no events of any significance
occurred. The community went
along in its own way with the
usual business being tranacted.
John H. Folk occupied the Ce-
ment block on the corner of
what Is now state route No. 528
and u S. Route No. 322 and
conducted a general mercan-
tile business. The Critchet bro
theirs ran the store now ocCu-
pied by the Johnson Hardware
as a grocery and general store
and also bought farm produce
from the farmers, such as pO-
tatoes and Bartlett pears ship
ping the same to Youngstown
for distribution.
w. J. Perry ran a similar
store where Mrs. Annla Owens
now Is and at that time was the
oldest in point of service. All
of these merchants were well
known for their honesty and in
tegrity and their interest in
their community and their fel-
low townsmen and patrons.
The blacksmith shop, which
was owned by William Daugher-
ty, was directly across the road
from the Perry store Horses
were Shod, general repair work
for the farmers machinery, and
their buggieS and wagons was
cheerfully done with neatneSS
and dispatch.
Sebastian Webb owned and
operated the same wagon shop
that he operated so years be-
fore. He did all of the wood
work In the repairing and max
ing buggies, wagons and SledS.
He was known far and wide for
his skill.
william O. Clark operated a
tin shop, making tanks etc. for
the syrup makers, general re-
pair work and did a good bus
mess In metal roofing and gut
ter work.
G. w. PeaSe was managing
the cheese factory located on
Rt. 528 where tons of cheese
were made and shipped every
year, and in the spring always
bought maple syrup to can and
ship to his customers of long
years and were scattered to the
four corners of the US,A.
There have been several chan
ges in the ownership of our To-
cal stores in the past fifty
years. Cretchett Brothers sold
their store about 1917 to Walter
Wilmot, he in turn sold to Myr-
tus Thompson he to a Mr.. Jen

son, who now operates it as a
hardware store Will Perry sold
his store to Alex 10th, he in
turn to Mr.. Martin who sold to
the Owens family. The John
Faux store was sold to Andrew
Wing, he to William Wood he in
turn to Laddie Rich and after
the store was vacant or opera

over by Irma Ketcham and her
son-in-laW, ChriSty Miller.

Heuss Greeted
In Philadelphia
AS Tour Sturts

PHILADELPHIA, June 7 up.
West Germany's President
Theodor HeusS came to Phila-
delphia today on the first stage
OF his l6-day tour of the United
States.
The 74-year-old Heuss, who
speaks little English. arrived
at International Airport from
Washington and was welcomed
with a burst Of music played
by a 50-piece band and by a
committee of state and city
dignitaries.
From the airport the entour-
age went to Logan Circle, just
of the Benjamin Franklin
parkway, for a review of a Ma
tional Guard horse troop.
Independence Hall came next.
Mr.. HeusS placed a wreath of
red and yellow carnations at the
base of the George Washington
statue. He moved slowly through
the hall itself. pausing longest
at the Liberty Bell, where he
and the others posed for pic
lures.
In Independence Square
1900 or more persons waited
to hear the distinguished
visitor. Mr.. Heuss dwelt with a
keen sense of history upon
Philadelphias origins, high
place in American annals, its
great leaders of old, its tradi-
tons of tolerance, benevolence
and dignity.

ADMINISTRATION

After a winter in which the
system seemed completely con-
fused over this one, spring
brought a blooming.
The mark was made in the
closing days Of the year. Final
ly, a permanent superintendent
was landed-one who had been
around all the time-and a dep
uty superintendent was select
ed. The administration was
finally firm, but there are
obvious signs the system is top
heavy in some departments.
And there are at least three
important positions yet to be
f1lled-budget officer, chief of
the senior high schools, presi-
dent of the Teachers College.
There is still general apathy
throughout the system to re-
move dead wood" Incompe-
tent teachers remain.
But there was a fat pay scale
proposed-$8 million-and sent
along to higher authorities who
may, in the long run. be re-
sponsible for any mark the
system gets.

