'“She made the sparks fly—and from those sparks came the 'building of fine characters, finer American citizens who went forth into the world and made good, largely because of what she taught them.” Thus Dr. S.

Miss Miller retired from teaching this year after serving for a period of thirty-one years as principal and science teacher in the borough school. Dr. Tangier, who also is retiring this year after a third of a century of teaching, was a Classmate of Miss Miller’s. “Her influence will live long in Lititz and in the school, long after she has retired,” Dr. Tangier continued. “She has had many joyful moment® but thirty-one years teaching also has included many lonely moments of discouragement.

S- Dechert iBasebal lin Philadelphia—Philadelphia has definitely established itself as one of the best baseball towns in the Major leagues during the past seven weeks. Given a chance to watch two clubs which gave peppy performances on the diamond and which entered every game with a fighting chance to win, the fans have turned out -over 383,000 strong to see the Phils and Athletics in theiir home games. The (Phillies, according to official figures released by the 01 ub in a paid advertisement thanking the public drew 143,000 in 19 games. The Athletics, according to unofliicial figures released every day, attracted more than 240,000 in 29 games. And, brother, “that ain’t bay.” Lit whiter Deal—That Litwhiler trade makes owner Bill Cox look smarter every day. Many fans criticized Cox and Manager Harris severely when they turned over Litwhiler and Naylor to the Cards for Triplett, Adams and Clay. Apparently Cox and Harris knew what they were doing. A much-needed shortstop, Charlie Brens-ter, came to the 'Phils in exchange for Clay after he failed to impress at the shortstop position, and from then on the teaim began to click, winning nine out of twelve games when this was written. I don’t think I’ll question another of Cox’s deals in the future. He must be smart. After all, he cleaned up a million or more in a very short time. And then remember, <00, the Phils had lost six in a row with Litwhiler and Naylor in their lineup. Around Town—According to last week’s “Sunday News” Devoe Ember, local kegler of repute, must have been some shakes of a pitcher in his younger days. We learn that Ember led Columbia High School in batting with an average of .429 and that he pitched Columbia to victory eight times, suffering defeat only once. All this happened ten years ago.

That Miss Miller distinguished herself for ‘always being sanely progressive,” was asserted by County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Arthur P. Mylin, who also spoke. “From her classroom came boys who went on to make good in the world of science and girls who have equally distinguished themselves,” he said. “She has contributed much to the lives with whom ishe has come in contact.” Dr. Mylin also kept the audience in a good humor with a number of stories relating to the days when he played baseball on the Lititz team and was a member of the Rothsville band while ¡serving as uperintendent of the Warwick Township schools. “I think it is an exceptionally fine thing that you men of Lititz have gathered here to pay tribute to a teacher,” Dr. Mylin concluded. Dr. M. H. Yoder, member of the local school board, presented Miss Miller with a watch, a gift from the two local service clubs. He also anounced that iMiss Miller lias accepted a position with the Animal Trap Company of America and wished her luck in her new position.
