Two-Pupil School
Shows Contrast
Of Old and New
Utica, N. Y. (U.R) The Bell
Hill schoolhouse, a few miles
north of here, is one of the few
schools in the state where it is
possible to study at first hand the
contrasts between old and new
educational facilities.
Bell Hill has a student body
of two, and a faculty of one
so there's no difficulty in estab
lishing a personal relationship
between teacher and pupil. And,
of course, another big problem
of modern educators lack of
classroom space never arises
here.
But the old schoolhouse does
suffer some handicaps unknown
to urban institutions. For in
stance, candles are used on dark
days since the school has no
electricity, and a potbelly stove
provides the heat. When coun
try roads are blocked by snow,
not infrequently, students and
teacher use snbwshoes to reach
the schoolhouse.
Future Uncertain
Mrs. Erma McKee, the teach
er, thinks these hardships are
more than compensated for.
How many teachers, she asks,
can take an entire class by auto
mobile to visit historic spots
in the state? Recently Mrs.
McKee took her students to Al
bany to .visit the capitol. On an
other trip they visited the Sara
toga battlefield. And how many
students learn how to make
candles for their own use, or
can go out into the fields for
mint, dry it and learn to make
mint tea?
Since there are only 30 tax
payers in the district and the
school's annual budget is less
than $4,000, Mrs. McKee serves
as principal and teacher for the
minimum salary allowed in the
state $2,700. She supplements
her income by working week
ends as a practical nurse.
The existence of the old school
is threatened by a. new state law
that will require Bell Hill to in
stall electricity, plumbing and
provide an approved water sup
ply. Unless it does so within
the next two years one of the
last reminders of another aca
demic era may be condemned.

Chieftain Whiiefeather will
speak in Medford Monday, Aug
ust 1, at Medford Church of the
Nazarene under the sponsorship
of Medford Council of Church
Women. His talk will be on the
problems of American Indians,
and anyone interested is invited
to attend. The meeting begins
at 8 p.m.
Chieftain
To Speak
On Monday
Everyone in the vicinity in
terested in the welfare of the
American Indians, particularly
those of the Klamath reservation,
is invited to attend a lecture
Monday, August 1 at 7:30 p.m.,
in the Medford Church of the
Nazarene. Speaker will be Chief
tain White Feather, grandson of
Chief Sitting Bull and his visit
here is sponsored by Medford
Council of Church Women.
Formally known as Dr. T. Ra
Mar S. Bull, the lecturer devotes
his time to guidance of the
American Indians to Christiani
ty and a peaceful discontinuance
of reservation rule.
Since the program of Oregon
and Medford Council of Church
Women calls for study and ac
tion on the problems of the
American Indian, Chieftain
Whitefeather is being brought
to Medford. Church women, wel
fare agencies and various civic
groups will work towards pro
tection of Indians during the re
adjustment period, it is stated,
and will work to see that they
have equal opportunities with
others for work and education.
It is hoped to educate both
Indians and the general public
against the possibility of un
scrupulous treatment when their
relationship as wards of the
federal government will be ter
minated during the next four
years.
In connection with his Med
ford visit he will appear at 4:45
p.m., Monday on radio station
KBES-TV dressed in his full Da
kota regalia, and he will speak
over radio station KYJC at 6:45
p.m., the same day.
Chieftain Whitefeather born
with a colorful background, has
himself led a colorful life.
He began his career as a
trapeze artist and soon was "dis
covered" by Walter Damrosch,
composer - conductor, who guid
ed him to a musical career. As
the result, the chieftain appeared
on all the continents singing in
seven languages including com
mand performances before royal
ty, and on Broadway. He also
sang in grand opera, played a
long engagement as "feature
organist" in Broadway theaters.
When he was nearly 26 Chief
tain Whitefeather was converted
to Christianity and since then he
has studied at Shelton college
and Columbia university and re
ceived advanced study and de
grees from Friends university,
Wichita.

New Rugs Said
Dirt Resistant
Chicago (U.R) Rugs which
all but eliminate the problem
of dirt feature the home acces
ories picture this year.
The new rugs, sure to make a
big hit with housewives bedevil
ed by dirt, are treated with
chemicals known as silicones
which shut out dust and loose
dirt.
The silicones were brought
into the battle against dirt after
long study of fabrics with the
electronic microscope which re
vealed millions of tiny holes
and crevices in the fibers where
ordinary screening agents could
not reach.
The tiny silicones, less than
a millionth of an inch in diam
eter, simply move into the little
holes and dents " in the fibers
and fill them leaving a smooth,
hard surface impervious to dirt.
Another feature of the home
accessories picture is the grow
ing use of leather.
Nearly 500 shades of leather
have appeared for use in every
thing from table tops to drap:
eries and wall coverings.
Most accessories are what one
expert termed "elegant and prac
tical at the same time" and scal
ed to the size of the mid-century's
smaller rooms.
The top place in the color pref
erences still goes to the beiges,
tans and cocoas, followed closely
by members of the red family,
ranging from pink to deep lav
ender. A fabrics specialist, however,
noted a threat to these leaders
in the sharp rise during the first
quarter of 1955 of the blues,
turquoises and aquas in public
favor. They made their best
mark in the upholstered furni
ture field. .
Theme Announced
For Club Dinner
"Camping Out," will be the
theme for the monthly dinner
meeting of Christian Business
and Professional Women to be
held Monday evening, August 1,
at 6 p.m., at the Hotel Jackson.
Reservations for the meeting
may be obtained by telephoning
Mrs. Gertrude Neff, 2-5622.
Vincent Smith will be speaker
for the evening and Mrs. Ada
Adams, soloist. The special fea
ture will be given by Mrs.
Gretchen Wade on "Camp Cook

Smoke and Fire
In Festival Play
Brings Problem
Ashland Shakespeare festi
val technicians, almost always
searching for unusual items for
unusual purposes, announced
their latest after a dress rehear
sal of the season's tragedy Thurs
day night. Technical Director
Frank Sullivan wants a "14-inch
electric fan to clear the stage
during Macbeth."
"If we don't get it, and if th
wind is southerly during Mac
Beth performances, some of my
tech crew working underneath
the stage will surely perish,"
Sullivan said.
To go into detail would be to
reveal closely guarded stag
secrets, but briefly the crew is
using certain unnamed chemicals
to manufacture smoke and "fire"
for the witches' scenes in Mac
beth. Instead of rising as it was
suppose to last night, a change
of wind sent clouds of smoke
billowing down through a trap
door and into workshops and
lighting booths underneath the
stage.
If he can't get the fan, Sulli
van says he's thinking of asking
the fire department for oxygen
masks.
"Perhaps the tech crew is ex
pendable," he says, "but the,,
audience can't hear the actors
on stage for all the coughing
underneath it. Spoils the effect
of the entire production."