THE THREE Rs

Moving along at a brisk pace
in the subject this year the
system decided to:
Teach Russian in high schools
next year-if a teacher can be
found; introduce some form of
educational television in ele-
mentary schools; set up a pro-
gram to spot 500 gifted chill
dren in the junior high schools:
continue the four-track pro-
gram after another year of re-
fining it and smoothing it; in
crease the entrance age for first
grade and kindergarten children
in an effort to conflne the two
grades to those actually mature
enough; introduce some form
of sex education at a few ex-
perimental schools; add one
more week of school.
This school also saw the de-
cision to hold a math work.
shop for Junior high math
teachers and a summer school
program devoted exclusively to
remedial work in reading and
math for tagging students.
And education course require

publics that the Government of
the United States has ascer-
tanned tha at Mr.. Nikolai l.
Kurochkin, third secretary of
the embassy of the Union of

engaged in highly improper
activities incompatible with his
diplomatic status. Mr.. Kuroch-
kin has paid hundreds of dollars
to an American citizen for the
improper procurement of United
States Army manuals and other
materials. Some of the docu-
ments he sought were classified.
"Mr. Kurochkin's continued
presence in the United States is
no longer considered acceptable
and the embassy is required to
arrange for his immediate de-
parture."
About 10 Soviet diplomats and
military attches have been Or
dered expelled from the United
States in the last two years on
grounds Of improper conduct.

Racial tension is present at
some schools, but 1t has not
spilled over in the form of a

Premier Khrushchev focused
attention on this problem by
writing Mr.. Eisenhower last
week that he would like to buy
United State machinery and
consumer goods. He said United
States-Russian trade volume in
a few years could reach sew

shchev asked about United

Britain for several years has
been more interested in Soviet
trade possibilities than has the
United States Government.
Basically such trade is con-
trolled by a Western agreement
to list and embargo goods
which would contribute to Rus
sia's war potential. In past
talks. Mr.. Macmillan's strategy
has been to urge Mr.. Eisen-
hover to agree to shorten the

SPACE

This is not the science course
the system takes to keep up
with the Russians. It's a sub
ject requiring guess work and
home work. 1t involves the
buildings and the grounds Of
public education.
This year, the system gained
43 elementary class rooms and
reduced the class-size ratio In
elementary schools from 1913 to
1871. The ultimate goal is 30
toll. In September, an addi-
ton at Garfield Elementary
School was completed and in
October, Just in time, 81 rooms
opened in the new LaSalle Ele-
mentary School. But there were
still 1853 part-time classes and
crowded classes throughout the
city.
The course is sheer drudgery.
Schools take about five years
to build-if plans sail through
the board, the District building
and Congress. New schools are
planned for areas which are
expected to be bursting with
school kids a few years hence
But the kids are always there
before the school is. And while
new schools are planned, there
are others planning highways
through old ones.
Next year, a new high school
will be under construction;
there will be additions at Ana
costa and Paul Junior High; a
new health school; at least four
new elementary schools and ad-
ditions to six should be ready
before the school year is out.

ACHIEV EkAENT

This is by far the toughest
course the system takes.
Achievement levels Of District
School youngsters are below ma
tional averages and there is no
immediate hope of surprising
or even pulling abreast for a
few more years.
But throughout the system
there is determined effort to
get the achievement level up,
inch by inch. 1t is a terrific
job. The majority of pupils
come from lean surroundings
and backgrounds. What a
teacher might accomplish in
class in one day is often de-
Stroyed at home that night.
Still. slight gains have been
measured at all levels. There is
substantial improvement in
reading.
Testing, an integral part of
the achievement picture, is
closing out its best year. In
the school year 1954-55, rough
ly "a per cent of the systems
population was tested. This
year. the figure was brought up
to SO per cent.
Test results are used to i'm
prove teaching and to organize
classes as homogeneously as
possible. They help spot the
slow learner. the gifted student.
And more children were given
individual" and psychology
cal" tests this year. These are
reflnements Of regular achieve
ment tests and enable a teacher,
counselor, parent, to know a
bit more about a child and his
weaknesses. Over 1000 children
were given such tests this year,
compared to 1000 tested last
year.
And the system is ready to
publicize results of these tests
shortly in an honest attempt to
explain the reason for them and
to prevent misinterpretation of
results. This was never done
before.
