presented the panel, Stanley
Balfrcy, Yreka, George Ches-
sum, Etna and Robert Manley,
Mt. Shasta. Topic discussed
was "Problems Facing Eighth
Graders Upon Entering High
School." Mr. Chcssum said
the goal is to ''learn more in
less time in high school
with the aid of test scores,
teacher's judgment and grade
level maintained enables them
to weed out the ones not
ready for advanced classes."
"The humanities should be
stressed as much as science
and mathematics for a well
rounded education," Mr. Man
ley said.
Mr. Balfrcy went into the
segregating of students ac
cording to abilities. "If this
is continued we will set up
an educationally elite group,"
he explained, adding that 90
per cent of the children enter
ing high school want to be
doctors or engineers and that
less than ten per cent can
qualify. "Children and par
ents are advised of the child's
capabilities," he pointed out.
The seventh and eighth
grade choir presented several
selections under the direction
of Daniel Soarcs.
Following the program, re
freshments were served by
Mrs. Robert Weber and Mrs.
Arthur Halterman. The flag
was presented by Cub Pack
62 under the leaders Mrs.
R. M. Jennott and Mrs. For
rest Seright. Boys participat
ing were Richard Seright,

Waggoner.

New Beach Wear Bares the Knee
United Press International
The newest in beach wear
bares the knees. Not for dunk
ing but just for relaxing and
sunning are the new length
skirt or culottes which end
just above the kneecap.
The latest fashions in minia
ture charms do the most amaz
ing things. A report from
London tells of solid gold min
iatures of television sets, ra
dios and cigarette boxes - all
of them designed to play mu
sic. The radio and cigarette
box tune up when the lid is
opened; the TV set switches
on with the turn of a knob.
Another gimmick is the gold
"toaster" charm. Gold toast
pops up from a tiny box after
it has been set by a knoD.
Listen for the "ruffle" of
spring in dresses and play
clothes for the toddler set.
Ruffles are used to trim col
lars, sleeves and bloomer legs;
to decorate the backside of
play suits; and to edge the
pantaloons worn under coor
dinated trapeze tops. .
Cheese is perishable and
should be stored in an airtight
container or wrapped and put
in the refrigerator. Processed
cheese and cheese spreads
keep well at or below 70 de
grees, but should be refriger
ated after they are opened.
