To the E ditor:
Ju st my opinion, of course, but
I think the situation around the
" firin g ” of some of our high
school teachers is a crying shame
and disgrace. Mr. Hagen and the
teachers have been most coopera­
tive in many situations coming
under my jurisdiction. They have
helped me at times to help * ►me­

I firmly believe that any school
com m ittee m ember wishing to
judge or " f ir e ” a teacher should
have been in a position (or at
least in the com m unity) to know
w hat they were talking about.
H eavenbless the school teachers,

are most certainly not paid for

Fighting to save a king’s ran ­
som in diamonds for a jungle
beauty, Johnny W eissmuller, king
of the jungle stars, really hits his
action stride in his latest spic,
“Jungle Jim and the Lost T ribe.”
Johnny, as Jungle Jim , again
proves an exciting hero, as he p e r­
forms his prodigious feats of
strength and daring. Myrna Dell
portrays a comely blonde who a t
firs t is arrayed against Jim b u t
la te r attem pts to aid him and is
subsequently elim inated from the
picture; Miss Verdugo is appro­
priately beautiful as the jungle
queen, while Joseph Vitale plays
the principal villain.
