8 North Westchpster Times New Castle Tribune, Mount Kisco, N.Y., February 14, 1963 County Fair Is Slated March 9 at Bell School CHAPPAQUA- Chappaqua's annual \Coum y Fair\ will return to the auditori um of the Robert E. Bell School Saturday afternoon, March 9. ac cording to an announcement by Chairmen John Logan and Bob Penterson. The indoor winter carnival, fav* orite of the small fry (from five to 55) is the one fund-raising ev ent of the year for Boy Scout Troop 2 and Explorer Post 2. Well - known amusements and attractions, such as the \Niagara Falls,\ will be brought back by popular demand. To \Make Like Niagara,\ a youngster rolls a water-filled bal loon down an incline. The Falls occurs when the balloon disin tegrates as it strikes the sharp tack at the end of the incline. The Merriment occurs at the expense of the Boy Scout seated just be yond, who hopes some of the younger set score spares in stead of strikes. Two Hours of Fun Forty scouts and explorers and' their dads are making plans for two hours of fun and games, con tests and guessing-bees. In addi tion the hundreds of attenders will share in some 60 prizes. Scouts and their dads, in booths lining the walls of the open audi torium, will urge tests of skill at the water pistol candle shoot, the wet sponge throw, balloon basketball, the straight nail pound the bazooka shoot and many others. Special prizes will be awarded to those who estimate most ac curately the length of Lulu the snake, the number of beans in the bottle and the weight of the gold brick. Lucky Bucks are the medium of exchange for the amusements at the booths and the various contests. The luck and skill of al most any eight-year-old — and ? few parents — will win back the Lucky Bucks on a sort of self- sustaining basis. Inflated Currency A 35-cent ticket to the Count y Fair is traded at the door for 20 of these lucky bucks. A dollar invested in a sheriff's badge gains the holder $60 worth of the in flated currency: enough to car ry a couple of kiddies all after noon. Hard coin can be used in nom inal amounts for such gourmet's delicacies as frankfurters, pea nuts and soda pop. There will also be homemade cookies, brownies and cup cakes, contributed by the Boy Scout mothers, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Lester Garvin. Among the Chappaqua dads on various committees are Ted Fer- rant, Paul Richards. Bill Dun ham. Guy McBride, Walt Amad- on. Joe Kuplin. Howard Spende- low, Bill Hoeft. Howard Mor ton, Bob Head, Tony Zules. Dave Hyde and Dick Baker. Troop 2's scouts have just re ceived an allotment of Count y Fair tickets and will cover north ern Westchester in their selling competition. Tickets may also be bought at the door.

