* School News
p
At school this week the main
topic of discussion has been the
recent storm. There were a good
many students absent last Mon
day, because of it. Others, seeing
a chance to play hookey without
detection, stayed out. Tuesday
morning saw us all back in school
going at our lessons with our
usual diligence.
It won’t be long now until the
tuberculosis stamps are on sale
again and we’ll be asking you to
contribute something to this good
t cause. We all know and have
seen the effects of tuberculosis so
we should be more than willing to
help in the effort to stamp it out.
1st and 2nd Grades
The Hallowe’en Party was the
big event of the week. The com
•mittee brought cookies and fruit
juice. We invited little brothers
and sisters and more than twenty
came. We made masks and jacH
o-lanterns and dressed in funny
costumes. The most fun of all was
the parade we went through all
the other rooms. We enjoyed the
parade from the other rooms, too.
Tommie Fults is back in school
after having the chicken pox.
3rd and 4th Grades
The Hallowe’en Parade was
thoroughly enjoyed—by the par
ticipants at least. The costumes
were amusing and the masks were
both funny and frightening. The
fourth grade girls did a good job
of serving the lunch and cleaning
up afterwards. Nearly half of the
children in the room were kept
home by the storm Monday.
Fifth Grade
On Wednesday, Oct. 31, we
were invited to the sixth grade
room for a Hallowe’en party. Be
fore the party started each grade
room paraded through the other
grade rooms, wearing Hallowe’en
costumes and masks. After this
the six grades from sixth down to
first grade, paraded upstairs
through the seventh and eighth
grade room, high school science
room and downstairs again. There
were witch costumes, frog cos
tumes, ghosts, and other varia
tions. The fifth grade wore their
masks made in art class.
We went to the gym and ran a
race with the sixth grade, called
“Witches’ Broomstick’’ race, which
the sixth grade won. We had a
peanut race, carrying peanuts on
spoons, a wheelbarrow race and a
game called “Ring on the String.”
We had refreshments sitting in a
circle on the floor in Mrs. Wil
liams’ room. We ate jello, ice
cream, and cookies. The fifth
grade were pleased to be invited
to the party. From all accounts
some children fared well Hallow
e’en night also, especially the
“Treats or Tricks” gang.
6th Grade
We have been missing Mary
Ozenna and Roy Luke and hope
they will soon be back in school.
Our review of addition and sub
traction of fractions is over and
we are finding that multiplication
of fractions can be fun. Our room
invited the Fifth Grade to a Hal
lowe’en party. The Fifth Grade
boys won in the wheelbarrow race
J and we won the Witchs’ broom
stick race. Wilfred and Roy
brougth home made ice cream to
i serve with fruit jello and cookies.
| Everyone had a good time.

PRESIDENT OPENED
WAR FUND CAMPAIGN
WITH BROADCAST
The following address of the
President, was broadcast from
the White House in opening the
1945 National War Fund Cam
paign.
“My fellow’ Americans:
“This is the month when in
cities and towns throughout the
country the community war fund
is making its annual appeal. Per
haps you wonder why I am com
ing to you in behalf of a war fund
I drive, now that all our enemies
j have surrendered. I shall tell you
j why.
First let me explain that your
community war fund joins in one
combined appeal the agencies of
the National War Fund serving
our own armed forces and mer
chant marine and those agencies
; helping to relieve the suffering
; and want of war victims among
our Allies. The same federated
fund also unites—in Community
Chest cities—with the appeal for
1 local agencies guarding the health
1 and welfare of our own American
i homes and families.
We must support these war
fund agencies because of their
support of our armed forces. Of
course we gave our armed forces
in the field the best equipment
and supplies that we could pro
vide. We gave our men the best
training and leadership we could
secure. We gave them everything
we could. But there was one thing
that we had to depend on the
member agencies of the National
War Fund to supply. That was the
plain, human friendship, the good
neighborliness, the little bit of
home, that they provided our
service men and women through
every USO club and unit.
I am speaking to you tonight
because it is important, because
it is imperative, that these War
Fund agencies finish the job they
were set up to do. War service
has not ended. I don’t need to tell
that to anyone whose son is still
serving with the occupation forces
or with the service troops in this
country. For them, the war is
going on. That’s why USO and
USO-Camp Shows must go on
with the fine work they’ve been
doing—until all our service men
and women are back home with
us again.
Our returning veterans are
looking forward to happy homes
in which their children can grow
up the way they should. They are
looking worward to living in a
community which is concerned
with the welfare of its citizens.
They may not think of this in
terms of a child welfare program,
a family service society, a scout
troop, a recreation program, a vis
iting nurse of a clinic. But these
' services, which in most of our
cities are performed by agencies
of the local Community Chest,
help to determine the quality of
living in their community. These
are services from which everyone
in the community benefits.
The appeal of the National War
I Fund and your local Community
War Fund is a human appeal for
three causes — for continued
friendly services for the men and
women who still have a job to do
in the armed forces; for health
and welfare services for our own
people at home; and for relief and
assistance for the war stricken
people of liberated countries—our
Allies who fought by our side.
We have won the victory of
arms; now let us push on to great
er conquests—to the total victory
of human justice and decency and
faith in mankind.
Let us give abundant thanks to
God in victory, through our gen
erosity.
