GOOD FOR EVIL
After suffering neglect as a
young child following his moth-
er' s death, Friedrich Froebel, a
German educator, made cer-
tain that lonely children of fu-
ture generations would be spar-
ed a similar fate. In 1837 at
Blankenbourg, Germany, he
started the first kindergarten.
This early educational experi-
ment, combining creative play
with pleasant surroundings, pav-
ed the Way for today's pre-
school teaching methods.

Wash disease away
Viruses tend to live longer --
from three to five months -- on
wool fabrics than on cotton ma-
terial, researchers find. Virus-
es persisted on cotton fabrics
only three to five days, and last-
ed less than one day on cotton
treated with chemicals giving
the material wash-and-wear
properties, report Drs. Robert
W. Sidwell and Glen J. Dixon
of the Southern Research Insti-
tute, Birmingham, Alabama.
They tested polio and vaccinia
(cowpox) viruses.

Curries to live in the same
house.
The families gathered to
honor the memory of their
pioneer forefather, Robert Cur-
rie, one of the earliest settlers
of this community. It was 115
years ago that the Currie broth-
ers arrived to claim and stake
out the land they purchased for
$2.00 per acre. The first night
Robert Currie slept in a maple
tree just east of where the house
now stands. There were no set-
tlers north of Belgrave in Wa-
wanosh at that time.
