(UPI Telephoto) Bombing Threats In Schools Present Problems for Heads Dayton, Ohio (LTD - A tele phone rings in a school and a secretary answers. A curt voice says, "A bomb is going to explode in your school soon. We mean business." The caller hangs up. If you are a school super intendent, responsible for the well-being of 5,000 young ster', what do you do? Dismiss school for the day and encourage a prankster who wanted you to do exactly that? Or assemble sheriffs depu ties and school custodians to conduct a hasty search of your five sprawling schools while the pupils remain in their classes and you pray the caller didn't "mean busi ness"? - ' ,. Problem Faces Superintendent This problem today faced Vaughn Lewis, superintend ent of schools in-prosperous, rapidly growing Beaver Creek Township, just outside the southwestern Ohio city of Dayton. The 4,700 students under Lewis' jurisdiction lost a day of schooling . this week be cause of a telephoned bomb threat, the latest in a series in the five-county area which in cludes the Dayton and Cin cinnati metropolitan centers, s The first scare occurred in 'TCorth College Hill, a suburb ;bf Cincinnati, in September. Officials closed the schools ior a day but reopened them th following Saturday and made attendance mandatory. .The school' received; no more threats. Woman Phones Threat ' A woman telephoned police In Carlisle, a small town 10 miles south of Dayton, Mon day and said a bomb had been planted in a school. About 1,400 students were sent home. Police searched all schools in the town but found no bomb. Tuesday, a caller tele phoned the Sugar Creek school in Bellbrook, near Bea ver Creek Township, at 12:15 p.m. He said a bomb would go off within 45 minutes. School was dismissed for the day. ; Lewis said he thought the call - his school system re ceived was just the beginning of another rash. One threat inspires another somewhere else, he said. , , , Cozy, Smart- Smallpox Still Major Public Health Problem : i Washington, (Science Serv ice) The number of small pox cases in the Americas is now. one-fourth of the num ber 10 years ago, the Pan American Health .

Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- A CONFIRMED BACHELOR, president of a bank, and on the threshold of sixty, decided matrimony had its attrac tions after all, so he married a plump widow with an allur ing 18-year-old daughter. It soon became apparent that he was much more interested in the daugh ter than in her mother. Chided by his directors for causing gossip injuri ous to the bank, the pres ident defended himself vigorously. "Gentlemen," he explained, "I merely am living up to a bank ing tradition: 'Have fun with : the interest, but never touch, the princi pal.' n . . - .
