It is all a state of mind. It is always amusing to note those who cry to Heaven about the low moral standards of others They usually have some immoral part of their past that they are trying to cover up.

They have enough to say as it is. If they helped pick the coaches, they would be running the teams for sure. In fact, I think that the coaches who are picked for the jobs should be from out of town. Then they be under the influence of the fans who want to run the show. The school board and superintendent of schools are, in my opinion, best qualified to pass on the abilities of applicants for coaching jobs.

They should not be influenced by the fans who think they know more about sports than the men who are hired to direct the teams. Pott stow SPORTS FAN, TOO Vandals Still at Large To the Editor: Those hoodlums who went around Pottstown smashing cars Again a Menace EEDS again are attracting the attention of citizens. The trouble is, not attracting the right citizens. They are annoying neighbors, but not worrying the lot owners who should cut them or have them cut.

Borough hall says it will be firm the sports fans should pick the coaches, this year and arrest persons who ignore the As it is, a large percentage of the warnings. Pottstown sports fans think they should Besides being unsightly, the weeds be asked their opinion every time the boys on the football field call a play, or whenever the coaches make a substitution in a basketball game. These make it are a health menace. They give pests a good chance to grow there. They ire notorious as breeding places for mosquitoes; they harbor rats and other vermin.

Right now is the time to get rid of weeds because sniffles and sneezes of hay fever begin this time of year. If weeds are cut now the pollen that causes all the distress in the hot months of July and August fly. For reasons of health, cut down those weeds. Protect the kiddies and your pet dogs from ticks. Help your neighbor who suffers from respiratory trouble; keep down the pollen count! for a more beautiful Pottstown, cut down the weeds! Make Pottstown a more pleasant place to live in! criminals pay dollars into the borough treasury.

The fact is, if the cops had caught the vandals instead of the parkers, it would have taken money out of the treasury. The vandals are probably half grown kids who pay a fine, so why arrest them? have to jug them and support them there. But the parkers have to scrape up the fines or they get their cars back. Cops are smarter than most people think. Give them credit.

Pottstown PENNY WISE Cheer for Water Pressure To the Editor: If there ever was a better reason for approval of the water loan at the last election than the end of the Summer water shortage, I find one. The erection of the water tank in the North End is one of the best things that has happened in a long time. Life again will be pleasant in the Summer when this new water pressure goes into operation, So many of us in this end of town wondered if we had been forgotten by the town. This is just a note of appreciation for what is being done to give us water in the hot Summer weather. Pottstown A SUFFERER Housewives Getting Lazy To the Editor: These housewives who leave a pot of stew on the kitchen stove, then leave and the next thing that happens the firemen are there! not criticizing that South Pottstown woman in particular, but housewives in general.

They toss something together for the family dinner, put it on the stove to cook or warm up, then head for the neighbors to get into a gabfest. Women have become more lazy by the generation. They once had their main interest in their families. Now got so little to do that they neglect their families and become sloppy housekeepers. Spring City RD 1 H.

BUNDESEN, M. D. I CLEANING fluids that contain carbon tetrachloride can cause illness and death by delayed action poisoning. This substance is used in most noninflammable cleaning fluids, fire extinguishers, and grease removers. It evaporates quickly when exposed to air, bringing fumes with pungent odor.

Both the fumes and the liquid can be poisonous. Most home users of cleaning fluid have given up the use of inflammable fluids such as gas because of the fire danger. They now use what they think are safe, non-inflammable fluids, never realizing the danger of poisoning. Carbon tetrachloride can cause a lingering illness from one to three which can be quite severe. It may cause kidney failure, liver disease with jaundice, and even death.

It is interesting to note that people who habitually drink alcoholic beverages are more prone to carbon tetrachloride poisoning than are those who do not Many people do not know that tbA fumes are toxic and they have had tacks of this illness without realizing it. Those who use a dry cleaning solution should read the label on the bottle to determine whether carbon tetrachloride is used Most non inflammable fluids do contain it..
