16 THE BANNER 1130 hours, working a total of 4,230 man hours. These boys a11d girls have harvested 100 tons of sweet corn, 25 tons of shell beans, 10,000 bushels of apples, and 3,000 bushels of potatoes. Apparently a large percentage of these crops could not have been harvested at the proper time had it not been for this help from the school students. .This number of students does not in- clude many who have stayed out of school to help harvest crops at homeg neither does it show the accomplishments of boys that have helped to haul, grade, and pack apples and potatoes. that have helped har- vest silage corn, and have helped in other phases of the harvest. As a result of this fine cooperation on the partof the schools, farmers who are raising the crops another year should feel confident that they can plant to their capacity, knowing that the school stu- dents really can do a man-size job in har- vesting when the conditions warrant it. F. M. Crouse NATIONAL HONORS FOR L. F. H. S. SCRAPBOOK, SCHOOLS AT WAR ln October, 1943. we were pleased to learn of further honors for the school scrapbook that was assembled in the late winter of that year. A total of 28,000 scrapbooks were made all over the na- tion by U. S. schools which indicated keen competition. A bulletin from the National Education Department says, The wide range of schools reporting made the collection of scrapbooks doubly significant. Their varied voices show a harmony of purpose that is at the same time exhilarating and heartwarming. Their joint report car- ries a tremendous impact not only because it is from the very grass roots of America but because it expresses a mes- sage of deep significance. XVe were also pleased that this bulletin, speaking of special schools and special methods of school war work, named fif- teen schools specifically. Livermore Falls High School was named among this group. Vile quote, The Public Speak- ing Club in Livermore Falls, Maine, is heading up the thrift campaign there. Another Treasury Department publica- tion says, Our English cousins are now getting Hrst-hand information of the home front activities of American high school students. Sixty-one Schools-at- War Scrapbooks have been sent to Eng- land. The British Division of the Office of VVar Information requested the scrap- books so that British teachers, school ad- ministrators, and students could get an accurate account of our campaigns and War Bond and Stamp Drives. The scrapbooks were apparently stud- ied thoroughly by educators in this coun- try before being sent abroad. It has been recently announced that after leaving England the books will make a good will tour of all the United Nations. In England they will be displayed first at the U. S. Information Library of the Ameri- can limbassy in London before touring schools and teachers' associations. We are pleased to print our official noti- fication by the Treasury Department of our success in this contest. Defense Savings Staff Treasury Department Washington, D. C.
