PAGE TWO. THE DAILY NEWS, HUNTINGDON AND MOUNT UNION, SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1961. Along The Juniata By Jo McMeen Bible THAT'S ONE WAY TO GET RELIGION "Mother, Jeff ate my verse!" A first grader reported this interesting 'development to her mother at the conclusion of a Vacation' Bible School session in Huntingdon this past week. Her mother looked a bit startled at the announcement. But the little girl went on to explain: "But it was all right.

I had memorized it before he swallowed the paper." Idea Disappears That Bible verse the only thing that got eaten during Bible School, we understand. A whole project was consumed by a group of "hungry" students. It seems that one teacher had bought a box of Alpha bits cereal for the children to use in spelling out certain words ih conjunction with one of the lessons. But no one could find two letters, and to complete the necessary Words. So the kids votecj- unanimously to utilize the tid-bits, in another way they ate them.

NOT LEGAL IN PENNSYLVANIA always approach the Fourth of July with trepidation, hoping against hope that no" child will be or killed by firecrackers. Of course, it's against the law in 6Ur Commonwealth to sell or, buy but we all know, the Taw is broken. The Juniata Foundation Branch the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind has issued a special warning this year in connection a Japanese "torpedo type" firecracker on the market. This contains enough powder to injure, blind or- kill, children. They Can Kill The firecrackers are round in shape, slightly smaller than a mar ble.

To entice the children, these potential killers come in a grea variety of bright colors. In fact they, can easily be mistaken for candy or chewing gum balls. These firecrackers can be ig nited if dropped, thrown, or heated and they have enough explosive powder to mangle fin gers or burn a person at close range. The Foundation points out thfc the greatest danger about them is that the crackers might be chewed by children. Even if they are not exploded by pressure teeth and are swallowed, "they can be set off by stomach acid.
