AMERICAN LEGION TO PRESENT 'MERLIN THE GREAT' NEXT WEEK By STEVE WILLIAMS Our editorial suggesting consideration of a consolidated high school for Beaver County didn't meet with much favor in the east end of the county . . . and we didn't expect it to. It's okeh to transport students from Minersville to the Beaver High School, but absolutely unthinkable to even consider Beaver students transporting anywhere. Beaver Press Editor George Rich commented on our editorial, and we have to take issue with him on a couple of points. He mentioned $2 million as the cost of such a building. We figure he's a helluva lot more than a million too long on his figure. He also says that a bond election would cost the taxpayers thousands of dollars, and if the election failed to carry the Board of Education would be guilty of wasting the taxpayers' money. Beaver wasn't so concerned about "wasting the taxpayers' money" when three times in recent history they've put the taxpayers to the expense of a hospital bond election . . . and twice they were unable to sell the bonds, and they are now on their third try. Beaver has been approved for funds, subject to approval of construction plans. We do agree with Mr. Rich in his suggestion that "wc should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of consolidating the high schools, and the location of such a high school." And we point out that we didn't in our editorial, say that such a high school be built today or tomorrow, but that the Board of Education, after study of the potential enrollment of all the schools of the county for the upcoming years, set a firm date for establishment of a consolidated high school. Whether Beaver likes it or not, we feci that the children of Beaver County would be offered much better educational opportunities in a consolidated, centrally locatrd high school, than can be offered in two sepcrate schools, wilh both schools crying for adequate funds to carry out an educational program.

Then Merlin stands on the person's stomach. After it's all over, the volunteer remembers the demonstration as though it had taken place in a dream. To demonstrate the power of post hypnotic suggestion, Merlin tells the volunteers that their right foot will be fastened to the floor when they try to leave. They find it impossible to leave the stage until Merlin breaks the spell. Merlin is one of the few magicians who has mastered mass hypnosis, which is generally considered to be the most difficult of all the magicians accomplishments. Instead of escaping from a thoroughly examined and padlocked box, as the Great Houdini did, Merlin locks a young lady in the box, and then in a matter of seconds the lady is out and Merlin is in. The box is unlocked, the lid removed, and out jumps Merlin. Another feature of the show be- Friday afternoon Merlin will "warm-up- " offer a free at the Elementary school at 3 p. m., and a similar free warm-u- p show for students of the high school at 3.30 p. m.
