Protection Ins.
For Children
Adopted By School
Policy Covers Child
Between Home And
School And On School
Premises
Forms have been handed to
the parents of the students of
Marietta School for application
for Special School Child Acci-
dent Insurance. The cost of this
insurance is $1.25 for a 12
month year.
For many years school offi-
cials have been concerned a-
bout the fact that no protection
in the way of insurance is pro-
vided for pupils injured at
school or on the way to or from
school. In spite of intensive ef-
forts on the part of school ad-
ministrators to promote safety,
pupils are sometimes injured at
school, on the playground,
while participating in athletic
contests, or while going to or
coming from school. This often
works a hardship on the parents
who must pay the bills.
After careful study the offi-
cials of the school have given
this plan of insurance their
recommendation.
To obtain this protection the
parent will enclose $1.25 in the
envelope provided and send it
by the child to the homeroom
teacher. The insurance will be-
gin immediately when the pre-
mium is paid. An identification
card will be issued to each child
to show that the child is insur-
ed under the policy.
The policy covers any acci-
dent while enroute between
home and school, while within
a school building or on the
school grounds, while enroute
between school and home,
while on a school sponsored
trip, while on a required field
trip, while engaged in athletic

Dear Remembrance Comm.: ire 0SS or
Thank all of you for the won-

they were just like Strasburg

her, Fatima style.

St. Luke's Church
To Present Colorful
Program
St. Luke's Episcopal Church
will present the Epiphany Feast
of Lights Pageant in the High
School Auditorium, on Sunday
evening, January 11, at 8:00 P.
M. This very colorful and dra-
matic portrayal of the mainfes-
tation of Christ to the world
will be presented by a cast of
thirty-five men of St. Luke's
Church, under the direction of
the Rev. Elmer A. Keiser, Vie-
ar.
Included in the presentation
will be the prophetic accounts
in the Old Testament, dealing
with the coming of the Messiah,
in a Chronoligical account to
the Birth of Christ, and the ev-
entual establishment of His
Church, including the Orders of
the Ministry, and the great mis
sionary movement of the early
Apostles and their successors.
Appropriate costumes and
lighting will enhance the beau-
ty of this protrayal.
The High School Auditorium
is being used this year . for the
pageant, since St. Luke's
Church is not sufficiently large
to accommodate large attend-
ance which is manifested at that
service.
The public is most cordially
invited.
