The will of Denis Delea, who
worked for 67 years in a local
store, left 30 pounds—$84 to the
firm “to compensate for any time
I have wasted in their employ
ment.”
Delea collapsed at his desk re
cently and died at the age of 80.
Grounds for Dis "cuss" ion
CASPER, Wyo., UP)—A woman
complained a city employe used
abusive language after giving her
car “a good whack” with a broom.
City Manager Henry Rofles
said a street employe admitted
“cussing” the woman.
He told Rofles he lost his tem
per only after the woman:
Drove around a “Do Not Enter”
sign, drove over freshly painted
parking area stripes and rammed
him from behind, knocked him
to the pavement. He said his
broom flew into the air and land
ed on the car.
The matter has been dropped.

There is one policy which has
been established this year relative
to room parties in which some of
your mothers will be interested.
We will permit four one-hour par
ties during the year: Hallowe'en,
Christmas, Valentine's and the
end of the year. Parties will be
held during the last hour of the
day on the last school day prior
to the official holiday.
Room Mothers
If any of you mothers are inter
ested in becoming a room mother
please indicate your interest to
your child’s teacher as possible
candidates names are now being
compiled by the teachers, who
will submit them to the PTA
Room Mothers Committee. This
committee will make the final
selection.
School Board
At the regular September meet
ing of the Nome School Board,
held at school, Tuesday, Sept. 8,
water, oil and sanitary service
bids were opened. Contracts were
let with the three low bidders:'
Bronson Water, City Fuel, and
Arctic Sanitary Service.
It was decided at this meeting
that the increased First Grade
enrollment necessitated the em
ployment of an additional First
Grade teacher. Mrs. Mary Ann
Molitor has been contracted to fill
this vacancy.
! There are still two vacancies
! on the staff: A Second Grade
j teacher, and a music instructor.
Contracts have been offered to
applicants for these positions.
Suggested Reading
We urge all of you who have
| not had an opportunity to do so,
j to read the Sept. 14 issue of Time
| magazine — the article entitled
! “U.S. Public School, Can They
j Produce Quality in Quantity?” on
! Page 70. There is much food for
I thought in this article concerning
J the turn of educational philos
j ophy in the next few years to
come.

Rocket Ship X-15 Makes
First Powered Flight
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif., (#>—The rocket ship X-15,
which later this year may blast
a man to the edge of space, made
its first powered flight Thursday.
It skimmed in for a 200 mph
plus landing on a dry lake bed
after ten minutes in the air.
With veteran North American
Aviation test pilot Scott Cross
field at the controls, it was cut
loose from its B52 mother ship
38,000 feet over this desert test
center at 8:09 a.m.
Much of the flight could be
seen from the ground. Crossfield
zoomed to 50,000 feet, made some
maneuvers while flying a 100
mile circle, then landed after his
fuel was exhausted.
The stubby - winged, 50 - foot
black X-15, using more powerful
engines, is expected to rocket
more than 100 miles high at faster
than 4,000 mph later this year.
