Smyrna times., 1959-01-01

Before the spotlight of atten-
ton slips completely away from
Christmas and settles itself on
the coming New Year celebra-
tions, it is fitting for us to look
over the many and varied ways
that children in the Smyrna
Schools observed the feast of
Christmas. Both the John Bas-
sett Moore High School and the
Smyrna Elementary School pre-
pared special events to bring
both sides of Christmas, the re-
ligious and secular, to the child
rem. The students and teachers
in both schools worked together
to make this Christmas a men,
orable one.
Aid Less Fortunate
Actually the approaching of
Christmas was noted far in ad-
vance of the big day, with child
rem being requested to bring toys
to help the less fortunate through
the wonderful work that the Cit
izens' Hose Company carries on
every year. A clothing drive for
needy children in rural areas
where the need is great also
helped them realize that it is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive. AS the glorious season
drew nearer many other things
began to happen within the
schools, all centered b o u t
Christmas. In the top left pic
ture, we see some of the children
in Miss Helen Scouts class who
are studying Spanish under Mrs.
Elizabeth Getty. They are shown
in Spanish garb looking at a crib.
The children, working with oral
Spanish, heard Christmas stories
in the language and talked about
the ways the boys and girls OF
Spanish-speaking countries cele-
brate the feast. To enhance the
discussion, a film on the subject
was shown.
In the center left picture, we
see members of the elementary
student body, under the direction
of Mrs. Doris Fearon, in their
Christmas assembly of song and
story. Mrs. Fearon also prepared
a program for the high school
assembly and presented it fol-
lowing the Drama Club presenta-
ton directed by Miss Patricia A.
Killalea. The latter concerned
Herod's murder of the innocents.
The high school chorus, also un-
der Mrs. Fearon's direction, re-
corded two Christmas radio pro-
grams which were presented ov-
er VIXEN and WIDOW.

joyed full-length feature movie,
followed by refreshments, dane

The Smyrna Special Schools
believe it is their duty to give
each child everything it possibly
can to enhance his present and
future life. Such things as these
are definite assets to the citizens
of tomorrow.

Square Dance
Time

Square dancing fun for everyone
and square dancers in and around
the Milford area vouch for that.
During the past two weeks dane
ers on the east coast have had the
opportunity to swing and whirl to
nationally known caller, Ben
Baldwin, Jr., of Champagne, Ill.
Ben, veteran of about ten years
in the business is familiar with the
eastern seaboard having attended
the Atlantic Coast Square Dance
Convention each year since it's be-
ginning in Boston five years ago.
Calling on tour is only a small
part of his activities in the square
dance world since he is club caller
for six S. D. Clubs in central Illi-
nois and Indiana, part owner of a
mail order S. d. clothing business,
the Marex-Benz Company and re-
cords on the Benz label
A help to his rise in national
recognition was the record release
of Lucky Me-"
This year Ben has made the home
of Ed and Thelma Burlingame his
headquarters between calling dates.
After arriving from Toronto.
Canada, he called for the Sash
Shagers in Falls Church, Va, the
Diamond State Twirlers of Milford
and was guest of the X-Bar-B
Jamboree, in Springfield, Pa.
His tour took him to Maine for
few days and upon his return
this past week he was dinner guest
of the William Thompsons with a
workshop of new figures with
group of eager beavers in Milford;
was guest caller for the Chester
Y-Knotts at their Harvest Hoe
down. Also attending the Y-Knott
dance were Mr.. and Mrs. William
Thompson, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Weller and Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar
Burlingame.
On Saturday evening Ben again
called for the Milford group at the
Milford Bowling Lanes with twelve
couples attending from the Chester
area along with their club callers,
Bill Damn and Frank Ritter. Also
couples from Dover and Whining
ton joined with the group.
His smooth and rhythmic style of
calling had feet tapping and hands
clapping long after the dance end
ed. Then to add to wonderful eve
ming of dancing the William Thomp-
sons, James Wellers and Ed Bur-
lingames were host to the group
with sandwiches and coffee.

New Note Hits
Plane Attack
By ths Associated Press

~ 4eA~o AeeosAaeGu EEcoo
The United States protested
to Red China and North Ko-
rea again last night against
the June Is attack on a United
States Navy patrol plane.
It said the Communist coun-
tries showed utter indifference
to an earlier United States
protest. instead Of acting to
prevent such incidents in the
future.
Gen. Carter B. Magruder,
United States Army comman-
der Of the United Nations COM
mand in Korea. was instructed
TO deliver this second protest at
q special meeting Of the mill
tary armistice commission at
Panmunjom. Korea.
The State Departments July
"a protest had accused the
Communists of ATTEMPTED
murder over the high seas"
The new note declared that
the top Red Chinese-North
Korean representative on the
armistice commission had ''in
effect ignored the protest" de-
livered last month. The United
States note continued:
Proper action under the
circumstances would have in
cluded giving assurance that
the matter would be investi-
gated, that immediate and
positive steps would be taken
to prevent repetition of such
unwarranted acts, and that
persons responsible for the
barbarous attack would be
adequately punished"
