NEWS NOTES



Have you seen this year’s “Safety
First” Calendar put out by the Car-
negie Steel Company? The calendar
consists of posters designed by
pupils of schools in the Pittsburgh
vicinity. Aside from being attrac-
tive in the way of posters, it is very
suggestive and helpful to teachers.
It is of special interest to us because
one of our number, Harriet Kearns,
has had one of her high school post-
ers included. It is well worth one’s
while to go to the library to see it.



Any one needing medical or dental
aid in Grove City should see Miss
Walters, as she has been driving an
ambulance to that city the past few
weeks. That she has successfully
conducted her tours is testified by
her patients, among whom are Miss
Easley, Mrs. Fisher and Miss Gladys
Keer.

Teacher Training Bureau at Harris-

tal. A large green square which Miss
Parks is knitting will be put in th'e
center. Anyone desiring to contri-
bute or to knit a six-inch square for
the afghan may get details by seeing
Mrs. Hamm.



On Monday evening, January 21,

not so easy to profit by them.
