Central High School in Barker, N. Y. Is Huh oi
Community’:s Cultural and Recreational Life
By WILLIAM J. GREEN
HIS is the story of a new cen
tralized rural high school in the
little town of Barker, population 500,
town of Somerset, county of Niag
ara, state of New York.
Barker is similar to all our home
towns. It took years of back-break
ing work to clear the land, estab
lish a community and its industry,
plant fruit orchards, and develop a
home town. Gradual prosperity
evolved from that work, prosperity
that was enjoyed by the second,
third and fourth generations of pio
neer families. But there came a
time to Barker when it experienced
depression, its land prices almost
ruinous, its savings depleted or lost
and economic despair its lot.
In the depths of the depression,
the educational facilities and oppor
tunities in the Barker area were
limited. There was an academic
high school located in the village
and a one-room elementary school
for each of the districts in the
area. It was Lon J. McAdam Sr., for
more than 25 years a school ;
trustee, who decided the school sys- ;
tern was the place to begin for
Barker to emerge from its despond
ent plight.
Centralization Approved.
Serving with McAdam were John
Conolly, Wesley Gotts, Raymond [
Gardner and Albert Harrington. J
When Harrington retired, his place j
was taken by Bradford Sherwood.
For more than 10 years the faculty
of the school at Barker had been
under the direction of Milford H.
Pratt, supervising principal, who is
a native of Barker.
Under Mr Adam’s leadership—and
that leadership was often challenged j
—the voters of the school districts ■
approved centralization. That was
in 1937 and two years later the new
half-million dollar building was oc
cupied. It was a centralized rural
high school, adjoining the old
academic high school, situated on i
Quaker road, with 45 per cent of \
its cost borne by the federal gov- j
ernment. The one-room schools were j
abandoned and buses brought even !
the elementary pupils to Barker. |
The old high school building was
made the elementary school.
Further expansion of the central
ized rural high school came in 1939
when the National Youth adminis- '
tration resident training center was
located in Barker, co-sponsored by
the board of education. The school
extended its facilities to NYA-
selected youths from all over New
York state and received for its own
locality an otherwise unobtainable
shop program.
Add Many Courses.
Its curriculum was expanded to
include commercial courses, music
department, home economics and
agriculture. In 1940, NYA built a
production shop which became a
wing of the school, and early in 1941
began the production of small parts
for the army and navy. When war
broke out an even faster pace was
set.
At night the shop became the
classroom for adult defense trainees.
In its three years of operation more
than 1,000 men and women were
trained in shop practice, machine
operation, sheet metal, welding and
automotive and aircraft mainte
nance and repair.
When NYA was dissolved by con
gress in July, 1943, the tools and
building became the property of the
board of education. Barker also ob
tained a stock of agricultural
tools frcm a nearby NYA farm proj
ect, making a total acquisition val
ued at more than a quarter-million
dollars.
Adult trainees of the school found
employment in war industries in
Buffalo and Niagara Falls, with
aircraft and ordnance plants and
other factories turning out war
equipment.
Youth trainees, when physically
qualified, went into the armed
forces to serve their country. The
physically-handicapped boys found
employment in war industries.
Many of these young men were
brought to Barker, upon applica
tion, to receive training not avail
able in their home districts, and
today over 300 youths from every
section of New York consider Bark
er a second home!
In 1941 the board of education i
leased 160 acres ad - ining the
school. The land, v-hi .!> is extreme
ly level, was surreved and sub
mitted to the Civil Aeronautics ad
ministration as an airport site.
Eventually the CAA approved the
plans for a Class 1 airport, but in
the meantime the agricultural de-
LIVONIA, N. Y.—Army and navy
regulations couldn’t separate Tom
my, an Alsatian shepherd dog, from
his master, former Sgt. William
Whiting of Rochester, it was re
vealed here recently by Mrs. P. H.
Campbell, a sister of the former sol
dier, and reported in the Livonia
Gazette.
Tommy belonged to a French
woman living on the outskirts of
Metz when Sergeant Whiting found
him. The dog, who had been living
on potato skins, was literally skin
and bones. His mistress, though
fond of her pet, gave the dog to
Sergeant Whiting who promised to
feed the animal and take good care
of him.
Gave Tommy ‘Dope.’
Tommy, the shepherd dog, and
Sergeant Whiting went through the
war together with General Patton’s
3rd army. After victory the day
came for Sergeant Whiting to re
turn to the United States and it was
found that regulations prevented
taking Tommy along. The deter
mined sergeant made preparations
to smuggle the dog onto the ship
and take him to the United States.
partment of the school tilled a part
of it.
Focal Point of Town.
The school farm provided food for
use in the school cafeteria and served
as an experimental plot for both the
school and the community’s farm
ers, and became the demonstration
farm for the area. In 194b the tax
payers voted three to one to pur
chase the land.
