ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ROUND-UP
First Grade News.
The children in Mrs. Whitaker's
room were pleasantly surprised
last Friday when they were invited
to Mrs. Stubb’s 6th grade room to
see the Halloween masks her chil
dren had made. The room was
beautifully decorated for Hallo
ween with real jack o’ lanterns.
While the children wore their
masks.
A Halloween record was playing,
adding much to the occasion. The
first grade children sang three of
their Halloween songs for the 6th
graders and they in turn sang for
them. Following this the children
were given a treat which they en
joyed very much. They said many
thank-yous and returned to their
room feeling quiet grownup.
Mrs. Whitaker wishes to thank
her grade mothers for sending -n
part of the cakes that were used
in the cake-walk at the carnival,
with special thanks given to Mrs.
W. L. Wheelon for acting as cash
ier for the cake walk.
The Third Grade.
The third grades wish to thank
their grademothers for the won
derful job they did with the country
store at the Halloween carnival.
They certainly did work hard and
put it over in a big way. Many,
many thanks!
Fifth Grade.
This week in Mrs. Rice’s room,
Betty Fortune and James Timmer
man are the best citizens.
We are proud to say that Mr.
Louis Stafford our representative
for the king of Halloween carnival
was one of the runner ups for the
king.
Seventh Grade.
The chapel program was an ac
tivity this week and was given by
Mrs. Corkran's room. It was two
plays based on the Lewis and Clark
exploration. Characters were as
follows: Lewis, Jefferson, Clar.i,
Ordway, Coulter, Potts, Chief. Sac
ajawea, Chabounaen, Chief Camea
whait.
Mrs. Sorrell invited Mr. Jones
from Asheville to come to her room
to discuss rocks which they have
been studying in science. They
shared the lecture with Miss Lind
sey’s room. Mr. Jones knows a
great deal about nature. The lec
ture was very interesting. In the

of rocks, and told them about the
formation of the rocks. He helped
them identify the two room’s rock
collection. He also told them about
the different minerals of North
Carolina which is called the “Show

have much value because they have

Klack Mountain Junior Band.
The Black Mountain Junior band
directed by Mrs. Charles Maydwell
played in the Black Mountain Hal
loween parade. They also played
for the coronation of the king and
queen. This coming Friday they
will play for the aluminus club at
Black Mountain High school. The
players are David DuPuy, Ann
Perry, Jimmy Page, Tommy Bliz
zard, Charles Aiken, Thomas Dick
ens, Allen Halcombe, Harry Nan
ney.
Thank You Note.
We want to thank everyone for
their co-operation in helping to
make the Halloween carnival a
great big success. The kings and
queens were chosen by the number
of votes. The ones in the elemen
try grades were Mrs. L. H. Gregory
and Rev. W. A. Huneycutt. In the
primary grades Mrs. Hugh Bran
don and Mr. B. W. Rowland. So
pack up your costumes and we'll
see you next year.
The month of November is a
month when we should remember
our ancestors in two instances.
Thanksgiving on the 26th and Arm
istice day on the 11th. On Arm
istice day was the last day of the
1st World War in 1918. That ’s
the day we pay respect to our
brave soldiers who fought for our
country.
The following week is education
week.
LARK BUNTING
Here is a sparrow that even the
rankest amateur will recognize as
being out of the ordinary run of
sparrows. About 7^2 inches long
with a wing-spread of 11V2 inches
and a tail 3% inches, it could be
classed as larger than a Song
Sparrow and smaller than a Tow
hee. The male in breeding plum
age looks more like a small black
bird or maybe one might say a
sparrow-sized blackbird. The male
has large white wing patches. In
the fall months the male, female
and young are brown with striped
breasts and white wing patches.
The bird weighs about one ounce,
which is more than a Juneo weighs.
The Lark Bunting has been
found all the way across the con
tinent from the Pacific Coast to
Massachusetts but in spite of this
it is essentially a bird of the West.
It appears regularly and in good
abundance in breeding season from
southern Alberta to southwestern
Manitoba south to eastern New
Mexico, northwestern Texas, east
ern Nebraska and west central
Minnesota. East of this area it is
more or less accidental. The win
ter months are spent south of
southern Texas, southern Arizona
on to Sonora and southern Lower
California.
In all its range it is essentially
a bird of the open plains rather
than of the wooded areas. In its

VETERANS ADMINISTRATION office
Only one-time dental treatment
will be given to veterans with ser
vice-connected dental conditions or
disabilities that are not severe
enough to rate disability compensa
tion, Veterans Administration an
nounced.
VA said the limitation for these
non-compensable cases was made
under the basic 19113 law that auth
orizes the Administrator of Veter
ans Affairs to provide such medi
cal, or dental service as is “reas
onably necessary” for diseases or
injuries incurred or aggravated in
line of duty in the active military
or naval service.
The limitation, VA said, does not
apply to veterans receiving disa
bility compensation for service
natural habitat it feeds on the
seeds of weeds, grass and grain and
on grasshoppers, beetles and weev
ils. In some instances it has been
noted that 78 per cent of the food
may be grasshoppers so there is
little doubt about the usefulness of
the bird under these circumstances.
The bird has won popularity
enough in part of its range to have
been selected as the State Bird of
Colorado. This is probably not due
to any recognition of its economic
importance because at times it may
harm growing grain. Rather the
bird offers an appeal because of
its appearance. The fact that it
destroys great quantities of Rus
sian thistle seeds is of course to
its credit but no matter how much
of the surplus the bird might de
stroy there still would be enough
left over to assure survival of Rus
sian thistle.
The nest is built on the ground,
often sunk into the ground. It is
made of grasses and is lined with
down, fine hair and fine dried
grasses. In the nest the female
lays 4 to 5 eggs each weighing
about 1/10 ounce. The eggs are
light greenish blue rarely sprink
led with reddish brown spots.
There may be two annual broods
but this is not always the case.
After the nesting period the male
loses the black appearance which
makes him look like a white-wing
ed blackbird.
I lived in Iowa many years
studying birds without ever seeing
one of these interesting birds. Ypt
when a few years later I spent
some months west of Nebraska, I
got to know them well. Only this
year friends of mine reported see
ing them east of my home in New
York State. I envy them the op
portunity they had but am looking
forward to returning to the part of
the continent where Lark Bunt
ings are an everyday occurrence.

abilities.
Nor does it apply to those vet
erans who require treatment for
dental conditions, whether or not
service-connected, which are med
ically found to be aggravating an
other service-connected disability,
VA added.
All veterans whose treatment for
non-compensable dental conditions
or disabilities already has been
completed will not be eligible for
further treatment of those condi
tions or disabilities.
The one-time treatment for non
compensable cases will prbvail un
less the treatment is found to be
unacceptable "within the limita
tions of good professional stand
ards,” or the veteran is found elig
ible under one or more of the other
dental benefits classifications.
VA said an exception is made
for former prisoners of war who
will receive as many dental treat
ments as are required to take care
of disabilities found to have been
caused by their imprisonment.
The one-time treatment for non
compensable service-connected cas
es may be provided by VA dental
clinics, or VA may authorize par
ticipating fee-basis dentists to pro
vide it.
Q—I’ve been in service since*
1941, and 1 expect to be discharged
in the near future. Would I be al
lowed to train under the World
War 11 G1 Bill, even though the
cut-off date passed in 1951 ?
A—Yes. The July 25, 1951, cut
off date applied only to veterans
discharged before July 25, 1947.
You would be permitted to start
training under the World War II
GI Bill, but you should keep in
mind that the program ends for
nearly all veterans on July 25,
1956.*
