Lures Bucks Teachers With Bucks By JIM GOODMAN Courier Times Staff Writer Levittown, N.J., is raiding Lower Bucks County schools in a search for teachers to keep up with its rapidly expanding school population. Five teachers from three Neshaminy Joint School District elementary vschools have resigned and two more are leaving Bristol Township, all for new teaching positions the'Levittown, N.J. schools.

The New Jersey law calls for a mandated $250 a year salary for each year of military service, up to four years (or to all male teachers. $4,200 To Start A $4,200 starting salary for teachers with no experience and a bachelors degree is offered by the Neshaminy. Pennsbury and the Levittown. N.J., school district.

But, with the veteran's special compensation, N4 can offer a $5,200 starting salary to a teacher with no experience, a degree and four years of military service. The advantage the law gives the New Jersey is that they can easily offer more to a male teacher for a key faculty without raising the salaries for the entire ly femal faculty. Dr. Oliver S. Heckman, regional of the Joint Di.strict, said the live teachers that system is losing to Levittown, N.J., include three from the Walter Milier School, one from the Samuel Everitt wSchool and one from the Albert Schweitzer all in Levittown, Middletown Towaship, Strains Systems Dr.

The products were identified as Blue Bonnet margarine; Palmolive Rapid Shave, a shaving cream; Alcoa wrap, an aluminum foil, and Pepsodent tooth paste.

The commission charged yesterday that demonstrations of these products in TV commercials and in some instances in newspapers and magazine ads not prove what they purport to ITie alleged deceptions included a moisture producing substance applied to the margarine to produce and glass or plexigla.ss coating on sand to give Rapid moistening qualities would permit even sand paper to be shaved.

Parents Insist He told of several problem students he had in the past because parents insisted they be started in school before they were ready. He said he worked with the children in every spare moment before school, during lunch and after school. Despite the extra attention, he said, the children had a hard time keeping up with the class.

It was learned after the meeting that one child, who at Christmas time -had been asked to first grade until next September, has n3w been reinstated. Was A Mistake R. Philemon Stout, school board president, said the parents were asked to take the child out of school until next year through a mistake. He said the tests showed that the child did have the required mental age. However the child has been a discipline problem in class.

Stout said he sure why the child out, but he said as soon as Dr. Eberhart found out about it he ordered the child reinstated. Stout said the special kindergarten program suggested by Eberhart had been discussed by the school board previously. The board is still discussing it, but nothing has been decided yet. Any such program would be set up next year and would not benefit the children year, he added.

Term Expired But Zoning Board Member Still Served the decisions made by Bristol Zoning Board of Adju.stment last year valid? This is the question facing township officials today after it was learned that the term of Dooley, the chairman, had expired Jan. 1, 1959. Neither Dooley, nor any of the Bristol Town.ship Board of Commissioners. which appoints the members to the zojiing board, realized the term had expired. Thought It Was 5 thought he had a five year Lava Flows In Hawaii KAPOHO, Hawaii (UPI)-A red hot blanket of lava from Kilauea newest eruption rolled slowly toward the sea today through sugar cane fields, coffee plantations and a papaya farm.

However, no injuries were reported as a result of the mile- aiid-a-half-long line of volcanic fountains which began erupting Wednesday night in the agricultural district of Puna on the island of Hawaii. The lava flow, estimated to be nearly 300 yards wide, was reported withia a mile of the sea. It was moving sluggishly through the many small valleys of the area. More than 100 acres of newly planted sugar cane was covered by lava Thursday. Trees and telephone poles burned as they w'ere engulfeid, and barrels of diesel oil this used as tractor fuel exploded from the heat.

said William J. O'Neill, who was president of the board of commissioners when term expired. O'Neill served on the zoning board himself before he was elected to the board of commissioners. Township officials feel there will be any serious problems despite the fact that Dooley served last year w'ithout official appointment. Most of the decisions 0 fthe board were made by unanimous vote of the three members.

However, there miglit be some question about actions of the board, Joseph Chmielewski, resigned. This left only Dooley and Vincent Hartley. W'ere Action.s Valid Since they constituted a majority of the board the two met and acted on petitions for variances or special exceptions to the zoning code. The problem is, W'ere these actions valid since Burglary (Continued From Page 1) his truck to haul the stolen goods to Bristol for $25. In Trenton, the zoning three men contacted Elliott and three term had expired.

Aside from the legal aspect the oversight has created an interesting political situation, Dooley is a Democrat. When his term expired the Democrats had control of the board of commissioners. Now, however, the Republicans control the board. Politically Conscious And the Republicans, who are just as iXilitically conscious as the Democrats in matters like this, are expected to name a Republican to post. Also Hartley's term on the zoning board expired the first of this year.

Hartley is now a member of the board of commissioners. By rights, the Democrats could have reappointed Dooley if they wanted and also named someone to succeed Hartley. The Democrats had appointed William D. Muller, a former commissioner, to fill unexpired term. Missed The Boat Blit the Democrats missed the boat and the Republicans now have a chance to make two appointments and take control of the zoning board.

The only problem is that the board will end up with inexperienced members, Muller, appointed last month by West, police reported. Faragalli, Sgt.
