PAQEJ TWELVE THE RECORD-ARGUS GREENVILLE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, Looking for Experiemt? Legend of "Lady and the Lantern" Still Persists If you are not too ing for the Great Pumpkin of soaping windows and throwing corn, or even out trick or ing, and you feel like a little excitement on Halloween night, perhaps a jaunt up to Beil Hill south of Greenville might turn out to be the hair-raising experience you are looking for. The area between New Hamburg and Kidds Mills Rd. is the alleged haunt of "The lady and the lantern." Sightseers have come from miles around to peer into the phosphorescent light that is said phosporescent light that is said to twinkle in and out of the woods near Beil Hill. Natives say the glob of light is the lamp of a lady who was to death by a buggy on Beil Hill one night in 1880. A nearby dwelling has for years been plagued with strange phenomena that brings "ghost- watchers" from miles around.

The home is alleged to be the farmhouse of the ghost's sister. The lady is said to have visited her sister just before her buggy overturned on the nearby hillside. Many think the lady returns for aid. Oldtimers are certain she the lantern for help. A few years after she died, a farmer claimed he saw a light seemingly melt into the ground beside a fence where the Victorian lady met with her fate.

The lady's brother-in-law and sister; some time after her death, were walking along the dark and dreary road leading to the hill when a lantern appeared and guided them to their destination. Passersby has reported seeing the dim and penetrating light af a kerosene or oil lamp in the corner of the room even when the old farmhouse has oeen unoccupied. So if the night is dark and you're feeling spiritous, see for yourself what lurks in the dark shadows of the woods bordering Beil Hill.

BAKER GREENVILLE AREA SCHOOL BOARD By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) Things a columnist might never know if he didn't open his mail: Would it pay society to pay students for behaving well in school rather than poorly? Instead of punishisg students for bad behavior, Dr.

Edward T. Ladd, an Emory University educator, suggests rewarding them with a salary of $10 or so a month for good behavior. He believes money for such a pioneering project might come initially from foundations. We swat many insects and feel superior to them, but they can do many things we cannot. For example, the long, slender- bodied dragonfly has wings thinner than fine paper, but it can fly at a speed of 40 miles an hour.

It has been said that a committee can never accomplish anything worthwhile. But it was a committee of religious scholars in the 17th century which produced the King James' translation of the Bible, still regarded by millions as the greatest in the English language. America isn't exactly winning its.battle against being engulfed by our own debris of living. Each of us now generates an average of six pounds of garbage each day. That's twice as much per person as we did 50 years ago.

If you want to lose weight and the doctor says your heart is healthy, tennis can be one of your best forms of exercise. It can use up more than 10 times as much energy as you'd expend plodding after a golf ball. Quotable notables: "A man with Christ in his heart can outsmart all McKenney. Jingle, jingle: U.S. coins vary in popularity throughout the nation.

Silver dollars have prac- tically become a symbol of the ree-weeling West, particulary in Las Vegas. Nichels, for some reason, are favored in Baltimore, and quarters in New York State. Pennies have lost their status so much that if you see anyone bend over to retrieve a dropped one, you automatically assume he's over 40 years old and sentimentally remembers when the lincoln one cent piece was the chief prize and financial reward of childhood. Executive signs: On the desk of Jules Podell, Copacabana night club owner: "When a man stops anticipating, he starts wilting." Fading Stripes: Typical of the animal 'species facing is the Bengal tiger. There were an estimated 40,000 of these beautiful creatures, in India during rthe 1930s, but according to the National Geographic Society, only some 2,000 remain alive today.

Worth remembering: "The young man who thought the world owed him a living becomes the old man who blames the world for his failure." Exit lines: The dying words of Charlemagne were, "Lord, into thy hands I commit my spirit." Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, reportedly said, "I have had wealth, rank and power; but if these were all I had, how wretched I should be:" Robert Burns murmured, "Don't let the awkward squad fire over my grave." King Henri VIII cried: "All is lost: Monks, monks, monks:" Stag trip: When migrating, male red-wing blackbirds travel together. Their wives and girl friends make the flight a few weeks later.
