While they may hove suffered the loss at a pet, the majority of children today have not experienced the death of some person they love. When this situation does occur, it is important that the child be sym- pathetically guided toward an honest understanding of its real\ meaning.” This was the message Rabbi Dr. Earl A.

In, 1969‘ the percentage of crema- tions by regions ranged from a low of less than one per cent in the western North and South Central States (Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, ‘Minnesota, Missouri” Nebraska, North Dak- ota, Oklahoma, South 'Dakota,.and Texas), to ‘a high or 16.9 per cent of. total deaths in the Pacific Coast States of Ca1ifo_rnia,Nev- ada, Oregon and Washington Atty.

The Herbert Hoover Junior_ High’ is a good illustration of short-sighb edness in planning for the future. \In fact, with the new addition at the Truman School, we can say that° every school in Lacka- wanna had an addition to its original structure.

It is 'nowbeing'1:sed as a study hall. - b. The auditorium facilities are totally inadequate. for use. ‘ The building appears to be an\outgrowth of many disjointed building projects and does not provide an acceptable environ- ment nor facilities for a modern junior high school program. Schools, like industries, must be updated to be competitive; or else they will fall by the wayside. So, too, our children must have the best in education like our surrounding communi- ties; because when they graduate from our school system they will be in competition with children from other school districts. If they don't have the proper facil- ities and adequate educational equipment. it too, will fall by the waysi e, trying to com- pete.

Such a survey was made, in fact, in 1963. It revealed that we, the parents and taxpayers, have jeopardized the safety of our children by \per- mitting them to attend a school which is rated a fire trap. \Many people are not aware of the serious conditions that exist in the building today.