Vocational teachers secured sur
plus obsolete aircraft for instruc
tional use, and in 1944 the CAA
granted the school an air agency
certificate with an A rating. Since
that time cub planes have landed
in the athletic field and have been
repaired in the school shop.
In war and in peace, in com
munity development and pride, in
recreational activities, the new cen
tralized high school at Barker,
N. Y., has become the focal point,
the hub for farmers, laborers and
business men, for youths and adults
—and all other hometown folks.
First, two hours before sailing,
Sergeant Whiting gave Tommy two
phenobarbital pills, which he
thought would put the dog to sleep.
But as they didn’t react as he had
expected, he followed up with
codeines.
On board boat he took Tommy to
the darkest comer in the hold of
the ship and hid him behind a
couple of duffle bags belonging to
two friends. Before the boat sailed,
a complete check was made for ani
mals and the searching party came
within two feet of Tommy and
asked •Sergeant Whiting if he had
seen any cats or dogs aboard, to
which question the reply was a de
cided “No.”
Quiet for Two Days.
For two days and nights Tommy
never stirred from behind those
bags, but at two o’clock in the
morning of the second night his
master took him up on deck to the
stern of the boat. On one of these
nightly excursions a sailor saw
Tommy and reported to the captain,
who made two inspections of the
hold of the ship, requiring all sol
diers to come on deck while the
search was made. Tommy must
have sensed what was going on, for
he never moved from behind the
duffle bags.
On the boat’s arrival in the Hud
son river, Tommy and his master
walked on deck — to the amaze
ment of all the officers and sailors
who had searched the boat. With
out further argument Sergeant Whit
ing was allowed to take his dog off
the boat, whereupon they boarded
a truck for Camp Shanks and later
a train for Fort Dix. From Dix a
trip was made to Trenton to a veter
inarian for the necessary shot, re
quired by law.
Who Gets Interviewed?
“The commonest complaint the
poll-takers hear is, ‘Why haven’t I
ever been interviewed?’ The an
swer is that the usual survey covers
only about 2,500 people. When this
number represents all economic,
geographic, sex and age groups in
their proper proportions, it will
yield a sampling of opinion that is
within 3 per cent of accuracy for
the whole country.

school overhaul a CAP plane under guidance of Leonard Carpenter,
instructor and civil air patrol pilot.

Sergeant Smuggles Dog from France
Pennsylvania
Expects 85,000
Back to Farms
If only those members of fam
families and hired hands who lef»
the farm during the war years re
turn to Pennsylvania’s farms, it
will mean a migration of 85,000 per
sons, according to statistics com
piled by Earle L. Moffitt, extension
farm management specialist at the
Pennsylvania state college.
In computing what opportunities
the state offers to returning service
men and war workers interested in
farming, Moffitt contends a large
factor is represented by those re
turning to the farms. In his figure
of 85,000 he included all those young
men and women in farm families
who entered military service, as
well as those that left agriculture
to enter war industries. He also in
cluded the large number of hired
hands, many of whom resided right
on the farms where they worked.
“It will be difficult to estimate
just how many will return to agri
culture,” said Moffitt. He explained
that many farm-reared persons may
not immediately go back to the
farms, as the result of experiences
gained during the wartime years.
He also indicated that any analysis
of the return to agricultural pur
suits may require several years—
the length of time necessary to
determine which individuals have
quit farming for their new interests.
All these figures, he indicates,
are based on the number of Penn
sylvania residents occupied in
farming before the war, rather
than any estimate of how many can
profitably depend on farmin'; for a
career. He also revealed that more
and more returning veterans are
utilizing the assistance of county
advisory committees.
Our Castoff Clothes
Desperately Needed
By Victims of War
Approximately 25 million children
men and women in the liberated
countries overseas have received
clothing donated by the American
people in the United National Cloth
ing collection of last spring. But
25 million is only a small percent
age of the destitute, homeless and
looted people of Europe, the Philip
pines and the Far East.
Devastation and want in those
lands are on so vast a scale as to
be almost beyond our comprehen
sion. Millions there are even now
inadequately clad for winter
weather, for health and for self-
respect. It is estimated that in
China alone 200 million people need
clothing.
In the Victory Clothing collec
tion we have the chance to befriend
many more boys and girls and men
and women—as we have befriended
25 million.
When you send a gift to a friend
you enclose good wishes. Contribu
tors to the Victory Clothing col
lection are encouraged to enclose a
friendly message with their gift of
clothing.

