Building boys is better than mending men
Know Your City Educational Re Quote notes a column from two years ago about drought driven school plays and financing. Alpine school officials struggle with playground insurance for all activities. Mr M L Hopson of The Pilot Company Raleigh NC handles 800 policies at 1.25 each with slim profit and potential policy changes. A competing policy offers same protection and is under study with costs about 1 to 1.50 per child.

Alpine Schools Face Staffing and Maintenance Challenges
Alpine public schools wrestle with paying for policies as many districts pay lump sums. On May 25, longtime cafeteria manager Mrs. J. E. Gray, Jr. resigned to run her own business, after years of running Alpine Central and Centennial cafeterias and supervising meals for about 285,000 students since 1946. Custodial staff begin summer repairs, including roof patching and field maintenance for Alpine High, with Mr. Mack Brown on leave and Henry Olazaba overseeing duties in his absence. General Motors highway construction film arrives for October 18 1954 showings, and a UT campus class ring was found and returned to its owner.

Why Wood Crackles When It Burns
The crackling sound comes from moisture in numerous small cells. Heat creates steam that builds pressure and causes tiny explosions, producing the familiar crackle.
