Dates of the annual Punkin- town Fair are Fridays and Saturdays, July 27-28 and August i ind 4. The kick-off party was an idea instituted by Chairman Kay Lam boy to familiarize all workers with the plans, and to coordinate the many different activities which take place in conducting the now very extensive Punkintown Fair. The erection of booths and setting up of the fair has pro- gressed under the guidance of Construction Chairman Bill Campion. Boynton Leonard, Joe Jaycox and Vern Davis have been lining up publicity via radio, newspaper and tele- vision, while Paul Starker and Bill Okesson have been adapt- ing the miniature hook and ladder with public address equip- ment for a tour of publicity duty. At the party, Chairman Lamboy welcomed several new workers to the ranks of the Punkintown Fair \Eager Bea- vers,\ among them Jim Britt, Howard Luscomb, Robert Hus- band and Al Wehren. Extensive repairs have been made to \Ole Tinkaboom,\ the Fair's ancient but worthy merry-go-round, to assure the safety of this year's patrons. The \doodle bug\ which re- placed \Ole Puffer/' the steam engine, also has been brought up to date and to a higher state of efficiency by the installa- tion of a fuel injector. From all indications, this year's 14th Punkintown Fair should be another humdinger. And next Friday, July 27th, is OPENING NIGHT. E (Editor's Note: During the» las* ; several weeks, news stories and \Let*-. ters to the Editor\ have appeared In :\'.| area newspapers, Including the En- terprise, relative to the refusal of the Board of Education of the Guild* srland Central School District t o grant \tenure\ to a veteran school' teacher. Until this week the Board of Education has not made public answer to arguments advanced in fa- <ior of the teacher. Wednesday tlie ' Board of Education issued a state- ment, which is printed in full below).

There are certain duties of the Board of Education, such as hiring new teachers, placing teachers on tenure, and accepting resignations, which must be done according t o the best judgment of the board without interference, or pressure from Well- meaning but essentially harmful pressure groups; harmful 'because they cannot be as thoroughly ac- quainted with all the factors inVolv- ed in a decision as the board mem- bers are and their judgment is often based on prejudice and emotion in- stead of the welfare of the school system as a whole, which is the pri- mary concern of the Board of Edu-i cation. The board has not replied public- ly heretofore to the charges and ac- cusations of Mr. Williams, since it believes the* intelligent citizen has enough faith in the Board of Educa- tion elected to office, and in the ad- ministrative staff of our schools to trust their judgment in decisions af- fecting our school children. The publicity releases of Mr. Wil-' liams and his group have contained sb many misleading statements -and accusations, that we feel it is neces- sary to clear away the confusion with the truth. j Up to this time also, the board has been unwilling to make public Its confidential files .concerning ' the teaching ability of Mars.
