AllO l IHduC tIllS ICCOIO. IHoI VI I'LL,
we really never have been sick. Our
mother has taken good care Of us
and never has had to call the doctor
for us for any illness. We haven't
even had the measles and most every
boy or girl has them sooner or later,
usually sooner.
Another thing that helped make
this record is that we get up early
in the morning and have plenty of
time to do our chores, eat break
fast and get to school. We have to
milk the COW and do other things
about the house and the farm.
For our perfect attendance, each
of us receives a certificate every
year. Charles goes to Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School and Tom
my to Leland Junior High. I am
in Kensington Junior High, but all
three of us went to Kensington Ele-
mentary School and to kindergarten
before that.
In elementary school. we used to
get prizes, usually books. for always
being present and on time This
was stopped. however, because many
children who were really sick or felt
bad and should have stayed at home
forced themselves to 60 to school
to win the prizes.
As for me, I like to 60 to school.
I play on the basketball team and
catch on the speed ball team. I
have hobby of cutting out one or
two pictures from The Star every
day and pasting them in scrap
book. I have quite a collection.

Baga Season Closed.

In former years it was possible to
get quite an accurate figure on how
many rutabagas were shipped out of
Askov in season as most of them
went via railroad. Gradually the
conditions have changed so that now
most of them 60 out via truck; how
ever, in spite of the heavy trucking
there were 200 carloads shipped out
during the past winter, most of them
going to southern states.
The season is now practically
closed and will remain so until the
latter part of August when the early
new crop will be starting to roll out.
This year more than so per cent of
the bagas shipped were waxed and
put up in neat cloth bags.

(1) How much is added to COM

Public Library
Will Not Be Moved
This Winter

The Newark Public Library
will be unable to move into their
building on Fifth and Church
streets, when expected, because
the plans and specifications were
not approved by state inspectors.
At a recent meeting of the
board of education the library
was granted an extension on
their lease in the present loca-
tion until August 1941.
1t was learned on good author
ity that the plans were turned
down because of difficulty in
drawing up specifications which
would fireproof the prospective
building which was to have
housed the library with it's 40,-
900 volumes.
Another reason for plans not
being approved is said to be be-

Many indications have been
found that glass blocks were
first manufactured many CEN

as 1000 years. Recently a panel
of glass blocks was found in an

apparently had been put there
by the Romans during their oc-
cupation of that part of Europe.
The block was evidently hand
blown.