MICHAEL LOBOSCO, sixth grade mathematics teacher at the Robert E. Bell School is shown reading something that appears to be quite amusing. Teaches at Bell Mr. Lobosco came to the Bell School in September to teach math in the sixth grade's newly established departmenta lized program. In addition to his teaching here, Mr. Lobosco is vitally concerned with edu cation in his hometown, Ha- worth, N.J. — Staff Photo by Doris B. Kirchhoff. Michael Lobosco Has Spent 23 Years in Public Education Daniel V. Flynn & Son, Inc. Richard A. Flynn, Pres. General Insurance 25 E. Main St. MT. KISCO MO 6-7700 By PEGGY RICE HAPPAQUA— Though Michael L. Lobosco is new to the Chappaqua teaching staff, he has spent 23 years in public education, both as a teach er and an administrator. Mr. Lobosco, who teaches math ematics to sixth graders at the Robert E. Bell School, is one of the several new specialist teach ers that the Bell School's new departmentalized sixth grade pro gram required. \Teaching math to these sixth graders, is,\ says Mr. Lobosco, \a real challenge.-It's just amaz ing how much some of them un derstand. Why, I give them as daily teasers, just for fun, prob lems that defy calculus and alge bra and they still come up with the right answer. Some of them will stop me on the playground or in the hall to tell me the ans wer to such a problem.\ Bridges Gap The sixth grade math program is designed to bridge the gap be tween the basic traditional math materials and the new concepts being taught in the upper grades and the high school, explained Mr. Lobosco. These concepts include an ele mentary idea of set theory and the use of modern mathematical terminology such as commutative principle, associative principle and distributive principle. In short, he continued, the em phasis in the present math in cludes less of the social utilities phases and more of the struc ture of mathematics. Engineering Major Mr. Lobosco prepared for teach ing at Paterson State College, where he majored in engineer ing for his first two years in order to get a strong math and science background. He received his B.S. in 1940 in elementary education. After a brief period of substi tute teaching, Mr. Lobosco was drafted as one of the early pre- World War II draftees. After a year as an enlisted man, he at tended Officers Candidate School where he earned his bars, and soon found himself teaching again, this time as a logistics instructor. Mr. Lobosco says he had a well rounded service career which included serving in an armored division and in the Army Air Corps and wheh took him over seas several times. Taught in Hawaii Mr. Lobosco even taught in an Hawaiian public school for sev eral months while awaiting his discharge. This school, with its typically Hawaian mixture of races and nationalities, he found very interesting. Immediately after his discharge Mr. Lobosco started teaching sev enth and eighth grade science and mathematics in Hawthorne N. J., and also pursued his mas ter's degree in administration and supervision. From Hawthorne, Mr. Lobosco went to Haworth and then to Ridgewood, where he spent five years as a sixth grade teacher responsible for all phases of ths sixth grade curriculum, in con trast to his more specialized work in Chappaqua. Elementary Principal Following his years as a class room teacher, Mr. Lobosco be came an elementary school prin cipal in a district where he says he was the whole administrative staff rolled into one. Consequently when after sever al years, an opportunity arose to become a vice principal in Ha worth, Where he would have less administrative responsibilty and would be more closely related to instruction, he accepted the posi tion. This was a interesting position at which Mr. Lobosco remained for five years, until he was made actng principal. Going so, as he puts it, \I started looking around.\ Newly Created Post Just at this time Bell School principal Dr. Louis Christensen was also looking around, for a math teacher to fill the newly created post in sixth grade. Mr. Lobosco filled the bill and he's happily back at teaching and the Bell School has the elemen tary specialist in mathematics that its new curriculum requires. It should be noted that Mr. Lo bosco is one of two such teach ers. Miss Edith Scott also teaches sixth grade math at Bell. Mr. Lobosco lives in Haworth with his wife, the former Jennie Marie Rotella, whom he married in 1947, and their three children. Other Interests When asked about other inter ests, Mr. Lobosco reported that presently his big interest outside of teaching is his campaign for school board member in his na tive Haworth. \I feel,\ says Mr. Lobosco, \strongly about the quality of education. I think my working knowledge of education can be useful in improving the school in Haworth.\ The school board there is res ponsible only for the elementary school, Mr. Lobosco explained, since the large area high school is administered by a different board. \In Haworth at present the school board is 90 per cent a building and grounds committee,\ he continued, \and I think there is a serious need to assess ways and means of improving educa tion.\ Mr. Lobosco was anxious to make it very clear that any critism he expressed was about the Haworth school board, not school boards in general. In fact, he says, watching the creative way many school boards do act has helped him see the lacks ir Haworth's. \I have three chil dren in school in Haworth and own my home there. I have to be concerned with the quality o* its education.\ Other Interests In addition to his present cam paign for a seat on the school board in Haworth, Mr. Lobosco's other interests are those of most suburbanites. First there is his house, which he recently finished, and was built to the Lobosco's exact requirements, with Mr. Lo bosco acting as his own contrac tor. Photography, the American Le gion, the library board, civil de fense, all of these are interests of Mr. Lobosco, but he says \education is my first love, and anything pertinent to education is what I enjoy most.\ Thanks to the want ads you can trade it for cash AGENTS ALLIED VAN LINES Ino.

Chappaqua has had American Field Service students from for eign countries, and Chappaqua students sent by. the AFS to oth er countries have been ambassa dors for the United States. How to increase contacts such as these through other private and spon sored programs for student trav el is the purpose of the newly formed \Opportunity for Student Travel Abroad Committee.\ At a meting held last Thurs day at Horace Greeley High School, the following program was presented to interested stu dents and their parents. Dr. Donald Miles spoke about travel and study in Latin Ameri ca through the International Fel lowship Program, a reciprocal plan requiring the formation of a local chapter. Justin Kline, executive director of American Youth Hostels Inc., spoke about the opportunities for student tours in North and South America as well as Europe. He showed several slides of hostels around the world. . David Lasker told about his ex periences on such a tour in Eu rope last summer. Miss Betty Smith, New York regional representative for the Experiment in International Liv ing, explained this program. Since .the basic philosophy of the Experiment is that advances in world peace can be made at the individual level by introduc ing people of one country to peo- The committee plans to act as program is a month spent living as a member of a foreign fam ily and then a month of travel. Mrs. N. B. Duffett spoke about the summer school at the Insti tute of Technology in Monterrey, Mexico, and Brenda Carlson, who studied there last summer told the group about her experiences as a student. The meeting was moderated by Matthew Polizio, teacher of for eign language at the high school. The committee lans to act as a clearing house for information not only for opportunities avail able for high school students but also for older students in Chap paqua. Anyone interested in se curing information about these programs can call either Mrs. W. H. O'Connell, or Mrs. Philip Kirk, both members of the com mittee.

It's tough when a petappliance conks out But... have you ever thought about how many ways you depend on electricity day in and day out? From can openers to dishwashers to TV sets, electric appliances that most of us didn't have 15 years ago have become common to us now. They save work and time, and provide entertain ment. And, of course, that's why so many folks use more electricity today, and why their electric bills are somewhat higher than they used to be. But with Cori Edison's step-down rates, the more electricity you use, the less it costs per kilowatt-hour. Electricity is still your big household bargain. I p l l i i i 1 l • POWER FOR PROGRESS
