Look .
BY MARY ANN CISAR

l wonder how many of us ever
stop and think about some of our
good Noble county citizens who
volunteer so many hours of
their busy days to help out the
kids. We have talked about some
OF our local registered nurses
and other interested persons who
have been giving the health
examinations, but Monday, Mike
Brienza reminded me of the men
who manage the Midget League
baseball teams in the county.
James Watson of Cumberland
street, has been president of the
county midget league for three
years now and I'm sure it would
be most difficult to figure out
the time and money jim has Civ
en- to provide a good time for
the boys. He's not only the boss"
Of the county teams but he is
their friend The managers are
Dick Davis in Caldwell, Gerald
Hill and Bernard Moore at
Seneca Lake, Bill Sabo at Dexter
City, and Bill Warner and Del
bert Shackles at Summerfield.
All of these men work every
day, just as you and /, however,
at least two nights a week, a
midgt game is played before
dark. Then, the team gathers for
practice practically every night,
too. You know how often you'd
feel like ball-game, following
your evening meal. The county
league has been playing since
the first part of May and con
tlnues through the Summer.
Mrs. Helen Bober and Mrs.
CerVilla Anderson of Florence
have been doing a swell job with
the little Brownies under their
charge, The troop of II girls was
organized this Spring and they
certainly haven't let any grass
grow under their feet. They now
have their new uniforms and
look very sharp in them. Pro-
Jects are worked on at every
weekly meeting and it's cute to
watch their business meeting
because the minimum age limit
is seven years.
Last Thursday night, Is
Brownies, Leaders Bober and
Anderson and Girl Scouts Bon
ME Stasko and Anna Mae Lich-
warscik enjoyed an all-night
camping trip. They hiked to the
Brownie hideout," carrying all
their gear. Everybody had
cookies and hot chocolate before
they went to sleep. Friday, the
group awakened in time to see
the sun rise over Noble county
and they had hot cakes and
chocolate before they began
their trudge home at Z a. m. Now.
they are planning on all-day out
ing at Seneca Lake, in the near
future.
How many Of you remember
James Steil, formerly the phar-
macist at Gillespie's, who left
for service with the air force?
His home is in GAINESVILLE. After
serving in New York, Alabama
and California, 1t. Steil is now
stationed in Japan. He is serving
as a medical supply officer in
charge of a hospital pharmacy.
Another Gillespie alumnus is Ed
Thorla, serving with the navy
in Hawaii.

There are inadeouacies. he
said. but he pointed out that

The next day DR.. Corning told

equalizing Of pupil-teacher ratios
in the two divisions was tnpos-.
sible. Doing so would cause
serious problems in the white
schools. he said.
On January IA. at q committee
meeting, DR.. Corning opposed
any immediate transfer in the
Woodbridge neighborhood. Mrs.
Butcher accused him of a
"brush-on." She also repri-
manded Associate Supt. John M.
Riecks for telling a newspaper
reporter Mckinley couldn't be
made ready for Armstrong pu-
pills by February / even II the

also accused q Woodbridge parent.

transfer. of pure racism."
On January 20. DR.. Corning
presented q 10-page answer to
the "equalize or explain" order
voted In December. This brought
matters to q head.
Major Points.
DR.. Corning made these major
points:
Colored pupil-teacher ratios
are not as good as white, but the
reason is q 51.2 per cent Jump in
Negro enrolment since 1945.
White enrolment in those years
has dropped 9.5 per cent. The
school system hasn't been able to
keep up with this rapid change.
The school board has not been
able to get enough money for
needed colored teachers.
Sixty-Six teacher salaries were
to be switched from the white to
the colored schools February /.
