years they were bufleted about bv

could be turned out at any time, and.
hiring themselves to strange masters in
search of laborers, they might some dav

learned that slavery still existed there.
With such incentive behind them they
selected "A tract of land just outside

the purchase OF homes.

Annville Votes Down Loan
For New School Building

Annville, Pa, April IL. A final
appeal was made Tuesday to the voters
of Annville to launch a loan to raise
money for a new school building. De-
spite the sentiment of a large number
and demonstrative parade by all the
school children. the measure was de-
feated by a 340-13S vote.
The buildings used at present for
both the grades and the High School
are inadequate and the sanitary con-
ditions are such that they have been
condemned on several occasions by
State Board Inspectors. In a recent
communication from the State author
tiles it was stated that unless, these
conditions were improved that there
was a probability of the State appro-
priation being withheld. 1t was con-
tended by some that the most practi-
cal plan would be to build a new build
ing that would take care of all the
children of Annville and accordingly
architectural plans were submitted
and have been on exhibition for sew
eral weeks in the hopes that favorable
sentiment may be aroused.
Those who opposed the measure
agreed that a new building was need
ed, but the present national crisis
made 1t imperative that they defer the
building of the same until more fav-
orable times. In the meantime such
improvements will be made on the
old buildings that will bring them into
conformity to the State School Law.
