Not the huge boll that
summoned sludents to
Woods A\eiuie School lor
main years, but a sturdy,
brass hand bell has lound its
way back to the classroom in
the Grist Mill Museum.
Last week a phone call
was recei\ed from Chester
l.ouis Kelting ol Farmin{z-dale.
" M a \ b c \ o u d o ii" t
remember me." said Kelting
(> e old hist o r i a n d i ti
remember), "but m\ lamily
and I li\ed on Alexine
Avenue next door to the
home ol the late Dr. Harold
F. Studwell. superintendent
of schools. My mother who
still li\es there, used to check
on Dr. Stud well's health
alter his wile died and he
was alone. After he died."
Kelting went on. "Dr. Stud-well's
nephew gave a brass
hand bell to us as a small
appreciation of our care. 1
think it should be in the
Museum."
Mr. Kelting thought
correctly!
The bell, ten inches high
w ith a base of six inches w ill
be placed on the teacher's
desk in the school room
under a protective case.
11 visitors should like to
learn first hand the story ol
the Woods Avenue School.

Next week in the Observer

bought?" No, everything is'
donated Irom local residents
and stored carefully when
not on exhibit.

WHO ELSE BUN...When Julio Inglesias comes to
New York, he alwsys makes it a point to stop
by and say hello to a few dear friends. So it
wasn't surprising when East Rockaway's own
sociallite Emma Tolmach presented an Amer-ican
flag, courtesy of Congressman Norm Lent,
to the popular singer during a recent tour of
New York.
