CHOOL ATTENDANCE
SUFFERS FROM BAD
WEATHER IN COUNTY
Dirt Roads Made Almost
Impassable bv Rains,
Snow and Sleet
During the Christmas holidays
much snow fell and froze. Follow
ing the snow heavy rains fell
which thawed the snow, The
heavy rains and the thawing of
the snow made the dirt roads al
most impassable.
School opened January 6th, with
poor attendance; on account of
the bad roads and heavy rains.
The buses were late getting in
because they could not travel fast.
Many were stuck in the mud sev
‘eral times. Part of the routes
were impossible to travel over
after the school children.
The heavy raines made it im
possible to get pver the bus route.
‘Many times the busses sank in the
“rotten” ground, eausing the chil
dren to unload in the bad weather
in order for the bus to get out.
Not only was it bad on the gchool
children, but it was bad on the
bus; the hard spinning burns. up
the motor and wears out the tires.
* The slippery roads were very
dangerous, as the truck was liable
to skid and injure the children.
The rains continued on until the
roads were impassable, and the
‘busses were permitted to quit
‘running on account of the danger.
~ Bchool closed January Bth and
opened January 13th, with a good
‘attendance. All the roads were
dry but still rough with “ruts.”
‘We hope that the weather con
tinues to be good, so all can come
and get the work together.

The Everlasting Why
Did it ever occur to you that the time might come
when you would be no longer dependent upon the par
ents you live with? As a small boy or girl the question
of why you had to do this and that was forever a puz
zle. Certain problems and tasks given were always
followed with a question.
- A small boy once played as long as he could, and
when it became dark and he was called into the house
fior his supper, he replied with the usual answer, Al
though he was not able to stand the playing any long
er, he hated to admit his defeat and go in. Instead he
whined and pleaded to stay longer. His mother, being
a very efficient woman, could not stand his whining.
She merely went into the yard and took her son .into
the house where she gave what he needed.
So often we find ourselves in the position of the
small boy, and instead of doing anything about our
problems our inborn nature tells us to whine and may
be the world will take pity. Or maybe the Relief lady
(she is gone) will hear us. The world is still wonder
ing when she is going to get rid of her cry babies, In
stead of standing on both feet and telling the world
that we are and can do a given task our old feeling
tells us to ery and the best will come to our aid,
Of course there are a few sane people who realize
what they are up against and make the best of things
by trying to do all they can to help, and do not try to
retard progress. Their answer to the eternal and
everlasting why in patience, work, cooperation, and
understanding between the people they work with.
How are you to gain the above? By trying each day
to help the person you forgot the day before. The
everlasting why is the eternal why because it answers
itself when it says, ‘“Seek and find for yourself the
door of opportunity; it is open.’””
SEEIN’ IS BELIEVIN’!

Class Gets Epistle
From Paris, France
Our French class was very glad
to hear the opinion of teachers in
France about our correspondence,
The following is a letter sent by
a teacher in France to Mrs. Bond:
’ Paris, Dec. 9th, 1935,
‘Dear Mrs, Bond:
I found your letter of November
12th on my desk one day at school
I was very pleased to read it and
;I gave the included letter to one
of my girls who was anxious to
lget a girl correspondent in your
country.
Living in Paris it is very easy
}for me to organize the school of
correspondenc. Besides, being right
in the heart of the metropolis, T
lam very near the International
Bureau of Cerrespondence and I
g 0 there whenever I want to. I
am very much interested in cor
respondence. My girls generally
write to England, Australia, and
the States. On the whole, I find
it is very good work for them; it
compels them to study their les
sons and from the point of view
of “English.” It is a good result.
On the other hand, I think this
correspondence between young peo
ple leads to a better understanding
between peoples and nations at
large. I consider it is a way of
promoting universal friendship and
goodwill and at the present time
it seems more necessary than
ever.
I believe in boys and girls pro
vided they are well guided whilse
they are at school. I do my best
to teach them English, but I also
teach them the virtures of the
Anglo-Saxon race.
Part of my family lives in New
York; also for a long time I have
been interested in your country. I
hope to visit it Some day when the
general crisis is over. Until thom“
I shall content myself with writing
and reading the good news which}
comeg from there, |
I shall always be glad to hear
from you and I am sending you my
most cordial regards,
J. MARCONNET,
Teacher of English.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS FOUND
IN EGYPTIAN MUMMIES
“Only New Thing About It,” Says Dr. Leßoy W
Hubbard, “Is Name and Epidemic Proportions
Recently Reached”
L NEW YORK.—lnfantile paraly
sis, regarded as just another one
of the many troubles that people
didn’t have to worry about till
. modern times, is actualy a scourge
'as old as the histoy of man.
The fact is brought out in a
survey recently completed pere by
Dr. I.eßoy W. Hubbard, director
lot extension work for the Warm
| Springs Foundation of New York,
.i-m which he reviewed the disease
lin its ancient and modern aspects.
| Found in Egyptian Mummies |
' “The only new thing about in
fantile paralysis is its present-day
‘name and the fact that in recentl
years it has reached pan-epidemic
proportions,” Dr, Hubbard =ays.
'He points out that Dr. Victor
Clarence Vaughan, the noted med
ieal historian, has reportad “def
inite evidence of infantile paraly
sig in BEgyptian mummies,” andl
that the disease was familiar un~
der various names in medieva]l
Europe.
. Dr. Hubbard's survey, concen
trated for the most part on the
situation in the United States, em
phasized the seriousness of the
ditease in modern times, offset
only by the work of secientific in
vestigators and of lay workers
under the leadership of Colonel]
Henry L. Doherty, chairman of mei
National Committee for the Birth- |
day Ball for the President since
1934.
Epidemics
“The first big modern epidemic |
in the United States,” Dr, Hub- |
bhard points out, “occurred in 1916 |
It reached every state in the union§
and struck down more than 25‘0001
persons, the majority of them |
children. Since then all statesl
have had recurrent attacks, and’
large or small outbreaks have pre
vailed almost annually.” * I
The investigator believes that!
1935 will stand out in the history
of the scourge in this country as
the first year when there were
widespread epidemics in Southerr
states. North (Carolina had more
than 800 cases, Virginia about 600.
New York, New Jersey, Connecti
cut, Kentucky, Michigan and Cal
ifornia all suffered from gattacks.
Total number of 1936 cases will
reach more than 10,000, he esti
mates. .
Birthday Ball to Help
Dr. Hubbard's findings were
released shortly after the an
nouncement here that the organi
zation was already under way for
the 1936 Birthday Ball for the
President on January 30, proceeds
from which will be used to com
bat the disease.
The Warm Springs Foundation
will receive 30 per cent of the
money raised to forward their na
tionwide anti-paralysis war.
The remaining 70 per cent, ac
cording to Colonel Doherty, will
remain in local communities rais<
ing the money for after-treatment
in the rehabilitation of sufferers. |

