P.T.A. [[illustration]] We surely must hurry if we reach our goal for membership this year. We have been asked to give a report the first of April; so won't you help us now. We expect to have at least five representatives at the District meeting at Manassas on April 6. MARCH The birds are flying over the trees And down below are the humming bees. And on the lawn are some violets blue. Oh! isn't the month of March good to you. And when the rain is falling, And my little ducks start crawling. I know that March is almost here, Or at least it's pretty near. Oh! the month of March is here at last, And the month of February has already past. Shirley Underwood Fourth Grade LUMBER Some of our houses are made of lumber. Men go out into the forest with axes and saws and cut down the trees. They cut down the largest trees. After they cut down the trees and the branches are cut off, they are chained to horses and carried out of the forests. We call this "snaking logs." The logs are taken to a flume where they are shot down into the water. The water carries them to the sawmill. One after another the logs are pulled down from the water up a run way to the saw. The machinery makes so much noise the workmen cannot hear one another speak. The great saw buzzes as it bites into the logs. Trains carry the clean sweet smelling boards to the city where they are unloaded and stacked in neat piles to dry. 3B Grade [[illustration]] Miss Smith - What is an incinerator? Harvey Anderson - An incinerator is a thing which you put eggs into to hatch baby chickens. Patient - Tell me the worst now, doctor. Doctor - No. I'll send the bill later. A Sunday School teacher asked a little boy why he was tardy. "I was going fishing, but my daddy wouldn't let me," said the boy. "You're lucky to have such a fine father like that," said the teacher. "And I suppose he explained why you shouldn't go on Sunday. "Yes, mam," replied the boy. "He said there wasn't enough bait for both of us." "Isn't it strange! My best ideas come to me while I'm washing my hands." "Say old man, why don't you try taking a bath." "Why are you running?" "To stop a fight." "Who's fighting?" "Oh. just me and another guy."
