EMILE LACROIX

Emile I1acroix has won his spurs
as a deer hunter 1t takes a good
nerve, II we believe the old-time
hunters, not to lose your head ana
fire at the wrong time when Dig
buck lifts his head and snlns the
air within short range OF you. In
fact, stage fright is nothing to It,
notwithstanding we are told that an
actor who afterwards became famous
stalled on the line, M Lord, the car

humiliated by finding that instead OF
shooting at the deer a hole has been
made in the atmosphere above the
tree tops.
The dogs, five deer hounds, and
several others, found the deer IN the
Abney cane brake, about IL miles
northeast of Covington, and when
they brought him by the stand where
Lacroix was hidden lacroix could
see his four-pronged horns above the
undergrowth. His first shot hit him
In the heart. 1acroix says the deer
jumped about six feet in the air,
when lhe shot him again through the
neck. BY the time the rest OF the
marty reached the scene he had cut
the deer's throat and had him ready
for the trip home. The deer Weagh-

TALKS ABOUT
SCHOOL
FUNDS

/ find the following in Section 8,
Act 12O, relating to the Parrish
School Boards: buildings, repairs,
supplies, sites, additions to build
ings, and equipment, may be pro-
vided out of the general funds. Com
munities desiring better faclhtles
and longer sessions than can be pro-
vided by a distribution of the gen
eral funds, shall secure same by vot-
ing special taxes, or obtaining ad-
ditional funds from other sources
than the current OF general funds. y
The above is in lime with the plan
which I advocated when coming into
office. MY fellow w-members did nos
endorse my position, and to-day some
of the public schools are in need of
money used for purposes other than
to pay teachers and special schon.
expenses. -.
Every public school building and
the site thereof, dn. this parish. is
parish property, and no ward or
town has voice in the control OF
any public school building built witt
ward or town money. It therefore
seems wrong to not have the general
school fund provide for the upkeep
of the parish owned school prop
|erty.
In the future, it appears to be in
order for all repairs, supplies, an
general upkeep of all public school
buildings in the parish to be provid-
ed for out of the general fund. This
will allow the special taxes to pro
vide for the special school expenses,
and to also have better equipment
and the under-paid teachers to get
better salaries.
know the SEidell situation, at
present, is serious, and presume the
same conditions prevail In several
other schools.