The Little-Known Side Of
The Romantic John Gilbert
Paul Harrison Gives You
Some Interesting “‘ln
sides’” on Famed Actor
BY PAUL HARRISON
(NEA Service Staff Correspondent)
HOLLYW/OOD — John Gilbert,
alive, was a has-been—a roman
ticist without, love, an artist with
out a medium, a workman without
a job. He wasn't much missed
from the celluloid scehe—
. —untjl he died. And John Gil
bert, dead, looms large in the crazy
pattern of Hollywood, because he
was more than a great idol; he
was a trouper. KEven so, many
days after his death, Hollywood
still ig recollecting anecdotes.
The colony is hearing about Jim
Adamson, and how finconsolable
he is, now that Gilbert is gone.
Jim is a barber, and has been
a screen barber ever since there
was a studio at Culver City. Away
back in the old Triangle days, at
a Christmas eve party at the stu
dio, Jim noticed a shy young man,
an extra, hanging around wistfully
on the fringe of the frolic. He
spoke to him, and impulsively in
vited him to his house for Christ.
mas dinner,
Gilbert never forgot that kind
ness. Even after he was establish
ed as the greatest star of his day
the Adamsons treated him like a
son. Jim was the only one who
ever cut Gilbert’'s hair,
A couple of days befcre he died
the actor telephoned the shop and
asked Adamson to come to his
house. Jim was busy and couldn't
gO. If he had only known! Why,
if he had known, he would have
gone even if he had been half-way
through shaving Irving Thalberg.
Tony’s Pal
And Tony, the Mexican gardener.
Bvery morning, for years, Tony
said good morning to Senor Gilbert,
and asked for a cigaret and got it,
That was a kind of ritual, andg
Senor Gilbert never was too hur
ried, or with people of too much
importance, to give Tony a cigaret.
When word came of the actor’s
passing. Tony hurried to the
church. Instead of lighting a can
dle, he burned a cigaret.
Hollywood remembers, now, that
Gilbert was the first romantic idol
to be confronted by a sound micro
phone. They didn’'t know how to
write dialog in that day, nor how
to monitor sound.
In “His Glorious Night,” Gil
bert’s voice emerged several tones
higher than normal. And audien
ces snickered at the awkward scene
in which hé had to say: “I love
you. I love you, I love you .. .”
Broods Over Volce
He got the idea that the public
thought him effeminate because
of that voice. He spent a fortune
trying to have it lowered. He Dbe.
came ill-tempered and pugnacious
—all because of brooding over his
failure and believing that people
thought his a sissy.
| A number of men, Jim Tully
among them, trounced him in fist
fights. But it always was Gilbert
who swung first.
For years he sat morosely in his
lonely big bungalow, and Busvex
Keaton, who lived next door, used
to pop over every day or so and
put on an act to cheer up the fallen
idol.
It wasn't idolatry he wanted,
though. Gilbert was a trouper, and
all he wanted was a job. There
was the time he put an advertis
ment in tne trade magzines: “At
Liberty—John Gilbert.” [magine Gil
bert advertising for a job! He sat
at home and waited for the tele
phone to ring. It didn't.
He asked his chauffeur what to
