EB Re apt £ dt Ses SAE Tu By R.A.R. Here’s a warning which might be important to you. It grows out of an experience the Florin Fire compony had a few days ago. The company was called to a Church street home, where smoke was discovered, Fire- men looked in vain for any flame. There was no heat in the house, no fuses were burned and only a hint of smoke seemed to be trickling through the attic. Finally, Chief John Lutz later recalled, a box of cloth- found on the attic ing was steps. There, the step was be- ginning to char and send forth the smoke. ee © eo Inside the box were any numbar of items, including a pair of nylon stockings. With the clothing were moth balls —just ordinary, common {ypg moth balls. ® © @ It develops that when moth balls crystals come in contact with some synthetic (plastic, nylon, etc. there is danger of chemically origin- ating combustion. ® ©& © In fact, we are told, a war- ning is printed on some moth control products against using them where they come in contact with plastic. ®e © © Chief Lutz wonders out loud, “Is it possible that some wardrobe fires he had blamed on electrical wiring may have started from moth balls and plastic storage bags.” .® ©o eo Recently we raised the question which we had heard asked, “Do substitute teach- ers really do a job or should a less expensive way of class coverage be devised.” oe © o A veteran substitute teach- er made a point of talking to us about the situation and made a couple of cogent points. * ® © oo 1. Substitute teachers can do a good job in a class room where the regular teacher al- ready is doing a good job. But, where a poor regular teacher is in charge, the sub- stitute will do a poor job. 2. If the regular teacher has discipline problems, the substitute teacher will have discipline problems. But, if the regular teacher keeps or- der, the substitute teacher can keep order. 3. The good teachers have available for the subsittute such things as roll records, seating charts and up-to-the minute lesson plans. (That’s one reason they are good teachers—they are on top of their job). Poor teachers are lax about such matters. So, their substitutes do a poor job. ee © o The circus — Circus Kirk has made a name for itself in Mount Joy in more ways than one. ® ©° @ For instance, a trip to the Beahm school grounds the next morning after the two shows on June 17 revealed that had you not known that the big top was spread there the day before you could not have guessed the fact. © ® ® @o The grounds were cleaned up, picked up and as neat and clean as they were the day before the circus—maybe cleaner. ® © o And—in this day of “stash the trash” emphasis, such a - cleanup record by any group deserves a pat on the back.

Coach Keener Resigns Donegal high school is with- out a basketball coach! Official announcement that Kenneth K. Keener, who has directed the Indians for the past four years, would leave Donegal was made on Thursday night, June 17, when he submitted his resig- nation to the Board of Educa- tion, He has accepted the basket- ball coaching position at War- wick high school in his home district. A resident of Lititz and a former basketball star him- self, Keener reached a high peak in high school basket- ball in the spring of 1969 when he took the Tribe all the way to a District Class B championship. In his letter of resignation Keener made it crystal clear that - he is leaving Donegal with an excellent feeling and that there are no problems or difficulties from which he is fleeing. His four years at Donegal added up to 38 wins against 43 defeats. At Warkick, Keener will be involved in the special ed- ucation program. At Donegal he taught industrial arts. To keep up with the pres- ent food consumption rates farmers must raise 25 400 ad- ditional head of dairy cattle for each one million persons added to our population. ‘Of This and That’ The night was cool and pleasant. The stars were bright. The smells of a deep woods filled the air. Fireflies twinkled among the branches of the trees. Night birds could be heard occasionally. A jet airplanre flew over now and then, its lights blinking.. Some twelve hundred peo- ple sat quietly and reverent- ly for two hours in a large natural amphitheatre at the Hopewell United Methodist church near Downingtown last Saturday evening. They were watching a performance of “The Passion Play,” which has been given by the church for two week ends each year for the past nine years. The Play was beautifully and lovingly done. The char- acters were convincing, the costumes true to the period, the lighting and staging mag- nificent and impressive. It told the story of Christ's life from the raising of Lazarus to the Ascension, including the Triumphal Entry into Je- rusalem, the Last Supper, the vigil in the Garden of Geth- semane, Judas’ betrayal Jes- us’ trial before the Sanhedrin and before Pilafe, Peter’s by the editor's wife three denials of Christ, the Crucifixion and the Resurrec- tion, There were two main stag- es and four auxiliary stages scattered along the edge of the wood, giving great effect- iveness to the various scenes of the Play. The Rev. Donald Bower, pastor of the church, portrayed the Christ with a skillful blending of with vigor 6K campassion, warmth and pathos.