Most Powerful Diesel Locomotive in World Hauling Fruit From Florida
The most powerful diesel loco
motive unit in the world has been
completed by the Baldwin locomo
tive works. The new streamlined
giant generates 3,000 horsepower,
one-third more power than ever be
fore has been placed in one cab of
a diesel locomotive. The first of
these great machines has been put
into fast freight service hauling
fresh fruits and vegetables from
Florida to the northern markets on
the Seaboard air line railway. It
is restricted to a top speed of 85
miles per hour, but actually
capable of 120 miles per hour.
The new locomotive is powered by
two engines, each having eight cyl
inders in line. Normally, these
two engines are 1,000 horsepower
each, but the addition of turbo-
superchargers adds somewhat more
than 500 horsepower to each. Each
of these drives a generator. ^

A PEOPLE AT WORSHIP
LESSON TEXT—Exodus 28:1; 35:4-9. 20-
29.
GOLDEN TEXT—Thou salt worship the
Lord thy God. and Him only shalt thou
serve.—Matthew 4:10.
A nation which knows God must
have a place and a plan for wor
shiping Him. The history of Israel
has moved forward in the account
in Exodus where the people de
livered from bondage are estab
lished as a theocratic nation; that is,
pne governed by God.
The covenant at Sinai (ch. 19)
was followed by the giving of the
law (chs. 20-23), and then in chap
ters 24-40 we find the worship of
God established. Two elements are
necessary—a way in which God may
be approached and a place to meet
Him. The former is provided in the
ordaining of the Aaronic priest
hood, and the latter by the build
ing of the Tabernacle.
I. God Provides a Way to Wor
ship (28:1).
The appointment of Aaron as high
priest, and his sons to serve with
him, provided for the proper con
duct of the worship of God which
was to take place in the Tabernacle.
The sinner coming into the pres
ence of God must approach by way
of the brazen altar where sacrifice
could be made for sin. This called
for a priest set apart for this holy
duty, which would open the way for
the repentant one to enter into the
Holy place, and ultimately to know
that his sin was covered in the Holy
of Holies.
Consider the grace of God in thus
providing for the deep spiritual need
of His people. All of this pointed for
ward to the day when Christ the true
High Priest was to make the perfect
and final atonement for sin by the
sacrifice of Himself on Calvary’s
tree.
The symbolic dress of the priest
and his consecration for his duties
are all very instructive, hut we do
not have space to comment at
length. Suffice it to say that the one
who is to serve in the conduct of the
worship of God is to be a called,
cleansed and consecrated man, set
apart for a holy calling and eager to
be used of God to lead men into fel
lowship with Him.
From these first provisions for
the worship of God we thus may
learn many of the high principles
which are to guide the church re
garding the call and separation of
men to the ministry. The gift and
grace of God shown in the man’s
character are far more important
than intellectual or social standing.
II. God Provides a Place of Wor
ship (35:4-9, 20-29).
The plan for the Tabernacie was
given by God to Moses in much de
tail. A close study of it will bring
rich reward.
Although the platis were made by
God (Exod. 25-27), note that He gave
to the people the privilege of pro
viding the materials. They recog
nized it as a high privilege and not
a burden, and they came enthusias
tically with their gifts.
That thought bears application to
the believer, for we know that God
still loves a cheerful giver (II Cor.
9:7). Those who groan and grumble
about the money and material
needed for the worship of God have
not caught the real spirit of Chris
tian giving.
The children of Israel brought
more than enough of their most
treasured possessions and of the la
bor of their hands; in fact, they had
to be told to stop (Exod. 36:1-7).
Imagine having to tell people to stop
giving! That would be a novelty!
The Tabernacle was duly built,
and thus there was provided for Is
rael a place of meeting (Tabernacle
literally means “tent of meeting”),
beautiful and appropriate for their
days of sojourning in the wilderness.
The significance of the Tabernacle
is both interesting and important.
(1) It is a symbol of God’s pres
ence with His people. All who were
defiled were excluded because God
was there.
(2) It is a type of God’s* method
of bringing sinners to Himself. There
must be a sacrifice for sin before
communion can be established.
The furniture of the Tabernacle is
therefore significant. The altar of sac
rifice and the laver of cleansing
come first in the outer court. Then
on his journey from the sacrifice to
the communion of the Holy of
Holies, the one who seeks God is fed
by the showbread, lighted by the
candlestick and sustained by prayer,
of which the altar of incense speaks.
Christ is the Bread of life, the
Light of the world, our High Priest
and interceding Advocate.
Within the Holy of Holies the
mercy seat typifies the covering of a
believer’s sins by the blood of Christ.
(3) It is a symbol of the incarna
tion of Christ of whom it is said that
He “tabernacled” with men.
(4) It is a symbol of heavenly
things. Christ now appears in heaven
for us as our minister and high
priest (Heb. 8:1-5).
(5) It is a symbol of God’s dwell
ing with men in the ages of eter
nity (Rev. 21),
