Miss Rebekah S. Sheaffer, not

ator of Bareville, Pa, will be
guest speaker at the annual Sill
yer Eagles banquet to be held
March 80 in the Twentieth Cen

fer, who has been called "the

vine sense of humor," lists an
acute interest in people and a
zest for living as keynotes of
her colorful career. The 18th
century French writer, Sebastien
R. N. Chamfort, once remarked
"the most useless day of all is
that in which we have not
laughed" Those who attend the

School Vacation

Officials of the Smyrna Spec
ial School District have an
nounced that Easter vacation,
originally scheduled to begin on
Monday, April IL, will now be-
gin on Wednesday, April l3 thru
Monday, April 18, inclusive.
This change has been made ne
cessary as a result of days lost
due to snow. The board regrets
that this change will undoubt-
edly cause inconvenience to
some persons, nevertheless state
law requires that 180 days of
school be observed by all dis
tricts each year. The only other
choice is to extend the length
of the school days by additional
days in June, and this also Gre
ates many difficulties.

ward while living" He also
commended DR.. Prickett and the

In ten northeastern states over

pm, Sunday from Lake Como
by Tommy Stachecki, a high

him that she thought she saw
a boy in a red coat lying Non
the ice offshore in back of the
home of DR.. Ralph B. Jones.
Tommy drove quickly back
along Lake Drive and ran in
and told the Jones family that
there was a boy in the lake.
Thinking quickly, Tommy un-
fastened a garden hose from the
faucet and ran out on the ice
and threw it out to the boy
and pulled him in. Meanwhile,
Mrs. Jones had. called the Smyr-
ma police. DR.. Jones and his
son, Brandon went out with a
rope, but the Stachecki boy was
bringing the Riddagh boy in,
David Todd, member of the To-
cal police force, who had just
cruised around the Lake Como
area was on Hamilton Lane
when he got a radio call from
the State Police in his car. He
hurried to the Jones home and
took the boy to the mayors
home on Lake Drive, not far
from the scene of the rescue.
Young Riddagh was alone and
walked out on the ice which
seemed solid, but he told his
father that suddenly it got soft
and he fell in, but clung to the
edge of the ice.
