The first and second grades in
the Laksview Avenue School held
their Music Festival on Wednes-
day, April 3, in the High School
Gymnasium. Many of our parents
and friends came and enjoyed
watching us.
Spring is herel We have divided
our room into seven committees
and each committee has decided to
bring in iiower pot, good soil, and
seeds. The committee growing
something first in their little gar
den" will receive prize. We are
all excited about our new project.
We have finished our picture die

true of the desert dwellers.
We have learned that only the
continent of Europe is without a
desert. We formed committees to
search for information en- the des-
erts of the continents of Africa,
Asia, North America, South Ameri-
ca, and Australia. We are still
working on our reports.
In our notebooks we are record
ing factual information about the
way animals are adapted to life on
the desert, the way deserts have
been formed, and what man is do

duce.
Mrs. Bennett has taught US
some Arabian and Egyptian folk
songs, and an ancient Bcdouin mel
ody. We have fun playing these
songs on our flutes, drums, and
Dells. They sound very strange tc
US because the rythmn is different
from our American music.
In Art Mrs. Kunkle has been
helping us tc make desert animals
out of papier mache. This week
they began to look ike animals
and soon they will De ready for

We have no right to laugh at
other peoples clothes, their food,
or theiy houses, because these
things are rot like ours. We have
to learn that other people are just
as guo6 and wise as we are, and
that if their ways seem strange
to US, ,oars seem just as funny
to them.

things. But Esau was not relig-
giously inclined, and, therefore,
diG not care for the birthright.
Jacob, on the other hand, loved
to serve and obey God, and con-
stantly wished that the birthright
somehow would fall to him. But
instead of letting God work
>things out, Jacob thought of ways
ard means of getting the birth
right away from Esau. His op-
portunity came one day when Esau
came home from the chase all
tired out and hungry. He asked
Jacob for dish of lentils that he
was preparing. Here was his
chance, Jacob thought. So he said
to Esau: Sell me this birthright."
Esau felt so faint from hunger
that he imagined he was going to
die, so he answered: "What profit
shall this birthright do to me ?"
And to satisfy his momentary de-
sire for food, Esau agreed to the
deal. The Bible says that he ode
spised his birthright."
Do you know, boys and girls,
that you also have birthright ?
What is your birthright, you ask ?
1t is your share of Gods eternal
riches which Ee is even now pre-
pairing for those who love Him.
Jesus said: "In my Fathers house
are many mansions...I go to pre-
pare a place for you" No artist
can picture that glory land, no
pen can describe the beauties of
that inheritance, for the Bible
tells US: eye hath not seen, nor
ear heard, neither have entered
into the heart of man, the things
which God hath prepared for them
that love Him" Shall we, like
Esau, foolishly sell our glorious
for some forbidden
momentary gain or pleasure?

A GREAT TREASURE SOLD
FOR A FEW LENTILS
(This story is based on Genesis
25)
HELLO BOYS AND GIRLS! Have
you ever seen twins who didn't
look alike? Most twins, as you
know, can hardly be told apart
ever by their parents. In today's
story, however, we will learn about
twin boys, Jacob and Esau, who
We're totally different in looks, in
disposition, in character, as well
as in their outlook on life. EsAu.
the older boy, was sef-willed. He
didn't like to be corrected or re-
strained in any way. Day by day
he developed unlovely traits of
character, for all he thought about
was the present, and how he
could please himself. He gave
little thought to the future. He
chose the life of hunter, for he
liked excitement and the wild
freedom of the chase. He was his
fathers pet, because he (his
father) did eat of his venison
(deer's meat.
Jacob, the younger brother, was
his mothers favorite, because of
his kind, thoughtful helpfulness
around the house. He preferred to
stay at home and help his mother
with her heavy responsibilities.
which was great comfort to her.
His affections were deep and
strong.
Esau being the older, was en-.
titled to the birthright, which in
cluded not only the inheritance of
the fathers wealth, but also the
spiritual leadership of his family:
and from his posterity the Messiah
was to come. However, to obtain
the birthright he had to put God
first in his life and seek to do

There's doubt about it. There good lessons to be
learned from Tuesdays election only for the Republican
party but for the Democratic party for future and past office
holders and for all citizens who interested in good gov
eminent.
It's no secret that there has been pickering among the
Republican office holders the past number of
Whether of the charges justified not the fact
remains that the voters expressed their dspeasure in
uncertain The Democrats, with big push of a
mighty big broom swept five Republicans out of office
breaking precedent that has endured for many years Never
before has elected the House of Delegates
and only occasions has Democrat been elected
the Board of County Commissioners This the Demo-
cratic party elected each to both POSITIONS plus State
Senator.
The election should teach vital lesson to office holders
that they constantly under the watchfu of public
opinion which permits eeway for rash iconsdered ac
the favortism of few, and that their demeanor in
public and private life is carefully watched.
The pursuit of excellence in government the most I'M
porant consideration office holder have with party
obligation secondary and the office holder will be judged
eventually the kind of he is and the kind OF job he
performs.
There is no question that the Republican party has suf
fered serious blow certainly not fatal stronger
party will be built in the county result of it, of that we
can be
We don't take away of the credit of success

the candidates worked in harmony There in addition
that trend change throughout the entire country working
in their favor reached into the ranks of nehbor
ing Republican county and took two House seats and two
County Commissioner seats from the majority party Had
the Republican candidates worked in like unity and harmony
there might been different story in spite OF the trend
The Democratic victors we'll as the Republican win

Two Men Released

Two men who were held for sew
eral days in the county Jail for ques-
tioning in the recent robbery of
stores in Bittinger, we're released
this week, according to Sheriff
James E. FrantZ.
The establishments were Buckets
store and Brenneman's store where
a quantity of clothing, money,
radio and other items we're taken.
Another breaking and entering
occurred last night or early this
morning at the Glotfelty restau-
rant on Second street, Oakland.
Entrance to the store was gained
by going through a wareroom and
cutting hole in a celotex wall. No
money was obtained and owners
were still trying to determine this
morning just what had been taken.
