuable property .such as radios, TV sets, cameras, tape recorders, typewriters, firearms jewelrv. musical instruments and small appliances. ihe 1dea was originated in Monterey Park, Calif. in 1963. Chief Everett Holladay of the Monterey urged homeowners to engrave their drivers license number on valuable possessions, making it harder for a burglar to sell stolen property and providing a returning stolen goods. Results showed that only five burglaries were in the 5,000 households participating in the program, while more than 1,800 burglaries were committed in the non- participating households during the same period. Electric engraving pens and other materials are available at the offices of the Kingston Township, Dallas Township and Dallas Borough Police as well as the Back Mountain Memorial Library. The engraving tools are easy to use and will in- scribe clearly on metal, glass, wood and plastic. After returning the engraving tool, each person will receive window that all items of value on the premises have been marked for ready iden- tification by law en- forcement agencies. The window decals also act as a deterrent factor, said Harold Smith, Jaycee president. Once a burglar knows that the items of value in a home are marked and can be traced easily, he is likely to think twice about breaking in In addition, a fence will not buy such easily identifiable merchandise and the thief will lose his quick turnover market, Smith added. The weekly meeting of the Back Mountain Saturday, Aug. 26 at the Mark II Restaurant, Dallas. President Bob Cartier presided. Guests at the meeting were George McCutcheon, Hillman, Walt Kozemchak and Bob Lawhorn, all of the Dallas Kiwanis Club. A very successful paper drive was held following the regular meeting.
