NIX ON MERGER - Pennington
School District 80 opposed consoli-
da.1on with the Greenwood District
in referendum last Saturday.
The vote in Pennington was 153
votes against consolidation and 23
votes in favor of it.
A referendum in the Greenwood
District simultaneously resulted in
70 votes in favor of consolidating

of pupils from Pennington, and yet
Pennington pays no school taxes

ST. Johns Plans
Booth At Fair

For the first time this year an
information booth will. be conduct
ed at the Kent-Sussex County Fair
in Harrington next week under the
joint sponsorship of st. Berna-
dette's parish in Harrington and
st. Johns parish in Milford Each
afternoon and evening the booth
will be stated by parishioners
from the two parishes and semin-
arians from the Diocese of Will
mington. Having the booth at the
Fair will afford the public an easy
opportunity of learning something
about the Catholic Church. Besides
answering questions that people
have on their minds there will also
be available pamphlets and leaflets
that can be taken home and read
at ones leisure. A wide selection
of magazines will be on hand so
that the public can have a better
idea of what the Catholic press is
really like.
The theme" of the booth will be
the appearances the Blessed Mo-
ther made to little Bernadette Sou
birous just one century ago. On
one of her visits to the cave at
Massabielle Bernadette heard Our
Lady identify Herself as "The I'm
maculate Conception"-an express
sion that meant little to the peasant
girl of Lourdes. World wide atten-
ton is now centered on Lourdes
Where thousands of people have
gone during the past hundred years
Many OF these individuals have re-
turned from the Grotto at .ourdes
Iar better off either spiritually or
physically. Gods power is still very
much in evidence today as it was
when Bernadette first visited the
cave.
The public is cordially invited
to visit the booth during the after
noon or the evening hours of the
Fair.
