Letters to the Editor
Dear MIR. Gore:

AS members of an action
group functioning as The Geau-
ga County Business and Profess
sional Women's Club, your
editorial congratulations Ro-
tary" aroused a lively discussion
at our regular monthly meeting
Thursday Evening. We, as an
action group, would like to
call your attention to the fact
that the Rotary Club is only
carrying forward a program that
was inaugurated by the health
department of Geauga county.
1t was through the unselfish
efforts of the Geauga county
B & PW in the purchasing of
the audiometer for the Health
Department that this program
is possible.
Let's bear in mind the first
step in the right direction was
unfaltcringly made by the
Geauga B & PW. Quietly but
sincerely majority of the
P T A organizations from all
corners of the county stood
behind us with their support
one hundred per cent. Just to
keep the record straight, shall
we say the Rotarians are max
ing the second step in the right
direction, with their first step
firmly founded for their footing.
Yours sincerely,
Pauline Moulton
Mrs. Pauline Moulton, Cor
responding Secretary, Geauga

first day of teaching in an ele-
mentary school like standing up
Il in front of Is or 80 little mon
sters and getting a terrific case
of stage fright.
But to Sonia Gersdorff. 20-year-
old Radcliffe College graduate, it
was simple. She loves children
and minored in dramatics, which
takes care of the stage fright.
Sonia. who was born and raised
in Mclean. Va. never thought of
teaching until last year. She felt
she wanted to be an actress or a
journalist. Then last summer she
went to camp as a counselor for
young children and that did 1t.
