Girls Unddunted

Owing to the severe cold weather
of Thursday evening, a very small
number patronized the entertainment
given by the school girls OF the Crit
tenton home under the supervision OF
their instructor, Miss Bess Hanson
and only a small sum, between SIS
and IS, was realized from the silver
offering. The program was given in
very pleasing manner, and was
most cordially received by those who
dia attend.
The girls are undaunted by the

LET THE DISTRICT DECIDE

Just now there is a great deal of
feeling over the proposal of ma
jority of the school board to wreck
the Garfield building to furnish a
site for the new high school. But
there is no need Of any town row,
The people of the district are the
ones to say what they want done
and they are supreme over any Of
ficer or board.
A simple way is before them to
settle the matter, The board has
refused a district referendum on
the matter but nothing can prevent
the people having their say on pub
lie affairs 1t is their right and the
basis of government,
Let the issue be squarely up to
the people at spring election on the
candidates Mr. Keel and Mr.. Fen
gel are in favor of wrecking the
Garfield building; Mr.. Engle is OPP
posed to it. All are candidates for
reelection. Put up candidates who
take the opposite view Everybody
put his platform before the people
and let the election decide it.
If those favoring wrecking the
building win accept the peoples
verdict and stop talking about it;
4 if the other candidates win, that too
should settle it. Let the people OF
the district who pay the bills de
eide The election is only five
weeks off and there is ample time
for settling the matter and what the
district says should go.

their places.
