grazing his for several week*-.
Now i' a good time to fert-

already. Plenty of pho'ph-

"He is a slave of the greatest slave, who serves nothing
but himself."
Well ... nobody can call all those marvelous people in PTA
slavesl Because they surely were not thinking of them,
selves, as they "turned to", and put on a fantastic show
of entertainment Saturday night'
If it were added up, how many hours of volunteer work do
you suppose went into this activity? Like the construction
of the dunking booth for example fliot to mention the long,
long, minute* contributed by the volunteers, who sat shaking
and cold for somebody's entertainmentthe building of the
Spook Hoise, putting up decorations, making signs, order-
ing the prizes, putting games together, building booths,
stretching bottle*, making flower*, organizing a country
store...making sandwiches, cakes, pie, candy...and who had
enough "hot air'' to blow up all those balloons?
It was a real fine example of team effort; If no profit had
been made, It would have -till ser\ed a very good purpose.,
bringing people together In a project of work, plav, fun,
and fellowship.
Good going, ITA lea 'ers'

(Continued from Page 1 )
endeavors to meet the needs.
Interests, and abilities of all
of its students. Each year
the curriculum Is evaluated
and changed or modified as
the needs indicate.
This year a group of sixth
grade students are participat-
ing In a program that we are
excited about. This program
Is open only to sixth grade
students this school year.
The students are getting the
advantage of the latest tech-
nique* in teaching,up-to-date
materials, an abundance of
visual aids and an opportuni-
ty to work In small groups
and progress at their own
rate.
The program emphasize* all
communicative skill' espec-
ially creative writing and
thinking. Much of the con-
tent is taken from the Soc-
ial Studiec and American Her-
itage concepts. Much concern
is given to study skills and
organization procedures. Re-
search has proven that when
a studen' know* how to study,
find information and then or-
ganize thi' material in an
orderly and usable manner,
than real learning has taken
place.
The students are divided into
two groups of fifteen each.
Two periods each day they
are in the communicative ski.
It. .1. •
lis classes where reading,
writing, speaking, spelling,
listening and study skills are
taught. Concepts In gram-
mar and literature are includ-
ed as the needs are found.
Map skills, geography and
history, and use of reference
materials are correlated into
the units of study.
While one group parti-
cipates in the communicative
skills activities, the other
group meets in 'he Learning
center where emphasis is
placed on Math and Science,
Many films, pictures and
learning activities are en-
joyed. Care is taken to a',
sure that each student prog-
resses as fast as his abili-
ty will allow. Mastery of
skills and understanding of
each concept are evaluated
carefully. Field trips are
included when they are re-
lated to materials covered.
After lunch the groups ro-
tate, giving each student an
opportunity to participate In
all contest areas during
each day. Close observation
to problems and progress
allows the program to meet
the needs of each student.
The student^ are now in-
volved in a study of our lo-
cal Heritage. Maps will be
drawn, stories will be writ-
ten using incidents from ear-
ly days as the plot , visits
will be made to the histori-
cal plot®, and illustrations
will be drawn. The study
and und rstandlng of our lo-
cal history will enable the
students to have a deeper In-
sight to the history of our
country and the world.
Handwork ind creative
crafts are Included as they
relate to the study, or the
season, or the interest of the
students make it suitable to
be included.
The students were given a
Basic Skill Inventory at the
beginning of the school year.
Another evaluation will be
m3de after Christmas and an-
other near the close of school
to enable the students to see
the progress they have made.
Several meetings will be
planned for the parents. The
purpose of these meetings
will be to explain different
aspects of the program. Also I
they will have an opportunity |
to cer their child's progress
and ask questions. Then tech.
nlque* and activities will be |
explained to them, with sug-
gestion' for activities that |
„ they can help their child par-
ticipate in at home to make I

Two new members were an-
nounced for the Rusk Lions
Club last Thursday. Mr. Joe
Ed Anderson and Mr. Daniel
New. We are so happy to
have them-they will be in-
stalled at a later date. As a
guest we had Mr, Howard
Loden. Lion Lloyd Pipes
was with us, also Lion Carl-
ton Jones of Alto and Lion
Lewie Byer's kid brother
from up Jacksonville way.
Also Lion James Blanton, past
president of the Rusk and
Alto Lions Club.
We had a real treat last
meeting in that Lion Bill Wh-
itten, a former Rusk Lion,
presented our program. Lion
Bill ic Pre-ident of theHills-
boro Lions Club, attended
Lions International Con-
vention this year and we un-
derstand is doing a bang up
good job in Hillsboro. Lion
Bill introduced Past District
Governor Patt Whittaker and
said that they are planning to
run him for International Di-
rector in 1972, From theim-
pre sion he made on the Rusk
I ions he will be elected, A
truly great I ion and we wish
him well.
Lion Pat stated that all small
towns had their problems with
growth and rising cost. All
industry is going tothecities,
therefore there is no time in
history that a small town
needs a Lions Club as it
does now. Lions Clubs can
help solve some problems.
Over 50 years ago a group
met in Dallas, Texas and de-
cided to form a club to serve
rather than just an eating club.
50 years later L.ion Pat stated
that he was in this same room
and there were people from
around the world-The Lions
Club, or rather Lions Inter-
national, had grown to the
greatest service club in the
world. Stories about what
the Lions have done all over
the world are unbelievable.
One village was built by a
group of people that had
rosy-the village was built for
others. They were Lions.
Then at our Lions Cripple
Childrens Camp at Kerrville,
Texas It is always a thrill
to see those children helping
one another. Most of the time
their greatest thrill is to help
another child that Is In worse
shape than themselves. This
makes the child feel impor-
tant, perhaps for the first
time. Come back to see
us Lion Pat Whittaker,
An applicant for a driver's
license came to the question;
"How many feet are required
to stop a car traveling 30
mph?" He answered straight-
forwardly; 'Two feet, one
for the clutch, one for the
brake." He got his license.
