Swimmers Are
Never Too Old
For Shaw Pool.

I'm too old to learn to swim!'
That is the opinion of many
landlubbing adults. Once they Wis.
it the Shaw pool on any Monday
or Wednesday evening they will
see the error of that statement.
This is the fourth year that
Shaw pool has conducted ar
adult learn-to-swim program.
Glasses are held at three diff
ferent times: 6:45, 7;25 and S:05
p. m.
The students may progress
from group one and two in the
beginners class where they start
gaining confidence in the water,
all the way up to the intermediate
group where they will learn the
different forms of swimming.
If you're an adult, interested
in learning to swim - free of
charge - sign up in the Shaw
Pool managers office.

Library Offers Two Reading Clubs

Vacation time is here, and
with it the East Cleveland Lii
brary is offering two summer
reading clubs.
The older boys and girls are
invited to join the NAUTILUS
READING CLUB. Every men,
Der who reads and reports on
two club books will receive a
small submarine with his name
on it. Once started on its way,
the little submarine progresses
from Pearl Harbor to the Polar
Ice Cap, then under the North
Pole, out into the Atlantic
Ocean, on to Greenland and
England, and finally, with the
twelfth book it will reach New
York City.
The younger boys and girls
are invited to join the BOOK
MARK CLUB. In that club
every member receives a bright
colored bookmark, on which are
recorded the names of all the
books reported on during the
summer.
Since the close Of school,
1858 boys and girls have joined
the two clubs. Of these, 511
are members of the Nautilus
Club and 115 have already
earned their little submarines
and started them on their way.
SAP of the younger children
have joined the Bookmark Club,
and there are now 142 book
marks on display.
These clubs are open to any
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1959-06-18
Teacher
Miss
Questions

What kid of a rock is this? ?"
"Why does it rain?"
"Why do they call the first
men who'll go into space astro-
nautS 2"
These are a sample of the
type of questions Mrs. Louise
d. Crawford has become accus-
toned to during hr As years of
teaching school. But next Sep
tember, Mrs. Crawford will not
be bombarded with questions
from sixth graders. She is retir-
ing at the end of this school
term.
Everything seemed just rou-
tine to her at the Mayfair
School. Of course there was the
excitement of the children grad
uating to Kirk Jr. High; and
loads of work to be completed,
such as writing the annual re-
port or mending and counting
text books.
But when September comes
around, she will miss the curios-
ity of the children. She will miss
being called Mrs. Why" And
she will miss the apples and
slices of birthday cakes, and the
flowers-from dandelions to ros-
es-that the children have
brought her in the past.
Mrs. Crawford will remem-
Der with gratitude the many
many parents who were under
standing, cooperative, and most
helpful.
She hopes that the children
will always have curiosity; and
will remember that when they
make mistakes. it is a sign that
they are learning.
Her only indecision is where
to live so that she can do all
the things to which she has
been looking forward. She would
like to find or build a big fire
place with little house around
it. She wants a yard big enough
for a locust tree or two, lilac
bushes and a large patch of lilies
of the valley.
Wherever she lives and what
ever she does, she knows that
she will miss the questions that
the children have been asking
her for is years.

Frankford School News

Albert w. Adams. supervising
principal of the John M. Clayton
School, serving the Frankford-
Dagsboro area, has announced that
the total enrolment at the school
is SCI, the largest in the history OF
the school OF the total, there are
256 Students in Grades to IL and
335 students in Grades 1 to 6.
The schools board of trustees
has announced the appointment of
Joseph Dallabrida in the field of
health and physical education. He
is a graduate of East Stroudsburg
Teachers College and for the past
few years has been an instructor
in drivers education for the Della
ware Safety Council. He was a
drivers education teacher for the
public schools in and around Will
mington.
Mr.. Dallabrida replaces Harlan
Fleetwood who was injured re-
Gently in an automobile accident
and who was unable to resume his
duties at the beginning of the
school year.
Thirty-five boys are daily prac-
ticing for the coming football sea-
son. This years team will play
their opening game against Selby-
vile High School at the George
town field, October at s p. m.
Milford chronicle., 1959-09-18

The football team will probably
not play any games at home this
year, although there is a possibility
that the annual football game
against Millsboro, always played on
the Wednesday night before
Thanksgiving, may be played on
the local field.
The entire 20 acres recently pur-
chased by the board of trustees
plus the old athletic fields, have
been graded and seeded. 1t is not
thought likely that any of the
fields will be available for athletic
use before spring.
The National School Studios will
take the annual pictures of MEM
bers of the student body beginning
Monday Parents wishing to have
pictures taken of pre-school chill
dren may bring them to the school
at 8 p. m. Monday.
Students are being offered
school accident insurance policy at
a total cost of S1.75.. This policy
covers each boy and girl while in
school, on the way to and from
school, or on a school sponsored
trip. Inasmuch as funds are not
available to cover the cost of any
accident to a pupil while in school
or on school sponsored affairs, all
students have been urged to part
icipate in this accident policy.

let alone heating. The passengers
shiver.
Nonetheless Parisians grunted
sadly when they first saw the new
buses. These have three automatic
doors, heating system that works
too we'll, and worst of all, no open
platform. They're bigger, more
modern, safer, but unloved.
This is progress, the authorities
told downcast Parisians.
But Frenchmen, if they were re-
signed, weren't won over. They
liked the open platforms and not
the automatic doors.
OF the $500 buses in Paris, near
ly 1,50O still have open platforms.
These were built between 1881 and
1888. Every year 200 new buses
are put in service and 120 old ones
dumped in the used car heap.
Milford chronicle., 1959-09-18
BY EDWARD EsMERIAN

The city fathers took note of
rising casualty rates two years
ago and decided the open-platforn1-
ed antiques must go. The move
ment is now in full swing and al
most half the old buses have been
scrapped.
