The Ironton school board has had a
couple of meetings this week to con-
slider plans presented by some archi-
tects from Sikeston for the High
School building, One of the plans
presented provided for four rooms,
an auditorium and a large basement
that could be utilized later for any
purpose desired. But no action was
taken. The question of a site for the
proposed building is still sup in the
air" so to speak. One plan proposed
now is to build on the present school
grounds. But the idea does not seem
popular.
An old valley boy and longtime
friend of the REGISTER writes from
Clarks, Louisiana: "We look for the
Ironton paper regularly each week;
could not do without it. I was over
at Winfield a few weeks ago and met
Harry AXE. He has an excellent OPP
portunity and I hope he will make a
go of it. Twas also at Natchitoches
week before last and stopped with
Will Wemp and wife and met their
interesting family. They are doing
well and perfectly happy. With best
wishes to yourself and in quiring
friends"
Congressman Walter L. Hensley
came home from Washington the last
of the week and spent a few days in
this district. He was compelled to
make his stay brief, as his work in
Congress is such that he would not
consent to be away from it while i'm
Lportant legislation is liable to come
up any day. He attended the opening
of the Democratic National ConvenA
ton in st. Louis Wednesday and
Thursday, leaving last night to resume
his Congressional duties. Mr.. Hen
sley expects to be able to spend a
little time, at least, in his district be-
fore the August primaries. He says
he is in better health at present thar
he has been for several years past
and feels confident that he will be
again chosen to succeed himself
