SHOCKED AT RosELAND
Fathers Scramble From Lake With
 Tingling Arms

Fathers who were sporting in the waters of Roseland Lake last Tuesday evening got q shock. Not from the appearance of the latest creations in one-pieee bathing suits, but due to a bolt of lightning striking the water or somewhere nearby.
 The bathers stayed in the water during the thunder shower, or during the first part of it. for. after there was a sharp flash of lightning and heavy peal of thunder, there was a scramb- ling of the bathers to the platform and a scurrying to the bathing house piazza.
 There it was learned that each of those in the water had felt a similar shock, their arms tingling, and not caring to await further freaks of the lightning, all had the same thought and all scrambled from the lake.
 While the shower lasted a couple of local McCormacks accompanied them selves on the ukelele, and when the thunder was pealing leudest, the songs and voices were at their best.

 The vote of the town assures a fine new bridge and a suitable memorial for the young men of Putnam who took nart in the war. Last week the opin- on of the highway commissioner was stated 10 be that the bridge would be completed in time to dedicate it on Ar mistiee Day. Since that time other matters have come up that makes this impossible. but the bridge will prob ablv be completed within a year at the longest. The plans as drawn by the states engineers and draughtsmen have to be sent to Washington for ap- proval by the federal government, as he bridge is erected partly at the ex- pense of the federal government, being g federal aid bridge.

THE TEACHER
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

TOR half century, and more,
- The feet of boys forever wore
A pathway to the teachers door.
Yet, fifty years he took his stand.
A Latin grammar in bis hand,
And taught the children of the land.
A general, a great divine,
Yea, men whose names with luster
shine,
Learned Latin at that simple shrine.
For often here the great began
TO dream. to wish, to hope, to plan:
Today is born tOmorrow's man
And SO the teacher grew to gray;
Yea, fifty years have passed away
When someone happens on q day
To pause before the teachers door,
The threshold that the children wore
A half century or more,
And asks. as that good man appears !:
Are YOU not weary, tired to tears,
OF teaching Latin all the yearsf"
A simple answer he employs
To tell teachers holy joys:
II don't teach Latin--I teach boys"
God bless the teacher who can look
Above, beyond, the open book.
The one who teaching undertook.
Not merely for the Latins sake
But for { holy chance to make
Tomorrow's man, soul to wake;
Whom nothing wearies. naught an
noys,
But gladly all his life employs,
Not teaching Latin-teachirg boys.
