Salisbury to head session at Maine teachers’ meeting

Deale B. Salisbury, social studies and biology teacher at Blue Hill-George Stevens Academy, will serve as chairman of the biology session at the Maine Teachers Association in Bangor Oct. 5 and 6.

The speaker will be Harper Follansbee, head of the biology department at Phillips-Andover Academy, who will talk on “New Trends in Teaching Biology.”

Salisbury is a member of the MTA Representative Assembly from Hancock County. From 1957 to 1959 he served on the convention program planning committee of the MTA social studies department.

Latest word on Esther:

She is, or she isn’t

At this writing, it is not clear if Hurricane Esther is going to hit this area of Maine.

By the time you read this, Esther has either arrived and gone, will be here soon, is here now, or isn’t coming. If she’s here now, you can look out the window and see her—we needn’t tell you. If she’s coming soon, or has been here, you’ll have to wait and read about it next week.

And if she isn’t coming, it isn’t news.
