Polio: Third Round

polio shots will have been given
to all elementary school children
whose parents have signed consent
cards for them. The only excep-
tions at this time are those whose
most recent inoculations, the Sec
ond in most cases, were admins
tered less than six months ago.
These children will receive their
third and final dosages in March
or April.
The administration of this valu-
able preventive serum to so many
youngsters is a task of consider
able proportions. At populous
schools such as Chambers and
Superior. At Superior, for instance,
eighteen mothers will be helping
to roll sleeves, swab arms, and
keep everybody happy. Three of
the mothers are Registered Nurses.
The schools regular medical staff
is grateful to all volunteers for
the tremendous amount of as
sistance they are giving.
Four hundred and nineteen chill
dren were inoculated, for one of
their three dosages, at Chambers
on Monday, and 35 more will re-
ceive their third shots in March.
Superior's incubation day was
yesterday, February Goth; and
other schools follow shortly.
Mayfair
Boys. now and then, like TO have
a job Of their own to do, with no
girls around "helping." At least.
this seems to be so in grade school.
Mayfair's fifth and sixth grade
boys in Mrs. Joyce Townsend's
room are no exception to this rule.
They had seen some of the girls
art projects that turned out pretty
well, so they decided to embark
on one of their own. For their
working material they chose that
most manly of construction ma
terials, concrete.
The result is a series Of shallow
pans. of all shapes and sizes. hold
ing scenes of forts and battles. ex-
ploring parties and work gangs,
in which the ground or floor is
cement into which foliage and
buildings have been stuck. Colors
were painted on afterwards. and
the scenes are peopled with toy
soldiers. Indians. and other he
men Of the wide-open spaces.
Bombs explode into puffs of cot
ton, firmly embedded in the
ground; reeds grow from concrete
swamps; everything, in feet, is
very substontial and reliastic.
Quite an accomplishment for
"unartistic" boys!
Apparently nothing succeeds
like success. either. For the next
morning after these pan scenes
were placed on diSnIay in the lower
hall at Mayfair. in came little
first or" der with scene that he
himself had constructed. 1t seems
th"t he wanted to get in on the
act, too.

Animal shows come and 90 in
the grade school circuit. Several
lecturers year bring their
their menageries to the elemen-
tary school auditoriums, put their
tanned charges through their PAGES,
and display the wilder ones in d
safe manner. all to the accompani-
ment of much amazement and
amusement on the part of the
youthful audiences. "SiX Skies" is
unable TO report on all of these
shows, but Rozelle's recent Ami
nal Assembly was so we'll received
by the children that it is worthy
of mention here.
Perhaps the strangeness of some
of the animals was partly respon-
sible. 1t isn't every day that a
person sees an anteater, or a green /
monkey, or wild rooster with /
long red feathers on its head; and
such an experience remains a topic
Of conversation for some time to
come.
It strikes US that for some
reason. second graders are at the .
test age for reacting to shows
such as these. Mrs. Helen SCOTS /
seven-year-olds were most vocal .
and enthusiastic in describing what
the animals in the show looked
like and dill, and they drew colored
pictures of the birds and beasts
thcy had seen, to train their
hands and their memories.
Caledonia
With all these activities of
grade children being reported in
Six Skies, do parents sometimes
ask, What about the three RS?
Are they still being taught to our
The answer is a great
big yes!
For example, the third graders
in. Mrs. Mary Ellen Thomas class
at Caledonia School had an eight
minute drill in addition and sub
traction, consisting of a hundred
