m P: f m. PAGE SIX JUST THE TYPE By F. L Rowley S HERIFF GILES leaned wearily against the closed ticket win dow as the long passenger train came to a gasping stop Rain water dripped from the poorly lighted sign above his head—the ragged lettering on the sign stated simply: HILLCREST. Sheriff Giles sighed. His incuri ous gaze took in the same drab scene night after night. He longed for the old days when people had some spunk. He looked scornfully mt the spineless specimens of hu manity trudging across the little causeway that led to the street; backs bent, collars up. The good sheriff shook his head sadly. He was preparing to follow the group of sleepy commuters when his ears caught the sweetest sound he'd heard in years: **Say Spike, when do we get the loot?" Sheriff Giles’ heart began to beat again. He beard another voice reply softly—"tomorrow.” then all was quiet Presently he saw two men emerge from the shadows of the baggage shed. This was by far the most exhilarating thing that bad happened to Giles in years. Be straightened his tie. tugged at the brim of his hat. then crept along in the wake of the mysteri ous strangers. Giles was not an Impetuous man. He planned to give these characters plenty of rope Rain and darkness enabled him to step within earshot of the two shadowy figures "When do we shoot. Spike?” the short man asked. "As soon as I get the layout,” answered his tall, thin companion. *T understand there's a sheriff in this one horse town. Maybe we can shoot him." Sheriff Giles nearly swallowed bis plug. This was even better than he had hoped. It would be a real pleasure to toss these rogues Into his empty Jail. He could pic ture Mayor Cook shaking his hand and retracting the nasty statement be'd made about Giles not being able to recognize a crook if he saw one The two men turned into the only hotel in Hillcrest. Giles, peer ing through the lobby window. marveUed at their cool appraisal of the small room—this was what his city friends would term ‘casing the joint’. When they had gone upstairs Giles let himself in quietly to check on their room number The sleepy clerk handed him the key to the room adjoining theirs Giles, his ear pressed against the cold wall of the dark room in the Hillcrest Hotel, listened in amazement, his lower jaw dropping to his chest— "Say Spike, when does the mob get in?” “Tomorrow morning,” replied the soft voice. "Tell the boys to leave the powder, dynamite and heavy equipment at the station. We’ll pick it up when we’re ready for the bank robbery." "How about the sheriff?” "See If you can get him—it’ll save me the trouble." Sheriff Giles had heard enough. He was dealing with hardened criminals this time He had until one o’clock tomorrow to swear in a few good deputies. He’d show crooks that they couldn’t thrive in Hillcrest! It was exactly one o’clock the next day when Sheriff Giles led his little band of nervous deputies in a surprise raid on Spike’s •gang’ Giles himself was the first to burst into ,the room, his gun poised for action. The room was crowded. Well dressed men and lovely girls turned appreciative eyes on Giles. "Won derful!’’ one girl cried, "—just the type.” Sheriff Giles flushed. "Wha— what’s going on?" he stammered. “How’d you like to play the part of a sheriff in a western movie that we’re going to shoot here in Hillcrest?" Giles recognized the voice—the big man who faced him was Spike. "But—the powder? The dyna mite?" "Just fireworks for the bank robbery scene." the big man ex plained "How about it? Will you take the part?” (■■ k ■■r-rr-rr-rrrT-rBBE-Br-r-'; M ‘ 15* ’! '!■■» 1*9 Ifv mum rPTHHIf ■■ r ll ■■■.' vv* mmi lav [■««&■■» RffS’ COMBINATION STANCHION . . .

Miss Sease is now assis tant principal of Drehfer High school in Columbia and coordina tor of activities in that school. “Parents and Teachers as Part ners” was the subject of Miss Sease’s informative talk. First of all she gave the definition of partnership as togetherness and cooperation. Our mutual goal is well de veloped and well educated chil dren. To meet this goal, the teach er and parents must teach the child to respect others, appreciate beauty, to have a reverend and worshipful attitude toward things eternal, to have the ability to work together. Educate the whole child. Children should be taught not only the 3 “R’s” but also learn how to live with others. Some things to help achieve this goal of teacher and parent part nership are: The desire to coope rate is strong. Try to obtain know ledge of the things which we do not understand—Avoid distorted opinion of each other. Teachers should have a good appearance in self and clothes. The modern par ent should want to understand the child, and promote the love, safety and security of the child. Sometimes parents consider teachers as baby sitters. Teachers are sometimes critical of the home. Teachers affect children for good or for bad. Good if emotion ally stable—bad if too emotional. Parents, teachers, and children should work, play, and study to gether. The following questions were given out for open suggestions: 1. If you could speak with com plete frankness as a parent to a teacher, what suggestions would you offer, both as to personality and as to specific skills? answer— Respect and love child. Give child chance to develop talents to full est extent. Laugh more. Be hu man and warm. Be careful of ap pearance. Be patient, understand ing and show kindness. 2. If you could speak with com plete frankness as a teacher to a parent what suggestion would you offer? Answer—^Children should have more respect for elders. Parents should have more good times with children—give more home respon sibilities. Be fair, firm, cheerful and teach the ability to cooperate. 3. What happens when parents and teachers cooperate? Answer—Better schools, health ier communities thrive when teach ers and parents cooperate. 4. What do you think are some reasons why parents and teach ers do not cooperate? Answer—Lack of interest, lack of understanding, don’t know each other, lack of time. Put first things first. It is not the quantity of living but the quality that counts. 5.

Be cause it’s a woman’s problem, it took a woman to solve it. She is Judith McCann, who previously dreamed up the revolutionary earrings that fit without pinching or pres sure. Her new invention is a device that simply shoves onto a necklace, fastening it firmly in place. With the shove-on device, a woman can make a neck lace into a choker, if she likes, or wear it at any length she prefers.

Each necklace may be detached from the shove-on de vice and the device itself worn as a clip or hair ornament. Each necklace may double as a bracelet.
