Seems the robin was a victim of its own ingenuity. It had found a piece of thread from the air conditioner cover and promptly requisitioned it for its nest. But after repeated trips back and forth, the poor bird got its leg entangled in the thread and couldnt fly or free itself. The plight of the hapless robin was discovered by Doctor William i H. Chamberlain who recom- mended surgery.

While doctor Chamberlain hold the robin, doctor Ivra- him E. Lauandos cut the string which by now had cled the leg at least times. Mrs. Ann Jacquin, head technician of the E.K.G. 1 department, assisted with the bag.

John Paul, district business administrator, was rattling off a list of bids received for about 20 school supply items.

While most of the figures ranged between $10 and several hundred dollars, one of them was for art supplies costing 95 cents. The chuckling board meni- bers pointed out that the cost of a purchase order, check and IBM processing would be more than 10 times the actual cost of the item Paul explained most of the extra expense can be eliminated by adding the item to another bill from the same company. Possibility Of Recoming Chairman Bucks GOP Women Win Equal Rights Bucks County Republican Women have won their fight for equal rights. This became evident today in the new party by-laws to be proposed for adoption at June 27 meeting of the GOP committee. For the first time, the by-laws allow a woman to be chairman.

The old set of rules stipulated that the vice chairman be a This implied that the chairman would be a man. Not Of Si'me Sex The new by-laws state simply that the chairman and vice chairman shall not be of the same sex. Although only eight members of the 53-member executive committee are women, Chairman Myron W. Harris will probably appoint some women as assistant chairmen. The new laws allow him to appoint as many as eight assistants.

When in January, the newly elected Harris failed to reappoint four women as assistants, three councils of GOP women protested. They all passed resolutions urging that women be given equal consideration in appointments, as candidates for election, and in policy making. The one time four distaff assistants were the doing of former Chairman Paul R. Beckert, now a county judge. When he became chairman in June of 1962, Beckert named four women aides as well as four men.

Harris, who has the endorsement of the executive commit- tee for reelection in June, said with a laugh that he expects no opposition for the post from a lady. Nor did he expect a wom- am to run for chairman sometime. a rough Harris said. Women make up one-third (6 of 18) of the appointed ex-officio members on the GOP executive committee but only two of the 35 committee people elected to it are women. Harris wants to see more elected eommitteewomen on the executive committee.

During a recent speech before the county Council of Republican Women, Harris ruged the ladies: yourself Harris, in the meantime, has given the ladies more represen UNITED NATIONS, NY.

Nichols, 30, is alive today. Doctors said the woman was born with a misplaced heart, on the right side of her body instead of the left a quirk of nature that occurs only once in every 35,000 births. Because of that, the bullet passed through her body and shattered her shoulder blade instead of the heart and she was seriously instead of fatally wounded. The doctor who treated her said Mrs. Nichols almost certainly would have been killed had her heart been in the normal place.

Instead, she is and on her way to recovery. Mrs. Nichols was shot during a family argument.

The State Department of Public Instruction reversed its recent rejection of plans for the extension after hearing an appeal from Dr.

Dr. Heckman made the trip at the request of the Middletown Township School Board, which has provided $20,000 in next budget for the square-foot facility.

Raymond Schuehler Jr.

of Lower Southampton, chairman of the building and maintenance committee. The committee is attempting to keep costs as low as possible on the school by urging steel construction of the type developed a few years ago by the American Bridge Division of U. S. Steel Co. The steel construction is reported to be cheaper and more quickly built than conventional schools, retaining an attractive appearance, according to board members and Neshaminy administrators who have examined such schools in other states.

H-Shaped School The plans picture an H-shaped school with the cafeteria under the auditorium, together forming one of the four of the figure. Another leg would be the swimming pool, gymnasium and for practical arts section. The center of the figure is drawn as the administrative area and the remaining two legs would be a two-story classroom wing.

The two-foot high windows are the first of the kind in the Neshaminy School District. The school opened last September. Discharged The motion by Schuehler to approve the preliminary plans was seconded by Lawrence Levinson of Middletown. Levinson, a member of the building committee, led an effort by some board members three months ago to discard original architec- tural plans of the junior high The land at the lower end of school on the grounds the design would be too costly.

Levinson said last night he is satisfied that the preliminary plans are devoid of and and contain the facilities which the administration considers essential to the educational program. The plans were approved by a 32-2 vote, with only Chester Williams of Penndel and Larry McCloy of Langhorne voting again them. McCloy declined to comment on his opposition. Inadequate Williams, who is on the building and maintenance committee, told the board he objects to the plans because they include a driveway which the State Department of Public Instruction termed inadequate for school bus use. Unanimous Vote the school, where the driveway is to be located, is 12 feet lower than the upper end.

Williams said that since the driveway is not considered safe for buses because of the visibility, it should not be used for automobiles. committee also introduced a resolution asking for a $220,000 loan to pay for already approved parts of the senior high school expansion in Langhorne. The short-term loan, which would be repaid before the bond issue is sold for the rest of the $2.7 million expansion program, was approved. It will be used to pay for the upgrading of present junior high school, construction of classrooms and part of the architects fees.
