Christmas: Second Installment
So it's almost here! Oul
school children have been ready
for it a long time. One cannot
enter an elemntary building
these days without being imme.
diately made aware of how
much work and planning our
youngsters have put into the
identifying of their school
premises for the holidays.
One thing that impresses us
this year is that so much of the
decorating is the children's very
own work. In the cold days
(not so very long ago), the
custodians and electricians dug
out miles of cord, blew or en-
dangered scores of fuses, and
supplied and replaced bushels
of colored lights to assure ev-
cry classroom and corridor of
Christmas displays of one sort
or another.
Now it is the children's own
work. They make use of a be-
wildering variety of materials
-toothpicks, cot ton, foil,
paper, paint-to produce all
sorts of "torees", streamers, ar
tificial flowers and bangles
that all convey the exuberance
and pleasure that young chill
dren share at the approach of
Christmas.
Nowhere can this variety be
better seen than at MAYFAIR
School. No two rooms are the
same in that building. They
even have a Kleenex rose bush,
which sounds impossible but it
sn't. 1t is very pretty indeed.
They also have cardboard San
,as and other creations of the
own invention, all of
which add to the decoration of
rooms which they have fixed
ust the way they want theem,
and not the way someone else
links they should look.
Merry Christmas and
Happy 1861 to all

well, and everyone was pleased.
The children followed this UP
with telling the story of their
entire project in well-construct-

all had a right to be proud of.
Color Slides Show
Southeastern u. S.
Colored slides Of scenes in
several parts of the Southeast
ern United States were shown
recently to their classmates by
four pupils in Miss Audrey
Scott's fifth grade class at Cal
edonia School.
The children, who had accom-
panied their parents on trips
through that region, identified
the scenes for their classmates
and provided a running COM
mentary during the program.
Williamsburg and Monticello
in Virginia, Washington, D. c..
and Florida were the scenic and
historic places illustrated by
the slides. Considerable knowl-
edge Of these spots was nee
essary for the boys and girls
to explain the pictures as they
were shown, and they displayed
a good deal Of familiarity with
them as they added their infor-
nation to the facts shown by
the slides.

Rozelle Tour Takes in Dairy
Chocolate milk, cottage
cheese and ice cream, plus
sandwiches from home, topped
off an educational tour of the
Hillside Dairy in Cleveland
Heights recently taken by two
roomfuls of second graders at
Rozelle School.
Under the guidance Of their
teachers, Mrs. Joseph LOGON
ii and Miss Eleanor Brown, the
children left the school in the
Board of Education bus for the
dairy at eleven thirty and were
back at school by two.
At the dairy they saw a
"bottle feeder" and a bottling
machine at work, watched the
cleaning and sterilizing proc
esses which are a constant ac-
compartment of milk handling
at a dairy, and were shown a
cartoon movie about milk.
After their lunch at the
dairy, they returned to school
and composed "thank you" let
ters to Mrs. Lotus, the hostess
at the plant who had acted as
their guide.
Now the boys and girls have
seen how milk gets into bottles.
Later on in their schooling they
will visit farm, and will trace

Fisher was taken i'll following

physician was ordered to the

died about half an hour after ad-
mittance.
When findings disclosed the
cause of death, it was decided to
question Mrs. Fisher who police
said is highly emotional. She was
eventually taken before Sussex
County Deputy Atty. Gen. Freder-
ick P Whitney at Georgetown and
after further interrogation was re-

Following a mental examination
she was taken to the hospital last

Detectives said they found cy-
