them with our readers.
The Spook House
Once a little girl was going
in a dead man’s house. When
she started in the door, t h e
steps laughed at her. She was
very scared, but was hunting
her daddy’s body. While she was
hunting it, a big spider came.
The spider was scared of her,
but she did not know it. She
started hitting and some false
teeth fell out of his mouth.
She stood still a minute and
the spider started sinking. Fin-

‘ally, the spider sank away.
- Then she heard a loud noise.
She wondered what it could
be. It was just an old parrot
yelling for his gold ear that
he had lost.
Later, she went upstairs.
She looked under a bed. She
looked under a bed. She saw
a green frog. It had six legs,
four eyes, and twelve feet. This
made her so scared that s h e
jumped out of her shoes in a
closet. Here, she found h e r
daddy’s body. She took it home
and never went in another
dead man’s house all her life.

The Talking Picture
My aunt painted a picture
of my great grandfather. One
day, I was lonely. I started
talking to myself. All at once,
I heard someone speaking to
me. I did not know who it was.
I was startled. Finally, I ]ooked{
at the picture. Sure enough,
great grandfather was talkingl
to me. From that time on when
I was lonely, I talked to that
picture.

Once there was a dog named
Frisky who could make pan
cakes. He would flatten theml
by sitting on them.
Afterwards, he would put on
high heel shoes and go to the!
store to get one pound of ba
nanas. i
The funniest thing about him
as he lay in the bed, suddenly,
he would start walking in his
sleep. He woke up one morning
on top of a flag pole and could
not get down. The crows were
very kind to him. Two took him
by the ears and four took his
legs. Carefully, they put himi
on the ground.

Wheeler Favors
Cold War Gl Bill
For Veterans
Pete Wheeler, director of the
Georgia Department of Vete
rans Service, says he believes
as long as the draft law re
mains in effect Congress should
provide some type of education
al assistance for peacetime vete
rans.
He referred to “cold war”
veterans who entered the ser
vice after January 31, 1955 —
the cutoff date for Korean Bill
benefits.
Congress is now considering
a bill which would give school

This six weeks we have stud
ied the British Isles. We have
made reports on England,
William the Conqueror, Kin g
George 111 and Alfred the
Great.
In April we will have an op
en house. We will show our pa
rents our science and mathe
matics things.
From 1:30 we play volley
ball until 2:15. We learned the
eight parts of speech and in
Health we made food charts.
David Burson, reporter
This six weeks we h av e
been busy. In Science we have
been making experiments that
tell us whether the different
kinds of soil are an alkaline or
an acid. In Health we are mak
ing posters that show different
kinds of foods we need to eat.
In English we are studying the
parts of speech. We are divid
ing fractions in arithmetic.
This April we are going to have
a Science and math exhibit. In
this exhibit we will show pos
ters and some of our papers.
We hope the parents will en
joy it.
‘ by Eddie Hinton
~ Today we have a new pupil,
her name in Patricia Thomp
son. We hope she will like our
school. She is from Rockdale.
We are making health pos-
aid to these veterans.
Wheeler said educational op
portunities and benefits to be
provided should be patterned
after provisions of the Korea
War GI Bill and should con
tinue as long as we have com
pulsory military service,
He said, “The U. S. must
continue to remain strong edu
cationally if it is to assume a
role in bringing order out of
chaos throughout the world,
and the cold war bill would be
a big step in this direction.”
With the Korea Program
fading out, Wheeler noted that
the present draft laws place a
cold war veterans at a competi
tive disadvantage in getting a
job following military service.
{ Cold war legislation, he add
led, won’t upset the national
ters. We drew Science pictures
also for the open house, which
will be on April 17. In English
we have the eight parts of
speech. For Social Studies we
have special reports. We a r e
studying England. David Wo
mac, Steve Chapman and I
have Elizabeth Ist.

We have had a lot of fun
this six weeks. Our teacher,
Mrs. Meyer, has been teaching
us to play Volleyball. Our class
saw the seventh and eighth
grade Volleyball tournaments.
In English we have b e e n
taking up the eight parts of
speech. We are diagraming sen
tences too. All of us think dia
graming is fun. We are mak
ing posters in Health of dif
ferent foods we need to eat.
In Science we have b e en
making experiments about acids
and bases. We tested food and
soils. We also tested cloth by
burning it to find what kind
it was by the smell, and kind
ling point and ash. We have
found that dividing fractions :s
much fun.

Around 150,000 Georgia

“I hope more Georgians who |,
know of this bill’s purpose will
write their congressman or the |
President urging passage of|
education benefits for peace
time veterans,” Wheeler con
cluded.
